Seeing Xu Qianshan nod solemnly, He Yuzhu couldn't help but chuckle.
"Over the years, I have never had the chance to meet a true martial arts master. I really hope he won't disappoint me this time!"
As he spoke, a hint of anticipation flashed in He Yuzhu's eyes, but more than that, he exuded confidence and composure.
After all, he had just easily broken through Xu Qianshan's dantian, which showed how strong he was.
At this moment, He Yuzhu had already made up his mind. Since he had already punished Xu Qianshan, he had no intention of taking his life as well.
So he raised his voice and said loudly:
"I've always been a low-key person and don't like to show off. I hope you won't spread what happened today. I just want to live a quiet, ordinary life."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that these martial arts masters often had eccentric personalities, and all sorts of strange and unusual temperaments were possible.
Now that He Yuzhu is only asking everyone to keep the secret, naturally no one dares to disobey his orders.
Standing to the side, Councilor Chen felt He Yuzhu's sharp and fierce gaze and trembled instantly. He quickly forced a fawning smile and hurriedly said:
"Mr. He, please rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut and will absolutely not reveal a single word about this matter."
On the other side, Twen Bennett didn't even have the courage to look He Yuzhu in the eye, and could only force a smile and agree:
"Mr. He, please rest assured. I can assure you that I will not reveal a single word of what happened today. Later, we will prepare a generous gift and send it to your residence as an apology!"
If we're talking about the most timid person here, then it has to be him.
It's important to know that Councilor Chen is no ordinary person. He not only has a strong official background, but his family also wields immense power.
In contrast, a character like He Yuzhu would probably be unlikely to vent his anger on Councilor Chen.
And what about myself? Despite my white appearance, I'm just an ordinary small businessman.
If He Yuzhu really intended to take revenge on him, it would be as easy as taking candy from a baby; he could easily take his life! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
At this moment, He Yuzhu nodded slightly, his sharp eyes fixed on the two people in front of him, and said:
"If I find out that you dare to spread rumors about what happened today, humph! Then don't blame me for being impolite, watch your dog lives!"
Upon hearing this, the two men turned deathly pale and immediately began to bow and kowtow, muttering repeatedly:
"Don't worry, we definitely wouldn't dare, absolutely not!"
After making repeated assurances, they hurriedly instructed their subordinates to carefully help the badly injured Xu Qianshan to his feet, and then they slunk away from the school in a disheveled and embarrassed state.
After finally boarding the return cruise ship and managing to deal with the flattering words of everyone around him, He Yuzhu was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and find a moment of peace.
He was then respectfully invited to a room to rest. But he had only been sitting down for a short while when there was a soft knock on the door.
Then the door slowly opened, and Liao Lieying walked in.
She held a plate full of various fresh fruits steadily in her hands, gently placed it on the table, and then smiled and said:
"I brought you some fruit especially, try it and see if you like it."
Upon seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly stood up and replied:
"Oh, you've gone to so much trouble. There's really no need to be so polite."
Liao Lieying gently shook her head, indicating:
"It's just what I should do."
Liao Lieying sat gracefully on the small sofa next to him, turned slightly to face He Yuzhu, and said softly:
"We're having a big celebration party at home tonight, and we really hope you can come!" Her eyes were full of anticipation and sincerity.
He Yuzhu smiled and nodded in agreement. Afterwards, they returned to the dock together.
People came and went at the dock, but everyone said goodbye to each other and left.
He Yuzhu had just gotten into his car and was about to close the door when he saw Liao Lieying quickly open the door and get in.
"Why don't you go home?" He Yuzhu asked, slightly surprised.
Liao Lieying smiled coquettishly and replied:
I want to go with you.
At this moment, in her heart, He Yuzhu was like a dashing prince on a white horse, someone she could hardly bear to part with.
She even wished she could move into He Yuzhu's house immediately so that she could see him all the time.
Upon seeing this, He Yuzhu simply nodded gently, then started the car and sped off towards Central.
Throughout the journey, a subtle yet warm atmosphere permeated the car.
During the drive, He Yuzhu suddenly asked:
"I'm not sure what kind of gift I should bring to the party. I can't just show up empty-handed, that would be too impolite."
Upon hearing this, Liao Lieying covered her mouth and chuckled softly, replying gently:
"Don't worry, it's just a family dinner. You can bring whatever you want."
However, He Yuzhu still felt it was inappropriate and continued to plead:
"How about you help me pick out a gift? That way I won't make a mistake and embarrass myself."
Liao Lieying readily agreed: "Okay!"
So the two arrived at the bustling Central business district. The area was lined with shops, teeming with people, and overflowing with a dazzling array of exquisite goods.
Hand in hand, they strolled down the street, enthusiastically selecting gifts. Before they knew it, time had slipped away, and night was falling.
Finally, after careful selection, Liao Lieying chose a unique gift for He Yuzhu.
Afterwards, the two arrived hand in hand at the foot of Victoria Peak. When He Yuzhu stepped into the villa, he originally thought he would see a large number of guests, but unexpectedly, apart from the host family, he was the only outsider.
Although he was slightly surprised, his good manners prevented him from showing it. He continued to smile and gracefully blend into the warm family gathering.
Today, Liao Baoshan was beaming with joy, his face flushed, showing no trace of his usual dejected state.
Upon meeting, Liao Baoshan warmly invited He Yuzhu into his study.
Only Liao Liewen was granted the honor of entering the study with him, while the rest of his younger siblings were left in the spacious and bright living room.
Liao Liewen deftly picked up a document and gently placed it in front of He Yuzhu.
With a hint of curiosity, He Yuzhu slowly opened the document, only to find a plot of land located in Quarry Bay next to North Point.
He Yuzhu was no stranger to this land, as it was the stakes of today's fierce competition.
Upon closer inspection, the document clearly shows that He Yuzhu is now the owner of the land.
Faced with this sudden situation, He Yuzhu couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"What's going on?"
Liao Liewen smiled slightly and said sincerely:
"I won't say any more words of gratitude. Without your righteous help today, my family would probably have been forced to leave our home and wander from place to place. And who knows, someone in our family might have even met with misfortune and died a violent death!"
Therefore, this land and the corresponding shares are our small token of gratitude to you.
As he spoke, He Yuzhu picked up the land deed again, only to find that there was another share transfer document pressed underneath it.
Prior to this, He Yuzhu had invested a total of 100 million yuan in cash to successfully acquire shares in Liao Chuangxing Bank, thereby obtaining a 10% stake in the bank.
At this moment, Liao Baoshan is sitting in his spacious and bright office, carefully drafting an important document.
His pen danced across the pristine white paper, and line after line of neat handwriting gradually emerged—details and explanations regarding the transfer of 10% of the bank's shares to He Yuzhu.
When the document was delivered to He Yuzhu, he stared wide-eyed, his face filled with astonishment and disbelief.
"This gift is far too valuable, I really can't accept it!"
He Yuzhu waved his hands repeatedly in refusal. He had never expected the Liao family to be so generous.
Keep in mind that this was 1961, and the Hong Kong dollar was still quite valuable back then! An ordinary worker could only earn a couple hundred dollars a month after a hard month's work.
On the bustling Xiangjiang Island, the cost of purchasing a 1,000-square-foot luxury house is only around 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.
Not to mention that rather large plot of land, whose market value has already exceeded one million yuan.
Adding the 10% stake in the bank, it's also quite valuable, worth at least a million dollars.
In other words, the Liao family was very generous this time, not only giving away valuable land, but also handing over their bank shares to He Yuzhu without hesitation.
In this way, the total value of this hefty thank-you gift reached an astonishing two million yuan! Faced with such a huge fortune, how could He Yuzhu not be shocked?
However, the surprises didn't stop there. In addition to the generous gifts from the Liao family, He Yuzhu would also receive an entire industrial building from the renowned Hongfa Trading Company as an extra reward.
In this way, including the industrial buildings he already owned, he will soon own as many as twenty-four large industrial buildings!
Of course, among these many buildings, only one has been completed and put into use so far, while the remaining twenty-three are still under construction and are expected to be completed and delivered in the next year or two.
"Mr. He, you really saved our whole family's lives this time! This small gift is hardly enough to express our gratitude, but please, please accept it!"
Liao Baoshan spoke earnestly and handed the carefully prepared gift to He Yuzhu.
Upon seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly declined, saying:
"Brother Liao, you're too kind! I only did what I could, how could I accept such an expensive gift?"
However, Liao Baoshan held He Yuzhu's hand tightly and said sincerely:
“Brother He, I, Liao Baoshan, am not the kind of person who is hypocritical. If you don’t accept this gift, then you are looking down on me as a friend!”
