Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Then, the man turned onto a path leading to the foot of the mountain behind him, seemingly heading towards the back of the mountain.

He Yuzhu did have some recollection of this bald man.

I seem to remember that this person always worked in the cemetery behind.

After all, they were in a relatively quiet and remote area of ​​Wan Chai, and the back of the newspaper office building happened to be right next to a cemetery.

He Yuzhu was instantly enraged, gritting his teeth as he said:

"Hmph! How dare he flirt with my woman? Tomorrow I'll have someone break his legs!"

Now that I'm a leader, how can I tolerate such a humiliating thing happening? If word gets out, wouldn't people laugh their heads off?

“When the incident happened, there was no one around to help, and I was worried that it would delay your meal and cause more trouble, so I held back and didn’t get entangled with him.”

Du Weifang explained, then a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

"But don't worry, I'll definitely send a few brothers to bring him back tomorrow, tied up hand and foot, and then you can do whatever you want with him!"

He Yuzhu nodded slightly in agreement, then frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look:

"This is really strange. Why would they carry such a huge box?"

Du Weifang blinked and responded softly:

"From what I've observed, he seems to be picking up something for a colleague. Besides, he's quite familiar with many people in our restaurant; he comes to pick up his food almost every day."

He Yuzhu didn't press the matter further, but he felt uneasy, as if something was amiss.

The faint clue seemed so close, yet it was just a hair's breadth away from being fully grasped.

Even during dinner, he seemed absent-minded and preoccupied, his mind preoccupied with what crucial point he had suddenly thought of earlier.

After having dinner, He Yuzhu rested for a while before resuming his surveillance duties.

Meanwhile, Du Weifang had already thoughtfully prepared a steaming bath and called out in a sweet voice:

"Master, you may take a bath now."

He Yuzhu stood up upon hearing the sound, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, and teased:

"You little devil, you're always clinging to your master like this, you're almost draining him dry."

Du Weifang blushed deeply, lightly punched He Yuzhu's chest, and said reproachfully:

"No way! Sir, you're as vigorous and powerful as ever, you're amazing!"

After saying that, He Yuzhu picked up the shy Du Weifang and carried her into the bathroom.

In an instant, water splashed everywhere and mist filled the air as the two entwined themselves in the confined space, enjoying the pleasures of love.

When they finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, they were already intimately connected, body and soul.

Even at this moment, He Yuzhu was still preoccupied with his work. He slowly walked to the chair by the window and sat down, his eyes fixed intently on the newspaper office not far away.

From this angle, you can see not only the entire newspaper office, but also the gloomy cemetery on the hillside behind it.

Du Weifang frowned and muttered to herself:

"This leader is really something, actually choosing such a terrible place to buy."

He Yuzhu echoed:

"You bet! Just looking at that cemetery gives me the creeps, it's really unsettling!"

As she spoke, Du Weifang couldn't help but hum twice, seemingly filled with dissatisfaction and complaints about the place.

Just then, Du Weifang suddenly let out a soft scream, successfully attracting He Yuzhu's attention and causing him to stop paying attention to the situation outside.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly increased the speed at which he circulated his internal energy and transferred all of it to the source.

However, after he had finished channeling his vital energy, he couldn't help but shiver.

In that instant, as if divinely inspired, a bright light flashed through He Yuzhu's mind, and he was instantly blessed.

He suddenly realized the crucial point he had been overlooking all along.

Logically speaking, if someone wanted to monitor the newspaper office, their most likely location would be an upper floor in this area.

Previously, He Haizhu had also acted with this idea in mind. He had already used his special ability to carefully sense those places that might be used as surveillance points, but the result was fruitless, and he did not find any suspicious surveillance personnel.

As a result, He Yuzhu's work was once in a predicament, and he was completely at a loss as to where to begin his investigation.

However, just as Du Weifang was having a conflict with someone, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

At this moment, his thoughts gradually became clearer—since the person wasn't in the building, could the person in charge of surveillance be hiding in the cemetery on the mountain?

After all, most ordinary people hold graves in awe and avoid them.

He Yuzhu, naturally, was no exception; his gaze instinctively avoided the gloomy graveyard.

You see, if the person in charge of surveillance is hiding in this graveyard, then even if you turn the area upside down, it will probably be in vain and you'll find nothing!

"Haha, I finally understand! So that's how it is!" He Yuzhu suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Du Weifang chided him, feeling quite pleased with herself, but this guy was saying something nonsensical at this crucial moment, showing absolutely no sense of romance.

After a brief pause, once she had calmed down a bit, Du Weifang couldn't help but ask again:

"My lord, what could have caused you to be so agitated just now?"

He Yuzhu said mysteriously:

"Come on, let's go clean up first, and then I'll take you somewhere else."

"Oh? Where are you going?" Du Weifang asked curiously.

“The cemetery,” He Yuzhu replied casually.

"What? The graveyard? I don't want to go!"

Du Weifang was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly and shook her head like a rattle drum.

"That's right, it's a graveyard. Think about it, everyone thinks it's a dark and scary place and doesn't dare to go near it, which is why they haven't been able to catch that person or find their hiding place."

Although He Yuzhu was only guessing at this point, he was already 70-80% certain that his idea was correct.

If even this small clue cannot lead to the truth, it can only mean that the opponent is too cunning and clever.

Although he already had a general direction and speculation in mind, He Yuzhu did not rush into anything.

If the real enemy was indeed lurking there, how could they suddenly leave without any warning?

At this moment, He Yuzhu had successfully completed the lessons he and Du Weifang had studied together for the day.

He calmly washed and tidied himself up, then changed into a black night-fighting outfit.

When everything was ready, I looked up and saw that the clock had quietly struck past two in the morning.

He deftly pushed open the window, then with a powerful push off the windowsill, his body shot out like an arrow.

Its speed was astonishing, as light and agile as a bird taking flight, landing steadily and smoothly on the rooftop opposite.

Immediately afterward, he vanished in a flash, covering dozens of meters at an astonishing speed. In just a few leaps, he landed gracefully in the eerie and silent graveyard like a ghost.

This was a cemetery, and each grave seemed particularly small and cramped. However, He Yuzhu did not linger here. He sped off towards the small hut on the hillside where the guards were located.

In the blink of an eye, he landed silently and steadily on the roof like a falling leaf. Then, he concealed his aura and slowly released his powerful spiritual energy to carefully examine the situation inside the house.

To his surprise, the bald middle-aged man was snoring loudly and soundly asleep inside the house.

Moreover, there was nothing unusual in the entire room, which was truly beyond He Yuzhu's expectations.

Could it be... that I was wrong? At this moment, such a thought couldn't help but cross He Yuzhu's mind.

He sighed deeply and turned to head home, but his gaze involuntarily fell once again on the densely packed, forest-like tombstones before him.

In that instant, a thought struck him. Since he was already here, why not search thoroughly again? With that in mind, he resolutely decided to launch a comprehensive and in-depth search operation.

He started with the tomb closest to him, carefully taking each step and meticulously examining every inch of the ground beneath his feet, not daring to miss any clue.

At the same time, he released his powerful mental energy, which, like a scanner, thoroughly scanned and explored the area.

He strongly suspected that some of these seemingly ordinary tombs might contain hidden chambers that could be secretly converted into secret basements by people with ulterior motives, so that they could conduct surveillance activities in secret.

Since such suspicions have arisen in my mind, I naturally need to verify them myself.

The cemetery covered a vast area, but his movements were exceptionally swift and agile.

He moved with lightning speed, darting between the tombs, easily covering an area of ​​tens of meters with each round trip.

He made three trips in a row, and it seemed he was about to thoroughly search the entire cemetery.

However, as time ticked by, the lack of any results began to shake his resolve, and he was on the verge of losing the will to continue the search.

Just when he was about to give up hope, suddenly his eyes lit up!

After careful observation, he discovered that the cemetery did not actually occupy the entire mountain. There was a section of steep and rugged mountain above the cemetery that was not included in the cemetery's boundaries.

And right inside that mountain peak, there was a cave hidden! The cave was not large, roughly estimated to be less than 10 square meters in total.

This place is slightly smaller than a typical single room, and its entrance is unusually narrow, almost completely hidden by dense weeds and clumps of trees.

Furthermore, it is not located within the cemetery grounds, and under normal circumstances, people would never easily cross the high fence of the cemetery to come here.

After all, who would willingly go to such a gloomy and terrifying place next to a cemetery for no reason?
