Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Those who can enter this market are not ordinary people, and they cannot issue invoices.

However, some food items are subject to purchase restrictions, but handicrafts such as wool, silk, and embroidery are not.

He Yuzhu had plenty of money, so he started a big shopping spree, staying busy all day and spending tens of thousands of yuan, buying countless ethnic handicrafts.

Lou Xiao'e was fed again that evening, but she still couldn't step into the room.

The next morning, as soon as I stepped out of the room, I saw Lou Xiao'e walking out arm in arm with Lou Dong.

Lou Xiao'e changed her previous simple attire and wore a beautiful outfit today.

When Chairman Lou saw him come out, he greeted him.

He Yuzhu asked, "Did Chairman Lou go sightseeing today?"

"Yes, visiting the nearby attractions is a good way to make the trip. Shall we go together?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "I still have to go to the meeting with the big leader. Have a good time."

Lou Xiao'e snorted and urged Chairman Lou to walk out.

He Yuzhu could hear Chairman Lou muttering that his daughter was impolite. Lou Xiao'e turned around and glared at He Yuzhu angrily.

He Yuzhu shook his head with a wry smile. Lou Xiao'e, this beautiful flower, held too deep a prejudice against him, and the chance of picking her was very slim.

After a peaceful day, I returned to the hotel after dinner and waited for a while, but Lou Xiao'e did not come to knock on the door.

Upon reaching the balcony, He Yuzhu noticed that the lights in the two adjacent rooms were off. He wondered if Chairman Lou and Lou Xiao'e weren't coming back today.

Just as I was about to take a shower, there was a knock on the door. When I opened it, Secretary Wang said anxiously:

"Master He, something terrible has happened."

"whats the matter?"

“There were foreign businessmen who were kidnapped while they were traveling, as well as translators and Chairman Lou.”

"Huh?" He Yuzhu was extremely surprised; a kidnapping case had actually occurred.

He hurriedly went to the next room, where the senior leader explained the current situation directly.

The foreign businessman, named Said, was from the Middle East. He had gone sightseeing with Chairman Lou and Lou Xiao'e that day, but unexpectedly, he was kidnapped after having dinner out that evening.

Based on all the eyewitness accounts, it is possible that the other party took the hostages and fled to Hong Kong.

He Yuzhu asked, "Was it a kidnapping, but no extortion?"

The senior leader shook his head and said, "We guessed it was a kidnapping, but the other party didn't intend to extort money. We estimate that their target was Said, and Chairman Lou and his daughter were just incidental."

He Yuzhu had a bad feeling.

If the kidnapping is simply a ransom ploy, then Mr. Lou and Ms. Lou Xiao'e will be safe.

If the target is only this one man, Said, who came from the Middle East, then the lives of Lou Dong and Luo Xiao'e are in grave danger.

The other party might kill and discard them at a crucial moment, since they were initially seen as a burden.

Do you really expect these people to be kind enough to release them directly? That's impossible.

After the senior leader finished explaining the situation, he asked, "He Yuzhu, do you have the ability to save them?"

The high-ranking leader knew that He Yuzhu had reached the realm of Baodan, but he didn't know much about his specific abilities; he only knew that He was already a master of his time.

He Yuzhu said with some difficulty, "Saving people is no problem, but I don't know where to find people?"

Secretary Wang took out a map, pointed to a highway leading to Hong Kong, and said, "Based on the information gathered, the other party should be on this highway."

He Yuzhu asked, "Since you knew so much information, why couldn't you stop him?"

The top leader said, "The other party is a master; bullets didn't even hit him."

He Yuzhu immediately took it seriously and said, "It seems that the other party is really a master."

"Yes, quite a few soldiers suffered losses at the beginning, otherwise we would have captured them long ago."

He Yuzhu had never met a master of Chinese martial arts before. Zhang Guangming and Zhao Yuezhen had only just entered the realm of internal strength, barely at the beginner level.

This time, the opponent was able to dodge bullets and ignore the bullet attacks. It is possible that the opponent is a master of the Transformation Realm, or even a master of the Core Formation Realm like He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu wanted to meet even unrelated people, let alone the fact that the other party had kidnapped Chairman Lou and Lou Xiao'e.

"Is the news accurate?"

Secretary Wang said, "The information is reliable. The other side drove through the checkpoint, killing and injuring many people. Even if they change routes, they won't be too far away."

He Yuzhu nodded, asked about the time, and rushed through the checkpoint. Twenty minutes had already passed.

He Yuzhu put away the map and said, "I'll go rescue them right now."

He then rushed toward the balcony, intending to jump out.

Secretary Wang called out, "There's a motorcycle downstairs that's fully fueled."

He Yuzhu nodded, rushed out of the balcony, and landed directly in the yard. He quickly noticed a two-wheeled motorcycle that was already running, parked not far from the gate.

He Yuzhu quickly mounted the bike, stepped on the gas, and sped out of the yard.

"Can he handle it?" Secretary Wang asked with some concern.

The high-ranking leader rarely explained to him: "I just called the security bureau and asked them. In the entire city of Guangzhou, He Yuzhu is the only one who has reached the Core Formation stage. If he can't save the person, then the others are even less likely to succeed."

In a direct confrontation, sending out enough soldiers would be enough to defeat the enemy.

However, the other side had hostages, so there were too few people to go up and they couldn't take down the criminals at all.

Sending a large force into the fray and injuring the hostages would render the rescue operation a failure.

In this dilemma, sending out a top expert is the only correct choice.

He Yuzhu was driving his motorcycle, and fortunately there weren't many vehicles around at that time. He sped off in that direction.

They soon passed a checkpoint and saw that there was still a lot of blood on the ground that had not been cleaned up.

After passing the checkpoint, we entered the suburbs, and there were even fewer people along the way, except for abandoned motorcycles and bloodstains.

It seems they also sent other people to track them down, but all attempts failed.

No wonder I saw cars speeding back earlier; they were all carrying the wounded.

After navigating around one obstacle after another, He Yuzhu suddenly noticed a car in the middle of the road ahead, indicating that it had caught up with them.

Although the car is fast, it can't keep up with the speed of the motorcycle. He Yuzhu's super-high balance bar reacts quickly, allowing the motorcycle to keep traveling at its top speed.

At this moment, a person jumped off the car, ignoring the car's speed, and landed on the ground unharmed.

He Yuzhu stopped when he rode up to them.

"Kid, you've got guts. I've already sent quite a few men away, and you still dare to chase after me."

"Stop talking nonsense, he's just a piece of trash."

With a flick of his wrist, He Yuzhu sent a bullet flying from his hand.

He Yuzhu had previously discovered that the power of bullets fired from firearms was extremely limited.

It's not as powerful as a bullet that you throw with added energy.

Moreover, the bullets are thrown out at a faster speed.

Upon seeing He Yuzhu's actions, the other party looked at him with disdain, assuming it was a hidden weapon.

He noticed something was wrong in an instant, and a chilling sense of urgency washed over him, but it was too late.

By the time they tried to react, it was too late. The organizer's head exploded like a watermelon, turning into countless fragments.

The car suddenly stopped, making a screeching sound.

One of the women rushed out of the car, shouting someone's name. Then an elderly man in black got out of the car and, seemingly very slowly, grabbed the woman who had gone first.

In that instant, He Yuzhu recognized that the old man was the real master.

Chapter 339 Lou Xiao'e's Initiative

He Yuzhu also took this seriously. The old man in black's casual demeanor actually put a lot of pressure on He Yuzhu.

In the quiet, desolate countryside under the cover of night, there were no passing vehicles on the highway.

The two men stood in the middle of the road, locked in a tense standoff.

The old man in black said in broken Chinese, "Young man, you are very brave, but it's a pity you will never see the sun rise tomorrow."

He Yuzhu sneered, "Where did this trash come from, running wild on our territory?"

"You...you young brat, don't rely on your words. Today I'll show you what I'm capable of."

Without wasting words, He Yuzhu lunged forward. The two were more than 10 meters apart, but they arrived in an instant. He threw a punch, and the pressure in the air increased so much that it seemed as if he could tear the air apart.

He Yuzhu had never used his full power before, but today he truly unleashed it.

The old man in black was somewhat surprised, his face was very serious. He pushed with his palm, and his vital energy attached to it, blocking He Yuzhu's punch.

Following closely behind, He Yuzhu launched an offensive, his fists striking out with lightning speed.

The old man in black reacted swiftly, his movements as swift as the wind, avoiding the frontal attack while simultaneously unleashing a rapid palm strike in an attempt to counterattack.

He Yuzhu had already anticipated this and was well-prepared for the old man's counterattack.
