Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 224

Chen Xueru stood up, turned around and walked out.

Ye Qingxian let out a lewd and smug laugh: "Want to leave? No way! My men are everywhere, so you'd better just submit to me!"

The two families were old friends. Ye Qingxian had known Chen Xueru since he was a child and was captivated by her charm. He immediately sold off all his family property and could leave for Hong Kong in just a few days, never to return to this place.

He had felt a little regretful that he would never see his childhood sweetheart again, but he never expected that Chen Xueru would come to him right before he left.

Ye Qingxian was overjoyed, and then invited Chen Xueru to a private room at Songhelou Restaurant under the pretext of inviting her to a reunion. To prevent any accidents, he also brought a bodyguard.

It would be best if Chen Xueru complied; if she resisted, Ye Qingxian wouldn't mind knocking her unconscious and taking her back for their pleasure.

Then he reached out and grabbed Chen Xueru's wrist, saying, "Just give in to me, I'll take you to Hong Kong for a good time. That's where the bright lights and nightlife are perfect for us capitalists to do business."

"Let go of me, I'd rather die than stay with you."

Chen Xueru was now filled with regret. How could she have been so careless as not to have He Yuzhu by her side?

If this falls into Ye Qingxian's hands, wouldn't we be helpless and have no one to turn to? If he defiles our bodies, how will we ever face He Yuzhu again?

Chen Xueru suddenly felt a deep sense of despair. This time, she was going to lose her innocence. Even if He Yuzhu regained his face and dealt with them afterwards, her innocent body could never be regained.

He Yuzhu happened to see Ye Qingxian grabbing Chen Xueru's wrist, whose face was covered in frost. Chen Xueru was struggling violently. He was furious and rushed out of the private room.

Upon exiting, I saw a muscular man standing outside Ye Qingxian's private room. He had a lean face, sharp eyes, and looked quite intimidating.

He Yuzhu didn't think much and continued to charge forward, determined to rescue his woman even if it meant facing a thousand troops.

"Friend, you've taken the wrong turn." The bodyguard-like man reached out to stop him.

Without wasting words, He Yuzhu immediately used a grappling technique. The opponent was very agile, and just as he was about to be caught, the opponent flipped his hand and tried to grab He Yuzhu's arm instead.

"He's actually a trained fighter." The bodyguard was somewhat surprised.

In fact, He Yuzhu was also a little surprised at first, because he had never met anyone with a martial arts background since he started learning martial arts.

Sun Tie and his apprentices are not really considered real wrestlers; they all learned Mongolian wrestling, which didn't involve much practical combat skills. It was just a pastime for the Manchus to entertain themselves.

This was the first time He Yuzhu had fought against a martial artist, and he was instantly energized. Unfortunately, time did not allow for a quick victory, so he had no choice but to use all his skills.

He Yuzhu has already reached the Transformation Realm. Although he has not yet reached the peak, he has already mastered martial arts to an extremely high level.

Xingyiquan, Luohanquan, Liuhequan, Meihuaquan and other styles of moves were used in turn. At first, the opponent was somewhat dismissive, but in the blink of an eye, his expression became serious.

The bodyguards initially showed some skill, but after a few aggressive moves, He Yuzhu realized their level and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought he was a master, but after this test, I realized that he was only at the level of internal strength, while I was at the level of external strength, a whole level higher than him.

He Yuzhu suddenly changed his approach, no longer probing, and directly used his killing move, separating the bodyguard's arms, taking a step forward, and using his shoulder to ram into the bodyguard's chest.

At the same time, he gathered his energy and distributed it on his shoulders. The bodyguard did not expect the other party to suddenly change his move. He had always kept his distance to have enough time to react.

The sudden lunge caught the bodyguard off guard, who was struck in the chest and felt as if he had been hit by a truck, sending him flying through the air.

Its body flew high into the air and crashed into the door of the private room with a loud bang, knocking the door down.

The bodyguard coughed up blood and looked at He Yuzhu, who walked in after him, with some disbelief. To be able to release vital energy from the eight extraordinary meridians and distribute it on the shoulders was a skill that required breaking through the Dark Force realm and reaching the Transcendent Realm.

Even so, some still exclaimed in disbelief, "You're actually a master of the Transformation Realm?"

Ye Qingxian inside the room was stunned. This bodyguard was hired at great expense, but he never expected that he would be no match for the inconspicuous He Yuzhu.

Chen Xueru was the first to regain her senses and break free from Ye Qingxian's grasp. She hurriedly threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms and burst into tears.

If He Yuzhu hadn't arrived in time, my fate today would have been obvious; my body would have been ruined by Ye Qingxian.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu appeared in time, which saved her innocence. Instantly, her love for He Yuzhu reached a new level. From then on, she would obediently do whatever He Yuzhu asked her to do and would never throw a tantrum again.

He Yuzhu gently patted Chen Xueru's shoulder and whispered a few words of comfort.

The bodyguard next to him struggled to get up. He Yuzhu, with his keen eyes and ears, raised his foot and delivered a side kick to the bodyguard's stomach, sending him flying several meters away.

The private room was in the backyard of Songhelou Restaurant. At this moment, they could hear a commotion coming from the front, and many of the waiters wanted to come and check it out.

He Yuzhu knew that he was in an unfamiliar place and it wasn't his home turf, so the only solution was to act quickly and leave as soon as possible.

However, before leaving, he still wanted to collect some interest. After comforting Chen Xueru, He Yuzhu rushed directly towards Ye Qingxian.

"What are you doing? This is Communist Party territory, you can't do whatever you want."

When Ye Qingxian saw He Yuzhu approaching, he panicked and shouted, then picked up a chair as a weapon to try to stop He Yuzhu from getting closer.

He Yuzhu, too lazy to argue, simply used his energy to kick the chair to pieces, startling Ye Qingxian who didn't know what to do.

He Yuzhu leaned forward and slapped his chest hard with his right hand. A surge of vital energy flowed into his body and spread throughout his internal organs.

Indeed, as Ye Qingxian said, this is a new society now. Murderers pay with their lives, and those who injure others go to jail. This is, after all, Suzhou, not a place where He Yuzhu can wield power.

A surge of vital energy was sent into Ye Qingxian's body. It wouldn't directly kill him, but it would damage the functions of his internal organs, causing various ailments.

The kidneys are a particular area of ​​concern, as this could severely damage his bodily functions, rendering them unusable in the future.

He Yuzhu then pushed Ye Qingxian hard, causing her to fall onto the dining table and then to the ground, covered in various dishes and soups.

He Yuzhu pulled Chen Xueru and rushed out of the private room. Before the waiter arrived, they turned to the kitchen and, before the chefs could understand what was happening, opened the back door and rushed out.

At this moment, Chen Xueru suddenly said, "My shoe is broken."

He Yuzhu looked down at Chen Xueru's feet and saw that the heel of her shoe was broken and her ankle was injured, and it was swelling up.

He Yuzhu bent down, picked Chen Xueru up in his arms, and ran away from Songhelou.

Chen Xueru hugged He Yuzhu's neck, her heart filled with joy. She had finally escaped Ye Qingxian's clutches and would never again take risks and put herself in danger.

She tilted her chin up, kissed He Yuzhu on the cheek, and said with a smile, "It's so good to have you. You knew to save me at the crucial moment."

Then he asked, "By the way, how did you know I would be in danger?"

After running for a while, He Yuzhu felt that he had gotten far away from Songhelou. Ye Qingxian probably didn't have enough manpower to search for him, so he slowed down and walked slowly.

Then he told Chen Xueru everything he had found out.

"What? You mean Ye Qingxian is leaving?"

Ye Qingxian did mention going to Hong Kong to do business, but Chen Xueru thought it was just talk and he was trying to fool her. She didn't expect it to be true.

"Yes, it's all over the place, so it probably isn't fake."

Chen Xueru immediately felt annoyed. She had already paid half of the deposit, and Ye Qingxian wanted to leave Suzhou City. She didn't know if he had organized his supply of goods.

Moreover, the money has already been paid, but the goods have not yet been received. And with this incident tonight, what will become of this business? Won't it all be a complete loss and we won't get the goods?

You should know that this time she was doing business with Elena, and Chen Xueru had invested all her funds into this shipment, which was equivalent to the amount of goods she had purchased over the past few years.

How much money would we lose if something went wrong?

Chen Xueru expressed her concerns, and He Yuzhu comforted her, "Don't worry, there's still hope for this. There shouldn't be any major problems. If it doesn't work, we can go to the government."

After all, this is a new society. Ye Qingxian's desire to sell his property and run to Hong Kong would certainly not comply with the policies of his superiors. If Ye Qingxian were to act recklessly, He Yuzhu would not mind making the matter public and preventing him from leaving.

Chen Xueru hummed in agreement and hugged He Yuzhu tightly. Although the matter was serious, having a pillar of support made her feel incredibly relaxed and at ease.

Suddenly remembering her best friend Ye Qingmo, she said, "I think Qingmo might be under house arrest and doesn't actually have the plague."

"Yes, that's what I think too. I'll go check it out later and see if I can rescue her first."

The two exchanged opinions, and He Yuzhu carried Chen Xueru to a pharmacy where the doctor applied hot compresses to her swollen ankle. After nearly an hour of this, they finally hired a rickshaw to return to their hotel.

Upon arriving outside the room, He Yuzhu noticed that the door was unlocked. He peeked through a crack, realizing that it had been locked before he left. He quickly took two steps, pushed the door open, and took a look.

He Yuzhu was furious. The two suitcases, which were originally packed and locked, had been violently vandalized. Clothes were scattered everywhere, especially a lot of Chen Xueru's underwear, which was so conspicuous.

It's obvious that Ye Qingxian sent people to capture He Yuzhu and his companion, but they didn't see them. Perhaps they were still looking for the remaining payment, but He Yuzhu always kept important documents and money in his spatial storage, so the bank draft couldn't possibly be in his suitcase.

Even so, He Yuzhu was furious. He should have used more force when he slapped Ye Qingxian, and knocked him unconscious.

Chen Xueru tiptoed in and saw her underwear scattered everywhere. Her face turned red with anger, and she exclaimed, "How...how could this happen?"

"It must have been done by that guy surnamed Ye. We can't stay here anymore."

After comforting Chen Xueru, He Yuzhu found a hotel employee. Faced with the situation of the room door being pried open and luggage being thrown everywhere, he could only apologize.

He Yuzhu was too lazy to argue with them, so he quickly packed his things and left the hotel.

"What should we do now?" Chen Xueru was worried. After all, they were in a foreign place, and they were completely clueless when something happened. The fact that even the hotel had been ransacked meant that this was no ordinary dispute.

Chen Xueru knew, of course, that criminal gangs were involved.

He Yuzhu comforted him, "I'm here, there won't be any problems. Let's find a place to stay first."

I flagged down a rickshaw at random, walked a few streets, got off, walked a distance, and then changed to another rickshaw.

After changing cars three times, He Yuzhu's intuition told him that he had finally shaken off the tail.

However, He Yuzhu still didn't dare to stay in a hotel, so he found a courtyard for rent and rented it directly.

The landlady was an elderly widow, which put He Yuzhu at ease. He entrusted her to buy bedding and clothing, and the two had dinner in the room.

After finishing packing, Chen Xueru sighed, "I'm so glad you were with me this time, otherwise I would have been in big trouble."

He Yuzhu held her in his arms and said, "Silly girl, you are my woman. It is only right and proper for me to protect you. With me here, no one can hurt you."

"Mmm, it's so good to have you." Chen Xueru said and then gave him a kiss.

When she was out of breath, Chen Xueru finally brought up the Ye family's old house. She hadn't forgotten that her best friend's fate was still unknown.

Chen Xueru then said with some concern, "Why don't we just report it to the police? They definitely have guns."

He Yuzhu nodded. Of course he knew they had guns, but reporting it to the police was risky. Who knew if they had been bribed by Ye Qingxian? Although the possibility was slim, He Yuzhu didn't want to take the risk.
