Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 672

Before he could finish speaking, several spirited young nephews and nieces of the Liao family stepped forward, wanting to block Xu Qianshan's advance.

Unfortunately, they overestimated themselves and couldn't even withstand a single move from Xu Qianshan. They were easily captured and thrown out like trash.

At this moment, Xu Qianshan became even more arrogant, and he shouted loudly:

"I've been wandering the world in Nanyang for so many years, and the wealth I've accumulated is no less than yours! Liao Liewen, do you know what I truly want? I want to destroy your Liao family, to make all of Liao Baoshan's children suffer the fate of being separated from their wives and children, and to live a life worse than death!"

Upon hearing this, all the members of the Liao family present changed their expressions drastically, as if struck by lightning.

Originally, everyone thought that even if they were defeated by Zhang Zhentian this time, the worst that could happen was that they would sell their property, leave for another place, and seek a new path elsewhere. They would still have a chance to make a comeback.

But who would have thought that Xu Qianshan would be so ruthless, wanting to kill the entire Liao family.

However, the moment Xu Qianshan uttered those words, everyone present could feel the surging hatred deep within his heart, like a raging sea.

Clearly, this person is determined to completely wipe out the Liao family, leaving them no way out!

Upon hearing this, Liao Lieying felt dizzy and her body swayed violently, as if all her strength had been drained away in an instant. Her body went limp and slid down, about to fall off the chair to the ground.

At the critical moment, He Yuzhu, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and reached out to support Liao Lieying. He then carefully half-embraced her and gently placed her on the chair.

At this moment, Liao Liewen turned his head, stared directly at Councilor Chen, and said in a heavy but firm tone:

"We are willing to accept the consequences of our gamble, but we still hope that your authority can ensure that we can leave Hong Kong safely."

However, to everyone's great disappointment, Representative Chen did not give a clear guarantee as they had expected, but only responded in a lukewarm manner:

"Mr. Liao, please rest assured that your personal safety is naturally protected by law."

Upon hearing this, Liao Liewen's face grew increasingly gloomy and unpleasant. He knew very well how effective the so-called legal protection could be.

The councilor in front of me, Chen, has most likely accepted a huge bribe from the other party, so he probably doesn't care about the life or death of the Liao family.

Looking at Zhang Zhentian standing in the center of the field, he was clutching his chest with one hand, his face full of pain. He was caught in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward, and appeared extremely embarrassed and helpless.

Now that things have come to this, he knows that the current situation is entirely due to his inferior skills and inability to defeat his opponent.

Despite his best efforts, he ultimately could not save the Liao family's vast fortune.

Although he was lucky enough to save his life, he knew that his reputation was ruined and utterly disgraced.

Those companies that he once protected will likely soon fall under the protection of other martial artists.

Within a few days, they will surely terminate their cooperation with me without any mercy, and I will probably have to spend the rest of my days in gloom.

"Liao Liewen, you've made a bet, so hurry up and sign this document!"

Representative Chen eagerly pulled out a document he had prepared beforehand, which was an important document that the two sides had previously agreed upon.

As long as Liao Liewen obediently signs his name on it, that coveted piece of land will soon be in the hands of Hongfa Trading Company.

Liao Liewen's face was filled with endless bitterness. He slowly stretched out his trembling hand, as if using all his strength, towards the document.

Just then, a loud voice suddenly rang out:

"Wait! I haven't even made my appearance yet! This competition is far from over!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed at He Yuzhu, who had remained silent the entire time. The previously noisy scene fell completely silent, broken only by the soft patter of breathing.

"Who?"

Xu Qianshan's hearty laughter abruptly stopped, as if it had been suddenly cut off. His face instantly darkened, filled with displeasure and anger, and he turned his head away fiercely.

His gaze was sharp and unwavering, fixed directly on the direction where He Yuzhu was.

He Yuzhu sat quietly among the crowd, completely inconspicuous.

He was of medium height and had an unremarkable appearance. Dressed in simple clothes, he looked like an ordinary small business owner.

Before this, no one noticed his existence; everyone just regarded him as a passerby watching the excitement.

After all, judging from his appearance, He Yuzhu did not have obvious muscle definition, nor did he look as strong and imposing as those martial artists.

Seeing He Yuzhu's frail, scholarly appearance, Xu Qianshan couldn't help but laugh out loud again:

"Haha, is this guy an idiot? Look at his delicate skin, I reckon I could beat him to a pulp with just one punch!"

After saying that, he even waved his fist provocatively.

However, at that moment, Xu Qianshan suddenly frowned. He thought to himself:

How could such a seemingly foolish person appear at such an important occasion?

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be someone like this with no background or ability in a place like this...

Could this person really have some hidden strength? Thinking of this, Xu Qianshan couldn't help but put away his contempt.

You must know that he is a veteran who has been operating in Southeast Asia for many years. He has survived countless gunfights and bullets to gain a foothold in this treacherous world.

The reason he has survived to this day is not only because he possesses superb martial arts skills, but more importantly because he acts cautiously and is always careful, never underestimating any opponent.

Otherwise, it would have been like sailing a boat in a ditch, where a single misstep would have resulted in the boat being destroyed and everyone dying without a burial place.

Just then, Liao Lieying, who had been standing to the side, finally recovered from the shocking scene. She asked in astonishment:

"Mr. He, do you know what you just meant? You must know that person is a top-level expert who has reached the Great Perfection of Internal Energy!"

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he said:

"Could it be... could it be that Mr. Du has already returned?"

However, He Yuzhu gently shook his head and replied:

"Didn't I already tell you before? Mr. Du is still on the vast ocean and has not yet returned."

Upon hearing this, Liao Liewen hurriedly stepped forward, repeatedly cupping his hands in greeting and saying:

"Mr. He, thank you so much for your kindness, but things have come to this point, and I am willing to admit defeat. I dare not have any more expectations. Let's not create any more complications."

In fact, he knew very well that He Yuzhu's reason for standing up for the He family was entirely out of good intentions.

However, in this dog-eat-dog world where strength reigns supreme, only those with the strongest fists have the right to reason.

Although Zhang Zhenshan, whom they had invited, was ultimately defeated by his opponent, since he was inferior in skill, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

At the same time, Huo Yingdong, who was standing to the side, was also quite frightened. He quickly reached out and grabbed He Yuzhu's wrist, anxiously advising him:

"Mr. He, you should be careful with your words. At this moment, the best course of action is to ensure the safety of the Liao family."

Since they had already lost the competition, all they could do next was to find a way to back down and do everything in their power to ensure the safety of the Liao family.

He Yuzhu's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a confident smile, and he said softly:

"To be honest, I have been practicing dance since childhood and am a master in this art. Dealing with Xu Qianshan is a piece of cake for me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone nearby exclaimed in surprise:

"What? Mr. He, are you running a fever? How could you spout such nonsense!"

At this moment, Xu Qianshan was so angry that his face turned pale. He glared at He Yuzhu with wide eyes and roared:

"Treating me is a piece of cake for you? Hmph! What arrogance! You're utterly ignorant!"

Faced with Xu Qianshan's anger, He Yuzhu remained unfazed, slowly turning his head to meet Xu Qianshan's furious gaze head-on, and calmly replied:

"You're only at the Great Perfection of the Transformation Realm, why can't I say that? If your master were here in person, perhaps he would be qualified to exchange a few blows with me."

Ever since He Yuzhu painstakingly studied and comprehended the miraculous dual cultivation technique, he has practiced it day and night almost without rest.

Every day during his training, he could clearly feel a significant improvement in his own strength.

Especially recently, his progress has been astonishing, and he has already faintly touched the threshold of the peak of martial arts.

He firmly believed that it wouldn't be long before he could successfully break through to the peak of the Core Formation Realm, at which point he could attempt to reach an even higher level of cultivation.

However, when Xu Qianshan heard He Yuzhu's extremely arrogant and disdainful words, even though he was usually calm and honest, he could not suppress the raging anger burning in his heart.

Suddenly, he roared:

"You arrogant fool, you're practically courting death!"

With this roar, Xu Qianshan's aura suddenly exploded, and the surrounding air seemed to become heavy because of his anger.

Just then, the man squatted down slightly, his leg muscles tensed instantly, and then he pushed off with all his might, shooting towards He Yuzhu like an arrow.

Its speed was so fast that it was like a cannonball shooting out with a sharp momentum and an indomitable determination.

This arrogant young man not only looked down on him but also slandered his revered master.

You should know that his master is a martial arts grandmaster who is famous throughout the martial arts world and has already reached the realm of "embracing the elixir"!

Back then, he had personally witnessed his master's heroic figure in battle.

When facing a formidable foe, the master's moves are lightning-fast and his techniques are exquisite. He can often defeat his enemies with ease, turning them into nothingness without a trace.

Whether it was the warlord forces that lorded it over the Southeast Asia region or the well-equipped regular government army, they were all helpless against their master and could only sigh in despair.

For this reason, the master was renowned and influential throughout the martial arts world of Southeast Asia, holding an unshakeable and lofty position.

However, now, this hothead who suddenly appeared out of nowhere dares to so disrespectfully humiliate his master. He deserves to die and this is an outrage against heaven!

All that could be heard was Xu Qianshan clenching his teeth, squeezing out each harsh word from between them:

"I will twist your head off and use it as a football, then throw your mangled body into the vast ocean to feed those ferocious sharks!"
