Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 566 I Don't Do This

However, in sharp contrast to Xu Yunhai's flourishing glory and huge wealth is the completely different situation of his disciples.

The financial situation of his apprentices was not optimistic. They were very tight on money and often worried about the few pieces of silver.

They don't have much money at their disposal, and their lives are quite difficult. They are so tight on money that they want to spend every penny carefully.

Compared with the master's glory, they are so different that one can't help but sigh at the fickleness of fate.

Lin Wanting was born into a relatively wealthy family.

Both parents are well-known figures in the local area. In the social circle, they are cheerful and talkative, and make friends with celebrities from all walks of life. In the business field, they are adept at networking and have extensive connections and influence.

Although the family's business is not as huge as Xu Yunhai's, which is like a business empire with a strict organizational structure and extensive business layout, it is also wealthy and can be considered a well-off family with a worry-free life in the local area.

Because of this, her family spared no expense, using connections and personal resources, from high-ranking officials to heroes, and finally sent Lin Wanting to Xu Yunhai, allowing her to become his disciple.

In addition, they need to give Xu Yunhai a large sum of money every year as a sign of filial piety, which to put it bluntly is paying the so-called "protection fee."

Otherwise, considering Lin Wanting's own qualifications, it would be difficult for her to stand out among the many candidates who are vying for Xu Yunhai's apprenticeship and become Xu Yunhai's disciple.

After all, Xu Yunhai's standards for selecting disciples are extremely strict, just like selecting the most dazzling pearls among thousands of grains of sand. If there is no sufficient interest to drive it, it is difficult for ordinary people to catch his eye.

But Xu Changfeng's situation was completely different.

Xu Changfeng was born with a good material for martial arts. His bones were exquisite, as if God had carefully crafted him for martial arts.

He has a very high level of comprehension, and his understanding and comprehension of martial arts far exceeds that of ordinary people. Others may take months or even years to comprehend the secrets of martial arts, but he can grasp them in just a few days.

After just over a decade of hard practice, every day before dawn, when the first ray of light had not yet fully illuminated the earth, one could hear him rising up to practice martial art upon hearing the rooster crow. He never stopped, no matter whether it was extremely cold or hot, or windy, frost, rainy or snowy.

In the martial arts, his progress was astonishingly fast, like a rising star in the night sky, quickly coming to the fore and reaching the pinnacle of dark power.

This speed of progress certainly cannot be compared with that of some people who have risen rapidly as if by chance, such as He Yuzhu who has special opportunities.

But even so, to have achieved such achievements at only in his early twenties is already outstanding and quite remarkable among the younger generation.

Looking at the entire younger generation in the martial arts world, there are very few who can compare with him, as rare as a phoenix feather and a unicorn horn. He has begun to become famous in the martial arts world and is regarded by many as a martial arts genius. His future is promising.

Now, for Xu Changfeng, the next goal is to continue to carefully polish and refine the vital energy in his body.

Every day he would look for a quiet place to practice in seclusion, immersing himself in the world of martial arts, trying to break through the shackles of the circulation of vital energy in his body.

The place of seclusion is often a quiet cave in the deep mountains and forests, or deep in the valley where few people go. It is quiet and silent all around, with only the sound of wind and birds singing.

He sat there for days, forgetting the passage of time and focusing on the flow of vital energy in his body.

According to the normal development trend, if everything goes well, it will only take five years at most, or about three years at least, for him to successfully break through the current bottleneck and enter a higher level of realm.

Once he enters the realm of transformation, his status in the martial arts world will be completely different, and his strength will undergo a qualitative leap, from being an outstanding young warrior to becoming a top master in the martial arts world. At that time, he will surely create a wave in the martial arts world, attracting the attention of all forces, and become a respected existence in the world.

Unfortunately, the only drawback is that Xu Changfeng's family background is quite ordinary.

Both my parents are honest and ordinary people. They work hard every day and make a living on a meager income. Their life is very hard.

My father goes out early and comes back late every day, sweating in the fields, while my mother does housework at home, sewing and mending, and carefully managing the family's life.

With such family conditions, it was difficult for him to provide much material support in his martial arts training. They could neither buy him precious martial arts secrets nor provide him with high-quality medicinal materials to assist in his training.

Just after he arrived here on this mission to escort the goods, he was easily persuaded by the sweet words of Gao Laorong and others.

Gao Laorong and others knew that Xu Changfeng was in urgent need of money to improve his life, so they used generous rewards as bait, and talked about "jianghu justice", making up all kinds of seemingly high-sounding reasons, such as for the justice of the martial arts world and to fight against evil forces, but in fact they were all to satisfy their own selfish desires.

On impulse, Xu Changfeng decided to temporarily play the role of a killer.

He originally thought that with his advanced martial arts skills, it would be easy for him to complete the mission, as easy as taking something out of a bag. However, he never expected to fall into such a predicament. Now he is a prisoner, full of regret and self-blame for his impulsive behavior.

They had originally made a careful plan in advance: after the incident was accomplished, Xu Changfeng and Lin Wanting would quickly clean up the scene and pick up the pieces, using their rich experience and skillful techniques to erase all possible traces.

They are familiar with various techniques to cover their tracks, from removing footprints to destroying the tools used in the crime, and every step is arranged in an orderly manner.

Then evacuate this area as quickly as possible and return to Luzon.

They thought that by then there would be no evidence! Who would know who had done this?

In this way, they can easily stay out of it, as if everything has nothing to do with them, and continue to live their lives as before.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. They never expected that things would develop so unexpectedly. The appearance of He Yuzhu was like a sudden variable that completely disrupted their plans.

However, as the saying goes, "Man disposes, God disposes", fate always likes to play tricks on people.

What is unexpected is that these two people have now fallen into He Yuzhu's hands.

When facing the two assassins, He Yuzhu used sophisticated interrogation methods, using both soft and hard tactics. He first appealed to their emotions and tried to influence them with words so that they would voluntarily confess the truth.

He spoke earnestly, talked about the moral principles of the underworld and the correct path in life, trying to awaken their inner conscience.

Seeing that soft tactics didn't work, he resorted to tough measures, exerting pressure and making them feel fear.

His eyes were sharp and his voice was majestic, creating a strong sense of oppression for the two of them.

After a battle of wits and courage, he finally told Huo Yingdong the results of last night's interrogation in detail.

However, there was one thing he didn't say, which was that he successfully persuaded Lin Wanting and let her serve him for a whole night.

At this time, Lin Wanting was completely confused. She felt aggrieved and kept muttering to herself: I had clearly agreed to become He Yuzhu's woman, so why did I end up like this?

Not only was he severely tortured, but he was also tied up here.

Could this be the legendary "ruthless plucking of eagles"?

Thinking of this, a deep resentment towards He Yuzhu suddenly surged in her heart.

I hated him for deceiving me and taking away my body.

But at this moment, her whole body was tied up tightly, and a dirty rag was stuffed in her mouth, so she couldn't even speak.

Helplessly, she could only stare at He Yuzhu with eyes full of resentment. Those eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire, as if she wanted to cut him into pieces with her eyes. The anger in her heart was burning, but she had nowhere to vent.

On the other hand, Huo Yingdong did not show much surprise after hearing the news.

Because in his opinion, it was expected that Gao Laorong would send people to kill them.

After all, Ye Han has always tried to seize the other party's business, and the conflict of interests between the two sides has a long history and deep resentment.

Over the years, they have been fighting openly and covertly in the business battlefield, refusing to give in to each other, and every competition is full of gunpowder.

If you want to take the initiative and ensure that your interests are not harmed, the most direct and effective way is undoubtedly to eliminate competitors who may steal your business.

Sending someone to kill himself and He Yuzhu might indeed be a seemingly easy decision for some people.

However, they obviously underestimated He Yuzhu's true strength, so much so that they suffered a severe setback in the first confrontation and paid a heavy price. Not only did the mission fail, but they also lost two capable killers, which made them lose face in the underworld.

Although the logic behind this was easy to understand, at this moment Huo Yingdong was still filled with resentment and anger towards Gao Laorong and the others. He even wished he could immediately send top masters to catch them all in one fell swoop and completely eliminate them to prevent future troubles.

The anger in his heart was like a raging fire, and he wished he could burn the enemy to ashes immediately.

But he also knew that impulse could not solve the problem and that long-term planning was needed.

In this complex underworld and business competition, rash actions will only make the situation worse. We must think calmly and formulate a comprehensive response strategy.

He paced back and forth in the room, brow furrowed, thinking about every possible situation and response.

"So, what are your plans now?" Ho Ying-tung asked impatiently.

He was eager to know He Yuzhu's views on the current situation and his response plan. After all, He Yuzhu has always been resourceful and can always come up with clever ways to resolve crises at critical moments. His wisdom is also well-known in the world and is praised by many people.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and then replied, "We must not delay the bidding because of this assassination. It is best to stay put for now."

His eyes were firm, like the twinkling cold stars in the night sky, and his tone was steady, as if at this moment he had already seen through the development of the entire situation and was confident about the future direction.

Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu systematically explained to Ho Ying-tung his next plans.

It turned out that there were only two days left before the bidding deadline. At this critical moment, any delay caused by the assassination was absolutely not allowed.

This bid is of great importance as it concerns their future development layout in Haojing. Once successful, it will bring them huge business benefits and development opportunities. It is a key step for them to open up the Haojing market, and they must not lose the big picture for the small.

The interest chain behind this bid is intricate and complicated. Once they win the bid, they will occupy an important position in the business landscape of Haojing, gain huge profits and extensive network resources.

Fortunately, the women who are now in Xiangjiang’s home have all reached a state of perfection, and their skills are high enough to protect themselves.

They all have superb martial arts skills and are quite famous in the martial arts world. Relying on their own strong strength, they have carved out a place for themselves in the martial arts world.

Their martial arts have their own characteristics. Some are good at swordsmanship, their swords are as fast as dragons, with cold light flashing; some are good at boxing, their fists are whistling, fierce and powerful.

Just now, He Yuzhu had called home and repeatedly reminded them to be careful and ensure their own safety during this period.

During the phone call, He Yuzhu spoke earnestly and explained in detail various precautions, asking them to reduce going out as much as possible, strengthen security measures at home, and be vigilant to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation.

He urged them to always be alert, pay attention to the movements around them, and take immediate countermeasures if there are any unusual situations.

Since there was no need to worry about anything in the future, He Yuzhu made a prompt decision - he must change his residence.

After all, it is too dangerous to continue staying in this busy and mixed international hotel, and it is very likely to become the target of enemy attack again.

This international hotel is bustling with people coming and going every day, and the forces involved are complicated, including businessmen, tourists, gangsters, and all kinds of people with ulterior motives.

If the enemy wants to attack again, there will be many opportunities and it will be difficult to guard against. Here they are like being exposed to the enemy's guns and have no sense of security at all.

"It is indeed a wise move to change places. It is not difficult to find a villa even temporarily." Huo Yingdong nodded in agreement.

You know, Ye Han and others are veritable local tyrants in Haojiang, and the power behind them is enormous.

In this land, they have extensive connections and are well-informed. There is almost nothing they cannot accomplish. Finding a villa to stay in temporarily is just a piece of cake for them.

They have deep roots in the underworld and business circles of Macau and know all kinds of people, whether they are government officials or gang bosses, and they can have a say.
