Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 625

Instead, there was a face that seemed to be completely covered by the frost of winter, so cold that it made people shudder. There was a cold light flashing in those sharp eyes, as if they could see through all the conspiracies and tricks.

He tilted his head slightly, his voice cold, as if squeezed out from between his teeth, and asked, "So, just because of such a flimsy reason, you can send someone to assassinate me? This reason is too far-fetched. Do you think I, He Yuzhu, am a three-year-old child who can be fooled so easily?"

At this moment, Zhao Yunhai no longer had any of the arrogance he had in the past when he was dominating the martial arts world.

In the past, he traveled the world with the cold flash of the sharp blade on his waist. Wherever he went, everyone had to give way to him. His majestic aura seemed to be able to change the situation.

But now, facing He Yuzhu's thunderous questioning, he was like a rooster that was completely defeated in a fierce fight.

Her hair was disheveled, with a few strands of hair hanging messily beside her cheeks. Her clothes were covered in wrinkles and dust, like fallen leaves ravaged by a strong wind.

He could only lie obediently on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, his teeth clenched, not daring to make a sound, just like a frightened quail.

The former prestige that had terrified his opponents had now vanished like a dream, disappearing without a trace, leaving only this extremely destitute appearance.

When Zhao Yunhai heard this, he was like a cat whose tail was suddenly stepped on. All the hair on his body stood up instantly and he jumped up from his seat.

His eyes widened, his face filled with panic and anxiety, as he loudly retorted, "I never ordered them to kill you! God and heaven are my conscience, I only wanted them to save my apprentice, how could such a sudden change occur?"

"I had hoped they could successfully bring their apprentice to safety, reuniting master and apprentice to enjoy a happy family. Who could have foreseen this? Something must have gone wrong, there must have been a misunderstanding!"

His voice was trembling with undisguised panic, and as he spoke, he waved his hands in the air, as if trying to grab something to prove his innocence, trying to justify his actions.

However, He Yuzhu did not respond at all. The aura around him was like a deep and quiet lake, without any ripples.

He just stood there quietly, staring straight at Zhao Yunhai with a deep and meaningful gaze.

That gaze was like a materialized sharp arrow, and it seemed to have the magical power to see through everything. It could easily strip off all of Zhao Yunhai's disguises and see straight through his soul.

Under such gazes, Zhao Yunhai suddenly felt as if a thorn was on his back. Every inch of his skin seemed to be crawling with dense ants, itching unbearably but unable to get rid of them.

At first, he pretended to be calm, raised his head slightly, and tried to look back fearlessly, but as time passed quietly, this silent gaze became heavier and heavier, making him breathless.

His cheeks began to flush uncontrollably, spreading from his neck all the way to his ears, as red as a ripe tomato, as if He Yuzhu had already seen through the deepest secrets in his heart that he could not reveal, making him feel ashamed.

Zhao Yunhai was clear in his mind. This was the critical moment when he had to make his attitude clear.

He looked up and saw his son's eyes full of expectation and worry, and he also caught a glimpse of the confusion and puzzlement in his apprentice's eyes.

To humble himself and declare surrender in front of these two closest relatives was like having a huge rock weighing tens of millions of pounds pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to speak after competing in the martial arts world for more than forty years.

Looking back on the past, he entered the martial arts world at the age of twenty, and struggled all the way, experiencing countless bloody battles.

He once single-handedly broke into a mountain stronghold occupied by bandits and fought his way out amidst a chaos of swords; he also turned the tide at a martial arts conference where various factions were fighting, and became famous.

During those years, he conquered countless heroes with his extraordinary martial arts and extraordinary courage, becoming a feared figure in the world.

But now, time is merciless, his temples are already gray, and he thought he could handle everything in the martial arts world with ease, but unexpectedly, he was defeated by a young man who looked less than 30 years old.

In front of so many people, this failure seemed particularly glaring, making him feel extremely ashamed. His heart was filled with resentment and anger, but he knew that he was powerless to change the situation. This feeling was too bitter and too hard for him to accept.

Zhao Yunhai felt as if he had a heavy burden on his heart, and a fierce struggle was surging in his heart, just like a surging wave constantly hitting the embankment of his heart.

His eyes were filled with resentment and pain, his teeth were clenched, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly due to the complex emotions. Every inch of his facial muscles seemed to tell of the torment in his heart.

After a long silence, he finally spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling slightly, "Mr. He, I... I surrender. You can do whatever you want to me, kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to lose all his strength in an instant, his back slightly bent, and he seemed to have aged ten years at this moment. His former high spirits completely disappeared, leaving only a heart full of dejection and helplessness.

Hearing these words, He Yuzhu's tense expression finally relaxed, and a satisfied smile slowly appeared on his face.

In that smile, pride and joy were intertwined, just like the joy of a battle-hardened general who witnessed the enemy's defeat.

He walked forward with steady steps, neither hurried nor slow, each step being firm and powerful.

When he stretched out his hand, his movements were as gentle as the spring breeze blowing across the lake, yet he exuded an unquestionable powerful aura.

With his fingertips touching the restraints on Zhao Yunhai's dantian, He Yuzhu exerted a little force and untied the shackles of power that bound the father and son, allowing them to regain their freedom.

He Yuzhu's confidence is not due to blind arrogance.

Before this, he had already tested it secretly without making any noise.

In that seemingly calm test, he keenly sensed that even if Zhao Yunhai and his son joined hands and fought with all their might, in front of his profound and powerful strength, they would be like two mantises waving their thin arms in an attempt to block the wheel. They could not cause any waves at all and were definitely no match for him.

If the opponent remains stubborn and oblivious to the tense situation around him, and completely ignores the hissing of the air caused by the sword energy.

At this critical moment, he still tried to fight back stubbornly. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He suddenly gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands and exerted force with his feet, trying to make a last-ditch effort and launch another fierce resistance.

Then, even a kind-hearted person like He Yuzhu would probably not tolerate such a situation to continue.

After all, human patience is not endless, and He Yuzhu's patience has long been worn to the limit in this dispute.

At that time, a cold light flashed in He Yuzhu's eyes, and without any hesitation in his heart, he attacked again without thinking or hesitation.

He suddenly kicked the ground with both feet, and his body moved instantly like a ghost. The aura around him was like a lit gunpowder barrel, bursting out violently in an instant, like a black lightning wrapped in endless power, rushing towards the opponent rapidly.

The speed of his attacks was as fast as thunder, and his moves were extremely fierce and sharp. Every move contained the power to split mountains and crack rocks, leaving people no time to react.

In that fleeting moment, the surrounding air seemed unable to withstand the domineering impact of his fist and was torn apart, making a sharp "whoosh" sound, like the cry of a night owl, breaking the silence.

He Yuzhu has already made up his mind to die. This time he must kill them in one fell swoop to completely eliminate the trouble and avoid any more incidents in the future, so that he and the people he cares about can live in peace.

Faced with such an outcome, Lin Wanting's heart was in turmoil, and a myriad of thoughts were tangled like a tangled mess.

She bit her lower lip tightly, her teeth almost sinking into the tender skin, and her heart was filled with resentment and regret.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. All of this is the bitter fruit sown by the other party himself, and no one else can be blamed.

She sighed helplessly, and the breath in her chest seemed to carry endless disappointment as she slowly exhaled.

Then, she shook her head gently, and the ends of her hair swayed slightly. A complex look flashed across her eyes for a moment. It was a mixture of pity, emotion and relief, and finally turned into an indescribable melancholy.

However, what no one expected was that Zhao Yunhai and Zhao Yaojie, the father and son, were as honest as eggplants hit by frost at this moment.

They sat there side by side, their backs slightly hunched, their bodies subconsciously leaning forward, their hands resting awkwardly on their knees, rubbing each other uncomfortably.

Zhao Yunhai was the first to break the silence. His voice was slightly hoarse, yet it shone with undeniable sincerity: "Well, we're willing to accept defeat. In today's competition, we were indeed inferior in skill, and we admit defeat."

After saying this, he raised his head slightly, his eyes full of calmness.

Seeing this, Zhao Yaojie nodded in agreement hurriedly, his head pounding like garlic: "That's right, Dad is right, we admit defeat and are convinced!"

They looked so anxious, afraid that others would question their sincerity in admitting defeat.

Seeing their submissive attitude, He Yuzhu's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little like a slowly loosened bowstring.

He took a deep breath, and the restlessly beating heart in his chest gradually calmed down a little.

The corners of his lips, which had been tightly pursed, rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and his originally sharp eyes became gentle.

He coughed lightly and spoke in a soothing tone, "Don't worry too much. I, He Yuzhu, have always been clear about gratitude and grudges, and I don't tolerate any injustice. Since you've already admitted defeat today, I naturally won't take any adverse actions against you. We'll see each other again in the future, so there's no need to make things too extreme."

Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu's originally casual attitude suddenly straightened up and the tone of the subject suddenly changed.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a glimmer of shrewdness flashed across his eyes like lightning, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"I'm involved in a wide range of business in Hong Kong." He paused slightly, leaned forward, and placed his hands on the table. "From now on, please sell all the sugar you produce here to me."

Although his voice was not loud, it was exceptionally clear in this slightly quiet room where you could hear a pin drop. Every word seemed to carry a tremendous amount of force, with unquestionable toughness and decisiveness.

Upon hearing this request, Zhao Yunhai and Zhao Yaojie's eyes met. The moment they looked at each other, their minds started working rapidly like precision instruments.

At that time, Hong Kong's business landscape was complex and delicate, and their past sugar business had long relied on Gao Kening's stable channel.

Southeast Asia is a vast land with abundant resources. Rubber, spices, sugar and other goods are produced in an endless stream. The Hong Kong River, as the shining pearl of Far East trade, is a prosperous hub through which many goods must pass.

Gao Kening, as the helmsman of one of the four most famous families in Hong Kong, has a family power deeply rooted in this land. From dock shipping to market shops, from financial credit to real estate development, its tentacles are everywhere, and its influence spreads like ripples, penetrating into every texture of Hong Kong.

Just like Fu Laorong, who is also one of the four major families in Hong Kong, his family businesses are intertwined and he is a key figure who can influence the direction of the market.

After thinking about this, Zhao Yunhai and Zhao Yaojie quickly realized that complying with this request would not cause any substantial damage to their own business.

It is worth mentioning that He Hongshen is a very important figure in the business community of Macau. His business influence is like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread out.

His main business empire is firmly rooted in Haojing. With his keen market insight and decisive decision-making ability, he has established a solid foothold in the Haojing business circle.

Across the sea in Hong Kong, he also owns a considerable family business, like a shining star in the night sky of Hong Kong's business world.

In that turbulent and uncertain era, business competition was as fierce as a war without the smoke of gunpowder, with various forces fighting openly and secretly, and one rising while the other fell.

However, He Hongshen was able to overcome numerous obstacles and gain a foothold in different regions. The hardships and difficulties involved are unimaginable to ordinary people, which shows his extraordinary means and outstanding vision.

1966 was a highlight and a milestone in his business career that deserves special mention.

At that time, Hong Kong's economy was in a critical period of vigorous development and all industries were waiting to be developed. The small hilltop of Repulse Bay No. 1, as a prime location, attracted countless business tycoons.

He Hongshen seized the opportunity, spent a huge amount of money, and made a decisive move to purchase the land in one fell swoop.

Settle down in this prosperous area of ​​Hong Kong where every inch of land is worth a fortune.

This move was like dropping a bombshell in the business world. It not only demonstrated his strong financial resources and made everyone marvel at his wealth, but also powerfully declared to the outside world his influence in Hong Kong. It was like setting up a bright banner in the business world, making no one dare to underestimate his position in Hong Kong.

On the other hand, Gao Kening's family has passed away. After the departure of this man who once called the shots in the business world, although the entire Gao family still maintains its past glory on the surface and the family name has not changed, there are actually undercurrents within the family, and many problems have emerged like mushrooms after rain.
