Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 632

Accompanied by a series of noisy footsteps, several gangsters dressed in brightly colored shirts and looking like hooligans swaggered in.

The leader had a malicious smile on his face and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Hey, that Russian guy's lying in the hospital groaning and moaning, have you made up your mind yet?"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately flew into a rage.

At the same time, he carefully placed Anna, whom he was holding tightly in his arms, into her mother's arms, afraid of hurting the child.

Immediately afterwards, he launched a flying kick, like lightning, at the thug who had just spoken.

The gangster clearly had no idea that He Yuzhu would dare to act so decisively, and didn't even have time to think about dodging.

He flew straight out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the road outside the door, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"You're practically asking for death!"

Seeing their leader suffer a sudden setback, the other four gangsters were instantly enraged.

They roared in unison, drawing gleaming machetes and sharp daggers from their waists, their faces contorted with malice, and lunged menacingly at He Yuzhu.

However, He Yuzhu's agility was far beyond what these petty thugs could imagine.

His body spun rapidly like a whirlwind, instantly dodging the several weapons that came slashing at him.

Then, seizing the opportunity, he kicked out again, sending another gangster flying with a scream, landing on the ground in a sorry state.

In the blink of an eye, He Yuzhu seized the opportunity to reach forward and grab the arm of another gangster with pinpoint accuracy.

Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he lifted the other person high as if picking up a chick, and then grabbed one of the person's legs and flung him away without any mercy.

Just then, a flash of cold light appeared, and an extremely sharp cleaver was already slashing down towards He Yuzhu's head.

Elena, who was standing nearby, was so frightened by what she saw that she couldn't help but cry out in alarm, "Watch out!"

He Yuzhu stared at the gleaming machete without changing his expression, feeling no fear whatsoever.

He took a step forward with unwavering composure, his movements swift and precise.

His right hand shot out like lightning, grabbing the other man's wrist that was holding the machete, and then twisted it with a sudden burst of force.

With a crisp "crack," the other party cried out in pain and released his grip, and the machete fell into He Yuzhu's hand.

Before the man could react, He Yuzhu's arm slammed into his chest like a hammer.

The blow was incredibly powerful, causing the man to scream in agony.

Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu turned to the side, using his shoulder as a support point, lifted the person high into the air, and then hurled him outwards.

The person flew out like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily to the ground.

At this moment, the remaining person was completely dumbfounded and could hardly believe what was happening in front of him.

How did I end up all alone in the blink of an eye?

However, He Yuzhu wouldn't give him any time to think.

He Yuzhu flashed forward and instantly closed in, delivering two powerful punches with both hands.

These two punches were like thunderbolts, making the man see stars and fall to the ground with a thud.

Then, He Yuzhu reached out and picked him up, striding outside.

At that moment, the guy who had been thrown out earlier was struggling to get up from the ground.

Without any mercy, He Yuzhu swung his arm and used the person in his hand as a weapon to smash the gangster who had just gotten up.

The two of them immediately fell to the ground again, rolling around in a heap.

At this moment, a large crowd of onlookers had already gathered on the street.

They were either stunned or whispering among themselves, discussing the sudden fight.

He Yuzhu knew that he could not easily take someone's life in front of everyone, so he simply stood there quietly and did not continue to attack.

After a while, the five thugs finally managed to get up one after another.

They were all covered in dust and looked disheveled, their weapons, which they had been holding tightly, now nowhere to be found.

Despite this, these people still refused to give up, glaring fiercely at He Yuzhu and uttering a harsh threat:

"You just wait, you brat!"

He Yuzhu remained calm and replied with a slight smile, "I'm always ready."

Seeing the group of thugs supporting each other and stumbling away from the scene, He Yuzhu turned around and went back into the house.

Elena, her face filled with worry, hurried to He Yuzhu's side and said in an urgent and concerned tone:

"Darling, I know you are very skilled, but there are many of them! You must be extra careful."

Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry and unease.

Hearing Elena's words, He Yuzhu's lips curled into a confident smile as he comforted her:

"Don't worry, baby. These so-called gangsters are just paper tigers, there's nothing to be afraid of."

After saying that, Elena gently closed the door and led He Yuzhu upstairs.

As soon as they stepped onto the stairs, they heard Daniel calling Elena's name coming from one of the rooms.

Without hesitation, He Yuzhu walked straight to the room, pushed hard, and the door opened with a thud.

Daniel was lying on the hospital bed, his left leg wrapped in thick bandages, looking somewhat haggard and weak.

When he saw He Yuzhu appear at the door, his eyes widened instantly, his face filled with astonishment, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"What... why did you suddenly come here?" Daniel stammered.

He Yuzhu walked quickly to the bedside, bent down to carefully examine the injury on Daniel's leg, frowned slightly, and said softly:

"Daniel, you've really suffered."

Then, he straightened up, looked firmly at Daniel, and solemnly promised:

"Don't worry, this matter will definitely not be left so easily!"

Daniel was well aware of He Yuzhu's capabilities; it was thanks to He Yuzhu's help that he was able to successfully escape from that dark and hopeless prison.

Therefore, he believed He Yuzhu's words without a doubt.

"With your words, I feel much more at ease. Alas, Hong Kong is just too chaotic, full of people who bully the weak and oppress the kind. We here are not as well off as those Chinese who can look out for each other and stick together for warmth."

Daniel sighed helplessly, his words revealing his dissatisfaction and resentment with the current situation.

He does have a considerable amount of money, but his daily social engagements and expenses have depleted it all, and he even gives out more money than others when it comes to wedding gifts.

At this moment, He Yuzhu suggested:

"You shouldn't continue operating this shop. I have other businesses in Wan Chai. Why don't you move there?"

Upon hearing this, Elena looked worried and asked hesitantly, "Is...is this really okay?"

It should be noted that He Yuzhu had only been here for a short time, and she had not yet had time to ask about many details.

Elena was especially worried, fearing that He Yuzhu would bring his legitimate wife along.

After all, she was nothing more than a concubine he kept outside, and even though she had given birth to a child for him, it was just a girl.

Before this, Elena had been worried that He Yuzhu would be dissatisfied with her and despise her for this reason, thinking that she had failed to give birth to a son to carry on the family line.

If we were to go there rashly, would it be to pay our respects to that eldest sister?

Thinking of this, Elena felt her heart leap into her throat.

Fortunately, at that moment, words of comfort came from the other party:

"Don't worry, there's no one else there, just your two younger sisters."

Upon hearing this, Elena's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down a little. After letting out a long sigh of relief, she said:

"Okay, in that case, I'm willing to move there."

It has been many years since Elena was separated from her family. Time flies, and she naturally worries that the deep feelings she once shared may have faded with the passage of time.

Moreover, I am getting older now and am no longer as radiant and beautiful as I was in my youth. I feel that my appearance is no longer as charming and beautiful as it used to be.

When she saw He Yuzhu again, she had already made up her mind that she would never go against any decision he made.

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, then walked out the door and briefly introduced the Du Weixiang and Du Weifang sisters to Elena.

Afterwards, they started packing their luggage together, because since they had decided to move, the sooner the better, and ideally they could move to their new place today.

After all, you never know when those vicious gangsters might suddenly come knocking on your door to cause trouble again.

At this time, although He Yuzhu had some money, his influence was very limited, and he only had some influence in the northern part of Wan Chai.

However, people in other places mostly only knew of the existence of Du Guanghe, but knew very little about He Yuzhu.

Just as the two were busy tidying up, suddenly, a series of loud and rapid banging sounds came from downstairs.

He Yuzhu's heart tightened, and he quickly walked to the window facing the street, carefully pushed the window open a crack, and peered down.

It wouldn't matter if he didn't look at it, but once he did, he couldn't help but gasp.

Downstairs, there were twenty or thirty thugs wielding gleaming machetes. These guys were all excited, their eyes wide with anger, and they kept shouting all sorts of foul language.

Several people were using all their skills to try and pry open the tightly closed lock on the door.
