Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

It was burned, so there would always be some ash left, but there was nothing inside. There can only be one conclusion: it was taken away by this group of people beforehand.

Soon, someone discovered that the group was from the Giant Bear Gang, which made Leonie, the leader of the Crimson Axe Gang, who had rushed over, stomp his feet in anger.

Then he ordered everyone to launch a retaliatory operation against the Bear Gang, seize his territory, and find his leader.

Heaven has mercy, it couldn't recognize that the leader of the Giant Bear Gang was among those charred corpses.

This was destined to be a sleepless night for both gangs, and a night of bloodshed and violence.

With the Giant Bear Gang caught off guard, the Crimson Axe Gang seized half of the Giant Bear Gang's territory. By daybreak, the Giant Bear Gang could not find its leader and all the high-ranking members, and the remaining members had no will to resist. Soon, all the territory was successfully taken over by the Crimson Axe Gang.

No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find the missing money. However, they did manage to acquire a lot of territory, so it was a case of losing one thing and gaining another.

As soon as it was light, Natasha opened her eyes and yelled, "You big bad guy! She's already begged for mercy, and you're still tormenting her!"

"You were the one who said not to stop."

“I clearly said no and stop,” Natasha said, rolling her eyes.

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Did I hear that wrong?"

"You're just pretending to be stupid." Natasha huffed as she got out of bed, took a shower, and rushed off to school.

He Yuzhu only took stock of his gains from the previous night after she left.

Gold and jewelry are hard currencies and cannot be sold. As for the US dollars and rubles, He Yuzhu counted them and found that their total value was close to one million rubles.

He was overjoyed. He had been doing business for several years and had never earned so much money. He never expected to earn so much cash in just one night.

It's true that a horse won't get fat without night grass, and a person won't get rich without unexpected wealth.

Should we go visit other gangs again tonight?

However, He Yuzhu quickly came to his senses. With such a big incident last night, other gangs might also feel threatened and strengthen their security, or hide their cash in a different place.

I shouldn't go again. This kind of windfall is one or two times, but not three. It's better to avoid being surrounded by a large group of people and shot at. Although it won't kill me, it will expose my ability to not be afraid of bullets.

I need to keep a low profile. My purpose in coming here is to rescue my cheap father-in-law.

During the day, they sold out all the supplies in the back warehouse, then closed the door and told the two temporary workers that all the goods were sold out.

Although they only worked for a few days, He Yuzhu still gave them a full month's wages, 30 rubles each, and then sent them away.

Plans can't keep up with changes. Originally, he wanted to sell some goods and exchange them for rubles to keep for Natasha, but he ended up making a million, so He Yuzhu became too lazy to stay in the small shop every day to do business.

That evening, he simply told Natasha that the goods he had brought in were sold out and the shop was closing down. She didn't say much, only that he should not be rude to her again that day.

In the days that followed, He Yuzhu spent his days wandering around, surveying the terrain, and preparing for the rescue.

Then I discovered that Russia's attitude towards scrap metal is completely different from that in China.

in the country, even a single nail or a piece of wire is used efficiently; no one wastes it.

Even broken scrap metal is collected and sold to recycling companies. These days, there's no such thing as scavenging for junk, because you can't find anything of value all day long.

But it's different in Moscow. Because of their high production volume, they directly use new steel for production and manufacturing.

People rarely reuse steel. The old machines that are recycled are simply disassembled, the usable parts are picked out, and the rest are piled up in the suburbs.

Instead of leaving it there, the recycled steel is exported to other countries within the federation because the recycled material does not meet their hardness standards.

Only some small countries use recycled steel to remelt and manufacture parts because they don't have enough steel production.

However, the labels produced in this way do not meet the standards, but it solves the problem of having or not having labels.

He Yuzhu saw a junkyard in the suburbs with scrapped vehicles, including tanks and armored vehicles, which gave him an idea.

Chapter 252 Prison Break

Domestic steel production has always been insufficient. By buying back these scrap steels and setting up a steel plant in the streets in 58, we could use small blast furnaces to produce rebar from these scrap steels, which would also solve the problem of that storm.

Of course, scrapped vehicles are very cheap. A 60 tractor with counterweight has a weight of 2.68 tons, and a 70 tractor with counterweight has a weight of 3.32 tons.

A scrapped 60 tractor can be bought for only 40 rubles, and a scrapped light tank weighing only 20 tons can be bought for only 350 rubles.

He Yuzhu bought all the vehicles and tanks at scrap metal prices.

After the boss leaves, I put it into my space. This place is far away from the boss's office, so I'm not afraid that they will notice anything unusual.

So He Yuzhu went to several places and bought a lot of scrapped vehicles and tanks, as well as some second-hand tractors that could still be driven, and other machinery.

They only stopped the large-scale acquisition when they had spent almost all the money they had.

Time flew by, and as the day Elena's father was about to return approached, He Yuzhu told Natasha in advance, "Darling, I have to leave."

"What?" Although Natasha had known this day would come, she was still very shocked when He Yuzhu actually said they were going to separate.

"Darling, can you please not leave?"

He Yuzhu shook his head, then hugged Natasha, who was already in tears, and gently patted her shoulder, saying, "I've already wasted a lot of time; it's time to leave."

Natasha wiped away her tears, reached down to unbutton her clothes, and said in a seductive voice:

“Darling, I want you to love me, no matter how rough you are, I will love you. Please love me well.”

For some reason, Natasha suddenly had enough tenacity to keep pestering He Yuzhu all night long, until she finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep when dawn broke.

He Yuzhu packed up, left 20,000 rubles, and then quietly left.

2 rubles may not sound like much, but it's equivalent to 30 years' salary for an average worker today, enough for Natasha to live a wealthy life.

After leaving, He Yuzhu did not go anywhere else, but returned to Elena's sealed-off residence.

Three days later, I saw in the newspaper that Elena’s father, Daniel, had been sentenced to 15 years in prison and imprisoned in the first prison in the suburbs.

Just as we had guessed, all these high-ranking officials and generals were imprisoned in this jail after committing crimes.

When night fell, He Yuzhu packed up all his belongings and headed towards the prison. He had previously considered intercepting the prison on the way, which would be much easier than rescuing people from inside the prison.

However, without any help, he had no way of knowing the exact route. Although rescuing people from prison would be much more difficult, it was the only option he could find.

They soon arrived outside the prison. Unlike ordinary units, the prison was brightly lit and heavily guarded. The patrols were conducted in pairs, with guns always on their backs, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

For ordinary people, without a well-organized team, it would be impossible to breach this heavily guarded prison.

However, He Yuzhu was highly skilled and daring, and did not think he could stay here.

After wandering around, they arrived at the back of the prison and then used their spatial abilities to flash from outside the wall into inside.

He stood against the wall for a second, then turned and went into the nearest room.

This place turned out to be a warehouse, piled high with brand-new clothes. He Yuzhu guessed that they must have been made by prisoners who used sewing machines every day.

After all, the detainees cannot be provided with food and drink for free; they also have to participate in labor, and these should be the fruits of their labor.

He Yuzhu poured gasoline on it and then set it on fire.

They then turned around and went into other rooms, setting fires everywhere. Soon, more than 20 buildings throughout the prison were on fire.

The prison guards were in a panic. Although they knew that someone had deliberately set the fire, they still had to organize people to put out the fire first, and then send people to search everywhere to try to find the arsonist.

He Yuzhu first successfully attracted a large number of people to fight the fire, and then rushed to the detention area.

Originally, there were two people on each post for guarding, but due to the unexpected situation, half of the internal guards were removed, leaving only one person to supervise.

In the warden's view, as long as the high walls and gates are strictly guarded, it wouldn't be a big problem to send some people out to put out the fire.

Even if something unexpected happens, they can be easily subdued as long as they are still inside the prison.

After all, fire is merciless; if it were allowed to spread, the entire prison would be burned down.

He Yuzhu slipped into the prison, then pounced on a guard, subduing him instantly. He then asked, "Where are the people who were brought in today kept?"

Looking at He Yuzhu, who was covered by a black hood with only his eyes showing, and feeling the muzzle of a gun pressed against his chin, he could only say, "He's locked up in Zone 3."

"Where is this? Which direction is District 3?"

"This is District 7, District 3 is over there." After finishing, he pointed southeast.

He Yuzhu didn't ask any more questions. He punched him unconscious, took the key from his waist, and then used the key to open the door of a cell, letting out the people imprisoned inside.

Before the men could figure out what was going on, He Yuzhu shoved the keys into their hands and handed them the prison guard's gun.

The group was overjoyed and thanked them profusely. They took the keys, opened the other rooms, rushed into the guard room, looted various weapons, and then went to open the other cells.

He Yuzhu suspected that the prison guard was lying to him, so he moved to another area and knocked out a second prison guard. He questioned him again and got the same answer.

They continued in the same manner: they obtained the keys, opened the cells, handed them guns, and let them rescue more prisoners themselves.

This place holds people sentenced to long prison terms, many of whom are in life imprisonment with no hope of getting out. They don't know why someone has come to rescue them.

However, the vast majority of them were still very excited. After they came out, they attacked the other guards with guns and rescued more people.

They collected guns and ammunition everywhere to arm themselves, and soon the prison was in chaos.

This also aligned with He Yuzhu's wishes; the more chaotic the situation, the more smoothly he could rescue the person.

Whether these people can escape successfully depends on their luck.

He Yuzhu quickly arrived at Zone 3, subdued the prison guards again, ascertained the situation, and obtained the key.

He opened a cell door and asked, "Is Daniel here?"

Everyone shook their heads, but He Yuzhu was not discouraged. He continued to open other rooms and soon got the information.

"I am Daniel Ivanovich Ivanov."
