Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 225

With a flick of his wrist, a pistol appeared in He Yuzhu's hand, and he said, "They have one, and so do I!"

When did you get the gun?

Chen Xueru was quite surprised. The checks when boarding the train were very strict, and Chen Xueru was certain that He Yuzhu did not bring any guns on board.

He Yuzhu smiled mischievously and said, "I have a gun on me, and you've used it before, haven't you?"

Chapter 167

"Pah, you rascal, I'm talking to you about serious matters!" Chen Xueru angrily reached out and grabbed a handful.

He Yuzhu quickly said, "Stop messing around. Wait until I rescue your best friend, then you can play with guns and shoot targets."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes, put down the long gun in her hand, and instructed, "You have to be careful. If things don't look right, we should go find the police first."

"Yes, I know. Don't open the door if anyone knocks."

"Okay, I know. You must be careful and not do anything reckless."

He Yuzhu was delayed for a long time before finally coming out of the small courtyard. He managed to flag down a rickshaw, but of course, it didn't go directly to the Ye family's old house.

Instead, they got off the bus nearby and, taking advantage of the dim moonlight, went outside the old house.

With his mental powers, He Yuzhu moved through the wall as if he were in an empty place, and arrived at the back garden. Although there were guards, He Yuzhu easily evaded the patrolmen.

In the study, Ye Qingxian was discussing matters with someone.

“You acted impulsively this time. Those are outsiders. Why did you provoke them? Now you've ruined our plans.”

Ye Qingxian said awkwardly, "Xue Ru has always disliked me. The two families wanted to arrange a marriage before, but her grandfather refused. Besides, I didn't expect that guy surnamed He to be so skilled. Even A-Chang is no match for him."

"Sigh, since things have come to this point, we need to hurry up and leave as soon as possible."

“But I’m not reconciled. Why does Chen Xueru look down on me? I’m not convinced. Besides, things haven’t gotten to the worst point yet. At most, they’ll go to the police to report it, but we have people who can take care of them.”

These words startled He Yuzhu, who was outside, but thankfully he didn't immediately go to the police.

If they fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, and they frame He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru, then even if it's just mud in their pants, it'll still be a problem.

He Yuzhu was thankful that he had sneaked in and overheard their conversation; otherwise, he would have been utterly defeated this time.

Then He Yuzhu was extremely angry. After transmigrating, his development had been smooth sailing. Although there were some obstacles and hardships along the way, he had easily overcome them.

The people living in the courtyard houses are mostly ordinary folks. Although they may be somewhat calculating, it's all within an acceptable range. At most, they might cause you some unpleasantness, but there's no fundamental conflict like a life-or-death struggle.

But this time, Ye Qingxian was different. The two had no relationship, and Ye Qingxian wanted to kill him in order to get Chen Xueru.

Given Ye Qingxian's temperament, Chen Xueru won't fare well in his hands; it's nothing more than revenge for her previous disrespect towards him.

It's like having a toy you could never have as a child, and then wanting to have it once you have the ability.

It's not that I have any particular emotional attachment to the toy, but rather a sense of satisfaction from having something that I never had.

He Yuzhu hid under the window, listened to everything that had happened, thought it through, and made up his mind that he would not let them get away with it this time.

Since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have the ability to retaliate while they were here. But who made He Yuzhu have a special ability to move, collect, and store items within a 10-meter range!

He hadn't used this tactic on the neighbors in the courtyard house before, but now He Yuzhu used it recklessly.

However, in order to avoid others noticing anything unusual, He Yuzhu did not put any strange or unusual things directly into their stomachs.

Instead, he took out a bottle of industrial alcohol with an alcohol content of over 90 degrees from his spatial storage, cut it in two, and sent a portion of the alcohol into the stomachs of Ye Qingxian and another person in the room.

After finishing this, He Yuzhu immediately hid in a corner, waiting to watch the show.

Let alone industrial alcohol, even ordinary high-proof liquor, many southerners don't even drink half a jin (250ml).

The half-pound of industrial alcohol that entered my stomach immediately caused severe irritation to my intestines and intestines, sending the strongest warning signal to my body.

Ye Qingxian felt his stomach churning violently, and his face instantly turned red and purple. He lay on the ground clutching his stomach and groaning in pain.

The other person, who had a slightly higher alcohol tolerance, didn't react as strongly and rushed over to ask what was wrong, but Ye Qingxian was already in so much pain that she couldn't make a sound.

He immediately opened the door to let the guards in, and at that moment he realized something was wrong; his stomach suddenly started to hurt violently.

He knelt on one knee, then clutched his stomach and slumped to one side, wailing loudly.

The servants were startled, and the whole courtyard was in chaos. Everyone was alerted, and they quickly prepared a vehicle, hurriedly lifting the two people onto it. Most of the people then followed on bicycles to escort them.

Almost all the outsiders in the old house had left, leaving only two or three elderly people and women to guard it.

He Yuzhu then returned to the study. Since they had done such a thing, they might as well break off all pretense of civility, and He Yuzhu became completely uninhibited.

With a thought, he opened the safe in the room, which contained a lot of gold and silver jewelry, as well as some ledgers and IOUs.

He Yuzhu tore off a curtain, then wrapped all these things into a bundle and carried it in his hand.

Then he went out the window and walked into the backyard.

Soon they arrived at the outside of a side room. He Yuzhu was initially pleasantly surprised to find the young lady Ye Qingmo, but then his expression turned strange. He hadn't expected the scene inside to be different from what he had imagined.

Sighing, He Yuzhu thought to himself, "This isn't my fault. You were the one who wasn't wearing clothes. I just happened to see it."

Given the current situation, He Yuzhu had no choice but to bite the bullet and climb in through the window. Just as he put down his package, a beautiful woman wearing only shorts walked out from behind the screen.

When we were scanning just now, He Yuzhu was acting very strangely. There wasn't a single piece of clothing or any other fabric in the entire room.

Ye Qingmo was only wearing underwear, without even a bra or a small undergarment, and was walking around indoors in just that bare clothing.

There were no sheets or blankets on the bed, only a quilt and a pillow. Fortunately, the temperature was already quite high, so even if you were naked, you wouldn't catch a cold.

He Yuzhu guessed that this was probably because they were afraid Ye Qingmo would run away, so that she wouldn't be able to escape even if she wanted to.

Moreover, there's a woman guarding the side room, so she can hear any slight movement here.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to bite the bullet and climb in. Ye Qingmo was stunned. She hadn't expected that she would find an unfamiliar young man in front of her after she had just come out from behind the screen to relieve herself.

Wouldn't my body be completely exposed?

Judging from their clothes, they're not from the manor, and they're carrying a package. Could they be heroes from Liangshan trying to rob the rich to help the poor?

But how did it end up in the room where I'm being held?

There was nothing in this room except for quilts.

But she wasn't a hooligan or an exhibitionist woman; it's just that all her clothes had been taken away.

Ye Qingmo was so ashamed that she wanted to cry. She quickly covered her chest with one hand and was about to shout for help when He Yuzhu leaned in and subdued her in the blink of an eye. Her mouth was also covered so she couldn't make a sound.

He Yuzhu held Ye Qingmo in his arms, one hand covering her cherry-like mouth, the other restraining her arms, and whispered in her ear:

"I am Chen Xueru's friend, and I'm here to rescue you."

Just as Ye Qingmo was about to kick over the screen, he heard Chen Xueru's name.

Outsiders would never know that Chen Xueru and I are close friends, having been friends for many years.

She immediately became obedient, nodded, stopped struggling, and then, feeling so shy, wished there was a crack in the ground so she could crawl right into it.

If this were truly a thief, at most the other party would see him, but then they would never see him again and there would be no further contact.

But the man who just saw me naked was someone Chen Xueru invited to rescue me. Does that mean we'll be seeing each other all the time?

She was wearing only underwear, but nothing else, especially her large breasts, which were exposed to him, and because of the position, he held her down in his hands.

He Yuzhu knew that the two of them were in a very awkward situation. Fortunately, Ye Qingmo also knew that He Yuzhu had come to rescue her, so she let go of the embrace.

Ye Qingmo quickly climbed onto the bed, pulled the thin quilt over herself, wrapped herself up tightly, and only poked her little head out.

Ye Qingmo, whose face was already as red as a big apple, asked shyly, "Are you Xue Ru's friend? When did you arrive?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the side room, indicating that there were people over there and that they shouldn't speak loudly.

He Yuzhu nodded, came over and sat on the stool by the bed, and said, "Chen Xueru came to buy goods and heard that you had contracted the plague. She felt something was wrong and after inquiring, she found out that you were being held captive in the old house, so she asked me to come and rescue you."

"Thank God, I didn't expect there would be a chance for me, but how are you going to take me away?"

Instead of answering the question first, He Yuzhu asked, "How come you don't even have a piece of clothing?"

Ye Qingmo felt even more ashamed and said angrily, "It's all because of my younger brother. I almost escaped before, and he arranged for a woman to watch over me and even took away my clothes, so I couldn't escape."

He Yuzhu had guessed this was the reason earlier and found it quite amusing. Ye Qingxian's idea was indeed brilliant; Ye Qingmo, without clothes, had no way to escape.

However, the consequences were quite significant, as Ye Qingmo's exquisite figure was now fully visible to him.

I never expected that this rescue mission would lead to such a sensual and beautiful event.

He Yuzhu said, "It's easy to save you. Something happened in the yard just now, and most people left. It seems that Neng's younger brother is unwell and needs to see a doctor."

“That’s not my brother. I don’t have a brother like that. It’s infuriating!”

Ye Qingmo gave a brief explanation, and He Yuzhu then learned that Ye Qingxian was born to a concubine, while Ye Qingmo was the only child of the first wife, which was why Ye Qingmo had been able to take charge of the business before.

As the two were talking, a voice suddenly came from the side room: "Young Miss, aren't you asleep yet?"

As the maid spoke, she walked over here.

Ye Qingmo's face turned ashen. He looked around and saw that most of the furniture in the room had been moved out, leaving it empty with nowhere to hide.

He Yuzhu wondered if he should just knock the maid unconscious and then leave with Ye Qingmo.

At this moment, Ye Qingmo suddenly made up her mind, lifted the quilt, and whispered, "Quickly, lie in my arms."

While speaking, he arched his legs and opened them wide enough for a person to lie down in the middle.

He Yuzhu had just said no, but then swallowed his words back, not expecting such a sensual invitation.
