He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 655 The Man Behind the Scenes 2

The fox's eyes were full of fear, and he answered with a trembling voice: "Boss, my name is Fox. I have been an orphan since I was a child, with no one to rely on..."

He Yuzhu knew that she was stalling for time on purpose. His expression suddenly turned stern, and he shouted coldly, "I'm asking about the person behind you! Don't talk nonsense to me. If you don't say anything, don't blame me for being rude. Just get ready to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the knife in the third brother's hand flashed with cold light and pressed towards Fox. Fox saw the shining blade and was so frightened that her face turned pale as paper and her body trembled involuntarily. In extreme fear, she finally collapsed and screamed: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! The person behind me is He..."

However, before she could finish her words, a shadow flashed by, and a sharp knife stabbed into her body from behind. The fox's eyes widened, blood gushed out of his mouth, and his body fell limply, and he died instantly.

He Yuzhu's heart trembled. He knew that it must be Lao Si who made the move in the dark. Lao Si always acted decisively. He must have been worried that Fox would bring them more trouble if he told them who was behind the scenes, so he chose to silence him. He Yuzhu whispered, "Go after him, don't alert the enemy. I want to see who is behind this and how dare they disregard human life!" His eyes revealed a firm determination to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

He Yuzhu knew that the fourth brother had quickly chased after him after hearing the order. He looked down at the dead fox on the ground and couldn't help but complain, "Don't you think you deserve it? If you had said it earlier, there wouldn't have been so many problems. You had to wait until now to say it, and now you've lost your life."

At this time, Qingyi came over, looked at He Yuzhu, and said solemnly: "Master, we have now entered a place where the law cannot control us. The rules here are different from those outside. The strong prey on the weak, and human life is worthless. It is so cruel."

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, feeling dissatisfied with the current dark situation, but still asked, "Do you think there is a sect whose name begins with the word 合? The power behind this may be a sect."

Qingyi smiled, thought for a moment and said, "Now it seems that it is most likely the Hehuan Sect. This sect has always been known for its ruthlessness and unscrupulousness, and most of the people in the sect are evil. As for other small sects that begin with the word "He", I don't know much about them and can't remember them for the time being."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he snorted coldly and said, "I understand. No matter whether it is the Hehuan Sect or not, I still can't stand this kind of disregard for human life. Since I have run into it, I must take care of it to the end!" His words were firm and powerful, showing his character of hating evil.

Qingyi looked at He Yuzhu with burning eyes, and said solemnly: "Master, what you said is indeed reasonable, but you must know that if you want to follow this clue to find the person behind it, this road is full of thorns and difficulties."

He Yuzhu smiled gently, with a bit of ease and determination in his smile, and said: "I am just like this. Although I know that I am not a good person, if I encounter those bad people who really do evil, I really can't stand it in my heart, and I have to intervene."

Qingyi knew that He Yuzhu had such a character who hated evil. He nodded slightly and said firmly: "Master, if that's the case, then I will accompany you to deal with it all. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I will fight side by side with you."

At this time, Lao Si was following carefully from a distance. He was amazed in his heart. He didn't expect these people to be so determined. They walked for more than an hour without stopping. At first, Lao Si's heart was filled with murderous intent. He really wanted to rush up and kill these people in one fell swoop.

But then he thought about it again. The task given to him by the clan leader was to find the mastermind behind them. If he acted rashly, he might alert the enemy and let the real mastermind escape. Helplessly, Lao Si could only suppress the impulse in his heart and follow closely behind, not daring to slack off.

Just when Lao Si felt that his patience was about to run out and he was about to lose his temper, a group of people in front of him came to a cave. The entrance of the cave was half covered by some weeds. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find that it was an entrance. Those people walked straight in without any hesitation.

Although two people were left at the entrance to guard the cave, they did not seem to be very alert and did not notice the presence of Lao Si at all. Lao Si seized the opportunity and, relying on his superb body skills, slipped in under their noses without anyone noticing. The two guards were still unaware and were still chatting.

As soon as Lao Si entered the cave, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw a pungent smell of blood in the cave, and there were corpses lying on the ground, both men and women. The scene was extremely tragic, like a hell on earth. Lao Si's anger rose up in an instant, and he wanted to cut these evil people into pieces immediately.

However, Lao Si soon forced himself to calm down. He knew that if he acted rashly on his own, some would slip through the net. If these people escaped, not only would all the previous efforts be in vain, but it might also bring greater trouble to the clan leader and himself.

So, Lao Si suppressed his anger and began to explore the cave. He carefully went through every corner, carefully looking for other exits. After a careful search, Lao Si finally recorded all the other entrances in the cave. After confirming that there was nothing missing, he quietly left the cave.

On the other hand, He Yuzhu's situation was also quite tricky. Since all the chefs of the black shop were brutally killed by the people behind the scenes, He Yuzhu was starving at this time, and had no choice but to cook by himself. He rolled up his sleeves and got busy in the simple kitchen, preparing some food for himself and Qingyi.

He Yuzhu was helpless and felt that he was extremely unlucky. Back then, he became the leader by chance and thought that he could live a life of power and majesty, but now he had to cook for himself. That was fine, but the key point was that Qingyi didn't know how to cook at all, and the other three fellow disciples knew nothing about cooking. They just had to wait for food to come to them.

There was no other way, He Yuzhu could only roll up his sleeves and get busy on the simple stove. He was skilled in cooking and soon made a few simple dishes. The aroma of the food filled the small space, and He Yuzhu sat at the table and ate casually.
