Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 604

Her hands uncontrollably grasped He Yuzhu's arms tightly, her nails unconsciously digging into his skin, her voice was obviously crying, almost begging, "Boss, it's too dangerous there, can you please not go?"

Lin Wanting curled up alone in the corner of the room. The dim and soft light was like a layer of gauze, gently falling on her slightly thin body. However, this warm light seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and was unable to dispel the ink-thick haze in her heart.

At this moment, her eyes were full of complex expressions. Anxiety was like fine needles, piercing deeply into her heart; tangled like a tangled mess, tightly entangling her thoughts.

Her brows were twisted into the shape of a deep "川" character, and her mind was like a revolving lantern, constantly circling around the plan that she had spent countless efforts and carefully planned for a long time. Every detail was chewed over again and again, and every possibility was constantly deduced in her mind, but she still could not find an answer that could make her completely at ease.

Originally, He Yuzhu had a detailed plan in his mind, like a sophisticated chess game.

She was fully aware of the significance of this bid, which was related to the future development of the company, so she focused her attention and made careful plans from the very beginning.

In her imagination, every move was carefully considered and contained hidden meanings.

She planned to use a clever combination of strategies, from resource allocation to personal connections, and if nothing unexpected happened, Aocheng Entertainment Company would only get this one chance to win the bid.

She is like a chess player who is thinking hard and making careful arrangements in front of the chessboard, with her eyes fixed on the board, not missing any details, and every move she makes is based on her own profound considerations.

She had rehearsed the day when the bidding results would be announced countless times in her mind.

Imagine it was a sunny day, with soft light shining on every corner of the city.

There was a lot of noise in front of the bulletin board downstairs in the company. People gathered there with great anticipation, whispering and talking.

When seeing the news that Aocheng Entertainment Company won the bid, He Yuzhu seemed to have seen what He Yuzhu looked like. He would be filled with joy, and a bright smile would bloom on his usually resolute face. That smile contained both satisfaction with the team's efforts and infinite longing for the future.

By that time, Qin Jingru had already calculated the timing and was waiting for He Yuzhu to be in a good mood.

She carefully choreographed her part, imagining how she would walk forward pitifully, with tears in her eyes that flickered in the dim light.

She rehearsed her lines countless times in advance, with just the right amount of trembling and grievance in her voice, ready to tell He Yuzhu about her helplessness and apology, portraying herself as a poor person manipulated by fate.

When this sad drama reaches its climax, she will quickly take out her phone and skillfully dial the number of her master Zhao Yunhai. Everything is within her calculations, and she is just waiting for this critical moment to come.

On the phone, she was like a dedicated and fully committed mediator, working tirelessly to mediate between her master and He Yuzhu and trying her best to bring them together.

The blow that our sect has suffered recently is quite heavy. The departure of our senior brother Zhao Changfeng was too sudden. His life was like a meteor across the sky, disappearing without a trace in an instant, leaving behind endless regrets.

And just this morning, she received the tragic news that Gao Kening had passed away suddenly from a heart attack. This news was like a heavy hammer with a tremendous force, hitting her heart directly and shaking her world.

Recalling these things, she couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in her heart. Each and every misfortune was like a sharp blade that flashed with cold light, piercing deeply into her heart without mercy, causing her heartbroken.

She felt that after going through so many twists and turns, the anger in He Yuzhu's heart should have subsided a lot.

Lin Wanting secretly bit her lower lip and made a solemn resolution in her heart that she would be like a docile kitten and obey He Yuzhu's words obediently in the future.

A clear picture has already been sketched out in her mind: she is like a diligent and responsible personal maid, always by He Yuzhu's side, whether it is handing him a cup of steaming hot morning tea in the early morning, or gently drawing the blackout curtains for him in the afternoon, or organizing his clothes and taking the necessary items for him on weekdays, she will do every trivial thing meticulously and considerately.

She even seemed to see herself following behind He Yuzhu, her eyes full of tenderness and dependence, her hands slightly leaning forward when she handed him tea, with just the right amount of respect; when she took things, her movements were swift, with only his needs in her eyes.

She thought that as long as she sincerely paid a reasonable amount of compensation and showed such a sincere attitude, this time of grudges and hatred would surely come to an end and everything would return to peace.

However, reality was like a bucket of cold water, ruthlessly extinguishing the hope in her heart and making her worried.

The current strength of the master's sect is not optimistic at all. It is like a dangerous building in the wind and rain, shaking on the verge of collapse. Every gust of wind seems to be able to completely destroy it.

Looking around the sect, only Master Zhao Yunhai and his beloved son Zhao Yaojie have reached the realm of Hua Jin. In this martial arts world, the number of such masters is really stretched.

In comparison, He Yuzhu and Du Guanghe are also masters of Hua Jin.

Du Guanghe, in particular, has already reached the realm of perfect transformation of energy. The aura emanating from his body is as deep as the sea and unfathomable, like a giant beast lurking in the fog. Just the faint breath is enough to make people feel awe and shudder.

Lin Wanting had already repeatedly replayed this contest of unequal strength in her mind.

Her desire for her master to win is just like that of every devout disciple, who hopes that her master will be invincible in the battle.

On countless silent nights, she silently cheered for her master in her heart, and repeatedly imagined the scene of the exciting duel in her mind.

The master is dressed in tight clothes, his body is as agile as a cheetah, and every movement is smooth and powerful.

When attacking, the moves are as sharp as lightning, the strong wind from the fist whizzes past, causing the surrounding air to tremble, and each blow is wrapped in a powerful momentum like an overwhelming force, making the opponent afraid.

However, reason was like a ruthless blade, coldly analyzing the reality and telling her mercilessly that the possibility of the master winning this business war was slim.

He Yuzhu has been working in the business world for many years, and has carved out a vast territory for himself with his unique business acumen and vigorous and resolute style of doing things; Du Guanghe is equally strong, and the business empire he controls is intricate and his network of contacts is intricate.

The strength of these two people is like two towering and insurmountable mountains, blocking the master's way forward.

Every time her thoughts touched this point, her heart seemed to be pressed down by a cold and heavy stone. Her chest felt stuffy and even breathing became difficult. It was as if she was trapped in an airtight predicament and could not find a way out.

Therefore, she has always held a firm belief in her heart and tried to mediate in this tense situation, hoping to use her own strength to resolve this dispute, which is getting more and more intense like a raging fire, through peaceful means, and to minimize casualties and property losses.

She was like a lone boat, sailing hard on the stormy sea with thunder and lightning. Every time a huge wave hit, the boat shook violently and could be swallowed up by the merciless sea at any time.

But even in such a difficult situation, she never gave up, and she was eager to find that quiet haven, so that the tense conflict between her master and He Yuzhu could be resolved, and everything could return to the peace and tranquility of the past.

At this moment, Lin Wanting was sitting in the shaking car, looking extremely anxious.

The street scene outside the car window was like a blur of light and shadow, but she had no intention of appreciating it.

Her body leaned forward slightly, as if there was an invisible force pulling her in front of her, and she wanted to rush out immediately.

Her hands subconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, her fingertips squeezing so hard that her knuckles turned pale, as if only this could ease her inner anxiety.

Her eyes were filled with anxiety, almost overflowing. She quickly turned sideways and said to He Yuzhu beside her, "Boss, please be kind and let me make a phone call. I know my master too well. He is a reasonable person on weekdays, kind and never argues with others. As long as I explain it to him and make it clear what happened, he will definitely reconcile with you. To be honest, this matter really has nothing to do with my master. It was all caused by some misunderstandings. It would be too unworthy if we damage the relationship because of these misunderstandings."

Recalling the cause of the incident, it was a gloomy afternoon with dark clouds covering the sky. Gao Kening, like a cunning poisonous snake, quietly sneaked into the residence of Zhao Changfeng and Lin Wanting.

He narrowed his cunning eyes, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, and his words were like carefully crafted sharp blades, piercing the hearts of the two men accurately.

Gao Kening talked incessantly, describing the huge rewards that would come after the success. Gold, silver and treasures would come like a torrent of water, enough to ensure that they would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and enjoy wealth and glory.

At the same time, he exaggerated the "evil deeds" of the target person He Yuzhu, describing He Yuzhu as a demon who committed all kinds of evil and heinous crimes, as if He Yuzhu's existence was the root of all suffering in the world.

Zhao Changfeng and Lin Wanting were inexperienced and not mentally strong enough. Under the instigation of Gao Kening's eloquent words, they felt dizzy and controlled by an invisible force. They were bewitched and accepted the assassination mission with a high risk of death. On impulse, they embarked on this dangerous road full of dangers and thorns.

At that time, Zhao Yunhai was busy dealing with many affairs within the group and was unaware of the actions of Zhao Changfeng and Lin Wanting.

Without consulting Zhao Yunhai, the two men, full of passion, rashly sneaked into He Yuzhu's secret base in the dead of night.

They relied on their extraordinary courage and thought they could successfully complete the mission under the cover of night, but they didn't know that He Yuzhu had been prepared and had set a tight net.

As soon as they entered the stronghold, their whereabouts were keenly captured by the spies planted by He Yuzhu.

Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu's men rushed out from all directions, and the two sides instantly engaged in a fierce fight.

Although Zhao Changfeng and Lin Wanting fought hard, they were helpless against the enemy who outnumbered them. After a hard fight, they gradually ran out of strength and were eventually captured alive.

After Zhao Changfeng and Lin Wanting were arrested, Gao Kening's heart was instantly filled with endless panic.

He paced back and forth in the office, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, his eyes full of panic.

He knew very well that once the matter was exposed, he would be doomed and the severe punishment of the law was beyond his ability to bear.

In extreme anxiety, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and it took him a lot of effort to dial Zhao Yunhai's number.

The moment the call was connected, Gao Kening suppressed his inner fear and told Zhao Yunhai the details of what had happened with an unconcealable trembling in his voice.

When Zhao Yunhai heard this, his already hot temper was instantly ignited, like an erupting volcano or a giant gunpowder barrel that was lit.

His eyes were wide open and he cursed at Gao Kening on the other end of the phone. His angry words were like surging waves in a storm, and poured out like a string of cannonballs, dense and unrestrained.

The volume was so loud that it seemed to break through the constraints of the telephone receiver and penetrate directly in front of Gao Kening.

Gao Kening was on the other end of the phone, his body shaking uncontrollably. The angry roar coming from the phone was like a heavy hammer hitting his fragile nerves.

After cursing, Zhao Yunhai suppressed his anger, his chest heaving violently, and the anger on his face had not dissipated.

He knew very well that the most urgent task was to rescue his apprentice. Any further delay would put his apprentice in greater danger.

So he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and immediately called over his other two disciples, Liang Feixing and Wei Wujie.

He looked anxious, his eyes full of worry, and he said hurriedly, "You two should hurry up and try every possible means, whether it's finding connections, using tricks, or spending money, to rescue Zhao Changfeng and Lin Wanting as soon as possible. Remember, don't act rashly. We are outnumbered and will fall into danger if we are not careful. Rescuing them safely is your top priority."

In his heart, the safety of his apprentice at this moment was like a mountain pressing down on his head, hanging heavily.

He no longer had time to think about assassinating He Yuzhu again. In this sect where master and disciple were like father and son, the life of the disciple was of utmost importance.

Therefore, the statement of the so-called two assassinations is not very rigorous if you think about it carefully. The first assassination was actually a private action by Zhao Changfeng and Lin Wanting. They were young and hot-headed, and acted rashly without discussing it with their master. It was not the wish of the entire master.

After hearing what Lin Wanting said, He Yuzhu's expression was as calm as a bottomless pool, without a single ripple.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "No need, I plan to talk to your master in person."

This seemingly simple and casual sentence was like a blockbuster bomb that exploded in Lin Wanting's heart.
