Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 603

The streets are bustling with people, cars flowing, and neon lights flashing, interweaving into a bizarre urban scene.

In this seemingly ordinary atmosphere, He Yuzhu knew clearly in his heart that a huge change in the business landscape was quietly beginning.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this crucial gambling license will soon be transferred from Taixing Company to Aocheng Entertainment Company.

Taixing Company used to be a very prominent company in this industry. Its casino, a magnificent building, was once a glittering and iconic landmark of the city. For countless days and nights, it was brightly lit, attracting wealthy customers from all over the world. Its every move led the development trend of the industry and it held a pivotal position in the industry.

However, the business world is like a battlefield, where the situation is unpredictable.

Now, under the powerful and fierce market offensive of Aocheng Entertainment, Taixing Company, although unwilling, can only helplessly accept the fate of failure.

The company's performance declined, its capital chain broke, and many difficulties came like a tide, forcing it into a desperate situation.

He Yuzhu knows very well that business competition is so cruel and ruthless, just like the freezing cold winter, and there is no king who can stand forever.

In this turbulent market, only those with a keen eye, keen insight into market changes, decisiveness and the ability to adjust strategies in a timely manner can be like brave and fearless helmsmen, steer the ship through the wind and waves, survive and continue to move forward steadily.

He Yuzhu raised his hand, and his slender fingers carefully straightened the straight collar. The hand-made shirt collar became smoother under his fingertips.

He gently tugged at the corner of his clothes to make sure there were no wrinkles, and he looked even more energetic.

Then, he turned around gracefully, his steps steady and powerful, each one with a firm rhythm.

The figure gradually moves away in the complex interweaving of light and shadow in the airport hall, step by step towards the road leading to the boarding gate of Kai Tak Airport, as if walking towards a new world full of unknowns and challenges.

In this treacherous and ever-changing situation, He Yuzhu sat alone in the dim study, his brows furrowed, the cigar in his hand emitting wisps of green smoke that lingered around his stern face.

He had already planned the next important plan in his mind, and had repeatedly played out every detail in his mind, making them fit together as seamlessly as precision gears.

In that fierce confrontation, Xu Changfeng ultimately could not escape the punishment of fate.

The bullet mercilessly penetrated his chest, and his life was extinguished in an instant like a candle in the wind, leaving only deathly silence.

Liang Feixing and Wei Wuji, who once had a complicated relationship with He Yuzhu, are now like trapped beasts in a trap.

They were imprisoned in the gloomy and terrifying dungeon of the villa, surrounded by the smell of decay and dampness.

Water drops fell rhythmically on the walls of the dungeon. The dripping sound was particularly harsh in the silence, as if sounding the death knell for their miserable fate.

The two of them huddled in a corner, their eyes filled with fear and unwillingness, but they were helpless about their current situation.

Deep in the dungeon, the smell of decay and mildew was like an invisible mist, so thick that it was almost impossible to dissolve, and it penetrated into every inch of people's skin and deep into their bones.

On the stone wall, the moss is like a dark green devil's web, climbing and extending wantonly in the darkness, as if to drag everything in the world into this endless dark abyss.

It was quiet all around, with only mice rustling around in the dark. Their movements were like whispers in the darkness, tirelessly searching for hidden life.

Liang Feixing and Wei Wuji were trapped in this cramped place, with heavy shackles tightly locking their hands and feet, the cold touch chilling them to the bone.

They struggled with all their might time and again, but like insects trapped in a spider web, the shackles hit the stone wall, making a desperate echo, but only to no avail. Helplessness and despair permeated the humid air, as if to swallow up their last hope.

He Yuzhu, after handling a series of complicated and trivial matters around him, such as industrial layout adjustment, personnel scheduling and arrangement, and finalization of cooperation agreement details in an orderly manner, relied on his years of accumulated experience and extraordinary decisiveness, and finally took out this extremely precious time from his busy schedule.

At this moment, he stood in front of the spacious and bright window, his posture as straight as a pine tree.

Outside the window, the hustle and bustle of the city could be heard faintly, but it could not disturb his thoughts at all.

His gaze penetrated the glass, as if passing through layers of thick fog, and was firmly cast towards the mysterious Luzon Island in the distance.

In his deep eyes, the outline of Luzon Island was reflected, and in his heart, he had already repeatedly planned to go to Luzon Island in person to meet Zhao Yunhai, who was quite mysterious and had complex power in the local area.

Zhao Yunhai, in the treacherous land of Luzon Island, is a dominant figure who blocks out the sun and sky. His power is so great that it attracts the attention of all surrounding forces.

Under his command, there are many talented people, including brave generals who charge into battle on the battlefield and make the enemy tremble in fear, and can take the enemy's heads in a huge army as if taking something out of a bag; there are also wise military strategists who can plan strategies and win battles thousands of miles away, and can resolve numerous crises and make exquisite strategic arrangements while chatting and laughing.

The legends about Zhao Yunhai are like the countless stars in the night sky, spreading freely in this mixed world.

When some people talked about him, their faces turned pale instantly, and their eyes revealed deep fear. They described his ruthless and cruel side, as if wherever he went was a Shura hell, which was terrified; however, some people talked about him with undisguised admiration in their eyes, and they were full of praise for his heroic deeds. When his friends were in danger and their lives were hanging by a thread, he would always come to their aid like a god from heaven, without hesitation, and provide the most powerful support and protection.

After hearing all these stories about Zhao Yunhai, He Yuzhu was filled with irrepressible curiosity and a fearless determination to challenge. As if driven by a mysterious force, he resolutely decided to set foot on Luzon Island, a land full of unknowns and variables.

At that time, the Governor's Mansion was crowded with people and noisy, as lively as a grand market.

In the streets and alleys, the cries of vendors, the laughter of the crowds, and the honking of vehicles are intertwined.

Huo Yingdong and He Hongshen were both wearing suits that were carefully tailored by top tailors, with novel and unique styles, and they were straight and fit them well.

The leather shoes on their feet were polished to a shine, and with every step they took, the shiny surface clearly reflected the bustling scene around them.

The two men exuded an aura of confidence, their eyes were determined, their every move was full of unquestionable confidence, and their steps were steady and powerful as they walked towards the Governor's Palace step by step.

He Yuzhu stood at a street corner not far away, his figure cleverly hidden in the shadows of the crowd.

His eyes were deep and calm, like an abyss of ice, calm and peaceful yet frost-filled.

He just stared quietly at the backs of Huo Yingdong and He Hongshen as they walked away, and did not immediately follow them.

He Yuzhu had a clear mind. His goal was like the unreachable stars in the night sky, far away in a vast and distant place.

The bustling and bustling scene before him, as well as the disputes surrounding it, were nothing but fleeting clouds in his eyes, as short-lived as a wisp of smoke, disappearing in a flash.

He just stood there quietly, watching the ink-black car slowly start up. The engine made a low and steady roar, as if a giant beast stood up after lying dormant for a long time and drove steadily towards the dock.

He Yuzhu looked at the direction where the car was going away, his heart was a mess. Thousands of thoughts kept interweaving and colliding in his mind like a kaleidoscope, making him feel very upset.

Lin Wanting stood quietly beside He Yuzhu like a silent statue, her beautiful eyes closely following the car that was moving further and further away, raising a cloud of dust.

Her delicate face, which seemed to be carefully carved, was now filled with unhappiness.

Her lower lip was slightly bitten by her pearly teeth, her brows were lightly wrinkled, just like the slightly frowning stamens of a flower in spring, and she let out a long and helpless sigh in her heart.

She, the daughter of a wealthy family, grew up in that extremely luxurious mansion since childhood.

Inside the mansion, there are carved beams and painted buildings, showing wealth everywhere.

Her wardrobe is filled with exquisite clothes from top Paris designers, each of which looks like a work of art, exuding a charming luster.

The room was filled with countless dazzling jewels. The diamonds, emeralds, and rubies sparkled with dazzling light under the lights, as if all the beautiful things in the world naturally gathered around her and were born to be hers.

However, the ruthless hand of fate suddenly turned around.

Who could have expected that she would fall from the clouds to the dust and become someone else's maid.

Although deep down in her heart, she has gradually accepted her fate after a long struggle and suffering, but whenever the picture of a future life that may be full of hardships and fatigue emerges in her mind, how can a rich girl who has been pampered since childhood laugh?

Her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and sorrow at this moment, just like flowers hit by frost in late autumn, losing their former beauty and vitality.

She bit her lips gently, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes. Her knuckles had turned slightly white due to excessive force, as if she was trying to grasp the last trace of her past life in this subtle movement.

He Yuzhu and Lin Wanting walked quickly and arrived at the pier in a short while.

The dock in front of me is very lively, with ships docked densely together. The towering masts are like a forest, swaying gently in the sea breeze.

They boarded a ship that looked ordinary, but in fact every detail showed its capable qualities.

As the low roar of the engine sounded, the ship moved slowly and gradually sailed away from the dock.

The boat cuts through the waves on the sparkling sea, and the golden sunlight pours onto the sea without reservation. The jumping and flickering spots of light look like countless pieces of gold dancing freely.

The sea breeze, carrying the unique salty and humid scent of the sea, gently brushed across their faces, bringing a hint of coolness.

The waves hit the side of the boat again and again with a regular rhythm, making clear and pleasant sounds, just like a skilled musician playing a soothing and beautiful piece of music.

The boat was moving at a steady speed, and in less than half an hour, the outline of the Xiangjiang Pier appeared clearly in their sight.

On the dock, there were crowds of people, and the noise and shouts intertwined together, forming a bustling market picture.

There are mountains of goods, with a wide variety of them, including exotic spices with their fragrance filling the air, and silks with their soft texture and brilliant colors that are dazzling.

The local specialties are not to be outdone and are neatly arranged, highlighting the unique charm of this land.

The porters are like tireless worker ants, carrying things on their shoulders and hands, and busily shuttling between the goods.

Their skin, tanned by the scorching sun, was covered with dense beads of sweat, which sparkled with fine and tenacious light under the scorching sun.

He Yuzhu and Lin Wanting carefully avoided the crowd. After getting off the boat, He Yuzhu raised his hand to hail a taxi.

The taxi stopped steadily in front of them. He Yuzhu opened the door, and after Lin Wanting got in, he also got in the back seat.

He leaned back slightly, leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes determined, and ordered the driver without hesitation: "Master, go to the airport."

Lin Wanting sat quietly aside. As a capable assistant who had followed Chen Yuan for a long time, she was meticulous and knew her boss's style of doing things very well.

Chen Yuan's recent signs and the intention to cooperate mentioned in the phone call just now made her keenly aware of something.

A feeling of uneasiness suddenly welled up in her heart, and this uneasiness spread rapidly in her heart like untamed weeds in spring.

She clenched the corner of her clothes slightly, trying to calm herself down, and then spoke carefully, her voice trembling unconsciously, and asked with worry in her eyes: "Boss, from what you said just now, you are not planning to go to Luzon Island in person, right?"

He Yuzhu looked at Lin Wanting, who was trembling slightly with nervousness, and couldn't help feeling pity for her. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a faint smile of doting.

He raised his hand, and with gentle movements as if he was touching a rare treasure, he slowly and gently rubbed Lin Wanting's hair. The movement was full of intimacy that was imperceptible to others.

Then, he leaned forward slightly, and said in a casual tone as if he was talking about a trivial matter: "How clever! You guessed it right!"

At this moment, there was a different kind of light flashing in his eyes, a spark of anticipation and excitement, as if he was about to embark on a grand adventure that would change his destiny in the next second, and his whole body was exuding an eagerness to try.

"Ah!" Lin Wanting screamed subconsciously. Her originally rosy cheeks suddenly became as pale as snow in winter as if they were attacked by frost.

Her pupils contracted sharply, and the horrific rumors about Luzon Island suddenly flooded into her mind.

In her imagination, Luzon Island was like a sinister quagmire shrouded in darkness, where gangs were deeply rooted and lawless people were rampant. Every inch of land seemed to be filled with danger and harboured crises that could erupt at any time.

There may be unknown dangers lurking in the streets and alleys, and someone with bad intentions may jump out around the corner.

She didn't dare to continue imagining the various scenes that He Yuzhu might encounter after stepping into that land. The worries in her heart were like a surging tide that broke through a dam, rolling in and almost drowning her completely.
