Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 575 The Lawyer Disappeared

She paused slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to make her tone sound more sincere.

"How about this? I'll give them a call. They have a lot of connections, so it won't be difficult for them to collect a large ransom. As long as you can be so kind as to let all of us go, what do you think?"

In fact, up to this point, He Yuzhu had merely relied on his superb and amazing martial arts to capture the four of them like an eagle catching chicks and put them in prison.

Fortunately, there were no casualties during the fierce battle between the two sides.

At this moment, Lin Wanting's heart was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples, and a strong idea emerged in her mind.

She was eager to resolve this tangled, tangled feud.

After all, the hatred between the two sides is not the kind of deep hatred that can only be washed away with blood.

After calming down, carefully recalling the past and thinking calmly, she felt that there was still a possibility of easing the relationship.

If the situation really gets worse in the future and someone gets injured or even dies, then they will probably become enemies that can never be reconciled and will not stop until death, and even in the afterlife, it will be difficult to resolve the hatred.

When He Yuzhu heard Lin Wanting ask this, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

He frowned slightly, his mind went blank in an instant, and he didn't know where to start.

In fact, before this, this question had been circling in his mind repeatedly.

If he successfully captured Xu Changfeng and Lin Wanting, how to deal with them has always been a difficult problem that he has been thinking about secretly.

The moment he was suddenly attacked by them, his anger surged like a raging tide, instantly drowning his heart.

At that time, he only wanted to cut the two men into pieces so that he could calm the raging anger in his heart.

However, after the situation was reversed and the two men were successfully captured, He Yuzhu, who had calmed down, had to face a realistic and difficult problem.

Killing prisoners who had no power to resist was an immoral act and was definitely not his upright style.

The operation was smooth and it took almost no effort to capture both Liang Feixing and Wei Wuji, two masters of Hua Jin.

You know, these two are in their prime, and their strength in Hua Jin should not be underestimated.

If he could successfully conquer them, he would have two more capable generals under his command.

Before this, within He Yuzhu's sphere of influence, Du Guanghe was the only one who could stand on his own.

With the help of Liang Feixing and Wei Wuji, we will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort in the future.

What's more, behind Lin Wanting, there is her unfathomable master Zhao Yunhai and her senior brother Zhao Yaojie who is highly skilled in martial arts.

If we can bring them under our command, our own power will be greatly enhanced.

Although the women under his command have all reached perfection, they have been in a stable environment for a long time and have little practical experience.

For safety reasons, it is not advisable to let them go out and take risks.

Raising them to the highest level is only to enable them to have basic self-protection capabilities.

The current situation is urgent. We must at least wait until Zhao Yunhai is completely dealt with and makes him convinced and willing to surrender before we can start to recruit him under our command and entrust him with important tasks.

Thinking about this, He Yuzhu was in no hurry to express his attitude, and said casually: "You are still my captive now, why do you worry so much?"

Hearing this, Lin Wanting's pink cheeks instantly flushed.

She frowned slightly and couldn't help but pout.

She stamped her feet, took small steps, and said in a feigned anger, "Humph! I have already agreed to be your woman in the future, how can you still bear to let me continue to be a captive?"

Faced with such a gentle question, the corners of the man's mouth slightly raised, like a crescent moon, revealing a meaningful smile, and that smile seemed to hide endless thoughts.

Youyou said: "I am not short of women, I just lack a few well-behaved and obedient maids."

Looking back at the beginning, when the sisters Du Weixiang and Du Weifang were also captives, they were new and trembling with fear, and were kept behind to be used as maids.

As the seasons change, time passes quietly and the wheel of years turns without us noticing.

What was unexpected was that during those seemingly ordinary days, the two girls became pregnant with his children one after another.

Under this circumstance, the previous model of arbitrary dispatching would naturally not work. After all, they could no longer be ordered around like ordinary servants.

After all, even if one dislikes the sisters, one has to give some face to the unborn children in their bellies, and blood is thicker than water.

In this way, they can also rely on the fetus in their womb to gain status and at least get the same treatment as other women.

Moreover, if he still wanted Du Guanghe to work wholeheartedly for He Yuzhu, after all, Du Guanghe cared deeply for the two sisters, it would not be a good idea to bully them too much.

Well, it just so happened that Lin Wanting came to my door on her own initiative, just like a pillow handed to me when I was sleepy. So I might as well treat her like a maid and train her well, from her words and deeds to her way of dealing with people, no matter how big or small, so that she would be completely convinced and submit to me.

The rage in Lin Wanting's heart almost burned her to ashes.

She was born into a prestigious family on the island of Luzon. The family business was intertwined, ranging from the commercial centers of bustling cities to plantations in remote areas. Whenever the family stomped their feet in the local area, the ground would tremble.

As the most favored daughter in the family, she has been pampered like a star since she was young, with everything provided for her and living a life of extreme luxury.

The elders in the family had high hopes for her. After careful selection, they sent her to Zhao Yunhai to apprentice and learn skills, hoping that she could acquire skills and bring honor to the family.

Who could have expected that just because of a careless negligence, the gears of fate would suddenly turn.

Now, she was being treated like a maid by He Yuzhu and was being ordered around at will, with no dignity at all.

As the saying goes, people under the eaves have to bow their heads.

Although the resentment in her heart was like surging waves, hitting the shore of reason again and again, Lin Wanting knew that she must not act rashly.

She recalled yesterday's first attempt to assassinate He Yuzhu, which ended in failure.

Tonight, she mustered up her courage again, grasped the dagger, and attempted another assassination, but still failed.

She knew clearly in her heart that although He Yuzhu seemed magnanimous and had let her go twice, if he happened a third time, with He Yuzhu's methods, her life would be in danger.

This assassination attempt has failed again. From now on, I am afraid I can only stay by He Yuzhu's side.

As for whether she will eventually accompany him as a partner, or become a maid at his command, it all depends on He Yuzhu's decision, and she has no say in it.

At this moment, the strong curiosity in Lin Wanting's heart was like the bamboo shoots that broke through the soil after the spring rain, growing vigorously and uncontrollably, making her unable to suppress it any longer.

She opened her red lips slightly, and asked in a voice that was slightly shy but full of urgency, "I wonder how many girls you have in your family?"

He Yuzhu's relaxed brows slightly frowned when he heard this. A hint of doubt flashed across his deep eyes. He asked without hesitation, "Why are you asking about this?"

But when he looked up, he saw Lin Wanting's expectant look. Her bright eyes were full of curiosity and desire, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, revealing her yearning for the unknown answers.

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he answered calmly but with some certainty: "About 20 to 30 people, and they will all be your masters from now on."

Hearing this, Lin Wanting seemed to be struck by thunder and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Ah... So many?"

In an instant, a group of women flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope of figures, some graceful and elegant, some gentle and charming, and some cold as ice. But no matter what their appearance was, it was hard for her to imagine how she would deal with so many hostesses.

A deep feeling of powerlessness, like a surging tide, instantly drowned her heart.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, sketching a slightly teasing smile, and said leisurely: "So you have to work harder in the future!"

Hearing this, Lin Wanting, who had originally held a glimmer of hope in her heart, sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant, like a kite with a broken string.

Her face was full of sorrow, as if she was shrouded in a thick haze that could not be shaken off.

Faced with such a large number of distinguished masters, how should one serve them carefully, comprehensively and properly so as not to leave any handles behind and cause trouble?

This series of questions, like a tangled mess, entangled in her mind, making her upset and at a loss.

At the same time, everything seemed calm and peaceful in the villa, but Gao Ke-ning, who was far away in another secret base, was like a frightened bird, scared out of his wits.

The first two assassins she sent out were both masters of hidden power in the underworld. Their assassination methods were ruthless and they had never failed in previous missions.

He was on a mission to assassinate He Yuzhu, and he had made a solemn promise before setting out, but now, nothing has been done, and there is no news at all.

Gao Ke was full of doubts, so how could he not know what this meant?

But she still held on to hope, gritted her teeth, and sent out two more powerful top masters who had reached the level of transformation.

These two people are also well-known in the martial arts world. They have never made any mistakes in their attacks. Gao Ke Nian thought that he would succeed this time.

However, as time passed, there was still no news, like a drop in the ocean, with all traces lost.

Gao Ke sat in the dim room, tapping his fingers unconsciously on the table, his brows twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

Without much speculation, she knew in her heart that these two people must have met with an accident, fallen into the hands of the enemy, and were trapped in that dangerous place, unable to escape and return.

The successive failures were like heavy hammers hitting Gao Ke's heart.

She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. The fear and anxiety in her heart were like a surging tide, one wave after another, and she could no longer hold it back.

She paced back and forth in the room, her steps hurried and flustered, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

After thinking it over again and again, Gao Kening made a prompt decision and quickly called Fu Laorong.

The moment the call was connected, her voice trembling as she reported the terrible situation here to Fu Laorong in detail.

As night falls, the city is shrouded in darkness, and Gao Ke Nian is aware that danger is imminent.

Taking advantage of the night, she hurriedly packed her luggage, her movements were flustered and hurried, her eyes full of vigilance and anxiety.

She was afraid that the other party would follow the intelligence they had, come to her and carry out a fatal assassination.

Soon, she took a few followers and quietly left the hiding place under the cover of night, heading for a more secret place, hoping to avoid the impending crisis.

The next morning, the warm golden sunlight, like fine gold foil, filtered through the tiny gaps in the curtains and poured into the quiet room as softly as silk threads.

He Yuzhu woke up slowly, his body first curled up slightly, then suddenly stretched out, stretching himself lazily. Along with the movement, his bones made a series of slight "cracking" sounds, as if happily announcing the start of a new day.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked gently at Lin Wanting who was still sleeping beside him.

At this moment, her face was as rosy as the peach blossoms in bloom in spring, her breathing was steady and even, like the slight ripples on the calm lake, and there was a faint smile on the corners of her mouth, as if she was in a sweet dream, in which there was beauty that belonged only to her.

The corners of He Yuzhu's mouth unconsciously rose slightly, revealing a smile full of pampering, and that smile contained endless tenderness.

He stretched out his hand, and his movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing a sleeping butterfly. He gently pushed Lin Wanting, and at the same time, his voice was so soft, as if the breeze was blowing past her ear, he whispered: "Wake up, you lazy bug! It's already so late, and you're still sleeping."

Lin Wanting, who was awakened by the gentle movements and sounds, grumbled in dissatisfaction. Her voice was soft and sticky, as if it was coated with a layer of honey, and still carried a strong sense of sleepiness that had not yet dissipated: "Oh, I'm so sleepy, can you let me sleep a little longer?"

Having said that, she still slowly opened her eyes like a morning flower slowly blooming. Even though she was still sleepy, there was still some confusion in her eyes, and she looked straight at He Yuzhu.

Seeing Lin Wanting slowly waking up, He Yuzhu curled his lips, his eyes full of smiles, and urged her gently: "Hey, little lazy bug, don't be greedy for this bed, hurry up and get up and wash up."

Lin Wanting nodded slightly with sleepy eyes and very reluctantly, then sat up from the bed with messy hair.

Her movements were as slow as a slow motion shot in a movie, and her body was swaying, as if she was not standing on solid ground but on soft clouds. She moved unsteadily towards the bathroom like a drunk person and began to wash up.

On this side, He Yuzhu was one step ahead of her. He walked out of the bedroom with a nimble figure, took steady and powerful steps, went down the stairs with "dong dong dong", and went straight downstairs.

When he stepped into the spacious and bright living room, he saw Du Guanghe waiting there quietly.
