Siheyuan, Shazhu: I have both parents in this life

Chapter 212 Your husband looks very familiar

Instead of immediately going to the secret room to call everyone out, Wang Cuiping went downstairs and walked towards He Yuzhu's car.

"Pillar, is everything taken care of?"

"Hmm, is Aunt Ping's family alright?"

"It's alright, except that your two little ones were scared and cried. What are you planning to do next?"

"Gather everyone together, I have something to say. Also, put away your spears."

"Will no one else come?"

"Next, the police will probably arrive, given the commotion."

Wang Cuiping blew the assembly whistle, and after everyone had assembled, He Yuzhu collected all the rifles and put them into a large backpack. Then he took out the corresponding number of pistols from the car and distributed them.

Then he said to everyone, "Everyone, remember this: I haven't been home these past few days."

"Yes, boss."

"Did they drive back?" Wang Cuiping asked.

"It's you. You went to security training today, and when you came back you found there was a gunfight outside. You were scared and waited until the gunfight was over before you came back."

"Okay, have you all remembered?"

"Understood, instructor."

"Go back to your seats."

"Yes."

After everyone left, He Yuzhu said to Wang Cuiping, "Aunt Ping, don't fire unless absolutely necessary. If anything happens outside, just say 'I don't know.' Also, you need to explain to your family that you went out today and won't be back until tonight. I haven't been home for the past few days."

"What about security?"

I'll be going over there later.

"That's good."

"The family is counting on you."

"I know, I've been a police officer for so many years, don't worry."

"Okay, I'm leaving." He Yuzhu nodded, then slung his backpack over his shoulder and climbed over the wall.

He Yuzhu went to clean up the mess. He wasn't sure if he had eliminated all the enemies. Besides, Lei Luo had so much money and property. If he didn't take it all in, it would all end up with the foreigners. It was better for Hong Kong's money to stay in Hong Kong.

He had already found out where Lei Luo and Piggy's house was.

Once outside the wall, He Yuzhu immediately packed up his backpack and quickly disappeared into the night.

After leaving the area, He Yuzhu released a car and sped towards the factory. What would normally be an hour's drive took him only half an hour, mainly because there were few cars and people around at night.

The car did not enter the factory, and He Yuzhu parked it some distance away. After parking the car, He Yuzhu entered through the wall, avoiding his security personnel, and arrived at A Lang's temporary residence.

Ah Lang didn't sleep; instead, he stayed with the people who went on the mission that day. As for his two henchmen, they were taken out for training. This was the result of a discussion after they returned. No one could guarantee that there wouldn't be any problems if they stayed here, so it was better for them to go out with the training group for the time being.

He Yuzhu came over and, seeing that no one else was there, said, "Everyone's here."

The eleven men were so frightened that they all reached for their weapons.

"Boss." Ah Lang saw He Yuzhu first.

"Everyone sit down."

"Boss, why are you so late?"

"I'm here to give you some instructions, and while I'm at it, I'll collect the guns you've used."

"What happened? Have they come looking for us?"

"Don't worry about this for now. Hand over all the guns that have been fired in the warehouse, and go to the armory to get another one."

"Boss, is it necessary to change guns?" one of the mission participants asked.

"Just in case, let's go get it now."

Yes, everyone left, and soon they all handed over the guns they had used that day.

"There's one more thing. Your Instructor Wang came by during the day and didn't leave until 6 PM. He was driving an M100. Got it?"

"I remember, Instructor Wang came by and didn't leave until six o'clock. He was driving your M100, boss."

"You also need to make sure everyone else is informed. I'm leaving this to you, Ah Lang. You're the kind of person who can't keep a secret. Do you know how to handle this?"

"Boss, I've sent those two out for training. They won't be back for a while."

"Well, you decide what to do. You know these people, and I haven't been here before."

"we know."

After giving his instructions, He Yuzhu left with his backpack, leaving a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment. The boss came and went without a trace, and the sentries outside were just decorations to him. You should know that they were trained by Wang Cuiping, using experience summarized from the battlefield, public security, security and other systems. Even they themselves could not enter silently, let alone He Yuzhu, who had no idea where the sentry post was.

"Alright, the two squad leaders, gather your men. The rest of the sentry posts will be filled," A Lang instructed. He felt he should also go for some training, otherwise He Yuzhu would definitely not take him along later; he would be a burden.

"Yes."

After He Yuzhu left, he drove to the Kowloon Police Station first, but it was really not right to bring cash instead of anything else.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the police station, he saw that it didn't look like the boss had disappeared at all. The officers on duty were playing cards, smoking, and dozing off.

I listened closer and overheard them discussing how Brother Luo must have led a large group of men to raid some gang, and that those guys would definitely make a lot of money off them.

He Yuzhu was speechless. Other people also thought that they had been led by Zhuyouzi to do some money-making business.

As for those guys who helped He Yuzhu deliver a message to Zhuyouzai this morning, sorry, they met their demise on Feie Mountain.

He Yuzhu climbed up the building from the outer wall, found Lei Luo's office, unlocked it, and entered. Then, following the example he saw in the movie, he broke open a wall. Once inside, he was a bit dumbfounded. He Yuzhu estimated that there were millions of Hong Kong dollars just outside, along with a bunch of bulging brown paper bags. He Yuzhu opened one and took a look; it was also full of Hong Kong dollars.

"Could it be that they just collected the fees and haven't yet offered them as tribute?" He Yuzhu wondered to himself.

"Whatever," He Yuzhu didn't hesitate at all, and took it all. After leaving the secret room, He Yuzhu restored the wall to its original state and followed the original path, leaving the police station and heading straight for the office building where Piggy had been today.

Since it's possible that the regulatory fees were just collected, the bulk of the money should still be going to them.

The guards at the office building were much more diligent than those at the police station, and there were quite a few of them. He Yuzhu didn't kill anyone; he knocked everyone out as he went and looted the office building. There was not only money inside, but also some weapons, property deeds, and all sorts of other random things.

When he left, he took one person with him, Ah Gou. This guy actually gave He Yuzhu a pleasant surprise, otherwise he would have gone to find this bastard.

After leaving the office building, they drove to a secluded spot, where He Yuzhu dragged Ah Gou out of the car and threw him in front of it.

"Slap, slap, slap!" He Yuzhu used a wooden board to whip Ah Gou several times, feeling that hitting him with his hands would only dirty his hands.

"Ugh, ugh, it's you! How could you be back? Where's Brother Luo? Where's Brother Zai?"

After being jolted awake, Ah Gou saw the person in front of him through the car headlights and was so frightened that he backed away on all fours until he crashed into the front bumper of the car.

"What do you say?"

"Who exactly are you? Who sent you?"

“You guys are so annoying, you all ask the same questions.”

"Crack, ah." Ah Gou's leg was broken by He Yuzhu.

"I can give you anything you want. If I don't have it, Brother Luo and Brother Zai have it too. I can lead the way, I can lead the way."

"You're quite sensible. Now tell me, what safe houses does Piggy have?"

"I won't tell you. You have to promise not to kill me first, then I'll take you there."

"Snap, ah."

"now what?"

"I...I won't tell."

"Crack, crack." Ah Gou's four limbs were all broken.

"Just kill me, just kill me, waaaaah." This guy chickened out; he didn't know what He Yuzhu was going to do next.

"Tell me the location of the safe house and warehouse for Piggy, and I'll give you a quick death."

“At No. 1, 1st Road.” Ah Gou gave several addresses.

"Looks like you're not being honest, huh? Crack crack crack." He Yuzhu stepped on Ah Gou's hand.

"Yes, I'm here," Ah Gou said quickly.

"If you had said so earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much. Actually, you had a way to die long ago. Lei Luo and Zhu Youzai are both your fault!" He Yuzhu stomped on Ah Gou's neck and broke it.

He Yuzhu didn't care whether what the kid said was true or not. He would find out by verifying it. If it was true, he would take it; if not, it didn't matter.

He was mainly angry that the kid had interrupted his development plan. The project could have proceeded smoothly for a while, but now he could only resort to violence and bloodshed to solve the problem. He was also unsure of what would happen next, so he tormented the kid to vent his anger.

After scanning all of Piggy's safe houses, He Yuzhu was genuinely pleasantly surprised. The reason was simple: many of Lei Luo's property deeds and rental contracts were with Piggy. Compared to these things, the money seemed insignificant.

He Yuzhu went to Lei Luo's house for a quick look. It was brightly lit, with people bustling inside, and the outside was full of cars. He drove away immediately.

With Lei Luo gone missing, the first thing to happen is probably the infighting within the police department. Since there are many people vying for power, they will likely try to suppress the news first.

Whether it can be contained is another matter.

The gangs below will definitely fight to the death, especially Crippled Ho's gang. With his backer gone, the others will pounce on him like hungry wolves. He Yuzhu has no interest in getting involved at this time. Wouldn't it be better to reap the benefits in the end?

He then drove to the warehouse, where, in addition to his cars, he also acquired a batch of weapons, home appliances, and daily necessities. He Yuzhu exclaimed, "Zhu Youzai's business is quite extensive." After emptying the warehouse, He Yuzhu found a quiet place to park and rested in his car for the night.

What he didn't know was that Hong Kong was in chaos that night. The gang that Lui Lok had wanted to suppress had launched a counterattack, targeting Crippled Ho.

Limpy Ho was no pushover either; the two sides really got into a fight, switching from machetes to pistols, and finally even bringing out AKs.

The police were too busy looking for Lui Lok to pay attention to them, and things escalated into a chaotic brawl among Hong Kong gangsters. With the mountain that had been weighing on them gone, they wanted to vent their pent-up frustrations.

Whitebait had no choice but to hide at the Lei family's house, because there were many police officers there.

As for He Yuzhu's house, no police came over all night, as if it had been forgotten.

The next morning, the sound of police sirens woke up everyone in the villa area, and then the police began to question people from house to house.

All security was confined to one area, and guns were all stored in one place. The police weren't confiscating them, but rather to prevent any incidents from happening.

These days, it's perfectly normal for rich people to have bodyguards, and it's not surprising to have a few guns at home.

The He family's house was located relatively close to the front, and the person leading the team in was a foreigner.

Who makes the decisions in your family?

“Me,” He Daqing stepped forward.

“A murder has occurred outside; routine checks and inquiries are being conducted.”

"can."

When the police officer questioning He Daqing showed no reaction, he waved his hand and all the police officers began searching him.

They were quite rude, rummaging through everything and making a complete mess.

Wang Cuiping frowned. Her guns had been hidden, including the one she had given to Xiaoman earlier; otherwise, she would have pulled out her gun and shot these people a few times.

Then the police started questioning everyone one by one. The family members told the truth: they had gone into hiding because of the chaos outside, and there was nothing else to say. Of course, everyone gave the same story about He Yuzhu's whereabouts and the people who drove out and back yesterday. However, the police obviously didn't investigate that thoroughly and didn't get to ask He Yuzhu.

They did ask about the car, because a neighbor had seen it, and it couldn't be kept secret.

The foreigner leading the group walked around the house, and when he got to the family photo of Old He's family, he glanced at it and then stood there frozen in place.

"Who is this person in your family?" the foreigner asked, pointing to He Yuzhu in the photo.

"This is my husband, Sir. Is there a problem?" Xiaoman was the one who stepped forward to deal with him; the others' English wasn't very good.

"Mrs. He, right? Where is your husband?"

"He went out to do business and has been gone for several days."

"Did you come from the north?"

"What, does the officer also handle immigration? We all have legal identification."

"No, no, no, you misunderstand, Mrs. He. I'd like to ask if your husband was a soldier before?"

Xiaoman turned to look at Wang Cuiping and translated what she had said to her.

"Ask him why he asked that," Wang Cuiping said calmly.

"I don't know why you're asking that, Sir?"

"Your husband looks familiar. When was this photo taken?"

"After coming to Hong Kong."

"How is that possible? More than ten years have passed, why is he still so young?"

"Does the officer know my husband?"

"I need to see him in person to confirm. You haven't answered my question yet: Was your husband a soldier before?"

Xiaoman remained silent. What if this guy was Zhu Zi's enemy? He Yuzhu had mentioned that he had dealt with the British in the peninsula.

“Sir, we’ve searched the place and found no suspicious persons. Their guns haven’t been fired recently, and there are no other weapons in the villa. What do you think?” At this moment, a Chinese policeman came over and interrupted the conversation between the two, whispering to the foreigner.

"Go check other places first, and don't take a single thing out of here," the foreigner shouted.

"Yes, sir," the policeman said somewhat reluctantly. He hadn't gotten anything out of it, and they wouldn't even let him take the gold and silver jewelry he'd gotten. He was clearly unhappy.

"What, is there another problem?"

"No, sir"

"If there are no problems, then check other places."

The policeman took a few steps and, seeing that the foreigner hadn't followed, turned around and said, "Sir, aren't you coming with us?"

"Can't you even handle this small matter?"

"No, sir."

“GO”

"Yes, sir."

After the Chinese police officer left, the foreigner said to Xiaoman, "I'm sorry, Madam He. It was just routine business. My subordinate was ignorant. Please forgive me."

"it does not matter."

"I still have to ask, was your husband a soldier before? This is very important to me."

"I need to know why."

"If so, he saved my life."

"Help?"

"It's embarrassing to admit, but I was a prisoner of war on the peninsula. If I hadn't been a prisoner, I would have been a corpse after that battle."

"I'm sorry, I can't answer you. You should wait for my husband to come back and ask him yourself."

"Sure, but I don't know if he'll be back today?" The foreigner didn't insist, since he didn't know anything and was just making a promise; what if he was an enemy?

"I do not know."

"Okay, I'll bother you again later. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

"By the way, my name is Orian Trench, I'm English. You can tell him when your husband comes back."

"Ok."

Orian Trench stared at the family photo for a few more seconds, then turned and left.

Then there were many more police officers outside the He family villa. The security team leader went to ask and was told that they were there to protect the He family.

The He family was completely bewildered.

"Wang family girl, do you think what this foreign devil is saying is true or false?" the old lady asked.

"I'm not sure, but it's very likely true. If they were really enemies, they wouldn't be so polite."

"Why didn't Zhu Zi mention it when he came back?" Chen Lanxiang asked.

"Sister-in-law, your son probably can't even remember how many people he captured on the battlefield, let alone come back and tell you about them one by one."

“Oh, no, he never said he captured anyone,” Chen Lanxiang said.

“He doesn’t like to talk about it anyway, it’s all sad stuff,” Wang Cuiping said, but in her heart she thought, “They were all killed by Zhu Zi, this one is probably a lucky one.”

“That’s right. Why is Hong Kong so chaotic? This place we’re staying in should be where officials used to live, so how come there are still people who dare to cause trouble outside?”

"This can't be explained in just a few words."

"Let me explain this to you briefly," said Old Master Chen.

His words immediately drew everyone's attention.

The old man had come before the liberation and had stayed for twenty years. He was very familiar with the changes in Hong Kong during those twenty years, partly from his own experience and partly from what he had heard. As for what he heard in newspapers and on the radio, he couldn't believe it all.

After listening to Grandpa Chen's explanation, everyone realized how complicated this place was. The old lady said, "It's almost like the time of warlord conflicts."

"More or less, but the foreigners call the shots in Hong Kong," said Old Master Chen.

"Grandpa, isn't Hong Kong ours?" He Yuyao asked.

“It was ceded by the Qing Dynasty and is now considered a colony,” Xiaoman said.

"Oh, so can I go back later?"

"Yes, definitely," Wang Cuiping said.

“So you must remember that you are Chinese, understand, children,” Chen Lanxiang said to her children.

"Understood, Mother."

“I understand, Grandma.”

"Hey, my grandson is so smart." Chen Lanxiang picked up He Yaozu in one scoop.

"Alright, everyone disperse. There are police outside, so everything should be fine. Go about your business." The old lady said.

　The foreigners weren't added randomly; see Chapter 141!
