The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Moreover, Tian Zehua was unaware of the realm of martial arts and didn't understand it very well.

Minister Gu looked at Tian Zehua and asked him:

"Comrade Tian Zehua, right?"

Tian Zehua nodded:

"Yes!"

Minister Gu asked:

"Are you Comrade He Yuzhu's mentor?"

Although Tian Zehua didn't know the levels of martial arts, he understood what Minister Gu meant by asking the question.

"Yes, but I am his culinary instructor, not his martial arts instructor, who is someone else!"

Upon hearing Tian Zehua's words, Minister Gu nodded and looked at He Yuzhu, surprised that He Yuzhu was not only skilled in martial arts.

"Still learning to cook," Minister Gu asked.

"May I ask, Comrade He Yuzhu, what is your master and sect?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and remembered that his master had not told him that he could not reveal his name or sect.

"Of course, my master is Li Cunren. As for my sect, my master says it's the Natural Sect."

I don't know the specifics. My master left after giving me his instruction, and I haven't seen him since!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Minister Gu said:

"Oh, is that so? Then there's nothing else. You're still young, and you're too strong. Try not to fight with others if you can avoid it."

You should know that you're responsible if you kill someone!

He Yuzhu nodded:

“I know, that’s why I always avoid trouble. If it weren’t for this person today…”

Minister Gu waved his hand:

"This doesn't need explanation. I saw it all from the side. When something happened, you and your master just hid."

If it weren't for that unlucky guy, this wouldn't have happened.

Although I have not practiced martial arts, I know that I must never be humiliated.

That black gold guy's bad luck has nothing to do with you, and it's all over.

I'm just registering you. But with your talent, it's a waste for you to be a cook. Have you ever thought about joining the army?

Although this place is a military control commission, we are still part of the military and will have to leave sooner or later.

If you want to join the army, I can arrange for you to be in my unit, even if you're a bit younger.

But if there's nothing urgent, it can still be done!

Hearing Minister Gu's words, He Yuzhu shook his head:

"Thank you for your high regard, leader. If I were the only child in my family, I would definitely join the army no matter what."

But I have a younger sister. My mother passed away two years ago, and my father doesn't want me and my sister anymore.

Now it's just my sister and me, relying on each other for survival, so I'm sorry, I can't go with you.

I still have to take care of my younger sister. If I go with you, she'll be all alone, and she won't be able to survive in this world!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Minister Gu liked this fifteen-year-old boy even more.

Minister Gu said to He Yuzhu...

Chapter Twenty: Black Gold Committed Suicide

"Alright, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Now that you've said that, it would be wrong of me to let you join the army again."

But if you want to enlist, come find me, and I'll definitely help you arrange it!

Actually, at this time, it was quite easy to join the army as long as one's background was clean.

Minister Gu had no intention of sending He Yuzhu to work under someone else; if He were to join the army, he wanted him to be one of his own.

So when Minister Gu said those words, Tian Zehua said to Minister Gu:

"Boss, can we leave now? We just came out to buy New Year's goods, and we didn't expect to run into something like this!"

Just as Minister Gu was about to speak, a soldier ran in and saluted him.

"Minister, something terrible has happened! That black gold guy has committed suicide!"

Upon hearing the soldier's words, Minister Gu asked in great shock:

"what happened?"

"Minister, after Black Gold woke up and realized he was under arrest, he immediately bit through his poisonous fangs and died from the poison!"

Minister Gu said:

"It seems this black gold is a really big fish. Give the order to find out who this black gold has been in contact with, and then investigate them one by one!"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu cautiously asked:

"That leader, this is me..."

Minister Gu waved his hand:

"This has nothing to do with you. These people deserve what they got, but we don't know if they have powerful backers."

But don't worry, these rotten fish and shrimp will be caught sooner or later.

Damn groundhogs!

He Yuzhu did not express any opinion, as long as it had nothing to do with him.

After finishing their business, the two bid farewell to Minister Gu and left.

After coming out, Tian Zehua asked He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, are you alright?"

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"Master, I'm fine, I just never expected that person to commit suicide!"

He Yuzhu was worried that what he had gained might cause him trouble.

But I didn't expect that he would die directly. Since he's dead, there's no more trouble with what I got.

However, I don't know what I got; it's still in my own space. It seems I can only take another look when I have time.

Tian Zehua said:

"Since there's nothing else, let's go shopping. Otherwise, we won't have anything for the New Year!"

After this incident, Tian Zehua didn't say much, but he valued He Yuzhu even more.

After all, without He Yuzhu, he would have been badly injured, if not killed, and he himself had overheard it at the Military Control Commission.

That Black Gold killed several soldiers; he's clearly no pushover.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu stepped in, and judging from Minister Gu's attitude, he greatly admired and valued He Yuzhu; otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to win him over.

This further fueled Tian Zehua's desire to take care of He Yuzhu.

The two went to the department store and bought everything they needed. When they returned home with their bags full of purchases, Yu Hui asked:

"Why are you back so late?"

Tian Zehua sighed and said:

"Don't even mention it! If it weren't for the pillar, none of us would have made it back!"

Yu Hui asked:

"what happened?"

Tian Zehua told Yu Hui what had happened that day, and then said:

"After we arrived at the Military Control Commission, we went to buy more things after we finished our assessment. If we hadn't been missing pillars today, I probably would have already given up!"

After hearing Tian Zehua's words, Yu Hui was also very frightened:

"Zhu Zi, thank you. I don't know what I would have done without you."

He Yuzhu waved his hand:

“Master’s wife, don’t say that. No matter what, Master is still my master. He helped me when I was in the most difficult time.”

Besides, I've practiced martial arts. If I don't take action now, am I still a man?

"It's alright, don't overthink it, it's what I should do!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yu Hui was very satisfied with He Yuzhu's character. You know, Tian Zehua had treated He Yuzhu like that before, and although Yu Hui understood, she was still a little resentful.

After all, He Yuzhu is very talented. If he works for Tian Zehua, Tian Zehua can earn a lot more money.

But now that He Yuzhu has saved her man, Yu Hui also fully approves of her man's previous decision.
