The Courtyard House: The story begins with He Yuzhu beating up the White Widow.

Chapter 257 Exchanging Money and Obtaining Certificates

Besides the driver and He Yuzhu, there was a young man with a buzz cut on the bus. After a while, the young man looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Brother, where are you from?!"

He Yuzhu glanced at the young man and replied, "Broken up with my girlfriend, just came out for a stroll."

The young man continued, "You don't look like you've just broken up with someone. You seem more like you've come from the mainland."

Fortunately, before transmigrating, He Yuzhu had worked in a coastal city harvesting snails, so his Cantonese was still quite fluent. He Yuzhu said, "Coming from the mainland, are there any who look as fresh and bright as me?!" After saying that, He Yuzhu took out a pack of Marlboro cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then took out another one and tossed it to the young man.

The young man took the cigarette, looked at it, smiled, took out a lighter from his pocket, lit the cigarette, looked at the night view outside, and said nothing more. The bus arrived in Central, and He Yuzhu got off. He found a teahouse that was already open and went inside.

"Sir, how many are in your party?!" the waiter asked with a smile when he saw He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu replied, "One!"

"Sir, please come with me!" With that, the waiter led He Yuzhu upstairs.

He Yuzhu found an empty seat by the window, sat down, and said, "Give me a pot of jasmine tea!"

"Okay, sir!" the waiter said before leaving.

Not long after, an older woman pushed a cart full of tea and snacks over. He Yuzhu stopped her and picked out a few of his favorites. A few minutes later, the waiter brought over the tea He Yuzhu had ordered. He Yuzhu picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip to moisten his throat, and began to slowly sip his morning tea.

When He Yuzhu was halfway through his meal, the newspaper vendor appeared. He Yuzhu bought a newspaper and continued eating while reading it. This continued until a little after nine in the morning. He Yuzhu paid the bill and left the teahouse.

Crossing the road, He Yuzhu turned into an empty alley, took out a bag from his spatial storage containing a dozen or so large yellow croakers, and then walked towards the bank not far away.

"Sir, how may I help you?" The bank lobby manager immediately greeted He Yuzhu as he entered carrying a bag. He Yuzhu didn't waste any time and unzipped the bag. Upon seeing the large yellow croaker inside, the lobby manager's face lit up with a bright smile, and he said, "Please follow me, sir!"

"Okay!" He Yuzhu responded and followed the lobby manager to the lounge, which was reserved for VIP clients. The lobby manager gestured for He Yuzhu to sit down and said, "Sir, please wait a moment! A professional will be at your service shortly!"

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, watched the lobby manager leave, and then immediately released his divine sense to envelop the entire bank. Soon, a 3D map of the bank appeared in He Yuzhu's mind. At this moment, He Yuzhu had already made up his mind. He planned to rob all the banks in Hong Kong, creating chaos to facilitate his rescue.

A short while later, a female bank employee walked in. She said, "Hello, sir! My name is Jenny, from the bank. As for senior account managers..."

He Yuzhu gestured for Jenny to sit down, pushed his handbag next to her, and said, "My name is He Zhu. Please exchange these gold bars for cash. Also, I've lost my passport. Could you please help me get a new ID card? As for the fee, just deduct it from this account." With that, He Yuzhu took out a pre-prepared photo and placed it on the table.

Jenny stared at He Yuzhu for a few seconds, then unzipped her handbag. He Yuzhu had originally planned to exchange it for a dozen or so large yellow croakers. However, just now, on a whim, he had filled it with fifty large yellow croakers. Over the years, many people at their bank had exchanged gold for cash. But few had been as extravagant as He Yuzhu.

Jenny pressed the bell on the table. A short while later, two staff members came in with equipment for testing the purity of the gold. They were probably experienced workers. The purity of the fifty large yellow croakers was quickly tested and weighed.

Jenny looked at the list in her hand and said with a smile, "Sir, your gold bars are of very high purity. At the current price, they're $500 per ounce. You have a total of 551 ounces. We can offer $276,000 for them. What do you think?"

He Yuzhu replied, "Absolutely no problem." Then he asked, "But what about my ID card?!"

Jenny said, "That's easy, but I guess you don't have a place to stay yet, sir?"

He Yuzhu said, "Miss Jenny, do you have any houses you can recommend?"

Jenny countered, "Sir, how big of a house are you looking to buy?!"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "I'm used to living in big houses. I don't want small houses. If you know of any large villas or anything like that, please introduce me." He Yuzhu patted the briefcase containing the gold bars and continued, "Don't worry! As long as the house is nice, money is no problem!"

Jenny instantly understood what He Yuzhu meant and said with a smile, "Please wait a moment, sir! I'll be right back!" With that, Jenny took He Yuzhu's photo and left.

About half an hour later, Jenny returned. She sat down opposite He Yuzhu, placed the bankbook and house brochures on the table, and pushed them towards him. He Yuzhu put the bankbook aside and picked up the brochures to look at them. Soon, he spotted two adjacent villas on the hillside and asked, "How much are these two villas?! Can you fence them off?"

Jenny looked at the house information and said, "One house costs 600,000, but if you want both, it'll be 1.2 million. However, the cost of building the fence is separate."

He Yuzhu then asked, "When can I get my ID card?!"

Jenny glanced at her watch and said, "It'll probably take another two hours."

He Yuzhu pushed the bankbook in front of Jenny and said, "This contains the deposit for these two houses."

Jenny smiled and said, "Mr. He, please wait a moment! I'll help you with the formalities!"

"Okay!" He Yuzhu responded, then saw Jenny press the bell on the table and say, "Give me a cup of coffee!"

The female employee heard the bell, pushed open the door, and handed the folder in her hand to Jenny.

As Jenny took the folder, she said, "Bring in two cups of coffee!"

"Okay!" the female employee replied and left. About five or six minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and then the female employee came in carrying a tray. She placed two cups of coffee in front of He Yuzhu and Jenny respectively, and then left. He Yuzhu picked up the cup in front of him, smelled the aroma of the coffee, took a sip, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
