The Courtyard House: The story begins with He Yuzhu beating up the White Widow.
Chapter 261 He Yuzhu confirms Lin Hongming's location
He Yuzhu initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the expectant look in Lou Xiao'e's eyes, he couldn't bear to say no. So he could only agree: "Okay! I'll wait for Xiao'e at the tea restaurant entrance tomorrow after I finish my business!"
"That's wonderful!" Lou Xiao'e exclaimed excitedly, then suddenly realized she had been a bit overreacting and stole a glance at her mother. Tan Lingya smiled and said, "Let's go!"
He Yuzhu followed Tan Lingya and Lou Xiao'e back to Central for more than half an hour. At an intersection, He Yuzhu parted ways with Lou Xiao'e and her daughter. After Lou Xiao'e and her daughter had walked away, He Yuzhu began to walk towards Victoria Road and Mount Davis.
After walking for about half an hour, He Yuzhu arrived at the entrance of a restaurant. Seeing that there were quite a few people inside, he went in. After finding an empty table and sitting down, He Yuzhu ordered three local specialties from the port city, a clay pot soup, and a large portion of stir-fried rice noodles for a simple dinner.
After finishing his meal, He Yuzhu left the restaurant and walked for about half an hour before finally arriving near the place where Lin Hongming was being held. He Yuzhu found a secluded spot and spread his divine sense—a tool even more effective than radar. In the blink of an eye, He Yuzhu used his divine sense to locate Lin Hongming, who was sitting on the bed in a daze. Seeing Lin Hongming's haggard appearance, he guessed he had suffered a lot during this time.
About an hour later, He Yuzhu withdrew his divine sense. After an hour of observation, He Yuzhu had a clear understanding of the sentry posts and layout inside. Having completed his reconnaissance, He Yuzhu found a hotel nearby and checked in.
Nothing happened that night. A little after seven the next morning, He Yuzhu checked out of the hotel. Not far from the hotel, he boarded a bus to Central. It was rush hour, so the bus was quite crowded. After a stop-and-go journey of about half an hour, He Yuzhu got off at Central, bought a simple breakfast from a stall, found a quiet spot, took out two travel bags full of cash from his storage space, and headed towards a nearby bank.
"Mr. He!" Just as He Yuzhu reached the intersection, a car stopped beside him.
Hearing the shout, He Yuzhu looked into the car and greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Miss Jenny!"
"Good morning!" Jenny replied, then asked, "Mr. He, where are you headed?"
He Yuzhu replied, "I was just about to go to the bank to find you."
Jenny said, "Mr. He, please get in the car!"
He Yuzhu thought for a moment, opened the trunk, put two travel bags inside, then opened the back door and got in. Jenny waited for He Yuzhu to close the door before driving away. On the way to the bank, Jenny asked, "Mr. He, you brought back quite a bit of cash this time?!"
He Yuzhu replied, "Miss Jenny, don't laugh at me. I offended someone abroad and had to sell my overseas assets to flee back home. I'll see how things go in the next couple of days. If that doesn't work, I'll have to go somewhere else."
Jenny observed He Yuzhu in the rearview mirror and, finding that he didn't seem to be lying, stopped asking questions. About five minutes later, Jenny drove to the bank entrance. After letting He Yuzhu out of the car, Jenny drove to the parking lot.
He Yuzhu walked into the bank carrying two travel bags. Upon seeing him, the lobby manager immediately led him to the VIP reception room and had coffee served. He Yuzhu waited in the reception room for about fifteen minutes before Jenny entered with the contract, accompanied by a lawyer and three finance personnel.
After Jenny sat down, He Yuzhu said, "These two travel bags contain two million pounds. After deducting the money for the house, the rest will all be deposited into Lou Xiao'e's account." Then, He Yuzhu took a cloth bag from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it to Jenny, saying, "Give me an estimate; if it's reasonable, I'll sell it!"
Jenny took the bag, opened it, glanced at its contents, and said, "It seems Mr. He used to have a very large business!"
He Yuzhu said, "I just told you that we are blessed by our ancestors."
Jenny stood up, walked to the table, picked up the intercom, and said, "Connect me to Mr. Grant's office." After a moment, the call connected. Jenny said to the person on the other end, "Mr. Grant, please come to Reception Room One. There are some diamonds that need to be examined."
"Okay! I'll be right there." With that, Grant hung up the phone, grabbed his tools, and left the office.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!" A short while later, there was a knock on the reception room door. Jenny called out, "Come in!"
Grant pushed open the door and came in. He greeted Jenny and sat down, spreading the velvet cloth he was carrying on the table. Then he took the cloth bag from Jenny, carefully poured the contents of the bag onto the cloth, clipped the magnifying glass to his eyes, and picked up a diamond to examine it.
About half an hour later, Grant put down the last diamond and said, "Miss Jenny, these diamonds are of very good quality. In particular, the two pink diamonds inside are rare gems."
Hearing Grant's words, He Yuzhu, who was sitting nearby drinking coffee, thought to himself, "How could high-quality lab-grown diamonds in later generations not be exquisite?!"
Jenny considered for a moment and said, "Mr. He, the price of an ordinary diamond is about five hundred US dollars. But these diamonds of yours are all top-quality."
Before Jenny could finish speaking, He Yuzhu interrupted, "Miss Jenny, you don't need to tell me so much. I know the value of these diamonds. Name your price, and if it's right, I'll sell; if not, I'll keep them."
Jenny hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'd give two million US dollars for all these diamonds together."
He Yuzhu considered it for a moment, then said with a smile, "Fine, for Miss Jenny's sake, I'll pay two million US dollars for these diamonds. Deposit all the money into Miss Lou Xiao'e's account."
"No problem!" Jenny replied, then looked at the people counting the money and said, "We'll calculate it together after they've finished counting."
About half an hour later, the cash He Yuzhu brought was finally counted. The person in charge of counting the cash filled out a form and handed it to Jenny. Jenny looked at the form and said, "Mr. He, let's sign the formal contract!"
"Okay!" He Yuzhu took the contract, read it carefully, and signed it after confirming that there were no problems.
Jenny handed the signed contract to the lawyer and said, "Mr. He, please sit here for a while, I'll be right back!" With that, Jenny followed the lawyer out of the reception room.
