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

"Thank you, Dad! I know what I'm doing, so don't worry! I value my life more than anyone else!" With that, He Yuzhu took two brocade boxes from his pocket and handed them to Lou Zhenhua, saying, "Dad! This is my betrothal gift for Xiao'e!"

Lou Zhenhua's eyes lit up when he heard He Yuzhu mention the word "betrothal gift." He took the brocade box, opened it, and upon seeing its contents, a bright smile spread across his face. He exclaimed, "Zhu Zi, this betrothal gift of yours is quite substantial!"

Tan Lingya had also turned her gaze to the brocade boxes. One box contained a pair of imperial green jadeite bracelets, and the other contained eight seal stones. Being a member of the Tan family, Tan Lingya was quite discerning. She said, "Zhuzi, either of these items could be a family heirloom. Are you willing to part with them?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Of course I'm willing! You've given me Xiao'e, your precious daughter. What else could I possibly be reluctant about?!"

Lou Zhenhua said, "I'll accept the things!"

Seeing that Lou Zhenhua was so agreeable, He Yuzhu finally felt relieved.

Lou Zhenhua then inquired about the situation on the mainland. He Yuzhu didn't hide anything and told him everything he knew. They chatted for about an hour. Seeing that it was getting late, He Yuzhu said goodbye and left.

After He Yuzhu left, Tan Lingya called Lou Xiao'e to her side and asked, "Xiao'e, don't you regret following He Yuzhu like this?!"

Lou Xiao'e replied with a smile, "Mom! I made my own choice, and I won't regret it. Besides, I lack nothing except for him not being by my side."

Lou Zhenhua said, "So many years have passed. He Yuzhu has become much more mature than before. If the current circumstances weren't so restrictive, I would really like to hand over the entire business to him."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Dad, to be honest, Brother Zhu really doesn't care about what we have." Then Lou Xiao'e told Lou Zhenhua and Tan Lingya about the cash and gold stored in the basement of the villa. The two were even more surprised after hearing Lou Xiao'e's account.

After leaving Lou Xiao'e's place, He Yuzhu didn't go straight back to the hotel. Instead, he went to the vicinity of Taikoo Wharf. Looking at the bustling wharf, He Yuzhu found a place to sit down. He then spread his divine sense outwards. Not long after, He Yuzhu found the warehouse where the equipment was stored. He used his divine sense to collect the equipment in the warehouse into his spatial storage. Just as he was about to withdraw his divine sense, he felt that taking these things would be too easy for the foreigners. So, He Yuzhu decided to go all the way and collect everything from the adjacent warehouses. Afterwards, He Yuzhu hailed a taxi.

Half an hour later, He Yuzhu returned to the hotel. Entering his room, He Yuzhu said to Hong Changxing, "Old Hong, contact our people here. I just went out and used my connections to get the equipment the foreigners had seized out of us. Have them prepare two warehouses; they'll deliver the equipment a little later. But tell them not to leave anyone at the warehouses. They don't want to see outsiders and cause trouble for themselves."

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Hong Changxing and Lan Gongwang exchanged a glance. Hong Changxing said, "I'll go make a call now." With that, he grabbed his coat and left.

About fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on the door. He Yuzhu went to the door, opened it, and saw Hong Changxing standing there. He immediately stepped aside. Hong Changxing entered the room and, after He Yuzhu closed the door, said, "The warehouse is ready. Here is the warehouse address!" He then took out a piece of paper and handed it to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the paper, glanced at the address written on it, then took out a lighter and burned the paper, saying, "Let's go! Let's go eat!"

Just as He Yuzhu led Hong Changxing and Lan Gongwang into a tea restaurant for lunch, the 14K gang discovered their warehouse had been robbed. The entire dock was quickly sealed off. Whether the thugs could find the stolen goods was none of He Yuzhu's concern. After lunch, He Yuzhu took Hong Changxing and Lan Gongwang back to the hotel.

Time flew by like water, and it was already seven o'clock in the evening. It was completely dark. He Yuzhu said goodbye to Hong Changxing and Lan Gongwang, then went out. Upon reaching the vicinity of Chaiwan, He Yuzhu quickly located the warehouses arranged by his superiors using his divine sense. After scanning the area with his divine sense to confirm that no one was around, He Yuzhu placed the equipment, along with the canned goods and grain he had plundered from the other warehouses, into the two prepared warehouses, and then left quietly.

The next morning, after checking out of their hotel, He Yuzhu and his two companions ate breakfast at a nearby stall and then took a taxi to Kai Tak Airport. Just as they arrived at the airport, our comrades in Hong Kong went to the warehouse in Chai Wan. They were shocked to see the mountain of items piled up inside. However, they quickly recovered, inventoried the contents, confirmed it was the seized equipment, and immediately contacted Mr. Huo. Mr. Huo already knew about the theft of 14K's equipment. Fearing complications, he immediately dispatched two boats to transport the stolen goods.

A little after 3:40 PM, the plane landed at Singapore Airport. After disembarking, He Yuzhu and the other two walked out of the airport, and Hong Changxing asked, "Where are we going now?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Contact our people here and find out when the other group will arrive."

Lan Gongwang asked, "We don't have any money here, so we can't make a phone call."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Follow me!" He then led the two to a nearby currency exchange. After the people in front of them left, He Yuzhu went to the window, took out one thousand US dollars, and handed it in. The woman in charge of currency exchange took the money from He Yuzhu, counted it, and after confirming that the money was correct, exchanged the US dollars for new dollars according to the exchange rate of the day, and handed it to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the money, counted it, divided it into three parts, kept one for himself, and gave the other two to Hong Changxing and Lan Gongwang respectively. Then he took the two of them onto the bus to the city.

"Ring! Ring!" At the same time, the phone on Zhang Hu's desk rang. Zhang Hu picked up the phone, but before he could speak, a hearty laugh came from the other end, saying, "Old Zhang, your people here are really something!"

Zhang Hu was stunned by these nonsensical words. After a few seconds, Zhang Hu came to his senses and asked, "Old Qu, what's going on?! Explain yourself!"

Qu Hongguo said, "Didn't the foreigners seize a batch of our equipment in Hong Kong?!"

"Yes! I know about this!" Zhang Hu replied. Qu Hongguo then asked, "Your comrades in Hong Kong helped us get the equipment out. It's already on Mr. Huo's cargo ship. It should arrive in Guangzhou by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
