Despite his exceptional martial arts skills, He Yuzhu is now caught in a pincer movement, facing enemies on all sides. The old adage "two fists can't beat four hands" is likely to come true.
Even though he was agile and had exquisite moves, and could barely hold out for a while, as time went on, his physical strength gradually gave out, and his eventual defeat became almost inevitable.
Such terrifying thoughts kept swirling in her mind, and the more she thought about them, the more anxious she became, as if an invisible hand was squeezing her heart tightly.
In an instant, she seemed to see He Yuzhu's miserable state of injury: his clothes were torn by a sharp blade, his body was covered with shocking wounds, and bright red blood was constantly seeping out, staining his clothes red.
His face was as pale as paper, but his eyes still showed stubbornness and defiance as he struggled to support his body.
The image was like a sharp embroidery needle, piercing her heart without warning. The pain caused her eyes to instantly well up with a thin layer of red mist, and tears welled up in her eyes, almost spilling out.
However, He Yuzhu seemed to be blinded by his obsession and turned a deaf ear to her earnest advice.
She was filled with deep concern for his safety, but he remained as stubborn as a stone statue, sticking to his own opinion and unmoved. How could this not hurt her deeply?
Her eyes were slightly red, tears welling up, her heart filled with helplessness and anxiety, like a lamb trapped in a desperate situation.
After much hesitation, she bit her lip hard, so hard that it turned slightly white, as if it would bleed at any moment. After a long pause, she finally mustered the courage to speak again: "Why don't you take Master Du with you? Master Du has been in this business for many years, he's incredibly experienced, and his connections are extensive. Having him by your side is like having an extra layer of protection; he might be a great help. After all, this journey is fraught with danger, and it's far too risky for you to go alone. A slight misstep could lead to utter ruin. Think about it carefully, Master Du has been in the martial world for many years, making friends with all sorts of people. These connections might find us a way out in a critical moment. The people he knows might be able to lend us a hand when the battle is at a stalemate and we're at a disadvantage, instantly turning the tide and changing the course of the entire battle."
"
Chapter 606
Her voice was filled with anxiety and helplessness, with a hint of humble pleading. Her eyes were full of earnestness, as if she wanted to pour all her worries into He Yuzhu's heart, hoping that he would truly listen to her this time and consider his own safety more.
In Lin Wanting's mind, this trip was like stepping into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, extremely dangerous.
Every possible scenario played out in her mind, and her heart was gripped tightly by worry.
She weighed the options in her mind repeatedly, knowing full well that the opponent she was about to face was a formidable figure like her master, who was unfathomable and ruthless.
For our own camp, every aspect, from military equipment to strategic planning, is crucial and cannot afford to fail. We must be strong enough to have a fighting chance in this upcoming showdown; otherwise, the slightest mistake could lead to utter destruction.
In her mind, it would be perfect if she could bring Master Du into her camp.
Master Du, a master of the highest level, is renowned in the martial arts world. His profound internal strength and superb martial arts skills are enough to make many opponents hesitate.
If I were to fight alongside Master Du, both of us being experts at the Transcendent Realm, such a combination might allow us to achieve a delicate balance in our strength.
This combination is comparable to their master and his companion.
In the upcoming fierce battle, our side will at least not be at a complete disadvantage. With the tacit cooperation and strong strength of the two, we can find a glimmer of hope amidst the clash of swords and shadows, and not be completely suppressed by the opponent at the beginning of the battle.
After weighing the options in her mind, she felt that this was the safest approach at the moment.
After all, the business world is like a battlefield, and the outcome of this battle is unpredictable. A slight mistake could lead to total defeat.
Master Du is highly skilled in martial arts and very experienced. If we can invite him to join us, even if the situation is unfavorable, everyone can escape unscathed under his protection and avoid a miserable defeat and losing everything.
Therefore, Lin Wanting solemnly and earnestly told He Yuzhu about the proposal, her eyes full of eager expectation, as if she had suddenly caught a ray of dawn piercing through the gloom in the boundless darkness of the long night, shining brightly, hoping that He Yuzhu would nod in agreement, so as to turn around the seemingly precarious and dangerous tense situation.
However, things didn't go as planned. He Yuzhu showed no interest in the suggestion.
He frowned slightly, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, like a small, quietly rising hill, containing unspeakable thoughts.
Immediately, his tone was calm yet undeniably firm as he slowly said, "Master Du has important matters at hand and doesn't need to be involved in this matter. The major project he's currently preparing for is closely linked to our overall future strategy; it's a delicate matter that can have far-reaching consequences and cannot afford the slightest mishap. He simply can't leave. Once that project is successfully completed, it will be of extraordinary significance to our future development, and he must devote himself to it wholeheartedly without any distractions."
That tone was firm and resolute, as if there were no variables in the world that could reverse the course of events, and everything had been properly arranged according to the predetermined trajectory, allowing no room for doubt or change.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanting felt a surge of anger rush to her head, and her whole body was ignited by rage.
Her eyes widened in shock and disbelief, as if He Yuzhu, who stood before her, was plotting something utterly absurd and utterly insane.
Immediately afterward, she stomped her foot unconsciously, her chest heaving violently, and shouted angrily, "What...what are you trying to do! This is practically suicide! How can you be so stubborn? Now is not the time to be reckless. We must plan this carefully! We still have plenty of time to sit down and come up with a comprehensive strategy. There is absolutely no need to rush off at this moment and face that unknown danger head-on."
In Lin Wanting's mind, He Yuzhu's decision at this moment was undoubtedly playing with everyone's lives.
This is no small matter. It is not just about He Yuzhu's life and safety, but it is about the future of the entire team. The slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. It felt as if a raging fire was burning in her chest, making her so upset that she didn't want to pay any attention to the person in front of her.
She turned her face away abruptly, her heart filled with resentment. Her once fair and jade-like face was now puffed up with anger, just like a round, cute but furious pufferfish. Her cheeks puffed out and deflated, as if silently venting her dissatisfaction.
Not only that, her chest heaved violently with this anger, and each breath was rapid and heavy, as if she wanted to release all the raging anger suppressed in her heart through this frantic panting.
Her rapid breathing made her clothes look stretched taut, appearing a full size too big.
His whole body trembled slightly from the anger, like a withered leaf swaying in the cold wind.
Looking at Lin Wanting's puffed-up face, which seemed ready to explode at any moment, He Yuzhu felt a sense of helplessness.
He opened his mouth, intending to explain, but swallowed the words back.
He knew all too well that even if he tried his best to persuade her, given her current emotional state, she might not listen or understand him.
Every decision I make is the result of careful consideration, but it's hard to explain in a short time.
He understood that Master Du had his own well-thought-out considerations, after all, Master Du had a more important mission to fulfill.
He himself, having spent a long time navigating the complexities of the world, was by no means an ordinary person, and he had his own comprehensive plan to deal with this thorny crisis.
Over the years, he has fought hard in the bloody world of martial arts, silently accumulating a deep network of connections and mastering many exquisite skills, which are by no means as simple and straightforward as outsiders perceive them to be.
Those close friends he secretly contacted and carefully cultivated, seemingly ordinary, could actually transform into powerful allies who could turn the tide at crucial moments.
However, the situation is not yet at its most urgent, so we must keep the secret for now and wait for the right time before we can unleash this hidden power.
Overwhelmed by exhaustion and frustration, he simply closed his eyes tightly, leaned back in the taxi seat, and began to rest.
The noise of the outside world seemed to be isolated by an invisible barrier, and everything around him was irrelevant. Neither the cries of street vendors nor the occasional honking of vehicles could disturb him in the slightest.
Before long, the taxi sped off from the pier toward Kai Tak Airport like an arrow released from a bow.
Along the way, the streets were bustling with traffic, and the neon lights on both sides were vying for attention, with red, green and blue lights intertwining and flashing. But these dazzling colors were nothing more than fleeting clouds in his and his companions' eyes, and could not arouse their interest in the slightest.
It was a relatively off-peak time for travel, and upon entering the airport, one could clearly feel the sparse crowds. Compared to the bustling crowds during peak hours, the waiting hall was exceptionally spacious and quiet at this moment.
In the spacious waiting hall, a few people were either walking or sitting, each immersed in their own little world.
In the corner, a man in a business suit frowned slightly as his fingers slid rapidly across the telephone blackboard, constantly refreshing the page, as if he were dealing with an urgent matter.
Not far away, a woman leaned back comfortably in her chair, holding a fashion magazine in her hands. She was focused, reading through the pages word by word, occasionally tapping the pages with her fingertips, as if savoring the exciting parts.
By the window, two old friends were chatting quietly, occasionally mentioning a funny story, exchanging a smile, and their low laughter echoed softly in the empty hall.
He Yuzhu stood tall and walked with firm steps, with Lin Wanting following closely beside him. The two walked steadily toward the ticket window side by side.
Upon reaching the ticket window, He Yuzhu deftly and skillfully pulled out his passport from his pocket, handed it to the ticket seller, and said calmly and steadily, "Hello, could you please buy us two tickets to our destination?"
The ticket seller's fingertips danced rapidly across the ticketing system, like a nimble dancer leaping across a stage.
On the user interface, flight information flashes and changes constantly, like a magical sprite, dazzling the eye.
The printer emitted a timely "buzzing" sound, as if announcing the completion of the task.
Soon, the two plane tickets were handed out smoothly.
He Yuzhu reached out and took it. His fingertips touched the thin paper and felt a slight warmth, as if the ticket still carried the residual warmth from the ticketing system's operation, or perhaps it contained the burning anticipation of embarking on an unknown journey.
After buying their tickets, they dragged their slightly heavy suitcases and found a relatively quiet rest area in a corner of the airport waiting hall to sit down.
The sofas in the rest area are soft and offer some comfort to weary bodies.
The surroundings were quiet, with only the announcements broadcasting flight information in a steady, unhurried voice, echoing in the empty waiting hall.
The overhead lights cast a soft glow, the light slanting down and clearly outlining the tired yet determined figures of the two on the ground, as if telling the story of the unknowns and challenges of their journey.
Inside the waiting room, announcements came on intermittently as the two chatted and waited patiently.
Not long after, a sweet voice came over the loudspeaker informing them that boarding for their flight was about to begin.
The two quickly ended their conversation, stood up briskly, picked up their light luggage, and joined the crowd flowing like a stream toward the boarding gate.
They moved steadily forward with the flow of people, their steps filled with the determination to move on to the next journey.
Going back to that special era, the global crude oil market had ample supply, and oil prices remained relatively low for a long time.
At that time, the aviation industry was highly competitive, and major airlines racked their brains to find ways to gain an advantage in the market and attract more customers.
Unlike the current clear distinction between economy and business class, back then the entire aircraft used a uniform, spacious business class configuration.
The seats are spaced far apart, allowing passengers to easily stretch their legs or even recline for a rest.
The in-flight service is also luxurious, with exquisite meals prepared by professional chefs and paired with fine wines, all to provide passengers with the ultimate comfortable air journey.
Stepping into the cabin, the rich, distinctive scent of new leather instantly enveloped me, a calming aroma that seemed to shut out all the hustle and bustle of the world.
The cabin features an extremely spacious seating layout with ingeniously designed seat spacing, allowing even tall passengers to stretch their legs freely without feeling cramped. This spaciousness creates a sense of comfort that allows for complete relaxation.
The seats are upholstered in top-quality, soft genuine leather that is warm to the touch and has a delicate feel. The airline’s iconic emblem is meticulously embossed on the leather, and the exquisite patterns are subtly visible under the light. Every line showcases the brand’s unique charm and profound heritage.
He Yuzhu and Lin Wanting entered the first-class cabin with composure and keen eyes, finding their seats one after the other.
When taking his seat, he moved swiftly and deftly, pulling up the seatbelt and locking it with a "click," completing the entire action in one smooth motion.
The two then quietly leaned back in their seats, their hands clasped naturally in front of their abdomens, and waited patiently for the plane to take off.
Outside the window, on the wide airport runway, planes, like well-trained dancers, taxi, take off, and land in an orderly manner according to precise scheduling.
The brilliant sunlight poured down without reservation, reflecting dazzling rays of light onto the metal surface of the wings. The light shone as if the plane was draped in a dazzling golden veil, gleaming brilliantly.
Stepping into this luxurious private jet, a sense of surprise and delight washes over you.
Inside the airplane, there were no typical no-smoking or no-drinking signs, reflecting a relaxed and free atmosphere.
The interior is extremely luxurious, with soft and supple leather seats that are ergonomically designed to gently embrace you, bringing unparalleled comfort, as if you were in a gentle paradise.
