Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 667

A series of problems followed one after another: the capital chain broke, the reputation was damaged, and partners withdrew one after another... The whole family was plunged into panic and confusion.

However, Liao Baoshan, as the head of the Liao family, was not easily defeated.

After the run on the bank gradually subsided, he was finally able to break free from the chaos and free his hands to begin investigating the mastermind behind it all.

With his years of experience in the business world and his keen insight, he launched a series of intensive investigations and tracking actions.

Hard work pays off. After several days of tireless effort, Liao Baoshan finally managed to focus his attention on two key figures: the owner of Hongfa Trading Company and Le Jiasheng.

These two individuals appear to have played a crucial role in this bank run, and their every move seems highly suspicious.

At the same time, another unfortunate piece of news came from one of Liao's branches.

Yesterday, this branch was violently robbed by a group of robbers, causing considerable economic losses.

Upon learning of this, He Yuzhu was extremely anxious. With a grave expression, he inquired about the specific details of the losses from Liao Lieying.

"The branch was robbed yesterday. What was the extent of the loss? Was it serious?"

Liao Lieying also looked anxious, but she still tried to remain calm and quickly replied:

"It's not too bad. Although hundreds of thousands were stolen by those despicable robbers, we still have some savings, so this loss is something we can afford for now."

However, if something similar were to happen again, the consequences would be unimaginable…

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded slightly, indicating his approval and satisfaction with the current result.

He looked firmly at the crowd, then said slowly:

"If you have any further needs or face any difficulties, please feel free to ask me without hesitation."

I will spare no effort to provide you with comprehensive support, and we will ensure that these thorny issues are handled properly as quickly as possible.

At this moment, Liao Lieying, standing to the side, beamed with a confident smile and excitedly interjected:

"Let me introduce you to my cousin, Liao Liechen. He's a truly remarkable person! With him here to assist us, we shouldn't encounter any more major problems."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu became intrigued and asked curiously:

"Oh? Could it be that only a master with internal strength cultivation like him has come to help?"

Upon hearing this, Liao Lieying's expression tightened slightly. She quickly lowered her head, then leaned closer to He Yuzhu, deliberately lowering her voice, and whispered in response:

"Oh, boss, you don't know this. Actually, besides my cousin, we also specially invited another extremely powerful expert! His name is Ji Xingyao, and he is a top expert who has already entered the Transcendent Realm! With the two of them working together, this crisis will definitely be resolved and we will be safe."

Since the Liao family had already made preparations, He Yuzhu naturally understood that saying more would be pointless.

After all, the fact that he possesses martial arts skills is currently unknown to outsiders, especially the Liao family.

At that moment, the two were having a pleasant conversation when He Yuzhu glanced over and saw an unusually tall white man slowly walking towards them.

At first, He Yuzhu didn't take this person seriously, thinking he was just an ordinary passerby who happened to be passing by.

Unexpectedly, a short while later, the white man walked straight to the table where they were sitting and stopped steadily.

"Aying, who exactly is this man?"

Liao Lieying looked up at the sound, and upon seeing who it was, she couldn't help but show surprise and blurted out:

"Andrew, what are you doing here?"

Immediately afterwards, she stood up and introduced herself to both parties:

“Andrew, this is my good friend, Mr. He Yuzhu.”

He then turned to He Yuzhu and said, "This is my classmate Andrew."

But to everyone's surprise, Andrew was now furious. He pointed a finger at He Yuzhu aggressively and questioned him without any politeness:

"Is this the blind date your family arranged for you?"

Faced with such a sudden question, Liao Lieying's face instantly turned extremely embarrassed.

She hurriedly waved her hands repeatedly and explained in a flustered manner:

"Oh dear, please don't misunderstand! Mr. He Yuzhu is a great benefactor to our Liao family, it's definitely not the kind of relationship you're thinking of!"

"Misunderstanding?" Andrew didn't quite believe Liao Lieying's words and looked at He Yuzhu with some suspicion.

Chapter 464 Judging by appearance alone, he is indeed a master.

He Yuzhu asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you didn't have a boyfriend? Who is this person?"

I did ask her before, and Liao Lieying said she didn't have a boyfriend. So how did a man suddenly appear and criticize my date with Liao Lieying?

Andrew was immediately displeased when he heard He Yuzhu say that. His face turned ashen, and he took two steps forward, reaching out his large hand to grab He Yuzhu's collar.

He Yuzhu wasn't going to let the other man get away with it. He grabbed the man's wrist even faster and applied a little force, causing Andrew to squat down in pain, groaning and moaning.

Grabbing Andrew by the collar from behind, he threw him forward with force, and Andrew rolled several meters away like a ball.

Andrew scrambled to his feet, clenched his fists, and charged toward He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu raised his foot and kicked, sending Andrew flying backward at an even faster speed than when he came, crashing into the tables and chairs next to him.

When Andrew got up again, he realized that the man in front of him was skilled in martial arts and that he was no match for He Yuzhu.

"You just wait and see how I deal with you."

After saying that, Andrew left in a sorry state.

Liao Lieying was dumbfounded. How could the two have started fighting in the blink of an eye? Andre had studied martial arts before, and three or five people couldn't get close to him.

How could she be so easily captured by He Yuzhu, without any chance to fight back?

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect Andrew to make the first move."

"It's none of your business. These foreigners are too arrogant."

At this point, the lobby manager arrived, asked what had happened, and reassured everyone. Things quickly returned to normal.

The two sat down again to continue their meal, and He Yuzhu asked who Andrew was.

“He was my classmate when I was studying in England. He had been pursuing me for a long time, but my family didn’t like me dating a foreigner, so I haven’t accepted Andrew’s advances yet.”

Liao Lieying didn't know why she explained things in such detail, but she still recounted the events that had happened before.

Andrew always considered himself her boyfriend, and he would either threaten or beat any man who appeared in his life.

However, the other party was not an ordinary family; they were powerful and influential, leaving Liao Lieying with no other choice.

The family didn't want to offend the other party, but they told Liao Lieying not to accept his advances.

You're saying Andrew's family is very powerful?

“Andrew’s father is a businessman who is very capable in the government.”

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu understood that Hong Kong was in a state of great chaos, with officials desperately trying to make money.

If a detective in Renault can rake in 5 million, one can only imagine how much these officials must have.

He Yuzhu now has a deep understanding of running a company. He has to give a large sum of dirty money to the district officials every month, otherwise he simply cannot keep the company running.

Andrew's approach is more like that of a government official and businessman, with collusion between superiors and subordinates, allowing him to leverage official power when necessary.

Liao Lieying said with a hint of reproach, "If you hadn't said so much, none of this would have happened."

He Yuzhu asked directly, "Since the other person is pestering you like this, do you actually like him or not?"

Liao Lieying's pretty face instantly turned bright red, and she said shyly, "I don't like him."

Andrew is very rude and domineering, and sometimes he makes decisions for himself without considering his own feelings.

Now that He Yuzhu has asked this question, I must explain things clearly to avoid leaving a bad impression.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "In that case, we should pay less attention to him in the future. He's still bothering you and me!"

Liao Lieying suddenly had a very absurd feeling. They were just ordinary friends before, so why was it like a lover's advice?

Suddenly, she felt a burning sensation on her face. She lowered her head and quickly ate her food, her mind filled with the thought, "Could He Yuzhu be trying to pursue me?"

The next morning, He Yuzhu learned from the newspaper that Hongfa Trading Company had been attacked the previous night, suffering significant financial losses and multiple people seriously injured and hospitalized.

Then came some warnings from the police, making it seem as if the foreign firm had suffered a great loss.

He Yuzhu guessed that this was a counterattack by the Liao family, after all, one of their branches had been robbed before, resulting in a loss of hundreds of thousands of yuan in cash.

It must be that the Liao family, having gone this far, decided to go directly to Hongfa Trading Company and teach them a lesson.

Before he had finished eating, He Yuzhu received a call from Liao Liewen, asking him to come to the bank in the morning if he had time.

He Yuzhu readily agreed, and after having dinner, they drove to the bank's headquarters in Sheung Wan.

In a reception room, besides Liao Liewen and his siblings, there were several other people, including Huo Yingdong and Li Jiacheng.

Once everyone had arrived, Liao Liewen immediately began to talk about what had happened the previous night.

"I was careless. I thought I would teach them a lesson by going to their door yesterday, but who knew they had set up an ambush inside the central bank, causing our people to suffer a great loss. Even our Ah Chen was seriously injured."

"Didn't the newspapers say that Hongfa Trading Company suffered heavy losses?"

Liao Liewen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "They have all the power to speak. They can say whatever they want. In reality, we have suffered a great loss."

Then he explained the matter in detail.

The Liao family had one of their branches robbed, so they couldn't let the other party get away with it. They arranged for Liao Liechen to lead a group of people to the headquarters of Hongfa Trading Company.
