Chapter 318: The Wedding Night

Tian Dan shouted sternly, "Li Hua, release the hostages immediately! Otherwise, you will never have a good end!"

"Just by relying on you?" Li Hua sneered, the glass in his hand gleaming coldly under the lights. "There are over twenty of our brothers outside; today, none of you will survive!"

"Your men have already been dealt with, surrender!" Tian Dan held her gun steadily, the muzzle aimed at Li Hua.

Li Hua burst into a fit of wild laughter: "Do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Tian Dan sneered.

Just at this moment, "Bang! Bang!" two gunshots pierced the air.

Two other secret agents fell to the ground in response, blood blooming from the backs of their heads.

Seeing this, Li Hua's pupils constricted violently, and the glass in his hand stabbed fiercely toward Liu Haizhong's throat!

"Bang!"

Tian Dan pulled the trigger.

The bullet precisely pierced through the center of Li Hua's brow.

However, the moment he was shot, the inertia of his arm still carried the glass shard forward to stab, though the force was already very weak.

Liu Haizhong collapsed to the ground, his face covered in blood.

He Yuzhu stepped forward in a flash, laid him flat, and quickly wiped away the blood with a towel.

After a careful inspection, he breathed a sigh of relief—the glass had narrowly missed the vital blood vessels.

He nimbly performed a simple bandage.

At this time, Liu Haizhong was pale and asked with a trembling voice: "Zhuzi, can I still be saved?"

"It's nothing major, I'll give you a simple bandage, hurry to the hospital!" He Yuzhu said in a low voice.

The Police filed in one after another, gathered the people in the shed into a corner, and questioned them one by one.

Hu Yunbin approached tremblingly: "Master He, this matter really has nothing to do with me."

He Yuzhu patted his shoulder: "I understand. Actually, the police have long since obtained evidence of Li Hua and his group trafficking opium; they were just waiting for the right moment to make the arrests. You should smoke less from now on and slowly quit, otherwise, you will sooner or later fall because of this."

"Understood. Can we leave now?" Hu Yunbin asked urgently.

"I'm afraid not, you all need to go to the bureau to assist with the investigation. However, I will explain the situation to the leadership and will not pursue your other issues." He Yuzhu pondered.

"Then many thanks!" Hu Yunbin cupped his hands and said.

He truly did not intend to send Hu Yunbin to prison—if he locked up one Hu Yunbin, more people like him would just pop up.

It was better to keep him, as he could still be used to acquire some cultural relics, preventing national treasures from flowing overseas.

Xu Damao saw He Yuzhu's ruthless strike and was shocked to the core; he had better not provoke him in the future. This was a god of slaughter; no wonder he could kill American devils!

This sudden turn of events disrupted the wedding, but the Jia Family was secretly gloating.

Jia Zhangshi was in her own room, unable to close her mouth from happiness, "Showing off! Serves them right! I see that Zhao Yingzi's godfather isn't a good thing either, it's truly retribution! Let's see if Zhao Si has the face to show off to me in the future!"

Jia Zhangshi's younger brother Zhang Dayou was like sitting on pins and needles: "Sister, what do we do next? It's full of Police outside, won't they take us away too? How about we head back first, so we don't cause you any more trouble."

"Go back early!" Jia Zhangshi hurriedly dismissed her relative.

Liu Haizhong was sent to the hospital by Yi Zhonghai, and all the way there he was still shivering and asking: "Lao Yi, is my neck still bleeding? Why does it feel so painful?"

"Didn't He Yuzhu say you were fine?"

"What the hell does he know!"

"Zhuzi came down from the battlefield, he shouldn't be lying to you! Rest assured!" Yi Zhonghai pushed the flatbed cart and ran quickly.

Due to the homicide, the originally festive scene suddenly turned desolate.

Many children were locked inside their rooms by their parents, and only a few bold residents remained in the courtyard, peeking around.

When He Yushui was handing out candied Gourd to the children, she saw the Police carrying three corpses out of the East Cross Courtyard and was scared out of her wits.

He Yuzhu hugged her to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, these three are all dog secret agents, they deserved to die!"

"Yushui isn't afraid." The little girl said, biting her pale lips.

He Yuzhu knew clearly that even the adults avoided the corpses being carried out, let alone children.

He Yuzhu and Ershuan scrubbed the blood off the ground, and the waves of bloody stench made Wang Zhifu, who was helping, vomit several times.

"Uncle Wang, go back!" He Yuzhu said.

Wang Zhifu nodded.

Zhao Yingzi kicked He Yuzhu hard the moment she saw him. "You ruined my wedding, remember this, you owe me a big favor!"

He Yuzhu explained: "I had already agreed with the Police to make the move after the wedding banquet ended, but that shameless Liu Haizhong suddenly barged in, and those secret agents thought he was a policeman... Today's matter really isn't my fault!"

Zhao Yingzi stretched out her hand, "The five million in wedding gifts you promised, you haven't given it yet!"

He Yuzhu scratched his head and said: "I can't scrape together that much money all at once!"

"Don't try that with me, if you don't pay, I, I'll go eat at your house every day. Let's see if your mother will drive me away?" Zhao Yingzi said.

"Fine, I'm afraid of you, here!" He Yuzhu took five million from his pocket and handed it to her.

Zhao Yingzi stuffed the money into her pocket, revealed a victor's smile, and left, satisfied.

The moon rose to the center of the sky, and today the Siheyuan was exceptionally quiet.

Yang Ruihua warned Yan Jiecheng: "From now on, go to the East Cross Courtyard less, there are ghosts of those who died violent deaths there."

"Mother, why is this He Yuzhu so ruthless, killing two people in one go!"

"A cook deals with those bloody things every day, how could he not be ruthless? You stay away from him in the future!"

"I know!" Yan Jiecheng said.

Inside the bridal chamber, Jia Dongxu sat on the edge of the kang, feeling somewhat restless, his eyes darting around.

Zhao Yingzi was spreading the bed while saying: "Jia Dongxu, if you have something to say, say it!"

Jia Dongxu lowered his head and mumbled: "My mother said... the bride price your family received must be handed over to her for safekeeping."

Zhao Yingzi sneered: "I've just married in, and you're already eyeing my money? Tell me, is that what you think too?"

Jia Dongxu did not say a single word.

Zhao Yingzi said coldly, "My father said that the money was given by others out of respect for my godfather, and these are all favors that must be repaid sooner or later. However, he said he wouldn't touch a single cent of this money; he's saving it for us, and when we can no longer get by, he'll give it to us. You just tell your mother to give up on this idea!"

"I understand!" Jia Dongxu nodded submissively.

Zhao Yingzi took off her cotton-padded jacket, leaving only a bright red bellyband. She glanced at Jia Dongxu and then slipped under the covers, "Since we've started a family, I'm setting three rules today: first, all the money in the house will be managed by me from now on; second, we will share all the housework, don't treat me like a servant in your home; third, you need to properly persuade your mother to keep her mouth in check and stop offending people outside all day long."

"I'll listen to you," Jia Dongxu replied in a low voice.

"Take off your clothes and sleep," Zhao Yingzi ordered.

Before long, rustling sounds came from the room.

The next morning, Jia Zhangshi pounded on the door in the Zhongyuan so loudly it shook the heavens.

Just as Jia Dongxu was about to get up, he was held back tightly by Zhao Yingzi.

"Zhao Yingzi! Get up and cook! What time is it, and you're still not out of bed?" Jia Zhangshi shouted from outside the door.

Jia Dongxu sat up uneasily and whispered, "Yingzi, get up! If you don't get up, Mother is going to start cursing with nasty words."

"Let her curse. I will never get up at six o'clock to cook again. I don't even have a job, so why get up so early?" Zhao Yingzi pulled Jia Dongxu back into the covers again.

"I... I have to get up." Jia Dongxu reached for his clothes, but was kicked off the kang by Zhao Yingzi.

"Why are you using force?" Jia Dongxu said, feeling aggrieved.

"If I don't beat some sense into you, you'll never be able to stand on your own two feet in this life!" Zhao Yingzi scolded.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi was already standing in the courtyard, cursing loudly: "You slut, do you really think you're some noble young lady? You're nothing but a wild girl from the Northeast! You're asking for a beating..."
