Chapter 333: The Vengeful Woman

He Yuzhu followed Huang Yuan out the door; the night was deep, and the streetlights stretched their shadows, making them grow long and short by turns.

Huang Yuan waved his hand to hail two rickshaws.

"Master, Beijiao, near Gongdelin," Huang Yuan said.

The wheels rolled over the stone-paved road, emitting a monotonous "clatter-clatter" sound, jolting all the way.

He Yuzhu leaned against the back of the seat, closing his eyes to rest.

The further they went toward Beijiao, the sparser the lights became, and the chirping of insects and croaking of frogs grew increasingly noisy.

The vehicles finally stopped in front of a lonely residence; beside the black-lacquered gate stood two burly men.

"Two masters, do you need me to wait?" the rickshaw puller asked.

"No need," He Yuzhu said.

Huang Yuan glanced at He Yuzhu, wanting to object, but he shook his head instead, leaving the words unspoken.

As soon as the two approached, they were stopped.

A bearded man widened his eyes and barked in a rough voice: "Who did I think it was? So it's you, kid. Why aren't you staying in the city properly? What are you running out here for?"

Huang Yuan hurriedly put on a fawning smile and said: "Brother Liu, Brother Zhao, my friend has a few girls from the south and wants to talk some business with Wuye."

The bearded man cursed and spat: "The boss is busy right now, where would he find the time to see you? Get lost! Come back tomorrow morning!"

"It's an urgent matter!" Huang Yuan leaned in closer, quietly stuffed a stack of banknotes into the bearded man's hand, and lowered his voice: "Make an exception, we won't treat you poorly after it's done."

The bearded man kicked Huang Yuan in the backside with considerable force: "Go on in! Watch yourself, the boss is in a bad mood today."

"I'm just introducing a profitable deal to the boss, don't worry, the boss won't blame you," Huang Yuan said, rubbing his backside with a sheepish grin.

He Yuzhu followed behind Huang Yuan, and when he walked up to the two Bodyguards, a cold glint flashed in his eyes; with a slight movement of his intent, the two burly men vanished into thin air.

Huang Yuan looked back and discovered the two had suddenly disappeared; just as he was about to open his mouth to shout, He Yuzhu had already chopped his palm against the back of his neck.

Huang Yuan let out a muffled groan, collapsed limply to the ground, and was immediately taken into the space by He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu quickly closed the gate and then activated the Scanning Function.

The results showed that in this large courtyard, there were only those two Bodyguards from before.

He Yuzhu followed the shrill screams to the Houyuan and found the west wing room brightly lit with candles.

He dipped his finger in a bit of saliva, poked a hole in the window paper, and looked inside.

Two women, their clothes torn to shreds, were lying on their backs on the kang, their hands and feet tightly bound with Rope.

Bolihua was using a cigarette butt to burn one of the women's arms. The woman screamed loudly.

His "hehe" strange laughter echoed in the night, like the screeching of an evil ghost, making one's hair stand on end.

He Yuzhu could no longer suppress the rage in his chest; he kicked the door open with a violent thud, and the wooden door cracked in response.

Bolihua turned in shock and lunged toward the quilt on the kang, trying to grab a gun.

He Yuzhu flicked his hand, and a Flying Knife precisely embedded itself into the hand Bolihua was using to reach for the gun.

Bolihua let out a miserable shriek, but he was not yet resigned; he raised his foot and kicked fiercely toward He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu dodged to the side and took the opportunity to smash a fist into the back of his head.

Everything went black for Bolihua, and he fainted on the spot.

The two women looked at He Yuzhu in terror, their bodies trembling all over.

He Yuzhu pulled out a gentle smile and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I am a soldier, I'm here to save you!"

The two women seemed unable to fully trust him yet, their eyes still filled with doubt.

He Yuzhu took out his officer's ID to show them. After confirming his identity, the two women finally breathed a sigh of relief, but their scantily clad state made them feel deeply ashamed, and they hurriedly pulled the quilt from the bed to wrap their bodies.

He Yuzhu nimbly cut the Rope binding them and took two sets of women's clothing from his backpack—which was actually from the space—and handed them over.

The tall woman put on the clothes, looked worriedly at the unconscious Bolihua, and whispered: "Benefactor, he has many subordinates! You..."

He Yuzhu understood their concerns and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, I won't let these people continue to do evil tonight."

The short woman gritted her teeth and said: "Benefactor, I want to kill him, he ruined our whole family!"

He Yuzhu nodded, tied the unconscious Bolihua to a chair, stuffed a cloth ball into his mouth, and said: "I am here tonight to seek revenge on him just like you. Do you want to go first, or should I?"

"I'll go first!" The tall woman took a leather whip from a rack in the corner and lashed out with all her might.

Every whip that fell left a bloody welt on Bolihua's body.

Bolihua had long since been whipped awake; he writhed violently in pain, but could not make a single sound.

The short woman found an awl on the kang and stabbed it directly toward Bolihua's chest, but was stopped in time by He Yuzhu: "Don't kill him yet, I still need to ask him some questions."

The tall woman said: "I'll ask!"

Hearing this, the short woman turned and stabbed the awl fiercely into Bolihua's thighs and arms.

Bolihua twitched all over from the pain, beads of sweat the size of beans seeping from his forehead.

"Hurry up and tell me the addresses of all your secret dens, and I'll give you a quick death; otherwise, we'll torture you all night!" He Yuzhu said coldly.

"I won't let you off, I have over thirty brothers!" Bolihua threatened weakly.

"It seems you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River." He Yuzhu handed a Dagger to the short woman and said: "Give him something stimulating, stab his thighs and arms; if he doesn't talk, just keep stabbing."

The woman took the Dagger and stabbed madly at Bolihua's legs.

The sharp blade sank into flesh again and again, and his two legs were soon covered in bloody holes.

Twenty minutes later, Bolihua's two arms and two thighs had been stabbed with dozens of bloody holes, and fresh blood stained the ground red.

Bolihua finally could not endure it anymore; he whimpered and begged for mercy.

He Yuzhu took the cloth ball out of his mouth.

Bolihua said in a faint, breathless voice: "Grandmothers, spare me, I'll tell you everything."

He Yuzhu had the tall woman start recording.

During the interrogation, He Yuzhu also specifically asked him for the names of his subordinates and the evil deeds they had committed.

In the end, it was discovered that almost every one of the more than thirty members of this criminal gang had several human lives on their hands.

He immediately decided to root out these scourges once and for all.

"I have asked everything I needed to ask; you two can proceed," He Yuzhu said to the two women.

Hearing He Yuzhu say this, the short woman immediately raised her Dagger and stabbed it fiercely into Bolihua's chest, stabbing him over a dozen times until she finally put the Dagger down under the persuasion of the tall woman.

It seemed this woman hated Bolihua to the bone.

"He is dead; what are your plans for the future?" He Yuzhu asked the two women.

"I killed him; aren't you going to lock me up?" the short woman asked timidly.

"Today, I am just like you—I also came to seek revenge on him. I will not hand you over to the government. Hurry up and pack your things, then go home!"

The short woman knelt before He Yuzhu with a "thud": "Thank you, benefactor. I have no way to repay you in this life, but I will serve you like an ox or a horse in the next life to repay your kindness!"

"Do not speak of what happened today. After you leave, I will burn this house down, as if nothing happened tonight," He Yuzhu said.

"Can we take some things with us?" the tall woman asked.

He Yuzhu nodded: "Take whatever you want."

He Yuzhu began searching for useful items with the two women.

After a careful search, they found some money, totaling thirty million in cash and ten Small Yellow Fish.

He Yuzhu did not take a single cent, distributing it all to the two women: "Take this money and go back to live a good life."

The two women kowtowed heavily on the ground three times, then shouldered their bags and hurried away into the night.

The flames shot up violently, spreading rapidly and greedily devouring this den filled with sin.

The sky-high fire illuminated the night sky in a blood-red hue, also reflecting He Yuzhu's resolute and cold profile.

His revenge had only just begun.

He would not let a single one of those names on the list escape.
