Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

But if we're talking about real skills, they're utterly useless.

After all, in today's realistic society, what truly gives people power and status is not money, but strong strength and outstanding skills.

People like them, who only know how to squander money but have no ability to expand their business, will ultimately find it difficult to achieve great things.

Normally, if it were ordinary people, people would probably choose to let things go and not get entangled with them too much.

After all, it's better to avoid trouble and there's no need to lower yourself to the level of these rich kids.

However, when they unfortunately encounter a powerful figure in the underworld like Du Feihu, the situation is completely different.

To Du Feihu, the meager wealth possessed by the likes of Liang Ming and Cao Huiyang was utterly insignificant.

Therefore, he completely disdained to pay attention to these arrogant and ignorant guys.

At this moment, Du Feihu tilted his head slightly, turned his gaze to Boss Wei beside him, and said calmly:

"Boss Wei, I have brought the person here as you instructed. What to do with him next, whether it's beating or punishing him, is entirely up to you."

Upon hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in Boss Wei's eyes, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

Without saying a word, he rushed forward, raised his strong arm, and threw a heavy punch at Cao Huiyang's arrogant face.

With a muffled thud, Cao Huiyang was struck so hard that he saw stars and screamed in agony.

A mouthful of scarlet blood, accompanied by several gleaming white teeth, shot out of Cao Huiyang's mouth like an arrow. After tracing a shocking arc in the air, it splashed onto the cold ground, forming chilling blood flowers.

At this moment, Boss Wei was clearly not satisfied. His eyes were wide open, his face was ferocious, and he raised his thick and powerful right leg and kicked Cao Huiyang's stomach without any mercy.

With a dull thud, Cao Huiyang instantly bent into an exaggerated arc, like a blade of grass battered by a storm, and collapsed to the ground in agony, like an injured shrimp.

He clutched his abdomen tightly with both hands, his face ashen, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, and he let out pitiful howls and pleas for mercy.

"You think you're so arrogant and tough? I, Wei, have never suffered such a humiliating defeat in my entire life of wandering the martial world! Today, I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

As he roared, Boss Wei strode forward and unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks on Cao Huiyang, who was lying on the ground.

Every punch was filled with boundless anger and resentment, and every kick was delivered with all his might, as if he wanted to vent all the pent-up frustration on this arrogant young man.

Poor Cao Huiyang was now completely powerless to fight back. He could only writhe and thrash on the ground like a fish on a chopping board, constantly uttering pitiful cries for mercy.

"Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong! Please, have mercy on me!"

However, his pleas did not soften Mr. Wei's heart in the slightest.

Just then, Boss Wei suddenly stopped what he was doing, a sinister smile appearing on his face, and slowly said:

"Let you go? It's not entirely impossible... but it depends on your performance."

"Your little girlfriend is quite pretty and attractive. If you just have her keep me company tonight, I might consider letting you off the hook."

Hearing Boss Wei's shameless words, Zhou Rong, who was standing to the side, was so frightened that her face turned pale. Her originally beautiful face turned ashen, and her big, beautiful eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.

Her voluptuous and delicate body began to tremble involuntarily, and she desperately retreated, as if trying to escape the demon before her.

Upon seeing this, Boss Wei's lips curled up slightly, and he let out a smug sneer.

He then ignored Cao Huiyang, who was still pleading on the ground, and strode towards Zhou Rong, who was trembling.

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Liang Ming felt his head buzzing and his skin tingling.

He looked around and saw that his friends all had terrified expressions on their faces and were trembling involuntarily.

At this moment, he knew he had to step forward and take on the responsibility of protecting everyone.

So, Liang Ming took a deep breath, composed himself, and mustered his courage to say to Du Feihu:

"Master Tiger, it was indeed my brothers' fault this time. They accidentally offended your distinguished guest. They deserve to be punished, and we have no complaints. But please be lenient and don't be so harsh on that young lady!"

Upon hearing this, Du Feihu's lips curled into a slightly amused smile. He looked Liang Ming up and down with great interest, then slowly began to speak:

"Hmm... what you said makes some sense. Considering that I've had a few meals with your old man before, I'll give him face."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming was overjoyed and quickly thanked him:

"Thank you so much, Master Tiger! You are truly a magnanimous person with a heart as vast as the ocean. After this matter is resolved, I will definitely come to your door in person to apologize!"

However, just as Liang Ming was overjoyed, Du Feihu changed the subject and continued:

"However, we can't just let all of you go like this. How about this, we'll leave these two behind, and the rest of you can leave."

As he spoke, he casually pointed to Cao Huiyang and Zhou Rong in the crowd.

The smiles that had been on Liang Ming's and everyone else's faces froze instantly, as if time had suddenly stopped.

They never expected that, despite thinking they could all escape safely, they would end up leaving two people behind as hostages.

The atmosphere became tense again, and everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

We've been friends for many years. If you abandon your friends now and don't care about their lives, then you shouldn't be in this business anymore.

"Why are you keeping them here? This is illegal," Ke Yixue couldn't help but question.

Upon hearing Ke Yixue's words, Liang Ming knew things were about to go wrong.

His girlfriend had never been exposed to the dark side of society; she had been so busy with school that she had become stupid and had no idea how terrifying Du Feihu really was.

Du Feihu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then burst into laughter.

"Someone actually said I broke the law? That's utterly ridiculous."

His expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly, "Everyone else get out of here, but these two girls stay here."

Du Feihu pointed at Ke Yixue, Le Baiwei, and Huang Zhirou next to He Yuzhu.

Among these girls, the three of them plus Zhou Rong were the most beautiful.

So he decided to catch them all at once, wanting to keep all the pretty girls.

Liang Ming was so frightened that his scalp tingled. He quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Master Tiger, you are a magnanimous person. My girlfriend is young and doesn't know any better. I apologize to you."

"It's good that you're young. I'll teach you a lesson, and you'll be obedient from now on and know who you shouldn't mess with."

Liang Ming inwardly groaned, determined to take his girlfriend away no matter what, and said anxiously:

"Master Tiger, please give the Liang family some face. My father will host a banquet to apologize to you later."

At this moment, Du Feihu's expression suddenly changed, and he picked up a bottle of beer from the coffee table in front of him and threw it at him.

Chapter 488 Rescuing Everyone

With a loud bang, a wine bottle smashed heavily onto Liang Ming's forehead.

In an instant, the wine in the bottle mingled with the blood gushing from the wound, pouring down like a scarlet torrent, soaking Liang Ming's head completely.

"Give face to your Liang family? Hmph, you go back right now and ask that Liang Laoliu if he dares to ask me to give him face!"

Du Feihu roared with his eyes wide open and his face contorted in rage.

His sudden change of attitude was like a thunderclap, leaving everyone present stunned and speechless.

Before this, who had ever seen such a terrifying scene?

In the crowd, a pretty little girl tightly gripped her companion's hand, her voice trembling as she said:

"Maybe... we should leave first! This place is too scary."

Her eyes were filled with fear and unease.

Although they are usually called brothers and drinking buddies, they are nothing more than a group of idle rich kids.

When it really comes down to it, what about brotherly affection?

They usually just get together to eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy themselves.

However, the terrifying scene before them was clearly beyond their comprehension.

When faced with real danger, fear instantly took over the group's mind, and their beliefs began to waver.

Moreover, among this group, only Liang Ming, Cao Ruiyang, and others came from wealthy families and had power and influence.

Even that foreigner Wilton was just wearing the skin of a foreigner.

He came from an ordinary family and didn't have much wealth; he simply managed to get a job at a foreign firm.

Therefore, for these local wealthy young men, Wilton was nothing more than someone they desperately wanted to curry favor with.

Sure enough, from beginning to end, Wilton huddled in a corner like a frightened rabbit, not daring to utter a sound, after all, he didn't have any powerful backing to back him up.

Du Feihu revealed a ferocious smile, and after viciously threatening them, he suddenly changed to a seemingly kind expression, and softly said to Zhou Rong and the other trembling girls:

"Hey, you guys, don't be so nervous! Actually, I just wanted to ask you to stay and have a drink with me to apologize. As long as we finish this drink, I promise I'll pretend all the unpleasant things that happened today never happened and I definitely won't hold it against you anymore!"

Seeing this, Sister Xia, who was standing to the side, quickly chimed in with a laugh, and said in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"That's right, my lovely young ladies! Don't be scared! Come on, let's all have a drink together, get to know each other, and from now on we're all family!"

Du Feihu and Sister Xia worked together seamlessly, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.

With each word spoken, the girls' tense nerves relaxed instantly, and their guard was lowered without them even realizing it.

Seeing that they were gradually letting down their guard and no longer as resistant as they had been at the beginning, Du Feihu waved his hand triumphantly, ordering his underlings to quickly step forward to stop the people who wanted to leave, and also to drive away the irrelevant bystanders.

At this moment, Zhou Rong's originally pretty face had turned deathly pale due to extreme fear, completely devoid of any color.

She finally realized that things were going badly and began to feel scared, wanting to find a place to hide.
