Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 235

Soon we arrived at the warehouse yard. It was surrounded by warehouses on all sides, with no windows at the back and doors opening into the yard, ensuring the safety of the goods.

He Yuzhu used his mental energy to investigate, and after circling halfway around, he sensed a large quantity of silk inside the warehouse.

Although Andrei had received a shipment, it was clear that the warehouse already contained more goods than he had ordered, confirming that Andrei had taken his goods.

It wasn't that he was careless; the warehouse only had one main entrance, and there were several armed guards inside. Without a team of men, it would be impossible to take over the warehouse.

If that were to happen, it would definitely alert other people, and then the goods in the warehouse wouldn't be taken away.

Unfortunately, Andrei never imagined that there was someone like He Yuzhu in the world; he was sure to be in big trouble this time.

Having confirmed that Andrei was the thief who stole his belongings, He Yuzhu felt much more at ease.

If it really wasn't him, then checking other people would be quite a troublesome thing.

That should solve the problem. All we need to do is deal with the five guards and then empty all the warehouses.

He Yuzhu leaped onto the roof and then climbed down from the corner.

I just checked and there were 5 people, but 3 of them were already asleep, and only 2 were sitting in the guard room chatting and keeping watch.

He Yuzhu simply picked up a pebble and threw it onto the eaves, making a sound that alerted the people inside the gatehouse.

The door to the guardhouse was opened, and a burly man came out cursing and looking around. He simply tucked his gun behind his back and showed no sign of vigilance.

He Yuzhu lightly touched the ground with his toes and darted directly behind his opponent. He struck the person with a wooden stick, instantly knocking them unconscious, and then stored them in his spatial storage.

The people in the guardhouse noticed that the person who went out to check had stopped moving, so they couldn't help but come out with their guns to investigate.

He Yuzhu was quite cautious just now, but now that he's the only one who's sober, he's made his move.

The person who came out only saw a figure flying by, and before they could figure out what was happening, a sharp pain shot through their head, their eyes closed, and they fainted.

He Yuzhu relaxed. Fortunately, he had advanced to the Core Formation stage; otherwise, he would not have been able to deal with the guards so easily. There would have been a conflict before they could be dealt with.

Chapter 175 Resolving Andrei

Knock out the two guards, and the remaining three who are fast asleep are easy to deal with. Just open the door, go in, and put them into the space.

The rest was simple: I got the warehouse keys from the duty room and then opened all the warehouses.

After entering, I took stock of the goods. All the goods in my two wagons were there, so I put them away first.

He Yuzhu, of course, would not give up so easily, and then put all the goods in the four warehouses into his spatial storage.

The two trucks in the yard were also brought in, along with several oil drums filled with diesel fuel, and some repair tools and engine oil were all collected.

That's great, now that we're back in Beijing, I'll have a truck to use.

Looking at the empty warehouse, He Yuzhu nodded in satisfaction. They really were taking advantage of him, thinking he was a pushover.

Andrei's attempt to steal a chicken backfired, as the vast amount of supplies in the warehouse were worth more than this batch of silk fabric.

If it is sold gradually in the capital this time, the total value could exceed one or two hundred thousand.

Although He Yuzhu became rich overnight, he did not intend to let Andre go. He opened the warehouse door and then went to Andre's villa.

The villa wasn't far away, and He Yuzhu quickly arrived outside.

The security here is much laxer, and the guards in the duty room are fast asleep, slumped over their desks.

He Yuzhu opened the door directly. Before the other person could even wake up, he slammed the stick down and then casually pulled the person into his spatial dimension.

Then they brazenly entered the villa, where the maids' quarters were downstairs, and knocked them unconscious and brought them in.

The wealthy live in nice houses; the villas are spacious and elegantly decorated, with unknown oil paintings hanging on the walls.

He Yuzhu went up to the second floor along the round handrail, quickly found the master bedroom, pushed open the door, turned on the light and walked in.

He didn't bother communicating with the ordinary henchmen outside, but now that he had captured Andrei, He Yuzhu didn't want him to disappear without a trace.

Andrei was very happy today. Yesterday he only spent a little money to buy a cartload of silk, and then he launched a surprise attack last night and brought all the goods back.

I had spent a pleasant night with my lover, and we had only been asleep for a short while when the bedroom light was turned on.

Fighting off his sleepiness, Andrei opened his eyes and shouted, "What happened? If it's nothing serious, I'll send you to Siberia to mine coal."

"Is that so? Even if you wanted to go to Siberia to mine coal, it probably wouldn't work out."

Upon hearing the obvious foreign accent, Andrei snapped out of his daze. Looking closer, he recognized the Chinese man who was with Elena.

"It's you? How did you get in?" Andrei questioned as he reached for the pistol under his pillow, but the gun he always kept under his pillow was gone. Andrei searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

Andrei was a little confused. The gun was there every day, so how come it disappeared when someone finally broke in at night?

He Yuzhu said, "Andrei, I never expected you to steal my goods. You're really not afraid of death!"

"What goods? I don't know anything about them. Is there some misunderstanding?"

Despite He Yuzhu's unexpected intrusion into the bedroom, Andrei continued to lie through his teeth.

"Really? Is there some misunderstanding?"

He Yuzhu's question caused Andrei's brain to freeze. Yes, how could he say it so that the dark muzzle of the gun wouldn't be pointed at him?

Andrei forced a smile and said, "Of course it's all a misunderstanding, this... I..."

"Let's see how you make this up!"

Andrei was in despair. The pistol he had placed under his pillow had disappeared. Half a day had passed, and no one had come to his rescue. Had the guards also been killed?

"Brother, no, sir, the silk is all in the warehouse. Please let me go, and I'll get you the money right away."

"Money? What money?"

Andre said obsequiously, "I've already converted the money for your silk fabric into gold, and I'll give it to you right now."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and got off the bed, intending to walk towards the other wall.

He Yuzhu had already scanned the wall and discovered a hidden safe containing property deeds, cash, jewelry, and a considerable amount of gold.

Everything was put into the safe immediately, so it's just an empty box right now.

Anyway, He Yuzhu wasn't in a hurry and quietly watched the show.

Andrei went to the wall, ripped off the painting that was covering it, and hurriedly went to open the safe, saying, "Please wait a moment, I'll give you the money right away."

As long as he could save his life, Andrei didn't care about money; he was willing to give it all to the Chinese man in front of him, as long as he could live to see the next day, he could use his connections to find the Chinese man.

This is Moscow, after all, and his own territory. No matter how capable this Chinese man is, Andrei believes that he will ultimately be the victor.

I've had contact with many Chinese people, and they're all rather timid. Even if they're bullied, they won't make a scene; they'll make up if given a way out.

Andrei quickly opened the safe, and the smile on his face instantly froze. He looked at the empty safe in disbelief.

Where did all my gold and silver jewelry, cash ledgers go?

At this moment, He Yuzhu said, "Foolish! All the money in this safe is mine. How can you try to use my money to buy my silk?"

"No...this..."

Andrei couldn't figure out what was going on. Had his wife run off with the money?

He Yuzhu watched for a while as Andrei looked sad after losing all his possessions, then, too lazy to say anything more, pointed the gun he found under the pillow at Andrei's forehead.

With a "bang," Andrei's head lolled to the side, and he lay on the carpet, blood splattering everywhere.

He Yuzhu never intended to let Andrei live; no one could embezzle his goods and escape justice.

The gunshots startled Andrei's wife in the nearby bedroom, who cried out, "Andrei, what happened?"

The two had long lost their feelings for each other, and usually did their own thing, and of course slept separately at night.

He Yuzhu didn't say anything. Just a few minutes later, Andrei's wife called his name and then burst in.

"Oh my goodness!"

The voluptuous wife had just entered when she saw Andre lying in a pool of blood. She had barely uttered a word when He Yuzhu knocked her unconscious and took her into his spatial storage.

He left the bedroom, which reeked of blood, and went to the second bedroom. He packed his wife's clothes into a suitcase, showing signs of fleeing.

He had already come up with a plausible explanation: his wife and servant were having an affair, which Andrei discovered, and then Andrei was murdered, while his wife and servant absconded with the money.

After all, the police couldn't find any trace of Andrei's wife and servants; they were nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead. Such speculation is quite reasonable.

As for the warehouse, He Yuzhu was too lazy to think about it. Anyway, if the goods were lost or the people went missing, it wouldn't be his responsibility.

After tossing his suitcase into his spatial storage, He Yuzhu came out of the villa and glanced at the car, noticing a ZIS sedan inside.

It is worth noting that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Stalin gave five bulletproof cars to the leaders, one of which, a ZIS-115, became the official vehicle of the top leader.

吉斯115长6m、宽近2m的车身被安装了8mm厚的装甲、70mm厚的防弹玻璃，能有效阻挡子弹及弹片，借助一套液压系统才能升降。

The chassis is fitted with heavy steel armor plates, capable of withstanding the impact of landmine explosions. The interior also features a retractable central glass partition separating the passenger compartment from the driver's area, providing both bulletproof protection and secrecy. This vehicle was the leader's lifelong car. The entire car weighs 7.72 tons.

Of course, the car in front of us is not an armored vehicle, but a ZIS-100, which is still a relatively high-end sedan at the moment.

He Yuzhu looked around for a while. The car was still about 70-80% new, but he didn't mind. Back then, the cars in Beijing were all old cars from before the liberation, much more dilapidated than the one in front of him.

Even those that are so dilapidated, only the more upscale ones have private cars.

He Yuzhu got into the car, started it, and drove off with a burst of speed.

He Yuzhu didn't foolishly drive back. Instead, he went to a secluded place and put the item into his spatial storage.

Then he used his light-footed skill to return to Elena's residence.
