Siheyuan: The rise and fall of the He family is our responsibility

"Thank you, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how I would go on living." Yu's mother knelt on the ground, holding her two daughters who were lost and found, and kept expressing her gratitude to He Yuzhu.

When He Yuzhu saw Yu's mother kneeling down, he quickly stepped aside to avoid this great gift.

"Auntie, what are you doing? It's just a simple task. You don't have to do this." As he said this, he forcibly helped Yu's mother up.

"You must take good care of them next time. If you lose them again, I may not be able to find them for you."

"I will definitely, definitely, never lose them again." Yu's mother hugged her two daughters tightly, as if she wanted to merge them into her body.

"It's OK as long as you have this awareness. Well, my sister is waiting for me to go back for dinner. I'll leave first." He Yuzhu leaned over and touched the little heads of Yu Li and Yu Haitang, and said with a smile: "Goodbye, two little ones."

"Goodbye, Brother Yuzhu." The two sisters answered in unison, staring at He Yuzhu's departing back, engraving this person in their hearts forever.

..................

It was already afternoon when He Yuzhu returned to Master Ye's house. Master Ye did not ask He Yuzhu whether he had found it.

When Master Ye saw the relaxed look on his face and the dust on his body, he already had the answer.

After He Yuzhu ate the meal that his chef had heated up for him, he took his sister back to Taifenglou.

As the New Year approaches, He Yuzhu becomes busier and busier, and Taifenglou's business becomes more prosperous.

One day at noon, a group of five people walked into Taifeng Building.

These five people were none other than Master Lin and his son Lin Langtian, who had clashed with He Yuzhu last time, except this time there were three more disciples from their martial arts school.

Seeing Master Lin coming, Manager Ma greeted him warmly: "Welcome, Master Lin. Would you like to sit in the lobby or in a private room this time?"

"Let's just have it in the lobby today. Serve me six more of your signature dishes."

"Okay, go in and sit down first, I'll make arrangements for you."

After finding a table and sitting down, Lin Langtian discovered that the person pouring tea for them this time was not He Yuzhu, so he said contemptuously: "Dad, why didn't I see the waiter from last time this time? Could he have been fired?"

"You can ask Manager Ma when he comes later." Master Lin said calmly with his eyes closed.

Master Lin also had some impression of He Yuzhu. After all, it was rare to find such a young martial artist. If he had not embarrassed his own son, Master Lin might have been merciful enough to accept him.

"Junior brother, what's so great about a mere waiter? Wait and see how I will help you vent your anger later."

"That's right. Since he has offended you, don't blame us for seeking justice for you."

"Two brothers, please be patient. Let me go up and test his bottom line first. It won't be too late for you to go up later."

Although the three of them were senior brothers, the flattery in their tone was extremely obvious, which made Lin Langtian even more arrogant.

At this time, the sharp-eyed Master Lin discovered that a group of people in uniform were walking towards Taifeng Building.

When Master Lin saw that the leader was actually Captain Wang, a bright smile immediately broke out on his face and he went out to greet him.

"Long time no see, Captain Wang." Master Lin stepped forward and clasped his fists.

Captain Wang also clasped his fists and responded, "Yes, Master Lin, are you here to have dinner at Taifeng Tower?"

"That's right, how about you come to our table to eat something and catch up with us." Master Lin said in a flattering tone.

If it were in the past, Master Lin would not have to try so hard to please a captain. After all, the government is the government, and the underworld is the underworld, and the two have always kept their distance from each other.

But recently, Master Lin heard some rumors that the higher-ups wanted to thoroughly clean up this underworld that has existed for thousands of years.

This immediately made the leading figures in the martial arts world panic. It was not that the imperial court had wanted to punish them in the past, but all of them were fights of flesh and blood. Even if the martial arts world with so many masters was no match for the regular army, they could still replace five or six people with one person in a desperate resistance.

When the imperial court realizes that the cost outweighs the gain, it will naturally stop fighting, and both sides will return to their previous state of non-interference.

But the situation is very different now. In the movement fifty years ago, the foreigners used their guns and cannons to tell them what it meant to say, "Sir, times have changed."

No matter how strong your iron shield is, you can't withstand even a single bullet. No matter how powerful your martial arts are, you can't even get close to them under the barrage and will be shot into a sieve.

These were still relatively primitive weapons. As weapons became more and more sophisticated, the confidence of the martial arts masters became weaker and weaker.

By now they had no doubt that if they dared to resist, they would probably die miserably on the spot before they could even kill one person.

So now that they heard that the higher-ups were going to punish them, everyone was looking for a way out, and the person Master Lin chose was none other than Captain Wang, who had recently made great contributions and was in the spotlight.

But unfortunately, although Master Lin had lowered his attitude sufficiently, Captain Wang still did not intend to give him face, and perfunctorily said: "I'm sorry, Master Lin, I still have a mission to complete, so I won't bother you anymore."

"Okay, then I won't disturb you from performing your duties. I hope you can do me the honor next time." Master Lin returned to his seat tactfully. Although he said he would not disturb him, he still glanced at Captain Wang out of the corner of his eye, wanting to see what he was planning to do in Taifeng Building.

"Dad, isn't he just a lousy captain? Do you have to put on that attitude?" Lin Langtian looked at the imposing Captain Wang and said with some jealousy.

Although the three disciples on the side didn't say anything, their expressions showed that they were annoyed at Captain Wang's lack of respect.

Seeing the dissatisfaction of several people, Master Lin said coldly: "Remember, he is not someone you can afford to offend. If you dare to provoke him, don't blame me for expelling you from the sect!"

After saying that, he turned to look at his son who looked indifferent and emphasized, "And you, too."

"Yes, Master/Father."

The four of them nodded quickly in response.

On the other side, Captain Wang has found Manager Ma and told him the purpose of his trip.

"Captain Wang, what do you want to see Master Xiao He for?"

Seeing Manager Ma's expression of "Has he committed any crime?", Captain Wang quickly explained: "He has not committed any crime, just let him come over."

After hearing what Captain Wang said, Manager Ma brought He Yuzhu over with some doubts.

After seeing He Yuzhu, Captain Wang saluted him and said solemnly: "Comrade He Yuzhu, now on behalf of the Sijiucheng Police Station, I commend you for your outstanding contribution in this operation!"

After saying that, Captain Wang took a box from the team member behind him and opened it to reveal a medal inside.

"This is the Second Class Medal of Merit awarded to you by my superiors. I hope you can continue to work hard and make contributions to our great homeland security."
