Chapter 117 Returning to the Previous World 8
"The most important thing in life is to have self-awareness. If something isn't yours, you'd better hand it over obediently. I advise you to be sensible."
Seeing that the little fish remained unmoved, Xu Fu's patience dwindled.
With a sigh, the last vestige of compassion vanished.
He nodded to the guard. "Alright, since you're not willing to talk about it..."
"Then you don't need to keep those two claws on your head..."
As soon as Xu Fu finished speaking, Xiao Yu's arm went limp and collapsed.
Unable to bear the pain, the person fainted again.
"Young Master, what should we do?!" The steward looked at Xu Fu and the others with a troubled expression, asking for their next instructions.
"Wake him up, let me ask him some more questions—" Xu Fu said somewhat helplessly.
If the other party is willing to cooperate obediently, then Xu Fu doesn't want to be driven to the brink of despair...
The butler acted swiftly, kicking Xiaoyu twice in the abdomen, and Xiaoyu groggily opened his eyes.
"Tell me if you want to, otherwise take the secret underground—"
Xu Fu looked on coolly and instantly thought of a way to deal with the people.
"Pah!" Little Fish spat out a mouthful of bloody foam with difficulty, and curled the corners of her mouth in disdain.
"Go investigate for yourself if you want to know."
"If you dare touch me, then bring it on! I don't believe you—"
"You mean you don't want to talk about it anymore?!" Xu Fu looked at the man with amusement.
Xu Fu stepped forward, his toe pressing directly into the other man's throat.
Pressing down inch by inch, the little fish instantly turned red in the face from holding its breath.
Its chest swelled, its body struggled violently, but its limbs were powerless.
No matter how the body moved, it couldn't break free from Xu Fu's huge feet.
Xu Fu saw the veins bulging on the small fish's neck, and the whites of its eyes.
He lifted his foot slightly—
The sudden rush of air into its lungs caused the little fish to cough violently.
Xu Fu, with his arm held high, looked down at the people and slowly asked a question.
"Are you willing to talk now?!"
The little fish remained silent, its eyes fixed on Xu Fu.
"Hmph!" Xu Fu scoffed, "Is he really worth risking your life for?"
"This is your last chance to live—"
"Will you talk or not?" Xu Fu stared intently at the man, giving him a few moments to consider...
"Hmph, if you've got the guts, you can kill me right now—" Little Fish gritted her teeth and stubbornly endured.
"Alright, since you're so loyal, then you can go down and keep her company."
Xu Fu smiled and said, "Considering we've known each other for so long..."
"I will show you mercy and grant you, master and servant, the bond of life and death!!!"
"Butler," Xu Fu beckoned to someone, then pointed to the little fish sprawled on the ground.
"Just lock him in the second young master's coffin, let them die together—"
"A coffin, a coffin—" The butler's eyes widened, staring at Xu Fu in astonishment.
Xu Fu nodded. "Hurry up!"
"Otherwise, if the second young master waits too long on the Bridge of Helplessness, this loyal servant might not be able to catch up with him tomorrow..."
"Young Master, what if someone discovers us..." The butler hesitated, wondering what would happen if they were discovered.
How could they possibly escape?!
"It's alright, just send the coffin away as soon as the city gates open tomorrow morning—"
Xu Fu said confidently,
"By the time they come looking for us, the coffin lid will probably be rotten!"
Xu Fu's main strategy was to strike unexpectedly, before anyone could react!
"You dare!" Upon hearing Xu Fu's plan to bury her alive, Xiao Yu's will to survive exploded.
The person struggled violently.
But no matter how much a person moves, they can only spin around in place.
We can't even get close to the door!
"Just send them away, out of sight, out of mind—" Xu Fu gave the order and turned to leave.
The steward, though somewhat resigned, had no choice but to obey Xu Fu's orders.
They brought along two guards and sent Xiaoyu straight inside.
Then, with nimble hands and feet, they nailed the coffin lid back on.
Hearing faint sobs coming from inside, the butler waved his hand...
Raise the volume of wailing and chanting by three points, and continue day and night.
Xu Fu returned to his courtyard, where the female protagonist had already occupied his main room.
Xu Fu could only walk towards the side room.
He'll come over after he's settled things with the male lead, and then he'll take good care of the female lead during her pregnancy...
The next morning, before Xu Fu had even woken up...
The butler has already had the male protagonist's coffin carried out...
By the time Xu Fu realized what was happening, the mourning hall was already being dismantled.
Seeing that they didn't need him, Xu Fu approached the female lead...
"It's all finished over there. From now on," Xu Fu glanced at the female lead.
"Live your life well, and give birth to the baby in your belly."
"What about the businesses outside?" The female protagonist glanced at Xu Fu, then looked at her own belly.
"How am I supposed to raise my child if I don't have money?!"
"Well..." Xu Fu was also a little flustered; he had already killed the little fish...
But the man just wouldn't budge, and there was nothing he could do!
All the person could do was helplessly say, "Let's not talk about those things anymore."
"I'll make money for you guys from now on."
Xu Fu silently pondered, wondering if he had taken out some from his spatial storage.
Or perhaps we should continue to tinker with some industries in this world...
"But I still have some worries," the female lead said, her brow furrowed with concern.
"Besides raising the kids, what else does he do outside—"
"Don't mention that person again," Xu Fu solemnly advised.
He didn't want the female lead to ruin his good mood...
Xu Fu reassured the female lead and told her to settle down in his own courtyard. Xu Fu then moved directly to the male lead's courtyard.
On the third day, Xiaoyu's father, the former housekeeper, finally came to the door.
"Young Master Xu, is Xiaoyu at your residence?"
The man, with a fawning and obsequious demeanor, respectfully inquired of Xu Fu.
"No," Xu Fu immediately denied, "I have never seen it—"
"Why don't you try looking elsewhere?!" Xu Fu suggested sincerely.
"Then, I'll take my leave first..." the butler said, though he was still somewhat skeptical.
But lacking concrete evidence, he could only leave disappointed.
Half a month later, another group of people came to Xu Fu's door, requesting an audience.
Xu Fu knew that the person behind it all had come knocking, but he simply didn't want to accept the challenge.
"I'm busy," Xu Fu refused directly, "The second young master just passed away."
"As the eldest brother, I really don't feel like entertaining guests. Let them go back to where they came from..."
Having not had enough of his leisurely days, Xu Fu was naturally unwilling to deal with the other party.
"Since they want the output from those three shops, let them have it."
This was Xu Fu's attitude.
If they don't know when to stop and insist on making trouble,
Xu Fu wouldn't mind going on a killing spree...
The steward understood Xu Fu's meaning and immediately urged the people forward.
The other people came twice more, but the butler wouldn't even let them in...
As for those who came looking for Xiaoyu, Xu Fu didn't even give them a chance to knock on the door.
