Chapter Seventeen: Household Rules

  Wang Changhu said to the scout: "You go back to Taoyuan Library first, I'll send someone to rescue Xu Ying immediately."

  The scout replied: "Yes." He saluted and left.

  "Hello, is that Officer Liu? This is Wang Changhu, I need to talk to you about something!"

  "What's the matter?" asked Instructor Liu.

  Wang Changhu said: "One of our scouts was caught by the old madam of Taoyuan Shuguan, oh, you ask what reason?"

  Wang Changhu continued: "It seems like he had a conflict with a girl named Wang Tingyu and was detained."

  "Officer Liu asked: 'What do you need me to do?'"

  Wang Changhu said: "All enemies who offend our team must be eliminated from the sprout, I suggest capturing Wang Tingyu to our command center, and her maid, capture them first, put them in our command center, I want to torture her to death, see if she dares to offend us again.

  "Captain Liu was puzzled: 'This Wang Changhu is ruthless enough, now that the action is imminent, you still have the leisure to torment prostitutes and kill them, this trouble is a bit big.'"

  Liu asked for instructions from the young marshal, who said: "You forgot where he escaped from! Help him out and ransom Wang Tingyu. If the team members are rescued, that's all."

  Officer Liu was very angry. He immediately called the Shenyang Police Department: "Hello, I'm Officer Liu. Yes, I'm the current Northeast Army Commander. There are two Japanese spies at the Taoyuan Library, one named Xu Yingfa and the other Wang Tingyu. Also, Wang Tingyu's entourage should be caught and sent to my residence for interrogation by Colonel Wang of the Northeast Army Special Operations Battalion. Remember!"

  Liu instructor called Wang Changhu again and told him to get ready to receive someone later.

  Xu Yingfa now feels like he's just going through the motions, with the old madam's affection pouring out like a flood that's drowning him: when he's thirsty, she feeds him water; when he's hungry, she feeds him food and wine; when he's tired, she puts him to bed. And when she's in the mood, she demands that they sleep together, Xu Yingfa can't even remember how many times they've slept together, but whenever he's not in the mood, the old madam always manages to get him in the mood.

  The dawn has arrived, the air of early spring is so fresh and clean, but Xu Yingfa can't smell it. He looks at the morning light that shines through outside, wishing he had a pair of angel wings to spread and fly away from this love nest that brings him endless pain...

  Suddenly, the sound of police sirens came from outside the courtyard, and a group of policemen rushed in, heading straight for Lao Piaozi's and Wang Tingyu's house. A police officer knocked on Lao Piaozi's door: "Do you have a guest named Xu Yingfa here? We need to take him away, he is a Japanese spy."

  The old procuress turned pale with fright: "Have you got it wrong?"

  "The officer said: 'There's no mistake, look, this is a warrant for your arrest!' The officer then pulled out the warrant."

  The police officer said to the old woman, "We suspect that his accomplice is Wang Tingyu and her maid from your place, so she will also be taken away soon." The old woman was shocked beyond measure, and with a loud cry, she rushed into the house, scratching and beating Xu Ying. As a result, she was pulled open by the police.

  As the man was taken away, just as Xu Yingfa was about to get on the car, the old madam rushed over in tears and carefully wiped the scratches on Xu Yingfa's face, saying: "After you go in, be honest and confess, I'll wait for you here, I want to cultivate you into the most promising tea pot in Shenyang City, I'm waiting for you." After finishing speaking, she kissed Xu Yingfa once.

  The two scouts who came together with him suddenly vomited out their overnight food. Before they could laugh, their faces were already cramped.

  The police car drove forward with a low hum, its speed not very fast. The two detectives followed behind it, exercising their bodies as they went.

  The sky is getting brighter and the surrounding houses are clearly visible. The two scouts ran more and more in surprise: "How did we get back to headquarters?"

  The police car stopped in front of Captain Liu's house with a screech and the officer asked, "Who is Major Wang?"

  Wang Changhu said: "I am, this is my ID card;" As he handed over his ID card, the police officer looked at it in surprise, stood up straight and said: "Under the order of Instructor Liu, I have brought three prisoners, please receive them!"

  After finishing speaking, he took out a receipt and asked Wang Changtiger to sign it. After Wang Changtiger signed it, he ordered the rear car door to be opened, and the three people walked out one after another. Then the police car left.

  Xu Yingfa saluted: "Thank you, sir."

  Wang Changhu returned the courtesy: "It's good that you're back, return to your team."

  Wang Tingyu came before Wang Changhu, her eyes gradually reddening. Wang Changhu said with a smile: "I keep my word, I've come to pick you up!"

  Wang Tingyu suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Changhu's ear: "You little heartless thing, you want to scare me to death! Did you know that I heard the news of your being beaten to death, I wanted to hang myself..." Then it was three circles to the left, three circles to the right, three circles forward, and three circles backward.

  Wang Changhu's face turned pale and he cried out: "Big sister, please be gentle, spare me! Big sister, I beg of you!..."

  The soldiers didn't dare laugh and were extremely uncomfortable.

  Liu Xinyi walked over and said: "Sister, I'll help you deal with him later. There are a lot of people here, they're all his men, can you give him some face?"

  Wang Tingyu looked around and her face suddenly turned red, she let go of her hand and said to Liu Xinyi: "Thanks for the reminder, sis, let's go in."

  Several women followed Liu Xinyi in, Wang Changhu rubbed his ears and followed behind. Some soldiers around saw several women go in, everyone "oh oh" shouted; Wang Changhu glared at everyone and said: "Whoever gets less tonight's action will owe 500 more!"

  The cheering sound suddenly became much smaller.

  Wang Changhu followed a few sisters into the living room, everyone stood in front of the chair with an unclear expression. When they saw Wang Changhu coming in, all eyes were on him. Wang Changhu immediately understood what everyone meant, and he pulled Wang Tingyu saying: "Everyone come to pay respects to elder sister."

  Liu Xinyi and Li Xiaojie quickly greeted each other with a smile and exclaimed: "Sister is good."

  Liu Xinyu also called out in a twisted and hesitant tone: "Sister is good."

  Long Mei'er hesitated for a moment and then shouted: "Hello."

  Wang Changhu's eyes suddenly narrowed and he said "You say..."

  "Report, Dr. Gao and Huang are requesting your presence to discuss tonight's action."

  Wang Changhu pointed at Long Meier and said: "If you can call, then call properly. Otherwise, let me know what outrageous thing you did to Tingyu, I'll skin you alive! Hmph!"

  Wang Changhu walked out of the house and came to the room where Hu Jingzhong and others were, beginning to discuss tonight's action.

  Wang Changhu walked away; several sisters sat down at once. Liu Xinyi asked: "Sister, where did you come from, how did you get to know Tuzi, can you tell us?"

  Wang Tingyu said with a blush: "I met Hu Zi in a rather dramatic way..."

  Wang Tingyu recounted how she met Hu Zi, and everyone looked at each other in dismay; Long Mei'er suddenly said: "Then aren't you a prostitute, still wanting to compete with us for the position of leader, truly overestimating your abilities."

  Liu Xinyu said with a sneer: "Nowadays, prostitutes are all kept as concubines by others, forget about it, boss."

  At this time, Wang Tingyu's maid Xiaohong couldn't bear it anymore and said: "My mistress hasn't received any guests since she married the young master. You few ladies should show some respect, otherwise, if the young master finds out, he won't let my mistress be bullied."

  Liu Xinyu looked at Xiaohong and said: "No wonder it's from there, the mouth is really sharp. I don't know if you have any thoughts about Hu Zi, it seems that we will soon have another sister."

  Little Red's eyes turned red with anger, and she stamped her foot: "Miss, they're bullying me."

  Liu Xinyi saw that things were about to get out of control and hastily said: "If we don't enter one family's door, we're not one family. Everyone is here for Hu Zi, if we make a scene it won't be good for Hu Zi either. Let's all say less!"

  "As long as you let me stay by Hu Zi's side, I'll do whatever you want!" Wang Tingyu said with tears in her eyes.

  Long Mei'er smiled and said: "This is what you said, let Xin Yi call her to brew a cup of tea for us!"

  Liu Xinyi's expression changed as she said, "Mei'er sister, isn't this a bit too much? After all, Yujie knew Hu Zi before us, and we don't have the same close relationship with Hu Zi and Yu Jie. When doing things, you should think about leaving room for later."

  Liu Xinyu took over the conversation at this time: "Sister, you don't know that. That man is not a lecher, and Tiger is young, so it's normal to be tempted by others. Now that Tiger has us, why would he still care about those worthless things?"

  Xiao Hong took one look at these words and saw that they were all sarcastic remarks aimed at Wang Tingyu, so she angrily said: "I'm going to go find my brother-in-law to reason with him, you people are too much!"

  Long Mei'er and Liu Xinyu's hearts skipped a beat as they said: "You dare to, you cheap thing, I think you're tired of living."

  Two people went up and grabbed Xiaohong's hair, "slap slap" gave two big slaps, another one lifted her foot and kicked her legs, Xiaohong "thud" fell to the ground. Long Mei'er went up and stomped on Xiaohong's body with her feet, "slap slap". Wang Tingyu ran over to protect Xiaohong and shouted: "Hit me! Hit me! I beg of you...

  Wang Tingyu's scream startled Wang Changhu, who hastily ran over after handing over his duties. Upon seeing the scene, Wang Changhu let out a loud "Hai!" and with one swift kick, he gave Long Meier and Liu Xinyu each a kick, causing them to immediately spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

  Liu rolled to one side; Wang Changhu helped Wang Tingyu up, and Wang Tingyu was already frightened pale, muttering: "Beat me, beat me..."

  Wang Changhu was like he had been struck heavily, and his mouth was sweet: "Wow" spat a mouthful of blood. He pointed at the two people on the ground and said: "Come, come here."

  Hu Jingzhong and Huang Yifei rushed in immediately, took one look at Wang Changhu's appearance, and were shocked; Wang Changhu continued to say: "Hang them up for me and beat them severely."

  Liu Xinyi ran over and knelt down to support Wang Changhu, saying: "They will be beaten to death." Wang Changhu kicked him away with a "thud": "You also roll away."

  He picked up Wang Tingyu and walked her to the seat, helping her pat off the dirt on her clothes.

  Seeing Hu Jingzhong and Huang Yifei still motionless, he coldly said: "If you two don't move, you can also get out of here."

  The two men had no choice but to send someone to carry the two women out and hang them from the beam, find two horse whips, and "slap slap" started whipping.

  Liu Xinyi wiped the blood from her mouth and ran to the side to quickly call her grandfather: "Grandpa, come quick, my sister is going to be beaten to death by Tiger."

  Liu's instructor was taken aback, his head buzzing with confusion, and he quickly called up a company, driving the car straight to his home.

  As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted loudly and waved his hand, saying: "Set up a machine gun for me."

  Wang Changhu placed two chairs opposite the door frame where Long Meier and Liu Xinyu were hanging, he and Wang Tingyu sat down, while Liu Xinyi, Li Xiao, and Xiaohong stood behind them, admiring the two women being beaten.

  Officer Liu fired two shots, "pa pa", breaking the rope that was hanging the woman. He rushed to the front of the second girl and saw that she had been beaten until she fainted. Enraged, he pulled out his pistol and aimed at Wang Changhu, ready to fire. But Wang Changhu was prepared, and with a swift motion, he threw a silver dollar that hit Officer Liu's revolver, sending it flying.

  "Odd, when did Little Rabbit's martial arts skills become so high?"

  "Want to save them? Then take them away. Take Liu Xinyi too. See you later."

  Wang Changhu turned around and walked back into the house.

  Liu Xinyi couldn't help but burst into tears and sat on the ground, wailing. Instructor Liu was also stunned: "This... Wang Changhu is a beast! I'm going to collapse now."

  "General arrived!"

  Wang Changhu turned around and looked towards the door, only to see Shao Shuai walking in with a military uniform, walking up to the two women's side. Upon seeing their miserable state, he frowned and beckoned with his hand, and two female doctors came over. The doctors immediately gave the two women some simple treatment.

  General Shao helped Liu Xinyi up.

  "General, this is a family matter of mine," said Wang Changhu, frowning.

  "Mind your own business," said Xiao Shuai, "my sister was beaten up, I'm here to take a look!"

  After finishing speaking, Shao Shuai took out two strands of ruby necklaces and handed them to Liu Xinyi, saying: "Your sister-in-law asked me to give it to you two sisters as a gift for meeting each other, you take it first."

  Liu Xinyi looked up at Wang Changhu, who let out a sigh and nodded. Liu Xinyi then said, "Thank you." The young marshal smiled and said, "Is that all?"

  Liu Xinyi looked up and glanced at Wang Changhu again, Wang Changhu sighed and nodded, Liu Xinyu said: "Thank you, brother."

  The young marshal laughed happily: "Alright, I've brought your sister-in-law's intention, say it! How to deal with that bastard?" He pointed at Wang Changhu.

  "String him up and give him a good beating."

  Liu Xinyi immediately shielded Hu Zi in front of her, and handed the necklace back to Shao Shuai; Shao Shuai sighed and said: "Hu Zi, I admire you, they've all been driven away, but you're still hanging on, you little scoundrel is lucky! I don't care anymore, you guys can fulfill your own dreams."

  After finishing speaking, he became an onlooker.

  Wang Changhu led the young marshal and Liu into the reception room, and the two women were also carried in and awakened. The young marshal said: "Tiger son, there is still action tonight, do you think we should settle this matter first."

  Wang Changhu nodded slightly. He said to the crowd of women, "From today on, Tingyu is your elder sister. Everyone give her a cup of tea together. If you think this cup of tea is not suitable, leave this house immediately and never come back." Liu Xinyi and Li Xiaoduan handed over the tea that Xiao Hong had passed to them, and the two injured women also trembled as they offered tea to Wang Tingyu.

  Wang Tingyu drank and said: "Sisters, although I was born lowly, but since I entered the Wang family's door, I will not let anything that disgraces the Wang family's reputation happen. Today, I set a rule for our family: none of us are allowed to do anything that would make people laugh at the Wang family; if anyone does, sorry, they will kneel at the entrance of this living room, and only when the master agrees can they get up. Otherwise, even if you die, you must still kneel, those who cannot kneel are not members of the Wang family, do you understand?

  The girls replied: "Understood."
