Chapter 114 Returning to the Previous World 5
"Help me, old man, child, help me—" the housekeeper's wife pleaded with the people.
"Husband, husband, save me! I don't want to be sold to a brothel!"
"And I'm carrying your child," the aunt said, breaking free from the matchmaker's grasp.
He pounced directly on the male protagonist—
However, the bodyguards Xu Fu brought back were no ordinary men; they kicked the man back with a single kick.
Seeing that people were about to cause trouble again, Xu Fu waved his hand impatiently.
"Send them away quickly, the farther the better!" Xu Fu turned to look at Xiao Yu.
"I'm letting you go!"
"If you want revenge, feel free to come looking for me later—"
"I will never change my name or surname!" Xu Fu waved his hand.
Xu Fu had the bodyguards take the man away again, and then handed over the indentures of the steward's entire family.
Amidst the murderous glares of the five men, Xu Fu accepted a silver note and three or four taels of loose silver.
Aside from the concubine fetching a high price of 30 taels, the steward sold for eight taels, and his wife for five taels…
As for the two elders, Xu Fu symbolically accepted five taels of silver.
After sending the steward and his family away, all that remained were the servants of the manor.
Xu Fu had a contract of servitude, so he simply returned Mai Shengqi to the other party.
Then let them leave immediately, without taking a single thing from the mansion.
As for the people the male protagonist later bought, Xu Fu immediately broke one of their legs.
If they were perceptive enough, they would go directly to the male manager's restaurant; at least then they would have a place to stay.
If there's really nowhere to put your feet, you might as well catch up with that matchmaker from before.
By essentially selling himself outright, the matchmaker would probably be hoping to make a quick buck.
After all, Xu Fu didn't give them, or the male protagonist, the chance to ask for the indenture...
All the outsiders have left, and now only the bodyguards Xu Fu brought remain in the main courtyard.
And the male protagonist kneeling on the ground...
Xu Fu smiled and turned his gaze to the person, his expression slightly scrutinizing.
"Now you're the only one left—"
"Tell me, what's the best way for me to punish you?"
Faced with the male protagonist's questioning gaze, Xu Fu, unusually kind-hearted, explained to the man—
"I only said I'd spare your life for Xiaohua'er, but I didn't say I wouldn't harm you!"
Xu Fu stepped forward and slapped the other person across the face.
The male protagonist tilted his head slightly, then stubbornly turned it back.
Xu Fu was not the type to forgive and forget with a slap—
He raised both hands and slapped the person on the left and right to wake them up, the sound of the slaps echoing incessantly.
By the time Xu Fu was exhausted from fighting, the protagonist's face was swollen like a pig's head...
Even the bodyguards behind him couldn't bear to look at him.
Xu Fu stood up and coldly said to the bodyguard, "Cut off his limbs."
"Sparing his life to the point of being able to breathe is already an act of mercy on my part—"
The bodyguard stepped forward and slammed the male protagonist's limbs hard with the back of his blade.
Before the male protagonist could feel the pain, four crisp cracking sounds rang out.
The male protagonist only had time to let out a single cry of pain before he fainted.
His body lay on the ground, twitching, his limbs twisting strangely.
Xu Fu felt displeased and turned to look at the female lead.
"When you brought him back, you wanted him to become the second young master of the household."
I thought your interest was just temporary—
"I never expected that you would take a fancy to someone later and then come to me for help."
"This is the result..."
"How about I pull out his tongue?" Xu Fu stared intently at the female lead.
"That way, he won't be able to use his smooth talk to deceive you anymore—"
Seeing that Xu Fu was eager to try and was about to make a move, Xiao Hua quickly stopped him.
"Keep the person with me for now; I also hope the other person can wail in agony just like me—"
Xiao Hua stared coldly at the male protagonist, who lay sprawled on the ground like a rag doll.
"So I'll take him to your room?!" Xu Fu glanced at the female lead.
I can't wait to see these two have an extremely heart-wrenching love story...
After finishing his business, Xu Fu politely saw the bodyguards off and immediately went to the bank to buy a new batch of servants.
This time he learned his lesson—
Upon arriving, everyone must first pay their respects not only to Xu Fu, but also to the female lead.
Xu Fu directly handed all the indentures to Xiao Hua—
"From now on, their lives are entirely in your hands."
"Should be punished if necessary, and should be penalized if appropriate—"
“However, before they make a mistake, I hope you…” Xu Fu paused for a moment…
They feared that the female lead was being abused by the male lead, which would then twist her mind and cause her to be harsh on the servants for no reason.
Xiaohua remained noncommittal, took the pile of indentures with her, and left without looking back.
For the next month, eerie wails and howls were heard every few days coming from the female protagonist's room.
The newly arrived servants were trembling with fear, afraid of incurring the master's wrath...
During this time, Xu Fu first secretly inspected the shops of those three businesses.
It turns out that although the male protagonist is inhuman, he is quite shrewd in business.
Over the past decade or so, the male protagonist has developed his business into a chain model.
It has reached the point where it makes a fortune every day and customers come in droves.
Unfortunately, the original manager and shopkeeper have been replaced by the male lead's confidants.
Xu Fu, his former employer, was someone he didn't recognize upon meeting, and all the contracts were in the male protagonist's possession.
Xu Fu was determined to reform, and then transferred all his businesses to the female lead's name.
But he still needs to go back and find the contract.
Xu Fu returned to the protagonist's study and dug three feet into the ground, but found nothing...
Xu Fu thought the person had left the things with the concubine.
So they searched the house from top to bottom, but ultimately found nothing...
"Could it be that the male lead needs outside help?" A certain possibility occurred to Xu Fu, and he became secretly wary.
He immediately sent someone to invite Xiaohua over and asked her directly,
Do you know if he has anyone he can completely trust?
"What does brother want to know?" Xiaohua asked in return.
"I couldn't find a single land title or property deed for any of his properties..."
"Could he have given the item to some important person?" Xu Fu frowned immediately.
"System, come out now!" Xu Fu directly called out to the system in his mind.
“In Xiaoyu’s hands—” Xiaohua stared straight at the person and softly uttered a sentence.
[Ding, the female lead is right.] The system replied.
"Damn it! Why didn't you remind me sooner?" Xu Fu immediately complained to the system.
The system didn't tolerate this either, and retorted.
Since the host hasn't asked, this system has no obligation to remind them.
"If I had known, I shouldn't have let them go like that in the first place—" Xu Fu said with some regret.
"Don't worry, he'll come knocking sooner or later!" Xiaohua smiled sinisterly.
If someone benefits from the male protagonist, they will definitely try every means to save him from this situation...
