The reporters nearby quickly took out paper and pen and hurriedly wrote down the shocking news they had just heard.

Reporters everywhere were paying close attention to Liu Guangqi's case. Some of the more professional reporters even quickly pressed the shutter buttons of their cameras, capturing every expression of Liu Guangqi like cheetahs hunting.

As Liu Guangqi's mind was filled with words like "he is not a man" and "he is a eunuch", the inhumane tragic experience occupied all his thoughts.

Liu Guangqi seemed to see many figures pointing at him and circling around him.

Liu Guangqi's eyes became increasingly cloudy. Sometimes he cried out, "I'm not a man, I can't be humane, I'm a eunuch!" Sometimes he laughed and said, "I'm not a eunuch, I'm a real man!" He kept repeating these words.

Facing the curses and accusations from all around him, Liu Guangqi simply responded with a silly smile, as if he had fallen into a state of madness.

People watching the excitement on the sidelines were talking about it: "It seems that Liu Guangqi is crazy."

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the deaf old lady who was watching, but she did not sympathize with Liu Guangqi's experience.

Yi Zhonghai, who was hiding in the distance, saw the deaf old lady there, and walked over to her unwillingly and said, "Old lady, I really can't accept this, especially seeing that He Yuzhu is becoming more and more successful, how can I swallow this breath!"

The deaf old lady did not respond to Yi Zhonghai's words, but asked: "Have you completely distanced yourself from the incident in which Liu Haizhong and Jia Zhangshi disrupted He Yuzhu's wedding banquet? Have they been arrested by the police?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded to the deaf old lady: "Liu Haizhong's revenge on He Yuzhu will not involve betraying me, because I know his own secrets. If he betrays me, I will make his scandals public. At most, I will be put in solitary confinement, but Liu Haizhong will have to wait for jail time."

Since Liu Guangqi's false accusation is not feasible, they have to change their thinking to retaliate against He Yuzhu, but the prerequisite is that all the "dirty work" must be done cleanly and neatly without leaving any trace of Yi Zhonghai.

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, the deaf old lady praised him, "You did a good job today. Let's celebrate the New Year and get enough energy. Then we can find a chance to think about how to deal with He Yuzhu, the little bastard!"

"Okay, old lady." Yi Zhonghai said as he supported the old lady, "I'll go to Quanjude to buy a roast duck. Let's have a good New Year's Eve dinner together and enjoy it."

Facing Liu Guangqi who was sent to the execution ground and shot, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady looked as if it had nothing to do with them. Liu Guangqi's life or death really didn't mean much to them.

At the gate of Fengze Garden, He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen held hands and calmly watched the sad scene of Liu Guangqi being paraded through the streets. They did not feel any anger at all.

At the execution site in the wild, on a cold winter night, only a faint light could be seen from a lonely house in the distance. Liu Guangqi knew that his light could not bring him any warmth.

Liu Guangqi longed to continue living instead of dying now. People who are executed always feel full of regret at this moment and hope that the police can give them a way out.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Whoever commits a crime must bear the judgment of law.

"Liu Guangqi, rest in peace!" The police who executed him did not give Liu Guangqi any chance to speak.

Liu Guangqi knew he was about to be shot, so he roared: "He Yuzhu, Xu Huizhen, you two bastards, even if I die, I will turn into a ghost and seek revenge on you!"

The executing police officer frowned, grabbed Liu Guangqi and put a black hood on him.

In endless fear, Liu Guangqi heard the crisp sound of gunfire, and his life came to an end.

······

On New Year's Eve, He Yuzhu was busy preparing a sumptuous meal of ten dishes and one soup in the kitchen of his new home in Maoer Hutong.

Master Zhang Jianguo's voice came into the kitchen: "Zhu Zi, is dinner ready? I want to enjoy your cooking tonight!"

There was a knock on the door. He Yuzhu immediately washed his hands, wiped the moisture on his apron, and opened the door with a smile to welcome the guests - it turned out that Zhang Jianguo led the whole family to He Yuzhu's new home to have New Year's Eve dinner.

At He Yuzhu's wedding banquet, Zhang Jianguo had already secretly "hinted" to He Yuzhu, saying that he was the one who cooked the New Year's Eve dinner himself every year and was always extremely tired, and he wondered if there was anyone else who could take his place this year.

As soon as He Yuzhu heard what his master Zhang Jianguo said, he understood what his master meant, so he simply invited his master Zhang Jianguo and his family to have New Year's Eve dinner together, invited them to taste his cooking, and stay up together to celebrate the New Year in a lively manner.

He Yuzhu not only invited Zhang Jianguo's family, but also specially invited another martial arts master Li Guodong.

Martial arts master Li Guodong has been alone for many years. He was extremely happy to receive the invitation from his beloved disciple He Yuzhu, and he readily agreed to come on New Year's Eve.

Finally, they arrived at He Yuzhu's house, the new father-in-law Xu Yuanshan. Since Xu's Tavern had many regular customers, they all came to the Tavern without any prior arrangement to buy some wine and dried fish to take back for the New Year.

Xu Yuanshan hurried over only after all the regular customers had bought their wine and dried fish.

On New Year's Eve, everyone gathered together at He Yu's new home.

"Dad, Huizhen and I wish you a happy new year and everything goes well."

"Dad, Happy New Year! I hope we can celebrate the New Year together every year in the future."

He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen stepped forward and first toasted and congratulated Xu Yuanshan who was sitting at the main table.

Xu Yuanshan was all smiles, raised his glass and clinked it with He Yuzhu and the others, saying, "Happy New Year to you too, here are the red envelopes for you to take!"

He Yuzhu glanced at Xu Huizhen.

When Xu Huizhen saw her father Xu Yuanshan like this, she pursed her lips slightly and took the red envelope.

Then, Xu Yuanshan spoke out the words buried deep in his heart: "Huizhen's mother passed away early, and I raised her alone. I have never told anyone about this hardship. Now Huizhen has chosen you, He Yuzhu, as her husband. I hope that you two will live a loving and happy life in the future."

"Zhu Zi, if you bully Hui Zhen in the future, I will never forgive you."

He Yuzhu quickly interrupted and said, "Dad, two masters and fellow disciples, I, He Yuzhu, promise here that I will treat Huizhen wholeheartedly in this life. If I ever let Huizhen down, I will let you deal with me as you wish!"

Xu Huizhen echoed in a low voice: "Dad, don't worry! Since He Yuzhu is now my husband, how can I not understand his character? Our life in the future will definitely be happy!"

Zhang Jianguo saw the affectionate couple and joked, "Boss Xu, look at this girl, she has become more and more stubborn. She just got married to Zhuzi and she has started to speak well of him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around burst into laughter.

Xu Huizhen lowered her head shyly, her cheeks flushed.

Noticing that Master Li Guodong did not say much, He Yuzhu picked up the wine glass and said, "Master, I toast you! May you be healthy and live longer!"

Li Guodong nodded with a smile, and drank a glass with his apprentice He Yuzhu.

Li Guodong sighed: "I really didn't expect today's New Year's Eve dinner to be so lively."

"In the past, I would just buy some roast pork and peanuts and drink some wine during the Chinese New Year, and that was it."

"Today, so many people gathered together all of a sudden. I really don't feel comfortable with it."

He Yushui, who was enjoying the chicken thigh, raised his head slightly when he heard Li Guodong's words, biting the chicken thigh and mumbling: "Master, I will accompany you every New Year's Eve from now on! And let my brother accompany you for the New Year, oh, and my sister-in-law will also accompany you for the New Year!"

During this period of time, He Yushui found that she had become accustomed to the presence of her master Li Guodong, and felt particularly close to Li Guodong. She did not want to see Li Guodong feel unhappy.

Hearing He Yushui's words, Li Guodong touched her head lovingly, thinking that she was a good and filial child, and quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, we will celebrate the New Year together every year in the future. Master will definitely be very happy! Haha!"

"Come on, Master, let's have a drink together! I toast to you!"

He Yuzhu raised a glass of wine and his eyes fell on Zhang Jianguo standing beside him.

The slightly tipsy Zhang Jianguo readily responded and clinked glasses with He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu slowly said, "Master, thank you for teaching me the craft for so many years. Thank you for treating me like a family member. Thank you for introducing Huizhen to me."

"Without your care and nurturing, I wouldn't be where I am today."

After saying that, He Yuzhu filled the glass with wine again and drank it all.

Zhang Jianguo smiled and shook his hand, saying, "I am not good to everyone. It depends on what kind of person he is. I always know that you are a good person, so you don't need to thank me. In the future, I hope our friendship between master and apprentice will last forever!"

He Yuzhu was deeply touched by Zhang Jianguo's sincere words, moved to tears, and nodded vigorously.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank, making the New Year's atmosphere even more lively.

The New Year's Eve dinner lasted until nine o'clock in the evening. At this time, Zhang Jianguo's children Xiaolong and Xiaohu began to feel sleepy. Zhang Jianguo was reminded by his wife and said drunkenly: "Well, let's stop here today? My two sons are almost asleep, and I am a little drunk."

Xu Yuanshan was also a little tipsy at the moment, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, if I continue drinking, I will pass out."

Although Li Guodong was a little tipsy, he was still sober and said with a sense of humor: "You still need to practice your alcohol tolerance. Otherwise, you can practice kung fu with me and drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Haha! But it is indeed late. Then, my father-in-law, Master Zhang, Zhuzi, and Huizhen, let's stop drinking here!"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "I will visit each of the elders' homes one by one in the next few days to wish them a happy new year. Then we can have a good drink!"

As He Yuzhu finished his last glass of wine, everyone set out on their way home.
