After the Substitute Marriage, I Discovered My Husband is a Hidden Tycoon

I married a petty hooligan in place of my sister, living a life of poverty. Who knew that my husband would suddenly transform into a mysteriously powerful and influential tycoon?

Jiang Can co...

Chapter 138 If you're so capable, make your wife a spendthrift too.

Huo Zhixing glanced at him; this question had been on his mind for a long time as well.

What puzzled him even more was that, despite being considered physically strong among men, they were now struggling to keep up with the pace of these two petite women and were almost completely exhausted.

It seems I'll have to give her another "minor punishment" tonight...

"Hey, what are you grinning about?" Lu Lishan waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Huo Zhixing snapped out of his daze, his smile vanished, and he regained his usual cold demeanor.

“Lu Lishan,” he said in a deep voice, “have you ever thought about returning to the right path?”

Lu Lishan was taken aback, his expression turning complicated.

"Although you are with Lin Yuqing now, and she can accept you, you need to think clearly. You are living a life of constant danger. You have power, but you also have enemies."

“Last time it was just a coincidence that I was at that hotel…” Huo Zhixing looked at him meaningfully, “If something similar happens again, will there be such a coincidence?”

"If something happens to you again, what happiness will Lin Yuqing have left?"

Lu Lishan's expression changed slightly, and he pursed his lips gently.

In fact, he had this idea for a long time. When Huo Zhiyan asked him to do something, the condition he was given was to help him launder his identity.

But Huo Zhiyan was ultimately a man of his word.

Lu Lishan looked at Huo Zhixing, opened his mouth, but didn't utter a single word.

“I can help you,” Huo Zhixing said in a low voice, “but the process will be very complicated and won’t be as quick as you imagine. And you’ll have to give up some things.”

"It's alright." Lu Lishan said without hesitation, "As long as I can hold Yuqing's hand and walk under the sun, I don't need anything else!"

Huo Zhixing looked at him for a long time, then patted him on the shoulder and laughed.

Jiang Can and Lin Yuqing looked in their direction. Although they didn't know what the two were talking about, they seemed to be able to coexist peacefully.

Lin Yuqing waved her hand and shouted, "Lu Lishan, I've chosen a lot of things!"

Lu Lishan immediately responded, "Coming!"

Huo Zhixing looked down on him for carrying so many bags and scoffed, "What a spendthrift."

"Tch..." Lu Lishan rolled his eyes, "If you're so capable, let your wife lose too!"

"What a joke!" Master Huo glared at him. "You think I can't?"

"Heh, do you dare?"

These three words left Huo Zhixing speechless.

After Lu Lishan finished speaking, he got up triumphantly and ran into the store. But suddenly he felt a kick from behind, which struck him hard in the waist!

"ah!"

Lu Lishan yelled, suddenly losing his balance. His bags and packages scattered all over the ground, and he stumbled forward in full view of everyone, almost crashing headfirst into the wall...

Fortunately, thanks to his exceptional agility, he didn't fall too badly.

Behind him, Master Huo calmly straightened his collar, a slight smile playing on his lips as he arrogantly raised an eyebrow.

Lu Lishan erupted like a volcano in an instant—

"You son of a bitch!"

"You're so damn sneaky, you kicked me in the waist!"

"What if I break it?!"

Being unable to move my back will affect my happiness for the rest of my life!

...

Later they arrived at the port city’s most famous night market.

The place is bustling with activity, the lights illuminate the night sky like daytime, and the night market offers everything you could want to eat and use. Many online celebrities and livestreamers also film here.

Huo Zhixing held Jiang Can tightly in his arms, afraid of getting separated from her.

Lu Lishan and Lin Yuqing returned from scouting ahead, excitedly describing how many delicious foods were on the street ahead. Then, seeing Huo Zhixing gripping Jiang Can's shoulders tightly, the two couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Mr. Gu, that's enough! If you keep holding onto Can Can like this, you'll end up with five finger marks on her shoulder if she gets lost!"

"Hey, don't say that about him," Lu Lishan chimed in. "He finally managed to get a wife, of course he has to keep a close eye on her..."

"Scratches are no problem!" a vendor's voice suddenly came from the side. "I have medicine here, a miracle cure, guaranteed to leave no scars!"

Lu Lishan and Lin Yuqing laughed so hard they almost fell over.

Jiang Can was drawn to the exquisite little medicine bottle and picked it up to examine it. The packaging was retro, and the small bottle was lightweight in her hand.

This is the first time I've ever seen medicine made like a work of art.

The vendor, whose hearing was impaired, smiled and said to her, "Miss, would you like to buy a bottle? This is from Hongxi Pharmaceutical. We've been selling it for over ten years, and we guarantee it's honest and reliable!"

"Hongxi Pharmaceuticals?"

"Yes! It's the Yin family's pharmaceutical factory!"

Huo Zhixing paused, his brow furrowing slightly.

Hong Kong is very close to Southeast Asia. Could this Yin family be the same Yin family from Southeast Asia?

The group walked forward for a while until they reached a less crowded area. Lin Yuqing pulled Jiang Can to eat some street food, with the two men following behind.

Lu Lishan noticed that Huo Zhixing's expression was off.

"What happened?"

"It's nothing," Huo Zhixing replied casually, then thought for a moment and asked, "That medicine seller mentioned the Yin family, have you heard of them?"

"Of course, it's very famous in Southeast Asia."

Lu Lishan had also traveled all over the country with the gang leader and had heard about these things.

"The Yin family has some influence in Southeast Asia. I heard that their ancestors made their fortune by practicing medicine, so the Yin family has always kept their pharmaceutical factory."

"But why are those medicines being sold at the night market?"

"It seems that because Yin's Pharmaceuticals are inexpensive and effective, they are very popular. They don't act like big pharmaceutical companies, so their medicines are readily available. No one counterfeits them because they keep the prices low enough that ordinary people can afford them."

Huo Zhixing narrowed his eyes. "So they're a company with a conscience."

Ha, who would have thought that the Yin family, who did such good deeds, would secretly collude with Huo Zhanhe?
