Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

No one knows what Du Weiguo and Mr. J talked about and what kind of agreement they finally reached.

No one even knew that they had met secretly in the ruins of Casablanca on that dark and stormy night.

After all, apart from Mr. J, the only person who knew about the fact that Du Weiguo had been there was Jacob, and this unlucky guy was knocked unconscious without even seeing his face, so he could only guess.

Anyway, from this day on, the boiling international situation began to slowly cool down.

It’s normal to think about it. After all, life has to go on and no one can be ready to fight all day long.

Of course, calm is only relative, and the impact of this incident is far from over.

A few days later, the commander of the Marseille naval base in France, along with dozens of middle and senior military officers, were suddenly arrested without any warning.

On the same day, a converted cargo ship was also overturned in the waters around Corsica. This ship was the culprit that bombarded the snake's nest and was also the carrier for transporting "piglets" on a daily basis.

As for the purpose of the shelling, it was of course to destroy evidence.

That snake den not only traffics in humans, but also in drugs. To put it bluntly, it's drugs carried on the human body. If that were all, it wouldn't be worth making such a fuss.

The key lies in the source of the D products. The "goods" in the snake den are all produced in North Africa.

There is a French naval base on the border between Morocco and Mauritania. In the uninhabited area behind the base, nearly 10,000 acres of cherry blossom fields have been developed.

The head of the snake den was a lieutenant colonel of the French Marine Corps. The most outrageous thing was that he was actually an active-duty officer.

This shocking scandal was eventually suppressed without exposing the truth.

However, not long after, France disgracefully closed down the naval base, destroyed Sakurasada, and paid a sky-high compensation of 20 billion francs.

As for who the money should be compensated to, it goes without saying.

Bay Island, this place has a subtropical monsoon climate, and the weather is best in two periods of time every year.

One is early summer, from mid-May to mid-June, and the other is late autumn, from mid-October to mid-November each year.

The rest of the time is either too hot or too rainy, and there are two typhoon seasons a year. Right now is the most beautiful and sunny time.

Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, in Taichung, on Daxing 18th Street at the foot of Jade Mountain.

Today the sun is shining brightly, with a gentle breeze. At a roadside breakfast stall, Ah Zhi pushes a large, steaming bowl of rice in front of Du Weiguo with a bright smile.

"Sir, I know you don't like sweets. You should try this wonton. It's stuffed with shrimp and pork. The shrimp was freshly caught this morning. It should suit your taste."

This breakfast stall is run by a couple. It is very clean and the couple has excellent cooking skills. They are enthusiastic and efficient. You can tell they have been doing this for many years.

The staple foods sold are glutinous rice balls and fried dough sticks, as well as boiled eggs, meatballs, soy milk and so on. There are many regular customers who come to eat, but the taste is sweet, which is not Du Weiguo's cup of tea.

The bowl of wontons in front of him was bought for him from another stall by Ah Zhi on the pretext of going to wash his hands.

Among all the women in Du Weiguo, Azhi is definitely at the bottom in terms of appearance and figure, and she doesn't have any skills or talents.

Azhi is just an ordinary person, and his background is not even that good.

However, it was such an ordinary and almost mediocre little woman that Du Weiguo, who was used to seeing the most beautiful women in the world, could not forget her.

Perhaps, he is still a mortal at heart, yearning for a plain, simple and stable life. Now only with Azhi can he experience this feeling.

Originally, Du Weiguo thought that after their last separation, he would not have the chance to see Azhi again for a long time.

However, after finishing the secret conversation with Mr. J, he immediately teleported back to Hong Kong Island to find her. It was a completely subconscious behavior.

Du Weiguo even risked taking Azhi on public transportation, taking a ferry for a day and a night to return to Wandao for vacation.

This is a typical case of darkness under the lamp.

Hong Kong Island has been in chaos and turmoil recently. There is unrest both overtly and covertly, which has seriously affected the streets.

No one could have imagined that under such circumstances, Du Weiguo would return to Hong Kong but not show up to take charge of the situation. No one would believe that he actually took his girl out to sea on a boat, and the boat they took was the most ordinary passenger ship.

Therefore, Du Weiguo easily blended into the crowd with just a simple disguise and successfully arrived at Bay Island. During the period, no one noticed him at all.

After getting off the ship in Kaohsiung, they did not stay, but took the train all the way to Taichung.

This is Azhi’s hometown. Although she left home at a very young age and has no relatives or friends in Taichung, her memory is even a little vague and she can’t even remember where her home is.

But Azhi was still very happy. She was extremely surprised to meet Du Weiguo so soon.

Now that they can revisit the old place together and spend time together day and night, Ah Zhi is so happy that he is about to explode.

As a result, this girl who has always been stingy has become generous with her money recently.

Du Weiguo took the bowl with a smile, scooped a spoonful of wontons and tasted it. It tasted salty and fragrant, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Well, it's delicious."

He always eats voraciously, and can finish a large bowl of wontons, weighing half a pound, including the soup, in just a few bites.

"It tastes good, but the portion is a little small. I'm not very full." Du Weiguo smacked his lips and took out a cigarette box from his pocket.

Upon hearing this, Ah Zhi quickly stood up and said, "Then I'll go buy you another bowl."

"Okay, don't go. I'm almost 7% full. I won't feel too full if I don't eat."

Du Weiguo reached out and held her down, lit a cigarette, exhaled the smoke, patted his pockets slightly exaggeratedly, and joked:
"I have no money, and I have many enemies outside. I can't go out to make money. Ah Zhi, I may have to rely on you to support me in the future."

"I can still eat so much, are you afraid?"

"Not afraid!"

Although he knew in his heart that Du Weiguo was most likely joking, Ah Zhi still shook his head solemnly and said seriously:

"Sir, I have money. You gave me a lot of money before, and I saved it all. Even if you eat a lot, I can still feed you."

"Ha~" Du Weiguo was amused by her.

"Ah Zhi, did I give you a lot of money? Enough for us to live on for the rest of our lives?"

"Enough!" Azhi answered firmly, his eyes sparkling.

"Sir, I have saved 10 US dollars, 30 Hong Kong dollars, and tens of thousands of Taiwan dollars on me, all given by you. This amount of money is enough for us to live on."

At this point, Azhi raised his head and looked at Du Weiguo with hope in his eyes:

"If it's not enough, I can go out to work, or set up a small stall in the fish market to make some money. Sir, I promise I can support you."

10 US dollars or 30 Hong Kong dollars is indeed not a small amount. According to the current consumption level, it is indeed enough for a family to live a wealthy life for a lifetime.

But this little money is nothing to Du Weiguo.

Mr. Du now receives and spends money in billions or even tens of billions.

For example, the amount of compensation France recently paid him was as high as 20 billion francs, and the funding gap for Guyana's second phase development plan is as high as 260 billion.

However, Ah Zhi's unreservedness still touched him deeply, and his heart, which had been as hard as a rock, softened. "Hehe~" Du Weiguo smiled and rubbed Ah Zhi's little head lovingly.

"What a silly girl, you really believe it? I'm a grown-up with arms and legs, how could I possibly let you support me?"

"Sir, I really do~" Azhi was anxious.

"Really? Come on, eat quickly, your rice balls are getting cold."

Du Weiguo handed a shredded chicken rice ball to her mouth, stopping her from talking.

"Oh."

Ah Zhi responded and obediently took the rice ball and started to eat it. Her eyes were filled with disappointment and her eye circles were slightly red.

How she wished that what Du Weiguo said just now was not a joke. Unfortunately, staying together forever was just a luxury after all.

9am, Taichung, Xitun, Kaixuan Road.

A long queue formed in front of the Regent Theatre, and Du Weiguo and Azhi joined the queue like an ordinary couple.

The new film released today is Kunpeng Pictures' "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang: The Thrush".

This movie is the second in the Chu Liuxiang series of movies, starring the popular actor Qiu Guan, and the supporting actresses are the most popular Hu Yanni and Shao Yinyan.

At the same time, this movie is also Xiao Qingxia's screen debut, in which she plays the third female role, Su Rongrong, Chu Liuxiang's confidante.

Qiu Guan's life trajectory has changed completely. Since joining Kunpeng Pictures, he has started to soar and starred in three movies in a row, all of which were big hits.

Especially after playing the role of Chu Liuxiang, he became extremely popular and soared to become the second pillar of Kunpeng, second only to Brother Xiaolong.

Even in some Chinese-speaking regions, Qiu Guan's box office appeal is no less than that of Bruce Lee. After all, when it comes to looks, he definitely wins.

"Dingling bell~"

A clear bell rang, which was the signal to enter the venue, and the long line of people started moving immediately.

"Pfft!"

In the crowd, not far from Azhi, a thin man suddenly fell to the ground like a wooden stake.

"Oh! Someone fainted!" The crowd dispersed instantly, with bursts of exclamations, and Azhi was also startled.

"Sir, what should we do? He, what happened to him? Will he be okay?"

Azhi subconsciously shrank into Du Weiguo's arms and instinctively sought answers from him. In her subconscious, the man next to her was almost omnipotent and omniscient.

Du Weiguo hugged Ah Zhi's slender waist, glanced coldly at the man lying on the ground, his body trembling slightly, and said calmly:

"Don't worry, he's fine, but he's lacking oxygen and may have heat stroke. There are patrol officers over there, they will handle it properly."

"Ah Zhi, let's go in quickly, the movie is about to start."

This guy is disabled and will never be able to raise his right hand again in his life. His shoulder and cervical spinal nerve plexus was crushed by Du Weiguo.

He was a pickpocket. When the bell rang just now and the crowd started to move, he actually wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack Azhi.

Azhi carried a small bag in front of her, which was bulging with nearly NT$100,000. Her hands almost never left the bag, and she always held it tightly.

Such behavior is a blatant provocation to those experienced pickpockets. They would be letting down their profession if they didn't steal.

Du Weiguo's move was as fast as lightning and extremely covert. No one noticed it, even the pickpocket's accomplices were stunned.

"Oh, oh, okay."

Feeling the strong hands around her waist, Ah Zhi's sense of security was instantly boosted, and her face flushed.

The cinema was a mess with people everywhere. In addition to the audience, there were also peddlers walking around hawking their wares. Du Weiguo almost had to carry Azhi all the way before he found a good seat.

Just after sitting down, he looked at his watch, glanced left and right, stood up and said:

"Ah Zhi, we still have some time before we leave. Buy some snacks and soda first, and bring me a pack of cigarettes. I'm going to go pee."

"Oh, yes, sir, please come back soon."

Azhi's eyes were full of attachment, she didn't want to be separated from Du Weiguo for even a second, but she was very sensible and nodded obediently.

Regent Theater is the best and most expensive movie theater in Taichung. The toilets are indoors with a self-flowing water system and are cleaned by a special person, so it is very clean.

Because the movie hadn't started yet, there were quite a lot of people in the toilet. Du Weiguo smoked half a cigarette before it was his turn to use a toilet.

As soon as he unzipped his trousers, his left pocket sank slightly. At the same time, a tall figure flashed behind him.

Du Weiguo seemed unaware and continued to leisurely drain the water.

The movie is quite good. Although the picture is blurry and there are no special effects, the plot is very full and the degree of restoration is very high.

Especially the actors' looks and acting skills are both online, even though Du Weiguo has lived two lives, it is still enjoyable to watch.

A Chinese restaurant specializing in seafood, located near the government and not far from the cinema.

Du Weiguo sat alone by the window on the second floor, taking a sip of tea from time to time. Azhi went to the pond downstairs to pick fish and shrimps himself.

"Boss, long time no see. I didn't expect you to come in person."

A hunchbacked old man of West Asian descent wearing a turban suddenly sat down opposite him, but his voice sounded very young.

Du Weiguo put down his teacup, glanced at the old man, and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone:

"Nim, you are a CIA agent, and an elite among the elite, but you can't deal with a mere ordinary person?"

The old man in front of me is Nim in disguise.

It must be said that his makeup skills are amazing. At this moment, he looks like an old Indian man in his twilight years.

This time Du Weiguo came to Wandao, in addition to having a date with Azhi, he also wanted to meet Nim because something went wrong with the task assigned to him before.

Using the secret agent method to make secret contacts is a little bit of Du Weiguo's bad taste. He wants to review his original job.

The corners of Nim's mouth twitched, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes:
"Boss, I admit defeat. That guy is a person with special abilities. I almost died in his hands."

Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo became interested: "Oh? He is a person with special abilities? What abilities does he have?"

Nim shook his head:

"I'm not sure, but it's probably a perception ability. Also, he can throw knives very accurately, so accurate it's scary."

Du Weiguo smiled: "Flying knives? Interesting. Nim, are you okay with your injury?"

"It was dangerous at the time, but now it's fine. The wound has scabbed over." Nim covered his chest subconsciously. (End of this chapter)
