Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

"Grandma, I hope this matter can just end here. I don't want to get involved in this turmoil anymore. Let's just live peacefully in the courtyard from now on."

Yi Zhonghai said with a worried look on his face.

"It's all that little bastard Li Xiangdong's fault. If he hadn't come, we wouldn't have had so many problems. We would still be the local tyrants in the courtyard. There's really nothing we can do about that little bastard."

The deaf old lady 407 also knew that she absolutely could not deal with Li Xiangdong anymore.

After this incident, Li Xiangdong will definitely be highly valued by his superiors.

Besides, I'm already completely free from this situation, so why bother with so many unpleasant things?

Live your life peacefully and steadily.

Who cares what Li Xiangdong is doing in the courtyard?

"Come on, let's drink and eat, cheer up. At least this matter has nothing to do with us anymore."

The deaf old lady picked up her wine glass and drank it down in large gulps.

Yi Zhonghai, feeling uneasy, drank a few glasses of wine to calm his nerves.

On the contrary, they barely ate any of the meat and vegetables on the table.

……

In a courtyard of a traditional Chinese courtyard house.

"Everything is ready, and we can carry out the arrest operation tonight."

The soldier said.

"No rush. According to the commander's instructions, we should make the arrest during the day and spread the word about it so that those scheming villains will abandon their plans."

"This way we can be more effective. Let's rest here for the night, brothers!"

Xiaowu said.

Xiao Wu had been following that old man for many years, always observing his every move.

Naturally, they understood the old man's meaning.

The arrest operation can be carried out at any time; there are no longer any enemy-organized spies in Beijing.

There's no need to be so worried or afraid that the other party will run away.

Tonight we only need to make some minor arrangements.

Only two patrolmen were left at the courtyard; they could signal if anything happened.

The rest of the people stayed in the courtyard and bought some food.

After eating, I fell asleep, preparing for the next day's activities.

The next day.

With the crowing of a rooster, everyone struggled to get up from their dreams.

After leaving the warm bed, I have to wash my face, brush my teeth, and eat some breakfast before going to work.

If I don't work, who will support my family?

Just as everyone was getting ready for work, a strange noise came from the street.

"When did this small squad appear in Beijing? Wasn't it supposed to be a military exercise the other day?"

"Judging from their attire, they don't seem to be ordinary soldiers."

"Don't worry about so many things, just go to work. No matter how big the problem is, it has nothing to do with us ordinary folks."

……

People on the street were talking about it, seeing a small, well-organized unit with strict military discipline.

They were walking down the street, and this squad was the guard company that Xiao Wu led.

There was no news last night, which means the deaf old lady is still in the courtyard.

Therefore, Xiao Wu decided to carry out this morning's operation in a grand and high-profile manner.

They need to make their actions visible to everyone.

The group walked to the entrance of the courtyard house in an orderly manner.

"Report: There has been no movement or anyone entering or leaving the courtyard since last night. Please advise."

The soldier said sternly.

"You've worked hard, you were on duty all night. You two should go back and rest. The people we're going to arrest today aren't a threat."

The two comrades worked a night shift around the courtyard yesterday and are quite tired now.

Xiao Wu naturally didn't want others to see how tired they were, so he arranged for them to go back and rest.

The two soldiers nodded, straightened their clothes, and left the courtyard.

The rest of the work was handed over to Xiao Wu and his team.

As soon as Xiao Wu stepped into the courtyard, he immediately attracted the attention of the residents.

"Why are the army coming to the courtyard again? Didn't they just send a group a couple of days ago? Who in our courtyard has committed a crime?"

Yan Jiecheng muttered to himself, puzzled.

"You little brat, shut your mouth right now. This has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and finish washing up, eat your meal, and go to work."

Yan Bugui slapped Yan Jiecheng on the head.

Yi Zhonghai was also preparing to leave for work. He hadn't slept well the night before and was terrified all night.

Yi Zhonghai didn't know how to manage these emotions.

After all, this matter is more or less related to me, so it would be a lie to say I'm not panicked.

When Yi Zhonghai saw the soldiers, his heart immediately jumped into his throat.

"What's going on? Why are there soldiers here so early in the morning? Judging by their attire, they're probably not..."

As Yi Zhonghai thought about this, cold sweat poured down his forehead and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

Banggeng stood aside, observing the soldiers.

Even the boldest man wouldn't dare to cause trouble at this time; he could only watch quietly from the sidelines.

Everyone who was washing up in the courtyard stopped what they were doing and looked at Xiao Wu and the others.

No one knew why soldiers would come to the courtyard so early in the morning.

They had come before, but those were always to see Li Xiangdong.

As for the specifics, they were unclear about them and dared not inquire further.

If you hear something you shouldn't, that could be dangerous.

"Comrades, hello. I belong to the guard company of a certain war zone. May I ask if there is a person in your compound called the Deaf Old Lady?"

Xiao Wu said seriously.

Yi Zhonghai's heart, which had been in his throat, was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.

Originally, I was just guessing that it might be related to the deaf old lady, but it was also possible that she came to see Li Xiangdong.

But when he heard the person who came, he accurately named the deaf old woman.

My heart could barely take it, but I forced myself to endure the physical discomfort.

"Hello comrade, the deaf old lady's house is over there. Would you like me to take you there?"

Chapter 130 The Deaf Old Lady Goes to Jail

Xu Damao came out of the house and heard Xiao Wu's voice, so he quickly said something.

How could someone as shrewd as Xu Damao miss even the slightest opportunity?

When you can be obsequious, be obsequious immediately, regardless of whether it benefits you or not.

Anyway, let's just do it first and see what happens later. Whether we get any benefits or not is another matter.

Whether or not to do it is your own business.

Since no one in the courtyard responded, Xiao Wu could only nod.

Xu Damao led Xiao Wu and his group to the small house where the deaf old lady lived.

"Sirs, she lives here, so I won't disturb your work any longer."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and immediately left.

Having already led the way, there's no need to inquire about what happens next.

If it's something I shouldn't have heard, I could get myself into a lot of trouble.

Now that I've finally managed to become a section chief, if I keep working my way up, I might just become a department head.

“Deaf old lady, please put down your weapon immediately and leave the house.”

Xiao Wu said seriously.

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone in the courtyard to hear.
