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

"Remember, this is my last mission here. After I complete this mission, you must send me back to the island nation. Otherwise, if my affairs are investigated and discovered, I will absolutely not keep your secret. Life is only once, and I value my life very much."

The deaf old woman took the pistol and the packet of the new type of poison, then turned and left.

A figure emerged from the darkness.

"Sir, Sakura is no longer loyal to us. Should I take care of her to avoid ruining our plans?"

A deep voice sounded.

"Not for now, but we still need to keep a close eye on her. If she can't complete this mission successfully, then we'll deal with her and that guy named Li Xiangdong together. We can't let her disrupt our plans."

"Remember, if she completes this task, dispose of her secretly. Under no circumstances should she be allowed to speak of this to a third person."

The man clearly had murderous intent toward the deaf old woman, but his current task was more important.

If the deaf old lady can successfully complete this mission, then the people they are infiltrating will be safer.

This will also facilitate subsequent operations.

After the man finished speaking, the courtyard was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After the deaf old lady went out, she carefully tucked the pistol into her trouser leg.

Afraid that others would notice, he wrapped several bandages around his neck to pretend he was injured.

He then stuffed the poison into a pocket sewn inside his clothes.

Chapter 103 The Deaf Old Lady's Thoughts

The deaf old woman walked alone on the street, her heart trembling uncontrollably.

This time, I took an extremely risky trip to find the person above me, hoping to leave Beijing safely.

Leave this place completely and return to the island nation.

Who would have thought that the organization would make such a decision, clearly sending him to his death.

The deaf old lady couldn't understand why Li Xiangdong, who was just an engineer, was being given such attention by the higher-ups.

Over the years, I have also provided the organization with a lot of important intelligence.

They are doing their utmost to suppress the development of Beijing and the surrounding cities.

But who would have thought that the organization would abandon him so easily? It was clear that they were treating him like a pawn to be discarded.

If I fail to complete the mission, the people in the organization will probably slit my throat in the middle of the night.

The more the deaf old lady thought about it, the more panicked she became.

The peaceful days we finally achieved are coming to an end so soon.

And the root of all this comes from Li Xiangdong.

But in the courtyard, who could help him deal with Li Xiangdong?

Poisoning is a skill, and if someone sees it, there's no way to defend yourself.

As for the gun, he absolutely did not want to take out that pistol.

Once you take it out, it's absolutely impossible to leave Beijing.

The deaf old woman understood that the gun was reserved by the organization for her to commit suicide.

The deaf old lady suddenly felt that it would be better to go to jail.

"Oh dear, what should we do? It's not easy for people in the same courtyard to poison each other."

The deaf old lady muttered to herself.

The deaf old lady didn't rush back to the courtyard house. Instead, she found a restaurant and had a good meal.

He naturally still had some money on him.

Over the years, just by providing intelligence, the money he received from above couldn't be described as being as rich as a country.

However, looking at the entire city of Beijing, probably no other family has as much wealth as one person.

The small yellow croakers buried in the original house were only a part of it.

The deaf old woman hid the remaining portion in another place.

As long as they don't say anything, even if they turn Beijing upside down, they won't find it.

After finishing her meal, the deaf old lady tidied herself up and calmed herself down.

Only then did she head towards the courtyard house, her mind constantly racing with thoughts along the way.

In the end, the deaf old lady decided that she had to get Yi Zhonghai out.

If someone helps you, it won't be too difficult to accomplish this task.

And Yi Zhonghai happens to have something on him.

"Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai, I originally thought I could live out the rest of my life peacefully, enjoy happiness, and pass away peacefully. Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned."

"You, the pawn I've been preparing for for years, have to be moved, or my life will be in danger."

The deaf old woman's eyes were firm and gleaming.

……

Inside Yi Zhonghai's house in a courtyard house.

“Old man, we’ve already done everything we could for the deaf old lady. I think it’s better to keep our distance from her. Her current identity is too questionable. If we get involved with her again, and something goes wrong, our family will be dragged into it.”

Jin Yumei earnestly advised him.

“What do you, a mere woman, know? The deaf old lady has a lot of money. She told me that. With money, how could she not find a place to retire?”

"You don't need to worry about this. He's just a brothel madam. These days, he'll only be in jail for a while. There's no danger to his life. What's there to be afraid of?"

Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to give up such a cash cow as the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady had inadvertently revealed her financial resources.

If you take care of the deaf old lady until her death, then all the money she leaves behind will belong to you.

When that time comes, you can choose whichever place you want to retire in.

This is such a wonderful thing.

All these years of hard work and struggle, isn't it all so that I can earn more money to use in my retirement?

Besides, I've already inquired and know that, given the deaf old lady's condition, she won't stay inside for very long.

If we take things from the past too seriously now, it would be making a mountain out of a molehill, and those in power would find it difficult to handle the situation.

“Old man, just listen to me. All of the deaf old lady’s current identities are fake. The only real identity is that of a madam. Nobody knows what she’s hiding from us.”

"It's better to be safe than sorry. We're living a peaceful and stable life now, so why not? Why go looking for trouble?"

Jin Yumei said helplessly.

Jin Yumei has always been obedient to Yi Zhonghai.

It's not for any other reason than that she hasn't been able to give birth to a son or daughter for Yi Zhonghai all these years.

On many issues, regardless of right or wrong, Jin Yumei unconditionally supported Yi Zhonghai.

But in this particular matter, Jin Yumei seemed to sense something unusual.

They kept persuading Yi Zhonghai, hoping he would stop caring about the deaf old lady and keep his distance.

Women's minds are always very sharp, as evidenced by the series of events that have occurred during this period.

Jin Yumei also became increasingly aware of the deaf old lady's identity, which seemed to be shrouded in mystery, making it impossible for anyone to see clearly.

As her identity was revealed layer by layer, Jin Yumei felt increasingly fearful and uneasy.

We are already quite content with our current living conditions, and there is no need to do anything else.

But despite all the persuasion, Yi Zhonghai remained stubborn.

They completely ignored me and didn't listen to my opinions.

This made Jin Yumei feel even more apprehensive.

Yi Zhonghai himself had no idea what kind of bewitching potion the deaf old lady had given him.

Why are you so focused on standing with the deaf old woman?

It's clear that the deaf old lady's identity as a brothel madam has already been exposed.

This can be described as a malignant tumor of the feudal era.

In today's world, that would be like a rat crossing the street, something everyone would want to kill.

The further away you are from people like that, the safer you are.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. After the deaf old lady comes back, don't say another word. Just do your job quietly. I know what I'm doing."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, looking extremely impatient.

Yi Zhonghai's ulterior motives have been laid bare. People die for wealth, birds die for food—an age-old truth.

This is also perfectly exemplified in Yi Zhonghai's case.

Since witnessing the deaf old lady's wealth, Yi Zhonghai has already made plans for the future.
