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

Even if three or four people come from the other side, they won't be able to do anything to me in a short time.

"Don't worry about your family's safety. We will secretly take them out and ensure that no one else knows. Only the people in charge of this operation will know. We are all tested and can be completely trusted."

"But using you as bait, isn't that a bit too risky? Your safety is our primary objective. Even if we don't catch those Imperial agents, it doesn't matter, as long as you're safe."

General Wang also knew that the most important thing sent down from above this time was to ensure the safety of Li Xiangdong and his family.

Secondly, we need to capture those enemy agents.

Those people will be caught sooner or later, but Li Xiangdong's safety is of paramount importance.

Sending Li Xiangdong on this risk might be a bit too reckless.

If something unexpected happens, the country will lose a valuable talent.

"General Wang, please trust me. Since I dare to say such things, I have certain means of self-protection. If we don't get rid of these people, you can't protect us forever."

Li Xiangdong said firmly.

Only by eliminating all these hidden pests can we achieve true security.

Chapter 118 Enemy Agent Organization

Somewhere in an alley.

The dilapidated gate seemed to speak of the poverty here.

The alley was quiet, as if no one lived there.

In a courtyard somewhere, five or six people sat around a wooden octagonal table, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"As you've all probably seen today, they've already taken action. What are your thoughts?"

The leader of the enemy intelligence organization said calmly.

"If you ask me, we should sacrifice a small number of people to take down this guy named Li Xiangdong. It would be difficult to win him over unless we can kidnap his family."

The second-in-command said fiercely.

"It's all because this cherry blossom is so useless. Just cultivating it has cost our country so much money and effort, and so many days have passed without any news."

"I even suspect she betrayed our organization, otherwise why would they have gotten the news so quickly?"

The third-in-command said angrily.

"Sakura is indeed very incompetent, but haven't you all noticed that we are missing one person? Jingxia has been captured by them. He was unfortunately caught in the operation the day before yesterday. According to the intelligence we have so far, he is not dead, but has been captured by the enemy."

The leader spoke calmly.

“Underground? Impossible. He couldn’t possibly betray our empire. He couldn’t possibly reveal our subsequent plans. Besides, he didn’t have much involvement; he was just carrying out orders.”

The second-in-command was somewhat puzzled.

"Why not? People will do anything when their lives are threatened. It seems that our previous negotiation plan will have to be put on hold for the time being."

The third-in-command said angrily.

The enemy's intelligence network was gathered in this small courtyard.

They discussed how to proceed with the next step of the plan.

The higher-ups have given them a final deadline, no later than tomorrow.

Either Li Xiangdong appears in the island nation, or Li Xiangdong disappears from this world forever.

However, China is now prepared, making assassination extremely difficult.

Currently, very few elites remain on the enemy's side.

After being captured underground, no more than 30 people were able to participate in the fight.

It's impossible for their five leaders to be present at the scene.

They have far too many secrets.

If any one of them were arrested, it would be a huge loss for the island nation.

It may also pose a threat to island nations.

“I have a suggestion. Why don’t we split up? I’ve planted a backup plan at the steel rolling mill. I heard that Li Xiangdong’s wife works there, which might be a breakthrough point.”

"The other group will go to the courtyard house to see if there is a chance to take down Li Xiangdong. Whichever side succeeds, the other side will immediately withdraw. This way, we can minimize our losses."

As the second-in-command, Yamamoto put forward his own ideas.

"Yamamoto, your idea is very practical. Although doing it this way might reduce manpower, it will increase the chances of success."

The leader approved Yamamoto's plan.

"Third brother, send a team to keep watch around the courtyard. Once there's an opportunity, take care of Li Xiangdong immediately. Remember that Sakura. If you can kill her, that would be best. She knows a lot of our secrets."

The leader gave the order.

"Yamamoto, contact the steel mill right now. As long as there's an opportunity, it doesn't matter if the mole inside is exposed. Whether he lives or dies is no longer important, as long as we can arrest Li Xiangdong's wife."

"Then our chances of winning will be much greater. Once Li Xiangdong is eliminated, everyone here will be a hero to the island nation."

The leader said viciously.

This time, the enemy's intelligence organization is determined to eliminate Li Xiangdong; they cannot allow him to continue his research under any circumstances.

It's still within the range that their island nation can withstand.

If Li Xiangdong is allowed to continue developing his technology, what if he develops weapons specifically targeting island nations?

Those spies were utter failures, sinners against the island nation.

They were all well aware of this, even if it meant paying half the price this time.

Even if it costs us half our manpower, we must get rid of Li Xiangdong.

This is a task they must complete.

Following the orders of the enemy intelligence chief, his men immediately began their operation.

This time, I'm prepared to die, but I'm determined to complete this mission successfully.

……

Outside the steel rolling mill.

"As long as you can complete this mission, rest assured, your family can live in Hong Kong afterward. We will guarantee your safety and that of your family. You can enjoy wealth and luxury for the rest of your life. You only need to take this one risk."

Yamamoto said expressionlessly.

"But, but the risk is too great. Everyone knows that Li Xiangdong's wife, Yu Li, works at a steel rolling mill. If I get in contact with her and it's discovered, will I even survive?"

The man said, his voice trembling.

"You have no room to refuse on this matter. Don't forget how much benefit you've taken from us. If you don't do it, I'll have someone report you. Think about it, do you want a life of wealth and honor, or to spend your whole life in jail?"

When Yamamoto saw that his attempts to seduce her failed, he turned to threats.

This person worked quietly and unnoticed at the steel rolling mill.

However, the location isn't exactly low.

We obtained some useful intelligence on the previous occasions as well.

To defeat a country, war alone is far from enough.

The most direct and convenient means is through industry.

This is also a major reason why informants are placed in steel rolling mills.

"Okay, fine, I'll handle this. But I can't guarantee I can lure Yu Li out. You'll have to handle the rest. I don't want to get involved in so much trouble. If you don't agree, then go ahead and report me."

The man was forced into this situation; he had gained many benefits from Yamamoto.

Of course, all of this money was obtained by (Ma Hao) himself by selling some useful information.

These are all illegal activities.

The man was well aware that if he were discovered, he would certainly be punished for treason.

However, Yamamoto gave too much money, but unfortunately, his elderly family members were bedridden for many years.

With my meager salary, I simply can't afford to see a doctor.

Once someone betrays information the first time, there will be a second and a third.

The further you go, the deeper you sink.

Now, Yamamoto has already regarded himself as a pawn, and that's how he successfully completed this task.

How could they possibly escape unscathed?

The man was filled with mixed emotions.

Who can be blamed?

Or can I only blame myself for being too greedy?

The money he received for selling information the first time was enough to pay for his family's medical treatment.

But the money came too quickly, and I simply couldn't resist the temptation.
