An extraordinary life journey through old Beijing courtyard houses

Jiang Baobin adopted an uncooperative stance, not even bothering to speak.

This gave Zhao Zhibang a real headache, and all he could do left was torture.

But his intuition told him—he couldn't do that, or he would be in trouble!

Just when Zhao Zhibang was at his wit's end.

Suddenly, the patrol officer who had arrested Jiang Baobin earlier ran in and whispered something to him.

Zhao Zhibang's eyes lit up immediately, and he snorted coldly:

"Don't tell me that. Why would we police care about a little secretary like you?"

"I advise you to turn yourself in right now, don't try to resist!"

"Jiang Baobin, what else did you do in Shanghai and Beiping besides?"

"Give me a clear account of when and where you went to Tianjin and Qingdao, and what you did there..."

As he spoke, his eyes were once again fixed on Jiang Baobin's face.

Damn it! What the hell are you talking about! We've come this far, how could I possibly back down?

These cops are pretty good, aren't they? They found out exactly where I'd been so quickly...

No, that can't be the case. I just walked in and the police already knew everything.

A mole! Ryder's face flashed through Jiang Baobin's mind—

Even though I'm not in Beiping, the company won't just ignore my calls.

As long as people from Tianjin or Qingdao call to inquire, Ryder can easily find out where he is.

Damn it! You traitor!

You eat the company's food but smash the company's pots, you're a piece of trash, just you wait!

Actually, Jiang Baobin didn't need to be too angry; Lyman was a double-edged sword.

Since Jiang Baobin used him to bring Weinberger carefully crafted false information, he should naturally suffer the backlash.

It's impossible for him to get all the benefits by himself.

These many thoughts only flashed through Jiang Baobin's mind.

Since it's difficult to answer, I might as well not answer.

Jiang Baobin crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

I'm ignoring you, you hothead.

Zhao Zhibang tried to coerce and bribe him for a while, but seeing that he wouldn't listen, he couldn't bring himself to torture him and left in a huff.

The middle-aged policeman who arrived later gave Jiang Baobin, who was pretending to be asleep, a meaningful look before following him out.

Jiang Baowu watched from the side the whole time, without saying a word, but his expression kept changing.

Jiang Baobin's performance can only be described as "unbelievable"—

Zhao Zhibang had a bandit-like air about him, and no one in the entire organization was afraid of him.

The third brother actually confronted him head-on! In the end, he even angered Zhao Zhibang to the point of leaving.

Jiang Baowu knew all too well what kind of tactics the Director used—if it were someone softer, they would have already resorted to torture.

The saying goes, "Under the three trees, what cannot one obtain?"

However, the facts were undeniable, and he had no choice but to believe them.

As soon as Zhao Zhibang left, he eagerly followed him out.

It's not that I still want to curry favor with the Chief—the Chief is in a bad mood right now, so it's best for me to stay away.

He really didn't know how to face Jiang Baobin. From now on, the two brothers would become enemies.

That's why he's all show and no substance.

There are no surveillance cameras these days, so if you don't take this opportunity to explain and say a few nice words, when will you ever get another chance?

Even if Jiang Baobin doesn't accept it, at least he made his stance clear.

To just slip away silently like that, wouldn't that completely destroy the bond between brothers?

Therefore, one must be responsible and not be cunning.

Don't be like Jiang Baowu, who tries to run away or hide when things come to a head; that won't solve anything.

You must know what is in your best interest, and then do everything you can to achieve that goal.

With consistent effort, like water dripping on a stone, one day you will reap a good harvest.

Jiang Baobin waited for a while, and when no one bothered him anymore, he opened his eyes.

He didn't even consider that with his gibberish, besides Zhao Zhibang, who would dare to mess with him?

Jiang Baobin looked around; it was an ordinary interrogation room.

Besides the table and chairs placed in the center of the room, there was a large, eye-catching lamp on the table.

The remaining space is against the wall, where there is a single wooden bed.

Forget about bedding; we'll only have straw mats.

Jiang Baobin leaned closer and crouched down to observe carefully for a while.

He was checking for fleas, bedbugs, or other such things.

He was born with lice and fleas when he inherited this body, which took him a lot of effort to get rid of.

After staring at it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.

He simply lay down—alas, day after day, the blessed don't have to work hard, while the unfortunate run themselves ragged.

He's so busy, while Rose can just sit at home and manage.

Okay, so that's just him being dramatic.

The reason he's holding on like this is because he's hoping she'll come and save him.

Therefore, it's perfectly acceptable for Rose, as the ultimate boss, to remain hidden behind the scenes.

I lay there for a while, but I still couldn't fall asleep.

Even with his thick skin, he couldn't possibly fall asleep in a place like this.

Out of sheer boredom, he brought up the "System Panel" to take a look.

Suddenly, a whole bunch of text that had been loaded last night and was only being refreshed now popped up!

He hadn't looked at it before, but once he did, Jiang Baobin jumped out of bed...

They say drinking leads to trouble, because this guy was completely drunk last night.

So even if the system sends out a bunch of new messages, he remains completely unaware:

"Ding! Hidden mission completed: Expose the Kuomintang's issuance of 'Gold Yuan' notes, which ultimately turned out to be an ugly scheme to plunder the people's wealth!"

"Mission requirements: In Beijing, Tianjin, Qingdao, and Shanghai respectively..."

"Rewards will be given as follows: ① 5 free attribute points; ② Mastery of 'Basic Sanda Boxing Techniques'."

××××××

"Ding! 'Having tasted the sweetness, you've triggered a hidden quest: Heading towards the other side of 'sexual bliss'!"

"Rewards will be given as follows: ① 1 free attribute point; ② Mastery of the health preservation method 'Iron Crotch Kung Fu'."

××××××

It's only natural that the system would give a reward after the task of distributing flyers was completed.

It was no easy feat! 8000 "notification letters" across four cities—Jiang Baobin really risked his life to do this!

Fortunately, the system kept its promise, and the reward was indeed quite good.

Each city grants 1 attribute point, and the final total quest adds another 1 point.

The "Basic Sanda Boxing Techniques" given are much more powerful than the previous skills.

The "Five-Step Boxing" is only considered an introductory routine in martial arts; in the words of experts, it's just a fancy move.

It's completely inadequate for hitting people.

"Sanshou boxing" is different; it already has practical application in combat.

For example, Jiang Baobin was previously hesitant to challenge a professional police officer like Jiang Baowu.

If you're going to fight a fight you might lose, aren't you out of your mind?

However, after mastering the "basic Sanda boxing techniques", their confidence skyrockets!

If he gets cornered again, he won't let Jiang Baowu off so easily like he did last time.

What a piece of trash! He's the most parasitic and incompetent member of the Jiang family; he needs to be taught a lesson...
