Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

Li Yu drove away from the Longxing factory.

The military off-road vehicle drove on the road leading to the military compound, and the atmosphere outside the window was no longer the same as before.

Along the roads surrounding the military region, every hundred meters a sentry stands armed with a rifle, the bayonets on their rifles gleaming coldly in the sunlight, their eyes scanning passing vehicles warily.

The intersection was set up with multiple checkpoints, military trucks blocked the road, and soldiers wearing bulletproof vests and carrying riot shields meticulously checked every vehicle entering and leaving.

After several checks, the off-road vehicle slowly drove into the military compound, where security was extremely tight.

The patrolling soldiers were in perfect formation, their steps firm and powerful. The armored vehicles moved slowly along the road, with the heavy machine guns on their roofs always on high alert.

The family members who used to be seen occasionally have long since disappeared, leaving only soldiers hurrying along, each with a solemn expression, silently telling the story of the tense atmosphere of the great battle.

Li Yu pushed open the car door and strode towards his dormitory building.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Bai Ling reading a book with her two children.

She was wearing a simple dress, and her face looked a little tired.

Seeing Li Yu, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over. "You're finally back! The news is full of reports about the naval battle. How's the situation now?"

"I see the Japanese fleet has been completely annihilated. Will they launch a landing operation afterward?"

Li Yu gently patted the back of her hand: "We'll talk about this later."

He stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.

He said to Bai Ling, "Have the driver take the two children to their parents' place."

Nannan brought her younger brother to Li Yu. "Daddy, are you and Mommy going out?"

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of my little brother."

Li Yu patted Nannan's head and said, "Daddy and Mommy are going to do something very important."

"Why don't you and your little brother go stay at your grandparents' house for a couple of days? Dad will come pick you and your brother up then, okay?"

"Don't worry, Dad, leave it to me."

Seeing Nannan holding her son's hand with one hand and patting her chest with the other, Bai Ling burst out laughing.

At this moment, the son babbled, "I will take care of the eldest sister."

Nannan slapped him on the head. "Kid, your big sister doesn't need your help."

"Hahaha"

Bai Ling and Li Yu burst into laughter upon seeing this.

Under Li Yu's arrangement, a guard left with the two children, and Bai Ling also called her parents.

As for what Li Yu was going to do, Bai Ling said she didn't know.

Watching the two children get into the car and leave, her unease grew stronger. She turned to Li Yu and asked, "What happened? Did you come back today because something important happened?"

Li Yu walked up to Bai Ling and looked at her earnestly: "Do you remember the time you were kidnapped? I told you that one day I would take you to Tokyo to personally collect this debt."

Bai Ling was stunned, her eyes filled with doubt. She tried hard to recall, and it seemed that she had indeed made such a joke at the time, but she had never taken it seriously.

"You... what did you say? Go to Tokyo now? There's a war going on there!" Her voice suddenly rose, full of disbelief.

"I've been preparing for this day for far too long."

"So, shall we go together?"

Shock swept over Bai Ling like a tidal wave. She stared blankly at Li Yu, speechless for a moment.

Immediately, an indescribable excitement welled up inside her; she knew Li Yu wouldn't joke around at a time like this.

She nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Okay! I'll go with you!"

Bai Ling returned to her room and changed into the military uniform she had been wearing. Although she had been providing logistical support for Li Yu for the past two years, her figure had not changed at all thanks to the Great Rejuvenation Pill. Moreover, she had strengthened her training during her time in the compound, and her physical fitness was now no weaker than before.

Looking at Bai Ling, who had changed her clothes, Li Yu realized that she was still exactly the same as when they first met in the steel mill dormitory.

Coming to his senses, Li Yu led Bai Ling to Longxing. The SUV sped along, heading straight for the runway behind the Longxing factory.

The guards at the gate saw Li Yu's car and did not stop him at all. They immediately raised the barrier and let him pass, their eyes full of awe.

The vehicle drove directly to the entrance of a huge warehouse. Li Yu got out of the car and used his exclusive key to open the heavy iron gate of the warehouse.

The iron gate slowly rose, and blinding light shone from inside the warehouse. Bai Ling subconsciously squinted.

When she saw the scene inside the warehouse, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

In the center of the warehouse, a two-seat fighter jet, entirely silver-white, sat quietly. Its streamlined fuselage exuded a futuristic feel, and its stealth coating gleamed faintly under the lights. Four uniquely shaped heavy bombs were mounted under its wings, radiating a chilling aura.

The design of this fighter jet far exceeded her expectations; every detail exuded an extreme sense of technology.

"This...this is..." Bai Ling's voice trembled, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"This is the improved and enhanced version of the Lingxiao two-seater."

When Li Yu destroyed the Western Communications Alliance, he received a sixth-generation fighter jet as a reward. At the time, Li Yu thought it was just blueprints, but he didn't expect it to be a real thing, and an enhanced version at that.

Furthermore, Li Yu was rewarded with top-notch flying skills.

Bai Ling was utterly shocked; she had never imagined that Li Yu was hiding such a secret.

Looking at the fighter jets in front of her, and thinking about her upcoming trip to Tokyo, she felt both nervous and excited.

Li Yu pulled Bai Ling onto the fighter jet, opened the cockpit canopy, and the two took their seats one after the other.

The holographic display in the cockpit lit up, with a dense stream of data scrolling by. Li Yu skillfully operated the control panel and started the fighter jet's engine.

A tremendous roar echoed inside the warehouse, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"Hold on tight."

Li Yu spoke to Bai Ling through the headset on his helmet, and then pushed the control stick.

The fighter jets slowly taxied out of the warehouse and onto the dedicated runway.

The military officials and Li Huaide stood at a distance, watching the fighter jet emerge from the warehouse, their eyes filled with extreme shock.

They finally understood that Li Yu's insistence on building this high-standard runway and sealing off the warehouse was all for the sake of this mysterious fighter jet.

They watched as the fighter jet accelerated rapidly on the runway, speechless with awe at the sight of this aircraft that was completely beyond their comprehension.

The fighter jets sped up faster and faster, and the moment they broke the sound barrier, the resulting sonic boom cloud, like a giant white wave, swept across the entire runway.

If their bodies hadn't been enhanced, this acceleration would have made them faint instantly.

Bai Ling gripped the handrail tightly, feeling the strong push against her back, watching the scenery outside the window rush past and eventually become a blur.

The fighter jets soared into the sky, speeding towards Tokyo, Japan.

Li Yu precisely locked onto the target using the airborne satellite positioning system.

The Japanese Prime Minister's residence, a Japanese military base, and that sacred toilet that holds countless memories of evil.

On the instrument panel, the target coordinates were clearly visible, and the speed of the fighter jet continued to increase. Just one hour later, the outline of the Japanese archipelago appeared on the distant horizon.
