Courtyard House: The Road to an Industrial Power

In front of the deaf old woman's door.

Lin Weidong kicked the broken door in front of him away.

"Bang!"

Wood chips flew everywhere.

Lin Weidong looked at the simple room in front of him. Apart from a bed and a large wooden box at the head of the bed, a large wardrobe against the wall and a small table in the center of the room, there was nothing else.

Looking at the scratches on the floor next to the wardrobe, caused by repeatedly moving the wardrobe.

Lin Weidong overturned the wardrobe and saw a stone slab on the ground that was noticeably cleaner than the one next to it.

I stepped onto the stone slab and stomped on it a few times.

It emitted an empty echo.

Lin Weidong immediately stomped his foot down.

"Bang!"

The stone slab shattered with a crack.

A crowd of onlookers had gathered outside. They had all been helping out at Sha Zhu's house, but when they saw Lin Weidong covered in blood walking toward the deaf old lady's house...

Everyone couldn't resist coming forward to join in the fun.

When they saw Lin Weidong break the stone slab, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Some were amazed by Lin Weidong's immense power.

"My God, what kind of power is this?"

"Director Lin is truly a hidden talent."

There was also discussion about why the deaf old woman's house had a secret room.

"Look, that dark, gaping hole...it must be a secret room!"

"It looks like it," a middle-aged woman said, craning her neck to look.

While everyone was discussing, Lin Weidong stepped down from the secret room.

"Da da da!"

Lin Weidong's footsteps echoed rhythmically in the basement passageway.

The deaf old woman, who was happily sitting in the basement, heard a loud bang, followed by the sound of footsteps in the corridor.

The deaf old woman immediately pulled a pistol from her pocket, and the two Japanese agents who remained in the corner to guard Su Wanqing also drew their pistols.

"Click click"

Two crisp sounds.

The two men, each holding a loaded pistol, slowly approached the entrance to the passage.

The three men had serious expressions. The deaf old woman's hand trembled slightly, but she and the other two slowly pointed their pistols at the dark entrance to the passage.

We're just waiting for the person inside to show up.

Da da da!

The footsteps grew closer.

Suddenly, Su Wanqing shouted, "Wei Dong, there's a gun! Get out of the way!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the deaf old woman fired her gun out of nervousness.

At the same time, two Japanese agents also opened fire, and in an instant, gunshots rang out at the entrance of the passage!

They formed a continuous expanse.

Just a few seconds later, all three stopped firing.

Su Wanqing's heart was pounding, her eyes were fixed on the passageway, and her mind was completely blank.

She was completely unable to think straight; she only hoped to see Lin Weidong emerge unharmed.

The deaf old woman looked at the two people beside her. Before the three of them could lower their hands, a sharp pain suddenly came from their wrists.

All three men's pistols fell to the ground at the same time.

This sudden turn of events left Su Wanqing, who was tied to the chair behind her, stunned.

The three of them looked at the passageway in front of them in horror.

Then a person walked out of the dark passage, holding a stone shard in his hand, with a bloodstain on its sharp edge.

The deaf old woman stared at Lin Weidong's face, her heart pounding. The two agents quickly bent down to pick up the pistol on the ground.

The moment their fingers touched the pistol, their vision blurred, and several sounds of bones breaking rang out.

"what!"

The two men instantly knelt on the ground, clutching their hands that had been completely crushed into pieces and screaming.

"Wei Dong!"

Upon seeing the person appear before her, Su Wanqing couldn't help but shout.

Lin Weidong looked at Su Wanqing and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was unharmed.

In that instant, the deaf old woman pulled a dagger from her cane and stabbed it at Lin Weidong's chest.

"careful"

Su Wanqing exclaimed in surprise.

Before he finished speaking, Lin Weidong gently pinched the dagger in front of his chest with two fingers.

"What?!"

The deaf old woman stared incredulously at the dagger that was caught in the hole.

"Looks like you're turning down a chance to survive?"

After saying that, Lin Weidong tightened his fingers and the dagger snapped in two.

A flash of cold light.

"puff!"

A dagger appeared between the deaf old woman's eyebrows.

The deaf old woman felt Lin Weidong gradually being enveloped in darkness, and her body slowly fell to the ground.

The two people kneeling on the ground stopped shouting and just gritted their teeth, staring intently at Lin Weidong.

On the left, Inoue Taro opened his mouth and asked, "Li-kun, are you... still alive?"

These few words almost exhausted him, and his face was now covered in sweat from the intense pain.

Lin Weidong didn't answer his question, but instead said to Su Wanqing behind him, "Wanqing, close your eyes first. The following scene is not suitable for girls to watch."

Su Wanqing initially wanted to say that she could do it, but she decided to listen to Lin Weidong.

So he slowly closed his eyes, glanced back, and then smiled.

Turning to Inoue Taro, he said calmly, "This is what happened to him."

After saying that, Lin Weidong grabbed the person next to him.

"Thump!"

A human head slowly rolled down in front of him.

"Did you see that clearly? This is his fate!"

Taro Inoue stared at Lin Weidong in terror, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Devil...devil!"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he opened his mouth to bite the collar, but Lin Weidong reacted quickly and ripped off the other man's collar.

Then he opened his palm, and there was a white pill and a piece of rag in his hand.

"Looks like you're still not entirely honest?"

After saying that, he slapped the other person across the face, knocking out a row of their teeth.

Then came another slap, and Inoue said goodbye to solid food from then on, if he ever had the chance to eat again.

Just as Lin Weidong was helping Su Wanqing walk out, a large group of police officers and soldiers arrived at the courtyard.

At first, many people thought it was because of the deaths of He Daqing and Zhang.

However, after entering, the other party took control of everyone without saying a word and then walked towards the backyard.

Just as they arrived at the deaf old lady's doorstep, they met Lin Weidong and Su Wanqing.

The man in military uniform was a regimental commander, his face serious. Upon seeing Lin Weidong, he immediately asked, "Factory Director Lin, are you alright?"

Lin Weidong steadily supported Su Wanqing, looked at the regimental commander in front of him, and said, "I'm fine."

The city police chief stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Lin's clothes stained with dark red blood, and asked in a grave tone, "Director Lin, what is this blood on you...?"

"Other people's."

The regimental commander immediately waved his hand, and several soldiers quickly took action.

Everyone who was watching in the courtyard was cleared out of the backyard.

Only Lin Weidong, Su Wanqing, and core military and police personnel remained.

Lin Weidong briefly explained the whole story: "The deaf old woman colluded with Japanese spies."

"They used a secret passage to kidnap Su Wanqing and blackmail me."

"There is still one survivor left in the basement."

The regimental commander and the bureau chief's expressions tightened, and they immediately arranged for people to enter the secret room to arrest the person.

Lin Weidong looked at Su Wanqing, whose face was slightly pale, and said to the two of them:

"Let's go wash up and change our clothes first, and then go to the Municipal Bureau to give a detailed statement."

The military forces then quickly withdrew, leaving only city police officers and special agents who had followed them.

Inoue Taro was taken out of the secret room and interrogated on the spot.

Inoue, who had long been terrified by Lin Weidong.

He revealed Li Yichuan's identity as a Japanese spy, his conspiracy to steal man-portable air defense missile technology, Yi Zhonghai's training to commit murder, and the layout of the secret passage.

The interrogators were all terrified after hearing the report.
