Courtyard Houses: From Families of Martyrs and Orphans to Giants of the Times

Early the next morning.

Shanghai Guesthouse.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Lin Jian'an had already woken up.

He barely slept last night after the system issued several tasks in a row.

It's not that I'm nervous.

Instead, it was excitement.

From the discovery of Zhou Tianming to the excavation of Far East trade, and now to the emergence of the "Cobra".

The line finally began to become clearer.

Moreover, the system has given it an S+ rating.

This indicates that you have reached the true core level.

Danger is danger.

But the rewards are equally amazing.

Thinking about this...

Lin Jian'an opened the system panel.

Main Mission: Destroy the core network of Far East trade.

Completion: 35%

Special Mission: Lock onto the Cobra

Completion: 12%

[Talent Task: Recruit Gu Changfeng]

Completion: 72%

Construction of military production bases

Completion: 5%

Looking at the task panel.

Lin Jian'an made a decision quickly.

Let's take Gu Changfeng first.

Check for cobras again.

Talent is always the primary productive force.

As long as Gu Changfeng joins.

The upgrade speed of Hongxing Machinery Factory should at least double.

Many things will be much easier from now on.

I was just thinking about it.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

"Comrade Lin."

"Someone is looking for you."

The voices of staff members could be heard from outside the door.

Lin Jian'an was slightly taken aback.

So early?

Who will come looking for me?

open the door.

next second.

A familiar figure came into view.

Gu Changfeng.

They saw who had arrived.

Lin Jian'an immediately smiled.

It seems there's a result.

Gu Changfeng's face clearly showed signs of fatigue.

The dark circles under her eyes were slightly visible.

Clearly, I struggled with this a lot last night.

The two entered the room.

I just sat down.

Gu Changfeng then spoke directly.

"Lin Jian'an".

"I thought about it all night."

"Over there."

"Are you really prepared to develop your own precision mechanical systems?"

Lin Jian'an nodded.

"certainly."

"And it has already begun."

talking.

He produced some non-classified information about the military communications project.

Place it on the table.

Gu Changfeng opened it.

His expression changed instantly.

The more I look, the more shocked I become.

Especially when you see the core component manufacturing section.

My breathing became rapid.

these things.

It is definitely at a leading level in China.

Many of the design concepts were even beyond his comprehension.

A while later.

Gu Changfeng slowly put down the documents.

His gaze hardened completely.

"it is good."

"I'll go."

Just two short words.

But it caused the system to crash instantly.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, on successfully recruiting top talent]

Gu Changfeng officially joins the Red Star system.

Loyalty: 80

[Technical Level: 96]

[Reward points: 30000]

[A precision mechanics technology package will be awarded]

[Reward: 1 Talent Recruitment Opportunity]

Construction progress of Hongxing Machinery Plant has increased to 68%.

boom!

A series of notification sounds rang out.

Lin Jian'an's mood immediately improved.

Gu Changfeng finally succeeded.

Moreover, the loyalty level reaches 80.

It far exceeds the system's minimum requirements.

This shows that the other person truly approves of you.

It's not just about changing jobs.

Gu Changfeng let out a long breath.

It felt like a weight had been lifted from my heart.

"Starting today."

"I'll do it with you."

Lin Jian'an smiled and extended his hand.

Welcome to the team.

Their two hands were clasped tightly together.

This moment.

The Red Star system has gained another key player.

......

at the same time.

Shanghai Precision Machinery Factory.

Factory Director's Office.

boom!

The teacup was smashed to the ground.

Fragments flew everywhere.

Factory director Wang Deming's face turned ashen.

"Resign?"

"Did he really resign?"

The secretary nodded nervously.

"The formalities have been completed."

"The person is gone too."

Wang Deming's face grew increasingly grim.

Recently, many projects in the factory have relied on Gu Changfeng.

Although the two sides have different ideas.

But he didn't really want Gu Changfeng to leave.

Who knows what will happen?

It was actually poached by someone else.

"check!"

"Investigate!"

"Who did this?!"

A few minutes later.

The secretary whispered:

"I heard..."

"It's Lin Jian'an."

Upon hearing this name...

Wang Deming was stunned on the spot.

Recently, the entire industrial system...

Who hasn't heard of Lin Jian'an's name?

Project leader for military communications.

A key figure being groomed by the military.

This kind of people.

Let alone poaching Gu Changfeng.

They poached half of the factory's key technical personnel.

He had nowhere to turn for justice.

Thinking about this...

Wang Deming was immediately discouraged.

I sat back down in my chair.

His face was full of bitterness.

"It's over."

"This time, someone really stole it."

......

the other side.

Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Industry.

After Chen Haifeng learned the news.

I was so happy I almost slammed my fist on the table.

"Did it work?"

"It really worked?"

"Gu Changfeng left with you?"

Lin Jian'an nodded.

Chen Haifeng laughed heartily.

"OK!"

"They should have left long ago!"

"Those people haven't valued technical talent at all in recent years."

"It's a waste to keep Gu Changfeng there."

Lin Jian'an smiled.

There was no response.

However, he understood in his heart.

This is also a problem of our times.

Many people value output.

Value the task.

However, they neglected the accumulation of technical expertise.

And the next few decades.

What truly determines the level of industrial development.

It is precisely technology.

......

in the afternoon.

Lin Jian'an and Gu Changfeng left the Industrial Bureau together.

Preparing to return to the guesthouse.

But I had just stepped out the door.

A system alarm suddenly sounded.

【warn! 】

[Anomaly detected in target]

Quantity: 4

[Distance: 150 meters]

[Danger Level: B]

Lin Jian'an paused slightly.

coming.

They arrived as expected.

Gu Changfeng has just joined.

People engaged in Far Eastern trade appeared.

It's fast enough.

Thinking about this...

Lin Jian'an continued walking forward without making a sound.

At the same time, observe the situation through the system map.

Four red dots.

They are located in different parts of the street.

They have clearly received professional training.

Ordinary people can't even detect it.

Just then.

Gu Changfeng suddenly lowered his voice.

"There's someone following behind."

Lin Jian'an was taken aback.

She then looked at him.

Gu Changfeng smiled bitterly.

Don't forget.

"I used to be involved in military projects."

"I've seen this kind of tail quite a few times."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Jian'an was delighted.

It seems I underestimated this expert.

No wonder he has a system rating of 96.

Their observation skills are truly remarkable.

"Can we get rid of him?"

Gu Changfeng asked softly.

Lin Jian'an shook his head.

"No rush."

"Let's see what they're up to."

......

Twenty minutes later.

The two came to a relatively secluded path.

There were fewer and fewer pedestrians around.

Just then.

Two men suddenly appeared in front of us.

People also blocked their way from behind.

Four people.

This forms a perfect encirclement.

Gu Changfeng's expression changed slightly.

"Coming for me?"

Lin Jian'an laughed.

"No."

"They're coming for me."

really.

The leading man spoke coldly.

"Lin Jian'an".

"Come with us."

Upon hearing this...

Gu Changfeng was immediately stunned.

Good guy.

Is it Masaki Hayashi Ken'an who came?

But the next second.

Lin Jian'an asked a question directly.

"Far East trade?"

Swish!

The expressions on the faces of the four people changed simultaneously.

Obviously, this was unexpected.

The other party actually revealed their identities directly.

And the change in expression in that instant.

That has already explained everything.

Lin Jian'an's smile grew wider and wider.

found it.

These guys really couldn't hold back.

The man in the lead narrowed his eyes.

"It seems you know quite a bit."

"Then we definitely have to make the trip."

talking.

The group slowly approached.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

However, Lin Jian'an remained completely calm.

Because of the system map.

Several green dots are rapidly approaching.

The security personnel have arrived.

next second.

A furious shout suddenly came from the street corner.

"stop!"

"Don't move!"

boom!

More than a dozen plainclothes officers rushed out instantly.

They surrounded the four people directly.

The situation reversed instantly.

The man in the lead's expression changed drastically.

"withdraw!"

It's a pity it's too late.

Less than a minute.

All four were pinned to the ground.

Seeing this scene.

Gu Changfeng was dumbfounded.

He thought something bad was going to happen today.

As it turned out, Lin Jian'an had already laid an ambush beforehand.

That's a fast reaction time.

Simply outrageous.

Lin Jian'an then looked at the men who had been subdued.

His gaze gradually turned cold.

We finally caught them alive.

Just then.

The system notification sounded again.

[Far East Trade Members Successfully Apprehended]

[Hidden Quest Completion Rate Increased]

Current progress: 43%

[Key Clues Obtained]

[Target: Huangpu River Pier No. 3]

Signs of cobra activity detected

boom!

Lin Jian'an's eyes suddenly lit up.

Huangpu River Pier No. 3!

We've finally found a breakthrough.

Meanwhile.

A warehouse located somewhere along the Huangpu River.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses slowly put down the phone.

His face turned gloomy for the first time.

"Did you miss?"

The subordinates beside him lowered their heads and dared not speak.

The air pressure inside the warehouse was frighteningly low.

After a while.

The cobra suddenly laughed.

But that smile sent chills down my spine.

"interesting."

"This is getting more and more interesting."

"It seems I underestimated him."

Done.

He slowly got up.

Heading deeper into the warehouse.

There was a safe there.

After opening.

Inside was a top-secret file.

There are three words written on the cover.

Project Falcon

And the first page.

There was a photo attached.

The people in the photo.

It was Lin Jian'an.

The cobra gently stroked the photograph.

His eyes were cold.

"Since ordinary methods are ineffective..."

"Then let's move on to the third stage."

"Lin Jian'an".

I hope you won't let me down.

at the same time.

The system alarm suddenly went off.

【warn! 】

[Phase Three of Project Falcon Launched]

[Danger level raised to S]

A major crisis has been detected approaching.

I saw the notification.

Lin Jian'an slowly raised his head.

Their gaze was directed toward the Huangpu River.

He had a premonition.

A real clash.

It's about to begin.
