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

early morning.

Dark clouds covered the sky above the capital.

The air was thick with a sultry heat.

Inside the temporary command post of the Mechanical Research Institute.

Everyone had been working all night.

The ashtray on the table was piled high with cigarette butts.

The map covered the entire conference table.

Lin Jian'an sat at the very front.

But his eyes were exceptionally bright.

The information the system analyzed last night still resonates with him.

The Night Owl's real goal is not simply to steal technology.

Instead, they wanted to use the Eastern Industrial Plan to establish a complete industrial system overseas.

Industrial machine tools.

Aircraft engine.

Precision numerical control system.

Once the three technologies are completed...

They even have the capability to build their own military production chain.

This is the consequence.

Just thinking about it makes my head tingle.

Chen Zhenhua's voice was low and deep.

"Jian'an".

"Still thinking about yesterday?"

Lin Jian'an nodded.

"Night owls are more dangerous than we think."

"This time we must wipe them all out."

Zhao Changhe said in a cold voice.

"rest assured."

"They can't escape this time."

talking.

He placed a document on the table.

"Breaking news."

"The relocation plan has been finalized."

"Tonight at eight o'clock."

"Shen Tiancheng set off from the textile factory in the eastern suburbs."

"We are expected to enter the Xishan area at 9:20."

Lin Jian'an picked up the document and examined it carefully.

The route is basically consistent with yesterday's prediction.

The key is.

They had to make their move before entering Xishan.

Otherwise, once they get close to the base...

The situation then becomes complicated.

Dean Zhou asked.

What to do after rescuing someone?

Lin Jian'an smiled slightly.

"Of course, we follow the clues to find the source."

"Let them think the plan has succeeded."

"Then find an opportunity to enter the Xishan base."

Everyone nodded in unison.

This is also the safest approach at present.

Just then.

The system voice suddenly sounded.

[Target Discovery]

Grey Wolf

Current location: East Suburb Textile Factory

Status: High Alert

[He is expected to personally escort Shen Tiancheng tonight.]

Lin Jian'an's eyes lit up.

The gray wolf personally took action.

That actually made things simpler.

As long as we catch the gray wolf.

Many secrets will be uncovered.

Time passed little by little.

The whole day.

The capital city remained outwardly calm.

But secretly.

Large numbers of people have begun to gather in the designated area.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

The action team officially set off.

Three ordinary trucks.

Two jeeps.

They were all disguised as a transport team.

There are no special markings.

Lin Jian'an and Gu Changfeng sat in the last car.

Gu Changfeng rubbed his hands together.

He seemed somewhat excited.

"Jian'an".

"This time we can finally pull off a big heist."

Lin Jian'an laughed and scolded.

"You're a mechanical engineer."

"He's starting to look more and more like Captain Zhao."

Gu Changfeng chuckled.

"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red."

"If I hang out with them every day, it would be a shame not to learn some skills."

The two were talking.

The communicator in front suddenly rang.

"Attention all units"

"The target has made a move."

"The target has made a move."

The atmosphere inside the car instantly became serious.

Lin Jian'an immediately closed his eyes.

System scan fully activated.

next second.

The internal situation of the textile factory in the eastern suburbs has been fully revealed.

Underground warehouse.

Shen Tiancheng was sitting in a chair.

Although I am a little tired.

But overall, the condition is not bad.

Meanwhile, Gray Wolf was conducting a final check with several of his men.

"Bring the person out."

"We'll be departing in ten minutes."

soon.

Shen Tiancheng was put into a vehicle.

The convoy slowly drove out of the textile factory.

There were five cars in total.

There were guards both in front and behind.

They seem very cautious.

However, what they didn't know was...

At this moment.

At least three task forces are secretly tracking them.

8:40 PM.

The convoy entered the designated area.

This is an abandoned highway.

Both sides are lined with trees.

There are almost no vehicles passing by normally.

This is the ideal ambush location.

The gray wolf sat in the front car.

His expression remained tense throughout.

I don't know why.

Starting this morning.

He always had a sense of unease.

It has been checked many times.

No problems were found.

"Am I overthinking it?"

The gray wolf frowned.

Just then.

A truck that had broken down suddenly appeared ahead.

It was blocking the middle of the road.

The driver quickly stepped on the brakes.

crunch--

The entire convoy came to a stop.

Gray Wolf's expression changed instantly.

"wrong!"

"Turn around!"

However, it was too late.

boom!

A loud bang suddenly rang out.

The road behind was completely blocked by obstacles.

Followed by.

The lights around them turned on at the same time.

Dozens of figures rushed out of the woods.

"action!"

"Arrest them!"

Gunshots rang out instantly.

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

The gray wolf roared.

"There's an ambush!"

"Protect the target!"

pity.

Everything happened too fast.

They were just preparing to fight back.

The action team had already rushed up close.

The two sides engaged in fierce fighting.

On the other side...

Lin Jian'an has a clear goal.

They headed straight for the vehicle where Shen Tiancheng was being held.

The system kept prompting.

Armed target detected

[Hazard Level B]

[Recommended to avoid]

Armed target detected

[Hazard Level C]

Faced with the prompt.

Lin Jian'an moved with astonishing speed.

In just a few dozen seconds.

Several enemies have already been taken down.

The car door was suddenly pulled open.

Shen Tiancheng inside was clearly stunned.

"Who are you?"

Lin Jian'an smiled.

"Old Shen."

"I am Lin Jian'an from Hongxing Machinery Factory."

"We've come to take you home."

Shen Tiancheng's body jolted violently.

next second.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

this time.

He was even prepared to die here.

did not expect.

The government has indeed sent people.

"it is good."

"OK!"

"I knew it."

"The country will not forget us old folks."

Lin Jian'an quickly helped him up.

"Old Shen."

"Let's get out of here first."

"We'll talk about other things later."

at the same time.

the other side.

The gray wolf has been driven to the brink of despair.

Almost all of his men fell.

Zhao Changhe slowly approached, gun in hand.

"Grey Wolf".

"it's over."

The gray wolf's face was gloomy.

"dream!"

Done.

Suddenly, he pulled out a hand grenade.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

However, before he could even pull the safety pin...

A figure rushed over.

It was Lin Jian'an.

boom!

He kicked it out.

The grenade flew directly into the distance.

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out in the woods.

The gray wolf was also kicked to the ground.

Zhao Changhe seized the opportunity.

He pounced on it.

A few seconds later.

Gray Wolf's hands were tightly handcuffed.

This high-ranking member of the Night Owl gang has finally been captured.

The battle is over.

The site was quickly cleared.

Watching the gray wolf being led away.

Lin Jian'an finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The first step was successful.

Shen Tiancheng has been rescued.

The gray wolf has also been caught.

Next.

That is the most crucial Xishan base.

However, at that moment...

The system suddenly emitted a piercing alarm.

【warning】

【warning】

[Abnormal communication detected]

Lin Jian'an's expression changed slightly.

Check it out immediately.

next second.

An encrypted communication was cracked by the system.

"Grey Wolf has gone missing."

"The convoy has lost contact."

"The probability of the operation failing is 91%."

"Activate Plan B immediately."

See here.

Lin Jian'an's heart sank.

not good.

The people in Xishan have realized what's happening.

really.

The system screen switched rapidly.

Inside the underground base.

Zhou Hongyuan was standing in the conference room.

His face was extremely ugly.

"The plan has been exposed."

"Destroy all external data immediately."

"Transfer the core database."

Everyone sprang into action instantly.

On the other side of the conference room.

The man addressed as "sir" appeared unusually calm.

He slowly picked up the teacup.

I took a small sip.

"What's the panic?"

Zhou Hongyuan said hurriedly.

"gentlemen."

"The gray wolf has been captured."

"We must evacuate immediately."

The man smiled faintly.

"Evacuate?"

"Why evacuate?"

In a word.

It left everyone stunned.

Then.

The man slowly stood up.

Walk up to the map.

Their gaze fell upon the core area of ​​the Xishan base.

"They thought they had won."

"actually."

"The real game has just begun."

Done.

He gently pressed a button.

next second.

The deepest part of the three underground levels.

A heavy metal door slowly opened.

The system notification is flashing wildly.

[Hidden Area Discovered]

[Four underground levels discovered]

[A super-large laboratory has been discovered]

[Unknown engineering project discovered]

[Hazard Level: SS]

boom!

Seeing this scene.

Lin Jian'an's pupils suddenly contracted.

Four underground floors?

There's even a fourth floor!

Moreover, the entire system had not been fully discovered before.

at the same time.

New information slowly emerged.

[Analysis successful]

Project Name: Project Sky

[Confidentiality Level: SSS]

[Related: Eastern Industrial Plan]

[Project Leader: Mr.]

Estimated completion time: three months

【warning】

This project poses an extremely high threat level.

See the last sentence.

A storm raged in Lin Jian'an's heart.

The Eastern Industrial Project was not the end of the story.

Behind it.

There was actually an even bigger plan hidden behind it.

Project Sky.

But the Night Owl leader's true trump card.

Only now has the tip of the iceberg been revealed.
