The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Two coal trucks sped through the dark night in the snowy forest, one after the other.

Yang Dalin was unfamiliar with the Russians' geographical location and felt it would be better to have them guide him.

He'll definitely need to report to his superiors so he can bring a few more of their superiors back with him.

Or find their home base in China and get some information about them.

Otherwise, if I were to recklessly pursue them into Russian territory, I would definitely be investigated when I return.

Make more significant contributions; even if it means offsetting one's merits against one's demerits, that would be fine.

Yang Dalin hoped the other party would quickly contact his supervisor or the department he belonged to.

After driving for six or seven hours, the vehicle finally arrived at the edge of a city.

Yang Dalin didn't know which city it was.

As soon as the blue-eyed truck entered the city, Yang Dalin noticed that the driver got out of the truck and was trying to break into a house as it passed the first house.

Yang Dalin found it strange; why was he going into someone else's house at this time?

When he parked his car and walked over, he realized that the old man wanted to make a phone call.

Yang Dalin would definitely not allow him to make the call to call for reinforcements.

Wouldn't that be too much trouble?

So Yang Dalin found the telephone line directly from outside, and before he could even make a call, the telephone line had already been cut by Yang Dalin.

Blue eyes, hello, after a few "feeding" sounds, I realized I couldn't make the call.

They can't even get a word in with a trusted superior beforehand.

Karlov was furious.

We had no choice but to leave this house and get back into the car.

I originally wanted to call another family member's phone number, but then I thought that if I called again, they might cut the phone line.

Useless.

Then we'll have to lure them into a military camp or a branch of their intelligence agency.

If I can't handle him by myself, can't I just trap him like a turtle in a jar?

Karlov did not stop in front of the second house; he prepared to continue driving.

Drive directly to the city's intelligence branch.

The intelligence bureaus in border cities wield considerable power.

If we send in more people, we'll definitely be able to surround and kill them.

However, after driving for a while, Karlov suddenly saw a house that he recognized.

This is the house of several of my familiar comrades-in-arms.

If you can't handle him by yourself, you can ask some of his comrades for help.

These comrades all had guns and were elites who had fought countless battles.

I believe I can give my comrades credit without any problem.

It would be best to catch the stalker first.

Otherwise, if I lead him directly to the intelligence branch, and it causes a major loss to my unit's personnel, wouldn't I be in trouble?

So Karlov wanted to give it another try.

They wanted to capture Yang Dalin alive.

Karlov drove up to the vicinity of the house, quickly got out, and made a commotion to wake up his comrades inside, shouting a few words.

Yang Dalin couldn't understand the Russian's words, but he knew that the kid was looking for help.

This was not what he wanted. Although he didn't know what location it was, since the other party dared to shout loudly, they must be one of their people.

This is a residential house; it's probably not their hideout.

Yang Dalin quickly parked the car in a secluded corner.

Then get out of the car and walk around the front of the house.

I ran to the back of that house.

Yang Dalin heard the breathing of three people inside the house.

There was also the sound of a gun being cocked.

Yang Dalin guessed that the other party must know Blue Eyes, so he had to strike first.

We can't let the three of them get together.

The blue-eyed man at the front door wasn't allowed to enter the house immediately. The people inside were also being cautious, talking loudly with Karlov in front.

Yang Dalin didn't understand, but he knew it wasn't anything nice. He quickly went inside, subdued the three people, and then searched the place to see if it was a hideout for Blue Eyes.

Yang Dalin approached the back wall, flipped over and jumped into the backyard, then carefully watched his step.

If there are any landmines or anything like that, we're doomed.

Fortunately, this must be where they live, and there are no landmines or other defensive weapons.

I don't own a dog.

To avoid alerting others, Yang Dalin used the crossbow he had signed in with instead of using a gun.

He first located the telephone line and then cut off the other party's telephone line.

Then he gathered the snow from under his feet and quietly approached the house.

Yang Dalin didn't know what the house was like, but he could tell the exact location of the three people by their breathing.

The problem is how to get into the house and take care of the three people without firing a shot.

Yang Dalin carefully examined the back wall of the house. It was sturdy, making it difficult for him to break in. However, he glanced up at the roof.

Yang Dalin came up with a solution.

Yang Dalin pulled a ladder out of the space and climbed onto the roof of a room where no one was inside.

First, collect some snow from the roof, then the roof tiles, then the roof planks, then some straw, then a moisture-proof cloth, and then another layer of roof planks.

Yang Dalin quietly collected all of these.

Hearing the sound, Yang Dalin thought someone had opened the door and was about to welcome Blue Eyes into the house. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Dalin crawled directly into the hole he had made.

Hooking onto the wooden plank, they quietly entered the room.

The other three people didn't hear a sound at all.

Because all three of them were focused on Karlov as he entered the house.

Yang Dalin took out his crossbow again, put his heavy coat into his spatial storage, and suddenly pulled open the door to the house.

He instantly appeared in the living room where the four people were.

The living room lights were off because they knew there was danger; turning them on would be suicide.

Yang Dalin's view was unobstructed, but once the door was opened, they could still sense the cold wind coming in through the broken roof. Unfortunately, no matter how fast they reacted, they couldn't be as fast as Yang Dalin, and they still couldn't see clearly.

Yang Dalin shot one of them dead with a crossbow bolt, then flipped his hand and stored the bolt away in his spatial storage.

He moved directly in front of the other two people before they could react.

Yang Dalin then seized the gun from the other party and stored it in his spatial storage.

Then he knocked the two people unconscious with two blows.

Even with his poor eyesight, Karlov could still see a dark figure attacking his comrade at such close range, but he dared not fire his gun.

After all, he saw his comrade-in-arms and the other side already fighting.

Before he could react, Karlov felt a sharp pain in his wrist; his gun had been knocked away.

He was also kicked, and was kicked out of the house.

Karlov was out of pistols, but he had a submachine gun in his backpack. He didn't have time to pull it out; his first instinct was to run away and call for backup, not to rush back into the house to die.

Seeing that Blue Eyes had run away, Yang Dalin decided to leave him alone for the time being.

Yang Dalin used a dagger to kill the three people.

I quickly searched the three people's room and put all the weapons into my storage space.

I also found some money and some food, which I'll put into my spatial storage later.

Yang Dalin figured the three people were hiding something else, but he didn't have time to search any further.

He returned the way he came, put away the ladder, and left the roof unattended.

They released the snow they had collected on their way here, covering their footprints.

Yang Dalin continued his pursuit of the blue-eyed man.
