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

Yang Dalin went to the room opposite this one. This room was locked, but Yang Dalin had extremely good hearing and strength, and he quickly opened the lock with a wire.

If all else fails, just forcefully pull off the lock strap and lock lug.

This room is the same size as the one across the street, but it only has a desk, a sofa, and a coffee table.

This must be their boss's office.

There are three safes, two large and one small.

The cabinets behind are made of metal, so it seems there's more important information here.

Yang Dalin found several certificates in the desk.

There were also two pistols with several magazines, a brand new AKM with several magazines containing hundreds of bullets, some banknotes, and some gold bars.

That's a really good habit.

Yang Dalin kept the good stuff for himself and also stored the materials in his space.

The three safes will be handed over to China later.

Yang Dalin then cleaned up the empty office on the third floor.

Finally, they killed all the people in the two occupied offices with a dagger.

We can't leave any survivors; it's better to kill them all. Leaving them around is a waste of air.

Yang Dalin chose to store two of the corpses in his spatial storage, leaving two behind.

Then came the second floor. Yang Dalin didn't find any important documents there, but he did find a lot of weapons, as well as gold bars and banknotes.

There were two safes, which Yang Dalin also took.

Yang Dalin didn't rush to clean the first floor. He carefully went down the stairs to the basement.

Damn, the security here is pretty tight.

There are two guards standing at the bottom of the stairs.

Yang Dalin could no longer get through silently; he had to kill those two men first.

If we don't kill them, we can't search the basement.

There must be an even bigger secret on the basement level.

Yang Dalin then grabbed his dagger, suddenly flashed out, and stabbed at one person while simultaneously kicking another.

The two guards suddenly saw a blindfolded person, whose head was covered with a cloth and only his eyes were visible, attacking them.

Before I could even react, I was killed.

Yang Dalin slit a man's throat and covered the wound with a cotton coat he had grabbed, preventing the blood from spurting out.

Then Yang Dalin put his corpse into his spatial storage, and the other person who had been kicked unconscious received the same treatment.

The entire basement level is made up of steel doors.

There was no one in the hallway.

But Yang Dalin could hear that there were people in all four rooms.

Three of the rooms were occupied by people fast asleep.

There were four people in one of the rooms, and it seemed like they were interrogating someone.

There was a painful scream coming from inside the room, but the room was well soundproofed, and the sound could be heard very little from the outside.

Yang Dalin temporarily ignored the interrogation room and went to one of the rooms where people were sleeping.

There was also a wooden sign on the door, which Yang Dalin couldn't understand.

He quietly opened the door with a wire.

There was another wooden door inside the steel door, and the whole building was heated.

So it's not cold on the basement level.

Yang Dalin had already taken off all his coats and other protective gear.

They went into action lightly and with ease.

When the wooden door opened, Yang Dalin discovered that there was someone lying on the sofa sleeping right in front of him.

There is also a steel gate and a fence next to it.

It's full of steel cabinets; it looks like a data room.

Yang Dalin stepped forward and killed the man on the spot.

He did indeed have the key on him.

Yang Dalin used a key to open the steel fence gate.

Yang Dalin put all the documents inside, along with the cabinet, into his space.

There was no time to open it and take a look.

Let's talk about it later.

Yang Dalin followed the same method and went to the next room where someone was.

This room is an armory.

It's probably where their spies collect their equipment.

Yang Dalin preferred this one and confiscated all the weapons and ammunition in the room.

There are also some special items inside, such as medicines, injections, poisons, and some special weapons, such as pen-shaped projectiles and umbrella-shaped weapons.

There was also a lot of explosives, which Yang Dalin didn't let go of either.

Yang Dalin accepted them all with a smile.

Yang Dalin then went to another room where there was only one person.

This room is the finance office.

Inside were quite a few gold bars, rubles, US dollars, British pounds, exquisite domestic antiques and calligraphy and paintings, and even a considerable number of large ten-dollar coins and other domestic currencies.

A rough calculation suggests that the amount of money in China is probably in the hundreds of thousands.

Yang Dalin knew that the large black ten in China was printed with the help of the other party.

I don't know if these big black tens are fake.

It doesn't feel like there's anything wrong with it.

However, Yang Dalin knew that the "Big Black Ten" would be discontinued in China in a few years.

It's likely that the Russians themselves secretly printed the "Big Ten" (a large sum of money) in an attempt to wage financial warfare.

This is something we need to remind people in China: keep the gold, but if you can't handle the paper money, hand it over.

It's better if the Russians' conspiracy is discovered in China sooner rather than later.

Keeping so many big black numbers is completely useless.

After all, there are too many of them, and they won't be worth much in the collector's market in the future.

The reason why the "Big Black Ten" denominations became valuable in later generations is because these coins were later exchanged and destroyed by banks.

The market supply is extremely limited, which is why they are highly valued in the coin collecting market.

If you keep a lot of it yourself, then this thing won't be worth much in the future.

Gold and future unity will still be useful.

However, Yang Dalin felt that even if the money wasn't counterfeit, it might have been printed privately by the other party.

It might even have the same serial number as some domestic currencies.

It could actually be counterfeit money.

If you take the flowers yourself, and they find out you're the one who's causing trouble, you're just asking for trouble.

Fortunately, Yang Dalin decided it was best to leave it untouched and hand it over.

After ransacking the room, Yang Dalin had a very good haul.

Yang Dalin then opened and inspected all the other rooms, taking away everything useful and leaving behind everything useless.

Yang Dalin finally arrived at the room where the interrogation was taking place.

Yang Dalin pressed his ear against the door to listen to the sounds inside.

They were speaking Chinese inside; the person being interrogated was a fellow countryman.

One of them even said, "Are you going to talk or not? Are you going to talk or not?"

The screams of another person being interrogated were heart-wrenching, clearly indicating that they were being tortured.

Yang Dalin dared not open the door directly with the wire, as there were three interrogators inside, and they would easily discover him.

Yang Dalin came up with a good idea. He knocked on the door, but the person inside didn't open it immediately. Instead, they opened a small window in the door to see who was outside.

Unfortunately, he was met with a silenced pistol that Yang Dalin had looted.

It's not that there was no sound at all, but the sound was very faint.

People on the first floor definitely can't hear it.

The man was shot in the head at close range and fell down.

The figures of the other two people were revealed.

Yang Dalin fired two more shots, killing the other two people.

Only then did he carefully open the door and enter the house.

Yang Dalin fired another shot at the three men.

A person covered in blood, beaten, is tied to a cross.

There was also a branding iron lying on the ground next to it, and there were many different kinds of torture instruments in the room.

Yang Dalin observed the victim, who was on the verge of death.

However, you can still tell that this person has yellow skin.

Yang Dalin shook the other person awake.

The other person weakly opened their eyes and looked at the situation in front of them.

Yang Dalin first fed the other person a few sips of warm sugar water.

Yang Dalin asked, "Who are you?"

Upon hearing the familiar native language, the other person glanced at the three corpses lying at their feet.

His eyes lit up a little: "Are you... a comrade from China who came to rescue me?"

Thank you... for coming to save me. You should leave now, it's too dangerous here. You can't leave even if you take me with you, I'm already dying.

Please pass on a message to my hometown for me. I didn't say anything.

I hope my family back home will take good care of me.

Yang Dalin knew that his body was indeed failing, and that all he was saying now was a kind of dying euphoria. Yang Dalin quickly asked, "What's your name? I really can't take you with me, but I can take your body back."

"It will allow you to be buried in your hometown."
