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

Fortunately, Yang Dalin can swim and has a basic understanding of the sport; otherwise, he might not have made it in time for this mission.

If he can't swim, then we'll have to find another way.

For example, they could contact their own people on the other side of the strait and ask them to send a fishing boat to pick them up.

However, this connection will take time to establish.

Yang Dalin checked his personal space and found only land-based equipment, with no naval equipment or anything like that.

Modern motorboats probably haven't appeared yet.

Yang Dalin thought to himself, swimming in the sea is different from swimming in fresh water on land.

I should learn it myself.

Don't let yourself get burned if you fail.

Yang Dalin suggested that they bring small boats that each person could row along with their fishing boat.

He'll dump himself far out at sea, not far from the shore, and dispose of the small boat so no one will notice.

It's more reliable to row across than to swim across.

It can also prevent attacks from sharks and other predators.

Upon hearing this, the personnel in Minzhou who were supposed to meet them thought, "This is a good idea."

Put another lifebuoy on the small boat for him.

This gives you an extra layer of insurance.

He'll have to figure out how to get back on his own.

It might not be so easy to get help from him, since we can only do so late at night.

So Yang Dalin received some emergency training on swimming in the sea during the day.

I was also given a training session on how to navigate at sea.

Just make sure you don't draw in the wrong direction, then it will look good.

As soon as it got dark, Yang Dalin, having eaten a hearty meal beforehand, boarded a fishing boat driven by two fishermen and set off eastward along the sea route.

The two boatmen claimed to be fishermen, but Yang Dalin could tell at a glance that they were retired veterans.

He was taciturn and tried his best not to speak to Yang Dalin.

Yang Dalin was also masked. The three of them were positioned with two people at the bow and one at the stern.

In the darkness, the other person can't see their face clearly.

The other party also knew that Yang Dalin was going to carry out a secret mission, and remained silent but showed respect.

After the fishing boat had been sailing for seven or eight hours, a younger fisherman stopped the boat and said, "It's not far now, probably only about ten kilometers left. You can row there yourself."

Yang Dalin thanked him.

They jumped onto that small boat that someone rowed.

The rope was untied.

Yang Dalin waved his hand, and the two men saluted him.

In the pitch-black night, they soon lost sight of Yang Dalin's small boat.

Only then did the other party turn around and drive back to the mainland.

Yang Dalin also received a lot of other training during the day.

They knew the patrol times of many of the other side's warships.

Therefore, Yang Dalin still had to deviate slightly from the direction to reach the shore.

We cannot head directly towards the other side's large coastal city.

Otherwise, there are quite a few boats patrolling the area at night.

And you have to log in before dawn.

Otherwise, it would be too easy to be discovered during the day.

As an inlander, Yang Dalin didn't get seasick or vomit while drifting on the sea in a small boat, which really shows how good his physical condition is.

In addition, he can see a radius of 100 meters at night, which is very convenient.

Yang Dalin still had the strength, and he rowed the small boat very fast.

Before dawn, he finally reached a deserted shore.

Yang Dalin stored the small boat away.

To avoid revealing his identity, Yang Dalin didn't bring anything with him on the surface, but in reality, he had everything in his spatial storage.

However, the clothes that his comrades in Minzhou prepared for him were the kind that people on the other side of the strait would wear.

Otherwise, if they wear mainland clothes and show their faces during the day, they're doomed.

Once ashore, I first explored the surrounding environment.

After walking for several miles, Yang Dalin found a small fishing village, but he didn't touch anything in the village.

I just confirmed the name of the fishing village.

Yang Dalin knew his exact location by recalling the maps he had seen before.

After getting away from the fishing village, they rode a motorcycle released from the space and sped towards the other party's "capital".

By the time we reached a larger town, it was almost dawn.

Yang Dalin also stole a local car.

Russian motorcycles and trucks are too easily recognizable; it's safer to switch to a different vehicle.

In the morning, Yang Dalin arrived at the other party's "capital," Taipei City.

At that time, northern Taiwan looked slightly more prosperous than cities on the mainland.

There were quite a few pedestrians on the road, but not many motorcycles, and people weren't talking very aggressively.

Many of them were in Hokkien, which Yang Dalin couldn't understand.

However, many people speak Mandarin, which made things convenient for Yang Dalin.

If Yang Dalin were to carry out a mission, and the other party spoke only the Minnan dialect, Yang Dalin would be completely lost.

Yang Dalin can still understand Northeastern Mandarin, Sichuanese, and Shaanxi dialect.

The dialect issues among the four provinces are even less significant.

However, Yang Dalin really couldn't understand the language spoken in the Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi regions.

The local dialect here is so varied that it can sound different every ten miles.

In his previous life, Yang Dalin had worked in a small county in Hunan Province. He discovered something absurd: the locals living in their county couldn't understand the language of the elderly in one of their rural villages.

Can you believe it, especially in 2022?

It can only be said that the dialects of our motherland are too powerful; not to mention enemies, even our own people are afraid of them.

Yang Dalin also saw a lot of military police on the road. They would check anyone who seemed suspicious. Damn it, Yang Dalin had no choice but to put his car away and try to avoid them.

He casually stole some money to keep for future use.

I can't spend my own money; if I do, I'll be exposed.

I have no choice but to start from scratch.

I didn't dare to stay in a hotel.

Yang Dalin didn't want to leave any trace.

After 10 a.m., it got too hot, so Yang Dalin could only hide in the space to catch up on sleep.

It's still more comfortable to have this secluded little personal living space in the space, with a temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius and a constant temperature all year round.

Yang Dalin slept inside until night before coming out.

Nighttime is his domain.

Yang Dalin planned to conduct a thorough reconnaissance tonight.

Although I bought a map of Taipei City.

However, many military buildings are not marked on maps.

Just like the "Defense Intelligence Agency," which is not marked on ordinary civilian maps.

Don't even mention where the three bureau chiefs in this bureau live.

We can only get to the location first and observe it before making any decisions.

We can't just barge in like that.

Moreover, he had promised Director Hou that he couldn't cause trouble and sabotage like he did back in Russia.

Otherwise, it would be detrimental to China's image, because if something serious happens here, they will definitely try to shift the blame to China.

Therefore, Yang Dalin could only cause trouble secretly.

Yang Dalin doesn't plan to set up a bank vault like this one.

However, if it's the ill-gotten gains of a major corrupt official, then it's acceptable to accept it.

After all, corrupt officials, even if they discover they've been robbed, wouldn't dare report it to the police or spread rumors.

We can only swallow our bitterness.

Moreover, those corrupt officials are notorious for their greed.

If it's convenient, you can do it a few times along the way.

When Yang Dalin went out at night, he found that many city residents were afraid to go out for a stroll at night.

Many people also close their doors and go to bed early.

There were also many military and police vehicles on the road checking people.

Damn, Yang Dalin remembered, this is still during the White Terror period.

At that time, they were still randomly arresting people.

To avoid these vicious wolfhounds, Yang Dalin had to take a long detour.
