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

After leaving the airport, Yang Dalin found a high vantage point since it was nighttime, and immediately knew which direction the city was in.

Because the area is brightly lit at night, it's very conspicuous.

Yang Dalin drove quickly to Irkutsk.

This city isn't very big, with a population of less than 500,000. But even that's considered a big city by the Russians.

There's no way around it; there are so few people and so much land here, it's really too spacious.

Yang Dalin really wants to take all these places back to our country.

It's such a waste that they live in such nice places.

This place is very close to our original Beihai.

Less than seventy kilometers.

It must have been our territory all along.

What a pity.

After arriving in the city, Yang Dalin first drove around the entire city.

Then, taking advantage of the police station being closed, he sneaked into the local police station.

Oh, by the way, they don't call it the Police Department anymore, they call it the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It is responsible for functions such as militia (police), criminal interrogation, fire fighting, internal affairs forces, and prison management.

Of course, another very important task was to find the internal spies.

Yang Dalin needs to find another map.

The maps produced by the Ministry of the Interior will certainly include some important city institutions.

It was much easier than Yang Dalin searching for them one by one late at night.

Yang Dalin found the office of the local Minister of the Interior and easily saw the map on the wall.

Yang Dalin didn't touch anything else. He took the map down, stored it in his spatial storage, turned on the lights, took a picture, and then took it out and fixed it exactly as it was.

Then they left.

Late at night, after translating the map, Yang Dalin arrived outside the local intelligence department's office.

When Yang Dalin arrived, he encountered several people who were getting off work and preparing to go home.

It seems this department is quite busy; they don't get off work until late at night.

Yang Dalin followed a handsome young man all the way to his home.

Yang Dalin would not admit that he chose him as his target because he was more handsome than himself.

This guy lives alone in a detached apartment.

He's very young, looks to be in his early twenties, and lives quite well; he's probably the son of a high-ranking official.

The furniture and food at home are much better than those in ordinary households.

Yang Dalin easily subdued him.

Yang Dalin can't speak much Russian, but he can manage simple written questions.

Yang Dalin wrote that he could survive by telling her the addresses of two colleagues who understood Chinese.

At first, the kid wouldn't open up and wanted to act tough, but unfortunately, Yang Dalin pinched the kid's nose and ears on his handsome face a few times with pliers.

This handsome guy behaved himself.

To prevent the other party from deceiving him, Yang Dalin blindfolded him, tied his hands, and stuffed him into a small, isolated space.

If he didn't cover his eyes, Yang Dalin was afraid that if he felt he knew Yang Dalin's secret, he would be executed immediately.

Then I said nothing more.

Therefore, he should not be made aware of the existence of this space for the time being.

It doesn't matter if we find our target a little later.

Following the two locations he had given on the map, Yang Dalin quickly arrived at the destination.

The kid wasn't wrong; the two of them lived in a separate building.

They all live far from their neighbors, unlike him, who prefers to live in a studio apartment.

Because heating is easier in a studio apartment than in a detached house during winter.

Bachelors are generally lazier.

These two people were clearly older and didn't like living in the same building as other people.

Fortunately, both of them lived alone and had no family.

After Yang Dalin subdued the two men one by one, he verified that they could speak Chinese fluently, which was sufficient.

They confiscated all the money and weapons from both families, creating the illusion that the two men had escaped with their weapons and money.

They then sent the first handsome guy to his house and made it look like he had committed suicide.

Yang Dalin left without touching anything in the room.

If it's a staged suicide, and something is missing from inside, wouldn't that prove it wasn't a suicide?

Obviously, it can't be done.

Yang Dalin doesn't lack this little thing.

Before dawn, Yang Dalin drove south and left the area.

Yang Dalin drove for several hours along the railway line heading south of the city.

They stopped to rest.

Yang Dalin would check later to see if any trains were passing by. He knew that if he went south from this city, around the southern part of Beihai, he would reach another city, Ulan-Ude, where there were trains that went directly to the capital of Mongolia.

Because Ulan-Ude is a transportation hub, with trains that continue directly to the Far East and trains that go south to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Outer Mongolia.

Yang Dalin slept too much during the day, so he chatted with the two intelligence officers who understood Chinese.

These two guys are quite old and very experienced.

They didn't intend to cooperate at first.

Because they knew they would die sooner or later.

Yang Dalin will not let them go easily.

However, Yang Dalin pulled out his trump card: if they didn't cooperate, he would kill their family members.

Now we're cooperating to teach Russian. Although I might die, my family will survive.

This threat appears to be effective.

The two were not so arrogant as to think that someone like Yang Dalin, who possessed an alternate dimension, could not find their family.

The two of them compromised not long afterward.

There was no other way; not cooperating meant certain death, and their whole family would die. These two old foxes wouldn't believe that the Russians would avenge them.

How can I get revenge if I can't find anyone?

With no clues whatsoever, how can I take revenge?

The two of them accepted their fate and devoted themselves to teaching Russian.

Yang Dalin naturally made sure the two of them had plenty of food and drink.

However, the two of them need to clean the toilet themselves when they need to use it.

There's nothing we can do about it; Yang Dalin is already doing them a good job of eating and drinking.

Unlike Yang Dalin, they didn't have a separate bathroom.

They can only eat, drink, and relieve themselves in a small space.

Fortunately, the air inside can be directly connected to the outside world.

Otherwise, the taste... hehe.

Yang Dalin also needs to clean his own bathroom frequently.

There was no drain pipe connection.

Although there was a toilet inside that flushed, the sewage from that toilet went into a very large oil drum.

Yang Dalin also needs to clean the oil drums regularly.

This time we have free labor.

From now on, the job of rinsing the large oil drums can be assigned to the two of them.

These two people are from Outer Mongolia and they not only understand Chinese and Russian, but also Outer Mongolian.

Outer Mongolian is slightly different from the language spoken on the Inner Mongolian grasslands, but they are mutually intelligible.

Yang Dalin also needs to learn from this.

In the future, they could open a mining company in the outer grasslands.

Yang Dalin had no idea that their mineral resources were staggering: 1600 billion tons of coal reserves, ranking fourth in the world; 6600 million tons of copper, ranking first in Asia; 3100 million tons of rare earth, ranking second in the world, second only to China; 3000 tons of gold; 140 million tons of uranium; and more than 80 types of minerals, ranking seventh in the world in terms of comprehensive resource richness.

There might be some that haven't been discovered yet.

However, most of these treasures can only be sold as raw materials. They lack the capacity for deep processing, and there are no smelters. They can only export primary ores, mainly to China.

Yang Dalin learned the other party's language so that he could better prepare for mining in the future.

Take rare earth elements, for example. If we bring them back to China, process them further, and then sell them to Europe and America at high prices, wouldn't that be a lot of money?

It can also reduce the mining of rare earth elements in one's own country.

A win-win situation.

Yang Dalin aspires to become a mining tycoon, a manufacturing tycoon, a grain supply tycoon, and an internet tycoon.
