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

Bald eagles have also bombed the jungles of the Dominican Republic quite a bit, but with limited success.

Because Yang Dalin had them dig countless underground fortresses inside.

Bombing the ground would not cause much damage.

Moreover, there are thousands of prisoners being held there.

President Jansen has sent people to try and talk to Camarío about releasing the prisoners.

But Old Ka didn't meet with them.

They only sent a low-ranking soldier to deal with them.

Because if Old Ka is to show his face, he is very likely to be attacked and killed.

He won't fall for the bald eagle's tricks.

Camarío had only one demand: the Bald Eagles withdraw their troops and offer compensation and an apology, in which case he would release the prisoners.

The United States, a country obsessed with saving face, would never agree to that.

I'll pay some money privately, but no apology.

So the situation remained deadlocked.

It's good that nothing serious happened over there.

Yang Dalin then turned his attention to Java.

Java is probably about to descend into chaos as well.

However, there were only some intelligence personnel from the Bald Eagles there, not any Bald Eagle troops.

With just the Black Ice mercenary group and the local Chinese armed forces commanded by Lao Mo on behalf of the officer corps.

They could absolutely rout the local indigenous forces.

Because Yang Dalin had given them more than a year in advance to prepare, train, and provide them with supplies.

They can't even beat the local natives?

Don't make it too simple.

The apprentice of the King of Light Infantry, how could he be afraid of losing to the local natives?

Those natives didn't have many heavy weapons.

So there's no need to go to Java for now.

Yang Dalin rested well in Hong Kong for a while.

When there's something to do, I'll be busy; when there's nothing to do, I'll go fishing in the sea.

Don't be too relaxed.

Half a month passed like this.

Yang Dalin sent a telegram to Director Hou saying, "I need to go back and report on the recent situation."

Actually, Yang Dalin was homesick.

I miss my wife.

Director Hou replied, "Alright, then come back when you're not busy."

So Yang Dalin happily boarded the plane back to China.

There are now direct flights to Beijing.

This saved Yang Dalin a lot of trouble.

When Yang Dalin got off the train, Gao Xiaohu was there to pick him up.

Gao Xiaohu joked, "Dalinzi, I'm practically your personal driver now."

I always pick you up and drop you off when you come back.

Yang Dalin took a gift out of his backpack and tossed it to him: "Why don't you want it?"

"I'm willing, I can pick you up and drop you off every few months, why wouldn't I?"

Oh, and I have some good news for you.

Your wife is probably pregnant.

"The comrade who was secretly protecting your family told me this."

Yang Dalin was overjoyed upon hearing the news: "Really?"

"Then I'll go home and check things out first."

"What's your hurry? It shouldn't be long. What's the rush, kid?"

"Go to the director's first, then go home."

"Okay, let's go then."

I'll go see Old Hou first. There's nothing much to do here; we can talk in a few words.

Gao Xiaohu saw that Yang Dalin looked anxious to go home, just like he had been when he returned from a mission years ago and suddenly heard the news that his wife was pregnant.

Gao Xiaohu smiled, said nothing more, and drove quickly to Director Hou's office.

We arrived at this ordinary courtyard.

Yang Dalin rushed into Director Hou's office. Before Director Hou could even speak, Yang Dalin blurted out some information he had recently gathered.

Then, while Director Hou was still dumbfounded, he asked again, "Director, is the report finished? Is everything alright? If everything is alright, I request a week's leave. I'm going home."

Director Hou only realized what was happening when he saw Yang Dalin turn around and walk to the door: "Stop! Come back here!"

What's the rush?

"Is your house on fire?"

"Director, my wife is pregnant. I didn't even know at first."

I only found out after I got off the plane and heard it from Brother Tiger.

"It's inconvenient for me to contact my family while I'm away. If they knew, wouldn't I rush home to check on them?"

"You little rascal, it's your first time being a dad, I can understand."

But don't panic. I heard from down below that your wife is perfectly healthy.

It's only been a little over a month, and she's been going to work normally.

Why are you panicking?

Yang Dalin scratched his head sheepishly and said, "It was my first time, I had no experience."

"Alright, sit down first, and tell me what you know about the situation outside."

Your wife hasn't gotten off work yet. I'll give you a week off.

Yang Dalin had no choice but to patiently answer many of Director Hou's questions.

Director Hou also specifically asked him about the Dominican Republic.

Yang Dalin didn't say much.

He only shared some information he had heard from his followers.

Director Hou definitely has someone arranged for him to get in there.

I guess he had already received the message, but just wanted to confirm it with me again.

Yang Dalin naturally wouldn't say more.

Otherwise, wouldn't that expose that you've been there?

Director Hou then tentatively asked, "Have you found out what other ships the U.S. Navy lost besides an aircraft carrier, two cruisers, and two destroyers?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Dalin asked if Director Hou knew about the fact that Bald Eagle had lost its nuclear submarine.

Yang Dalin answered affirmatively: "I don't know?"

Did other ships also get lost?

It wasn't reported?

Does the director know something?

Can you tell me?

Yang Dalin's answer was watertight.

Director Hou naturally wouldn't tell Yang Dalin that his family had bought a Bald Eagle nuclear submarine; he would just make up a few words and let it go.

I have nothing else to ask.

In the end, Yang Dalin was allowed to leave.

Yang Dalin turned his head and muttered under his breath, "Old fox."

Then he jumped into Gao Xiaohu's car.

We headed straight for the freight station.

Go see your wife first, that's the important thing.

This is the first child in two lifetimes.

How could Yang Dalin not be excited?

It seems I'll have to come back a few more times.

Come back and spend more time with your wife.

Gao Xiaohu dropped Yang Dalin off at the entrance of the freight station and drove away.

Yang Dalin was carrying a large bag on his back and several small bags in his hands.

They just barged in.

As a result, a security guard who was probably new to the job stopped Yang Dalin.

He had never met Yang Dalin.

Yang Dalin barged straight in, so we had to stop him.

As a result, Yang Dalin produced a work permit from a freight station.

The young soldier still didn't believe it.

The documents were genuine, but he had never seen the person before.

A few veterans emerged from among them.

Upon seeing Yang Dalin, they greeted him warmly.

An old soldier told a new recruit, "This is a legendary figure in our station."

He's made countless contributions; he's off on a mission and hasn't been back much, so it's normal that you haven't seen him or don't recognize him.

Yang Dalin didn't make things difficult for the new recruits, even though he himself hadn't visited his old unit for several months.

It's normal to not know yourself and to hold yourself back.

Yang Dalin distributed cigarettes to his old comrades and left several bags in their office.

He said he'd like to get together sometime, then grabbed a small bag and rushed to his wife's dispatch room.

As for the station's top leader, Station Chief Wang, we'll see in a moment.

At this time, one's wife is the most important person.
