Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

"I was just getting used to my new position when you've already patted me on the back for the first time."

"You little rascal, you really are my lucky star!"

As she walked towards the courtyard, Aunt Wang turned her head to look at Lin Quan, her eyes clearly showing surprise and warmth, along with a hint of unconcealed relief.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I saw a whole row of soldiers with live ammunition already standing in formation – at the Military Control Commission, those in military uniforms were the law enforcers.

They were transferred to the Public Security Bureau only after the Military Control Commission was abolished.

Aunt Wang glanced at it and estimated that it was the number of people in an advanced class.

Swah——

As soon as the two appeared, the soldiers raised their hands in salute. Aunt Wang returned the salute, then said nothing more, stepped forward, and spoke in a steady, powerful voice:

"I won't waste any more time."

"Just one principle—fast, accurate, and ruthless—give the opponent no chance to breathe!"

"If we can capture them alive, we will never lightly resort to killing; if the situation is critical, we will kill them on the spot, and we will never let a single one escape!"

"action!"

One second Aunt Wang was speaking softly and gently, but the moment she encountered a mission or spies, she was a completely different person—her eyes were sharp, her steps were swift, and she exuded a toughness honed on the battlefield. Lin Quan's heart trembled slightly: She truly was someone who had walked on the edge of a knife several times!

He can wield a sword to break through enemy lines when mounted, and wield a pen to bring peace to the people when dismounted!

As soon as the order was given, the team set off immediately, led by Lin Quan, heading straight for Xue Ru's silk shop. When they were about a hundred paces from the shop, Lin Quan suddenly stopped and pointed to a shop on the street corner:

"Aunt Wang, it's over there—Xue Ru Silk Shop. The spies are lurking in the backyard."

"The next steps, such as the deployment and the infiltration, are entirely up to you."

Director Wang nodded in acknowledgment, then beckoned to the squad leader and began giving instructions in a low voice.

In a short while, the soldiers quickly split into three groups:

A group set up a cordon to separate the onlookers;

The other two groups moved stealthily along the wall, flanking the back door and side alley of the silk shop from the left and right.

Lin Quan didn't interfere; he simply greeted Aunt Wang and then slipped into the shop.

"Brother Quan!"

"Lin Quan, what's going on outside?"

Upon hearing the sound, Wang Yuyan and the other two came to greet them, their steps filled with anxiety.

"Don't worry, the message has been delivered to the military control commission."

"That person in the backyard can't escape even if they have wings."

As Lin Quan spoke, he winked at Wang Yuyan.

She immediately understood, her fingertips slightly condensing as her mental energy spread out like a spiderweb, taking in every movement in the backyard—

If there is even the slightest unusual sound or movement, she can lock down the other party's path with a thought.

In her mind, two assault teams were already closing in with guns drawn, their figures hidden between the shadows of the walls and the cracks in the doors.

Without anyone noticing, the entire backyard had been completely surrounded like an iron barrel.

The captain, who was leading the group, raised his chin slightly and nodded to the soldiers behind him.

The four team members quickly slung their rifles over their shoulders, leaped, and nimbly vaulted over the courtyard wall. The wooden gate to the backyard slid open silently, and two groups of figures moved like cats in the night, quietly slipping in along the wall.

Without making a sound, they had already reached the door of the room where the spy was staying.

Just then, the man finished sending a telegram from the underground room and pushed open the door to return to the house.

The rustling of the corner of the inner garment brushing against the edge of the table was captured by the soldiers lying in ambush under the window.

Their eyes met, a tacit understanding forming in the blink of an eye—the killing intent was sealed.

boom!

Before the words were even finished, a soldier had already shot into the door like an arrow, kicking it so hard that the door panel trembled and the bolt flew off!

boom!boom!

Two short, sharp explosions ripped through the silence, and the soldiers surged in like a whirlwind, their gun barrels locked onto the figures inside the room.

"Hands up!"

"Lie down on the spot!"

Before the shout had even finished, the agent had already fallen to the ground, blood blooming on his right arm and left knee, and his pistol had rolled off his hand and onto the blue brick floor.

……

"nailed it."

Wang Yuyan withdrew her extended mental power, turned her gaze to Lin Quan, and nodded slightly.

"That's good."

Lin Quan turned his head, his gaze settling steadily on Chen Xueru's face: "Miss Xueru, are you still thinking about the matter in the backyard?"

"Do you have connections?"

Chen Xueru's eyes lit up, and her voice rose slightly.

Lin Quan met her intense gaze and nodded frankly: "If you really want to buy it, I'll ask you right now—whether it's feasible or not, I can't guarantee it."

Before he finished speaking, he had already stepped out of the store.

"Aunt Wang—"

Watching the procession escorting the secret agents disappear into the distance, Lin Quan raised his hand to wave.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang quickly stepped forward, whispered a few instructions to his subordinates, and then turned to Lin Quan: "What are you up to now?"

"The man has been arrested, and the yard is empty."

"The owner of Xue Ru Silk Shop is an acquaintance of mine."

"She wants to rent the backyard to use as a warehouse. Do you think... you could make an exception?"

Director Wang's gaze lingered on Lin Quan's face for a moment, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

She had heard of the silk shop owner before—handsome, efficient, and though a small merchant, he was clean and capable. Then she looked at Lin Quan: setting aside the old things left by his parents, that calligraphy and that medal alone were enough to silence all gossip.

"Okay, I'll take responsibility for this."

"I'll have the boss register with the military control commission later, and I'll personally oversee the process for her."

After saying this, she slapped Lin Quan's shoulder hard, turned around and left, leading her team to disappear into the alley.

"Aunt Wang...have you misunderstood something?"

Lin Quan stood there, stunned, watching the receding figure, muttering to himself.

But in just a moment, he shook his head and chuckled, then turned and went back to the shop.

"How is it?"

Chen Xueru was already waiting by the door. When he entered, she came to greet him, her fingers tightening slightly.

Lin Quan nodded: "It's settled."

"Just go to the Military Control Commission tomorrow and register with Director Wang."

Chen Xueru's eyes lit up instantly, and her previously pale cheeks now had a warm, rosy glow.

"Thank you so much!"

"The clothes ordered by Sister Yuyan and Sister Zhuqing will be provided free of charge this time."

"I'd like to invite you to another meal—but I wonder if my two sisters would do me the honor, and... will certain people grant me this favor?"

She paused slightly at the end of her sentence, her eyes flashing, a smile playing on her lips as she looked directly at Lin Quan's face.

Not only Chen Xueru, but even Wang Yuyan and Zhu Zhuqing subtly smiled and turned their gazes toward Lin Quan.

Lin Quan met the three people's gazes and, without beating around the bush, blurted out:

"Go for it! Only a fool wouldn't go and freeload..."

"Then let's set off now!"

Seeing Lin Quan nod, Chen Xueru felt a surge of warmth and joy.

She deftly picked up her handbag, took Wang Yuyan's arm with one hand, and held Zhu Zhuqing's hand with the other, then turned and walked towards the shop door. Her steps were light, and she didn't forget to greet them with a smile, "What would you two sisters like to eat? Just order—don't hide anything from me!"

Before the words were finished, Wang Yuyan and Zhu Zhuqing looked up at Lin Quan in unison.

It's not that I don't want to choose, it's that I really don't understand the ins and outs of this place.

Lin Quan immediately noticed the clue and replied loudly:

"Since Xue Ru is hosting, we should naturally follow her lead."

"Then let's go with Fengzeyuan!"

Chen Xueru was decisive and didn't hesitate, leading the three of them straight ahead.

As Lin Quan stepped into the gate of Fengzeyuan, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—he knew this place well!
