The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

"Tch, coward!"

The middle-aged man sitting on the stool continued to ask:

"Good, very good, you're very cooperative. Which company do you work for?"

He Yuzhu said:

"I don't know the name, but I know my unit is called the Seventh Section. I don't know anything else about our work, but our section researches weapons!"

The middle-aged man saw that He Yuzhu was being so cooperative, but still asked:

"What? You're playing tricks on me? Do you want to die?"

He Yuzhu quickly replied:

"No, no, no, really no. On my first day there, they told me I couldn't go into other departments. Even for meals, we didn't eat together."

I didn't have a chance to speak to anyone from other departments. I'm telling the truth; go ask them if you don't believe me!

The middle-aged man, after reading He Yuzhu's words, knew that what He Yuzhu said was mostly true, and then asked:

How many people are in your department?

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"I don't know about that, but I've seen dozens of them. There are others I haven't seen, but the section chief won't tell me."

I asked once before, and not only did they write a self-criticism, they also copied the confidentiality rules thirty times...

I honestly don't know the specifics; I only saw it, and I didn't dare ask!

Middle-aged:

"What stage have you reached in your weapons research? What kinds of weapons are you developing?"

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"I don't know either. I only know it's a semi-automatic rifle. I'm a mechanical engineering major, and I really don't know anything about weapons. For the past two months at work, all I've done is repair and maintain machines."

That machine had so many problems, but thankfully we got a new one last month, and things are much better now!

The middle-aged man was very pleased to hear He Yuzhu say this, and then continued to ask:

"Okay, very good. Do you know which machine tool drawings are available and who designed them?"

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"I really don't know about this, and we're not allowed to ask about it. Even when our section chief and our director asked, they got scolded."

I'm only responsible for maintaining those machine tools, really, really, I don't know anything else!

At this moment, someone next to me said:

"Boss, this kid really doesn't know anything! Look at him, he's almost scared to death!"

Hearing his subordinate's words, the middle-aged man continued to ask:

"Coward, by the way, do you know anything useful? Tell me!"

He Yuzhu was taken aback, then thought of the Strategic Deception Bureau of later generations, wondering if such a thing existed in this era.

Regardless of whether there is one or not, let He Yuzhu do it first.

He Yuzhu nodded:

"I know a little, but not the specifics. I've only heard the name!"

The middle-aged man was very interested when he heard He Yuzhu say this, and then asked:

"what?"

He Yuzhu recalled:

"It seems to be some kind of plan, and the name is quite easy to remember, what's it called again?"

Yes, yes, I remember now, it's called Project Nantianmen, that's right, it's called Project Nantianmen.

As for the Starry Sky Project, I don't really understand it either. As you know, I only know about mechanics.

But none of the mechanical engineers in our institute are here, and I don't even have a mentor yet; they've all been sent out.

I don't know the specifics either!

Hearing He Yuzhu's cooperation, the middle-aged man felt there was no challenge at all; he had said everything he wanted to know and everything he didn't want to know.

However, the middle-aged man asked:

"I heard you went to the Ministry of Industry twice. What were you doing there?"

He Yuzhu said;

"I just arrived, and they gave me a suitcase to carry with me. I don't know what's inside, but it must be something very important!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, the middle-aged man asked:

"Oh, didn't you say you didn't know? How do you know it's important?"

He 2.5 rain column said:

"Of course, I'm a college student who got into university. If it's not something important, would I not let people see it or ask about it?"

Moreover, he was accompanied by more than twenty soldiers with live ammunition for protection throughout the entire process.

If it weren't important, the director would have taken it himself; why would so many people be needed?

When I arrived, I was led to a room and they wouldn't let me leave or have any contact with anyone else.

When I got back, our director told me to forget about that day and not to tell anyone.

When I got back, I didn't even tell my family. I didn't dare to tell them, because to do so would be treason.

He's going to get killed!

The middle-aged man said:

"Oh, since you already know, why did you tell me?"

He Yuzhu said:

"There's no other way. I'm not stupid. I've seen the situation around here. Blood has seeped into many places."

They must have killed a lot of people. If I don't tell you, I'll probably be tortured to death. If I do tell you, you can use this to threaten me and force us to do things for you.

Otherwise, I'm useless, so just kill me.

Either way, it's much better than being tortured to death.

So I'll say it again: those who understand the times are the wise ones!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, the middle-aged man burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, good, you are indeed smart. You bookworms are so smart."

"I can let you off the hook, but just like I said, you have to work for us?"

He Yuzhu asked curiously:

"What is it?"

Chapter 125: Sudden Attack and Injury

The middle-aged man was very happy to see that He Yuzhu was so 'savvy'.

"Now you have two things to do: one is to find the person who invented the machine tool."

Another thing is to find out what exactly this "South Heavenly Gate Project" you mentioned is!

The middle-aged man thought the South Heavenly Gate Project was aimed at Taiwan, because Taiwan is located just south of this country.

Little did they know that this so-called plan was fabricated by He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu said with difficulty:

"I don't know either. As you know, I just arrived and don't have any permissions."

There are many places in our own department that I can't enter. If I do, I'll face endless scrutiny.

So there's nothing I can do, and after so many days, no one in our Seventh Department is talking about this anymore.

All they're talking about now is the progress and such, and they won't let me participate. My job is just to maintain the machines.

They won't let me participate in anything else!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, then said:

"So, you're completely useless!"

He Yuzhu said helplessly:

“It’s not very useful now, but if I have time, and I gain their trust and authority, maybe I can find out.”

But if I said I could get that intelligence, would you believe me?

The middle-aged man knew that He Yuzhu was telling the truth, after all, his organization had lost more than a dozen insiders and had only managed to find out a little bit of information.

He knew nothing about the others, but he was absolutely certain that the Nantianmen Project was real.
