The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

But these people never imagined that the wisdom He Yuzhu displayed was something that most people could not possibly grasp.

So after everyone listened to this conversation again, one person said:

"Director, that's amazing! You've planned every step meticulously, drawing the other side into your hidden trap."

Then, by inducing the other party to trust, the captain of this special operations team never even considered why He Yuzhu would betray them.

So after He Yuzhu was released, he used swift and decisive methods to subdue the captain, and killed everyone else!

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

“I know the whole process. What you need to do now is to organize this information, figure out a course, and then hand it over to our intelligence personnel.”

If it gets exposed, this will be a life-saving tool. As long as we don't leak our country's secrets, we can say whatever we want.

After all, there's nothing inherently wrong with lying, especially not to an opposing force!

Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi's words, everyone's eyes lit up. Indeed, He Yuzhu's shrewd move this time not only protected his own life but also directly wiped out an action team and intelligence agency.

If it weren't for this recording, He Yuzhu's contribution would have been reported long ago.

As for this credit, it wasn't that Gu Zhi Qiu didn't report it, but rather that Gu Zhi Qiu knew that this credit was nowhere near as great as the credit He Yu Zhu had claimed.

You have to understand that if He Yuzhu were to deceive the other party and compile the information, and if the higher-ups approved it...

Then many underground workers will be much safer.

As for the matter of survival, since there was no betrayal but rather pretense and the information provided wasn't genuine, let them say whatever they want.

Did He Yuzhu betray them? In their eyes, He Yuzhu was incredibly cowardly and must have betrayed them.

However, in the recording, He Yuzhu only said that he wanted to betray the country, but did not actually do anything to betray it.

The result was that the action team and the Dawn intelligence organization were wiped out in one fell swoop.

This is a merit, so Gu Zhiqi asked everyone to compile this, also to recommend He Yuzhu for credit.

Gu Zhiqi knew that He Yuzhu's request was very reasonable, but the country was in a very passive position. High-end talents needed protection, and many foreign talents were also conducting highly classified research.

He Yuzhu acted too quickly, giving no one time to react.

Therefore, the state has made a promise to protect He Yuzhu, but it is impossible for He Yuzhu's family to be included.

However, He Yuzhu's abilities this time made Gu Zhiqi realize that He Yuzhu would not be ambushed.

The only people who could be targeted were He Yuzhu's family, so Gu Zhiqi spent the whole night talking to them.

Finally, a team of guards was assigned to protect He Yuzhu. Yes, it was still to protect He Yuzhu.

However, they were indeed stationed around He Yuzhu's house, ostensibly to protect He Yuzhu, but in reality to protect He Yuzhu and his family.

After all, Gu Zhi Qiu had asked He Yu Zhu if he was willing to fake his death, and He Yu Zhu disagreed.

Then there's no other way. If He Yuzhu agrees, the government will arrange an inconspicuous job for He Yuzhu's family. It won't make them rich, but it won't make them starve.

There's no other way; most families are like this now, and many people even bear the stigma just to protect the safety of their families.

He Yuzhu greatly admired these people, but when it came to himself, he couldn't do it at all.

Therefore, He Yuzhu refused on the spot. He was a time traveler, and he had to live well first before he could contribute to the country.

If you can't even make a living yourself, how can you expect to contribute to the country?

That is impossible!

This is He Yuzhu, and of course, everyone can understand He Yuzhu's choice.

After all, not everyone has the spirit of dedication.

He Yuzhu grew up in the capital city and lived among all sorts of people from a young age.

In addition, the investigation by national agencies revealed that He Yuzhu was very intelligent, but also extremely arrogant.

There will be even less room for contribution, because He Yuzhu's affairs in the courtyard house have also been investigated by the state.

The information that He Yuzhu was willing to share with the state during the national investigation was also what He Yuzhu wanted the state to know.

When He Yuzhu learned that the two widowed children were plotting to take care of him in his old age, he did not immediately step forward to provide for them.

Instead, he went out more often, and then was tricked back by his father who had abandoned him, and ended up fighting against two childless people.

If someone had a spirit of dedication, they might take care of these two childless people, especially since one of them is quite old.

Therefore, He Yuzhu's choice was not surprising at all. For someone like He Yuzhu, the country would have a special file and various people to analyze his personality, character, and other indicators.

Of course, He Yuzhu's abilities are beyond doubt; otherwise, Gu Zhiqi wouldn't have been able to persuade those above him to protect He Yuzhu's family in the name of protecting He Yuzhu.

After returning home, He Yuzhu spent some time chatting with the two women before resting.

The next morning, He Yuzhu pulled He Yu, Yang Xiaodi, and Chen Xueru to practice traditional Chinese martial arts.

After it was all over, Yang Xiaodi asked He Yuzhu:

"Honey, you've never been so enthusiastic about our cultivation before, what's wrong with you today?"

He Yuzhu didn't hide anything and told the two women what had happened yesterday. Chen Xueru said:

"Oh, that's dangerous!"

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"I am not in danger. Even if two hundred men with guns and cannons came at me, I would have no problem.

What I'm worried about is you guys. I'm worried that if they can't deal with me, they'll end up dealing with you instead.

Yesterday I asked our director, and he said that the higher-ups have agreed to assign me a bodyguard.

But you can't. You're not qualified to have guards. Even the founding fathers had their own guards.

There were no guards in the family!

Yang Xiaodi said:

"Yes, honey, we all know that. Things aren't like they used to be. When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs benefit from it."

Your credit is yours and has nothing to do with us. If we want guards, then we'd have to be like you.

I know my own limitations as a pillar of the nation, so I'd rather not pursue that path!

Chen Xueru nodded in agreement:

"Me too, I know that too."

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"So now that you know, I'll start teaching you martial arts, because your safety is the most important thing to me."

Relying on yourself is worse than relying on anyone else. I told the director that I had already submitted so much technology before.

That should give them plenty of time to process it. During this time, I'll focus on learning and building my knowledge base.

I will protect you and teach you cultivation. Once you are capable of protecting yourself, I will see if I can come up with any new techniques!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, both women burst out laughing.

Yang Xiaodi:

"Honey, you're so adorable, just like a little kid. I know you love us, but the strength of our nation is the most important thing."

I know you're a little resentful that the country doesn't protect us, but the country is not wrong in this matter.

You're being too greedy. If something goes wrong with us, that's our fate!

He Yuzhu was utterly shocked, staring at Yang Xiaodi...

Chapter 128: Going to Work, Earning Another First-Class Merit

What He Yuzhu didn't know was that Yang Xiaodi's idea was the mainstream ideology of this era.

The idea that one can dedicate everything to the country.

Of course, Chen Xueru knew what He Yuzhu was thinking, and she was also worried that there might be some rift between He Yuzhu and Yang Xiaodi.

It is also said that:

"Xiao Di, Brother Zhu, you're both right. Brother Zhu is worried about us."

We are all Brother Zhu's women. Brother Zhu wants to protect us. In Brother Zhu's heart, if he can't even protect his own women, how can he defend his country?

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement upon hearing Chen Xueru's words. Chen Xueru said:

"But Brother Zhu, we are all very grateful that you put us first."

But do you think it's good for us if you continue like this?

We all know you are a genius, and you have the ability to lead our country to become even stronger.

But because of me and Xiaodi, you gave up when our country was bullied, persecuted, and even humiliated.

What will Xiaodi and I think? We'll become the Daji and Baosi of the past.

It was the two of us who held back the rise of a genius; it was the two of us who, because we wanted your love, caused this country to suffer so much.

We won't blame you, but Brother Zhu, think about it, do you think we'll feel good about it?

Xiao Di might be a bit blunt, but Xiao Di loves you, and Xiao Di doesn't want you to miss out on the chance to be remembered for generations because of romantic entanglements!
