The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Upon hearing Chen Xueru's words, Yang Xiaodi, being quite astute, realized that she had made a mistake.

Quick remedial action:

"Husband, this is what I mean. Xue Ru and I promise you that we will practice martial arts diligently and will not let any danger befall us."

"And although we two aren't as good as you right now, our strength shouldn't be underestimated, okay?"

Chen Xueru also chimed in from the side:

"That's right, we're not exactly weaklings either!"

Seeing the two of them singing in unison, He Yuzhu wasn't stupid; he embraced them both.

"Xiaodi, Xueru, thank you both. Having you two is the greatest luck of my life!"

The two women had never heard such sweet words before in this era, and they were deeply moved:

"We are too. We are both very lucky to have met you, Brother Zhu!"

"Well, that's right!"

……

He Yu was at a loss for what to do:

"Oh my, aren't you guys being cheesy?"

Seeing He Yu's expression, Yang Xiaodi and Chen Xueru were both very shy, having forgotten about their sister-in-law in their moment of passion.

The two girls blushed and ran away.

He Yuzhu saw the two women run away, while He Yu was gloating on the side. However, He Yuzhu did not scold his own sister, and his wife was just shy.

He Yuzhu said:

"You've finished your cultivation, aren't you going to study?"

He Yu wasn't afraid, but instead said:

"Okay, but I want to eat meat!"

He Yuzhu looked at his younger sister, whom he had raised for five years, with doting eyes, and then nodded:

"Okay, go study. I'll go make you some meat!"

……

Three days passed just like that, and He Yuzhu didn't go to the research institute, even though he had come to terms with it after being persuaded by the two women.

However, He Yuzhu still didn't go to work, since it was Gu Zhiqi who had told him not to go to work.

That day, He Yuzhu had just finished practicing martial arts with the three women when Gu Zhiqi came to his door.

He Yuzhu looked at Gu Zhiqi, paused for a moment, and then said:

"Director Gu, what brings you here?"

Gu Zhi Qiu said with a smile:

"What, you really aren't planning to go to work?"

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"No, if I wasn't planning to go back to work, I would have resigned last time. What happened? What's the decision regarding my case from above?"

Gu Zhi Qiu shook his head:

"No, why would I handle it? You've done a good deed, and I came back to protect you."

"I've spoken to my superiors about what you mentioned last time, and they've approved it!"

He Yuzhu had assumed that was the case when he heard Gu Zhiqi's words, but he didn't expect her to agree.

"agreed?"

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"That's right, I agree, but it's still your guard. However, your guard won't be responsible for protecting you."

And protect your family around your home.

Of course, they'll publicly claim to be your bodyguards, responsible for protecting you.

You should know that although you haven't been working here long, the contributions you've made have earned you this treatment.

It was just a slight modification.

Of course, besides this, your contribution in taking down the entire enemy intelligence organization last time has also been recognized.

As for your entanglement with enemy agents, we have compiled your words into a booklet for all intelligence workers to study later.

You made no mistakes whatsoever; it was all credit. The reason you haven't been here these past few days is because of this!

Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi's words, He Yuzhu knew that if anyone used that recording to attack him, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

Fortunately, things are different now than before; it's only been five or five years. If it were ten years later...

He Yuzhu knew he was going to have a bad end, and he had made the right gamble.

He Yuzhu said:

"Director, don't worry, I will definitely study hard and contribute to the development of our country!"

Gu Zhi Qiu waved his hand:

"Alright, I know you too well. Let's leave it at that. Also, since you've chosen not to fake your death..."

Then you should be mentally prepared. Our country is not monolithic. Right now, because very few people know about you, you haven't been exposed yet.

But you'll be exposed sooner or later, and then you'll be in constant trouble. There are also many people who would ruin you if they couldn't have you.

Not only will there be people from all over the world, but faking death is actually the best way to protect yourself and your family.

But if you disagree, your family will be protected by our people, and we will kill your family.

They won't get you, and it will only incite your hatred. So as long as your family is protected by our security department, there shouldn't be any problems.

But you'll be different; you'll become their primary target—kidnapping, assassination, poisoning.

Your existence will hinder their efforts to stop our country's development!

He Yuzhu thought to himself, "This is great. I should know that my cultivation level is at the Undying Realm."

The Undying Realm means that the physical body has reached its limit, making it immune to all poisons and fire. Not to mention assassination or poisoning, even if he ate poison as food, He Yuzhu would not be afraid.

As for the assassination, it's still uncertain who will kill whom.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu said to Gu Zhiqi:

"Director Gu, I understand everything you've said. I choose to live with my family. If I fake my death, all the knowledge I've gained will be useless."

By the way, I don't need to stay outside anymore. My courtyard has four courtyards, so let the people who protect me live in this courtyard.

Moreover, I also know traditional Chinese martial arts, as you all know now. I can teach them traditional Chinese martial arts.

I teach my sister and my wife every day, and they can learn together too!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi said:

"Alright, since you've made this choice, I won't say anything more. I hope it's the right one."

I have nothing else to say. You can go to work tomorrow. I'll give you your reward when you get to work!

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, I understand. I'll go to work as usual tomorrow!"

After saying that, Gu Zhi Qiu left. After leaving, Gu Zhi Qiu told the person above about He Yu Zhu's choice.

When the higher-ups found out, they agreed, after all, He Yuzhu, this genius, was still so young.

That's how many inventions there have been.

He Yuzhu went to work the next day, having completely uprooted the Dawn intelligence organization.

Therefore, He Yuzhu's information was suppressed, and no one knows He Yuzhu's current identity.

After all, foreign intelligence organizations don't yet have the capability to place people in every location.

He Yuzhu resumed his work, this time focusing on weapons.

He Yuzhu knew very well that only when his country was strong could he be safer.

Just as He Yuzhu was thinking about how to design more advanced weapons, Gu Zhiqi arrived.

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"Zhu Zi, may I call you that?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Of course, that's what everyone I know calls me!"

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"Okay, then I'll call you Pillar in informal settings from now on. I'm here today as a reward for eliminating Special Operations Team 026 and the Dawn Intelligence Organization."
