Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

Yi Zhonghai took a short stroll during his lunch break.

Outside Li Xiangdong's office, three or four soldiers carrying real guns were found standing.

Yi Zhonghai immediately realized that the deaf old lady's identity was indeed not simple.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai began to struggle with the decision of whether or not to report the deaf old lady now.

Can my past actions be used to offset my past mistakes?

At this point, Yi Zhonghai began to suspect that the deaf old lady might be the legendary enemy agent.

The reasons for doubt are also very valid.

Li Xiangdong was just an engineer, and he might have had some major conflicts with everyone in the courtyard.

Even if he has now threatened my status as an old man, it doesn't warrant killing him.

Therefore, there is only one explanation for this, which is the most reasonable.

That was the deaf old woman's last identity; she was actually an enemy agent.

If she were an enemy agent, then everything would be perfectly clear, and everything would make sense.

In his early years, in order to conceal her identity, he devised a plan to tie himself to her early on.

Now the enemy agents feel threatened and want to eliminate Li Xiangdong.

The deaf old lady was unwilling to help, fearing she would take on too much risk.

That's why they coerced and bribed him to come forward.

Yi Zhonghai struggled with the thought for a while, but then he let it go.

Let's follow the deaf old lady's wishes for now, as long as it doesn't involve any threat to our lives.

If the task you're asked to do involves your personal safety, then you can sell the deaf old lady and still be safe.

After observing for a while, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly left.

After finishing my work in the afternoon, I would return to the yard when I got off work in the evening.

He walked non-stop toward the small house where the deaf old lady lived, without even having time to go home first.

"Clang clang clang! It's me, Yi Haizhong, the old lady."

"The door isn't locked, just push it open and come in."

creak.

The door was pushed open, and Yi Zhonghai entered the room, closing the door behind him.

"Not bad, that's fast. We got news on the first day. What's Li Xiangdong's daily routine like now? Does he have any quirks or anything? Have you found out?"

The deaf old lady asked.

"Putting aside what Li Xiangdong is doing, old lady, you really kept this from me for too long. I never thought you were this kind of person. I can help you with things, but I hope that what you ask me to do will not threaten my personal safety."

"Otherwise, I'll risk everything to expose your identity."

Yi Zhonghai said fiercely, trying to suppress the deaf old lady's momentum with a fierce tone.

"Xiao Yi, you're still so smart. Your ideas are all baseless, and no one will believe them if you tell them. But since you've said that, I can't be too harsh on you. Don't worry, what I ask you to do won't threaten your personal safety."

The deaf old lady was also greatly surprised, never expecting that Yi Zhonghai would figure out her identity in just one day.

I also understood the pros and cons.

Then naturally, I can't push Yi Zhonghai too hard, lest I drive him to the brink of despair.

He will then reveal his identity.

Even though there's no evidence, so what?

As long as it's reported, someone will come to investigate.

My identity is not easily verified.

If anyone manages to find even the slightest clue, things will become really difficult.

Seeing that the deaf old lady had relented, Yi Zhonghai finally felt relieved.

"Li Xiangdong seems to be on some secret mission. He's nowhere to be seen in the factory, and no one has mentioned his whereabouts. However, I saw a lot of soldiers outside his office, so it must be something very important..."

Yi Haizhong told the deaf old lady all the information he had gathered.

"It seems that's true. In that case, it's not good to target him directly, but we can start with his family."

The deaf old lady came up with a plan.

“Grandma, there are too many people and too many eyes in the courtyard. If something happens, the whole courtyard will be searched. You have to think this through. This is not something you can do casually. If we are discovered, we will both lose our heads.”

How could Yi Zhonghai dare to do such a thing? If he did, it would definitely threaten his own life.

I'm not stupid; I absolutely must not do something like this.

If it's to be done, let the deaf old lady do it alone; I absolutely cannot get on this pirate ship.

"Look at you, all timid and cowardly. What are you afraid of? If you're scared, why don't you give me some advice? You don't have to do the work yourself, but you can at least come up with a solution, right?"

The deaf old woman changed direction, realizing that Yi Zhonghai had also guessed her identity.

Then we can't push people too hard, especially if they haven't thought of that.

These kinds of things can all be handled by Yi Zhonghai.

“Li Xiangdong’s in-laws are very wary of us. If you were to poison them and invite them over for dinner at a time like this, it would attract too much attention.”

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to get involved, and offering suggestions would be considered complicity.

2.1 "Here's a hundred yuan. Go buy two pounds of candy. I'll take care of the rest. If you refuse again, then I might..."

The deaf old lady hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Yi Zhonghai immediately understood what the deaf old lady was thinking, and had no choice but to accept the money reluctantly.

This was the hottest money Yi Zhonghai had ever handled, and he hurriedly left home.

While the department store was still open, I quickly went and bought two pounds of the most popular candy.

I tucked it into my arms and sneaked over there.

It was handed over to the deaf old lady.

"Alright, go back and rest. If anything else happens tomorrow, let me know when you get back. If that little bastard Li Xiangdong comes out, you keep an eye on him."

The deaf old woman waved her hand and said.

Chapter 107 The Temptation of Candy

Late at night.

The deaf old woman was alone in the small house, with only one candle lit, emitting a faint light.

"Li Xiangdong, don't blame me for being ruthless. Since you brought your in-laws to the courtyard, you should have thought about what they would encounter here. Don't blame me, blame your own extraordinary talent that made you a target of the organization."

The deaf old woman muttered to herself.

Then, he spread the candy that Yi Zhonghai had bought on the bed.

Choose three gummies and open the packaging.

He sprinkled the poison lightly on the sugar, and then, fearing it would be discovered, added a few drops of water.

They wrapped the packaging again, making it look as if it had never been opened.

The deaf old lady planned to distribute these candies to all the neighbors in the courtyard.

Even if it were discovered, there would be no evidence, and everyone would have eaten the candy.

The fact that only the three sons of the Yu family were poisoned doesn't prove anything.

After doing all this, the deaf old lady carefully separated the three candies.

As the candles were extinguished, the courtyard fell into complete silence.

The next day.

"Grandma Deaf, I'm going to work at the steel mill now. You can have breakfast at home. Jin Yumei made a pretty good breakfast this morning at 26."

Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door, spoke into the room, and then turned and left.

We still need to maintain a facade, just in case someone notices.

Yi Zhonghai's behavior was unusual. If the deaf old lady caused any trouble and implicated him, he would be unable to defend himself.

As usual, I pretended not to know anything.

This is the best way to clear one's name.

"Hmph, so many years have passed, and Yi Zhonghai's mind is still as meticulous as ever. But your usefulness is almost over."

The deaf old lady pretended to be asleep and not hear anything, but in reality, she was secretly dissatisfied.

I watched as my neighbors in the courtyard went to work or went out to buy groceries.

The deaf old lady then leaned on her cane and walked step by step into the courtyard.

Seeing Banggeng and Xiaodang playing in the yard, the three Yu family boys each played their own games.
