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

They weren't elite troops anyway, so their deaths were no big deal.

But if they were alive, they would know quite a lot.

If they confess everything, it will have a huge impact on their subsequent actions.

Before kidnapping Yu Li, they had already planned the follow-up scheme.

Now all plans have to be redeployed, and all that has been done will be in vain.

This infuriated Yamamoto.

"It was my incompetence, please blame me, Lord Yamamoto. This matter was also a bit unexpected. We thought we could just send two people in to bring Yu Li out."

"I never imagined they used such methods to prevent the two of them from sending out any signal. If they had, our people outside could have provided backup. This whole thing is just too bizarre."

His men spoke, trembling.

According to the original plan, only two people needed to be sent to bring Yu Li out, while they would meet her outside.

In case of any emergency, the two people inside can send a signal and provide assistance.

Who knew that after the two went in, Li Xiangdong led them out alone.

The streets were filled with patrolling soldiers and inspectors, so even if they wanted to take action, they were powerless to do so.

The distance is still too far; wanting to kill Li Xiangdong is nothing short of a pipe dream.

"These are just excuses. According to our original plan, we could have minimized the losses. It seems we can only go back and ask the boss what to do now. You guys should hide yourselves well and not be discovered."

Yamamoto roared angrily.

……

In another courtyard.

As the leader of the enemy intelligence organization listened to Yamamoto's report, even his usually calm mind was stirred by waves of emotion.

How could such a good plan be suddenly exposed?

There could never be enemy spies within the organization; these people are all from island nations and have undergone rigorous training.

It was secretly sent to Beijing.

I can guarantee that my side is absolutely clean.

Logically speaking, the entire operation should not take more than ten minutes.

Within just ten minutes, the enemy could detect it and thwart the plan.

No matter how you look at it, this is a very abnormal thing.

It was as if the other side knew everything about their plans, which made the leader of the enemy intelligence organization somewhat flustered.

This is the first time I've encountered such a strong opponent, one that has been operating in Beijing for so long.

The losses are actually very low; each loss brings a considerable amount of spoils.

This time, two people slipped in without anyone noticing.

The mole within the steel rolling mill was also dealt with.

It can be said that this was a complete and utter failure.

The source of this intelligence was naturally someone passing it on to their enemy's intelligence organization.

No more detailed intelligence could be transmitted.

With martial law now in effect in and around Beijing, it is extremely difficult for them to carry out any actions.

"It seems that threatening Li Xiangdong by kidnapping his family is no longer an option. The military will definitely guarantee the safety of his family. We have no choice but to launch the decapitation plan."

The leader of the enemy intelligence organization said calmly.

The decapitation strike was a last resort for enemy intelligence organizations.

If this plan were implemented, the losses would certainly be enormous.

They were roughly divided into three groups: the first group launched a feint attack, the second group attacked from the flanks, and the third group was the real killing blow.

These three groups of people are basically not coming back.

The losses from this operation have essentially wiped out the island nation's plans accumulated over many years.

But now there's no better plan to deal with Li Xiangdong.

After Yamamoto's plan failed, he had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

"Boss, do we have any other options? Once the decapitation operation is carried out, it will be a devastating blow to the remaining forces in Beijing. By then, if we want to take further action, we will basically have no one left to rely on."

"I can't breathe," Yamamoto said anxiously.

"Do you think I wanted to start this plan? Now tell me what other way there is to get rid of Li Xiangdong? If this continues, the military's protection of him will only become tighter and tighter."

"According to the intelligence I have, this time they only brought a small team of 50 people. If we continue to delay, and they send more people, the decapitation plan may not be able to be carried out. At that time, you and I will both be sinners."

The leader of the enemy intelligence organization said helplessly.

When Yamamoto heard what his boss said, he felt very helpless. What else could he do?

This was the only way to get rid of Li Xiangdong, who was just a lowly engineer.

This could destroy their long-standing underground organization in an instant.

With no one left to manage, what options do we have to implement our plans?

Transporting people over from the island nation is no easy task.

Currently, this group of people still has some identities to cover their tracks.

They wanted to find another group of people within the organization to cooperate with their operations in Beijing.

Who knows when that will happen?

By then, the organization might force us to evacuate from here.

The more Yamamoto thought about it, the angrier he became, wishing he could trade places with Li Xiangdong.

"Alright, don't make that face. Our sacrifice will definitely be worthwhile. As long as we get rid of Li Xiangdong, we can both dampen China's spirit and instill fear in their people."

"They don't know how many more tricks we have up our sleeves to deal with them. It's an honorable thing to do. Go and do it."

Similarly, this is also the most important thing that was ordered from above.

Eliminating Li Xiangdong would not only delay China's weapons development.

This has made Chinese researchers feel even more frightened.

By then, as long as China's technology doesn't catch up, their island nation will still have a certain ability to compete with it.

Chapter 123 False Information

In the secret courtyard.

"After the interrogation, it turned out that those two guys were very small fry. They didn't know much. The only thing they could do to help us was to continue to target you, and ideally, kill you. That was the only thing that was somewhat useful."

General Wang said with a hint of helplessness.

They finally managed to capture two more enemy spies, but to their surprise, they couldn't get any useful information out of them.

This put the subsequent work in a difficult situation.

Finding all the hidden enemy spies in such a vast city as Beijing is no easy task.

If not handled properly, it could cause panic among the residents of Beijing.

"This kind of thing should have been expected. Those two guys were just there to make contact; they're definitely not big shots. Maybe we can use other methods to lure out these spies from enemy organizations."

Li Xiangdong looked calmly at General Wang.

"This is too reckless. Letting you act alone last time was already a very risky move. If it weren't for your skills, who knows what would have happened. The higher-ups are determined not to let us continue doing such risky things."

No in-depth investigation was conducted into the previous incident where Li Xiangdong single-handedly took down two enemy spies.

They had great faith in Li Xiangdong's character and believed he would never betray his country for personal gain.

Otherwise, if they had gone to the enemy country earlier, they would definitely have received better treatment than they have here.

There's no need to waste any more time here.

Therefore, they did not delve into the secrets surrounding Li Xiangdong.

As long as Li Xiangdong cares about his motherland and contributes to it, that's enough.

"If I don't do anything risky and don't give them any openings, who knows when or what their next move will be? As long as I protect my family, it will be very difficult for them to deal with me."

Li Xiangdong said firmly.

Seeing Li Xiangdong's resolute gaze, General Wang's heart trembled.

It's truly rare to find young people these days who possess such backbone and remain calm in the face of danger.

General Wang would give his life to protect such a promising talent.

The enemy's spies are now hiding in the shadows, and the last operation failed.

The next operation will likely be even more intense and unpredictable.

This time, only a small team of fifty people was brought, and no more people were sent.
