Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

Li Jie wiped the sweat from his brow and replied, "We've already scouted the area and found a few suspicious surveillance points, but no obvious traps. However, Zhao Ming seems to be increasing vigilance; the number of patrol teams on the perimeter has noticeably increased."

Zhang Hao added, "We found a makeshift hut, which may be Zhao Ming's temporary command post. It should contain important documents and communication equipment."

A hint of excitement flashed in Su Ting's eyes: "This intelligence is crucial. With the exact location of this command post, we can plan a surprise attack."

Li Jie smiled slightly: "Yes, we can approach them quietly when they are not paying attention, and then launch an attack."

Su Ting nodded approvingly: "Good, we'll act tonight. Li Jie, you're in charge of leading the small team to raid that temporary command post and make sure to seize the important documents and equipment inside."

Li Jie nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Brother Su, I will complete the mission."

Lin Tao agreed, saying, "Then I'll be responsible for ensuring the safety of those who stay here."

Su Ting looked around at everyone, sensing their tacit understanding and determination, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that as long as everyone worked together, no difficulty was insurmountable.

Chapter 356 Equipment and Supplies

Su Ting stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone: "Then it's settled. Li Jie, you and Zhang Hao, along with a few capable men, will raid that command post tonight. Make sure everything is safe."

"Understood." Li Jie nodded, his eyes shining with determination. "I will take Wang Gang and Lao Ma with me; they are both experienced people."

Su Ting nodded, then turned to Lin Tao: "Lin Tao, you stay here to be in charge of the rear security. Make sure to keep communications open and be ready to provide support at any time."

Lin Tao nodded solemnly: "No problem, we will ensure the safety here."

Old Liu interjected, "Then I'll help you prepare some necessary equipment and supplies. I've also prepared some concealment tools and weapons these days, which you might find useful."

Li Jie looked at Lao Liu gratefully: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Liu. You've been quietly supporting us these past few days, thank you so much."

Old Liu waved his hand and smiled憨厚ly: "It's alright, we're all working towards the same goal."

Over the next few hours, everyone performed their duties in a busy yet orderly manner.

Old Liu took out some of his treasured high-end equipment, including a miniature listening device, an infrared night vision device, a silenced pistol, and a bulletproof vest.

While inspecting the equipment, Li Jie gave his team members detailed task assignments.

As dusk fell and darkness descended, a bright moon hung high in the night sky. Su Ting, Li Jie, and the others came outside the cabin and began the final planning of their operation.

Su Ting patted Li Jie on the shoulder, his tone encouraging: "Li Jie, this operation is of utmost importance, and I believe you can succeed."

Li Jie clenched his fist, his eyes filled with confidence: "Don't worry, Brother Su, we'll complete the mission. You be careful too, and stay in touch."

Su Ting nodded: "We will keep a close eye on the situation here. If all goes well, we hope to hear good news from you soon."

As the last ray of light disappeared, Li Jie's small team silently left the cabin and vanished into the darkness. Su Ting and the others returned to the cabin to continue holding the rear.

Several hours later, the night grew even quieter. Suddenly, Li Jie's voice came through the earpiece: "Approaching the target location, no abnormalities detected. Prepare for action."

Su Ting immediately replied, "Received. Proceed as planned, and be careful."

Li Jie responded in a low voice, "Understood."

The group quickly approached the makeshift hut, cautiously getting closer to their target. Li Jie signaled his team members to take up key positions, then he tiptoed to the window of the hut and peered through the crack to observe the interior.

Several guards were dozing off inside, and the table was piled high with documents and communication equipment.

Li Jie made a gesture behind him, and Zhang Hao nodded in understanding. He then quietly circled around to the door, preparing to break in.

At that very moment, a slight noise broke the silence of the night, seemingly footsteps approaching from afar. Li Jie's heart tightened, and he immediately signaled to all team members to halt their movements and quickly take cover.

Zhang Hao leaned closer to Li Jie and whispered, "Could it be a patrol team?"

Li Jie frowned and replied in a low voice, "Very likely. We need to act as soon as possible, but we must be extremely careful."

At that moment, Su Ting's voice came through the earpiece: "Li Jie, unidentified people have been spotted on the perimeter. It's likely Zhao Ming's men who have increased security. Stay hidden and wait for an opportunity to act."

Li Jie nodded, his eyes becoming even more resolute: "Understood. Let's observe the situation first and wait for the best opportunity."

Just then, a guard suddenly came out of the house and stretched.

Li Jie reacted swiftly, rushing forward to cover the guard's mouth and pulling him into the shadows. Another team member quickly followed, subdued the guard, and tied him up.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Hao quickly kicked open the door of the small house, and the team members filed in, subduing the remaining guards with lightning speed and beginning to search the room.

Chapter 357 The Operation Begins

Li Jie quickly scanned the room, and after confirming there were no other threats, he nodded to his team to begin the operation. Zhang Hao and Lao Ma immediately began searching the documents, while Wang Gang stood guard at the door, just in case.

"There are too many documents; it's not realistic to take them all," Zhang Hao said in a low voice, flipping through a thick stack of documents in his hand.

Li Jie's gaze swept over the communication devices on the table: "Copy these important communication records first. We don't have time to check them all, but this data may be very useful to us."

As he spoke, Li Jie took out a small storage device from his backpack, skillfully connected it to the computer, and began copying data. Just then, Wang Gang's voice suddenly rang out from the doorway: "Brother Li, there's some noise outside."

Li Jie's heart skipped a beat. He quickly pulled out the storage device and put it in his pocket: "Hurry up, get ready to evacuate."

At the same time, Su Ting's voice came through the earpiece: "Li Jie, there's movement outside again, the situation is bad. You guys retreat immediately, we'll provide cover."

Li Jie quickly stood up and said to his team members, "Did you hear that? Everyone evacuate immediately!"

The team members responded immediately, gathering their documents and equipment, and carefully slipped out the window. Li Jie was the last to leave, glancing back at the unconscious guard to make sure no one had left any trace.

The group quickly made their way through the woods towards the designated meeting point. The night was now deeper, the moonlight obscured by thick clouds, and the surroundings were pitch black. Li Jie, using infrared night vision goggles, led the team through the forest.

Just then, footsteps sounded, growing closer. Li Jie stopped and whispered, "Enemy approaching. Everyone spread out and take cover. Wait for my signal before proceeding."

The group immediately scattered, searching for hiding places. Li Jie hid behind a large tree, holding his breath and focusing intently on the path ahead.

A moment later, several of Zhao Ming's men appeared on the path, shining flashlights around. They seemed alert, moving with unusual caution. Li Jie gripped his silenced pistol tightly, ready to strike at any moment.

Suddenly, a voice came from the bushes not far away: "Who's there? Come out!"

Zhang Hao's figure flashed by; he rushed forward, kicked one opponent to the ground, and quickly subdued him. Seeing this, Li Jie didn't hesitate to act, accurately shooting down the remaining men with several shots.

"Let's go, get out of here quickly!" Li Jie shouted.

The group quickly traversed the dense forest and finally arrived at the designated meeting point. A jeep was already parked there, and the driver was the person Su Ting had sent as a backup.

"Get on the bus, quick!" the driver urged.

Everyone quickly climbed into the jeep, which started and sped away from the scene. The car raced along the mountain road, gradually moving away from the danger zone.

Inside the car, Su Ting's voice came through the radio: "Is everyone safe?"

Li Jie, slightly out of breath, replied, "We are all safe and sound. We have obtained the important data."

"Excellent, well done!" Su Ting's voice was filled with joy. "Get some rest when you get back. We'll analyze this data as soon as possible and see if there are any new clues."

The car drove smoothly all the way, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Gang patted Li Jie on the shoulder and laughed, "Today has really been full of twists and turns."

Li Jie responded with a smile: "Fortunately, it was a close call. What we need to do next is to make use of this intelligence as soon as possible."

As night deepened outside, a warmth and hope filled the car. Everyone knew that although the operation was difficult, they were one step closer to their goal.

Suddenly, Su Ting's voice rang out again: "Wait, there's new information that needs your confirmation. We've received intelligence that Zhao Ming may have made new moves, and we need you to immediately proceed to a certain outpost to investigate."

Chapter 358 New Clues

"What? Zhao Ming has made a new move?" Li Jie immediately became alert and gripped the radio tightly in his hand.

Su Ting's voice sounded somewhat hurried over the radio: "Yes, we just received intelligence. According to our informant, Zhao Ming seems to be planning a large-scale operation, but the specifics are still unclear."

Li Jie frowned, thinking to himself, "We need more intelligence. Do you have detailed information? Such as time and location."

“Currently, we only know that they gathered in an abandoned factory, but their specific plans are still unclear. This intelligence is crucial, and we need to confirm it as soon as possible,” Su Ting added.

Li Jie nodded. Although the other person couldn't see him, he knew the situation was urgent. "Okay, we'll set off immediately. Send me the exact location of the factory."

A moment later, the car's navigation system displayed the new coordinates. Li Jie looked at the other team members, who also had serious expressions.

"Prepare for another operation," Li Jie said firmly. "Old Ma, you're in charge of navigation; Zhang Hao, prepare the communication equipment; Wang Gang, you continue to keep watch. We're leaving immediately."

The driver sped up, and the jeep sped away into the night. Silence fell inside for a moment, broken only by the slight vibrations of the vehicle and the sound of the wind outside.

Soon, they arrived at a secluded spot near the abandoned factory. The area around the factory was desolate, with several old factory buildings standing eerily in the night.

"This looks like a perfect, secluded spot," Zhang Hao said in a low voice, carefully observing the surrounding environment with an infrared imager in his hand.

Li Jie nodded, signaling everyone to spread out and find the best positions to conduct reconnaissance. He himself led Wang Gang quietly towards an abandoned factory building, preparing to conduct preliminary reconnaissance.

The two carefully made their way through the ruins to a window of the factory. Through the window, Li Jie could vaguely see figures moving inside and hear faint voices talking.

"It sounds like they're discussing some kind of plan," Wang Gang said in a low voice.

Li Jie gestured for him to be quiet, then gently pushed open a window, trying to hear the conversation inside.

“...This operation absolutely cannot go wrong,” a deep voice said.

Another voice chimed in, "That's right. If we succeed, our status will be greatly elevated. Then let's see who dares to point fingers at us."

Hearing this, Li Jie became even more vigilant. He whispered to Wang Gang, "It seems their plan is extraordinary; we must find out exactly what it is as soon as possible."

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from inside the factory, as if someone was rushing over. Li Jie quickly put his finger to his lips, signaling Wang Gang to prepare to retreat.

The two quickly retreated, taking cover behind some rubble. Just then, the factory gates opened, and a group of armed men emerged. One of them, seemingly the commander, shouted, "Everyone, proceed according to plan!"

"It seems they're really going to take action," Li Jie said in a low voice. "We need to go back and report right away."

"But if we leave so abruptly, won't we be discovered?" Wang Gang asked.

Li Jie smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'll have Lao Ma come to meet us. Now, follow me, and be quick!"
