The Courtyard House: The story begins with He Yuzhu beating up the White Widow.

After doing his good deed, He Yuzhu dusted himself off and went home for a peaceful nap. However, many people stayed up all night helping him "clean up the mess," especially Zhang Qiang. He Yuzhu never expected Zhang Qiang to be on duty at the station that day. Just as He Yuzhu was dropping off the complaint letter, Zhang Qiang went to the restroom.

After using the restroom, Zhang Qiang returned to his desk. He had just sat down to take a drink of water when he saw the complaint letter on his desk. Startled after reading its contents, Zhang Qiang ran out of the office and asked the officer on duty, "Who just entered my office?!"

The police officers on duty all shook their heads.

Zhang Qiang frowned deeply and said, "Xiao Gao, go to the instructor's house and call him over."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Xiao Gao immediately went to fetch someone.

About an hour later, Instructor Ye Guoliang rushed into Zhang Qiang's office and asked, "Old Zhang, what happened?! Why did you call me here so late at night?!"

Zhang Qiang pushed the letter of complaint in front of Ye Guoliang and said, "Old Ye, you'll see when you read it!"

Ye Guoliang sat down opposite Zhang Qiang, picked up the letter of complaint on the table, and began to read it. As he read, Ye Guoliang's expression changed. He asked, "Old Zhang, where did this come from?!"

Zhang Qiang said, "I'm also wondering how this whistleblower letter ended up on my desk. I asked the people on duty, and none of them saw anyone enter my office."

Ye Guoliang said, "Old Zhang, the matter in the whistleblower letter is no small matter. We can't afford to take that risk. Either we wait until dawn and report it directly to the branch office, or we go and arrest the person now. We arrest that guy in Doujiao Hutong, conduct a surprise interrogation, get his confession, and report it to the branch office at dawn."

Zhang Qiang gave a wry smile and said, "This is a huge problem!" Then he asked, "Old Ye, what are your thoughts?!"

Ye Guoliang said, "What can we think?! We'll report it directly after dawn. Then we'll coordinate our actions."

Meanwhile, in Zhao Gang's office.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

After receiving Zhao Gang's permission, the secretary pushed open the office door and entered, saying, "Political Commissar, these are the statistical report and the test report!"

Zhao Gang took the folder, opened it, and quickly scanned its contents. His brows furrowed, and he muttered, "Who sent all this supplies?!" Then, Zhao Gang looked at his secretary and asked, "Were there any traces left at the scene?!"

The secretary replied, "There were no traces left at the scene. We also questioned the comrades from the military control commission responsible for that area. According to them, the compound had been abandoned for a long time. We also questioned the comrades on night patrol, and they didn't find anything unusual either."

After listening to his secretary's account, Zhao Gang frowned even more deeply and muttered to himself, "Could these things really have fallen from the sky?!"

Right now, the front lines are facing severe shortages of food and medicine, so these supplies that appeared out of nowhere are a godsend. The supplies passed the initial inspection without any problems. Zhao Gang plans to conduct a second inspection at dawn to confirm they are truly safe before immediately sending them to the front lines.

Before they knew it, it was five o'clock in the morning. Zhao Gang finally finished his work and dozed off at his desk. Meanwhile, Zhang Qiang and Ye Guoliang finished arranging the work at their station and headed to the branch office.

When Branch Chief Song Fuyong arrived at his office door, Zhang Qiang and Ye Guoliang were already waiting there. Song Fuyong asked, "What brings you two here so early?!" Seeing their hesitant expressions, Song Fuyong opened the door and led them into his office.

After the office door closed, Song Fuyong said, "Now you can talk!"

Zhang Qiang took out the letter of complaint from his briefcase and handed it to Song Fuyong, saying, "Old Company Commander, take a look at this first."

After receiving the letter of complaint and inviting Zhang Qiang and Ye Guoliang to sit down, Song Fuyong began to read it carefully. As he read, his expression instantly changed. Song Fuyong asked, "Where did this letter of complaint come from?!"

Zhang Qiang said, "Old Company Commander, I was on duty at the station last night. I went to the restroom and this letter appeared on my desk. I asked the people on duty last night, and none of them saw anyone enter my office. This letter of complaint seems to have appeared out of thin air."

After listening to Zhang Qiang's words, Song Fuyong picked up the letter of complaint again and looked at it. Then he walked to his desk, picked up the phone, and said, "Connect me to Minister Li's office."

A moment later, Minister Li's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Song, what's up calling me so early?!"

Song Fuyong said, "Old leader, something really has come up! And it's a big deal. Are you free now?! I'd like to report to you in person."

Minister Li checked today's itinerary and said, "Come here!"

"Yes!" Song Fuyong hung up the phone and said to Zhang Qiang and Ye Guoliang, "You two go back first! I will inform you of the next steps."

"Yes!" Zhang Qiang and Ye Guoliang responded in unison and followed Song Fuyong out of the office.

"Brother, what are we having for breakfast this morning?!" He Yushui woke up from her deep sleep, opened her eyes and saw He Yuzhu sitting at the table eating breakfast. She yawned and asked casually.

He Yuzhu replied, "I made guanbing (a type of savory crepe) today."

"A pancake?!" He Yushui's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly got out of bed. Seeing this, He Yuzhu hurriedly put down the pancake he was holding, ran over, picked up He Yushui, and put her on the bed. While helping her get dressed, he said, "Yushui, I saved your things! It won't make a difference if you don't dress properly. It's so cold; what if you catch a cold if you go out without clothes on?!"

He Yushui smiled sweetly at He Yuzhu and said, "Brother, I know! You don't need to say anything more."

"Fine! I won't say anything more!" After saying that, He Yuzhu tossed He Yushui's socks to her and went back to the table to continue eating breakfast.

About five or six minutes later, He Yushui also came to the table and sat down. She picked up the rice porridge He Yuzhu had just served her, took a sip, and asked, "Brother, where are we going today?!"

He Yuzhu countered, "Where do you want to go?!"

He Yushui tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head and replied, "I don't know either. Anyway, I'll follow you wherever you go."

"You little tagalong!" He Yuzhu muttered with a laugh, then said, "Your clothes are a bit old. I'll take you to buy some fabric later, and then we'll ask Auntie Pang in the front yard to make them for you."

"Mmm!" He Yushui responded cheerfully, picked up a piece of pancake and stuffed it into her mouth.
