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

He Yuzhu pulled off the facekini covering his head and replied, "Next, find a place to make a phone call and get you to where you need to go." After saying that, He Yuzhu found the right direction and led Lin Hongming and his group towards the highway.

"Who goes there?!" He Yuzhu and his group ran into the border patrol team just as they were about to reach the highway. He Yuzhu quickly replied, "We're on the same side!" He then took out his identification and letter of introduction from his pocket and handed them to the patrol team members.

The patrol leader took He Yuzhu's identification and letter of introduction and examined them carefully. Although the patrol leader was basically certain that He Yuzhu was one of their own, for security reasons, he still ordered his patrol members to search them, confiscated He Yuzhu's service weapon, and then took everyone back to their base.

"Ring! Ring!" A little after five in the morning, Zhang Hu, who had just fallen asleep, was startled awake by a ringing phone. Before he could even answer, Secretary Zheng's excited voice came from the other end: "Old Zhang, which extraordinary person did you send to Hong Kong this time?!"

Zhang Hu, who had been dozing off, was instantly jolted awake by these words and asked, "Secretary Zheng, something happened to him?!"

Secretary Zheng replied with a smile, "Not only did he escape unharmed, but he also completed his mission perfectly. He not only brought Lin Hongming back, but he also brought back everyone else who had been detained by the foreigners."

Hearing this, Zhang Hu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He asked, "Secretary Zheng, how are they doing now?!"

Secretary Zheng said, "They're just a little malnourished. They'll be fine after some rest! The leader has arranged for them to take the express train that departs from Guangzhou at 7:00 AM this morning. They should arrive in Beijing by 7:00 PM tomorrow at the latest. The leader has asked you to take some people to the train station to pick them up."

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!" Zhang Hu said, then hung up after hearing the busy tone on the phone. He lit a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, and thought to himself, "This kid really has the makings for this!"

A little after 6:30 in the morning, He Yuzhu and his group finished breakfast and were put on the train. He Yuzhu got a free sleeper berth thanks to Lin Hongming and his associates. Presumably, with Lin Hongming and his group on board, security was stronger, so they didn't encounter any of the usual problems along the way. The next evening, a little after 6:00, the train arrived at Beijing Railway Station 15 minutes ahead of schedule.

"Comrade Lin Hongming, welcome back!" He Yuzhu and his group had just gotten off the train when Secretary Zheng and Zhang Hu approached to greet them. He Yuzhu, with great tact, stepped aside. Secretary Zheng shook hands with Lin Hongming, then greeted the others, before leading Lin Hongming and the others to a car parked nearby. At this moment, Zhang Hu walked over to He Yuzhu and said, "You've got guts! You didn't disappoint me." Zhang Hu then ushered He Yuzhu into the jeep parked nearby.

Once the car started moving, Zhang Hu asked, "When did you arrive in Gangcheng?! Why didn't you contact anyone there?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "I got off the plane the night before and went there that very night. Although I was unfamiliar with the place, I can read. I bought a map of the port city at a bookstore there." After saying this, He Yuzhu, fearing that Zhang Hu would not believe him, took the map out of his bag and handed it to Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu took the map, looked at the circled areas, and asked, "I heard the defenses over there are very tight. How did you manage to rescue them?!"

He Yuzhu said, "I was lucky; I ran into a truck that was delivering supplies over there. I hid under the truck and sneaked in. Then I stayed in their warehouse for a day. That's when I found an opportunity to take care of all the guards inside." He then said, "Uncle, don't ask me to do this kind of thing again! I never want to do it again! It's simply inhuman."

Zhang Hu laughed and said, "You've done a great job this time. I reckon you won't be able to stay at the Nanluoguxiang Police Station any longer. You should be prepared to be transferred to a branch office."

He Yuzhu replied, "I'll go see my Aunt Wang tomorrow and ask her to transfer me to her place."

Upon hearing that He Yuzhu was going to find Wang Xia, Zhang Hu's expression instantly changed. Zhang Hu said coldly, "You think you're so tough after going out for a stroll?! You're actually threatening me now?!"

"Threatening you?! Who dares to threaten you?!" After saying that, He Yuzhu snorted heavily, wrapped his clothes tighter, and closed his eyes.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was completely unyielding, Zhang Hu was at a loss and could only sigh helplessly. When the jeep arrived at the entrance of the alley where He Yuzhu lived, Zhang Hu told the driver to stop the car. Zhang Hu patted He Yuzhu's face and urged, "Wake up! We're here! Don't sleep!"

He Yuzhu rubbed his eyes, yawned, and asked, "Where are we?!"

Zhang Hu said, "We've arrived at the entrance of your alley."

He Yuzhu poked his head out and looked outside, saying, "We've really arrived at the entrance of my alley." He then prepared to get out of the car. Zhang Hu stopped him, saying, "Don't forget to report to the station tomorrow."

"Got it!" He Yuzhu got out of the car and walked into the alley without looking back.

Watching He Yuzhu's retreating figure, Zhang Hu couldn't help but mutter, "That little rascal!" He then said to the driver, "Drive!"

As He Yuzhu reached the entrance of courtyard number 95, Pang Qi was just about to lock the door. He Yuzhu hurriedly called out, "Uncle Pang! Please wait a moment before locking the door!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's voice, Pang Qi asked, "Zhuzi, it's been a few days. Where have you been coming from?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "My company sent me on a business trip. I just got back! These past few days have been exhausting!" With that, He Yuzhu stepped over the threshold, took out a cigarette pack from his pocket, and saw there were only two cigarettes left. He Yuzhu immediately shoved the pack into Pang Qi's hand, saying, "Uncle Pang, I can't keep you company any longer. I'm going home now!"

"Okay!" Pang Qi casually stuffed the cigarette pack into his pocket and quickly closed the door.

He Yuzhu walked into the courtyard and saw that all the lights were off. He decided not to wake He Daqing. He walked to the kitchen door, took out his key, unlocked the door, and pulled the cord near the door. The kitchen light came on. He went to the stove, lifted the lid of the steamer, and saw steamed buns inside. He then warmed the buns in the firebox, and then found some dried shrimp and seaweed to make himself a soup.

Just as He Yuzhu was wolfing down his food, He Daqing suddenly walked in from outside. Seeing He Yuzhu, He Daqing asked, "When did you get back?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Just got back!"

He Daqing walked over and sat down next to He Yuzhu, asking, "Is the matter settled?!"
