Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

At noon, Xu Damao limped back to the courtyard house, pushing his deformed bicycle.

Qin Jingru was shocked when she saw Xu Damao. Xu Damao was limping, his bicycle was dilapidated, his face was covered in abrasions, and his clothes were covered in mud and water stains.

Qin Jingru rushed to Xu Damao, grabbed his hands, and said in a tearful voice, "Damao-ge, what's wrong?"

"Hey! Stop talking!"

"I accidentally fell down a hillside on my way to the countryside."

As he spoke, Xu Damao plopped down on the bed.

Panting heavily, Xu Damao said to Qin Jingru, who was busy pouring water for him, "Find me a set of clean clothes and get me a basin of hot water so I can wash up."

Qin Jingru handed the hot water she had poured to Xu Damao and then went to pour more water.

While wiping Xu Damao's body, Qin Jingru said, "Yesterday, Second Uncle was arrested by the steel mill's security department."

Gripping in pain, Xu Damao asked, "What happened? What did he do?"

Although Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong formed an alliance to deal with Li Yu, it didn't stop him from gloating.

"It seems it's because they secretly took some blueprints from the steel rolling mill."

"It seems it was Li Yu who led the arrest!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao immediately turned to Qin Jingru and asked in shock, "What? Li Yu led the arrest!"

"Could it be that he knows something?"

Qin Jingru, hearing Xu Damao muttering to himself, asked, "What do you know?"

Suddenly, she remembered what Xu Damao had said about dealing with Li Yu: "Huh? Could it be that he already knows?"

"No, no, you're just scaring yourself," Qin Huairu said, patting her chest.

Xu Damao frowned as he looked at the water in the basin. He was now unsure whether Li Yu really knew anything.

Xu Damao was still quite wary of Li Yu's methods.

When Li Yu returned home in the afternoon, he found that Bai Ling had not yet come back, so he cooked himself a bowl of noodles and ate it.

After finishing his noodles, Li Yu sat down at his desk to read, but he couldn't concentrate at all.

I always feel a sense of unease in my heart.

Just as Li Yu was staring blankly at the book, he was awakened by a rapid knocking on the door.

He quickly opened the door and saw a policeman.

Li Yu looked at the policeman in front of him, who was running out of breath, and asked, "Comrade, what do you need me for?"

Are you Li Yu?

"Yes, that is me."

"Come with me quickly, something happened to Bai Ling."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu's mind went blank for a moment.

Li Yu quickly walked out with the police.

Just as we arrived at the gate of the hospital, a jeep stopped.

The person in the car was Zhao Tiezhu.

Li Yu looked at Zhao Tiezhu anxiously and asked, "What's wrong with Bai Ling?"

As Zhao Tiezhu drove, he quickly said, "Today, when we were arresting spies, Bai Ling got separated from the group because she ran too fast during the chase and was ambushed and captured by those agents."

"The group of spies have now taken Bai Ling to an abandoned courtyard house."

"They kidnapped Bai Ling and confronted the police. We tried to storm them several times but failed and lost several brothers."

"The city bureau chief and Bai Ling's father are both present at the scene."

"Bai Ling's father asked us to come and ask you for help."

Bai Ling had previously told her father about the day Li Yu was kidnapped, so in her father's eyes, Li Yu's abilities far surpassed those of the police.

Li Yu was so worried about Bai Ling's safety the whole way that he didn't even notice that he had crushed the car door handle.

As soon as they arrived near the courtyard house, before the car had even stopped, Li Yu opened the car door and jumped out.

As soon as Li Yu got off the bus, he saw a group of police officers surrounding a courtyard house.

Bai Ling's father paced back and forth at the gate of the courtyard, his eyes fixed on the inside of the yard.

Li Yu arrived in front of Bai Ling's father.

Li Yu asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Uncle, how is Bai Ling?"

Bai Junshi said in a low voice, "The situation is unclear for the time being, but there should be no danger to his life."

With red eyes, Li Yu said to Bai's father and Director Dong Aiguo, "Now I need two knives."

Dong Aiguo waved to the two policemen, who then handed the knives they were carrying to Li Yu.

Li Yu, his eyes flashing with madness as he looked at the knife in his hand, said, "I can't guarantee these people will live!"

After saying that, Li Yu ran to the wall of the back house, bent his knees slightly, and jumped lightly, landing silently on the roof.

When Li Yu saw two armed men at the entrance of the main house, he did not make a move immediately. Instead, he quietly crouched down and went up to the roof of the main house.

Li Yu gently lifted two roof tiles and saw what was inside.

There were four spies, all of medium build, but each of them was sitting at the table with a gun in his hand.

One of them was still sending telegrams continuously.

It seems this is their safe house.

Bai Ling was tied to a corner with ropes and her mouth was gagged. Although she had some abrasions, she should not have suffered any other injuries.

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Bai Ling was unharmed. If Bai Ling had really had any problems, Li Yu would have tortured these people to death.

Just as Li Yu took out four throwing knives from the system space, someone in the room spoke.

"I've sent the message. Should the technician handle it?"

Another person, fiddling with a pistol in his hand, said:

"If you don't need it, just leave it for the next group of people who come."

"I never expected them to actually develop a five-axis machine tool. It's just a pity we didn't get the complete blueprints."

The man who had been fiddling with the pistol stood up, pulled a box of explosives from under the bed, placed it heavily on the table, and said:

"Gentlemen! For the glory of the empire, we must take these Chinese people with us to our deaths!"

"So they're just a bunch of Japanese," Li Yu muttered.

Seeing that the man was about to detonate the explosive device, Li Yu did not hesitate at all and forcefully shot out the four knives in his hand.

"Thud thud thud thud" Four consecutive sounds as knives pierced the heads of the four men.

The knife was inserted deep into the handle.

Bai Ling, who was in the corner, knew instantly that Li Yu had arrived when she saw this scene.

After dealing with the four people inside the house, Li Yu landed on the rooftop in front of the two guards.

Upon seeing another person in front of them, the two men first stared at Li Yu with wide eyes, and then immediately raised their pistols.

Just as the two men raised their hands halfway, Li Yu grabbed their heads and slammed them together violently. "Bang!" Their heads exploded.

Li Yu was stunned to see the two people fall. He had originally intended to knock them unconscious like in the TV dramas, but he ended up killing them instead.

Li Yu raised his foot and kicked the door hard. "Bang!" He saw his foot stuck in the door and Bai Ling staring at him with wide eyes.

Li Yu felt extremely embarrassed. He had originally wanted to make a spectacular entrance in front of Bai Ling, but instead, he ended up feeling awkward.

"Hehehe!" Li Yu chuckled awkwardly.

He quickly went to Bai Ling and untied the rope.

Just as Li Yu was about to explain the awkward situation, Bai Ling suddenly hugged him.

Li Yu, who was being held, could clearly feel Bai Ling's body trembling.

"Li Yu, I thought I would never see you again."

"I thought I was going to die today," Bai Ling said, her voice trembling with tears.

Li Yu gently stroked Bai Ling's back and said:

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all over now."

"I'll remember this grudge with the Japanese; this isn't over."

"If I get the chance, I'll personally take you to bomb Tokyo."

Bai Ling, who was originally crying with tears streaming down her face, burst out laughing at Li Yu's words.
