Courtyard House: Starting by inheriting the tradition and suppressing the barbarians.

Early Sunday morning.

Li Xuan rode his newly bought bicycle, carrying Li Tian and Xiao Yu, straight to Qianmen Dashilan.

As for her mother, Su Yun, she unfortunately couldn't come along because she had to work overtime in the hospital's emergency room.

"Brother, where should we go to buy clothes?"

Sitting on the bar, Li Tian asked excitedly.

He now idolizes his omnipotent older brother to the extreme.

"Go to Zhengyangmen, there's a time-honored restaurant there with excellent craftsmanship."

Li Xuan pedaled the bicycle with lightning speed.

Before long, the three of them arrived at a shop with rather exquisite decorations – Xue Ru Silk Shop.

This is a well-known and long-established brand in Beijing.

The proprietress, Chen Xueru, is a "rose with thorns" under the Zhengyang Gate.

Now that he was here, Li Xuan naturally wanted to meet this legendary extraordinary woman.

As soon as you enter the store, a warm breeze mixed with the unique fragrance of fabric hits you.

Behind the counter, a woman wearing a purplish-red cheongsam and with long, wavy hair was fiddling with an abacus.

Hearing the noise, she looked up, a professional smile appearing on her charming face.

It was Chen Xueru!

"Hey, young comrades, what would you like to buy?"

Chen Xueru has a sharp eye and can tell at a glance that although the three siblings are dressed plainly.

But his spirit and energy are extraordinary.

Especially the young man leading the group, with his sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and tall, upright posture!

That calm and composed demeanor even impressed the seasoned businesswoman who had seen countless people.

"Boss lady, I'd like to make some clothes."

Li Xuan walked to the counter, took out a stack of ten-yuan notes and a few cloth coupons from his pocket, and gently patted them on the table.

"Make two sets of winter clothes for each of us, my two siblings, and my mother."

"I want the best fabric, the warmest cotton, and as for the style..."

"Let's go with the most popular Lenin suit and Zhongshan suit right now."

Chen Xueru glanced at the stack of money on the table, her eyes flickering slightly.

These days, it's not an ordinary family that can casually produce so much cash.

"Young man, you have real guts!"

Chen Xueru's smile became more genuine as she swayed her hips as she walked out of the counter.

"Come on, let your older sister take your measurements herself."

"The fabric we use here is the best in Beijing!"

During the process of taking measurements for the clothes, Chen Xueru inquired about Li Xuan's family background, intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Xuan only said that they were from an ordinary working-class family, and didn't say anything more.

This mature, composed, and impeccable manner of speaking only made Chen Xueru think more highly of her.

He secretly gave this handsome young man a high score in his heart.

"Alright, the measurements are done."

"Come pick it up around this time next week."

Chen Xueru put away the measuring tape and even gave Xiaoyu two pretty hair accessories, making the little girl beam with joy.

After leaving the silk shop, Li Xuan did not rush home.

He pushed the cart, leading his younger siblings through the alleys near Zhengyangmen, intending to find a place to eat roast duck before going back.

Just as we were passing by a secluded, detached courtyard!

"Beep...beep beep..."

A very subtle yet rhythmic sound suddenly entered Li Xuan's ears.

Li Xuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Li Tian asked, puzzled.

"Shh!"

Li Xuan made a shushing gesture, his eyes instantly sharpening.

After undergoing marrow cleansing and bone tempering, his hearing became far superior to that of ordinary people.

Although the sound was mostly blocked by the thick walls and quilts, he heard it clearly.

That's the sound of a radio broadcast!

He didn't understand Morse code, but he had heard this unique rhythm countless times in spy dramas from his previous life!

"Sending telegrams in broad daylight, hiding in a house?"

"They're either spies or enemy agents!"

Li Xuan sneered inwardly. It was truly a case of "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly."

Just when I was worried about not having enough merit points, this "walking experience pack" was delivered right to my door!

He didn't make any rash moves, but instead pretended to tie his shoelaces and squatted down.

Then, a powerful mental force, like an invisible tentacle, instantly penetrated the courtyard wall and spread into the interior of the small courtyard.

Mental scan!

Within a ten-meter radius, nothing can hide!

The image appeared clearly in his mind:

This is just an ordinary courtyard with weeds growing inside, seemingly uninhabited.

But under the bed in the main room, there was an extremely well-hidden entrance to a cellar!

Mental energy probed in through the entrance.

In the dark and damp basement, a dim yellow table lamp was on.

A middle-aged man with a mustache and a sinister look was wearing headphones and intently tapping on a telegraph machine.

On a table next to him, two black pistols were prominently displayed.

There were also a few hand grenades that looked dangerous!

What made Li Xuan's heart race even faster was that in the corner of the basement, there was a heavy wooden box.

Mental power penetrates the wooden box...

Golden light!

A dazzling golden light!

That was a neatly stacked layer of gold!

There are still a lot of US dollars and Yuan Shikai silver dollars buried underneath!

"Wow, this spy's got some serious fat!"

Li Xuan was overjoyed.

If we just stormed in and arrested them, we could earn merit, but it would be such a waste to confiscate all those gold bars.

Moreover, the other party has guns and grenades. What if they get cornered and hurt someone?

"Since I've run into this situation, I might as well collect some interest first."

Li Xuan squatted in the corner, a cunning smile playing on his lips.

"System space, take it!"

A thought crossed my mind.

In the basement.

The agent, engrossed in sending the telegram, was completely unaware.

Right behind him in the corner, the wooden box full of activity funds suddenly vanished into thin air!

Not a speck of dust was stirred up!

But it's not over yet.

Li Xuan's gaze then settled on the two pistols on the table.

"If we put the guns away, it will make too much noise and easily alert the enemy..."

Li Xuan had a sudden inspiration and precisely channeled his mental energy into the magazine of the pistol.

"receive!"

The next second, the bullets in the magazine, along with the fuses of those grenades, were released.

They all entered Li Xuan's Purple Cloud Space without a sound!

At this moment.

Those two seemingly deadly handguns were no different from scrap metal.

Those grenades became nothing more than harmless lumps of iron.

After doing all this, the agent was still tapping away at the telegram.

Completely unaware that he had become a toothless tiger, and even less aware that his savings of many years had changed hands.

"Brother, have you tied your shoelaces?"

"I'm hungry," Li Tian urged from the side.

"Alright, let's go get some roast duck!"

Li Xuan stood up, in a great mood.

This opportunistic theft not only brought them a windfall but also eliminated the threat of armed conflict ahead of schedule.

As for this spy...

"I'll let you knock for a while longer, after I've eaten and drunk my fill."

"Go to the police station and give Captain Xu a big gift!"

Li Xuan mounted his bicycle, took his younger siblings, and rode away, concealing his achievements and fame.
