Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

Bai Ling took a deep breath.

After all, he was there on official business, so he glanced at the three people in turn.

"Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu! After this period of investigation and review by the organization, we are now beginning to ask you: Have you developed a proper understanding of your mistakes?"

"It's true! It's true! I was so wrong, I regret it and I've corrected it! I was such a terrible person before, I will definitely treat Comrade Zhou Feng seriously from now on!"

Xu Damao was the first to respond, followed closely by Sha Zhu, who even slapped himself twice first: "Comrade Bai Ling, I know my mistake all too well, I promise I'll never do it again!"

Although Yi Zhonghai was too embarrassed to shout it out loud, he still smacked himself in the face a few times.

They both slapped him, and Xu Damao didn't hesitate to slap himself twice more.

What if Bai Ling thinks he's not conscientious enough because he didn't fan her, and then refuses to take him out?

"Since you all know you were wrong, I will announce the organization's decision to release the three of you."

These words were like heavenly music. The three of them immediately stopped crying and stared wide-eyed at Bai Ling, as if afraid they had misheard.

Did she use the word "release" in what she just said?

"But let me make this clear beforehand: your release doesn't mean your problems are over! Once you're out, you must always remember this lesson!"

"You must abide by the law, unite with your neighbors, work diligently, and reform your thinking! There must be absolutely no more words or actions that harm the collective interest, undermine neighborhood unity, or specifically target Comrade Zhou Feng! Otherwise, the next time the matter will not be handled so simply! Do you understand?"

"Understood! Understood! Thank you, organization! Thank you, Comrade Bai Ling!"

The three nodded hurriedly, tears streaming down their faces.

Forget about not targeting Zhou Feng; from now on, we'll all avoid him!

As long as I can be released, meeting someone and kowtowing isn't something I can't accept.

"In that case, come out!"

Bai Ling gestured to the officer beside her, who then opened the iron doors to the three cells one by one.

At this moment, the three men looked like savages, their eyes filled with disbelief. They leaned against the wall and staggered out of the cell.

Even when they stepped onto the concrete floor outside the prison cell, they felt a sense of unreality.

Even the dim lighting in the corridor felt incredibly warm to them!

After helping the three complete the simple release procedures and having them sign a guarantee, Bai Ling led them out of the underground prison area.

As the three of them stood in the open courtyard, looking at the stars and feeling the biting winter wind, they all took a deep breath at the same time.

"Plop," "Plop," "Plop!"

Without any warning, Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai, and Shazhu almost simultaneously buckled at the knees and collapsed to their knees on the cold, hard ground.

They didn't speak, like fish that had been thrown ashore and were finally able to return to the water, tilting their heads back, opening their mouths wide, and breathing in the air of freedom.

Tears welled up in their eyes and streamed down their dark faces, leaving streaks.

The three wanted to wail, but they were afraid that if they cried too loudly, they would be dragged back. So they could only bite their lower lips tightly and make whimpering sounds, their whole bodies trembling.

Bai Ling, who was watching from the side, clicked her tongue slightly, looking a little reluctant.

This place is indeed a bit perverted.

Like the prisons she had visited before, at least they were bright and spacious, and the prisoners could occasionally go out for some fresh air, see other prisoners, and talk to the guards.

Unlike inside, where the light is dim, there is no sound or interaction. Even if you sent her inside, she probably wouldn't last long before being driven crazy!

Normally, the oppressive atmosphere here is meant to be used to deal with enemy agents and other bad elements. It is indeed a bit excessive for the three ordinary people to be locked up here.

At this moment, Zhou Feng also looked at the progress of the double-penetration technique in his body, which had inexplicably increased significantly, and nodded in satisfaction.

It looks like Bai Ling has already released those three guys. I'll go find them again tomorrow to collect some more emotional value!

He had no idea what those three were about to be transformed into!

After a while, the three of them calmed down a bit, sobbing as they helped each other to their feet.

When they came out of the prison area, their legs were still a little weak, but the numbness in their eyes had lessened considerably, and they looked more like living people again.

"Let's go, I'm going back to the courtyard house, and I'll take you all with me."

Although the three of them smelled terrible, considering their current mental state, Bai Ling decided to take them back with her.

The jeep driver's brows remained furrowed ever since he saw the three of them, especially after they got into the back seat!

If Bai Ling hadn't personally arranged it, he would have kicked all three of them down, one by one.

This jeep is so precious; he wipes it down with a cloth almost every day, and now these three people have dirtied it!

However, the three of them remained unusually silent throughout the journey, simply huddling together closely.

He would only occasionally turn his head to look at the streets and houses rushing past outside.

These were commonplace scenes before, but now they seem like paradise to them.

The jeep slowly drove into Nanluoguxiang and stopped at the entrance of a courtyard house. Bai Ling jumped out of the passenger seat first, then took a deep breath and waved to the back seat: "We're here, get out!"

The three of them climbed out of the car with trepidation, almost using both hands and feet. Standing in front of the familiar courtyard gate, they felt a strange sense of being in another world.

Tears welled up again, leaving a trail when wiped away with the back of my hand.

"Go on, go home, just remember what I said!"

Bai Ling gave them a few words of advice, then took the lead and walked into the courtyard.

She needed to go home and change her clothes first, because even sitting in the same car with these three people made her feel like she had picked up a sour smell.

If she went directly to Zhou Feng's house, that guy would probably say something to make fun of her again!

Xu Damao and the other two exchanged glances. Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, their eyes finally showed a hint of bewilderment and relief at surviving a disaster, but their hearts were still filled with fear of the Special Operations Division.

"Let's go... let's go, we're home!"

Yi Zhonghai's voice was choked with emotion as the three of them stepped inside together.

"Hey! What holiday is it? Where did this beggar come from, and why is he sneaking into the yard?"
