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

Chapter 188: Did they subject them to the most brutal tortures of the Qing Dynasty?

Not long after, Bai Ling also came over from outside.

With these appliances in Zhou Feng's home, she became more and more adept at cooking.

Add water to the rinsed rice in the rice cooker according to the ratio to make porridge. After an hour, fry three or four eggs. This will make it quite good.

"Eggs again? Try something new!"

Zhou Feng glanced at Bai Ling with a hint of helplessness, a slight reluctance appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Resources are limited right now. Even though you have plenty of supplies, we can't be too extravagant, can we?"

While helping him get bowls and chopsticks to serve porridge, Bai Ling casually offered an explanation.

"Hey? By the way, when I came this morning, I saw Xu Damao run out like he'd seen a ghost, he almost bumped into me. Did you scare him?"

Why would I scare him?!

Zhou Feng took a sip of porridge, a hint of helplessness on his face: "I just stood at the door and greeted him, and he ran out like a madman."

"And that old man, when I ran into him this morning, he was so scared he almost peed his pants just from saying hello to me."

"How did your Special Operations Division treat them? Did you subject them to some of the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty? How did they get so terrified?"

Bai Ling rolled her eyes at him, served herself some porridge, and sat down opposite Zhou Feng. "Stop talking nonsense! Our unit is a legitimate organization that follows policies and discipline! They just studied the laws and regulations diligently there and realized they had done something wrong, that's why they acted this way!"

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Zhou Feng struck a pose reminiscent of a certain big-headed TV host from later generations, and also recited some classic lines.

Bai Ling had never heard such a thing before, and she really thought he was questioning her, so she sighed helplessly.

This is the downside of dating Zhou Feng; his nature is too important. Even if Bai Ling wanted to play around with him, she was afraid that her colleagues would report it to the authorities.

We'll have to wait until tonight to talk about it!

"I know your department; how could you scare someone like this without even subjecting them to torture? But it's alright, they're doing pretty well."

Zhou Feng took a sip of soy milk, feeling the progress of the double penetration within his body, and nodded in satisfaction.

Xu Damao went out, and right now, the emotional support he gets is probably from him and the older woman.

What a good person Lao Yi is!

Not only did he himself provide a tremendous amount of emotional value, but he also influenced his wife!

This is the true source of emotional value in a traditional courtyard house.

Before he was arrested, he was one of the top emotional value providers. After going in for further training, he came out even more efficient!

"You pity them? When these people ganged up on you, you were ruthless enough to retaliate. Now you pity them?"

Bai Ling glared at Zhou Feng, annoyed. He had been arguing with these three people for so long, and the damage must have been considerable!

"Ahem! Let's get down to business. Weren't we supposed to be checking the warehouse today? When are we leaving?"

Zhou Feng coughed lightly, somewhat awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject.

"Let's go after we finish eating. Director Sun has already made arrangements; everyone has left. The place is a bit out of the way, but it's big enough and secluded."

When Bai Ling got down to business, her expression turned serious. "You really don't need our help with warehousing and unloading?"

Although she knew Zhou Feng had his own abilities, she still asked him a question as a matter of routine, which was also a way to dispel his guard.

"Of course not! Don't underestimate me, okay? I'm quite powerful in America too!"

Zhou Feng patted his chest and assured him.

"Hey, hey, hey, take your hand away!"

Bai Ling shoved Zhou Feng, who was still patting his chest confidently, aside in an annoyed manner.

This person is so annoying; they'll attack you if you're not careful.

After the two finished breakfast, Bai Ling tidied herself up a bit, then pushed her bicycle and went out with Zhou Feng.

The courtyard was quiet.

Yi Zhonghai's house was closed tightly, and there was not a sound; he was probably still shaken.

Inside the hallway, Madam Jia leaned against the wall, secretly watching Zhou Feng and Bai Ling push the cart away before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

However, these two young people were inseparable, even eating together every day.

Does Qin Huairu's sister still have a chance?

The two rode their bicycles through the streets of Beiping.

There were already quite a few bicycles around this time, but their spirited demeanor still attracted a lot of attention.

Despite their curiosity, no one was foolish enough to approach them.

There were many people in special departments in Beiping, and they were all afraid of causing trouble for themselves.

They rode for nearly an hour, gradually leaving the bustling city center and heading towards the western suburbs.

The surrounding buildings became low and sparse, and large areas of farmland and bare forests appeared. The road surface also changed from asphalt to gravel and dirt road, which became bumpy.

"We're almost there," Bai Ling said, pointing ahead.

Zhou Feng, slightly out of breath, looked at the area enclosed by a tall brick wall that appeared in front of him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the level of secrecy inside is quite high; not only is there a high wall, but there is also barbed wire on top.

There were armed soldiers standing guard at the entrance, and a guard post next to it.

Bai Ling stepped forward, showed her identification, and then made a phone call inside.

After a while, the door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a cadre uniform and glasses came out to greet them.

"Hello, comrades. I am Wang Weiguo, who is in charge of managing this warehouse."

He was very polite, shaking hands with each of them before leading them inside.

"Director Sun has already given instructions. After I bring you two in, I will give you the keys. The two guards at the door and I will leave temporarily until we receive further instructions!"

"Thank you for your help!"

After taking the keys from Wang Weiguo, Zhou Feng didn't even get a chance to exchange pleasantries before the other man turned and walked outside without looking back.

Although Zhou Feng's request was rather outrageous, and many of the guards were puzzled, Wang Weiguo and the other guards obeyed the order and left the place.

The two went inside, where there was a row of huge warehouses, each of which was connected to the next.

Although it looks a bit old, it is well maintained; the brick walls are sturdy and the windows are intact.

Pushing open the iron gate and stepping inside, a smell mixed with dust and old wood hits you.

"This is the place, I see it's all taken care of. You've handled the moisture-proofing, fireproofing, and theft prevention; I'm only responsible for transportation. Is that alright?"

Zhou Feng walked around the warehouse, looked around, touched the walls and the floor, and nodded.
