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

If Zhou Feng's life hadn't been threatened, Bai Ling would never have drawn her gun in broad daylight.

After all, they are still on the street with many people around them. Her actions would definitely cause public panic and are strictly prohibited by the organization!

But now, she really had no choice. The kid opposite her was holding a three-edged scraper, a deadly weapon!

Anyone who can get their hands on a triangular scraper and dare to use it must be quite skilled.

If she didn't draw her gun, she really wouldn't dare gamble that her speed in disarming the opponent with her bare hands could outpace their instinctive stab.

If he is not careful, Zhou Feng could be killed on the spot.

If this guy were to injure Zhou Feng during the fight, all the previous careful planning and all the expectations for the future would be in vain!

Compared to the potential impact on Zhou Feng's perception of the world, or even the threat to his life, drawing a gun in the street is truly a trivial matter!

Even if this thug who dared to threaten Zhou Feng were executed ten thousand times, it wouldn't compensate for the potential losses he might cause to the country!

Therefore, at the critical moment when she noticed Zhou Feng's expression change suddenly and his attention was slightly distracted, Bai Ling seized the opportunity immediately, rescued him, and then immediately drew her gun.

The passersby were startled, but before they could react, several seemingly ordinary passersby rushed out and, with lightning speed, pinned down several of their accomplices who were trying to make a move in the distance, and quickly dragged them away from the scene. Their actions were clean and efficient, as if they had never been there.

Zhou Feng stared at Bai Ling in disbelief.

He had initially thought this girl was just a clerical worker at the Municipal Public Security Bureau; who would have thought she was so skilled and even had a gun!

The "Number One Assassin of Beiping," with a gun pointed at him, felt the cold touch of metal on his forehead, and his calves started to cramp.

He originally just wanted to lead his brothers to rob some grain. Recently, everyone in the alley was talking about that "big fat sheep" in Nanluoguxiang. He thought he could scare him and get some food in return. Who the hell would have thought that he would run into such a tough nut to crack?

Normally, if you get into a fight and someone carries a kitchen knife or a fork, you're considered a tough character. But this woman actually pulled out a gun?

Is he out shopping or on a mission?

He glanced around nervously, his heart sinking even further.

The brothers he brought with him have vanished without a trace!

But this guy's reckless spirit remained, and he stubbornly held on, even with a gun pointed at his forehead, a ferocious smile still appeared on his lips.

"Bro...buddy, sis! I was blind today, I kicked a hornet's nest! I admit defeat! From now on, my brother and I will avoid any place you two frequent, we won't dare to get in your way, okay?"

In present-day Beiping, it's not uncommon for people to dare to brandish knives in the street, especially this group of people who frequently get into fights with gangs from other streets.

But those who dare to brandish guns in the street are either government officials or military personnel, and they are not people the government officials can afford to mess with!

You can mess with the kids from the compound, but try letting them mess with the elders in the compound.

Even if they had three lives, they wouldn't dare to get involved.

Bai Ling ignored his admission of weakness and subconsciously looked at Zhou Feng, taking his attitude as the standard.

Zhou Feng was also keeping an eye on Bai Ling.

This kind of robbery is a crime, and Bai Ling is a member of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, so she should be the one to handle it.

The guy with the gun pointed at him was panting heavily and swallowing hard, but neither of the two people in front of him showed any intention of making a move!

Under mounting psychological pressure, he finally snapped, "No way! Can't you just give me a straight answer?! Do whatever you want with me! What's the point of leaving me standing here like a wooden pole?"

No one can stand being held at gunpoint for more than a minute.

At worst, one shot will kill you, or you'll get another beating, or at worst you'll be sent to jail. This constant uncertainty is just too damn torturous!

Just then, two middle-aged men in Zhongshan suits came running from the street corner, panting heavily.

The one in the lead was none other than Director Sun, who was in charge of this area.

His head was about to explode.

Previously, during a meeting, the higher-ups repeatedly emphasized that Comrade Zhou Feng from Nanluoguxiang was a patriotic person who had returned from abroad and was an absolute key person to be protected. He played a vital role in the construction of the Dragon Kingdom. Without violating their authority and regulations, they must fully cooperate and ensure his safety.

But didn't this ancestor live in Nanluoguxiang?

How did I end up in his territory and get into trouble?!

If only things happened in Nanluoguxiang, then it wouldn't concern him at all.

His mind was a complete mess, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest and ran over in two steps at a time.

Even if you don't know the other party's specific identity, the serious attitude of your superiors during the meeting is enough to say everything!

He can't even tell now whether the sweat on his head is from sweating or from cold sweat!

If you handle this kind of thing well, you might not get any credit, but if you don't handle it well, forget about climbing the ladder in the future, it's uncertain whether you can even sit securely in your current position.

So when he learned that Zhou Feng had gotten into trouble in his area, he was terrified!

As a result, when he saw what was happening in the distance, he no longer felt panicked; he died instantly, his mind filled with despair.

Comrade Bai Ling, who was transferred from the Municipal Bureau to specifically protect Zhou Feng, actually pulled out a gun!

Looking at the guy across from them, he was a habitual offender from their area, carrying a triangular scraper.

It's no exaggeration to say that Director Sun was now completely stunned, and he really had the urge to skin that guy alive!

In his area, things had gotten so bad!

This is going to kill him!

"Uncle Sun, I've met my match today. I admit defeat! You can arrest me now!"

The man who had been held at gunpoint breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Director Sun appear.

For someone like him, going to the police station is a regular occurrence, and he's become quite familiar with the local police officers there.

Compared to a complete stranger like Bai Ling, Director Sun clearly gave him some confidence.

However, this time he robbed a tough opponent and was caught red-handed, so his fate is probably not much better.

Director Sun, who had just arrived, hadn't even caught his breath or uttered a word when the other person called him "Uncle Sun," which completely stunned him!

"Shut up!"

Chief Sun, his face ashen, pointed at the man's nose, his voice trembling: "I'm just your neighbor from the same alley, who the hell is your uncle?!"

"Zhou... Comrade Bai Ling, this guy is just an ordinary neighbor of mine. I really don't know him. All the comrades in our institute can vouch for me!"

He instinctively wanted to say Zhou Feng's name, but then he remembered what his superiors had said: to protect this Comrade Zhou Feng without his knowledge. So he quickly changed his mind.

Bai Ling was almost startled by this guy's slip of the tongue, but luckily he corrected himself quickly, so nothing went wrong.

"Comrade Bai Ling, this incident happened in our area, and I bear an unshirkable responsibility for the poor management of public security."

"I sincerely apologize to both of you and assure you that I will handle this matter seriously and give you both a satisfactory explanation!"

Director Sun was half-bent over, his forehead covered in sweat, and in his heart he had already cursed the guy opposite him for eighteen generations!
