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

Bai Ling turned her gaze to Zhou Feng, waiting for him to make a statement, but the latter remained silent, his lips pursed.

To be honest, the police station definitely bears responsibility for this incident, as evidenced by the familiar way the thug addressed Chief Sun.

But what can we do about it?

Zhou Feng considered himself just an ordinary citizen. Because of a robber, the head of a school had been bowing and scraping and apologizing for a long time. How could he possibly be so unreasonable?

Moreover, it's hard to say whether this attitude is directed at him or at Bai Ling from the Municipal Bureau who is standing next to him.

Although Bai Ling pulled out a gun for him, he didn't feel he had the right to boss a police station chief around.

"Zhou Feng, you're the one directly involved in this matter. What do you think is the appropriate way to handle it?"

Bai Ling nudged Zhou Feng lightly with her elbow.

He's keeping quiet here, and no one else dares to make decisions for him!

"Hey, I don't know anything about these things! You guys handle it! Thanks, Director Sun."

Zhou Feng smiled, waved casually, and looked at Director Sun: "Comrade Bai Ling and I... do we still need to go back to the station with you to give our statements?"

"No need! Absolutely not! You two have been frightened; it's important that you go back and rest! We can handle things here!"

Before the sweat on Director Sun's forehead had even dried, he hurriedly said that they could leave.

The most difficult part of this matter actually lies in the three words "we'll see" that Zhou Feng mentioned.

Since Zhou Feng said such a thing, they had to determine the appropriate level of punishment themselves. However, Director Sun had already tacitly agreed and decided to give him the maximum penalty possible!

It wouldn't have been proper for Zhou Feng and the other person to leave directly, but under Bai Ling's murderous glare, he didn't dare say a word.

Anyway, there are plenty of officers on duty around, so I can just ask them for a detailed report afterward!

Watching Zhou Feng and Bai Ling turn and leave, Director Sun finally breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve.

The bodyguards disguised as passersby quietly followed, and this time everyone was on high alert.

They had been living in peace for too long, which made them less vigilant about their surroundings, leading to such a big blunder.

Although the matter has been resolved, everyone's face looks as if it's covered in a layer of dust.

This is a complete dereliction of duty by the entire group. Everyone will definitely be criticized and have to write self-criticisms when they get back. No wonder they're in a bad mood!

The two comrades who remained looked at the cocky thug with eyes so cold they could kill.

After working so hard for so many days, I can forget about getting any credit, and I'm afraid I'll get punished too. It's all because of this bastard!

On the way back to the courtyard house, the atmosphere between the two was completely different from when they left.

Having just experienced the thrilling scene, Zhou Feng's initial awkwardness towards Bai Ling had lessened considerably, after all, she had just saved his life.

It's best to avoid using his ability to travel directly between worlds in front of others!

On the contrary, Bai Ling felt a gaze constantly sweeping over her.

People in their line of work are naturally very sensitive to the gazes cast their way, let alone Zhou Feng's blatant sneaky glances!

"Comrade Zhou Feng!"

Bai Ling finally stopped and turned around, looking at him with a hint of helplessness: "Is there... something you need?"

"Um... Comrade Bai Ling, that gun you're carrying on your hip... could you... could you..."

Zhou Feng stammered for a long time without fully explaining "can or cannot," but Bai Ling roughly understood what he meant.

"Would you like to see my gun?"

Bai Ling raised an eyebrow at Zhou Feng.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Feng's head started nodding frantically like a chicken pecking at rice, and his eyes brightened considerably.

"Just look! Just look! You can keep it, I promise I won't touch it! Just enjoy the view! Is that okay?"

Those were real guns!

Which man could resist such temptation?

If it weren't for the robbery he and Bai Ling had just experienced, Zhou Feng wouldn't have dared to bring it up.

"No!"

Without a second thought, Bai Ling immediately refused.

It's not that the gun is particularly valuable, but firearms are too dangerous. If it were to accidentally discharge and injure Zhou Feng, the consequences would be dire.

"Oh... okay..."

Zhou Feng's excitement vanished instantly, his eyes dimmed, and he gave a dejected reply.

Seeing his visibly depressed mood, Bai Ling felt a little uneasy.

It seems that the Dragon Kingdom in later generations has achieved great success in gun control, otherwise Zhou Feng would not be so interested in an old pistol from decades ago.

This is a good thing!

But seeing that the other person's mood was getting worse and worse, Bai Ling could only sigh inwardly.

Although the robbery was handled reasonably well, it's hard to guarantee that it won't give Zhou Feng a negative view of this era.

His request isn't actually that unreasonable. If we grant it, it might bring us closer and ease his emotions.

After all, guns weren't exactly rare items in this day and age.

"Alright, alright, I can show you."

Bai Ling compromised, her tone tinged with a hint of helplessness.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Feng seemed to have been fully revived. He turned around with wide eyes and reached for her waist!

"What are you doing!"

Bai Ling blushed, nimbly dodging An Lushan's claw, glaring at him irritably, and deftly drawing her sidearm.

Zhou Feng immediately raised his hands as if by reflex and swallowed hard.

"Comrade Bai... Comrade Bai Ling, I just wanted to get the gun, I didn't... I didn't mean anything else!"

Bai Ling glared at Zhou Feng, annoyed. "Even if I were to show you, I'd have to get the bullet out first! What's the rush?"

As she spoke, she skillfully removed the magazine, pulled the bolt to check the gun, and made sure the chamber was empty before handing the heavy pistol to Zhou Feng.

Then she saw a young man in his early twenties, as excited as a child who had just received a new toy.

Zhou Feng's hands trembled slightly when he took the gun. He held it in his hands eagerly, his eyes shining, and his smile stretched almost to his ears!

He kept assuming various shooting positions, aiming at everything he could reach, except people…

"Be careful, don't point the gun at people!"

"Just take a look, give it back now. It'll look bad if someone sees it!"

"You have so many amazing things from America, what's the big deal about this little pistol?"

Hearing Bai Ling's slightly dismissive words, Zhou Feng paused in his gestures, a hint of unease flashing across his face. He then forced a nonchalant attitude and casually handed the pistol back to her.

"What I want isn't a pistol, but weapons made in our own Dragon Country!"

"You think I've never handled a gun? Hah, that's a joke!"

"You know the M416 assault rifle? I've fired tons of bullets from that thing!"

"I use the M416, so it has to be fully equipped! Different situations require different configurations!"

"For close-range spraying, you need a compensator, an angled grip, a red dot sight, and a tactical stock—that makes it incredibly stable!"

"For mid-to-long-range burst fire, you'll need to switch from an angled grip to a vertical grip and a 4x scope—then you'll be able to hit exactly where you point!"

"If you want to play dirty... cough cough, I mean, you want to operate covertly, then you'll need a silencer, a half-grip, and preferably a 6x scope, manually set to 3x magnification! That feeling... tsk tsk!"

"You're saying I've never handled a gun before? Ha...that's a huge joke!"

Zhou Feng's string of unfamiliar terms—M416, compensator, angled grip, red dot, tactical stock—completely baffled Bai Ling.

These equipment names, which she had never heard of before, really sounded like things from the future.

But seeing Zhou Feng's obviously fierce but weak expression, which was just forcing himself to put on a brave face, a trace of doubt rose in her heart.

"Where did you use that...M416 assault rifle?"

"Peace... Sigh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. That place, even if I told you, you still wouldn't find it!"
