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

Song Wenyuan quickly straightened his clothes.

Two figures walked in from outside the door.

Sun Yue, dressed in a navy blue Lenin suit, walked in front, with Bai Ling following behind him.

Sun Yue casually placed his teacup on the table, glanced at Song Wenyuan, and then cleared his throat: "Comrade Song Wenyuan, is that right? I am Sun Yue from the Special Operations Department, and this is Bai Ling. We invited you here today because we need to discuss some issues with you."

Bai Ling didn't speak, but her expression wasn't pleasant.

She has already married Zhou Feng, and the two are now family.

It would be strange if she gave Song Wenyuan a friendly look when the other party went to the street office to investigate Zhou Feng.

Song Wenyuan frowned slightly, but showed no sign of panic. He simply raised his chin slightly and said, "Comrades, I am a secretary from the General Office of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. I am on official business today. It seems improper for you to send someone to bring me here like this."

"Whether it's in accordance with the rules or not isn't up to you to decide, it's up to us. Comrade Song Wenyuan, let me remind you, if you maintain this attitude, Minister Xu might not be able to protect you. Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Sun Yue, the director of the Special Operations Division."

Faced with Song Wenyuan's attitude, Sun Yue also showed a hint of disdain.

When Zhou Feng got married, Sha Zhu came over and caused trouble, so he brought up Minister Xu. Even their own leader didn't tolerate the other party.

Now this secretary who took it upon himself to investigate Zhou Feng is using Minister Xu as a shield...

According to what Sun Yue knew, Minister Xu was not having a good time and had now taken a stand against Zhou Feng.

Tsk tsk tsk, those two are determined to kill Xu Bu before they're satisfied!

Song Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and dared not say anything more.

The head of the Special Operations Division is not someone a mere secretary like him can easily mess with.

"Tell me, what did you do at the neighborhood committee office today? What was your purpose? Who sent you there?"

Seeing that the guy had corrected his attitude, Sun Yue asked him a few questions seriously.

Song Wenyuan was silent for a few seconds: "I went to the subdistrict office to inquire about the whereabouts of Comrade He Yuzhu, who lives in No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. He promised to cook for my wife, but he hasn't done it yet. My wife asked me to go and ask about the situation."

"He Yuzhu? Secretary Song, is He Yuzhu the only one?"

"There's also... there's a comrade named Zhou Feng. This morning, when I went to the courtyard at number 95, I heard from an old man in the courtyard that He Yuzhu had been arrested by a comrade named Zhou Feng and his men. I can't find He Yuzhu, so I wanted to find out who this Zhou Feng is."

"An old man in the courtyard?"

Bai Ling looked up at Song Wenyuan, who nodded: "He's a slightly overweight older man wearing glasses."

"Bangs in the middle!"

Hearing Bai Ling grit her teeth and utter the name, Sun Yue nodded and gestured behind him.

The two comrades still standing at the door immediately understood and walked outside, clearly sending someone to find Liu Haizhong.

Song Wenyuan keenly sensed this and his heart immediately tightened.

It seems he's really met his match this time. Comrade Zhou Feng's identity is definitely not simple. Just by mentioning his name, the Special Operations Division is already going to arrest him!

Sun Yue looked at Bai Ling, indicating that it was up to her to decide whether to continue questioning.

Based on his experience, he could naturally tell that Song Wenyuan's words contained no concealment or lies.

But Bai Ling sitting here represents Zhou Feng's attitude. If the other party doesn't make it clear, he can't just close the case directly.

Bai Ling pursed her lips, looked at Song Wenyuan, and asked, "You only wanted to find He Yuzhu's whereabouts today, and only because you couldn't find him did you go to investigate Zhou Feng because of Liu Haizhong's guidance, right?"

"Yes, before this, I didn't even know that Comrade Zhou Feng lived in the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang."

Faced with the Special Operations Division's attitude, Song Wenyuan showed no intention of resisting and answered the questions honestly.

"Alright, Comrade Song, let me make this clear. He Yuzhu's case was handled by our Special Operations Division. He's been brought back by us for infringing on the reputation and honor of heroes. Moreover, his series of actions could even be classified as anti-government activities. Are you sure you still want to participate in this?"

Upon hearing Bai Ling's words, Song Wenyuan's heart skipped a beat, his back tensed up, and cold sweat instantly poured out.

This crime is far too serious; he simply cannot bear the burden of it!

Moreover, he now fully understood why he had been brought to the Special Operations Unit!

The fact that the Special Operations Unit attaches such importance to Comrade Zhou Feng means that his information must be highly classified!

"My lords, I was unaware of this matter beforehand. I was merely a secretary, acting on your instructions to go see Comrade He Yuzhu. I was misled about other matters as well, and I had absolutely no intention of offending you!"

Although Song Wenyuan managed to keep his expression steady, his slightly rapid breathing and the rise and fall of his chest still proved that he was in a very tense state.

Bai Ling stared at him for a few seconds before nodding and standing up. "That's enough for today. You can leave now. Your driver is waiting outside. When you get back, tell your superiors that the Special Operations Division has taken over He Yuzhu's case and there's no need for them to inquire about it anymore."

"Yes, I understand."

Song Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief, put away his work ID on the table, and then got up and walked out.

As he reached the door, Bai Ling's voice came from behind him: "By the way, Comrade Song, it's best not to mention today's events to anyone. This is for your own good."

Song Wenyuan paused for a moment, nodded slightly, and then quickly left.

Once he stepped out of the Special Operations Unit and into the familiar black sedan, he slumped back in his seat and let out a long sigh.

Not long after Song Wenyuan left, the phone rang suddenly at the high-ranking leader's home.

When the top leader answered the phone and heard the voice on the other end, his brow furrowed slightly, then quickly relaxed.

Minister He's voice came through the receiver, his tone very calm: "Old Xu, how have you been lately?"

"It's alright, just a bit of high blood pressure," the senior leader said with a smile. "What's up? Director He has time to call me today?"

Given Minister He's jurisdiction, nobody wants to receive a call from him unless there's a specific reason!

Minister He was silent for two or three seconds, then said, "Old Xu, we're all old comrades, so I'll be frank. I approved the arrest of Comrade He Yuzhu. I was also at the scene when he committed the crime, so it was handled according to the law, and all the procedures were in order. There's nothing more to say. Your men went to the street office today to check Comrade Zhou Feng's information, and we brought them back as well."

The high-ranking leader's smile slowly faded: "Looks like I've run into someone I can't afford to offend? How's Xiao Song doing now?"

"Nothing much, he's been released. Old Xu, I don't need to say much about your current situation. Just rest at home and enjoy life. As for some things, it's best not to get involved."

Although Minister He's tone was relatively polite, the warning he conveyed was quite clear.

Both were ministers, but the higher-up was clearly hesitant to act rashly. After a long silence, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "He Yuzhu isn't a bad person. I've had some contact with him. You shouldn't be too..."

"Old Xu! You should know that we have our own standards for doing things! That's all I have to say!"

Minister He interrupted him directly and hung up the phone.

He may be an old comrade-in-arms, but he has already warned him once. If the other party still wants to do something, then he shouldn't blame him.

The top leader sat in his chair, holding the now-silent receiver, and could only let out a long sigh.

Everyone has their own destiny. He's barely able to take care of himself right now, so he can't worry about much else!
