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

A smug smile appeared on Zhou Feng's face. After following Li Huaide into the office, he raised both arms and pulled Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e into his arms, grinning at them.

As the only friend in the world who shares his tastes, how could Zhou Feng possibly miss the opportunity to show off with him?

"Alright, alright, Brother Zhou, I'm convinced!"

Li Huaide said this without any sign of reluctance.

Having met Bai Ling a few times, he could already tell that she was definitely not someone to be trifled with, and her temper was probably not much worse than his wife's.

Zhou Feng has tamed him into this state; he's incredibly powerful!

"Why don't you tell me, do you have any special tricks up your sleeve?"

Li Huaide lowered his voice and moved closer to Zhou Feng.

Not to mention the one at home, even Liu Lan would occasionally throw a little tantrum at him, unlike the two people around Zhou Feng, who were so well-behaved!

Lou Zhenhua's daughter, didn't everyone who had met her say that she had a spoiled princess attitude?

When Liu Haizhong came to him to report the incident, he said a lot of bad things about Lou Xiao'e.

Look how obedient they are!

Although Li Huaide didn't explain his question very clearly, everyone present understood his meaning.

Qin Jingru's eyes darted around, looking at Zhou Feng's profile with some curiosity, wanting to hear what tricks he had up his sleeve to deal with Sister Bai Ling.

If I say something wrong, she'll go back and complain!

Zhou Feng raised an eyebrow and smiled dismissively: "What do you mean by 'absolutely no secret moves'? The husband is the head of the household, we men are not afraid of our wives, are we? Brother Li, are you scared?"

The question made Li Huaide's facial muscles twitch a few times. He then opened his mouth somewhat reluctantly, forcing a smile: "I...I...of course I'm not afraid! It's just that at home, your sister-in-law and I respect each other, and I certainly respect her very much."

"Okay, okay, I understand!"

Seeing the wicked grin on Zhou Feng's face, Li Huaide's lips twitched incessantly, but he managed to maintain his smile.

As long as nothing is explicitly stated, it's a matter of mutual respect. Whether you're afraid or not, it's all love!

"Let's not talk about that. What brings you here today? I'll take care of it for you."

Feeling that Zhou Feng had tricked him, Li Huaide immediately changed the subject, and Zhou Feng nodded: "Brother Li, I'm here to catch you in the act today."

???

Li Huaide's eyes widened instantly.

Catching a adulterer? Catching a adulterer at the steel mill?

His first thought was, "Wait a minute, I've never heard of any relationship between Liu Lan and Zhou Feng. Why are they here catching us in the act?"

Seeing Li Huaide's expression turn incredibly strange, Zhou Feng rolled his eyes at him, annoyed: "What are you thinking? Of course I didn't capture you!"

Li Huaide finally breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled twice: "Brother, you've misunderstood me. What could I possibly be thinking? I was just wondering, who are you here to arrest?"

"Of course, it's about arresting Xu Damao, and that widow Qin from our compound. Yesterday, he tried to seduce her with meat, saying he was going to take care of her at the factory. That's why I came to check it out."

Hearing Zhou Feng's words, Li Huaide stared at him for several seconds, his expression slowly changing from surprise to strangeness.

Good heavens, he'd seen plenty of people coming to the steel mill to cause trouble—some to settle scores, some to file complaints—but this was the first time he'd ever seen someone trying to catch someone cheating.

Moreover, Zhou Feng even brought Xu Damao's ex-wife to catch them in the act of adultery, which was truly groundbreaking!

However, since Zhou Feng treats Xu Damao this way, Xu Damao's status in the factory will have to be adjusted in the future.

He used to employ Xu Damao because he was easy to work with, capable and good at handling things.

But now, it's better to sever ties as soon as possible and get him removed from his position.

"Brother Zhou, count me in. As a member of the steel rolling mill, I absolutely cannot allow Xu Damao to do such things on the factory premises!"

Seeing Li Huaide's indignant expression, Zhou Feng nodded and casually leaned back in his chair: "We haven't witnessed this ourselves, so we can't say for sure. I already asked Comrade Jianguo to keep an eye out for it; he'll let me know if there are any problems. We need to catch the thief red-handed, and the adulterer caught red-handed!"

Li Huaide nodded thoughtfully. It would be best if Zhou Feng's people could take action.

"Brother Zhou Feng, my sister..."

Seeing Zhou Feng and Li Huaide start chatting again, Qin Jingru anxiously stretched out two fingers and carefully tugged at Zhou Feng's sleeve.

"Don't worry, your sister is working in the workshop right now. Even if Xu Damao is ruthless, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the workshop. The only time he could make a move is during his lunch break."

"Yes, yes, why don't we wait in the small canteen and have lunch there?"

Li Huaide readily extended an invitation, but Zhou Feng shook his head.

If you're here to catch someone cheating, you should act like you're catching someone cheating.

He's in Li Huaide's office; it'd be better to just go and arrest him directly later.

If he wanders around the factory and Xu Damao sees him, maybe that guy will change his mind.

After waiting for a while, the group finally reached the workers' lunch break time. Not long after, Tie Jianguo's voice came through Zhou Feng's Bluetooth headset.

"Let's go! Let's catch them!"

Upon hearing Zhou Feng's order, everyone in the office except Lou Xiao'e showed excited expressions and ran towards the cafeteria.

Li Huaide also specially called two security guards, partly to prevent Xu Damao from acting desperately, and partly to confirm Xu Damao's actions so that he could be punished however he was asked.

As the group walked to the entrance of the canteen, they saw Tie Jianguo, who had come to meet them, in the distance. They were then led to the door of an abandoned warehouse, where they could faintly hear sounds coming from inside.

"What are you waiting for? Open the door!"

Zhou Feng gave Tie Jianguo a wink, and the latter stepped forward, stood on one leg, and kicked the somewhat rusty door with his other leg.

The hinges of the door were already loose, and under Tie Jianguo's immense force, the entire iron door collapsed with a crash, revealing two people piled up inside!

"Holy shit!"

Xu Damao was originally in high spirits, but he was so startled by the loud noise that he involuntarily shrank back.

Qin Huairu, who was lying in front, screamed and grabbed the clothes she was lying on and pulled them on. With her other hand, she instantly pulled up her pants.

"Xu Damao! What are you doing?!"

Seeing Xu Damao frozen in shock, Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e turned away, and Li Huaide quickly roared.

It's tiny, what are you doing wandering around there?
