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

"What? Last night, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were stripped naked, tied up, and thrown into the factory?"

Zhou Feng had barely stepped into the steel rolling mill when Li Huaide invited him to his office.

After confirming that Zhou Feng was safe and sound, Li Huaide finally felt relieved and even had the mood to discuss the gossip in the factory with him.

"Of course!"

Li Huaide grinned, his eyes practically disappearing into his teeth, "This morning a group of female workers caught them naked, completely exposed! This spectacle is enough to keep the factory talking for half a year!"

Zhou Feng then nodded in realization.

No wonder the progress bar for the double penetration in my body is increasing rapidly. Two grown men have been stripped naked and tied together for women to watch. What kind of social scene is this?

Even if he racked his brains, he probably couldn't find a way that could generate more emotional value than this.

"Thank goodness you left early yesterday! If you had fallen for it too, I would have been utterly humiliated!"

Li Huaide breathed a long sigh of relief, still shaken. If Zhou Feng had been manipulated like that, he didn't know what kind of wrath that leader would have inflicted.

Zhou Feng felt a chill run down his spine as he listened; just imagining the scene gave him goosebumps.

"Come on, bro, I'll show you around the supply department. You'll be working there from now on!"

The two exchanged a smile, and Li Huaide patted Zhou Feng on the shoulder, preparing to personally take him to the supply department, which could be considered as him supporting Zhou Feng once again.

Zhou Feng nodded, slightly touched. "Thank you for your help, Brother Li."

Regardless of how Li Huaide is portrayed in the original work, at least for now, people treat him exceptionally well. Not only are their jobs arranged clearly, but they are also personally guiding him, practically paving the way for him with their own connections!

"Hey! Don't be so polite with me! We're like brothers, if you need anything at the factory, just mention my name!"

Li Huaide confidently patted his chest, but before he could even finish speaking, the two of them were proven wrong as soon as they reached the entrance of the supply office.

The head of security, along with several of his men, was squatting at the entrance with Sha Zhu and Xu Damao!

Upon seeing them approach, Sha Zhu, disregarding even the deputy factory director Li who was still standing nearby, pointed at Zhou Feng and shouted, "That's him! That's Zhou Feng! Quickly, subdue him!"

Xu Damao also stood up, his face full of hatred, his eyes red, as if he wanted to devour someone.

"What do you want?"

Li Huaide's face instantly darkened, and he stepped forward to protect Zhou Feng behind him.

His secretary reacted swiftly, stepping in front of Li Huaide and pointing at the security guards who were trying to surround him: "Are you all crazy? You dare to touch even Deputy Factory Director Li in the factory?"

"It's a misunderstanding! It's purely a misunderstanding!"

The security chief was so anxious he was stamping his feet, shoving his men back, yelling, "Back off! All of you back off! Can't you see Deputy Factory Director Li is here?"

Why haven't I seen these bastards so enthusiastic before? But after Sha Zhu yelled at them, they instinctively surrounded him.

No one noticed that the person standing opposite them was Deputy Factory Director Li!

Li Huaide naturally heard Sha Zhu's shouts and was so angry that his teeth itched.

"Hey, Sha Zhu, what are you yelling about? Who are you trying to arrest?"

"Him!"

At this moment, Sha Zhu didn't care whether the person opposite him was Deputy Factory Director Li or anyone else. He pointed at Zhou Feng and involuntarily started panting heavily.

"Xu Damao and I both fell for this last night, so why is he completely unscathed? I think he's the one behind this!!"

Xu Damao also moved forward, and these two rivals were surprisingly on the same side.

"Silly Zhu, are you two crazy? Stop biting people randomly! When I handed Brother Zhou over to you yesterday, he was so drunk, how could he possibly strip you two grown men naked and tie you up? Besides, you two... heh..."

Li Huaide snorted dismissively through his nostrils.

Given Zhou Feng's connections that allowed him to alarm that leader, and that they were deliberately stripped of their clothes, they didn't even deserve it.

"I don't care! We've both lost so much face, why should he be all unscathed?"

Sha Zhu stiffened his neck and glared fiercely at Zhou Feng.

After this incident, he didn't have any illusions. He knew that the news about those old women had probably spread throughout the entire factory!

Even the people in the courtyard will know by nightfall that this person has really lost face!

Regardless of the circumstances, Xu Damao was someone who lost face along with him, so there's nothing more to say about that.

But why is it that Zhou Feng is completely unharmed and can go to work peacefully today?

Xu Damao also shouted, "We must arrest him and take him back for questioning to find out what happened!"

Hearing the two men shouting, and considering this was the first time such a serious incident had occurred at the steel rolling mill, the head of the security department looked at Li Huaide with some difficulty: "Deputy Director Li, look at the mess this has made... how about we have this comrade come with us?"

"Why are you leaving!"

Li Huaide forcefully shielded Zhou Feng behind him.

"Comrade Zhou Feng was so drunk last night, I can testify to that! So just because they're in trouble, it's everyone else's fault too? Is your security department just going to listen to these two people's side of the story?"

Originally, the head of the security department belonged to Li Huaide's faction in the factory, but now that his own faction was targeting Zhou Feng, whom he had to curry favor with, Li Huaide had no choice but to take a firm stance and stand on Zhou Feng's side!

"Brother Li, thank you. Let me do it."

Zhou Feng patted Li Huaide on the shoulder from behind and calmly walked up to the head of the security department.

"Comrade, I was indeed quite drunk after dinner last night. I even passed out on the roadside halfway home. It was the officers from the Municipal Public Security Bureau who recognized me and took me home."

"When I was at the factory, Deputy Factory Director Li can testify for me. When I was on the road, that comrade from the Municipal Public Security Bureau can testify for me. If you insist that I am capable of such a thing, please provide evidence."

"You can't expect me to prove my innocence with just words, can you? If you can't handle it, call the police; I'll fully cooperate. But if it's a false accusation..."

Zhou Feng's gaze swept over the security guards and Sha Zhu and Xu Damao in front of him: "I also need to get an explanation! Of course, it's also possible that some people slept naked in the factory all night and their brains got cold, so I won't hold it against them this time."

Seeing that Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, with red eyes, still wanted to cause trouble, the head of the security department quickly ordered his men to stop them.

This matter is now a hot potato, and even he is helpless about it.

Judging from what Zhou Feng said, first he drank with the factory director, and then he was recognized by the comrades from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. All of this shows that this guy's connections are not ordinary. They are not someone they can easily mess with.

If Shazhu and his group had evidence, that would be fine, but now that they've been unconscious for two nights, how can their random accusations be considered evidence?

"So, do you have any evidence?"

Noticing that the others were speechless, Li Huaide added coldly, then dragged Zhou Feng toward the supply department.

This feud is now officially on. Whether it's Sha Zhu or Xu Damao, they dared to slap him in the face in public. They'll see what happens to them in the future!

"Let's go! This has nothing to do with Comrade Zhou Feng. If you have evidence, show it; if you don't, stop making a scene!"

The security guards also looked impatient.

This whole thing turned out awful; not only did we fail to find the bad guys, we also offended Deputy Factory Director Li. It's all those two's fault!

He's nothing but still offends people. He deserves to be stripped naked and left to dry overnight!

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao exchanged a glance, the former glaring and spitting indignantly.

"This isn't over! I'm going to find that old man!"
