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

"Zhou Feng, Zhou Feng, are you home?"

The next morning, Bai Ling, who had been thinking about it all night without any clue, went straight to the courtyard they had arranged for Zhou Feng.

After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response from inside. After calling out several times, no one came out.

Just as she was wondering whether she should go find the comrades who were keeping watch around her to find out what was going on, she suddenly felt someone tap her on the shoulder.

"Comrade Bai Ling!"

In an instant, she reflexively grabbed the person's wrist, pulling it towards her body, ready to execute a swift grappling technique, but then heard a familiar wail: "Ouch! Let...let go!"

Zhou Feng was grimacing and bent over, his wrists twisted behind his back, gasping for breath in pain.

He just saw Bai Ling standing there and instinctively wanted to tease her. Who would dare to hit this woman so hard!

"You're really quick on your feet! I even got up early to help you get revenge!"

Zhou Feng rubbed his reddened wrist, glared at her irritably, and, under Bai Ling's somewhat puzzled gaze, dragged her toward the state-run restaurant they had visited the day before.

"Oh my! Aren't these the two young masters and ladies from yesterday?"

As soon as the two entered the store, they heard that familiar, shrill voice from yesterday.

Sister Wang was pretending to wipe the table with a rag when she saw the two of them. Her eyes drooped and she pursed her lips as she came over.

"What's wrong? Didn't get any food yesterday, so you're here to show off your bourgeois extravagance again?"

Zhou Feng completely ignored her words. After leading Bai Ling to sit down, he casually ordered her, "Fried eggs, two bowls of porridge."

After saying that, he got up and prepared to go to the cashier to pay.

"Huh? You..."

Before Sister Wang could say anything more, Zhou Feng suddenly turned around to look at her and raised his voice: "Comrade, is this restaurant your private property? Can you decide not to let customers order food?"

This shout left Sister Wang speechless, and the cashier behind the counter quickly gave her a meaningful look.

Today's situation is different from yesterday's. The director is sitting in the back office, so we can't afford to cause any major trouble!

"Okay! Okay! Go pay, and we'll serve you the food according to your meal vouchers!"

Sister Wang gritted her teeth and said a sentence through gritted teeth.

If the lobby of this state-run restaurant weren't so large, where everyone's every move could be seen, Zhou Feng really wouldn't have trusted this woman to serve them food!

And even now, he still doesn't understand where they got this woman. She treats them like enemies, so bitter and sarcastic!

But since a conflict had already broken out between the two sides, and she still maintained this attitude, Zhou Feng lost all remaining hesitation.

Everything that happened in a moment was the woman's own fault, and he wouldn't feel any guilt whatsoever!

He is kind because of his upbringing, but he is definitely not someone who takes a beating, at least not someone who suffers this kind of inexplicable humiliation!

After paying at the cashier, Zhou Feng returned to his seat with the meal voucher. Bai Ling couldn't help but lean closer and whisper, "What are you up to? Why did you drag me here to be humiliated so early in the morning?"

Zhou Feng shook his head mysteriously, then reached out his hand, but froze halfway through.

He subconsciously wanted to pat Bai Ling's hand, but suddenly remembered that such a gesture was inappropriate in this era. So he could only stiffly bend his fingers in mid-air and pretend to tap the table lightly.

"Comrade Bai Ling, just you wait and see! Let the dust settle... People will come knocking on my door soon enough. You just need to testify that I have connections with patriotic overseas Chinese in the United States!"

At this point, Zhou Feng's lips curled up slightly.

Previously, in order to prevent Bai Ling from being punished for drawing her gun, he had specially brought out that advanced agricultural technology.

Therefore, he had given his prior endorsement in this regard, and given Bai Ling's trust in him, it would certainly not be a problem for her to testify.

As expected, Bai Ling nodded without any hesitation.

Given Zhou Feng's status, as long as he doesn't do anything illegal or disorderly, she will definitely cooperate with him.

However, she felt somewhat uneasy.

Before she usually meets with Zhou Feng, the expert team will analyze his thoughts and intentions in advance.

But for this morning's scene, the experts didn't offer any suggestions or guesses, and they didn't know how Zhou Feng would "vent her anger."

This left her completely baffled, and naturally, she felt uneasy.
