Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

The main house door was kicked open, followed immediately by the bedroom door.

Lin Weidong turned his head and saw Bai Ling rush in with her eyes shining, pick him up and kiss him.

He kissed her until she was breathless. When Lin Weidong called for her to get on the kang (a heated brick bed), Bai Ling rolled her eyes coquettishly and ran away again.

She wasn't there to seduce Lin Weidong; she was simply too excited to vent her feelings after noticing the changes in her body as soon as she regained consciousness.

Before she even washed up in the morning, she noticed that her breath smelled fresh, her skin felt smooth and soft to the touch, and her hair was black and shiny with no more hair loss problems...

Beyond the apparent changes, I feel even more clear-headed and clear-thinking. The fatigue from last night's hard work has long since disappeared, and a continuous surge of energy flows from my heart to every part of my body...

Just noticing these things had already broadened Bai Ling's understanding, but she had a feeling that there was much more to come.

The mystery surrounding it was incomprehensible to her, and she was so excited that she could only vent her frustrations to Lin Weidong.

After breakfast, when she saw Lin Weidong off, she whispered some instructions to him when Hao Pingchuan wasn't looking.

Come home early after get off work!

Bai Ling's bright, suggestive gaze momentarily made Lin Weidong feel somewhat dazed.

But when Lin Weidong's mind swept over a large number of bottles and jars of "Ten-in-One Tonic Pills," his confidence instantly returned.

I almost forgot, he's a man with cheat codes now, and he has so many tonics. He's completely different from his previous life!

"You'll be begging for mercy!"

Lin Weidong left with a single sentence, pushing his cart out the door.

Inside the courtyard, thick white smoke curled from the chimneys of each household, rising into the air.

At the main gate, Liu Haizhong paced back and forth. When he saw Lin Weidong, his face broke into a smile, and he offered him a cigarette.

"Xiao Lin, Wei Dong! I have something to tell you, could you help me think about it?"

"Tell me about it." Lin Weidong glanced at the status bar above the other person's head and saw that the status entry showed "excited," which piqued his interest.

Old Liu invited him for drinks last night, but he didn't go. Instead of being discouraged, he's excited today.

Liu Haizhong first looked around cautiously before leaning close to Lin Weidong and whispering.

"Hey! You know what? I'm telling you, but don't tell anyone! I've discovered a spy!"

Lin Weidong raised an eyebrow, puzzled. How could it be so fast?

It's only been one night. The enemy agents probably don't even know the details or have a mission yet. How could they possibly be discovered?

Lin Weidong had a vague feeling that... Liu Haizhong was up to something.

I support it immediately!

"Great news, Mr. Liu! Why don't you just call the police?"

"No, no, no! Xiao Lin, listen to me. This time, we don't need to call the police. I can handle it myself. I just wanted to ask you, was that job assigned to you after we caught the enemy spy? Tell me the truth, brother!"

"Master Liu, that's true in terms of timing, but actually, my work has absolutely nothing to do with catching enemy spies. Please don't misunderstand!"

"I understand! Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense! Once I become a cadre, I'll definitely take care of you, don't worry!"

Liu Haizhong nodded with a smile; Lin Weidong's words were enough.

He had his own logic and believed he knew Lin Weidong well enough to know that Lin Weidong would not give anyone grounds for criticism. The more he said that, the more the truth would be the opposite!

After Lin Haizhong left, Hao Pingchuan threw away his cigarette butt, looking constipated, and looked at Lin Weidong as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He heard Liu Haizhong's words clearly and understood them perfectly, but he couldn't understand this person at all.

Putting aside whether catching an enemy agent will result in a job assignment, the way you act as if it's your right to take care of Lin Weidong... aren't you taking yourself too seriously?

While smoking, Lin Weidong had already scanned the area around the front gate, but found nothing.

He increasingly felt that the enemy agent Liu Haizhong was talking about was not the enemy agent he understood. Coupled with Liu Haizhong's face full of excitement and confidence, as if he could handle it with ease... Could it be someone in this courtyard?

Hey! That's going to be interesting! Old Liu, I'm rooting for you!

As he stepped on the pedals and started moving, Lin Weidong offered a word of comfort to Hao Pingchuan.

"Let's go first. Anyway, someone's watching him. If they find an enemy agent, it'll be a good thing."

"That's true!" Hao Pingchuan nodded in agreement, recalling the bureau's arrangements.

It was rare to find someone like Lin Weidong willing to cooperate with the entrapment operation, so they were naturally fully prepared.

In the courtyard where Lin Weidong lived, people like Liu Haizhong, who were unruly, Yan Bugui, who loved to take advantage of others, and Yi Zhonghai, who had conflicts with Lin Weidong, were all key targets for surveillance.

They were waiting for enemy agents to gather information or to use them in their actions.

From the military control commission to the local police stations, and down to the community security activists in every street and alley, countless eyes are watching.

As long as we thwart the enemy's retaliatory actions, we can firmly establish Lin Weidong as a model of anti-espionage, and in the future, more and more people will actively cooperate.

Lin Weidong was aware of these arrangements and was not worried about his safety.

Unless the enemy agents were incredibly capable and could bring in artillery to bombard him, he couldn't imagine what danger he might be in.

Even if he were bombarded by artillery, the danger he spoke of was merely how to explain it in the open, not that he feared enemy agents would harm him.

He continued to go to work as usual, doing his job normally, as if nothing had happened.

His calm demeanor earned him the genuine admiration of those who followed him, especially his colleagues in the department.

People who work in government agencies are usually very perceptive, and most of them can figure out what's going on as soon as they see the newspaper.

But few people would envy or be jealous of this opportunity, since it's risking one's life for a better future, and it's the crudest and most obvious way to do so.

It's practically an open secret that they're waiting for him to be killed!

Currently, enemy agents still primarily use assassination to create chaos, targeting anyone with influence, from top leaders to grassroots model workers.

Leaders have their own level of security, and even some people in the cultural and educational fields have their own means of self-protection.

Even with protective arrangements, the workload of grassroots model workers like Lin Weidong can't be that high.

They are all employees of the system, and they know the rules and regulations inside and out. In their view, the effort and the reward are not proportional at all. Besides, what will happen if they lose their lives?

Most people believed that the best outcome for Lin Weidong was to be injured.

Therefore, when faced with Lin Weidong's calm and composed demeanor, everyone could only feel admiration.

Lin Weidong didn't smoke a single cigarette all morning. There are still loose cigarettes from his colleagues on his table. Chang Wan even threw him a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes before the study session.

You can't possibly finish smoking them all.

Meanwhile, everyone in the bureau who had read the newspaper treated Lin Weidong exceptionally well.

People greet him wherever he goes.

At lunchtime in the cafeteria, Lin Weidong enjoyed celebrity-like treatment.

However, their strange gazes made them seem more like they had come to pay their respects to the hero's remains ahead of time...

This caused Lin Weidong great distress. He seemed to have underestimated the degree to which people of this era had a fondness for role models and a reverence for heroism.

That day, Lin Weidong, who had received special care, left work on time.

Upon leaving the house, Lin Weidong met up with Hao Pingchuan, who was waiting in the guard room. As usual, Lin Weidong scanned the area to check the labels on the passersby.

No other findings have been made yet. According to the bureau leadership's analysis, it will take at least one to two weeks.

Right now, those enemy agents are probably gathering and analyzing intelligence.

After arriving home, Hao Pingchuan rode away again; his team still had other tasks to finish.

Lin Weidong's understanding of the plot of "Glorious Era" was similar to that of Hu Tong; he only knew a few famous main characters and didn't pay much attention to their affairs.

He also had his own mission, which was to deal with the arrogant Bai Ling!
