Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

It was late, and Tian Zao, half asleep, mumbled a reply.

It wasn't until I woke up the next day that I realized what had happened, and I sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) in a daze for several minutes.

He kept thinking, what if the girl Lin Weidong brought back was difficult to get along with?

Should I show her my boss-like authority and give her a hard time?

After practicing for a while, Tian Zao realized that the image in the mirror was exactly the same as the one she used to use when scolding Da Yong and the others, without any change.

She doesn't look like a first wife at all... more like a gang leader.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, especially of Lin Weidong, Tian Zao secretly cursed herself for being so useless and quickly abandoned the thought.

……

In the morning, Lin Weidong pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard house and went to work.

At the intersection, the person monitoring Lin Weidong was replaced by a man with a goatee.

Hao Pingchuan knew this person; it was the one who had been in contact with Liu Haizhong.

However, Hao Pingchuan did not have a cheat like the Eye of Truth; he was only suspicious and wary, but did not take the initiative to act.

But Lin Weidong saw a different situation through the Eye of Truth.

[Identity: Chen Yang (Taoist of the Nine Palaces Sect)]

[Status: Thinking/Analysis]

[Affection: Neutral/Following]

Lin Weidong passed by him without encountering any danger, and the other party did not intend to make a move, and even showed a certain degree of goodwill towards him.

This is not just a simple enemy agent, but also a member of a feudal remnant organization with other plans.

Lin Weidong had long known that his high-profile cooperation with the public security organs in their propaganda efforts would attract more than just one enemy intelligence organization.

It doesn't matter how many, as long as they come, the more the better.

Hao Pingchuan dropped Lin Weidong off at the entrance of his workplace, then rode his bicycle to the bureau himself.

Upon arriving at the destination, first report the situation to Zheng Chaoyang.

"Okay, as long as he hasn't been exposed, we can keep an eye on him for now." On Zheng Chaoyang's desk was a stack of messy documents that he had clearly flipped through several times; they were all Zheng Chaoshan's.

Zheng Chaoyang hoped to find some evidence from it that could prove Zheng Chaoshan had made contributions to the organization.

But after flipping through it several times, he found that Zheng Zhaoshan was involved in every case or had been present at the scene.

Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences, and Zheng Chaoyang, as the head of the interrogation team, knew all too well what this meant.

My heart grew heavier and more conflicted.

Around 10 a.m., Cui Bashan, who had been transferred from another region, attended an organizational meeting and officially joined the company, where he was confirmed to serve as the head of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Criminal Investigation Department.

Afterwards, Director Luo Yong personally led him to the temporary interrogation team, introduced him to Zheng Chaoyang and others, and explained that Cui Bashan would serve as the deputy team leader, familiarizing himself with the work and supervising the progress of the entire interrogation team's tasks.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zheng Chaoyang let out a long breath and was the first to clap his hands in welcome.

He understood the organization's considerations, was grateful for the organization's trust, and became even more determined in his beliefs.

In terms of rank, Cui Bashan was the highest-ranking member of the entire temporary interrogation team, second only to the bureau chief. Moreover, the head of the investigation section was Zheng Chaoyang's direct superior.

Having his superior appoint him as the deputy team leader truly moved Zheng Chaoyang, demonstrating both respect and a strong sense of responsibility.

After a brief introduction, Cui Bashan started a group meeting right there in the group office.

Zheng Chaoyang gave a concise and brief report on the current progress of the task.

Cui Bashan affirmed and supported the idea after listening, but raised a small question.

"So, Comrade Hao Pingchuan is in charge of the entire interrogation team's operations?"

"Yes, Section Chief! Comrade Hao Pingchuan is the captain of the action team, and he is in charge of most of the field operations."

"Then why did you send him to participate in other operations? Aren't you treating our Comrade Hao Pingchuan like a beast of burden?"

Hao Pingchuan chuckled sheepishly upon hearing this, scratched his head, and was about to say that it was nothing when Cui Bashan spoke again.

"A person's energy is limited, especially for someone like Comrade Hao Pingchuan, who is already in danger while working on the front lines of fieldwork. It's really... In that case, let's transfer Comrade Hao Pingchuan back to take charge of the investigation team's work in Taoyuan!"

"Section Chief, this... previously... was because the mission to investigate the Taoyuan task force had reached a stalemate, which is why Comrade Hao Pingchuan was sent there."

Zheng Chaoyang carefully chose his words to explain. Now that the investigation had made a major breakthrough, he naturally wanted to bring his old partner back, but he couldn't let his guard down with Lin Weidong either!

He thought for a moment and then added.

"However, cooperating with Comrade Lin Weidong's entrapment operation was a task personally assigned by Director Luo. His side is also in considerable danger, so we probably can't afford to lose any personnel."

"We have so many people in our branch bureaus and police stations, we can't just take advantage of Comrade Hao Pingchuan! Since I'm in charge of the investigation department, I'm naturally responsible for your safety. I'll personally report this to Director Luo and discuss it. You guys get back to work!"

"Yes, Section Chief!"

Cui Bashan's words deeply moved the members of the interrogation team.

Hao Pingchuan was even more so. Unlike Bai Ling, who spent all her time at the radio station, he was constantly running back and forth between the two places. It would be a lie to say he wasn't tired.

In the afternoon, Jin Lu and a field copier from the 20th Police Station in Dongcheng District, who worked near Lin Weidong's workplace, received a protection assignment.

When the message was transmitted to Lin Weidong via the system space, he lit a cigarette.

As the smoke rose, Lin Weidong felt relaxed all over.

He had previously oversimplified things, thinking that having connections was enough, but he was in a systemic environment, not out there acting as a thug and taking over territory.

Having people isn't enough; you also need people above you. Only through cooperation between superiors and subordinates can you fully utilize your abilities.

Similarly, Yi Zhonghai also experienced the convenience of having connections.

After giving the workshop supervisor a pack of cigarettes, Yi Zhonghai left work early. He walked quickly and saw a handcart parked on the side of the gate as soon as he stepped out.

"Hey bro, you're here! Thanks for your help today!" Yi Zhonghai walked up to him, greeted him with a big smile, and offered him a cigarette.

"Hey! Don't be so polite. We're in the same boat, so it's natural to be closer. Besides, this is what I do for a living, so what's the trouble? Shall we go?"

"Let's go!"

With a cigarette dangling from his lips, Liu Erquan pulled the cart and reported to Yi Zhonghai, who was standing nearby.

"I've already gotten you five jin of pork. Is that enough? It's under the bedding. We should be able to find the rest if we look around a bit more."

"That's enough! We already have radishes, potatoes, and cabbage at home. Let's see if we can find a live chicken or duck, and maybe buy some vermicelli and dried goods. That should be about it."

"If you ask me, Brother Yi, you're a good person in every way, except you're too kind. You even treated everyone in the courtyard to a feast. These two tables of food and drinks cost more than 20 yuan each. It's a complete waste!"

"Sigh... It's good to spend a little money to improve relationships with neighbors."

"Tch~ Only you, Brother Yi, could pull this off. If it were me, I'd just fight them, what's there to be afraid of? I could easily call over a bunch of brothers and take them down!"

"Erquan, you're doing pretty well, aren't you?"

Yi Zhonghai couldn't tell whether Liu Erquan was bragging or not, but since Liu Erquan was helping him now, Yi Zhonghai naturally flattered him.

"Hey! What's this? We're all street vendors, helping each other out. I'm not bragging to you, but getting people to help out is a piece of cake. I even know someone who carries this!"

Liu Erquan nodded and gestured with his pistol towards Yi Zhonghai.
