Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

What Chen Yang said was true, but from beginning to end he was just using tricks to increase his presence.

But what if you weren't an enemy agent... what about all my credit?

All those days of work for nothing? And all we caught was a nobody?

Thick smoke billowed from his nostrils, obscuring Lin Weidong's displeased gaze.

"So I'm leaving now? Aren't you going to give me any pointers?"

"I have overestimated myself; I dare not speak presumptuously before you!"

Chen Yang replied solemnly, unsure why Lin Weidong harbored such strong hostility and distrust towards him.

But since things have come to this point, it's best to avoid contact.

"You're quite decisive. I'm suddenly intrigued. How about this: didn't you say I was going to suffer some bloodshed? Were those two your disciples? Shall we have them protect me for a while? I'll see what they're capable of first."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang struggled internally.

How could Lin Weidong change his attitude so suddenly... He had already made up his mind not to have any contact with him, but he gave him another chance?

Although the outcome remained the same, after the conversation and exchange just now, he concluded that Lin Weidong was not a good leader. He was unpredictable and had a strong sense of purpose. It would be better for him to work on his own than to follow Lin Weidong!

"Old Chen, I gave you a chance. How can you expect me to believe you like this? If you continue like this, I'll have to settle accounts with you. Tell me, how many years should I be imprisoned for deliberately showing off these past few days, trying to corrupt a young state cadre like me?"

No way!? Even if a deal falls through, we can still be on good terms! Why are you reporting me?

Chen Yang looked up in disbelief, his defenses crumbling.

How do we resolve this situation? Should we let his apprentice handle it? But he's already determined to clear his name; wouldn't that ruin everything?

Reality urged Chen Yang to make a choice quickly.

"Alright! Yuan Qian and Yuan Yi, you two forest rangers, go on your way!"

Lin Weidong stopped talking nonsense and pushed his cart away, heading towards the direction where someone was lying in ambush.

Chen Yang seems like a smart and capable person, but your two apprentices are clearly not!

Let's do the credit for Lao Tzu first.

Lin Weidong walked quickly, giving Chen Yang no chance to instruct his apprentice, so Chen Yuanqian and Chen Yuanyi quickly caught up.

Three hundred meters passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Weidong stopped and spoke before the target could back down.

"What are you two doing, sticking to me like wooden stakes? Is this how you protect someone? Alright, get lost! Go back and tell your master to stop showing off those cheap tricks and being so cunning! Get out, get out!"

"You!" Chen Yuanqian, Chen Yuanyi, was so angry that his face turned red.

Chen Yuanyi clenched his fists and stared at Lin Weidong, wanting to teach him a lesson, but Chen Yuanqian held his arm and whispered a reminder in his ear.

"Let's go! Don't cause trouble for Master! He's just unlucky to look down on us; someone will take care of him!"

Lin Weidong, with his sharp ears and eyes, heard his words clearly and thought to himself, "You and your master are definitely going to be in jail this time!"

He pretended to know nothing, and slowly rode his bicycle forward, covering only half of the fifty steps.

Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang!

A series of gunshots shattered the normal atmosphere of the street.

Pedestrians panicked, covering their heads and screaming as they ran around in all directions, looking for a place to hide.

Chen Yuanqian and Chen Yuanyi hurriedly turned around to look at Lin Weidong.

He was lying on his side on the street, one hand supporting him on the ground and the other holding a gun, opposite him.

A figure holding a gun... fell heavily to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a voice shouted, "Lie down and don't move, police!" from behind.

The two men turned around and saw a young man wearing ordinary cotton clothes, but he had a gun in his hand, so they obediently lay down.

At the entrance of Zhimei Building.

Chen Yang knew something was wrong when he heard the gunshot.

He looked into the distance and saw his apprentice being pinned to the ground in the panicked street.

However, the two were still quite a distance from Lin Weidong, who had collapsed to the ground.

He thought to himself, "It's all over!"

"Hands up!" The next moment, someone pressed a gun against his waist from behind.

Chen Yang dared not disobey and obediently did as he was told, cursing his two good-for-nothing disciples in his heart.

Damn it, why did they stop just a few steps away? If they had protected him, wouldn't they have gotten all the credit?

Chen Liang ran quickly from the other side of the street to check on Lin Weidong's condition as soon as possible.

Behind him were other comrades who had rushed over as soon as they received the news.

"I'm fine, go and maintain order!"

Lin Weidong interrupted Chen Liang's actions in a low voice, urging him to hurry up and perform.

Chen Liang obeyed and turned around, shouting towards the crowd.

"Don't panic, everyone! The enemy agents are under control! There's no danger!"

"Don't panic, everyone! The enemy agents are under control! There's no danger!"

……

He raised both hands high and waved repeatedly in a loud voice.

The police officers then spoke up together, gradually calming the panicked crowd who were trying to escape.

By the time the leaders from the nearby police station arrived, Chen Liang and his men had already taken perfect control of the scene.

Apart from one armed enemy agent who was shot and killed on the spot by Lin Weidong, there were no other casualties. Although the crowd was panicked, there was no chaos.

Upon inspection, it was found that the enemy agents fired two shots. The first shot hit Lin Weidong in the chest but was blocked by a steel plate inside his cotton-padded coat. The second shot hit the bicycle.

In addition, Jin Lu and Yan Qishan, the field police officers who were protecting Lin Weidong, respectively took control of three other enemy agents.

Chen Yang and the other two were formally charged on the spot and escorted back to the detention center.

He didn't refute or defend himself; in his mind, the whisper of the policeman in his ear was still echoing.

The operation was thus concluded perfectly.

Amidst enthusiastic applause and cheers from the surrounding crowd, the group retreated.

A new round of harvest is just around the corner.

Police station interrogation room.

Bai Ling, one of the planners of the operation and the person in charge of the interrogation, and the leaders of the criminal investigation department of the police station were on high alert.

Before the officers from the branch office and the municipal office arrived, they were to conduct the first round of interrogation of Chen Yang and the other two.

Detention cell.

Police officers were handcuffing and shackled Chen Yang, but he seemed oblivious, his mind preoccupied with a struggle between heaven and man.

Just then, a hand appeared on my shoulder, and a whisper sounded in my ear.

"Chen Yang, we already know your identity, and you can't clear your name, but you can atone for your crimes by doing good deeds. Tell us as much as you know; the more you say, the greater your contribution! People will see your abilities!"

Someone will see your abilities...

Those words sound so familiar, I've heard them for the second time... Is this a special reminder for him?

Chen Yang stared blankly, his heart churning with turmoil. He swallowed hard and responded in a low voice.

"good!"

The large hand on his shoulder relaxed, and Chen Yang was led into the interrogation room.

After a brief inquiry into his identity, Chen Yang steeled himself and began to confess.

"Reporting to the government! I confess, I was a secret agent dispatched by Guo Dang to Beijing. Before liberation, I received a coded telegram. Last September, I received another coded telegram with instructions to create chaos and information about support supplies. But I only took the supplies and never carried out any further missions or caused any chaos, really!"

"Go on! What is your mission?"

"Yes! Their task for me was to use Taoist ideology to control the masses and cause chaos. I didn't want to do it, so I took in a few more disciples to make it look like a big plan. I reported to them that I was secretly preparing a big plan. They even sent me a secret telegram awarding me a medal."

Chen Yang gave a sheepish laugh as he said this, and Bai Ling and the other woman gestured for him to continue.

"Last month, my superior was suddenly killed, and there was no one to supervise me or know my identity. So I planned to leave the organization. Just this Tuesday, I received a mission to assassinate Comrade Lin Weidong. I was prepared to take this opportunity to get close to him and try to advance my career in his favor. Who knew..."

"You're lying! You invited Comrade Lin Weidong to dinner, and he was assassinated in the street the very next day! And you still dare to deny it?"
