Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine

Just like that, Wang Haoran and Mr. Lin sat there quietly like two sculptures, and the whole room was filled with a suffocating atmosphere of silence. Time seemed to have frozen, and no one knew how much time had passed.

Finally, Wang Haoran raised his hand slightly, glanced at the exquisite watch on his wrist, and then cast his gaze on Mr. Lin, who had a troubled look on his face and a frown on his brows.

He slowly stretched out his right hand, his movements were so gentle that almost no sound was made, and he took out a few bottles of spiritual spring water emitting a faint spiritual aura from the system space, and gently placed them on the antique wooden table.

After doing all this, Wang Haoran stood up without hesitation and turned to walk towards the door. As he walked, he said loudly without looking back: "I'll leave the things here for you. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to protect me well!"

Hearing these words, Mr. Lin's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something in response. However, when his eyes followed Wang Haoran's unrestrained and uninhibited figure walking away, all the words on his lips seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them.

He knew in his heart that the reason Wang Haoran said this was simply because he didn't want to see him in pain while making a difficult decision.

In fact, Mr. Lin knew very well that if this news was accidentally leaked, even if he was in a high position of power, he might not be able to ensure that Wang Haoran would be safe.

Although Mr. Lin holds an important position in the officialdom and seems to be in a prosperous position, he also has numerous political opponents who are eyeing him covetously. Many times, even he himself often feels powerless!

However, at this moment, the situation has changed dramatically because of this item. Although there is a potential risk of leaking confidential information, it can indeed win over many allies.

Thinking of this, Mr. Lin's heart was like experiencing a fierce storm. After a hard struggle, he finally made an extremely difficult decision.

Then he quickly arranged the vehicle and rushed towards the mysterious and solemn red wall.

That night, the first level of combat readiness was activated directly inside the red wall. All entrances and exits were tightly blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.

When the country's top officials learned that the first level of combat readiness had been activated inside and outside the red walls, they seemed to smell something unusual, and immediately went to find people to inquire. They asked from many sources, but in the end they did not get any useful information. They only heard that the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders laughed heartily in the meeting office that night, and then started crying while laughing.

No one knew when the person involved, Mr. Lin, left the red walls, and even if they knew, no one would pay attention. After all, for someone of Mr. Lin's level, it was normal for him to enter and leave the red walls.

At the same time, Wang Haoran was unaware of all this. When he handed the important item to Mr. Lin, he had already prepared for the worst.

At this moment, he was running towards the steel mill in a panic, because the mill was about to close, and if he was late, he would probably be scolded and blamed again.

Wang Haoran ran all the way, his bicycle almost smoked, but he did not dare to slack off. Finally, when the bell rang, he successfully arrived at the gate of the steel mill.

Wang Haoran was so exhausted that he couldn't even catch his breath. At this moment, he suddenly saw Li Ling and Wang Xinya slowly walking out of the factory.

"Oh, isn't this Section Chief Wang? You finally came back! Look at how disheveled you are. You've been out for a whole day! You are so careless that you just left Xiaoya, such a well-behaved sister, alone in the factory without caring about her!" When Li Ling saw Wang Haoran's dusty and exhausted appearance, she couldn't help but start to criticize him in a sarcastic tone.

Anyone could easily hear the deep resentment and dissatisfaction in her sarcastic tone.

That's right. Just now, Li Ling spent a lot of effort to finally help Wang Haoran deal with those annoying peach blossom disasters. As a result, just when she finished her work, Wang Haoran disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he was gone from morning to night. Anyone would probably be sulking in their heart.

Hearing Li Ling's sarcastic complaints, Wang Haoran quickly explained with a smile: "Oh, it's really not my fault! You know I do have urgent matters to deal with. After I finished the things at hand, the first thing I thought of was you to help me out. So I went out to buy you some fruit. You know it's not easy to buy, and that's why I've been delayed until now." As he spoke, Wang Haoran quickly handed the heavy bag of fruit in his hand to Li Ling.

Li Ling took the bag with some doubt, and glanced inside. She saw all kinds of colorful, fresh and juicy fruits crowded together, emitting bursts of tempting fruity aroma.

She couldn't help but look up and looked at Wang Haoran with a slightly puzzled look, and asked uncertainly: "These... are all bought for me?" Just as she asked this question, the resentment that was originally in Li Ling's heart seemed to dissipate most of it.

Seeing this, Wang Haoran quickly seized the opportunity and said while the iron was hot: "It must be bought specially for you. Apart from you, who else is worthy of my personal effort?" As he spoke, he smiled ingratiatingly.

Hearing this, the corners of Li Ling's mouth slightly raised, outlining a beautiful arc. She said coquettishly: "Humph, since you are so sincere, I will forgive you this time. But don't do it again, otherwise..." At this point, Li Ling suddenly paused, with a hint of danger flashing in her eyes, as if warning Wang Hao that the consequences would be serious.

Upon seeing this, Wang Haoran hurriedly patted his chest and assured solemnly: "Don't worry, I absolutely promise that there won't be a next time!" Seeing Wang Haoran so sincere and anxious, Li Ling's dissatisfaction in her heart immediately dissipated for the most part, and she no longer continued to worry about this matter.

Wang Haoran was relieved to see that Li Ling finally stopped pursuing the matter. He couldn't help but think proudly, "Hey, luckily I prepared in advance when I came back, otherwise this level would be really hard to pass. He is simply a genius."

Just when Wang Haoran was immersed in his own cleverness and feeling complacent, he suddenly heard Li Ling's crisp voice: "Let's go!"

"Go? Where to?" Wang Haoran was confused by this sudden question, so he asked anxiously.

"Where else can we go? Are you going to eat? Look at the way you look now, I guess you haven't even had dinner yet!" Li Ling's eyes, full of pity and love, fell directly on Wang Haoran.

Hearing this, Wang Haoran suddenly slapped his head as if awakened from a dream. Oh! That's right, I was busy drinking tea and chatting all day today, and even forgot about lunch.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but muttered quietly: "Not only dinner, I didn't even have a bite of lunch."

Li Ling, who was walking in front, heard Wang Haoran's mumbling behind her. She stopped and turned around, urging him impatiently, "What are you mumbling about there? Stop dawdling, hurry up!"

Being urged by Li Ling, Wang Haoran quickly responded: "Nothing, nothing, I'm here now... Come on, let's go eat." As he said that, he quickened his pace and followed Li Ling closely.

···········

In the courtyard, night fell quietly, and the soft moonlight fell on the ground, like a layer of silver yarn. Wang Haoran rode his bicycle and took Wang Xinya back to the courtyard.

When they just stepped into the front yard, a cold and desolate atmosphere hit them. Wang Haoran was stunned by the scene in front of him. The yard was empty, without a single person, and it was so quiet that he could hear even the sound of the wind. He even wondered if he had walked into the wrong place, so he stopped and looked around repeatedly.

"This... is this really the yard where we live? Why do I feel like I've come to the wrong place?" Wang Haoran said with a puzzled look on his face.

Wang Xinya also looked around. She shook her head and said, "It should be correct, brother. Take a closer look."

Wang Haoran carefully observed the surroundings again, and after confirming that everything was correct, he frowned and muttered to himself, "I am indeed in the right place, but where are all the people? Although Yan Laokou is no longer guarding the door after I dealt with him, the front yard shouldn't be so deserted at this time on weekdays. Could it be that everyone has gone out?"

While thinking about it, Wang Haoran pulled Wang Xinya to continue walking towards the backyard. When they reached the middle yard, a noisy sound suddenly came into their ears. The sound came one after another, as if someone was arguing fiercely.
