Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

Taiwan is known as the Treasure Island, but it is actually a Yin-Yang Island.

Why do I say that? Because most of the cities and residents of the Bay Island live in the west of the island.

The east side of the island is basically continuous mountains and endless jungles, almost uninhabited, just like the dark side of the moon.

On the east side of the entire island, there is only one city that can be named, Taitung.

It’s three o’clock in the afternoon, when the sun is at its hottest.

A lifeboat was swaying on the deserted beach near Tomioka Fishing Port. Several sturdy men who were obviously not fishermen jumped onto the shore nimbly.

"Boss Zhou, if we don't hurry up and work, why come to Taitung?"

Du Weiguo asked with a dark face. After being on the boat for ten hours, his patience was about to run out. Finally, Fatty Zhou took him ashore.

"Hey~" Fatty Zhou smiled as meanly as ever, making people want to punch him in the fat face.

"Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Besides, brother, our work cannot be seen in the light, so we can't start working in the daytime.

Besides, it is impossible to catch hundreds of tons of seafood in one night. Recently, we have to stay in Taitung City during the day."

Although this reason was far-fetched, it was reasonable. In order to find out the specific location of the shipwreck, Du Weiguo could only bite his nose and bear it, and continue to act with him.

"Okay." He nodded helplessly: "You are the boss, you have the final say."

"Hahaha~ That's right, now that we are here, we should make the best of it."

Fatty Zhou patted his shoulder vigorously and said jokingly with a smile:
"Brother, are you thinking about that beautiful girlfriend who is in the hospital? You are going to be a billionaire soon, what kind of woman can't you find?"

He suddenly changed the subject and a lewd expression appeared on his fat face that all men understand.

"Brother, don't be fooled by the fact that Taitung is a shabby place with few people, but it has special products."

"The Amis tribe in the mountains here are famous for their beauties. The nickname of Amis girls is mermaids. I will show you some of them later."

Taitung City is very small, with only a few tens of thousands of people, but the scenery surrounded by mountains and the sea is particularly beautiful.

Fatty Zhou seemed to have a lot of connections in Taitung. As soon as he and Du Weiguo turned onto the main road, several luxury cars came to meet them.

Then the convoy took them directly to Beisinan Mountain, where there was a very quiet and luxurious villa at the foot of the mountain.

When Du Weiguo and his friends entered the room, they saw a middle-aged man with a small mustache lazily leaning on a large leather sofa in the spacious living room.

This guy was wearing a brightly colored floral shirt with his chest open. His side-parted hair was shiny and greasy as if it had been licked by a calf. He also had a pair of brown crystal glasses on his nose. He looked like a real old ruffian.

"Hahaha!"

This guy seemed to be from the same school as Fatty Zhou. When he saw everyone, he suddenly became cheerful:
"Tingdong, you are here. Did you have a smooth journey? This little brother is your new underwater expert. Hmm, he looks very good. Not bad."

Tingdong, this resounding name is the nickname of Fatty Zhou.

"Brother Chaoxian, his name is Haonan, he comes from the north, and his underwater skills are amazing."

It can be seen that Fatty Zhou is extremely respectful to this old ruffian named Brother Chaoxian. It may not be appropriate to say respect, it should be called awe, as awe is greater than respect.

"Oh, from the north?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Xian put his hands behind his back, slowly walked to Du Weiguo, adjusted his glasses, and looked him up and down.

"Haonan, what a nice name. Are you from the north? A water ghost? Or a frogman?"

"Frogman." Du Weiguo replied concisely, his tone was very calm, and there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

Brother Chaoxian smiled indifferently and said:

"Frogmen? The *** Battalion in Kinmen? The *** Battalion in Shishi? Or the *** Frogman Brigade in Pingtan?"

This guy seemed to be very familiar with the military deployment and troop conditions across the sea. He asked for the numbers of three frogman units in one breath.

Du Weiguo's pupils shrank slightly, and then his eyes turned cold, and his tone became hard:
"Brother Chaoxian, right? Since you are so awesome and powerful, just go check it out yourself."

There was a strong provocation in his words. Chao Xian Ge's smile froze. A cold light suddenly flashed in his narrow eyes under the lenses, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

Fatty Zhou nervously tugged at Du Weiguo's sleeve and tried to smooth things over:
"Brother Chaoxian, don't bother with him. Haonan is still young, so he is hot-tempered~"

"Hey~" Before he could finish, Brother Chaoxian started laughing again and gave Du Weiguo a thumbs up.

"It's good to be young and energetic! Only with great energy can you accomplish great things. Haonan, you have personality. You are worthy of being from the north. You are so brave. I like you."

"Heh~" Du Weiguo also curled his lips with a forced smile.

"Thank you, Brother Chaoxian, for your appreciation."

"Hahaha~ easy to say, easy to say."

Brother Chaoxian smiled widely and put his arms around Du Weiguo's neck. Due to his lack of height, the posture looked a little funny.

"Brother Haonan, since you are in my territory, I must treat you well today and guarantee that you will be able to open your eyes."

Later, through a private conversation with Fatty Zhou, Du Weiguo learned the identity of this Brother Chaoxian.

His name is Gu Chaoxian, a Taitung councilor and police chief.

Gu Chaoxian was originally the chief of the Intelligence Department of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Later, for some unknown reason he committed a crime in Taipei, he was demoted to Taitung, where he remained for ten years.

However, this guy has a lot of connections and great power. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is all-powerful. At the same time, he is also the umbrella behind Fatty Zhou.

Things are accomplished through secrecy, and Fatty Zhou is well aware of this principle.

However, his every move could not be hidden from the powerful Gu Chaoxian, let alone the fact that hundreds of tons of gold were salvaged right under his nose.

It was for this reason that he confessed to Du Weiguo the true value of the Musashi, because he was just a passing rich man.

Obviously, Du Weiguo's previous speculation that Fatty Zhou was trying to swallow an elephant was wrong.

Now, he wanted to steal the treasure of the Musashi, and there was one more person, Gu Chaoxian, on his kill list. This guy had a higher status than Fatty Zhou and was more difficult to deal with.

Apart from anything else, this villa in the mountains, although seemingly peaceful, is actually filled with murderous intent.

There were more than a dozen gunmen hiding inside and outside the villa, and it was obvious that they were not rogue soldiers, but elite soldiers in the army.

They are the kind that have seen blood and fought in wars, and there are even snipers, and more than one.

However, these changes did not really matter to Du Weiguo. It was nothing more than killing a few more people. He was already familiar with this kind of thing and had become numb to it.

Gu Chaoxian did not break his promise. When it was completely dark and dinner started, he really opened Du Weiguo's eyes.

The dinner was Japanese seafood cuisine, with all kinds of raw fish, sashimi, and sushi. All the seafood was freshly caught today, and was full of life. Of course, if it was just that, it would not be enough to open Du Weiguo's eyes.

He has now tasted and seen it.

The focus is not on the ingredients, but on the rare tableware and cooking utensils, and the trays of sashimi and sushi, all of which are served by pretty-faced, delicate-skinned Amis girls.

What’s even more amazing is that even the chopping board used to cut the sashimi is made of the delicate body of a young girl.

The sharp willow-blade knife kept flashing with cold light, flying and jumping on the almost delicate white skin, cutting the fish meat into transparent slices as thin as cicada wings, but without hurting the skin at all.

The process does look thrilling and pleasing to the eye, revealing a strange and cruel beauty.

Even Du Weiguo couldn't help but marvel at the chef's superb knife skills.

He is not a martial artist, nor a person with special abilities; practice makes perfect.

"Come, brother Haonan, try this piece of fat."

"This is the most delicious part of the bluefin tuna. From a bluefin tuna weighing several hundred kilograms, only two kilograms of frost can be cut out. Only experienced masters can cut it out."

Gu Chaoxian is a man who knows how to eat and knows how to eat.

With skillful movements, he picked up a piece of pink fish meat that was trembling like jelly from the girl's red lips, placed it on Du Weiguo's plate, and made a gesture of invitation.

The fish meat in the girl's mouth was taken away, and the girl, who existed as a "plate", suddenly opened her eyes. Her big black and white eyes looked at Du Weiguo with watery eyes.

This is the unspoken rule of the human banquet. The piece of meat in the mouth is the king of meat. Whoever the host gives it to will be the VIP she entertains tonight.

However, Du Weiguo ignored her glances and stuffed the fish into his mouth like a cow chewing a peony and swallowed it without much chewing.

"Well, it tastes really good, fat and tender, but the portion is a little small, not enough to fill me up."

Seeing him behave so rudely, a hint of imperceptible contempt immediately appeared in Gu Chaoxian's eyes.

But he is also an old actor, his expression remained unchanged, and he even raised the wine glass and raised it towards Du Weiguo.

"Haha, brother Haonan is indeed a hero. I like people like you, you are genuine and heroic. Come, let's drink."

This special and lively dinner lasted for more than three hours and ended only when the moon was at its highest point in the sky.

However, no one was drunk, and no one even touched the charming "tableware". Everyone deliberately remained rational and sober.

Du Weiguo knew clearly in his mind that he was about to face a "diving test". If he failed to pass it, he would most likely not survive the night.

The other people at the table were the examiners. This "trial" was related to their wealth and glory in the next life. They were very nervous, so how could they be in the mood to drink?
It was approaching midnight. The sea area a few kilometers away from the Fugang Fishing Port was a deep water area with a sea nest underneath, at least a hundred meters deep, and perhaps even deeper.

"Puff~"

On the fishing boat, Fatty Zhou raised his hand and threw an arm-sized fish plate into the inky black sea. He turned to look at Du Weiguo and said with a smile:

"Brother Haonan, it's time to show me your true abilities before you do anything big.

You also heard what Brother Chaoxian promised just now. As long as you are genuine, he will pay you a deposit of $50 first."

"Oh, I understand."

Du Weiguo sneered and nodded, then reached into his trouser pocket, took out the gold-plated carved lighter that Fatty Zhou had given him, and rubbed it gently.

"But you guys are looking down on me. Anyone can find such a big plate. How can it show my ability? Come on, change this."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stuffed the lighter into Fatty Zhou's hand.

"Brother, are you sure?" Fatty Zhou was surprised and happy.

Although he is not a water ghost, he is quite knowledgeable. At night, he wants to find and retrieve a lighter from the bottom of the sea a hundred meters deep.

This difficulty is more than twice as great as scooping out the fish on a plate; it is simply an impossible task.

Du Wei took off his coat and pretended to move his body, while saying in a nonchalant and joking tone:

"Don't take on a job without the right tools. Brother, do you think I, Chen Haonan, can ask you for 2000 million just because I have a lot of money? Let's get started!"

Seeing that he was so confident, Fatty Zhou became excited:
"Okay, brother, you are awesome. If you can really fish it out, I will give you an extra 50 commission."

After saying that, he threw the lighter in his hand into the sea with force.

"Ding~" Du Weiguo lit a cigarette and handed it to him, saying in an extremely pretentious and calm tone:

"Help me hold it for a minute, I'll come back and smoke it."

Before he finished his words, he dived into the water and disappeared in an instant.

Du Weiguo's muscle and bone density is now comparable to that of metal, which is much higher than that of ordinary people. It is also far higher than the specific gravity of water. He does not need any counterweights at all and can sink quickly.

In fact, it was extremely difficult for Du Weiguo to stay suspended in the water. Fighting in water had become his weakness, even his fatal weakness.

Fortunately, he has the ability to teleport, which can fully make up for this weakness.

"Wow~"

In just three minutes, Du Weiguo jumped out of the water like a big fish. He swung his hand, and with a bang, the carved lighter hit Fatty Zhou's feet.

"Fuck, fuck!"

After picking up the lighter and confirming that it was the one he had just thrown down, Fatty Zhou even lost the ability to organize his words.

Du Weiguo swiftly climbed onto the boat, and under Fatty Zhou's astonished gaze, he snatched the half-smoked cigarette, put it in his mouth, and took a deep puff.

"Whoo~"

Exhaling the smoke, he shook off the water stains on his hair in a very casual manner and said in a deep voice:
"Tsk, I'm getting older, and my skills have declined a bit. I only have half a cigarette left."

In a word, he was so cool that Fatty Zhou and the others almost fell to their knees. To be honest, he hadn't acted so cool in a long time.

At this moment, Du Weiguo is the undisputed king of pretense.

King's Hospital, Intensive Care Unit, London.

Reina, who was lying on the hospital bed, was awakened by the sound of the door being pushed open hastily. Her first reaction was to subconsciously reach for the pistol under her pillow.

However, when she saw that the person coming was Mr. J, she suddenly stopped and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Boss, what happened? Why are you back? You look so anxious?"

Mr. J didn't waste any time and directly handed her a survey report:
"Reina, something happened to Pandora. Someone used the Times to pass on a mission to her." (End of this chapter)
