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

"This is impossible!" Fatty Zhou repeated almost in despair.

Then, he suddenly grabbed the gold bar in his hand, put it into his mouth without any hesitation, and took a big bite.

"What's impossible?"

Du Weiguo did not stop him. He flipped his hand and suddenly a cigarette case and lighter appeared. He lit a cigarette slowly and glanced at him with a smile.

However, this round of his gorgeous magic show is bound to be a waste of expression.

At this moment, Fatty Zhou was holding the gold bar in both hands, staring at the tiny dents on it caused by his teeth without blinking, and didn't notice his little movements at all.

After a long time, after confirming that this was definitely not an illusion, Fatty Zhou raised his head frame by frame and looked at him in disbelief.

"You, how did you do that?"

Du Weiguo exhaled smoke and said jokingly:

"I fished it out by diving. Are you stupid? Didn't you just see me go into the water with your own eyes?"

"You lied to me!" Fatty Zhou screamed crazily.

While roaring, he suddenly stood up and reached out with his free hand to grab Du Weiguo. What was even more exaggerated was that he actually grabbed one of Du Weiguo's arms.

"270 meters. I have measured it over a dozen times. There is no way it is wrong!"

"You just went into the water without any equipment. You couldn't have dived that deep, let alone found gold. How did you do it?"

Fatty Zhou had no idea how outrageous what he was doing at the moment, but Du Weiguo was shocked.

"What the hell?" He looked at the fat hand on his arm in some surprise.

He really didn't expect that the vitality of this fat guy could be so tenacious, or in other words, his obsession was so strong that it could burst out with such amazing driving force.

You know, at this moment, almost all of his nerves below the waist were severed by Du Weiguo using high-precision surgical techniques.

In this situation, it is understandable that Fatty Zhou could still sit up, after all, his cervical vertebrae were not damaged.

However, he was able to stand up and even fall forward. This was incredible and a miracle in medical history.

"Puff~"

Just as Du Weiguo was puzzled, Fatty Zhou's lower limbs seemed to suddenly lose the support of a mysterious force and collapsed like mud.

"Tell me! Please, tell me!"

But he didn't care at all. He still held Du Weiguo tightly, his eyes bloodshot and roaring like a dying beast.

Du Weiguo frowned and shook his shoulders, and Fatty Zhou immediately fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing that his legs were completely unable to bear any strength and he could only crawl on the ground with his arms, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn, I was so scared. It seems that it was the adrenaline that was causing the problem. I have to say, this thing is really magical. It can turn decay into magic. I must study it carefully when I get the chance.

Du Weiguo rubbed his chin and thought to himself.

"Chen Haonan, tell me! Tell me quickly! Otherwise, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Fatty Zhou kept asking questions relentlessly. He crawled desperately, trying to grab Du Weiguo's ankle, but his movements and voice were obviously weak.

It looks like his last chance of success is coming to an end.

Seeing his crazy, half-human appearance, Du Weiguo felt a little pity for him and lost the mood to play around.

"Okay, I'll tell you." Du Weiguo kicked away his grabbing hand and said calmly:
"I am not an ordinary person. I am a person with special abilities. My physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. I can breathe underwater and can dive to a depth of 500 meters."

He made up a lie, but when Fatty Zhou heard it, he froze as if his acupoints were pressed.

"A person with special abilities?" His eyes were very complicated, with confusion, surprise, astonishment, and some relief.

With Fatty Zhou's level, it is difficult for him to come into contact with people with special abilities, but he is a member of the dark world after all, and has heard of this special group after all.

According to legend, people with special abilities possess all kinds of incredible and strange abilities. They can fly in the sky, hide in the ground, call the wind and rain, and are almost equivalent to earthly immortals.

"Yes, a person with special abilities." Du Weiguo slowly exhaled smoke, flicked the cigarette butt, and continued:

"Besides, I am not alone. Hong Kong will send a ship to pick me up. It is a 10,000-ton cargo ship. So, you don't have to worry about me not being able to transport the gold."

After hearing what he said, Fatty Zhou was stunned for more than ten seconds, and then he started laughing.

“Hehehe~hahaha~haha~haha~”

He first laughed miserably, then began to laugh loudly, and finally coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

As he coughed, his head suddenly tilted and he died very suddenly, but his blood-red eyes were wide open, as if he died with his eyes open.

Du Weiguo shattered Fatty Zhou's obsession with killing people and destroying their hearts.

Two generations spent decades of effort and scheming, but in the end they only made things difficult for others, and the spirit that supported him was completely shattered.

"Tsk, you really can't think straight." Du Weiguo gave his corpse a displeased look.

"Don't worry. I will sink you and this yacht into the sea later. At least you will die in a treasure trove. Besides, I will leave this gold bar for you to use as a heirloom. Go to your next life with peace of mind."

It was just a casual remark from him, but as soon as he finished speaking, a magical scene happened.

Fatty Zhou's wide-open bloodshot pupils slowly closed. Not only that, the ferocious expression on his face also became peaceful.

"Fuck! Is this true? Is it so weird?"

Du Weiguo raised his brows, thought for a moment, then retracted his hand that had already reached out to grab the gold bar, and muttered something mysterious.

"Damn it, you really want money even if you die. Fine, I'll leave the gold bars to you. I always keep my words, even if I die."

As a killer of thousands of people, Du Weiguo certainly does not believe in ghosts and gods.

When a person dies, it is like a light going out. In this dimension, there is no pure soul body that can transcend the physical body, at least there is certainly no such thing on Earth.

There are no ghosts in the world. This is a fact and there is no need to confirm it.

However, Du Weiguo was very deeply aware of Fatty Zhou's almost tangible obsession. After all, to put it bluntly, this unexpected fortune was also due to him.

Saying a few more words or throwing a gold bar would be considered a kickback to him. For Du Weiguo, it didn't matter at all. The main thing was that it gave him peace of mind.

After being in a daze for a while, the sky was already bright, and the morning sun dyed the boundless sea surface into a gorgeous light gold, which looked extremely spectacular.

Du Weiguo let out a long breath and scratched his half-dry hair in annoyance.

"Damn, this is a big project. I'm really destined to be a hard worker."

The battleship Musashi was indeed sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the amount of gold hidden in it was no less than that, but it was a hassle to salvage it.

Hundreds of tons of gold were melted into uniform gold bars and placed in several cabins. The problem was that after being soaked in seawater for decades, the wooden boxes that stored the gold bars had already completely decayed, and the gold bars were scattered everywhere.

However, Du Weiguo's system space can only store items through manual contact, so the scattered gold bars are undoubtedly a huge problem for him.

He had just roughly estimated that it would take at least several hours to pick up the gold. As for the various gemstones that were smaller in size and more difficult to collect, it would probably take at least half a day.

It’s really a happy trouble.

"Well, it's gold after all. We have to do it even if we don't want to!"

Du Weiguo complained, and before he finished his words, he disappeared without a trace.

In recent days, Du Weiguo has changed his appearance and made a fortune in Taiwan Island. The disturbances caused by him in other places have gradually subsided. After all, peace is the mainstream now.

First of all, the most worrying thing is naturally the confrontation between the US and Soviet fleets in the Caribbean Sea.

Although Citigroup's Atlantic Fleet had voluntarily surrendered and retreated to the Panama Canal, it had not yet left the Caribbean.

The Soviet Union's North Sea Fleet was stuck near Carriacou Island, constantly sending warships to patrol and cruise in the nearby sea.

However, since South America is too far away from the Russian homeland, most of the Beiyang Fleet's logistical supplies have recently been contracted by Guyana and Cuba.

Of course, it’s not free.

The situation with Cuba was relatively simple. Russia paid directly in rubles, while Guyana paid with weapons and equipment.

During this "Casablanca Crisis", the Russian bear chose to stand firmly on the side of Du Weiguo, and as a result, it successfully established its presence in South America and reaped unimaginable benefits.

Now, the two sides have become even closer, and the Russian bear has completely opened its arsenal to Guyana.

Not to mention the latest conventional weapons such as fighter jets, main battle tanks, armored vehicles, battleships, cruisers, and destroyers.

Now, even strategic-level weapons such as various types of missiles, nuclear-powered submarines, and even nuclear aircraft carriers and orbital satellites are becoming available.

To put it bluntly, everything can be bought and sold except pineapples.

What's more, the price is extremely fair. We basically make no profit, and we may even lose money.

Both Su Li and Guo Fu are severe sufferers of the fear of insufficient firepower, and Guyana's military resources are weak, so naturally they will accept all comers.

In recent days, Guyana has placed orders for arms worth more than 20 billion US dollars.

Anyway, the debt can be paid with materials and there is no need to pay real money. Guo Fu and the others said they felt no pressure at all.

As long as all these weapons are successfully delivered, Guyana's comprehensive military strength will at least rise to the top 15 in the world.

Citigroup has also been very busy recently as the general election was officially postponed for one term, setting a precedent since the founding of the country. In other words, the current President Johnson was re-elected without any effort.

Such an absurd ending shocked everyone.
No matter how surprised outsiders are, Johnson has now returned to the White House in high spirits, and even the vice president has miraculously "recovered" and resumed work.

Only Secretary of State Forbes resigned voluntarily and left the center in disgrace.

In this game with the Russian bear, Citigroup suffered a heavy loss. Someone has to take the blame, right?

The first thing President Johnson did after returning to office was to initiate a dialogue with Brezhnev, the leader of the Soviet Union.

He was very sincere and decisive. He did not test or bargain, but just threw out the trump card directly.

Citibank agreed to the Russians' proposal to establish a naval base in Port of Spain on the island of Trinidad, on the condition that the Beiyang Fleet withdrew from the Caribbean.

Port of Spain has a critical and delicate location, being one of the gateways from the Caribbean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.

Although stationing troops here cannot completely block Citigroup's sea routes, it has buried a nail at Citigroup's doorstep, which perfectly fits the strategic interests of the Russian bear.

Brezhnev naturally nodded in agreement happily, and the Caribbean crisis came to an end.

The chaos in Hong Kong Island has calmed down recently, and the streets have returned to their former prosperity, or even become even more prosperous.

The result was naturally that the evil spirits won a great victory, and the landlord association was uprooted.

All its members, whether they were high-ranking British officials or the four major families with deep roots, were driven out of Hong Kong Island.

At this point, the landscape of Hong Kong Island has been completely reshuffled.

The evil spirits controlled more than half of Hong Kong Island's economic lifeline, and the remaining wealthy families and even government offices were all subservient to them.

Of course, it does not mean relying solely on the use of force.

In this change, Du Weiguo's original allies, the Huo family, the Bao family, the He family, the Shao family, and the Lou family, all gained enough benefits and the scale of their industries expanded significantly.

Among them, the most important is the Lou family, which is Lou Xiao'e's mother's family.

Her father, Lou Bancheng, is a capable man. In five years, the Lou family has firmly established its foothold in Hong Kong Island.

The Lou family's main business now is light bulbs, lamps, wires, etc. They do quite a big business, and their products are marketed throughout Southeast Asia, and even in the Middle East and Europe.

However, in Hong Kong Island, where there are many hidden talents and wealthy people everywhere, the Lou family can only be regarded as a second-rate family.

However, taking advantage of the fall of the landlords' association and Zhao Yingnan's intentional or unintentional inclination, the Lou family actually became a top family.

However, to date, their family is still unaware of their deep connection with Du Weiguo.

In addition, Hong Kong Island’s underground order has also undergone tremendous changes.

The Sun Yee On, one of the three major social organizations, collapsed because it was deeply involved in the planning of the Landlords Association. It split into more than a dozen small and medium-sized organizations, each operating independently.

The leader of the Sun Yee On, the old fox Xiang Qian, even left Hong Kong Island with his entire family and headed for Amsterdam.

A more respectable way of saying "leave" is actually to be driven away. If you don't leave, you will die.

The Sun Yee On has become the dust of history, but there will be no vacuum of underworld forces. Instead, the Kowloon Walled City will be established.

The Kowloon Walled City today is no longer what it used to be.

Nearly 30,000 young and strong men came to work in the factory, and thousands of the most capable men joined Zhongyi Hall, so they could have a guaranteed income every month.

In addition, Du Weiguo also allocated a wharf for them. The combination of white business and gray business once again solved the livelihood problems of thousands of people.

If a person has enough food and clothes, he will know etiquette. If he has enough food and clothes and some extra money in his pocket, who would be willing to live in a castle that is as dirty and dark as a pigsty?
Recently, Kowloon Walled City has begun to rebuild spontaneously, demolishing most of the privately built and dilapidated houses, and then building new houses on the periphery.

A small part of the reconstruction funds were raised by the residents of the walled city, and the vast majority were borrowed from Zhao Yingnan.

Of course, Zhao Yingnan's money needs to be repaid, and there is interest, but it is very low, lower than the interest on bank deposits.

The once magical punk-style Kowloon Walled City will soon cease to exist.

Now, if you ask who is the most loyal to Du Weiguo in the entire Hong Kong Island, it must be the 100,000 indigenous residents of Kowloon Walled City.

Anyone who dares to say that he is wrong will definitely draw his sword and fight to the death with red eyes. (End of this chapter)
