I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

After finishing his sentence, the skinny man kowtowed repeatedly to the ground, his forehead instantly bleeding.

Before Zhou Weiguo could ask any more questions, he saw the man's body go limp, twitch a few times, and then fall silent.

"You're scared to death?"

Zhou Weiguo frowned, then breathed a sigh of relief—it's better that he's dead, saving us from further complications. He casually put the corpse into his spatial storage and turned to walk towards the artificial hill.

After searching for a while, they finally found the basement entrance under a loose rock.

He carefully checked it over and, after confirming there were no traps, lifted the cover and jumped down.

The basement was filled with wooden crates, each a meter long and half a meter wide, marked with signs for "explosives" and "biological and chemical hazards," which made one's scalp crawl.

Zhou Weiguo didn't dare to delay and put the boxes into his spatial storage one by one. He roughly counted them and found that there were eighty or ninety explosive boxes, more than twenty poison gas boxes, and a lot of guns and ammunition.

In a corner of the basement, there was a small cubicle containing three radios, and two large wooden crates next to it were filled with banknotes, foreign currency, and gold bars. Zhou Weiguo's eyes lit up, and he accepted them all without hesitation.

After climbing out of the basement, Zhou Weiguo dusted himself off and suddenly remembered that Tian Zao was still in Dao Ge's room, so he quickly ran back.

As soon as he pushed open the door, the scene before him froze him instantly—Tian Zao was writhing on the bed like a boneless water snake, her face flushed an unnatural red, and she was emitting soft moans.

"Tian Zao? How are you?" Zhou Weiguo quickly appeared and stepped forward to support her shoulders.

Upon smelling the man's scent, Tian Zao suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze glazed over, and rushed over, clinging tightly to Zhou Weiguo's arm.

Zhou Weiguo's heart tightened; he knew the medicine had taken effect.

He grabbed the pitcher of cold water from the table and splashed it onto Tian Zao's face with a "splash".

Tian Zao shivered, regained her senses for a moment, but soon began to wriggle restlessly again.

Helpless, Zhou Weiguo raised his hand and gently patted her face a few times: "Wake up! Don't do anything reckless!"

Tian Zao acted as if she hadn't heard, and instead reached out to pull on the ropes binding her—the ropes had loosened during the struggle, and she yanked them off, throwing herself onto Zhou Weiguo.

Zhou Weiguo subconsciously raised his hand and slapped her across the face. With a loud "smack," Tian Zao froze, staring at him in disbelief.

"I have a girlfriend, don't mess around! If you come any closer, I'll hit you!" Zhou Weiguo said through gritted teeth.

But Tianzao hesitated for only a second before rushing forward with red eyes.

Zhou Weiguo had no choice but to give it a try since it seemed to be working.

He grabbed Tian Zao and slapped her several times. To his surprise, Tian Zao didn't stop; instead, she started panting even more intimately.

Zhou Weiguo was inwardly groaning. In his memory, Tian Zao not only had a partner, and might even be married now, but she was also a troublemaker. If something really happened, it would be a huge problem.

Just as he was struggling with what to do, Tian Zao suddenly reached out and pinched his pulse point, her nails almost digging into his flesh.

"Hiss—" Zhou Weiguo gasped, looking down to meet Tian Zao's watery eyes, which were full of pleading.

Zhou Weiguo's heart skipped a beat. Who could resist that look?

Just as Zhou Weiguo lost his composure, there was a sudden, urgent knocking sound from outside the courtyard.

The sound was like ice water being poured over his head, instantly sobering him up considerably. Seeing that Tian Zao was still clinging to him like a vine, he made a quick decision, reaching out to press down on her shoulder and pushing her away. Taking advantage of Tian Zao's momentary daze, he used his mind to directly pull her into his spatial storage.

Immediately afterward, Zhou Weiguo activated his stealth mode again, his footsteps as light as a cat as he slipped to the courtyard gate. Two impatient complaints came from outside: "Damn it, it's already this late and no one's come to relieve us. Waiting in that mansion is driving me crazy!" "Stop grumbling. Maybe Brother Dao has other plans. If we sneak back and get caught, we'll definitely be punished!"

Zhou Weiguo's eyes narrowed—again, enemy agents! Without hesitation, he used his teleportation ability to instantly appear behind the two men. Before they could react, he grabbed their shoulders and pulled them into his spatial storage. Having dealt with these two tails, he immediately revealed himself and rushed out of the alley. Just as he turned the corner, he saw the three prominent characters "Light Bulb Factory," and his heart leaped with joy. He immediately ran towards the gatehouse.

"Halt! What are you doing sneaking around like this in the middle of the night?" The security guards in the gatehouse saw someone rushing over and immediately raised their guns and questioned him warily.

"Comrade, we're on the same side! I have an urgent case and I need to borrow your phone immediately!" Zhou Weiguo said urgently, while taking out his military officer's ID from his pocket and handing it over.

The security personnel shone a flashlight on the identification, and after recognizing the title "Major of the General Staff," they immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Greetings, sir!"

"Don't stand on ceremony, take me to make a call!" Zhou Weiguo returned the greeting, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Following the security personnel into the duty room, Zhou Weiguo grabbed the phone and dialed the steel rolling mill's security department directly.

The phone rang for a while before being answered. A muffled voice came from the other end: "Security Department of the Steel Rolling Mill, who is it?"

"This is Zhou Weiguo. Are Wang Jianguo and Colonel Zhang here?" Zhou Weiguo spoke very quickly.

The other person paused for a moment, then became enthusiastic: "Director Zhou! Director Wang and Chief Zhang are both here. We're having a barbecue, would you like to come and join the fun?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Get them on the phone immediately, it's an emergency!" Zhou Weiguo's tone was serious and left no room for argument.

"Yes, sir!" The other party didn't dare to delay and immediately shouted on the other end of the phone, "Director Wang! Colonel Zhang! Director Zhou has an urgent mission, answer the phone quickly!"

After a series of clattering sounds from the tables and chairs, Wang Jianguo's booming voice rang out: "Brother Zhou, what happened?"

"Brother Wang, immediately assemble the guard regiment, your National Security personnel, and Colonel Zhang's team, and split them into three groups!"

Zhou Weiguo said in a deep voice, "The first group goes to the Fifth Research Institute and evacuates personnel overnight. There are two enemy agents in the basement, and they are hiding a large amount of explosives and poison gas. The second group goes to Mr. Lin's residence. There are explosives and poison gas in the storage room next to his house, so be careful to search it. The third group goes directly to the East Light Bulb Factory. I will have the security department there guide you!"

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, except for a few gasps of surprise.

Zhou Weiguo hung up the phone without waiting for a response.

As soon as I turned around, I saw a whole line of people standing at the door of the duty room—ten security guards, all armed with guns. Two of them were carrying light machine guns, and the last one was even carrying a mortar!

The man at the head of the group stepped forward and saluted: "Comrade Commander, I am Hao Dalei, the deputy head of the security department of the light bulb factory. I am leading nine team members and await your command!"
