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

Lou Xiao'e has some issues with her family background, so if all else fails, she'll try to get the necessary paperwork done in Hong Kong later.

As for Natasha, perhaps she can only wait for an opportunity to get married abroad.

Finally, Zhou Weiguo chuckled self-deprecatingly, opened the car door, and walked into the neighborhood office.

Just as she stepped across the threshold, a fawning voice rang out: "Comrade Tian Zao, as long as you nod your head, I guarantee I'll handle your job transfer perfectly! Your Director Li won't approve it? I'll take care of it! As long as you're willing to be my girlfriend, how about it?"

This was followed by Tian Zao's slightly aloof response, carrying obvious resistance: "Thank you, but no need. I have a boyfriend, please move aside immediately."

"You have a boyfriend? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Her voice suddenly rose, filled with unbelievable disbelief and emotional breakdown. "I've checked everything, you don't have a boyfriend at all!"

Zhou Weiguo frowned and took two steps forward. He saw Wu Yuejin wearing a smart blue Zhongshan suit, with a shiny foreign watch on his wrist that made people dizzy. He was blocking Tian Zao's way.

Tian Zao gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with her fingers, her brows furrowed, and she tried to walk around him with a grim expression, but Wu Yuejin blocked her way.

"Comrade Tian Zao, don't keep people at arm's length."

Wu Yuejin suppressed his anger and forced a smile. "I pulled a lot of strings to get two tickets to the musical 'Lotus Lantern,' which is specially for foreign guests. It's so rare! Come with me!"

Seeing that Tian Zao didn't react, he quickly added, "Oh, right, I also have two meal tickets for Lao Mo! You've definitely never eaten there before, have you? It's a high-end foreign restaurant. If you agree, I'll bring you there every day!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to grab Tian Zao's wrist.

Tian Zao shrank back in fright, her face turning even paler, and she was about to say something with an angry expression.

Just as Wu Yuejin's hand was about to touch Tian Zao, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm tightly.

His knuckles turned white, almost embedded in his flesh, and Wu Yuejin instantly winced in pain.

"Zhou Weiguo?!" Wu Yuejin's expression changed drastically upon recognizing the newcomer, but he still forced a tough stance, saying, "I think you're courting death! Did you ignore my warning last time? I'm having an affair, what right do you have to meddle?"

Zhou Weiguo didn't give him a chance to continue cursing. He grabbed his arm with his left hand and pulled him down, then raised his right hand and slapped him across the face.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap rang out, and Wu Yuejin's face was turned to one side as he was hit. His teeth were clenched painfully in his mouth, and blood instantly trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He glared at Zhou Weiguo with venomous eyes and cursed, "Zhou Weiguo, you're dead! Do you know who I am? I'm going to kill you..."

"Snapped!"

Another slap landed, even harder than before.

Wu Yuejin staggered, and two bloody teeth fell to the ground with a "plop".

Zhou Weiguo grabbed him by the collar and pulled him straight, raising his arm again.

Wu Yuejin's eyes were filled with madness as he roared, "You...you actually hit me again? I'll not only kill you, I'll kill your whole family..."

"Snapped!"

"Awoo!"

"Zhou Weiguo, you..."

"Snapped!"

……

Tian Zao stood aside, watching Zhou Weiguo's efficient movements, her eyes shining like they held starlight, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

She didn't speak, just stood quietly, her eyes full of trust. She knew Zhou Weiguo would protect her.

After a dozen or so slaps, Wu Yuejin's face swelled up like a steamed bun, and the madness in his eyes had long since disappeared, leaving only fear and pain.

He opened his mouth, his voice muffled: "It all smells so bad... it's cold and sticky inside... it's so hard to breathe..."

Zhou Weiguo frowned, unable to understand what he was muttering for a long time.

Just then, a shout came from behind: "Zhou Weiguo, stop! Are you crazy? Do you want to die?"

Zhou Weiguo turned his head and saw that it was Fan Jinyou.

Why wasn't this guy arrested? He glanced at Wu Yuejin, whose face was swollen like a steamed bun, and thought to himself, "It's probably this guy's doing again."

Fan Jinyou pointed at Zhou Weiguo, his voice trembling with anger: "Zhou Weiguo! You beat up a revolutionary comrade in public without cause, do you have a death wish?"

"Whether I live or die is none of your business, you piece of trash!" Zhou Weiguo sneered. "Get lost, don't get in my way, or I'll beat you up too."

"You...you dare!" Fan Jinyou shouted, his voice trembling with fear. "Release Comrade Wu right now! You'll regret offending him! Even if you can fight, does that mean you can fight your whole family?"

Zhou Weiguo already disliked Fan Jinyou, and hearing the words "threatened family members" made him even angrier.

He grabbed Wu Yuejin by the collar with one hand and beckoned to Fan Jinyou with the other: "Come here, come here."

Fan Jinyou looked wary: "What do you want? Let me tell you, assaulting someone is illegal! Comrade Wu is someone you can't afford to mess with..."

"Come here and catch your master; he can't stand properly," Zhou Weiguo said with a half-smile.

Fan Jinyou's eyes lit up, thinking that Zhou Weiguo was scared, and he ran over to reach out to take Wu Yuejin.

But as soon as he stepped into Zhou Weiguo's attack range, Zhou Weiguo's foot flew out.

"Bang!"

Fan Jinyou groaned, clutching his stomach and curling up on the ground, his face pale with pain. He was about to curse "uncivilized" when he met Zhou Weiguo's cold gaze.

At this moment, Tian Zao was staring intently at Zhou Weiguo. The man in front of her was like a towering mountain, shielding her from all the storms.

In her past life, she was tormented by illness and public opinion to the point that she could hardly get out of bed, and those unpleasant things made her feel suffocated; but here, with him protecting her, she can finally live as she pleases.

Overwhelmed by a surge of adoration and dependence, she could no longer contain herself and rushed forward to throw herself into Zhou Weiguo's arms, tilting her head back to kiss him.

Zhou Weiguo was taken aback by her sudden action and quickly tried to push her away, saying, "Stop fooling around, we're outside."

But Tianzao was very emotional, her arms wrapped tightly around his neck, and her legs wrapped around his waist, refusing to let go no matter what.

Zhou Weiguo glanced helplessly at the two stunned people on the ground, then leaned close to Tian Zao's ear and whispered, "Do you want people to say we're having an affair?"

Sure enough, Wu Yuejin and Fan Jinyou's expressions turned extremely ugly after they realized what was happening.

Wu Yuejin pointed at the two of them, his lips trembling: "Impossible... Absolutely impossible! You two adulterers... I'll kill your whole family! Tian Zao, you unfaithful woman..."

"Snapped!"

Zhou Weiguo slapped Wu Yuejin again, and Wu Yuejin's cursing stopped abruptly, leaving only sobs.

Fan Jinyou shrank back in fright, but a smug smirk lurked in his eyes.

Seeing Zhou Weiguo looking over, he quickly changed his tune: "Zhou, Zhou Weiguo, I didn't see anything! I promise I won't tell anyone about you and Tian Zao dating!"

"Get out." Zhou Weiguo coldly uttered a single word. "From today onwards, if I ever see you appear in front of Tian Zao again, I will beat you every time I see you."

Just then, a stern female voice rang out: "Tian Zao! What are you doing?!"
