"For the sake of the country, I think I'd better not look at these documents..."

"It's alright, take a look." Zhou Weiguo said calmly, "I might need your cooperation on a few things later, just keep the documents confidential."

Director Li then carefully opened the document. When she saw "Zhou Weiguo, head of the sixth intelligence group of the investigation department," the woman, who was over fifty years old, instinctively straightened her back and stood at attention, giving a salute.

She handed the documents back with both hands, her tone respectful: "Team Leader Zhou, this matter is actually not complicated."

"Last time you told me that Fan Jinyou had a problem, I immediately sent people to investigate and locked him up. But not two days later, Wu Yuejin came and asked me to give him face and release Fan Jinyou, saying that Fan Jinyou was useful to him. Of course I couldn't agree."

"I know Wu Yuejin's family is not ordinary. His uncle is an official in the Ministry of Metallurgy, and his grandfather is also very influential. By the way, it was that time that he met Tian Zao, and then he pursued her like crazy. I can only remind Tian Zao about Wu Yuejin's character and reputation, and I can't interfere too much."

"Until a few days ago, Deputy District Head Zheng, who is in charge of the subdistrict office, suddenly called me and ordered me to dismiss Fan Jinyou from his job, but he had to be released immediately. I had no choice but to comply."

"Not long after, Tian Zao disappeared. I was frantic and searched everywhere but couldn't find her. I even called the police. This morning she came to work and said she was being transferred to the neighboring street office. When I asked her about her disappearance, she wouldn't say anything, so I got angry and criticized her a few times."

At this point, Director Li glanced at Tian Zao, his expression turning somewhat grim: "I even suspect... whether Wu Yuejin did something to her."

"Director Li! Why would you think that?" Tian Zao exclaimed in surprise.

"After Wu Yuejin came to find you that day, you disappeared. How could I not be worried?" Director Li's tone was reproachful.

Tian Zao suddenly slapped her forehead and turned to Zhou Weiguo, saying, "Oh, right, honey! I remember now! Wu Yuejin told me that something was wrong in that courtyard that day, so I went to check it out, and I was arrested as soon as I went in!"

Zhou Weiguo patted her head and comforted her, "Alright, I understand. Don't worry, I definitely won't let you suffer any injustice."

"Husband?" Director Li looked at Tian Zao with a puzzled expression.

Tian Zao's ears turned red, and she quickly explained, "Director Li, 'Husband' is Weiguo's nickname, yes, it's his nickname!"

Director Li suddenly realized what was going on, nodded, and then looked at Zhou Weiguo: "Honey, since Tian Zao said that, should our neighborhood committee and the police station team up and launch a surprise raid on Brother Dao's yard?"

Zhou Weiguo got goosebumps from hearing this and quickly waved his hand, "Director Li, you can just call me Weiguo. Only family members call me that. Besides, we've already set up surveillance on Wu Yuejin and Brother Dao, so you don't need to worry about them."

Director Li nodded and said, "Alright, in that case, I won't interfere. By the way, Tian Zao's transfer is to Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office and Nanluoguxiang, right?"

Zhou Weiguo smiled and nodded in response, "Yes, Director Li, I'll leave this matter to you."

Director Li waved his hand: "It's no trouble at all. After all, it's all for the sake of you two young people living a good life. It's just a pity that I finally managed to train a neighborhood committee director."

These words left both Zhou Weiguo and Tian Zao somewhat embarrassed.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Director Li immediately smiled and tried to smooth things over: "I was just joking with you two, go on ahead!"

Zhou Weiguo nodded and left Director Li's office with Tian Zao.

Afterwards, the two returned to Tianzao's dormitory to help her pack her things.

After all that effort, all I got were two cloth bags and one shoulder bag.

The two of them picked up their luggage, got into the car, and drove off.

Hiding in the corner, Fan Jinyou watched the two leave and clicked his tongue in amazement: Goodness, Zhou Weiguo is quite bold. It looks like he's going to take Tian Zao home directly.

Zhou Weiguo glanced at Fan Jinyou hiding in the corner in the rearview mirror, but didn't pay any attention to him and stepped on the gas to drive towards the courtyard house.

He was overwhelmed by Tian Zao's enthusiasm as soon as she got in the car. Perhaps it was because they had gotten their marriage certificate, but Tian Zao's eyes were full of tender, spring-like affection.

Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but secretly rejoice that cars of this era didn't have privacy films on their windows, otherwise he really might not have been able to resist.

As soon as the car entered the yard, before the gate could even be closed, Zhou Weiguo kissed Tian Zao, whose eyes were full of affection.

After a while, the two separated.

As Zhou Weiguo got out of the car, a dark figure flashed past outside the courtyard, looking like Jia Dongxu.

He wondered if Jia Dongxu wanted to cause him trouble again.

But at this moment he couldn't care less about anything else. He hurriedly stepped forward, locked the gate, and then got into the car and carried Tian Zao, whose face was flushed, directly into the house.

Meanwhile, Jia Dongxu, looking excited, circled around and returned to the courtyard house, heading straight for Yi Zhonghai's home.

He pushed open Yi Zhonghai's door and excitedly shouted, "Master! Master! I knew it! I just saw that kid Zhou Weiguo drive into the yard with that woman from this morning, and then...they started kissing in the car!"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief: "Dongxu, are you sure? This is no joke."

An older woman who was cooking nearby was so startled by these words that she dropped the spatula from her hand.

Jia Dongxu said confidently, "Master, don't worry! They didn't even close the gate. I saw it clearly. I only rushed back after he got out of the car."

"Fine, fine! Zhou Weiguo, you've finally fallen into my hands. Let's see how I deal with you this time!" Yi Zhonghai said through gritted teeth.

An older woman quickly advised, "Old Yi, why don't you just let it go? He's a cadre. Look at our current situation; if something else happens, how will we live?"

Yi Zhonghai glared at the middle-aged woman and said righteously, "Zhou Weiguo, as a leader, is so shameless as to engage in illicit sexual relations. I'm helping him grow; we must take this opportunity to correct these selfish and self-serving bad habits in the courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu was secretly delighted, for his chance for revenge had finally arrived.

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment, then instructed, "Dongxu, go and call Lao Liu and Lao Yan over. Zhou Weiguo has been keeping a tight rein on our compound lately, and I think they'd be happy to lend us a hand."

Jia Dongxu immediately ran out of the Yi family's house.

A short while later, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui walked in.

As soon as Liu Haizhong entered, he asked, "Old Yi, why did you leave so early this afternoon? Did something happen at home?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't answer directly, but turned to Jia Dongxu and said, "Dongxu, stand by the door and watch out for anyone outside."

Then he looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "Old Liu, let me ask you, if you had another chance to be the second uncle, would you take it?"

Liu Haizhong instantly perked up, his fat trembling with excitement: "Old Yi, are you saying I still have a chance to be a second uncle?"

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
