Chen Jialing noticed Zhou Weiguo's arm movement, her eyes lit up, and she hugged his shoulders tighter, her tone becoming even gentler: "You can have me, isn't that enough?"

Zhou Weiguo was taken aback by these words and instinctively retorted, "Are you made of gold? That confident?"

Chen Jialing paused for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "Chief Engineer Zhou, you're quite the joker. But don't worry, I've already made the arrangements. As long as you're willing to abandon the darkness and embrace the light, the Republic of China will not only award you the rank of lieutenant general, but will also fund the establishment of a large-scale research and development institution for you. You just need to focus on research and development. At that time, the Republic of China will give you generous research and development rewards, and once your research projects go into production, you'll receive dividends from each project. If you're willing, we can also arrange for you to go to the great United States to receive higher-level learning and advanced studies."

Zhou Weiguo chuckled and looked at Chen Jialing, who was looking very serious, and asked curiously, "Are you talking about that 'one-seventeenth' that we beat to a pulp with our all-powerful weapons? You actually call it great? You guys are really something."

Chen Jialing's face darkened, and she suppressed her anger as she said, "Chief Engineer Zhou, I am speaking to you on behalf of the Party and the State. Please recognize the situation and do not make a mistake."

Zhou Weiguo raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Then tell me about that old man. I'm quite curious."

Chen Jialing's tone instantly turned cold: "Chief Engineer Zhou, I can still speak to you politely now, please don't push your luck, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Zhou Weiguo gave up on the act and sneered, "Oh, oh, oh, I'd like to see where you get the confidence to whine and argue with me. Is it just because of these few rotten potatoes and rotten eggs around you?"

His voice was loud, and the people surrounding the vehicles all turned around to look.

Chen Jialing frowned, glanced at the old man in the distance, gritted her teeth, and ordered the person outside the window, "Alright, that's enough for now. Let's leave immediately! I don't know if we can make it in time. Go tell Old Man Zheng to act immediately. Our mission is complete, let's go!"

The man hesitated and said, "If we let them act, wouldn't that cause too much of a commotion?"

"If they don't start fighting, how can we take the opportunity to evacuate?"

Chen Jialing said with a grim expression, "Anyway, that guy surnamed Zheng was a traitor back then, he deserved to die. Let them fight like dogs!"

Zhou Weiguo looked at the woman in front of him and shook his head helplessly.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Jialing saw him shake his head, she seemed confident and said, "Chief Engineer Zhou, everyone has weaknesses. If you're so capable, then keep being tough. I hope you won't have to kneel down and beg me later."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling instantly washed over him.

Chen Jialing looked at him with a half-smile, her tone provocative: "Oh, what's wrong with Chief Engineer Zhou? Why do you look so frightened? This is quite different from the confident and powerful person I remember."

At this moment, Zhou Weiguo had no time to deal with her. His mind immediately focused on his spatial dimension, using the communicator switchboard to call Natasha and Tian Zao.

About five seconds later, the call connected, and Natasha's voice came through: "Honey, what's wrong? I'm having a prenatal checkup right now. If you call at this time, I'll chase the doctor away."

Zhou Weiguo said sternly, "Natasha, you and Tian Zao may be in danger. Evacuate to a safe location immediately!"

Natasha's expression changed, and she immediately dashed into the hospital corridor. Looking around, she couldn't find Tian Zao: "Honey, Tian Zao is gone!"

She immediately drew her pistol from her waist, and after taking only two steps, she noticed the movement beside her and instinctively dodged to the side.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Rapid gunfire rang out in the hospital corridor, followed by Natasha's counterattack.

Zhou Weiguo's heart jumped, but fortunately, Tian Zao and Natasha both had watch-shaped communicators with them.

He immediately turned on the location function and saw that Tian Zao's location was moving eastward from the city at an extremely fast speed.

Just then, Chen Jialing spoke up: "Chief Engineer Zhou, I'm not afraid to be blunt with you, your wife is probably already in our hands. If you want her to live, you'd better cooperate with us."

Zhou Weiguo frowned and asked, "When can I see my wife?"

Chen Jialing suddenly laughed, leaned forward, and pinched Zhou Weiguo's chin with a confident air: "Oh my, Chief Engineer Zhou, why aren't you arrogant now? Weren't you quite formidable just now? See, I told you, everyone has weaknesses, and you're no exception."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Don't worry, everything will be arranged by the higher-ups. As long as you cooperate, I believe you'll be able to see her soon."

Zhou Weiguo knew he couldn't get any more information out of her, and he was genuinely worried about Tian Zao's safety, so he had no interest in continuing to chat with the woman.

Suddenly, he stretched his hand out the window, then looked at Chen Jialing with icy eyes: "Chen Jialing, you are the first enemy who dared to directly attack my family. Very well, I'll remember you. I hope you won't regret it later. Most importantly, I hope you can withstand my wrath."

Chen Jialing thought he was just bluffing and burst out laughing.

But as soon as she laughed, a series of thuds and stomps of people falling to the ground suddenly rang out around her.

Chen Jialing was stunned. She turned her head and saw that everyone around her was lying on the ground. Her face changed drastically. She subconsciously reached for her gun, but found nothing.

Then Chen Jialing's eyes turned cold, and she reached out to try to control Zhou Weiguo, but Zhou Weiguo just glared at her and swung his right hand away.

With a "thud!", Chen Jialing lay down on one side. At this moment, more than ten members of the Wolf Warriors squad dressed in camouflage emerged from the woods behind. After confirming that Zhou Weiguo was alright, they tied Chen Jialing up and then spread out to both sides of the car to form a defensive circle.

Zhou Weiguo lit another cigarette and looked into the distance with a mocking expression.

Old Zheng had been watching the situation closely. When he saw the men suddenly fall to the ground, his expression changed. Just as he was about to give an order, the gate of the steel mill suddenly burst open.

Old Zhang, accompanied by dozens of fully armed guards, rushed out of the factory with serious expressions, quickly forming a fan-shaped encirclement and keeping a close watch on the people brought by Old Zheng.

This sudden change startled Old Man Zheng. He realized something was wrong and was just about to give an order.

Just then, the roar of engines and the sound of rolling steel torrents suddenly came from afar... Ten Warrior troop carriers roared in.

These ten vehicles are completely unrecognizable as Warrior Jeeps, with full armor, dense firing ports, and oversized tires, clearly resembling the later ZSL92 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle.

Looking at the equipment on the roof of the vehicles, it was even more varied: four vehicles were equipped with Type 88 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, four were equipped with 30mm ZPT-99 autocannons, and the other two had four large cylinders hanging on them... Anyone who knows about these things can recognize them at a glance as the HJ anti-tank missile and QW portable anti-aircraft missile of later generations.

Chen Jialing stared incredulously at the commotion outside the steel mill and the distant roar from the sky, muttering to herself, "How could you mobilize such elite forces in such a short time? No, could this be a setup? Could it all be fake? Are you fake too? This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"
