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

Zhang Cuilan looked at him, her face full of bitterness: "Old Yi, you clearly told me before that you would never scheme against anyone again. Why? Now we have a son, can't we just live a peaceful life? Why do you still need to scheme?"

Yi Zhonghai's expression was indifferent: "Cuilan, you don't understand, you don't understand at all. Let me ask you, do you want Tiantian to become a high-ranking leader like Zhou Weiguo, whom everyone envies, or do you want him to become like me, struggling at the bottom for the rest of his life? We ordinary people must recognize reality. Without opportunities, the idea of ​​flying up the tree and becoming a phoenix only exists in novels."

He looked at Zhang Cuilan, his tone extremely serious: "You must listen to me on this matter. You don't know how much the steel rolling mill has changed. Although the former factory director was an enemy agent, he did me a favor; he determined my worker grade. Although I'm still a criminal, he arranged a sentence reduction for me before the incident, and in another six months, I'll be cleared of my crimes. At that time, I'll retake the steel rolling mill's eighth-grade worker exam and try to transfer to Zhou Weiguo's team, striving to become his right-hand man. I'm not doing this for myself; it's all for the children!"

Zhang Cuilan's eyes were filled with tears: "Old Yi, why don't you understand? All your scheming and plotting usually ends up being for nothing. Why bother?"

Yi Zhonghai, however, remained unusually persistent: "Cuilan, believe me, my intentions this time are entirely good. I'll first find a way to get Tiantian to recognize Zhou Weiguo as his godfather, and then educate Tiantian to learn how to take care of Zhou Weiguo's daughter from a young age. The two children will grow up together, go to school together, and become adults together. I refuse to believe that there won't be feelings between them. Don't worry, I won't do anything bad again. My schemes are all for Tiantian to succeed with Zhou Weiguo's help. Do you understand?"

Zhang Cuilan, who had initially been full of resistance, gradually became dazed upon hearing this. After a long while, she simply sighed helplessly, turned her head away, and remained silent, clearly acquiescing.

Zhou Weiguo was completely stunned when he realized all of this.

Damn it, Old Yi is scheming again? And this time, he's scheming against my own precious daughter? Is he trying to get his son to marry my sweet daughter? And he even wants to become my in-laws? Damn it, he's dreaming! This is something I, as an uncle, can tolerate, but I, as an aunt, cannot.

"Honey? You're back?"

Upon hearing the call, he immediately composed himself and headed straight for his daughter, Nana's, room.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Tian Zao smiling broadly as she teased Nana on the crib.

When Tian Zao saw Zhou Weiguo enter, she only glanced at him briefly before her gaze returned to Nana.

"Nana, be good, Daddy's home."

Tian Zao gently patted the child, her voice tinged with exhaustion, "Second Auntie can finally catch her breath. Playing with you, little one, all day has really worn me out."

"Then why didn't you call the guards to come and help?"

Zhou Weiguo stepped forward. "You didn't really spend the whole day with her, did you?"

Tian Zao rolled her eyes at him: "It's fine to look after the female soldiers in the guard temporarily, but they always have a cold aura about them, and I'm afraid they'll scare the child."

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo felt a warmth in his heart and immediately decided to bring Xiao'e and Yuechang back in the next couple of days. Tian Zao was pregnant herself, and he couldn't let her work so hard; it would be troublesome if she overworked herself.

Just then, Zhou Weiguo's communicator suddenly rang.

As soon as he answered the call, Shore's voice came through.

"Young master, the grand show is almost ready. Would you like to come and watch it in person?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo's heart stirred, and he turned to look at Tian Zao beside him.

"There's a big show starting in Shore, do you want to come check it out?"

Tian Zao was taken aback at first, and a hint of interest appeared on her face. But when her gaze swept over Xiao Nana beside her, she immediately became hesitant.

Zhou Weiguo understood her intentions perfectly well. He immediately picked up Nana and, with a wave of his hand, the three of them entered the Red Alert space together.

"Wow! Brother, you brought your little darling in for me to play with? Oh, Sister Tianzao, you're here too!"

Nannan spotted them immediately and jumped up and down excitedly, "Quick, quick, brother, I want to hug Nana! I want to hug Nana!"

Zhou Weiguo chuckled as he handed Nana to the little girl, and then asked her a question.

"Darling, is it possible to access a real-time view of the submarine from the base?"

"Of course you can, brother! Come on, come on, I'll take you to the command center."

In a flash, everyone appeared instantly in the central server room of the base. Nannan lightly tapped the control panel, and the giant screen in the center immediately switched to display the live feed transmitted from Submarine No. 1.

The satellite positioning system next to it clearly marked the sea surface, and even the outlines of the ships were clearly visible.

"Wait a minute! That's not right!"

Zhou Weiguo stared at the coordinates on the screen, frowning. "This location is wrong. How did it end up in the Arabian Sea?"

He immediately dialed Shott's number through the mainframe, his tone tinged with doubt.

"Shutter, why have both submarines sailed into the Arabian Sea?"

"Young master, the Indian fleet withdrew from its original sea area yesterday."

Shaot's voice carried a hint of shrewdness. "I think this is a good idea. Once they're attacked, no one will suspect us."

Zhou Weiguo didn't see anything wrong with what he heard, but stared at the map with a puzzled look: "But what do you mean by blocking their naval port? Don't the Indians have mines in their naval ports? Aren't you afraid of causing problems?"

"Young master, the situation here is very strange."

Shaot's tone was tinged with curiosity. "We've thoroughly searched the entire port's entrance and found absolutely no mines. Only the islands and reefs on the side of the port are riddled with mines, an astonishing number. The most outrageous thing is that there isn't a single patrol vessel outside the Indian port."

"Are you on submarine number 1 now, Shott?" Zhou Weiguo pressed.

"Yes, little master."

Salt immediately responded, "The Indians' two cruisers, one destroyer, and three frigates have been in port for half a day, probably refueling. They should be coming out soon."

The words had barely left his mouth when a serious report came through the communicator: "Report! Radar has detected a suspicious fleet southwest of the port!"

Zhou Weiguo immediately turned his gaze to the satellite screen, and sure enough, on the sea southwest of the port, he saw several ships sailing side by side, with a huge black shadow trailing behind them, slowly approaching the port.

This scene piqued Zhou Weiguo's curiosity, and he picked up the control wheel next to him to try adjusting the screen.

The screen zoomed in and out, revealing a massive object being pulled towards the port from a distance of over twenty nautical miles away. Five tugboats were pulling side by side, dragging the object toward the port.

But when Zhou Weiguo saw the outline of that enormous creature, he froze.

"Holy crap? An aircraft carrier?"
