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

One of the plainclothes officers was relatively polite, stepping forward slightly and speaking calmly: "Chief Engineer Zhou, we are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Investigation Department. We received a tip from the public and would like to ask you about some things."

Zhou Weiguo nodded. The other party was handling things politely, so he didn't need to deliberately make things difficult; it was just work.

"Okay, just a moment."

He then looked at the neighborhood committee official and police officers standing next to the second aunt, "What can I do for you?"

Seeing this, the others quickly waved their hands: "No, it's nothing serious, we're not in a hurry. Comrade Zhou, please cooperate with the comrades from the Political Security Department."

"Alright, please wait a moment. You may all come in."

Once the four people entered the courtyard, he gestured for them to follow him into the living room for a detailed discussion.

But the young policeman bypassed him and rushed straight into the courtyard.

Without any hesitation, the man kicked open the door to a bedroom, and his eyes lit up instantly when he saw the scene inside.

"Boss! Found him!"

"Aaaaaahhhhhh...!"

A sharp scream suddenly pierced the noise in the courtyard from inside the kicked-open door.

The scream caused an uproar in the courtyard.

The birds that had come to watch the spectacle in the courtyard all craned their necks, their faces beaming with excitement, as if they were watching a drama unfold.

The second aunt, in particular, had eyes that practically sparkled with joy, her face beaming with undisguised delight. She kept muttering, "Good, good! We've finally caught you, you bad guy! Let's see how arrogant you can be now!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui slapped his thigh in distress and stamped his feet in frustration: "If only I had gone to Zhou Weiguo sooner and begged him to arrange a job for my child! Now look what's happened. If Zhou Weiguo is finished, there's absolutely no hope for my family. What a huge loss!"

Hiding in the corner of the crowd, Qin Huairu's eyes were filled with barely suppressed excitement. She was thinking to herself: as long as Zhou Weiguo falls from power and Sha Zhuzi loses his backer, she will definitely find an opportunity to take Sha Zhuzi back into her grasp.

Standing at the back of the crowd, Xu Damao's eyes flashed with trepidation at first, but when he thought that if he succeeded in reporting Zhou Weiguo, he would definitely get promoted, his face immediately filled with greedy joy, and even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

The young policeman who kicked down the door was beaming with joy. He turned around triumphantly, as if to say something, but Zhou Weiguo suddenly moved.

Before he could react, Zhou Weiguo had already leaped up and kicked him hard in the chest.

"Pfft..."

With a muffled thud, the young policeman was kicked away like a tattered sack, flying four or five meters before crashing into a wall and coming to a stop.

Zhou Weiguo slowly withdrew his foot, his eyes filled with coldness as he stared intently at the older policeman beside him.

To his dismay, the man showed no anger whatsoever; in fact, there was a hint of barely perceptible joy hidden in his eyes.

Zhou Weiguo instantly realized that these two were not simply investigating after receiving a report; they had no good intentions from the very beginning.

He turned to look at the room that had been kicked open, and saw Lou Xiao'e standing at the door, her face pale and her eyes filled with terror. Clearly, the violent sound of the door being kicked open had frightened her greatly.

Lou Xiao'e only came to her senses when she saw that the person at the door was Zhou Weiguo. She could no longer hold back and rushed forward to throw herself into his arms, her body still trembling slightly.

"Waaaaah, for the country, what does this person do? He scared me to death..." Lou Xiao'e buried her head in his chest, her voice trembling with sobs.

Zhou Weiguo gently patted her back, his tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable strength: "Alright, it's alright, I'm here. Go inside and rest, I'll handle things outside."

As soon as he said that, the courtyard became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared at Zhou Weiguo in shock. How dare he take action in front of the police, and now he acted so nonchalantly? Had he gone mad?

Even the "birds" waiting at the gate to see Zhou Weiguo suffer wide-eyed, looking incredulous, as if they were seeing Zhou Weiguo for the first time.

Director Wang of the neighborhood office was so frightened that his face turned pale. He subconsciously took half a step back, his eyes filled with terror. He never imagined that Zhou Weiguo would dare to be so "lawless".

The second aunt's smile froze on her face, then was replaced by deep terror. She muttered to herself, "Zhou... Zhou Weiguo just kicked a policeman flying? How dare he? He's finished, completely finished. I think he'll probably be executed..."

Lou Xiao'e ignored everyone's reactions. After hearing Zhou Weiguo's words of comfort, she nodded and turned to go into the house.

"Stop! Hands up! Or I'll shoot!"

He turned his head and saw that the middle-aged policeman had pointed his gun at Lou Xiao'e, who was about to enter the house.

Zhou Weiguo's mind raced, and he immediately thought of Xu Damao. Could it be that these people were instigated by Xu Damao to specifically target Lou Xiao'e?

That's not right. When Lou Bancheng left, he followed all the legal procedures. How could he be targeted?

He suddenly remembered something: when he first returned from Hong Kong, he had mentioned to Old Qin that Lou Bancheng's situation was probably hopeless and he would never come back.

Holy crap? Could it be because of what I just said? This boomerang actually hit me in the face?

Thinking of this, Zhou Weiguo suppressed his anger and decided to communicate with the other party first. In case this was just a farce caused by a misunderstanding, there was no need to make it out of control.

He immediately stepped aside to block Lou Xiao'e, his sharp gaze fixed on the middle-aged policeman: "I don't know what your purpose is in coming here, but in my house, you'd better put down your guns and talk things out."

The middle-aged policeman's face was extremely grim. He roared angrily, "Speak properly? You just openly assaulted a police officer, and now you expect me to speak properly with you? Let me tell you, even if I kill you right now, you deserve it!"

"That's right! Zhou Weiguo, you've always been so domineering in this compound, and today you even dared to hit the police! You're completely finished this time! In my opinion, you should be executed on the spot!"

The old woman at the door jumped out again, echoing in a shrill voice, as if she could already see Zhou Weiguo being arrested.

Zhou Weiguo didn't need to turn around to know that it was his second aunt's voice.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at the middle-aged policeman again, already considering whether to have the guards take action directly.

After a moment's thought, he decided to hold back a little longer, since this might be a misunderstanding he had caused, and it would be better to explain things clearly first.

"Officer, your man needs to be taught a lesson. He came to my house and kicked open the door without my permission. Is it wrong for me to kick him?"
