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

By this time, Zhou Weiguo probably already understood what was going on.

Perhaps I'm overthinking it; Elder Long and Elder Qin really haven't revealed their true identities to too many people.

It's likely that the two elders were simply at their wits' end and could only resort to using Natasha, a technical expert, as a pretext.

But Natasha had just left when he brought Lou Xiao'e and Bai Yuechang back, which made some people feel that they had lost their backing and were no longer so important, and that they could try to manipulate them?

Okay, this is interesting.

Lan Xiang looked at Zhou Weiguo with a look of utter contempt, as if he were an idiot: "So? Can you talk now? Actually, we've already given you a lot of face in this matter. Last time you had Xiao Zhan beaten up like that, we didn't lay a hand on you, which was only because of your sister Natasha."

"I hope you don't make a mistake! I'm giving you one more chance. Explain the situation clearly! Where did those two women go? And where are my four men? Someone heard our screams just now, and there's blood at the scene! If you don't explain clearly and someone dies, I'm telling you, you'll face the death penalty!"

"You're a college graduate, and a chief engineer at that. I doubt you'd want us roughnecks to test our strength on you, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh! Comrade Lanxiang, are you threatening me?"

Lan Xiang didn't refute this, his tone still harsh: "Zhou Weiguo, I've already said all the right things to you. I know your steel mill is doing very well right now, which is why I've repeatedly sent people to talk to you nicely. But what have you done?"

"You were living off Natasha's money, and as soon as she left, you used some connections to bring your old flame, Lou Xiao'e, back to Beijing. Don't think we don't know; you've had plenty of dealings with the Lou family before. Maybe you even suggested they leave for Hong Kong, right? But you didn't expect that despite all your efforts to get them out, the Lou family had no intention of coming back. In the end, you had to resort to tricks to lure Lou Xiao'e and another girl back together. Am I right?"

Zhou Weiguo stared blankly at Lanxiang in front of him. Judging from this, this guy even knew about Lou Xiao'e and the Lou family's situation in Hong Kong? He was completely dumbfounded.

To be honest, he's a bit confused now. Does this guy really know a lot, or a little? He also doesn't know which "god" provided him with this information.

Zhou Weiguo suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Oh right, explain to me why I'm going to the front lines? Why should someone like me, who lives off a woman, go to the front lines? And lead a team there, no less?"

Hearing his words, Lan Xiang gave him a look as if he were an idiot and said, "Comrade Natasha is not only technically skilled, but also has even stronger tactical combat capabilities. I completely believe she can train that kind of elite squad. And you're still pretending with me now? The squad Natasha left behind is specifically to follow her orders. In fact, those people aren't even from our Xia country. I've checked them all; there's not a single record of them. They just popped up out of thin air. Don't tell me you have that kind of ability. If you had that kind of ability, would you still be just the chief engineer of the Red Star Steel Mill? If I'm not mistaken, these people were left behind by Comrade Natasha to protect you, right? That's why you went to the front lines this time, just in case? Or perhaps Comrade Natasha's firearms need to be tested on the battlefield, and you went to help determine the quality of the firearms? Who knew that you, a deserter, had already left, but you secretly ran back. You're a disgrace to us men."

Zhou Weiguo was completely dumbfounded. This guy's brain circuits were extraordinary, and he knew a lot of information, but none of it was on the right track. It was as if in this guy's mind, Natasha was a goddess, and he was just a parasite who lived off a woman.

"So why are you offending me like this? How can you be so sure Natasha won't come back? Or are you afraid that Natasha will come back and avenge me, and then settle scores with you?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Xiang immediately burst into laughter: "You're still trying to trick me, kid? Given our current relationship with Guangdong, and with Guangdong's proposal regarding the ocean-going fleet and long-wave radio station, they've even started reducing the number of ordinary experts they're sending to us. Comrade Natasha went back; how could she possibly come back? How could Guangdong possibly release a comprehensive super expert like Natasha? I had some concerns at first, but now that we're at war with India, even Elder Long has urgently led a team to Guangdong, fearing a chain reaction. Do you really expect to be able to rely on Expert Natasha in the future?"

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Unreliable, unreliable, completely unreliable! Haha, mountains crumble, people run away, only yourself is truly dependable! Haha... Comrade Lan, can you tell me, what exactly do you need Lou Xiao'e and the other woman for? You're from the Municipal Bureau, I don't understand why you need them? Most importantly, how did you find out their identities?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Xiang's eyes flickered inexplicably, but as if remembering something, he finally spoke up: "Chief Engineer Zhou, our country is a society that values ​​personal connections, so some things don't need to be explained too explicitly. You just need to know that I won't have any ill intentions towards Comrade Lou Xiao'e. After all, you can't use the resources in Hong Kong, but you can always use some people, right?"

Zhou Weiguo raised an eyebrow, deciding to probe further: "Comrade Lanxiang, the person you're referring to as 'useful' isn't just someone behind you, is it? Does he also have the surname Lan? Is he an elder in your family? I think we should speak frankly; some things can always be discussed, right? You said we live in a society based on relationships; it's impossible for your family to be too well-off while everyone else goes hungry. Good things should be shared, don't you think?"

Lan Xiang frowned, as if pondering how to handle the matter.

After a long pause, Lan Xiang's face darkened. He gritted his teeth, gave Zhou Weiguo a cold look, and said directly, "Zhou Weiguo, it seems I've said too many nice things to you! You think you're qualified to negotiate with me? Since you're being so shameless, don't blame me for being ruthless! Guards!"

As soon as he said that, three or four people rushed in from outside.

Lan Xiang looked at everyone with a grim expression and ordered, "The men are yours! Don't cause any external injuries. I need to know where those two 'enemy agents' and our four brothers went!"

After saying that, he actually lit a cigarette, sat down to the side, and prepared to observe coldly.

Upon hearing this, the group immediately turned to Zhou Weiguo with varying expressions, their eyes filled with hostility.

Just then, the interrogation room door was suddenly pushed open, and a subordinate rushed in, shouting urgently, "It's terrible, Director Lan! Our station is surrounded by the army!"

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