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

Zhou Weiguo leaned against the wall and gave the order in a calm tone, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

The guard saluted respectfully, replied "Yes," and immediately turned and walked quickly outside.

At this moment, only Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu remained in the Jia family house, making the atmosphere even more ambiguous and eerie.

He Yuzhu was still sitting there blankly, his mind a jumbled mess, like a lump of mush. He kept thinking about where that glass of water came from, how his uncle's water ended up here, and what these people wanted to do.

Qin Huairu's heart was pounding so hard she could almost hear it herself, and her cheeks flushed.

She stared intently at He Yuzhu, her eyes filled with a strange light, like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey. She kept repeating to herself: "Zhuzi, you're finally mine! Zhuzi, I've waited so long for this day! Don't worry, Sister Qin will treat you well from now on. You'll be the only one in my heart for the rest of my life, and I'll take care of you until you're completely comfortable!"

At this moment, Qin Huairu subconsciously thought that she was so moved because she would soon be truly together with He Yuzhu. She had even thought about what to name the children she would have with He Yuzhu, what the boy would be named, and what the girl would be named, all very clearly.

Feeling her heart pounding in her chest and looking at the man she had been longing for, Qin Huairu could no longer control her desires. She suddenly lunged into He Yuzhu's arms, opening her arms to embrace him.

But He Yuzhu's gaze remained fixed on her, and his doubts kept him on guard.

Seeing her suddenly pounce on him, he was so frightened that he quickly dodged to the side, moving quite fast and narrowly avoiding her.

Qin Huairu missed her target and fell heavily to the ground, wincing in pain. She looked up, her face filled with grievance and sorrow, her eyes instantly reddening. She choked out, "Zhuzi, how could you avoid Sister Qin? Sister Qin only has you in her heart! Zhuzi, come here, hug Sister Qin, okay? Sister Qin is so sad..."

Just then, Zhou Weiguo appeared behind Qin Huairu in a flash, his eyes cold, and with a swift chop, he precisely struck her neck.

With a "thump," Qin Huairu collapsed to the ground without even uttering a sound, unconscious.

He Yuzhu stared blankly at Qin Huairu lying on the ground, feeling a sense of déjà vu about the scene. His mind was in a daze, buzzing, and he had no idea what was happening.

After a moment of hesitation, he turned and went into the kitchen. When he came out, he was carrying a thick rolling pin.

He tossed the rolling pin beside Qin Huairu, then breathed a sigh of relief, turned and left, closing the door with a creak.

Then, He Yuzhu walked towards the east courtyard.

This kid was really bold. He didn't consider the consequences at all and just reached out and ripped off the seal on the door. With a "rip," the seal was torn to shreds.

He pushed open the courtyard gate and strode inside.

Zhou Weiguo just happened to come out of the house at that moment.

He Yuzhu's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Weiguo. He excitedly strode forward, his voice trembling slightly, "Uncle! I knew you'd be alright! Those bastards are lying to me again. Do they think I'm really stupid?"

Before Zhou Weiguo could speak, He Yuzhu rushed over, his face flushed, spitting almost onto Zhou Weiguo, and began to curse, "Uncle! That old bastard Yi Zhonghai is a real scoundrel! He tried to play dirty tricks on me! He thought he could fool me by putting a lousy seal on your gate? Does he think I'm stupid?"

He grew angrier as he spoke, clenching his fist and slamming it into his palm. "Judging from the handwriting on that seal, it's most likely Yan Fugui's! When I entered the courtyard just now, that old bastard was giving me shifty, evasive looks; he's definitely hiding something!"

"And Qin Huairu!"

He Yuzhu seemed to suddenly remember something, his voice filled with lingering fear. He glanced around before lowering his voice, "This woman is getting more and more shameless! She pounced on me in public! You have no idea, I was so scared my hair stood on end!"

He patted his chest, solemnly declaring, "Uncle, please don't misunderstand, I have absolutely no feelings for her! Ever since I started dating Yu Li, she's the only one in my heart, and I must remain chaste! From now on, I'll definitely avoid Qin Huairu whenever I see her!"

Zhou Weiguo raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery and oddness, and sized him up before slowly saying, "Oh? You have no feelings for her? Then why did you leave her a rolling pin? Are you planning to give it to her as part of her dowry or something?"

He Yuzhu's face turned pale instantly, his eyes widened, and his voice trembled: "Ah? You... how did you know about this?"

He frantically waved his hands, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, and hurriedly explained, "That, that was a misunderstanding! I really didn't mean anything by it! I just... I just saw her always using a rolling pin to cook, and I thought it was convenient for her, so I kept it for her to use in self-defense! Yes, for self-defense!"

Zhou Weiguo rolled his eyes dramatically, his tone practically dripping with sarcasm: "Self-defense? I'd be defending myself! Why don't you just say you'd give her a weapon so she can chase you around and beat you up?"

He Yuzhu was speechless after being rebuked, and could only nod awkwardly with a forced smile: "Yes, yes, that's pretty much it!"

He quickly changed the subject, his tone full of confusion and anger, "Uncle, what's going on today? Weren't these people quite well-behaved a while ago? Why did they suddenly all act up again? And that bastard Xu Damao, he's getting involved too! He actually came to see me with Yi Zhonghai, saying you were arrested by the police, and even made up stories about you committing treason!"

He rolled up his sleeves, looking ready for a fight. "Damn it! I'm going to settle this score with him later, give him a good kick! Let him remember this, don't think he's forgotten the pain just because it's been a while since I beat him up!"

Looking at his indignant expression, Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but smile and gently shook his head: "He really didn't lie to you. I was indeed taken away by the police this morning."

He Yuzhu's eyes widened instantly, his mouth gaping open wide enough to fit an egg, his voice filled with disbelief: "What? Uncle, you're kidding me! You were arrested by the police, and you're still standing here so leisurely? You must be joking with me!"

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand, too lazy to explain further, his tone tinged with mystery: "Don't ask so many questions, just come with me to watch the show. I bet the courtyard is already buzzing with excitement. By the way, you'd better be prepared, or I'm afraid you might go crazy!"

He Yuzhu looked bewildered, scratching the back of his head: "Huh? Uncle, don't try to fool me. Watch a show? What show? What kind of show could there be in this yard? A mental illness? Uncle, you're exaggerating!"
