Chapter 494: Jia Zhangshi's tantrum results in a criminal conviction

Three days later.

Hanna's proposed "modular power layout" idea perfectly solved the difficulty of matching the aircraft carrier's power system with the hull, and the team members all praised it endlessly.

"Dr. Hanna's technology is amazing; no wonder she's a top talent from Hans Guo!" the young engineers exclaimed.

Lin Shengli laughed and said, "From now on we're comrades; together we'll make the Soaring Dragon a world‑top aircraft carrier."

After settling Hanna's arrangements, Lin Shengli took time to return to the siheyuan.

Just as he entered the zhongyuan, he saw Jia Zhangshi sitting at Yi Zhonghai's doorstep, cursing:

"That Lin Shengli, the bastard, got my son jailed and my house confiscated—I won't let this go!"

Her voice was sharp, audible throughout the siheyuan.

Lin Shengli's eyes turned cold, and he walked straight over: "Jia Zhangshi, keep your mouth clean. Bang Geng brought it on himself—it's got nothing to do with me."

"What do you mean, nothing to do with you?" Jia Zhangshi jumped up, pointing at Lin Shengli's nose and shouting, "If you hadn't sent him to the police station, could he have been jailed? I tell you, today if you don't compensate me for my house and my son's lost youth, I'll drop dead right in front of you!"

Saying that, she lunged at Lin Shengli, intending to make a scene and roll around.

The next second.

Two guards stepped forward and shoved her to the ground.

She staggered, then lay on the ground wailing.

"Making a scene also depends on the place." Lin Shengli's tone ice‑cold: "This is the siheyuan, not a place for you to run wild. I'll give you one last chance—get out of my sight right now, or......"

Jia Zhangshi climbed to her feet, neck stiff, and shouted:

"Who are you trying to scare? I'll keep cursing—Lin Shengli is a bastard!"

The guard stepped forward and slapped Jia Zhangshi silly.

"How dare you! You dare to scold General Lin!"

Lin Shengli waved his hand: "Send her to the police station—handle her however the law requires."

Guard: "Yes!"

"General?" Jia Zhangshi stared in disbelief.

When did Lin Shengli become a general?

If she knew, she definitely wouldn't dare to come cause trouble!

When the news spread that Jia Zhangshi had been arrested and taken to the police station, Qin Huairu found out right away, panicking, but she didn't dare to go beg Lin Shengli for mercy.

She knew that Lin Shengli was no longer the young man who could be pushed around as he pleased.

Lin Shengli walked into Yi Zhonghai's home; Yi Dama, who was cooking, saw him and hurriedly greeted him:

"Shengli, have a seat— Auntie made your favorite braised pork."

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Shengli, Jia Zhangshi is pitiful too—don't stoop to her level."

"Uncle, being kind to the wicked is just being cruel to yourself." Lin Shengli sat down, saying, "If she behaved herself, I wouldn't give her a hard time. But she keeps provoking me and even dares to insult me—she must be punished."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and stopped urging him.

He knew that Lin Shengli's status was different now—he bore the nation's defense on his shoulders and could afford no weakness.

At the meal, Lin Shengli brought up the progress of the aircraft carrier's development:

"Now the power‑system problem is solved; next is fitting the carrier‑based aircraft. We expect to finish the full design by year‑end and start construction next year."

Yi Zhonghai and Yi Dama beamed with pride, watching Lin Shengli grow from a newcomer engineer into a pillar of the nation, their hearts full of emotion.

Outside the compound, Yan Bu Gui looked toward Lin Shengli's home and whispered to San Da Ma:

"From now on, definitely don't provoke Lin Shengli—this kid is truly not to be messed with."

San Da Ma nodded repeatedly, recalling the time she'd given expired green tea and secretly relieved she hadn't ruined relations.

When the aircraft carrier design entered a critical phase, Lin Shengli discovered that the team's core data kept leaking for no apparent reason.

Although each leak involved only trivial parts, the frequency made vigilance inevitable.

That day, Lin Shengli activated his Heavenly Eye and checked each team member's loyalty.

When he saw a young engineer who had just joined, the Heavenly Eye showed his loyalty at only 10% and a covert link to a Western intelligence agency.

Lin Shengli kept his composure and deliberately released false data on the aircraft carrier's deck load capacity at an internal meeting.

Sure enough, that afternoon the false data appeared in the encrypted communications of the White Eagle's embassy in China.

Lin Shengli immediately contacted the security bureau and laid a net of heaven and earth.

When that young engineer secretly sent the "real data" (in fact an encrypted trap) to his overseas contact, he was caught red‑handed.

"How did you find me?" the engineer exclaimed, face full of disbelief.

Lin Shengli sneered: "National defense secrets are not for you to meddle with."

After this, the research team's security level was greatly raised; Lin Shengli also became more cautious, and for any new talent he must first screen them with the Heavenly Eye.

He knew the West would never stand by and let Daxia have an aircraft carrier; future troubles would only increase.

And when Hanna learned of this, she voluntarily offered to help the team build a tighter encryption system.

"I know the West's intelligence methods; let me set up the defenses—they won't be able to break through."

With Hanna's help, the team's communications and data security gained double protection, allowing the aircraft carrier design to proceed smoothly.
