My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 115 The Plan That Crashed at the First Step

Second District Government Office

Lin Youcai walked out of the Second District Police Station, followed by Deputy Captain Haiyun.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lin." Haiyun smiled and bowed slightly. "I'd like to treat you to a meal as a reward..."

"Enough with the talk." Lin Youcai waved his hand expressionlessly, his tone indifferent. "I will give you as many resources as you make! This is the policy of Daqian, and there is no room for loopholes."

"Haiyun, I know your identity, but you should understand... the Commandery doesn't care about the Hai family at all." Lin Youcai stared coldly at Haiyun. "I hope you will respect yourself! Don't give me a reason to target you."

"...Yes, I know! I just wanted to invite you to dinner." Haiyun showed no anger at being slighted, her smile remaining unchanged.

"You'd better be!" Lin Youcai said sternly, turning around abruptly and walking towards the government office not far away.

Finally, after Lin Youcai was completely out of sight, Haiyun's face darkened, he clenched his fist, and spat inwardly.

"What kind of person is this! Acting all high and mighty... I don't believe anyone can truly be indifferent to money and cultivation resources, without any flaws... Hmph, just you wait! Don't let me catch you red-handed."

……

Second District Civil Affairs Bureau, Special Office.

The Commandery is a very special organization. It is not entirely integrated into the police superintendent's system!

To be precise, it should be said that the direct combat organization of the Commandery was integrated into the Police Superintendent's Bureau. As for the logistics organization, it was naturally integrated into the department in charge of civil affairs, forming an organization similar to the Special Operations Brigade of the Police Superintendent's Bureau—the Special Office of the Civil Affairs Bureau!
The other departments of the Commandery were also incorporated into the other departments due to the nature of their work, and enjoyed the same status as the Special Operations Brigade within the Police Commissioner's Bureau—although they belonged to the departments, the departments had no jurisdiction over them! They were detached from worldly affairs.

Lin Youcai walked to his office, then suddenly stopped, his expression turning serious.

He discovered that his office door was open.

Thoughts raced through Lin Youcai's mind as he considered one possibility after another. He took a few steps inside and saw a smiling young man sitting casually in his chair, looking him up and down.

"...Who are you? Who sent you? How dare you sit there!" Lin Youcai's expression instantly changed, his words filled with rebuke. "Don't you know what the Special Office is? Get out and bring your direct superior here! Didn't you hear me..."

"B2! Nuclear... oh no, I should say, what secrets does that place where you're harvesting resources hold?" Chu Zhu used only a casual sentence to directly subdue Lin Youcai.

He stared intently at Chu Zhu with a blank expression, then quietly retreated. After glancing around to make sure no one had heard what he had said, he stepped back in and slammed the door shut.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Youcai appeared in front of Chu Zhu. He placed his feet on the desk, crouched slightly, and pulled out a short blade from somewhere. At that moment, the blade transformed into a light blade and pressed straight against Chu Zhu's neck.

His voice was filled with murderous intent, "Who sent you!"

"Let me introduce myself first." Chu Zhu was calm and composed, showing no sign of the embarrassment or fear of having her life controlled by others. "My name is Chu Zhu, and I am currently the Director of the Urban Renewal Area Management Department. I am well-liked by the residents of the urban renewal area and have a nickname: 'Mr. Zhu'."

Lin Youcai's pupils suddenly contracted.

When he saw that Chu Zhu was actually ramming his neck straight into the light blade, he retreated in a panic like a mouse seeing a cat, taking a step back. As a result, he missed his footing and crashed to the ground with a "boom".

"..." To be fair, Chu Zhu did want to use this opportunity to put Lin Youcai in a difficult position, but he didn't expect that this guy would be so entertaining.
"You, you!" Lin Youcai quickly got up again, shook off the dust from his clothes, and acted as if nothing had happened about him falling off the table in such a disheveled state. "Director Chu, what brings you here?"

"Furthermore," Lin Youcai paused slightly, "even if you have incredibly powerful connections, entering the Special Office without authorization is a major taboo! Are you trying to steal information about the Special Office?"

Lin Youcai's voice contained a hidden threat, "If I report this to higher authorities, even the deputy governor behind you won't be able to stand up to me... At that point, your best outcome will be losing your position as director."

Lin Youcai spoke more and more fluently. Yes, he didn't dare to kill Chu Zhu. In fact, he had to avoid Chu Zhu when she deliberately acted as if she wanted to commit suicide.

Who is Lu Zhizheng? Even in the First District, he is a true figure at the top of the power chain!
Even with extraordinary isolation measures in place, it doesn't mean that Lu Zhizheng can't do anything to him if he wants to... Since ancient times, rules are rules, and current regulations are current regulations!
Not to mention, if Chu Zhu really dies at his hands... he'd be in the wrong, and if he could die a quick death, he'd have to thank Governor Lu for his great benevolence!

However, he only dared not kill Chu Zhu!
"You've already entrusted Zhang Kun and the others to seize the key and map to the resource processing point, and you're still worried about this?" Chu Zhu raised an eyebrow, her words flippant.

Lin Youcai fell silent, but the atmosphere in the office instantly became extremely tense. A genuine sense of killing intent arose within him. However, reason compelled him to forcefully suppress it once more!
"certificate……"

"It's pointless to discuss this now." Chu Zhu stood up, staring directly at Lin Youcai, her words laced with sarcasm. "I have connections that reach the heavens, I have witnesses, and I know... that person is you!"

"So what if you have evidence? So what if you don't? You don't really think you can get away with this, do you?" Lin Youcai's expression remained unchanged, but his calves under his trousers tensed slightly, the muscles twitching. "I don't know what you're talking about!"

“Tell me directly, what exactly is the location where you collected resources? What is radiated water? What is the essence of radiated stone? Why do you want that key? And… why did you steal it? If you steal it, aren't you worried that the Commandant is waiting for you at the gate? How do you plan to plunder the resources?”

Chu Zhu was straightforward: "Alright, answer these questions! You'll understand once you answer them, I'll be considered an accomplice! Then I won't report you anymore."

"You don't need to suspect me of framing you! Like I said, so what if there's no evidence? Do you understand the value of being a second-generation rich kid?" Chu Zhu said, enunciating each word clearly. "Even if you're not a suspect, taking you down is a piece of cake!"

"In the end, this Great Qian Dynasty still belongs to the rulers! It belongs to the powerful and wealthy!"

Chu Zhu raised her head high, now completely like a villain, exuding an aura of arrogance and bullying others.

Lin Youcai's expression remained unchanged, but countless thoughts were flashing through his mind. He knew that Chu Zhu was telling the truth...

Finally, he took a deep breath, a shadow falling over his eyes, and gave Chu Zhu a heavy look. "Mr. Zhu, you've won... I hope you won't regret it in the future!"

Chu Zhu smiled again, slowly sat back down, and put her shoes on the desk. "You should have said so earlier! You can see that I have a bright future. If you're really willing to work with me, you'll get promoted and make a fortune in the future, wouldn't that be great?"

"It's much better than you sitting here thinking about stealing that thing... right?"

“Alright,” Chu Zhu shrugged, seeing that Lin Youcai still hadn’t spoken, and decided not to provoke him further. “Let’s start explaining…from the beginning! Explain everything: the name of that place, its purpose, what’s inside, how the resources were obtained, and whether it will be completely depleted!”

“That’s the most forbidden area in Jinghai!” Lin Youcai clenched his fists, but no matter how unwilling he was, he could only carefully choose his words. “No one knows how these forbidden areas came to be…”

"Isn't it just an ancient ruin?"

"..." Lin Youcai choked for a moment, pretending not to hear Chu Zhu's argument, and continued, "Inside the forbidden area, there are some special institutions. After going through some special methods, they can continuously produce resources for cultivation!"

"Don't ask me about any special methods... Once you're inside, you'll understand. Some things, my words are useless—heh, once you're really inside, you'll understand just how cruel and ridiculous the truth of this world truly is! You'll understand why I..."

"No, I'm not here to hear your inner thoughts!" Chu Zhu silently raised his hand. He thought B2 was a little crazy. At a time like this, why was he still playing the riddle game?
He hates riddle tellers the most!
If the current situation weren't unsuitable, if the other party hadn't given their full answer... and if he weren't unsure if he could defeat them... Lin Youcai would already be lying on the ground.

"..."

"As for why I robbed!" Lin Youcai paused briefly, then said with a self-deprecating laugh, "What else could it be? Isn't it because the resources allocated from above are too few? What other reason could there be..."

"Because he had too much wealth, he was tempted? That makes sense!" Chu Zhu nodded thoughtfully. It's common knowledge that the more money an official has, the higher the probability of corruption! After all, people's hearts can't withstand the test of time.

"As for what happens if I steal it... Hmph, once we get the key, our logistics department will naturally conduct a thorough search! But in the end, we definitely won't find it... Although we'll go outside the restricted area to check and supervise, how long can we supervise them?"

Lin Youcai's mockery deepened. Matters involving the supernatural couldn't be known to ordinary people, so naturally, ordinary people couldn't be mobilized to monitor the restricted area…

The official number of superhumans is just that small! It's simply impossible to pull out a large number of them for long-term, 24-hour surveillance of the restricted area.

Of course, this doesn't mean the restricted area will be completely rendered unusable—we can apply for a second key! However, this report must be sent to the Imperial Capital.

But it will take at least several months for the matter in the capital to be resolved and the second key to be returned!
All he needed to do was infiltrate the Commandery over the next few months, figure out the specific patrol procedures, and devise a relatively perfect plan...

You can then sneak in, following the loopholes! For at least several months, you won't need to worry about being exposed...

By then, the unlimited resources he's received over the past few months will be enough to propel him to the next level, making him a master of the third realm.

Even more, they can accumulate resources to... reach the transcendent realm beyond the three realms!

Once he takes the fourth step, he will truly be free to soar like a bird in the sky! He can attack or defend as he pleases. Even in the entire Great Qian Dynasty, he can be considered a pillar of strength! His life will be completely transformed from that point on.

but……

A flicker of longing appeared in Lin Youcai's eyes, but he quickly composed himself, staring coldly at Chu Zhu. He felt resentful and powerless… but now, his entire plan had fallen apart!

He knew Chu Zhu very early on, even before Chu Zhu became the director of the management department—after all, it was because Chu Zhu captured the robbery gang and then called the police that his long-prepared plan was directly shattered at the very first step!
