My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 156 What did Chu Zhu and Huo Qiming talk about? (First update)
When Chu Zhu opened his eyes again, his face showed undisguised exhaustion. He rubbed his cheeks and forced himself to cheer up.

"Nuwa No. 17, now, retrieve all the best-selling novels in the world from 1930 until the internet shutdown..."

As the light screen appeared, Chu Zhu clicked on it as usual, casually watching. He read very quickly, while simultaneously pondering the matter.

"I think I'll be able to finish reading this bestselling online novel that's ranked fifth today... 4.72 million words, that's really not easy!"

This novel is one of the two that Chu Zhu published in real life, and it's also one of his favorites... although he hasn't received a contract offer yet...

at last.

It was around noon.

The familiar sound of the door opening rang out, and under the previously set restrictions, the screen in front of me automatically switched to the normal white and silver color.

Chu Zhu's eye twitched, because he was almost finished reading the book... just ten chapters left! Being forcibly interrupted at this moment made him feel quite frustrated.

After calming herself down, Chu Zhu turned her head coldly and saw Huo Qiming walking into the base while chatting amicably with Li Kang.

Li Kang said, "A-Zhu, let me introduce you..."

"I know, it's Director Huo of the Jinghai City Police Department, right?" Chu Zhu asked directly, "And also Chief Huo of the Special Operations Brigade?"

Li Kang: "?!"

No, who is he?! Even if you know him... couldn't you at least listen to the whole thing normally? Your interruption made him very awkward, and it also made Captain Huo very awkward...

“…It’s me.” Huo Qiming raised a hand to stop the somewhat flustered Li Kang from explaining for Chu Zhu, and added slightly, “I’m not angry!”

After sizing up Chu Zhu for a moment, Huo Qiming said, "Kid, the reason I'm here this time is..."

“Old Huo.” Chu Zhu chose to skip ahead, his expression serious. “Do you know that just ten minutes before you spoke to me, there was a minor power outage in the No. 2 special supervision room of the First District Police Headquarters? Five minutes ago, with the assistance of Chang Kai, the logistics manager, Qi Heng successfully escaped.”

Huo Qiming paused for a moment, looked at Chu Zhu, and after confirming that Chu Zhu was not joking, even though he had great doubts, he still trusted Mr. Zhu and took out his semi-transparent phone.

“Calling him now is useless! You understand, as a superhuman, even if Captain Qi can't display superhuman strength in front of ordinary people... a few minutes is still enough for him to escape the monitored area.” Chu Zhu calmly straightened his collar, speaking unhurriedly.

"But if you just want to vent your anger and cause trouble for the person who let him go... I don't recommend doing it so directly and violently."

“…Speak.” Huo Qiming uttered a single word succinctly, then, realizing that he was not in a good mood, he took a deep breath and said again, “Please speak.”

"Chang Kai, the supplies manager, isn't the only mole in the logistics department? Or maybe he can't even be called a mole. They don't think of themselves as moles; they just think they're spoiling their wives..." Chu Zhu chuckled and continued, "As an aside, Chang Kai isn't actually connected to the Omnipotent Clan! He's involved with the Hehuan Sect."

There was dead silence.

Ning Linglong's eyes started darting around; the amount of information was so overwhelming that it momentarily stunned her brain.

"...So, what are you trying to say?" After sorting out the information, Huo Qiming's attitude was completely different from before. He kept looking Chu Zhu up and down, his eyes filled with strange emotions.

"Now, call Secretary Zhang and have all the staff of the Special Operations Brigade of the First District Police Headquarters, the Special Logistics Department of the First District Government, and all other miscellaneous special management departments of the First District Commandery gather at the parade ground in front of the Police Headquarters for a training session!" Chu Zhu said confidently.

"As for the slogan for the training camp, perhaps we can use 'Based on the 42nd edition of the Civil Servant Ideological Study issued by the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty!' to provide them with spiritual education... Under ideal circumstances, this sudden training camp should be able to educate them for one to two hours!"

"Furthermore, because of the adherence to political correctness, even if the old ruling party finds out, without your prior notification... at most they'll just be a little dissatisfied. You can just complete the formalities later. No one will cause you any trouble because of this!"

“While you have this time, you can go and find Chang Kai, Li Ping, Zhang…” Chu Zhu fluently rattled off seven names. These were all undercover information he had learned from Qi Heng.

"Search their accommodations in the dormitory. I don't know much about the others, but under Chang Kai's, Li Ping's, and Zhang Long's beds, inside their bedside tables, behind the toilet tank, and on the left corner of the ceiling? There's a high probability of finding a cell phone in these places. The chance is about 50%! The phone brand is a Nokia waterproof phone..." Chu Zhu accurately named the three people and their approximate hiding places.

This information was naturally not given to him by Qi Heng.

Yes, this was information Chu Zhu had gleaned while running a dungeon... However, since two years had passed, he wasn't entirely sure if those people's belongings were still hidden here...

So he said there was only a 50% chance of finding it...

Moreover, he could only accurately name three people's rooms—because the remaining four were most likely infiltrated by the Hehuan Society in the last two years, so Chu Zhu didn't know much about them and naturally couldn't plan any unnecessary search locations.

In Chu Zhu's plan, searching for these three people would at least lead to finding one of their cell phones. And finding just one would be enough to serve as evidence for his claim—of course, if he couldn't find any of the three, Chu Zhu would accept it.

At worst, we'll just go all out this time, reveal Huo Qiming's identity as the masked swordsman, and then use Mr. Zhu's reputation as collateral to overturn the table and have Huo Qiming conduct a thorough search of all these people's rooms...

Once you've dug out the information, reset it, and then reveal your life again next time! It was just a slip-up in showing off... Reset it once, and keep going!

Chu Zhu was never worried about being proven wrong. In fact, much of his past information was obtained by repeatedly proving himself wrong, mortgaging his own reputation in advance to obtain the truth, and then resetting it... This series of processes.

What does this slap in the face have to do with how I'll act cool next time?

"A Nokia waterproof phone?" Huo Qiming was a little confused, because he didn't recognize the first three characters. Chu Zhu was speaking Chinese...

Chu Zhu wasn't worried at all about whether mentioning Nokia would cause any problems. After all, simply saying the words in Chinese was fine; the only issue would be demonstrating that she knew the meaning of the words and could communicate with Nuwa 17 in Chinese…

He continued calmly, “Open the phone, and you’ll find their long history of calls with an unknown number—whether you find any one of those numbers or all of them, the unknown number they’re contacting should be the same one!”

“This phone number…you can search it up! It directly involves the transvestite brothel on Happy Street…a pimp! You should already realize that the transvestite brothel is one of the strongholds of the Hehuan Sect in the second district.”

"..." Li Kang's eyes were fixed.

Ning Linglong felt her mind was in a mess, and subconsciously murmured, "How could it be the Transvestite Pavilion? Shouldn't it be Lou Wai Lou..."

The ladyboy cabaret offers all sorts of unimaginable entertainment! Although the prices are extremely high, its clientele is surprisingly small…

Lou Wai Lou was the most famous and largest brothel on Huanle Street.

“Yeah.” Chu Zhu rolled her eyes and glanced at Ning Linglong speechlessly.

He said, "Isn't it common sense that brothels are related to the Hehuan Sect? Lou Wai Lou is indeed connected with the Hehuan Sect... But, would the leaders of the Hehuan Sect be out of their minds to place their headquarters in a place that everyone can guess at a glance?"

"Tell me, how many times have you raided Lou Wai Lou during previous anti-prostitution campaigns? But have you really found any irrefutable evidence that they have close ties with the Hehuan Cult?"

“…There is some evidence, but it’s not fatal to them!” Huo Qiming’s expression turned somewhat grim.

"Isn't that right? If you can't find anything, you'll naturally realize there's a problem. Just revealing a tiny flaw, but not fatal, will make you think it's because your search was inadequate." Chu Zhu smiled silently, saying meaningfully, "Then, I'll firmly attract your attention and help you cover up the real fatal flaw!"

It is precisely because, subconsciously, people believe that places like the "Cross-dressing Pavilion," which engage in bizarre activities, have little to do with the "Hehuan Society," a lewd organization associated with the Ancient Tomb Sect.

That's why they did it!

And as it turned out, they did it very smoothly... Ning Linglong, Li Kang, and even Huo Qiming had no idea about this hidden agenda.

"..." Huo Qiming remained silent for a long time, then looked deeply at Chu Zhu and made a phone call. "Secretary Zhang, immediately target District One... no, this matter involves 'kung fu crime,' don't act directly... let Secretary Lin handle it... to prevent anyone from noticing something is wrong!"

Secretary Zhang is an extraordinary being and also knows the inside story of extraordinary beings. If he takes action personally... although the probability is not high, it is still possible to make the person being investigated realize the anomaly.

If it were an ordinary secretary, the risks in this regard would be greatly reduced!

After all, it's common sense to keep one's extraordinary abilities secret... Having Secretary Lin mobilize various agencies would obviously lower the vigilance of those being investigated.

Then, Huo Qiming relayed everything Chu Zhu had said verbatim—compared to Lu Zhizheng, who saw the complete plan but insisted on adding unnecessary details, even going so far as to suppress the original executor of the plan and then offer a reward afterward… to show that he hadn't done nothing, but also that he wasn't intolerant like Lu Zhizheng.

Fok Kai-ming's greatest strengths are his tolerance, chivalry, and pursuit of what is right!
A perfect plan is simply perfect. He sees a plan he can't find fault with, and he only admires it… then accepts it entirely! He doesn't feel discriminated against, humiliated, or manipulated by his subordinates as a leader…

hang up the phone.

Huo Qiming remained expressionless, arms crossed, staring intently at Chu Zhu. Chu Zhu, unperturbed, returned his gaze with a smile.

Ning Linglong glanced at Chu Zhu and then at Huo Qiming, wanting to speak up to ease the tension several times, but she hesitated to utter a sound because she was afraid of Huo Qiming... In the end, she stared straight at Li Kang!

Li Kang: "..."

Li Kang looked up at the ceiling... This ceiling is really white.

at last.

For over twenty minutes, which felt like an eternity to Ning Linglong, Huo Qiming's phone rang again.

"Speak!" Huo Qiming answered the phone. As Secretary Zhang continued to report, the gentle smile that had been on his face since he entered the room gradually disappeared, and his eyes turned cold.
