My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 206 Madam Xue, This is Political Struggle!
Just as Chu Zhu was about to bite his back teeth and use the poison to commit suicide and reload his save file, his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the contact in confusion: "Mrs. Xue again?"

Pinching her brow, Chu Zhu realized something and answered the phone: "Regarding the next steps, didn't I say before that I would connect with the union's council? Or is it that you can't contact the council right now? You can just go to the union headquarters and give them my name..."

"No," Madam Xue interrupted Chu Zhu, her voice filled with anxiety, "Have you seen Fusheng?"

"What happened to him now?" Chu Zhu's eye twitched.

"He's missing... He disappeared along with that Dragon Sister and Dragon Brother!" Chu Zhu could clearly sense that Madam Xue was quite gritted-teeth when she mentioned the word "Dragon".

Chu Zhu remained silent for a moment, roughly organizing her thoughts, and made a guess. She carefully said, "You mean... he took Brother Long out of the police station! And then disappeared... I think he might have some mental issues. Otherwise, let's just leave him alone!"

If Brother Long were at the police station, Chu Zhu simply couldn't understand what could have happened to cause both of them to disappear at the same time...

But if his guess is correct, then Xue Fusheng's actions clearly constitute suicide. What else can be done? One can only set aside the urge to save him and respect his fate.

"No!" Madam Xue categorically denied. "Fusheng only wanted to stay with Brother Long, he didn't intend to take him away... Originally, last night, they were supposed to escort Brother Long to the First District Police Station! But on the way... he disappeared! The two of them disappeared together. And the escorting unit only found him this morning and took him to the hospital..."

"Time." Chu Zhu frowned, but at the same time, her mood was somewhat complicated.

Goodness, he's even going to accompany Brother Long one last time... It seems Xue Fusheng and Brother Long really do have some genuine feelings for each other... But no matter how you look at it, this whole thing is just too sloppy!
Chu Zhu silently sighed, hoping that the Xue family patriarch in Tianjing would be able to withstand the pressure after learning the truth.

"...The specific time of the escort was last night! By the way...the people escorting them were from the logistics department!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhu took a deep breath, her heart filled with turmoil.

Logistics Department... Hehuan Sect!

I almost forgot about this! You guys really know how to pick people...

No, it should be said that Chu Zhu had no idea that even after the official crackdown had been announced, the Hehuan Sect was still so rampant...

He lowered his eyes, composed himself, and said calmly, "You should emphasize this to Lu Jin, and the fact that the Hehuan Sect has infiltrated the escort team and the police bureau."

"...What do you mean?" Madam Xue's words suddenly stopped, realizing something, and her heart was filled with turmoil.

She originally called to ask if Chu Zhu had any classified information... but now it seems...

This has led to a vortex of conflict.

Yes, in Madam Xue's view, this was a powerful counterattack, or even a warning, from the official forces infiltrated by the Hehuan Sect against Lu Jin's call for a "thorough purge of the Hehuan Sect forces in Jinghai City"...

Given Lu Jin's status, and even her gaining the approval of the Su administration... then who is plotting against her behind the scenes...?

Madam Xue dared not think any further, because the number of people who dared to do this could be counted on one hand in the entire Jinghai City.

The Hehuan Sect... actually infiltrated such a being?!
“…I understand!” Madam Xue said sincerely, “If Fusheng is rescued, the investment share we promised in the shantytown renovation area will increase by thirty percent. Even if he is not rescued, as long as it is confirmed to be true, it will still increase by ten percent.”

After hanging up the phone, Chu Zhu paced around several times, trying to sort out her myriad thoughts.

Without hesitation, he bit into the poison.

In the next instant, time reversed...

Blinking, Chu Zhu stared at the light screen diary in front of her, lost in thought: "So it's this time period?"

"Nuwa No. 17, turn off the screen!" Chu Zhu closed her eyes and sensed her physical condition. Apart from a slight throbbing in her head, she seemed to feel fine. Yes, the pollution had indeed been washed away.

After a moment's thought, Chu Zhu took out her phone and smoothly dialed a number. A full half minute later, the call automatically ended.

"Sure enough, Xue Fusheng is unreachable now! Even if I commit suicide again now and reset to an earlier time period... it should still happen!" Chu Zhu nodded expressionlessly, further confirming that the incident occurred last night.

Chu Zhu left the base without hesitation.

He then went to the Third District Police Station, where Hai Mingyue was joking around with Lu Muxue.

He grabbed Hai Mingyue's wrist and dragged her roughly toward the police training room next door.

"You, what are you going to do..." Hai Mingyue's face showed terror. Chu Zhu completely ignored her, and Lu Muxue reacted instantly, rushing over with a hint of panic: "A-Zhu, is there some misunderstanding?"

He slammed the door open and then slammed it shut.

Chu Zhu glanced indifferently at the banging door... Lu Muxue was frantically knocking on the door, "You can tell me anything! Um, please don't do this..."

In response, Chu Zhu simply looked at Hai Mingyue, who was startled like a rabbit, and went straight to the point: "You attacked Xue Fusheng? How dare you! Hai family girl of the Hehuan Sect."

Hai Mingyue's aggrieved expression froze. She stared at Chu Zhu in disbelief, her voice suddenly rising: "Who...yes, who made the move? Don't make false accusations! I...you can't slander me! Who has anything to do with the Hehuan Sect...that disgusting sect, you..."

"That's interesting." Chu Zhu narrowed his eyes. "I don't quite understand. Do you really not understand... or is it that other members of the Hehuan Sect did this behind your back?"

Chu Zhu waved the transparent phone in her hand: "I just called, but I couldn't get through to Xue Fusheng... And I believe you should know that last night, Brother Long was escorted to the First District... Let me add one more thing, Xue Fusheng was following behind Brother Long!"

“They were in the same car,” Chu Zhu said, emphasizing each word.

Hai Mingyue fell silent, a shadow falling over her eyes, but she remained defiant: "I..."

"I don't have the time to slowly try to figure out what you're thinking! If you keep this up, I'll have no choice but to tell Lu Jin the whole story from beginning to end." Chu Zhu said expressionlessly, skipping ahead: "You understand, I don't need evidence! Lu Jin doesn't need evidence either, and given the current situation... Hmph! You don't expect your little bit of friendship with Lu Muxue to make Lu Jin and the others let you off the hook, do you?"

"No, no, no, if she found out that her uncle got into trouble because of you... Lu Muxue would be the first to turn against you!"

"Just tell me..." Chu Zhu's tone remained unchanged throughout, "If this matter truly has nothing to do with you, I can keep it a secret for you! There's still a chance to salvage the situation..."

After a brief pause, Chu Zhu looked at the still silent Hai Mingyue and said in a meaningful tone, "In fact, with your cooperation... I can even help you compete for the position of head of the Hai family! And let you control billions of dollars in wealth."

"!!!" Hai Mingyue's pupils contracted. For the first time, she began to think. Finally, she completely abandoned her aloof demeanor, looked directly into Chu Zhu's eyes, and said, word by word, "So, how do you plan to help me win it?"

"Oh? You want me to help you fight for it first? And then I'll discuss the rest with you..." Chu Zhu scoffed and retorted, "Do you think that's possible? Am I the one who's at a disadvantage? Or... do you think I'm one of those simps you've encountered before?"

"...If those privileged children find out about this word, you'll be in big trouble." Hai Mingyue pondered the meaning of the word and sighed sincerely. How apt!
"Are you sure you're looking for trouble?" Chu Zhu remained noncommittal. Did they even deserve it?
