My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 208 Eight hundred men it is, eight hundred men it is, eight hundred men, the first to strike is the best! (First update)
"Sister Lu, this is actually a misunderstanding," Hai Mingyue said timidly. "Brother Chu initially thought I was involved in a case that the police department was investigating. But it turns out that this case... is related to our family!"

Lu Muxue, who had been sulking and ignoring Chu Zhu since seeing Hai Mingyue, paused upon hearing this. She glanced at Hai Mingyue in shock, then turned to look at Chu Zhu, who was standing with her arms crossed, seemingly deep in thought. She stammered, "With your family... does that mean... Uncle Hai!"

Hai Mingyue nodded, her face filled with sorrow and grief, almost pleading, "Please don't ask any more questions, okay? Sister Lu..."

“Okay.” Lu Muxue nodded instantly. She patted Hai Mingyue’s head, her brows furrowed with worry. Her gaze drifted to Chu Zhu, then she looked at Hai Mingyue earnestly and asked, “Is this matter serious? If… would you like to come and stay at my house for a while?”

"No, you...aren't you going to ask your father?" Chu Zhu finally couldn't hold back anymore and interrupted, "Is it possible that your father is the one who wants to deal with the Hai family?"

So innocent! Just like a recent college graduate in the real world.

Lu Muxue: "?!!"

Lu Muxue's eyes widened in surprise.

"Alright, let's stop with the small talk!" Chu Zhu looked at Hai Mingyue.

Hai Mingyue nodded knowingly, quietly said goodbye to Lu Muxue, took small steps forward, grabbed Chu Zhu's sleeve, and followed closely behind.

Chu Zhu stepped forward, her voice steady: "Hai Mingyue and I have important business to attend to! Farewell, we'll talk again another time!"

Lu Muxue: "???"

Staring in disbelief as the two left, Lu Muxue felt her brain overwhelmed by too much information, to the point of being in a state of chaotic malfunction. This…this isn't right, is it? Something important…what important business could you possibly have on your first meeting?
Also, why does she feel like she's become an unwanted person?
"So, what exactly happened in the locked room?!"

Lu Muxue pondered for a long time, then looked at the guard room, her body trembling. Damn it, she was just one step too late! If she had rushed into the guard room earlier, would their relationship be as close as Chu Zhu and Hai Mingyue's now...?

……

Outside the police station.

"Alright, alright?" Chu Zhu glanced expressionlessly at Hai Mingyue, who was clutching the hem of her clothes. "If you wanted to annoy Lu Muxue, you can't see her now!"

Chu Zhu knew that Hai Mingyue actually harbored a slight jealousy and longing for Lu Muxue... because Lu Muxue was practically her ideal self, although she was so innocent as to be almost naive, but that was precisely because she had been so well protected by her parents...

She had a loving and devoted set of parents who were wealthy, powerful, and influential... yet she was not spoiled!

Everything I saw and experienced was filled with love and warmth!

Even in terms of status alone, Hai Mingyue doesn't seem to be much inferior to Lu Muxue on the surface. If they weren't from the same social class, they wouldn't have become such good friends so easily... Even if Lu Muxue doesn't actually care about this difference in status.

However, only Hai Mingyue herself knew just how big the difference really was!

"No, no!" Hai Mingyue pleaded sweetly. However, under Chu Zhu's death stare, Hai Mingyue's expression gradually froze, and then she gently loosened her grip, sighing, "Alright, Brother Chu, I'm quite curious! Do you like women?"

Chu Zhu raised an eyebrow and gazed at Hai Mingyue with interest.

"What type do you like?" Hai Mingyue tilted her head. "You should know about 'kung fu,' right? Because of the special nature of my internal energy cultivation, I can freely 'disguise' myself as any woman you like!"

Hai Mingyue's voice was soft and alluring: "Marrying me is like marrying many, many more..."

"Oh." Chu Zhu seemed to understand something. This must be Hai Mingyue's supernatural power.

"Besides, I... have a tiny bit of status!" Hai Mingyue made a gesture of pointing to the universe: "What kind of wildflowers do you want? I can help you find them. No one is better than me at finding women who fit worldly aesthetics."

"I know." Chu Zhu nodded, knowing that the other party was implying the Hehuan Sect—if they weren't so good at cultivating all sorts of people... how could the Hehuan Sect have infiltrated the government to such an extent?

The motto of the Hehuan family is: Men conquer the world, women conquer men!

and so……

Chu Zhu patted Hai Mingyue on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Are you done talking? Then you should go get to work. Don't forget what you promised me!"

Chu Zhu didn't say anything harsh, but both of them understood the unspoken message: Think about my plans for your family; if you dare to disobey...

A brief silence.

"..." Hai Mingyue was genuinely amused and angrily glared at Chu Zhu for a while before turning around and leaving quickly: "What an unromantic man!"

Watching Hai Mingyue drive away on her electric scooter, Chu Zhu pondered for a moment before turning around and asking, "How much longer are you going to spy on us there?"

next moment.

Several heads peeked out silently from the corner. From top to bottom, they were Li Kang, Bi Xuan…

"Is it really necessary?" Ning Linglong was clearly speechless. She walked out from around the corner. She had already been spotted, so why was she still peeking around here?

However, Ning Linglong then looked at Chu Zhu, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Ah Zhu, you, you're so... very... very tempted by Miss Hai, aren't you?"

Even with her best efforts to suppress it, Ning Linglong's words still betrayed a hint of something amiss. She pondered sadly for a moment, realizing she had no chance against Miss Hai… She used to think Miss Lu was already a formidable opponent, but now it seemed Lu Muxue was nothing more than a scout for the throne! Being beautiful was one thing, but judging from her previous tone… she seemed to be a superhuman!
Although it's unclear whether she's a wild superhuman or from which faction... since they're both superhumans, the reason she used to comfort herself—that Lu Muxue and Chu Zhu are ultimately from different worlds—can no longer apply to Hai Mingyue.

And... that tone.

Does that mean she'd personally help Chu Zhu build his harem if Chu Zhu was willing? This...

Aren't you jealous at all?!

Ning Linglong was trembling with anger and coldness. She simply couldn't understand why Hai Mingyue, with her wealth and status, could accept such a thing. Because she knew she would be jealous, all she felt now was despair.

"So-so." Chu Zhu's tone was calm. He took out his phone and dialed Madam Xue's number: "I've received news that Xue Fusheng should..."

This phone call was, of course, to obtain from Shchef a promise similar to that in the previous timeline—that is, 30% would come true, or 10% would be proven true even if it didn't.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Zhu looked at the group of people whose expressions were now completely different.

“Uncle Li, now… once they mobilize over there, they should be able to find the injured escorts quickly!” Chu Zhu’s voice was calm. In this timeline, Li Kang hadn’t actually received any notification about this yet, which was why he was so relaxed.

He continued, "I just checked the airway; they should have been taken directly to the hospital in the second ward... Let's go there and check on the situation!"

“…Okay.” Li Kang nodded solemnly, inwardly marveling at the situation while also feeling shocked and even a little apprehensive.

Has Lu Jin stirred up a hornet's nest? Why are these demonic sects so unscrupulous, resorting to all sorts of underhanded tricks against Lu Jin?

And... do these demonic cult forces really not want to live anymore?!
Li Kang was completely unaware that what Madam Xue had instantly realized was no longer a problem between the government and the Demonic Cult... but a problem between government officials! At this moment, his thinking remained superficial.

……

Second District.

Happy Street.

Even though Lu Jin had officially approved the proposal to sweep through the entertainment district, the entertainment district was still bustling and prosperous, seemingly unaware that it was only a hair's breadth away from its annihilation.

Hai Mingyue stared coldly into the distance at a man whose face was covered in lipstick marks, who was leering and whose hands were occasionally roaming over the body of the beautiful woman beside him.

His features were handsome and refined. If it weren't for his pale complexion, dull eyes, and lewd manner, he would probably be considered a refined gentleman.

“…Proceed as planned!” Hai Mingyue waved her hand lightly, and a pretty woman immediately nodded. Then her expression suddenly changed, and she took out a small wine bottle from her waist, sprayed it lightly on herself, and smelled a little wine.

The pretty woman, as if drunk, swayed and walked forward. She was dressed elegantly, quite different from those glamorous women, and her demeanor suggested she was a virtuous woman.

Hai Mingyue looked into the distance. The man she had sent out had accidentally run into his "blood brother." As a result, he was immediately targeted by his brother, whose eyes gleamed with a lecherous light. He pretended to be a respectable person, but in reality, the slutty woman beside him hadn't left yet, and she hadn't even wiped the lipstick mark off his face.

"...Brother Chu was actually telling the truth!" Hai Mingyue's eyes flashed with a deep light. This was her second brother, a typical playboy who, although fond of womanizing, preferred respectable women. Most importantly, he was utterly brainless...

This was such a classic honey trap, yet this good brother didn't even notice anything amiss!
Even the way he looked at it made it seem like heaven was on my side...

“The most difficult one to deal with is the eldest brother! If everyone were like my good second brother, how wonderful that would be…” Hai Mingyue forcibly suppressed the urge to cover her forehead, and after thinking for a moment, she laughed, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Her good older brother can be said to have been the culmination of all of Hai Dangzhu's efforts.

He is indifferent to women, ruthless, and purely influenced by capitalism. He knows how to ruthlessly squeeze the last penny out of the bottom-level workers and even ordinary employees, and in the end, the employees are still grateful to him.

This kind older brother is currently hiding his identity and serving as the head of a department at the Hai family headquarters.

Even Chu Zhu said to her back then: "Flawless!"

This person looks neither like Old Man Hai's child, nor too much like Old Man Hai's son...

Having discarded all of Ebisu's flaws, he somehow managed to perfectly inherit all of his strengths. A born capitalist!
Originally, Hai Mingyue was a little conflicted. Since she couldn't find any flaws, how should she solve the problem? Then... she was directly confronted by Chu Zhu.

"Are you stupid! You just cleared out everything else... and then, for the last one, you could just go to the door and kill him outright, right?"

At that moment, Hai Mingyue was completely stunned. She almost instinctively wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it for a long time, she realized that this approach did indeed seem to have no problem.

She was limited to resolving everything within the rules before resorting to coercion. However, Chu Zhu believed that rules didn't matter; as long as victory was assured, it was worth overturning the table. At the time, Chu Zhu even muttered something she couldn't understand: "Eight hundred people it is, eight hundred people, strike first!"

Seeing her good second brother being bewitched by a respectable woman into the alley, Hai Mingyue sneered. Just as she was about to leave, she realized something, glanced at the still-open transvestite brothel in the distance, and a complicated look appeared in her eyes.

"Master, who... exactly are you..."

Chu Zhu's words seemed to still echo in her ears...

"Sowing discord! Humph!" Hai Mingyue pursed her lips, walked into the shadows of the alley, and never looked back.
