My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 239 Meeting with President Su (Second Update)

“But then, he must be nearby right now!” Huo Qiming said firmly, his gaze falling on Zhou Ze, a hint of regret in his eyes, but his words were resolute: “I have to kill General Manager Zhou… otherwise, that guy could see us right now…”

"Wait a moment." Chu Zhu gestured to stop him, looking directly into Zhou Ze's lifeless eyes, and asked, "Can you speak?"

Zhou Ze didn't speak, but Chu Zhu wasn't in a hurry either. She said slowly, "I control a corner of omniscience. I know what you're going to do on this land next... You can also tell who I am just by looking at my face!"

"I command you." Chu Zhu tilted her head, though inwardly somewhat hesitant, her words were firm, carrying an air of composure and naturalness: "Die!"

"Everything... is for a great cause."

Huo Qiming: "???"

The tone of your voice right now... he felt something was off.

Huo Qiming hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

then……

Huo Qiming then saw Zhou Ze's body tremble, his eyes shining with excitement. He looked deeply at Chu Zhu, his eyes filled with excitement and doubt, and his voice trembled as he said, "...Holy Son! Is it really you?"

"It's me." Chu Zhu nodded without blushing at all.

"..." After hesitating for a while, Zhou Ze finally spoke, "Although it cannot be confirmed yet! But... um, please forgive me for not being able to follow all your orders!"

Zhou Ze said respectfully, “In the future, when you return, I will follow all your orders… But for now, please allow me to carry out the instructions indirectly.”

The next moment, Zhou Ze's body trembled violently, and ghostly white flames burned on his body.

He actually perished in self-immolation... In just a few breaths, only a few specks of white ash remained on the spot.

"..." Chu Zhu's face was icy. So they actually resorted to such a clever tactic? Fine, at least this shows that the title of Holy Son indeed has a very high deterrent effect on Eleven!

Ok?
Suddenly realizing something, Chu Zhu rushed outside and saw...

The many soldiers of the defense regiment who had been killed by the drones and were lying on the ground convulsing were now burning with ghostly flames.

“…Damn it!” Chu Zhu gritted his teeth and went to open the offices one by one. He found that in the end, about one-tenth of the union’s middle and senior management had all died by self-immolation!

Sure enough… Chu Zhu realized that Eleven's supernatural power was like a cockroach. Once you see one, you should realize that countless cockroaches have already multiplied in the dark corners…

Huo Qiming: "..."

Huo Qiming was currently gathering his thoughts, and finally looked at Chu Zhu, hesitant to speak. "Wait, you really are the Holy Son? Then what are you playing at right now?"

"...I was just fooling him!" Before Huo Qiming could even ask, Chu Zhu seemed to understand his confusion and gave the answer.

"..." Huo Qiming nodded expressionlessly. He really wanted to believe Chu Zhu. But...

Why did you, with just one sentence, cause the other side to hand over all of its operations in the shantytown redevelopment area's trade union?!

He simply couldn't imagine what the guild would have become if the other side hadn't pulled this stunt and Chu Zhu had left so quickly afterward... Even if they had seemingly taken it back, the other side could still have easily manipulated it if they wanted to.

Huo Qiming looked at Chu Zhu, set things right, rescued Li Xuan and the others, confirmed that they were not dead and that their mental state was normal, handed the guild back to them, activated the emergency preparedness plan, left ten attack drones behind, and quickly left the guild headquarters.

Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation!"

"What explanation do you want?" Chu Zhu's steps did not falter in the slightest. "Explain that I am actually an undercover agent of the Omnipotent faction! Explain that I don't actually need to hold Omnipotent back at all... I just need to delay your progress here, is that enough? Explain that my previous actions actually handed the guild over to Eleven completely?"

"..." Huo Qiming instantly deflated. Okay, this really doesn't make sense. Oh well! It's good to be confused sometimes.

"So, where do we go next?" Huo Qiming asked again.

Chu Zhu sat in the passenger seat of the electric scooter Huo Qiming had driven, her voice completely calm: "First District, Municipal Government!"

……

City government office.

Inside the office.

Su Zhizheng adjusted his reading glasses, gazing thoughtfully at the report: "Hai Mingyue... has taken over?"

"Hmph, old man! I never thought something like this would happen to your Hai family." Su Zhizheng looked up, able to see the towering Hai family building in the distance through the window. The "old man" he was referring to was naturally not Hai Mingyue's father... but Hai Mingyue's grandfather! The current Grand Elder of the largest faction in the Hai family, and the former head of the Hai family.

“However, Chu Zhu!” After a brief silence, Su Zhizheng pulled out a photo from the drawer. In the photo, he was smiling and carrying a fishing rod, Hu Kaikang was still fishing in the distance with indignation, and Chu Zhu was carrying a large bucket of fish with a nonchalant expression.

"In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed!"

Su Zhizheng sighed. He pounded his lower back and said, "These are turbulent times!"

He glanced at the table; despite his best efforts, the sheer volume of official documents kept piling up… Governor Su shook his head. He simply didn't have the time to go fishing now!
The gate suddenly opened.

Su frowned. "Xiao Li, it shouldn't be time for the meeting yet..."

Su Zhizheng stopped speaking and narrowed his eyes, staring at Chu Zhu, Lu Jin, and Huo Qiming who walked in side by side.

Su tapped the table lightly with his left hand, casually tossing the photo he was holding in his right hand onto the table, and said in a calm tone, "You've come at quite the right time!"

"President Su!" Lu Jin's face showed a respectful yet polite smile. The "President" symbolized the other party's top leadership position!
Only the highest-ranking official in a region can be given this title... Not only regional governors, but also provincial governors can be given the title of "General"!

"Let's be frank, Old Su!" Chu Zhu spoke directly, and this form of address almost made Lu Jin lose his temper. No, normally when you called him Old Lu, he'd tolerate it out of courtesy and for his daughter's sake... at most, he'd consider you a future son-in-law... But how dare you treat Su Zhizheng like this? This is...

"Little Bamboo!" Su Zhizheng sighed, "Speak!"

"I just hope... you're not naively thinking that you can just pull these few people around you over, put me under house arrest... and then submit a report to the capital! You think you can smoothly take over the entire Jinghai City and then carry out your reforms."
