My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 20 White Wolf with Empty Gloves

“Master, shall we go now?” This time it was Zhang Xu’s voice. “That’s normal. According to the information we’ve gathered, Mr. Zhu carries the burden of the Sifang shantytown redevelopment area on his shoulders and has the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the shantytown redevelopment area in his heart. It’s normal for him to be busy! We’ve come at the wrong time.”

"No, no, no, faith in God cannot be relaxed! We will wait here and show our sincerity."

Chu Zhu narrowed his eyes. He suspected that Zhang Hai already knew he was at home, but he still didn't say anything.

Three hours passed before they could finish waiting.

Chu Zhu was genuinely in no hurry. He even hoped that Zhang Hai would wait until the unknown assassin attacked that night, and then have a proper confrontation with the assassin! He would observe from the sidelines and, incidentally, uncover the assassin's true identity.

“It seems we really have bad luck today,” Zhang Hai finally spoke, his voice tinged with a sigh. “Then let’s come again tomorrow! I believe that with Mr. Zhu’s influence, he will surely know we are coming. We must use our sincerity to move Mr. Zhu.”

After sensing that Zhang Hai had really left, Chu Zhu rubbed her temples. "Is he playing the role of 'Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage' here?"

“However! If that’s the case,” Chu Zhu shook her head, “there’s no way to rule out Zhang Hai as the suspect in the assassination attempt.”

After checking his equipment again, Chu Zhu got up and ate another meal. Then, he stared seriously at the door. He had locked all the windows in the house from the inside, and his ears were now sharp enough that anyone trying to break in wouldn't be able to hide it from him.

The time is drawing ever closer.

The door was silent. The windows were unharmed.

then……

A dark light flashed by.

Chu Zhu fired several shots with a backhand. Although he still couldn't see who the attacker was or how they had gotten into his house, he had basically pinpointed the attack's location and retreated rapidly. However, the black light actually circled in mid-air.

Chu Zhu: "???"

My neck was slashed!
Chu Zhu died with his eyes wide open, forcing his vision to focus, and saw the shadow wriggling in the corner...

……

Six o'clock in the morning.

Chu Zhu suddenly opened his eyes in his dormitory. The familiar snoring sound reached his ears, calming his restless mind. He didn't continue resetting, because he had already noticed his condition starting to decline...

It's already clear that we can't win, and my condition continues to decline. What's the point of fighting to the death? Plus, I'm almost at my limit of four or five more attempts... It's better to rest in the real world and recharge!

I got up, washed up, went back to the table, opened my notebook, and started scrolling through it.

First, Chu Zhu wrote down Li Kang's name, then put a big "X" next to it. Next, she wrote Zhang Hai and added a question mark. After hesitating for a moment, Chu Zhu wrote down a completely new name.

B2.

Chu Zhu had contact with B2 during a timeline reset in the dream sequence. B2 is a mentally unstable and insane man!

Chu Zhu didn't know much about him—a real madman, or rather, a guy who looked like a real madman. Even if Chu Zhu could reset, it would be difficult to get to the bottom of this guy's mind!

"But the problem is, I only saw him during the reset. In the dream world, I only indirectly inquired about him... The suspicion level is low, but there is one. As for the others..."

Chu Zhu felt a headache coming on. "There's also a small chance that the gangs I swept out of the shantytown redevelopment area have climbed up to some powerful force outside of Jinghai and are now coming back, but the probability of that is even lower than Zhang Hai's actions."

However, after considering it for a while, Chu Zhu gradually cleared her thoughts. "I can stay at the Jinghai Third Base for one night..."

As the saying goes, let heroes investigate heroes, and let good men do good men's work!
Next, it's time to see how strong the Commandant is. Fortunately, he's just an innocent civilian. This kind of ruthless, superhumanly powerful, and unbridled killer deserves a strong crackdown from the authorities!
"Perfect." Chu Zhu closed the notebook and casually tossed it into the drawer. Exposure? Just three names, what could they possibly reveal?
Then, he continued to go out for runs and exercise. Even though Chu Zhu had realized that after his body was strengthened, simple exercise could no longer improve his physique, and even if he didn't exercise, his physique would most likely not decline... it was still a good habit after all.

The second period in the afternoon.

Chu Zhu was attending her elective political education class when a group of people in formal attire squeezed into the room.

"Huh?" Chu Zhu was stunned for a moment, then realized that her class counselor was standing behind the leader, explaining with a smile on her face.

"Principal Li, what's going on here?" The political education teacher was also a bit confused. Was this a class observation? But he hadn't received any notification!
"We need to find someone!" the counselor said quickly, then her gaze swept around the classroom and quickly locked onto Chu Zhu. "Chu Zhu, come out for a moment, we need to discuss something with you!"

The moment Chu Zhu stood up, he enjoyed the spotlight.

……

“Hey classmate, is this you?” Zhang Song showed the video.

Looking at the man walking briskly above, Chu Zhu remained calm. "It's me!"

"Then, is this also you?" Zhang Song's face twisted slightly, and he tapped to bring up a brand new video. It was a video of Chu Zhu participating in the 100-meter sprint at last year's school sports meet, after being tricked by her own class monitor...

Ranked third!
"It was me too." Chu Zhu's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence. "Back then, I was still very slow!"

Zhang Song: "..."

That's a bit ridiculous! What do you mean by "still running slowly"...? Last year's school sports meet was in winter, which was only a few months ago. You've made leaps and bounds...

You haven't been acting out their school's story since you enrolled, have you?

"...Chu Zhu, do you... have any brothers?" the counselor asked tactfully.

“Alright,” Zhang Song interrupted the counselor, stepped forward and firmly grasped Chu Zhu’s hand, his gaze sincere and his voice earnest and excited, “Chu Zhu, if you really are both of them, then without a doubt, you are the sports prodigy we have been searching for with all our might!”

"So, please, would you be my student for life? I will do everything in my power to nurture you, train you, and send you to Los Angeles so that you can become the pride of Asians at the next Olympics!"

"Oh," Chu Zhu responded, then asked in return, "So, may I ask, what special status do you hold in our country's sports bureau?"

Zhang Song: "...Hmm?"

"It seems you don't hold a position at the State Sports Administration. So, what about at the sports administration bureau of our province or city?"

“…I have held a position before!” Zhang Song subconsciously shrank his neck, inexplicably feeling like he was being interviewed.

"So, you've retired? And now you're just a physical education teacher at our school?"

"Yes...that's how it is..."

"How about this? Becoming a champion isn't out of the question." Chu Zhu patted Zhang Song on the shoulder and said earnestly, "But Teacher Zhang, you can't just try to get something for nothing. Let's get the people from the State Sports Administration here first, and then we can have a proper talk... I think that shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
