My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 24 Democratic Voting
"How should I know? It's because B2 betrayed you!" Chu Zhu said with a smile. "No way, someone would really be so brazen as to rob a bank without considering any escape routes or other possibilities, right? You guys are even less intelligent than pigs!"

“B2 has three plans in his hands, and you are just bait for his plans.”

“As long as you get what he wants, then the final result will be…” Chu Zhu made a shooting gesture, aimed at the dog-headed man, and made the onomatopoeic sound of firing a gun, “biu.”

What Chu Zhu said is true.

There was a previous instance where the dog-headed man's team, after succeeding in their robbery, met with B2 and were wiped out. As for how Chu Zhu knew this—it's because during that wipeout, he infiltrated the dog-headed man's team, and thus ended up going to heaven with the robbers.

Upon hearing this, the dog-headed man's pupils contracted.

"Alright, please be quiet for a moment!"

The dog-headed man remained silent, racking his brains but unable to figure out how to break the deadlock. He was also puzzled, wondering why, even though the gun was in Chu Zhu's hands, Chu Zhu wouldn't give him and the still-capable Big C a gun each, instead slowly explaining the truth behind the scenes.

Finally, on the other side, the people inside the bank realized what was happening, and an uproar ensued.

Many people fled the bank in panic, scattering like a mob.

Many staff members remained inside the bank, and the atmosphere was chaotic and filled with fear. After a long while, some finally mustered the courage to try again.

"...Sir!" The bank security guard's legs trembled as he gripped his baton and cautiously moved to a spot not far from Chu Zhu, but he was also prepared to flee at any moment. "You, you are..."

"Alright, stop bothering him!" Lu Muxue's voice came from the bank entrance. She was standing there, staring at Chu Zhu with a complicated expression. "If it weren't for him, we might all be dead by now... So, let's not cause him any more trouble at a time like this!"

Lu Muxue took out a black card from her handbag and waved it at the security guard. "You can leave now!"

Upon seeing the black card, the security guard immediately realized what was happening, nodded gratefully, and hurriedly ran back to the bank.

Lu Muxue scrutinized Chu Zhu repeatedly, hesitating for a long time, but ultimately didn't ask the question that was on her mind. She turned around and went back to the bank. Just as she had told the security guard, she could ask questions anytime. In the meantime, before things were settled, the only thing they could do was not to cause trouble for those who were actually doing the work.

“Brother…” the dog-headed man suddenly spoke up, “I don’t understand why someone as talented as you would specifically wait for us, but I think you’re probably not with the police, right?”

Chu Zhu didn't answer, but the dog-headed man got more and more excited: "Regardless of whether B2 has a conspiracy or not, with your abilities, why don't you team up with us and rob some money! We won't steal the item B2 wants, we'll just take some money. I have an escape route... and most of it will be..."

"Alright... stop talking about that carriage behind the bank!" Chu Zhu said expressionlessly, aiming his gun again. "If you don't understand quiet, then I know a little about marksmanship!"

Dog-headed man: "..."

Only a short while later, a steam-powered vehicle, flashing its warning lights and spewing thick steam, came to a loud bang in front of the bank.

“…What are you doing!” Li Kang got out of the car, staring at Chu Zhu with a complicated expression, hesitant to speak.

"Uncle Li, I guess I did a good job this time?" Chu Zhu smiled freely and jumped out of the car. "Give me a spot as an auxiliary police officer! I want to join you guys... By the way, if nothing unexpected happens, I should have reached the first stage of Body Refinement." It wasn't that Chu Zhu really wanted to be an auxiliary police officer! The main thing was that with this title, he could freeload off the base for a long time—and precisely because the position was easy, it wouldn't be a problem whether he resigned later or took the civil service exam to become a full-fledged officer; he could advance or retreat as needed.

Li Kang: "..."

The amount of information was too much for Li Kang to handle, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

“…Sir!” The obese man stared sternly at Chu Zhu. “I think you should explain yourself first…”

"Guan Fei," Chu Zhu said softly, "I feel you don't respect me much. You're even unwilling to call me Mr. Zhu!"

"Mr. Zhu? How dare you call yourself... um?" Guan Fei's anger had only just begun to flare up when he looked at Chu Zhu's face with suspicion and cold sweat broke out on his brow. He forced a smile and said, "Oh, it's you, sir! I'm sorry, I've never seen you before... I'm a little rude! Hahahaha."

Guan Fei came from a shantytown redevelopment area, but not the one where Chu Zhu lived; it was the neighboring one. Shantytown redevelopment areas are a collective term for scattered, unconnected shantytown redevelopment zones throughout the city.

Therefore, Guan Fei had never met Chu Zhu, but that didn't prevent him from knowing who Chu Zhu was, what achievements the person in front of him had made, and what the person in front of him meant to the people in the shantytown redevelopment area...

To put it bluntly, if he dares to disrespect Chu Zhu, he can forget about ever coming home again. His father, his mother, and his grandfather, who have all received favors from Chu Zhu, could take turns whipping him like a top!
Even the villagers who watched him grow up would spit on his front door when they passed by...

Guan Fei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his smile becoming even more obsequious: "No, sir, it's too much of a waste of your talent to ask for an auxiliary police position... With your qualifications and abilities, I think you'd be more than qualified to be the captain of the Jinghai City headquarters! If you were to run for office, I would be the first to vote for you."

"..." Li Kang's face darkened. He slapped Guan Fei on the head, and the angrier he got, so he slapped him again, cursing as he did so, "Captain, Captain, I'll teach you a lesson, Captain!"

Li Kang was merely the captain of the special operations team in the Third District, while Guan Fei had made Chu Zhu his superior.

"Linglong, long time no see! You've grown so much. You should have a good chat with Brother Ning!" Chu Zhu turned around, raised her hand and sighed, "Last time I was drinking with Brother Ning, he got drunk, cursing his boss one minute, cursing the government the next, and then he cried and told me that I'd never get married... He even wanted to drag me to a blind date with you! Honestly, we're close friends despite the age gap, and he actually wants to be my father-in-law!"

Ning Linglong: "???"

You…could it be…wait! Ning Linglong’s delicate body trembled, her thoughts in disarray, as if she had realized something.

Finally, Chu Zhu's gaze fell on a young man. The young man's expression was stiff. He first looked cautiously at Li Kang, then at his two seniors. After realizing what was happening, he immediately raised his hands and said, "I will resolutely obey all orders from my superiors!"

"Captain, give the order." Chu Zhu nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Li Kang with a grin. "If it's a democratic vote, everyone in your team agrees! I don't think you'll use your veto power, will you..."

"You, me, this!" Li Kang felt utterly bewildered and confused. Where was he? What was he doing? What had happened? Why had Chu Zhu taken care of all his men after he had only been in a daze for a moment?
Moreover, given the current situation, why does he feel that his subordinates listen to Chu Zhu more than he does?

If Chu Zhu were to join... even if she were just an auxiliary police officer, wouldn't she be able to sideline him?
