My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 300 Mexico City: Undercurrents (Fourth Update)

Four p.m.

Chu Zhu and Huo Qisi left the airport and landed in Mexico City.

Huo Qisi swiped his phone screen, looking at the top-ranking news on the X platform about Chu Zhu's arrest, as well as the various disturbances and protests within the United States... his expression was complicated.

Having followed Chu Zhu from beginning to end and knowing all the inside stories, Huo Qisi looked at his current location and the boiling public opinion on the Internet, and a strong sense of separation welled up in his heart: "Is it really... out like this?"

“You have three options right now!” Chu Zhu said calmly.

"...Huh? Ah!" Huo Qisi suddenly realized, quickly put away his phone, and pretended to listen attentively.

"First: I'll take you to the embassy! The embassy can guarantee your safety to a certain extent, but it cannot guarantee your safety absolutely."

"Second: I'll book you a plane ticket back to China now! If all goes well, you should be back in China tomorrow. If I save your daughter, you'll be reunited with her..."

“Third,” Chu Zhu gave Huo Qisi a deep look, and said succinctly, “Come with me!”

“…I,” Hotz opened his mouth, but finally gritted his teeth and said, “I choose the third one.”

Even though he knew the third one was the most dangerous!

However, if his daughter can return home safely, he can naturally go with her... If his daughter dies, he doesn't want to live anymore... And if he goes with her the whole way, what if the situation gets tense and someone has to cut off the road... He's willing to cut off the road if it can save his daughter!

Nodding, Chu Zhu thought for a moment, then dialed a number. After a few rings, a tired and confused voice came through: "...Who are you?"

“I have some information about the missing state-owned enterprise workers!” Chu Zhu said slowly and deliberately. “Mr. Zhang, let’s talk outside. You can bring security personnel! The location is the coffee shop you frequent, across from the embassy. Shall we set the time for five o’clock?”

After a long silence, Mr. Zhang said in a low voice, "You should understand that I cannot accept such suspicion..."

Chu Zhu didn't intend to listen to the other person finish speaking and hung up the phone. He knew the other person's situation all too well... he understood how much trouble this state-owned enterprise worker's disappearance case had caused them.

After all, these state-owned enterprise workers are all on the payroll, and the entire process was coordinated by the embassy... In this situation, their disappearance makes the other party directly responsible...

Chu Zhu read the diary so many times in her dream. Although the middle part of the diary was basically removed, the early part was basically fine. So, although it was Chu Zhu's first time in Mexico City, she could be said to be very familiar with the place.

Chu Zhu naturally got into the luxury car in front of him, which was part of the shuttle service provided by the local luxury hotel he had booked. However, it must be said that the persona Chu Zhu was currently presenting did indeed give him a certain air of superiority in Mexico City.

……

Mix Station Cafe. Mr. Zhang frowned, his fingers tapping lightly on the table. Beside him stood a burly man with a buzz cut and a wary expression. The man's gaze swept across the room, and almost no one dared to meet his eyes.

Suddenly, the wind chimes rang as they entered the room.

A blond, blue-eyed young man looked around the scene, his gaze landing on Mr. Zhang. He raised an eyebrow and quickly walked over with the Jewish man behind him.

"The person who called earlier... was that you?" Mr. Zhang narrowed his eyes, his heart tightening. This person's appearance was too perfect. So perfect, it was as if he had been sculpted from a template!

With blond hair and blue eyes, a refined demeanor, and a face sculpted like marble, sharp and handsome, he was clearly no ordinary person… Mr. Zhang had met many people and even traveled to major North American countries. He suspected that the man before him was an old money-grubber from some powerful North American family!
So... this whole thing really is related to that country to the north of Mexico...?

"Contact the state-owned enterprise where the workers are missing! Send dozens of buses to..." Chu Zhu paused briefly, then swiped her finger lightly on her phone. Mr. Zhang's phone chimed, and he glanced at it instinctively. It was a text message with the exact location and time: "Hmm, it's still quite far... over a hundred kilometers! Considering the time it takes you to contact them... I've calculated it, more than enough!"

"Then we'll be able to bring them back!" Chu Zhu said lightly. "Of course, you might face pressure from all sides at that time... but as long as we're in the right, you should be able to handle it, right?"

After a brief pause, Chu Zhu added, "Don't worry, I'll handle the underlying issues and the drug dealer problem..."

"???" Mr. Zhang was stunned. After sorting through his thoughts for a while, astonishment appeared on his face, and he almost exclaimed, "How could you..."

"Shh!" Chu Zhu put a finger to his lips and said in a joking tone, "That's why I said we're on the same side... Have your people around you... and those hiding nearby, all leave! Don't even think about capturing me... or interrogating me for information."

"As an aside, although I know what happened... this whole thing has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

After a brief pause, Chu Zhu leaned closer. Though her lips didn't move, her calm words rang in Mr. Zhang's ears: "Just to add, the 'group' expected to arrive at 3 PM the day after tomorrow... is the one coming to pick me up! So... you understand now, right?"

Mr. Zhang's pupils dilated sharply. He opened his mouth, almost wanting to ask, "How did you know...?" However, reason made him swallow all his words!

He pondered for a long time, realized something, and gave Chu Zhu, who had sat back down, a deep look. He then made a gesture to the person behind him, who looked understanding.

"Alright!" Mr. Zhang took a deep breath. "I'm willing to cooperate! Is there anything else you need me to do?"

"That's fine then," Chu Zhu replied calmly.

Yes, Mr. Zhang does know that a group of special people will be arriving at 3 PM the day after tomorrow! However, he will only be responsible for receiving this group. As for what their duties are and what they will be doing... his superiors have stated that this is confidential!

Mr. Zhang was actually quite uneasy, after all, his position was somewhat sensitive. If these people really did something unimaginable in this city and it was exposed... then the trouble would be enormous!
And he was very strange... This behavior didn't seem to fit the usual way of doing things in his "hometown".
But... Mr. Zhang now keenly realizes that the situation doesn't seem to be as he had previously thought.

“Well,” Mr. Zhang looked directly into Chu Zhu’s eyes, and although he was still somewhat uneasy, he could only say, “I’ll leave it to you.”
