My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 55 Mr. Bamboo

Within half an hour, these deputies quickly convened a meeting with the staff of their respective offices.

An hour later, the news spread throughout the shantytown where the union headquarters was located through the scattered union members, and martial law was imposed in the shantytown where the headquarters was located.

Two hours later, almost all the shantytown redevelopment areas throughout Jinghai City received the news and began to be sealed off.

Two and a half hours later, the workers who had already gone to work at the factory also began to receive the news and started to strike.

……

Inside the factory owner's office of the textile machinery manufacturing limited company in the industrial area of ​​the third district.

"You mean, more than two thousand of the factory's three thousand two hundred workers have gone on strike?" Factory owner Hai Tie's face was ashen. He was a portly man whose round belly rose and fell with anger as his exquisite Tang suit accentuated his ample figure. "They've rebelled! They've rebelled! They've truly rebelled against heaven!"

"Who is organizing this? This is disrupting production! I'm going to take this to the Third District Government..."

"Mr. Hai, please be careful what you say." His secretary quickly stopped him, speaking cautiously with a hint of timidity. "It is said, it is said that... it was the order given by the director of the shantytown renovation area!"

"Hmm... Zhou Ze?" Hai Tie instantly calmed down. "If it's him... Damn it, what kind of trouble is the shantytown redevelopment area union causing now!"

"Alright, please make an appointment with Deputy Director-General Li for me today..."

"No!" The secretary wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and added, "It seems, it seems to be that Mr. Zhu!"

At this moment, Hai Tie fell silent.

His face gradually turned pale, and his body began to tremble.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the secretary cautiously asked, "Then, shall we go to the district government to file a complaint next..."

"Wait, don't rush me!" Hai Tie was somewhat out of control. He slammed his hand on the table, making the heavy wooden table tremble. Then, noticing the shock in his secretary's eyes, he realized his loss of composure, forced himself to calm down for a moment, and said, "Let me think... let me think carefully!"

Hai Tie paced back and forth in his office, muttering to himself, "That living devil! Wasn't he supposed to have stepped down? Why is he getting involved again... Damn it! He should have just retired properly! Why does he have to cause trouble again..."

"No, I can't stay here!" Hai Tiejiao suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and said, "Get out of here! To the district government! Immediately. This place is no longer safe..."

……

Entrance to the Third District Police Department.

Li Kang crossed his arms, staring with a complex expression at the steam-powered vehicles that drove into the yamen (government office), occasionally interspersed with two oddly shaped electric cars—

Their appearance, so different from that of real cars, suggests that they are relics from ancient times.

"What, someone called the police again? Keep making excuses, just say we're very busy right now and need to maintain basic order in the wealthy area, the government offices, and the city!" Bi Xuan finished another call, his face stiff and numb.

The police station has been receiving non-stop calls for the past hour!
It's important to understand that those who own mobile phones are generally from the wealthy class. In the entire city of Jinghai, this group is relatively small, representing a very small percentage.

But you absolutely need a phone to call him... which shows the problem.

Normally, I wouldn't get more than two phone calls a day, but now, the phone keeps ringing...

Almost instantly, Bi Xuan's phone rang again. A look of despair appeared in his eyes as he looked with difficulty at Ning Linglong and Guan Fei: Seniors, please save me! However, neither of them even glanced at him.

Newcomers have no rights!

While secretly grieving, Bi Xuan answered the phone again.

“…This, this, this! What is this?!” Ning Linglong was still trying to sort out her thoughts, her face full of confusion.

She still doesn't understand what happened...

After all, she had just gotten up at six o'clock, finished getting ready, and was about to have breakfast before going to work! Then... Li Kang called her cell phone.

Upon arriving at the police station, before they could even gather much information, they witnessed this unbelievable scene—

It's like taking a nap, and the tension in the entire city instantly increased by a hundred points!
Is there going to be a war? The thing is, she didn't hear anything chaotic before she went to bed last night...

Guan Fei remained calm, or rather, he already knew some of the information when he left home. He muttered to himself, "Won't things repeat themselves from five years ago? This..."

"It's probably much more serious than that!" Li Kang lit a cigarette but didn't smoke it, just stared at the smoke quietly.

He doesn't actually smoke, but he'll light one up when he's under too much pressure!
"You know?" Ning Linglong immediately turned her gaze over.

"Such a large-scale redevelopment project in the shantytown area can only be accomplished by two people!" Guan Fei interjected, his face showing an ambiguous expression. "One is Mr. Zhu, and the other is Director Zhou!"

"Considering that Mr. Zhu is still in the underground base, he should be the Director General..."

“It was Chu Zhu who did it… He’s not at the underground base right now!” Li Kang interrupted Guan Fei, his face showing deep exhaustion. “Zhou Ze is dead. And… according to the information I’ve received, he must have died a pretty gruesome death.”

At that moment, the scene was deathly silent.

Guan Fei froze. Bi Xuan stared blankly; he didn't know Zhou Ze, and his knowledge of Chu Zhu was limited to her connections with everyone present, and she seemed to have considerable influence in the shantytown redevelopment area…

But looking at the current situation, he realized that he seemed to have a slight misunderstanding about Chu Zhu's status in the shantytown renovation area.

and also……

Bi Xuan blinked, her gaze drifting uncontrollably to the side. Why was Guan Fei standing there like a statue, completely motionless?

Before he could even vent his frustration, the phone rang again.

Bi Xuan's eye twitched, and she put on her mask of pain again, mechanically answering the phone and saying the words she had said countless times before.

"I'm very sorry, the police force of the Inspectorate is currently being used to..."

Suddenly, Li Kang's phone rang. His expression changed!
The phone call Li Kang received was not the same as the one Bi Xuan was answering. After all, Bi Xuan was answering an internal landline within the Police Supervision Bureau. To put it bluntly, although those who own a mobile phone or a landline are considered wealthy in Jinghai City and mostly live in affluent areas, in the official definition of their status, they can only be considered citizens!
However, those who could get through to Li Kang on the phone were either acquaintances of his or his superiors.

In the current situation, the caller's identity is obvious!
"This is Li Kang!" Li Kang answered the phone. "Yes, yes, I am absolutely certain! He did indeed report to me. I reported to the district government of the Third District according to what we discussed... Yes, that's how it was passed down to you step by step!"
