Chapter 130 The Finale: The Police Station Needs Someone Like You...

She traveled through time for three days and suddenly had a mother?!

Chu Ci stared at her with wide eyes, never expecting that a joke she made casually a couple of days ago would come true so quickly.

She scanned the woman up and down, then her gaze fell on the men and women behind her.

Seeing her look over, the middle-aged man behind the middle-aged woman stepped forward, pointing at himself with trembling hands.

"Daughter, it's your father!"

With him taking the lead, the rest of the people stepped forward one after another.

"Little sister, I'm your older brother!"

"Sister, I'm your second brother!"

"It's me, the third brother! Sister, we've finally found you!"

The youngest boy was only fifteen or sixteen years old. He pointed at the old woman sitting in the shop and spoke fiercely.

"It's all that old hag's fault! It's all her fault for not letting us see you, otherwise our family would have been reunited long ago!"

"Sister!" He came up and tried to grab Chu Ci's hand.

"Is this your store? It's so big and beautiful!"

"Our family is reunited now. Get rid of that old hag, and we'll all live here together!"

Chu Ci looked at the light in his eyes and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Who are you? You come up here and call me 'sister'? You want to stay at my house?"

Why should I let you live in my house?

The third brother panicked, "Sister, we're family! Of course we should live together!"

Chu Ci: "Who said we're family? You come up here claiming we're family, what proof do you have?"

"My daughter, we look so alike, that's proof!"

The middle-aged woman who had almost pushed the old lady over came closer and pointed to her own face.

She and Chu Ci do look alike, but she doesn't have Chu Ci's features as delicate.

As the middle-aged woman spoke, she pulled over a girl who hadn't said a word behind her.

"Daughter, look, this is your sister! Look at the two of you, how alike you are!"

As she spoke, she slapped her silent daughter and shouted, "Are you mute? Call me 'sister'!"

The girl called her "sister," but she wasn't satisfied and slapped her daughter again.

"Lift your face up and let your sister see you, see how much you look like her!"

The girl shrank back, raised her head, glanced quickly at Chu Ci, and then quickly lowered her head again.

Although it was just a fleeting glance, Chu Ci had to admit that the girl did indeed look like her.

"They do look alike."

"Right?" The middle-aged woman was pleased.

Wiping away her tears again, she said, "Daughter, we really are your parents!"

She pointed to her large family, "We came from the countryside just to see you."

She pulled her youngest son aside, saying, "Your third brother didn't mean any harm; he just wanted to reunite with your family."

"Look how big your shop is, it's no problem for a few of us to stay here. Why don't you let us stay here tonight?"

She wiped away her tears. "The hotels in the city are too expensive. We really don't have any money left."

Before Chu Ci could agree, the third brother cheered and ran into the shop.

"Sis, I want the best room!"

He pushed open the shop door with a loud laugh, "I want all my classmates to come and visit my shop, so they'll all envy me."

"I'll be rich from now on!"

The middle-aged woman listened to her son's words, then carefully glanced at Chu Ci's expression. Seeing that Chu Ci didn't speak, she smiled.

He glanced at his grandmother, whose hair was already gray, and smiled, "Our family should be all together."

She glanced at the shop with the sign that read "Hoping to Grow Old Together" (meaning "hoping to grow old together"), and smiled as she pulled her husband over.

“Daughter, your grandmother is getting old. It wasn’t easy raising you. Why don’t you let her enjoy her retirement?”

“Your father and I are still young, we'll do the work for her.”

"I heard your grandma didn't let you go to university? That won't do. Girls need to study hard so they can get married in the future. Otherwise, their husband's family will look down on them."

"You can leave the shop to me and your dad, then go to school without worry!"

Listening to the woman's incessant chatter in his ear, Chu Ci couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

I really don't know if this person is too stupid or too impatient.

Saying such things right after meeting them, does she really think she's blind and can't see what their intentions are?

Seeing that Chu Ci remained silent, the middle-aged woman took it as a tacit agreement.

They led their whole family into the store, touching and looking at everything inside, and one of them even took out a box containing money.

He Lihua was extremely anxious and frustrated. "Aci! You can't let them do this!"

“You can’t just say they’re your parents because they look alike. There are plenty of people in the world who look alike. We need to provide evidence!”

"And look at their family, this..."

He Lihua was furious when she saw the family's youngest son take the money from the box and stuff it into his pocket.

"What kind of child is this! Doesn't he have any manners at all?!"

She rolled up her sleeves, ready to teach the family a lesson, but Chu Ci stopped her.

"Don't go yet, I'll call the police first."

She walked to a public phone booth and called the police to report that her shop had been robbed by a family.

He Lihua stared at her in astonishment and silently gave her a thumbs up.

Soon, the police arrived and took the family, who were crying and screaming, away.

The person leading the group was Ji Jingtong. He glanced at the group of people who claimed to be Chu Ci's relatives and asked Chu Ci:

What's going on?

"I don't know either. They insisted they were my relatives and started robbing me as soon as they entered my shop."

Chu Ci pointed to his third brother, who was crying and shouting that he didn't want to get into the police car.

"He still had the money he stole from my store in his pocket!"

Ji Jingtong understood her meaning and nodded.

"Okay, we will handle it according to regulations."

Chu Ci saw them off and hurried to check on Grandma's condition.

"Grandma, are you alright?"

Grandma shook her head, looked at the group of people shouting and yelling, and couldn't help but sigh.

“Ah Ci, they are not good people, you must not believe them.”

“They came to me before, asking me to help pay the bride price for their eldest son, which is why I chased them away.”

"I didn't expect them to do it again today..."

Chu Ci interrupted Grandma's explanation and rubbed her shoulders.

"Grandma, I know. You raised me from a young age, you must have wanted me to have a good life."

“I know that family came to me for money, and I can’t give them money.”

Grandma sighed, "I'm afraid you'll soften your heart!"

"I've seen plenty of people like them; they're always taking advantage of others."

"Once you give them money today, you'll never get rid of them for the rest of your life."

This family is like a bunch of scoundrels.

Even if you don't give them money, they'll still stick to you like glue.

Seeing that her grandmother was worried about her, Chu Ci smiled.

"Grandma, don't worry, I have plenty of ways to deal with them."

On her first night back from her time travel, she, along with the fat monk and Shen Zaikun, went to the underworld to send ghosts away.

Noticing that there was a fierce and vengeful ghost among the group of ghosts, Chu Ci immediately had an idea.

That night, he took the vengeful ghost to the police station, scaring the family so much that they screamed in terror.

As for the timid and shy girl inside, she deliberately avoided her.

After a night of howling and wailing, the family couldn't take it anymore the next day.

You need to be alive to enjoy money, right?

If you're killed by a ghost, having money is useless!

The family was to return to their hometown the very day they were released.

Chu Ci was worried that they valued money more than their lives, so he threatened them several times until they fled back to the countryside.

【Host! 】

The system was happy and kept talking to her.

Now that we've finished what we did in another world, shouldn't we start working on changing this one too?

Chu Ci ate breakfast while sitting in the shop, pondering the system's words.

The world is so chaotic that it's difficult for her to change it on her own.

If you want to change the world, you either need to gather the strength of many people or stand tall enough yourself.

Furthermore, we must focus on improving the overall quality of life for all citizens and correcting the unhealthy trends and practices throughout the city...

"System, I think I can't open a shop anymore, I need to get into the system."

The system considered the situation for a moment and concluded, "If the host joins the police station, doing various things will indeed be more convenient."

But the question is, how does she get in?

Originally, I planned to use Wu Jiangxue or Ji Jingtong's connections to start as a special consultant.

Let's see if there's a chance to get a permanent position in the future.

But to her surprise, she got her chance the very next day.

While she was reading the birth chart of a new customer in the shop, she received a call from Wu Jiangxue.

"Aci, could you come over here for a moment? I've run into a bit of trouble."

Wu Jiangxue couldn't say much over the phone, so she just sent someone to pick her up.

When Chu Ci arrived at the location, he realized that what had stumped the officers was a coffin.

Wu Jiangxue looked at the coffin covered in mud and sighed.

"We were investigating a kidnapping case, and we finally found the person, only to discover that they had been nailed into a coffin."

An officer standing nearby added, "We have now confirmed that the victim was nailed into this coffin and is still alive."

"But this coffin is like poison; anyone who touches it will faint. We've already had three or four colleagues pass out."

As he spoke, he used himself as an experiment, reaching out to touch the lid of the coffin.

The moment his hand touched the coffin lid, he felt as if he had been electrocuted, jolted violently, and fell down with his eyes rolled back.

His colleagues quickly took him to the hospital.

Wu Jiangxue said helplessly, "That's just how it is; no one can touch it."

Chu Ci circled the coffin twice and noticed a small, barely noticeable ghost at the bottom of the coffin.

Upon seeing her, the little devil bared his teeth at her.

Chu Ci glanced at the brat's distorted face and snorted coldly.

He drew the Soul-Hooking Rope from his waist and swung it at the little devil. After a scream, the little devil was bound into a ball.

"Hey, Aci, don't go over there!"

Chu Ci tried to open the coffin, but Wu Jiangxue stopped him.

"It's alright." Chu Ci waved her hand, signaling her to move away.

He reached out and placed his hand on the coffin.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

A full half minute passed, and Chu Ci still didn't feel any discomfort.

She turned to the officer beside her and held out her hand, "Do you have any tools to open the coffin?"

The officer was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and looked at her with admiration.

"have!"

They handed her the tools to open the coffin, and under the admiring gazes of the officers, she easily pried open the coffin.

The person inside the coffin had gone into a coma due to lack of oxygen, but fortunately, the rescue was timely and they still showed signs of life.

After getting the person onto the ambulance, Wu Jiangxue breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at her with a smile.

"Seriously, Ah-Tzu, why don't you come work at our police station?"

As she spoke, she went to the car, grabbed an envelope, and handed it to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci took it. "What is it?"

She opened the envelope and saw a stack of hundred-yuan bills.

Looking at Wu Jiangxue in surprise, Wu Jiangxue shrugged.

"The reward that we agreed on before, the one that I applied for for you."

She hooked her arm around Chu Ci's shoulder and said with a smile, "Come work at our police station. I'll apply for the best treatment for you."

“Okay.” Chu Ci put away the envelope containing the money. “I was just thinking of trying out a new job.”

Wu Jiangxue: "..."

She almost thought she had misheard.

"Chu Ci, are you serious? You're not joking, you really intend to come and try your luck at our police station?"

"real!"

Chu Ci patted the pocket that held the money.

"When are you going to report to the police station? How about tomorrow?"

Worried that she might change her mind, Wu Jiangxue quickly agreed.

"It's a deal, tomorrow it is!"

Upon returning home, Chu Ci immediately shared the news with his grandmother that he was going to report to the police station.

Grandma raised both hands and feet in agreement.

"Police are good; they provide stability and a respectable job."

But to their surprise, the former director came to their shop that very afternoon.

Chu Ci stared blankly at Wu Jiangxue, who sighed helplessly.

“I told you to come to the police station to report tomorrow, but the old chief insisted on picking you up today.”

"He's afraid you'll change your mind, so he insists on having you start the job today."

The old director rolled his eyes at her, and Wu Jiangxue quickly straightened up and stood up straight.

"Hello Chu Ci, I will be your boss from now on."

The old director, who had previously disbelieved in ghosts and gods, smiled and reached out his hand, shaking Chu Ci's hand vigorously.

"We warmly welcome you to work at our police station. Our police station needs talented people like you!"
