Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

As the population dwindled, Bai Xiuzhu panicked.

"Hey, you stinky-footed patrolman, where are you taking? Stop the car!"

Shen Hao looked completely innocent and said, "How do I brake? I don't know how."

Bai Xiuzhu glared at Shen Hao and said, "Stop pretending with me. You can drive, so how come you can't park? Stop the car now, or I'll have my brother deal with you when we get back."

Seeing that Shen Hao remained unmoved, Bai Xiuzhu became anxious.

"You bastard, what exactly do you want?"

Shen Hao, with Bai Xiuzhu by his side, soon arrived at the foot of the mountain in the suburbs.

After parking the car, Shen Hao opened the door and said, "Alright, get out now."

Bai Xiuzhu glared angrily at Shen Hao and said, "I'm not going down. Who knows what bad things you're up to? You're rotten to the core!"

Seeing Bai Xiuzhu's arrogant demeanor, Shen Hao said speechlessly, "Why do you, a rich young lady, always come to see me for no reason?"

"Who told you to break me up with Yanxi? And wasn't it you who found that woman named Leng Qingqiu for him?" Bai Xiuzhu glared angrily at Shen Hao.

Shen Hao curled his lip, looking disdainful, and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, look at you, don't you look like a dog?"

Bai Xiuzhu was so angry that she wanted to kick Shen Hao.

"You're the dog, your whole family are dogs, I wish I could bite you to death, you surnamed Shen!"

Bite? Shen Hao liked that word.

Shen Hao raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Jin Yanxi isn't interested in you, yet you still shamelessly go looking for him."

Isn't this just being a simp?

"You...you bastard!" Bai Xiuzhu's face flushed red with anger.

Seeing Shen Hao's right hand resting on the car door, he took a bite.

In pain, Shen Hao pushed Bai Xiuzhu away.

It was just pushed to the wrong position.

Shen Hao felt that it was soft and squishy to the touch.

The era of the bellyband was truly wonderful.

Bai Xiuzhu looked at Shen Hao in disbelief, then burst into tears.

"You filthy scoundrel, how dare you bully me! I'll tell my brother you bullied me, and Yanxi bullied me too! You all bullied me, waaaaaah~~~"

Bai Xiuzhu's tears rolled down her cheeks like teardrops.

Seeing this, Shen Hao was stunned, not expecting Bai Xiuzhu to react so strongly.

Based on Shen Hao's understanding of girls, he had a vague feeling that Bai Xiuzhu had feelings for him.

But then again, it seemed impossible, since Bai Xiuzhu truly loved Jin Yanxi.

Besides, he already has several women, so this woman wouldn't be interested in him.

But if he didn't feel anything, why did they keep picking fights with him? This made Shen Hao very conflicted.

As Bai Xiuzhu cried, she looked up and glanced at Shen Hao standing to the side.

That attitude of indifference, as if it were none of my business.

This made Bai Xiuzhu cry even more aggrieved.

"You bastard, can't you see I'm crying? Don't you even know how to comfort me?"

Shen Hao said, "Didn't you say I was being a pervert? Now that I'm comforting you with physical actions, aren't you just giving me an excuse?"

Looking at Shen Hao's damnably handsome face, Bai Xiuzhu said fiercely, "You bastard, why did you bring me here? Are you planning something bad?"

"Wow, I didn't expect this naive and innocent young lady of the Bai family to have such a good eye for people!" Shen Hao teased.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously shrank back, looking at Shen Hao with a frightened expression.

But a hint of expectation shone in his eyes.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll have my brother beat you to death!"

Shen Hao said with a playful tone, "Fine, you can not let me go, but you have to get your brother to approve the compensation slip from the General Administration as soon as possible, and then I'll let you off the hook."

Bai Xiuzhu snorted coldly and said, "Dream on. You've made me suffer so much, why should I listen to you?"

"This is a mass grave; it's haunted at night. I drove away alone."

"You dare! If you dare to leave me all alone, I will never forgive you in my life!" Bai Xiuzhu said angrily.

"The compensation belongs to the deceased's family, not me. You live a carefree life, but those who don't receive compensation are forced to sell their children."

"Now in the suburbs, a little girl only needs 40 silver dollars."

Bai Xiuzhu exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, it's so cheap!"

"Forty yuan can buy a person's life. Think about it, if you don't pay survivor's benefits, how many people are you indirectly causing to die?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuzhu fell silent.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "If you want my brother to approve the request, you have to agree to three conditions."

Shen Hao smirked and said, "Simple. To ensure those brothers' families can live a better life, I'd agree to give you thirty, let alone three."

You wouldn't think that way in your heart.

After the approval was completed and Cao Yuanzheng received the money, Shen Hao didn't care about anything else and completely denied any responsibility.

I'd agree to a hundred of your requests.

That's right, Shen Hao is planning to renege on his debt.

Seeing Shen Hao's straightforwardness, Bai Xiuzhu was very happy.

"Then it's settled with three conditions, and none can be omitted."

Shen Hao said with a serious expression, "Absolutely."

"Hmph, you're smart enough to take me back. I'll have my brother give you a note."

Shen Hao was overjoyed; finally, he didn't have to serve this young lady anymore.

After getting into the car, Shen Hao stepped on the gas, and the car shot off like an arrow, leaving a trail of yellow dust in its wake.

Bai Xiuzhu retorted, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm afraid your brother will worry about you."

Shen Hao wasn't interested in playing with her anymore.

Throughout the journey, Shen Hao focused on driving, seemingly an honest man.

However, the mechanical steering wheel of this car is really heavy.

Driving it is incredibly tiring.

Hydraulic would be so much better.

44. President Lu has stepped down.

However, to be fair, Bai Xiuzhu is a woman of her word; after returning home, she had Bai Xiongqi approve the note.

The Ministry of Finance had loosened its grip, and the General Administration of Sport naturally received the compensation.

Upon receiving the money, Cao Yuanzheng grinned from ear to ear and showered Shen Hao with praise.

Seeing how good the relationship was between Shen Hao and the Bai family, Cao Yuanzheng wished that Shen Hao would use his good looks to win over Bai Xiuzhu.

In this way, when I apply for other projects at the Ministry of Finance next time, they will approve the application very quickly.

Mid-August.

The newly appointed chief minister, Lu Zhengxiang, began his first extraordinary session of the Senate.

At the same time, he announced the administrative policy of his cabinet at the meeting and, in accordance with President Yuan's wishes, proposed a list of six additional cabinet members.

Surprisingly, Lu Zhengxiang did not propose any policy proposals or plans at the meeting.

The opening remarks were a direct suggestion to supplement the cabinet list, which caused an uproar among the audience.

All the senators were dumbfounded; this guy was utterly incompetent.

You were elected to the cabinet so that you could do the work, not just reap the benefits.

The room erupted in laughter, and Lu Zhengxiang became the laughingstock.

As for the current government's policy plans, not a single word has been said.

The lawmakers were greatly disappointed with Lu Zhengxiang and rejected all of his nominees, causing the new cabinet to fail and escalating into a nationwide political upheaval.

In an instant, the entire capital was filled with fear and chaos.

Shen Hao resumed his campaign of arresting rebels throughout the streets.

Of course, the so-called "rebel elements" are those who do not support Yuan Shikai silver dollars.

Yuan Shikai was starting to regret promoting Lu Zhengxiang; the guy was utterly useless and had made a complete fool of himself.
