Once, I wanted to be a good person

Jiang Cheng first nodded, then shook his head, his eyes flickering with dangerous light, "It’s not the three of them. It’s just Fang Ze."

"This person is a bit off. I don’t know if he has superior interrogation techniques, or possesses some kind of interrogation-class, mind-category Extraordinary Artifact. He can easily pry open the suspects’ mouths."

"Qiu Yue was caught so quickly before, and then it implicated me and Qianfeng. At that time, I began to suspect."

"Now looking... it must be that he has a special method."

The female officer couldn’t help but ask, "Then... what do we do next?"

Jiang Cheng said, "No need to worry too much. After failing to rescue Qianfeng, I anticipated such a day might come and had made the relevant contingency plans. Today, after learning that my Disaster Creature died, I’ve also arranged everything according to the plan."

"As for Fang Ze..."

"After he’s finished cracking the case, he should be leaving the Security Bureau."

"Have Shang Quan keep an eye on him."

"The moment he steps one kilometer away from the Security Bureau, make your move."

"For Shang Quan, it should just be a matter of one move...."

....

Meanwhile.

Outside the Security Bureau.

In the shadows, Black Bull and a dark-winged young woman were whispering to each other.

Black Bull said in a muffled voice, "The Young Master seems to have not left the Security Bureau for more than a day. Could something have gone wrong?"

The young woman stretched lazily and consoled, "There there, the Young Master is undercover at the Security Bureau right now."

"On the surface, he obviously needs to solve cases for the Security Bureau. So, sometimes working overtime and not going home is normal. Don’t..."

She stopped mid-sentence, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she quickly covered her mouth.

Black Bull also tensed up and looked toward the distance.

On the roof of a nearby residential building, space suddenly distorted, then a scruffy man, looking like a homeless person, slowly materialized, as if he had come from another world to the Real World.

With a sword on his back and a Wine Gourd in his hand, he staggered out and collapsed to the ground.

After falling, he didn’t seem annoyed. He rubbed his bleary, drunken eyes with his dirty hands, casually crossed his legs, half-reclining on the roof while he drank from his gourd and watched the gate of the Security Bureau...

In the shadows, Black Bull and the young woman dared not move, then exchanged glances and communicated using lip-reading.

’Expert.’

’Yang Transformation stage.’

Seeing this, both of them furrowed their brows deeply.

Although they didn’t know why such a high-ranking expert would come to Emerald City, why he would come to the Security Bureau.

But... they both had an ominous premonition.

After all, inside the Security Bureau of Emerald City, whether it was the one with the "deepest hidden identity" or the one who had stirred up the most trouble recently, it seemed... to be Fang Ze.

At such a time, this expert’s sudden arrival felt a bit menacing.

They were the remaining forces of the Si Family from back then; the reason they had managed to escape was that they were not among the top experts of the Si Family. The authorities had been preoccupied with the top experts of the Si Family, which gave them the chance to run.

Over the past ten years, although their strengths had grown, they would still need to discuss and work together to deal with an unknown Yang Transformation stage expert to ensure safety.

Therefore, Black Bull gave the young woman a meaningful glance.

Seeing this, the young woman nodded slightly. Then her wings slowly spread open in the shadows, quietly enveloping her and Black Bull. After a moment, a few feathers dropped down, and the two of them slowly disappeared from sight.

Meanwhile, the rooftop drifter seemed to sense something, his gaze sweeping toward the shadows.

For a moment, he frowned slightly, but after sensing carefully, he turned his head away, still puzzled....

......

At that time, inside the Security Bureau.

Fang Ze was unaware that the Yang Transformation stage expert he was concerned about was already in position, just waiting for him to show up...

If he knew... he would definitely say: Well, I’m not going out! See if I can piss you off!

After submitting the report and wrapping up the Special Case Team’s cases, Fang Ze finally left the holding area, feeling free of burdens.

He checked the time, and there was still more than an hour before the end of the work day. He thought about it, and since he had to endure another night, he decided to go find Qing Ya to talk about the next stage of his Martial Arts training.

However, just as he made up his mind but before he could take a step, Nan Yi rushed over in a hurry.

Upon seeing Fang Ze, she burst with joy, "Chief, you’re finally out!"

Fang Ze couldn’t help but look at her, "What’s the matter? You’re looking for me?"

Nan Yi quickly nodded.

Then she looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before leaning close to Fang Ze and whispering, "Today, a lot of trainees were looking for you."

Fang Ze was taken aback, "Looking for me?"

He asked, "Do you know what for?"

Nan Yi said in a low voice, "I heard it’s to enhance their strength."

Fang Ze frowned slightly.

Enhancing strength requires resources, and these trainees have money?

Sensing what Fang Ze might be thinking, Nan Yi added softly, "They and I, we’ve collected enough money needed to enhance our strengths."

Fang Ze’s frown deepened...

If he remembered correctly, he had just harvested this batch of ’leeks’ yesterday. How could they have grown back in just one day?

He couldn’t help but ask, "How many people?"

Nan Yi said, "Everyone... 23 people, all came to me."

This time, Fang Ze really felt something was amiss.

This felt like... there was a conspiracy afoot......

The night before last, after I sent out a single chapter, I’ve been experiencing high fevers between 38.5 and 39 degrees. The next day, the fever dropped to around 38.2 degrees during the day and fell below 38 degrees at night.

This morning I seem to have recovered from the fever, but I am still very weak. I only started to feel slightly normal this evening. Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy

Therefore, I’ve only written one chapter today and am releasing it now, so you don’t have to keep waiting.

There will be an update tomorrow, but it might only be one chapter (I’ll try for two), and I should be back to my normal pace of two chapters, or ten thousand words, the day after tomorrow.

Thank you all for your concern these past two days.
