Once, I wanted to be a good person

......

Director Qin felt that today was particularly unlucky.

He was merely invited to stir up trouble, not to be the mastermind.

Yet, while the mastermind was fine, he ended up knocked down on the ground first.

This really made him feel extremely frustrated internally.

Now, was it really so hard to help someone out with a task?

And that person, who didn't say anything but just started hitting... couldn't you recognize the mastermind before taking action?

As he thought about this, he slowly woke up from his sleep...

He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but he found himself seemingly enveloped in darkness.

A faint mist hovered in the darkness, and a huge eye stood before him, looking at him with neither joy nor sorrow.

Startled, he was just about to ask what was going on.

Then, he heard the giant eye slowly inquire, "Will you talk?"

Upon hearing the giant eye's words, Director Qin paused for a moment, then reflexively asked, "Talk about what?"

Regrettably, it seemed that the giant eye had no intention of communicating; it just kept watching him and repeated its question, "Will you talk?"

Director Qin felt somewhat baffled.

He didn't know where he was, it seemed like a dream, but also as if he had been transferred to some other real space.

He tried to move his body, but found himself completely unable to.

He tried to use his Awakening Ability, but discovered that all four of his abilities were unusable...

He seemed to be restricted here, only able to stare at the giant eye, listening to its questioning...

At first, he didn't take it seriously.

But gradually, as he was completely unable to move, unable to use his abilities, and even unable to close his eyes, forced to just watch the giant eye and listen to its repeated questioning, he soon started to feel as frantic as Kai Shi had been!

He kept asking the giant eye what it wanted him to say.

Then he also began frantically searching through his own secrets, thinking about what the giant eye wanted to know!

But, no matter what he said or thought, the giant eye seemed not to hear at all, just relentlessly repeating that question...

Just like this, the unending interrogation continued for over four hours.

It wasn't until the early morning, when Director Qin seemed truly about to be driven mad, and after not receiving any valuable information for over half an hour,

that Fang Ze, who was practicing quietly next door, disconnected the Late-Night Investigation Room and Director Qin's link.

This investigative method originated from Fang Ze's spontaneous idea during his interrogation of Kai Shi, and later became one of Fang Ze's four common investigative methods.

It generally targeted those who could not be harmed or eliminated, thus necessitating the concealment of the Late-Night Investigation Room's existence from the subjects.

The method was simple: disguise as a dream, add repeated questioning, then use the Investigation Room's ability to perceive emotions and hear inner thoughts to gather intelligence...

Waving his hand, Fang Ze restored the layout of the entire Late-Night Investigation Room and sat in his chair with a frown, sorting through the information obtained from Director Qin.

To be honest, the information obtained from Director Qin was not very valuable. It could only be considered a modest gain.

Director Qin had been mixed in with the Case Affairs Department for many years, serving as a trusted aid to Hua Jian and also a subordinate in Hua Jian's network.

However, like Kai Shi, his rank was relatively low, so he only had direct connections with Hua Jian, quietly providing some illicit information and passing on messages without being absorbed into Jiang Cheng's circle.

After Hua Jian disappeared, he was actually very panicked, thinking about whether to flee or hide for a while.

Just then, Shen Yayun contacted him.

Shen Yayun didn't know Director Qin's identity, only that he was a confidant of Hua Jian.

So she invited him for a meal and... had a deep exchange with him.

Then, taking this opportunity, she asked him to help with something: using Hua Jian's disappearance as a pretext to stir up trouble and pressure Fang Ze...@@novelbin@@

To be honest, Director Qin actually did not want to provoke Fang Ze, but Shen Yayun brought up Jiang Cheng, who was the superior of Director Qin's superior, during their discussion.

Thus, Director Qin suddenly thought this was a good opportunity.

He had been one of the members of the Shadow Organization, always helping Hua Jian handle intelligence—the many intelligence jobs Hua Jian did were actually his work.

Now that Hua Jian had disappeared, he could completely replace him!

To be under Jiang Cheng instead of Hua Jian was a completely different concept!

So, he concealed his identity, had a free night with Shen Yayun, and readily prepared to stir up trouble...

And planned to suppress Fang Ze later, then with his past information, go and align himself with Jiang Cheng.

Having sorted through Director Qin's thought process, Fang Ze couldn't help but feel amused.

Indeed, none of those who became civil servants at the Security Bureau were fools.

Concealing his identity, he had a free ride with another deputy section chief. Then he thought of tripping someone up and using it as a credential to reconnect with Jiang Cheng's line.

He was quite an imaginative person indeed.

What gave Fang Ze a bit of a headache, however,

was that, according to what Shen Yayun and Director Qin discussed last night, she had also just connected with Jiang Cheng's line.

And the reason was that Jiang Cheng was a noble, while the Jiang family were the former royal family of Xida Country.

Partly out of faith and partly in hopes of rising to great heights.

And Director Qin's inner thoughts were similar.
