Once, I wanted to be a good person

So, to some extent, his goals aligned with theirs.

So...was there a way for him to rope them into his battlewagon, to lend further security to his plan three days later and increase his odds of success?

Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but start to ponder deeply.

Moments later, he had made up his mind!

With a plan in place, Fang Ze didn't delay; he immediately arranged for Jun to go to the training center's flowerbed to dig soil— he needed to contact Hua Nu!

Due to Hua Nu's ditziness and unreliability, Fang Ze had been in direct contact with her alone since she became the liaison.

Thus, to reach Hua Nu, Fang Ze could only use the Extraordinary Plant he had acquired earlier: the Qingfeng Seed.

This Extraordinary Plant was previously obtained by Fang Ze while conversing with Miaomiao in the jungle after escaping from the Special Case Team.

He had initially obtained three Qingfeng Seeds from the Late-Night Investigation Room, each usable three times.

Then, he used it once when he contacted Bai Ling.

Now, with two seeds left, it was perfect to use one to contact Hua Nu...

Once Jun had brought the soil, Fang Ze took out a bowl from his Space Folding Bag to use as a flowerpot.

He dug a hole, buried some soil, and counted One Two Three Five.

Shortly after, a gust of night wind swept by, and the Qingfeng Seed in the flowerpot tenderly sprouted two young shoots.

Fang Ze placed the flowerpot by the window, patiently awaiting the next night breeze.

Half an hour passed, and during three to four gusts of the night wind, the Qingfeng Seed slowly blossomed into a Windbreeze Flower, the Wind Spirit began twisting and dancing around the room.

Fang Ze took out the "carrying case with the blooming crystal given by Hua Nu" he had prepared earlier, let the Wind Spirit sniff it, and then softly said, "Go find Hua Nu."

The Windbreeze Flower joyfully circled Fang Ze twice, then rode a gust of night wind off into the distance...

Hua Nu was clearly quite far away as it took the Windbreeze Flower nearly half an hour to establish a connection between the two...@@novelbin@@

Upon seeing that it was Fang Ze using the Windbreeze Flower to contact her, Hua Nu appeared surprisingly startled and exclaimed, "Fang Ze? Is it really you?"

She poked the illusory face of Fang Ze produced by the Windbreeze Flower and said, "You're really wealthy, huh. You have so many nice things."

Hearing Hua Nu's words, Fang Ze, who already had a plan in mind, quickly put on a troubled expression. He chuckled bitterly and said, "Senior Hua Nu, I'm not wealthy."

"I wouldn't use such a valuable item to contact you unless I was really desperate."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Hua Nu curiously asked, "What happened to you?"

She thought for a moment, then tilted her head and said, "I remember you haven't been out of the Security Bureau for several days. Did something happen?"

Hearing Hua Nu's words, Fang Ze sighed, "Yes. Senior Hua Nu, I'm being targeted by Jiang Cheng because I was helping the organization investigate 'Qin 28.'

Hua Nu was obviously not so easily deceived. She said, "You had a run-in with Jiang Cheng before he started targeting you, right?"

"I remember, you got several promotions at the Security Bureau because you exposed several of Jiang Cheng's subordinates, disrupting his schemes in Emerald City."

"Of course, he hates you to the bone."

Hearing Hua Nu's words, Fang Ze kept a composed face, but inside he couldn't help feeling a chill.

While his promotions were no secret, the details... they were all internal affairs of the Security Bureau and never spread publicly.

The fact that the organization knew so much clearly indicated there were other spies within the Security Bureau...

As he thought this, Fang Ze followed the plan and said, "What you're saying is not wrong."

"But... before, Jiang Cheng just disliked me. It wasn't like now, where he's dead set on me."

Fang Ze said, "Do you know how much he hates me now?"

Hua Nu shook her head.

Fang Ze said, "He sent a Yang Transformation level expert to wait outside the Security Bureau, just waiting for me to come out and then assassinate me."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, even Hua Nu was taken aback, "A Yang Transformation level expert?"

"Assassinate you?"

She exclaimed incredulously, "How is that possible!"

"The real world doesn't allow Yang Transformation level experts to make a move. Once they do, it would immediately alert the federal Inspectors."

"If he dares to act, it's equivalent to sacrificing a Yang Transformation level expert, successful assassination or not."

"Those are Yang Transformation level experts, not any ordinary cabbage...."

"The Jiang Family doesn't even have many!"

Thinking Fang Ze wasn't simply bluffing, she paused, then frowned and asked, "What exactly did you do to make him go to such extremes?"

Looking at Hua Nu, Fang Ze, sticking to the plan, revealed the most critical piece of fabricated information, "I... stole their privately hoarded 'Qin 28'!"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Hua Nu's pupils slightly constricted, and her body involuntarily trembled.

She tried to maintain her composure, "You... got 'Qin 28'?"

Fang Ze nodded, "Yes. But only 1 gram."

Hua Nu's eyes flickered rapidly as her mind raced.

If Fang Ze had claimed to have obtained a lot, she definitely wouldn't have believed it, but Fang Ze saying he got just 1 gram of 'Qin 28'... frankly, she was rather inclined to believe him.

She feigned indifference and probed, "'Qin 28' is with you now? Show it to me."

Fang Ze said, "Such a precious item, how could I possibly carry it with me? I've hidden it."

"However, I can describe it to you."
