Once, I wanted to be a good person

Fang Ze looked up at the sky, "Ah? Guilty? What guilt?"

"I had already guessed your and Lady Jin's intentions and simply played along with you," he replied.

Seeing Fang Ze stubbornly denying it, Bai Zhi became even angrier.

Just then, suddenly, Fang Ze lowered his head, smiled, and looked at her.

Then, out of the blue, he stretched out his hands, embraced her shoulders, and pulled her into his arms.

Afterward, he whispered in her ear, "....Thank you. Commander."

"You truly are the best, the most responsible commander I've ever seen," he said earnestly.

Hearing Fang Ze's sincere words and feeling his warm embrace, Bai Zhi suddenly felt her face grow hot and her heart began to beat rapidly.

The unfamiliar feeling, which she had never experienced before, made her somewhat uneasy.

Thus, after Fang Ze had embraced her for a while, she hastily put her hands on Fang Ze and pushed him away, then said, "Alright! As long as you know I'm good to you, that's enough!"

"Let me tell you. I have been so good to you, if you dare betray me... go to Gu Qing!"

"I will definitely not let you off!"

At this, Bai Zhi lightly shook her fist.

Compared to Bai Ling's small fist, Bai Zhi's fist was far more intimidating.

After all, Fang Ze had witnessed the power of her Thousand-Handed Buddha Dance...

So, Fang Ze forced a smile, "No, no. Don't worry. I will definitely be your man."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi finally nodded in satisfaction.

After all was said and done, Fang Ze sent Bai Zhi away.

Then he sat for a while in the transformed space.

Today, while adjusting the layout of the Late-Night Investigation Room, Fang Ze thought back and forth and ultimately decided to turn it into an ordinary small park from his previous life.

The small park had flowers, trees, ceramic-tiled pathways, and even exercise equipment, making it a perfect place for two people to sit and chat.

In fact, Bai Zhi also liked this place. After discussing official matters, she even asked Fang Ze where this place was and why she had never seen it before.

Fang Ze simply fobbed her off by saying it was her dream, something she had conjured up herself, so she should ask herself where it was, not Fang Ze.

This finally made the foolish girl stop pursuing the question....

After sitting in the park for a while, Fang Ze deactivated the disguise of the investigation room and then headed to the desk to see what he had gained tonight.

Since he had been just assigning tasks to Bai Zhi and only briefly inquired about the outside world from Bai Zhi, Fang Ze actually didn't hold much hope for today's gains.

However, when he saw the reward on the table, Fang Ze was a bit surprised.

On the table lay a small glass bead, inside of which a figure flickered, seemingly employing some kind of deadly move.

Fang Ze tentatively picked up the glass bead and then held it quietly for a moment.

Shortly after, the information about the glass bead appeared in Fang Ze's mind.

"Martial Skill: Instant Kill (Perfection)"

"A comprehensive swordsmanship that, based on direct strikes, integrates various essences of swordsmanship. This sword skill is easy to learn but hard to master. Its moves are simple and direct yet powerful. Combined with the specialized footwork, Instant Step, it can kill a person within ten steps and leave no trace over a thousand miles."

Reflecting on the information in his mind, Fang's eyes slightly brightened.

Actually... ever since he had learned 'Instant Step' from Qing Ya, Fang Ze felt that the footwork seemed to lack something, it was incomplete.

Especially when combined with Sealing Thunder Fist, it felt very odd.

But... since Instant Step was already Qing Ya's sect's secret technique, Fang Ze couldn't bring himself to shamelessly ask for the corresponding martial skill, so he had to keep everything inside.

And now, Fang Ze had unexpectedly obtained the matching martial skill from Bai Zhi inadvertently.

It must have been fate between him and Qing Ya.

And remembering that on Bai Zhi's panel, there was not only Instant Kill but also Instant Step, Fang Ze became a bit curious: Could it be that Qing Ya's sect had some connection with Bai Zhi?

Or perhaps... the powerful Bai Family had demanded related secret skills from Qing Ya's sect?

Due to the lack of information, Fang Ze couldn't decide.

However, having acquired a new lethal skill that could be combined with Instant Step and could also enhance the power of martial skills together with "High Interest", Fang Ze felt his strength significantly increased!

Frankly speaking, Fang Ze was actually very curious about how far his strength had reached.

He always felt that in these two months, he had progressed rapidly, seemingly advancing to a level beyond his own imagination.

But unfortunately, he always lacked a real combat opportunity to accurately assess his combat power.

It seems that he really needs to find some time for real combat soon to understand his true combat power.

With this thought, Fang Ze absorbed the martial skill, Instant Kill, then leaned back in his chair and slowly fell asleep...

....

The next day, Fang Ze was woken up by a "bang bang bang" at the door.

He opened his eyes and reflexively said, "Come in." But before he could finish speaking, the door was pushed open.

The one who entered was the Defense Team member who had taken away Fang Ze's noodles the day before.

Entering the cell, he gave Fang Ze a cold look and said, "'Come in'? Do you still think you're a commander?"

"Remember who you are, you're just a prisoner here."

With that, he slammed the food tray down on the table, as if calling an animal, and said, "Come on, eat."

After saying that, he turned and left the cell.

Watching his retreating figure, Fang Ze's gaze sharpened, but he said nothing.

He walked up to the table, picked up the chopsticks, and began mixing his rice.

While mixing the rice, Fang Ze calculated the time.

Based on the normal meal times of the federal Defense Team members, it should be around six to six thirty in the morning now.

Even considering he was a suspect, and the Defense Team would finish their meal before attending to him, it shouldn't be later than 7 a.m.

So, unless something unexpected had happened, Bai Zhi should have arrived at the Sky Mother Ship by now.

He wondered if his plan would go smoothly....

...

Meanwhile, while Fang Ze was contemplating,

On the Sky Mother Ship, the adjutant quickly walked up to the old man, then whispered, "Sir, the deputy director of the Emerald City Security Bureau requests an audience."
