Once, I wanted to be a good person

Fang Ze smiled enigmatically and said, "Of course. This has a very significant connection...."

As he spoke, he moved his shoulders, which had become a bit stiff from looking at data for too long, and continued, "Although this information is still somewhat short of what I want, it isn't bad."

"Next, it all depends on whether Gu Qing will play ball and if he can provide me with more information."

"Gu Qing?" Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi couldn't help but have a question mark pop up over her head: ?

.......

Meanwhile.

Emerald City, Security Bureau.

In a large meeting room.

The heads and deputy heads of several departments of the Security Bureau, along with some particularly capable first-grade Commissioners, were all present.

Gu Qing and Xun Yi were seated in the main seats, speaking to those below; clearly, they were holding a meeting.

A moment later, the content was delivered.

Everyone present began to look down at the data in their hands.

Gu Qing leaned back in his chair, his gaze stern as he looked forward.

He was a bit different today, wearing clean clothes, with his hair washed and combed, and he had even shaved his beard.

It was as if the man had transformed due to his outfit, losing his usual slovenly uncle appearance and suddenly having the air of a member of the Commoner Faction elite.

Sitting in the most important seat, his eyes surveyed the room, quietly observing the people below.

It didn't take long for those below to finish reading the data, and then people began to whisper to each other,

"The Flower Morning Festival's Law Secret Realm is man-made? And it's related to the eight major factions? That's too incredible, isn't it?" Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"Yeah, but the logic in this intel seems to hold up. Eight factions, eight abilities related to body parts, eight different parts forming a whole person."

"Within the Special Awakening Method, there is indeed a technique to acquire Awakening Abilities from the parts of Disaster Creatures. Looking at it this way, it's reasonable to think that the founders of these eight factions dismembered the Flower God and obtained eight different Awakening Abilities."

The conversation stayed on track at first, but soon started to veer off course...

"It's indeed incredibly logical. But why didn't we think of it before?"

"It's normal for us not to think of it. Don't forget, our director's nickname is 'Monster'. How can we ordinary people compare?"

"Good point! But I really didn't expect the Flower Morning Festival to be related to the eight major factions. I used to think that the director was visiting the Red Light District a bit too... um... laxly. But it turns out he was actually investigating the case."

"Hahaha, I thought the same. Now it seems I was overthinking it. With so much intel, visiting the Red Light District numerous times is justified."

Listening to the conversations below, Xun Yi looked at Gu Qing with a hint of concern.

Gu Qing, his arms crossed, listened expressionlessly to the praises being heaped upon him below, without uttering a word.

Xun Yi, who knew the truth, carefully tugged at Gu Qing's sleeve from beneath.

Gu Qing glanced at her and then shook his head slightly.

After a moment, seeing that most people had finished, he slowly began to speak, "Ladies and gentlemen, now that you've read the materials, does anyone have any thoughts?"

Hearing his words, Fang Ze's superior, the head of the Personnel Department, Zhuang Bo, said with a smile, "I just think our director is too amazing. To be able to dig out such secretive matters."

"And to have even figured out that of the eight major factions, there are actually only seven."

"I'm truly impressed."

With him leading, other people also started to speak.

The head of the Internal Affairs Department said, "Indeed, Director."

"We've been investigating this case for many years, and the progress has been very slow."

"And yet, in just two years since your arrival, without having participated in even one Flower Morning Festival, you've almost completely cracked it."

"I think there's no mistaken name, only fitting nicknames."

The head of the Judicial Department also nodded and added, "That's right. Especially the hidden fact that the Zhou Family might be the victims. And the speculation that the Flower God's Holy Maidens are the bridge through which the seven great families purify their bloodline and power through faith, that's just too astonishing. It's opened up our way of thinking."

"We always believed that the Flower Morning Festival was a ceremony where the Flower God bestowed power on the Believers. We had never considered that perhaps it's the 'Believers' extracting power from the Flower God."

As Gu Qing listened to the various department heads' flattery, he smiled.

But he did not respond directly to the praise; instead, he looked towards Xun Yi.

Xun Yi immediately stood up and began distributing another set of documents.

While she was passing out the documents, Gu Qing said, "Aside from this intel, I also have information related to two of the Flower God's Holy Maidens."

"They were previously controlled by the Jiang Family in Emerald City."

"However, not long ago, during the upheaval of the Yang Transformation calamity, Jiang Cheng was so frightened that he neglected these two Holy Maidens and left Emerald City directly."

"They should have some guards arranged by Jiang Cheng around them. But this is already the most relaxed the guards have been in years. Therefore, I'm planning to bring them back to the Security Bureau, take control of them, and investigate their issues."

Hearing Gu Qing's words, the commissioners and department heads below looked at the data in their hands with surprise.

When they truly discovered that the data provided was the exact whereabouts and guard information of the two Flower God's Holy Maidens, they were all visibly delighted

Thus, a new wave of flattery arrived one after another.
