Once, I wanted to be a good person

And the power that Dahei Jialuo needed was likely not just "Hatred," but the entire three poisons of "Greed, Hatred, and Delusion."

Because... aside from Commissioner Wang and his son, Director Peng, who represented "Hatred," Fang Ze had also not forgotten about that gluttonous beautiful young woman and the Rejuvenation Society.

These two possibly represented "Greed": craving for food and eternal, undying love.

And the other represented "Delusion": tirelessly pursuing a truth that everyone else had covered up. Even if this truth might not be related to him, or might not be pleasant when revealed, he still persistently sought it.

Upon analyzing this, Fang Ze discovered two pieces of good news:

One was... that Dahei Jialuo had likely cultivated these three forces over 50 years. Thus, the situation was not as bad as he had imagined.

The other was... that he had identified the nature of Dahei Jialuo's power, which at least allowed for targeted arrangements, or searching for traces of these three hidden forces...

However, before doing that, Fang Ze felt that he needed to verify his ideas with someone else to see if they were correct.

As for the candidate, there was an obvious choice: Master Fenda.

Fang Ze and Director Peng were amateurs, but Master Fenda was a true monk and certainly knew more about the Buddhist three poisons than Fang Ze did.

Perhaps, he could offer more and better advice.

Thinking this, Fang Ze deactivated the Late-Night Investigation Room and then slowly drifted off to sleep...

.......

Meanwhile, as he slept:

In the Sky Mother Ship, Inspector's office:

An old man and his deputy sat opposite each other, eating supper and drinking wine while chatting about something.

Perhaps because the two had a long-standing acquaintance, and since it was not working hours, the deputy was rather relaxed. As he ate a peanut, he asked, "Sir, did the Jiang Family really send five Yang Transformation Stage to Spirit Realm Mountain?"

The old man was clearly in a good mood. He laughed heartily twice and said, "Yes."

"Fang Ze really got a firm hold on their lifeline this time."

"They want to handle this matter, and must smoothly explain it properly."

"The governing district saw their desperation, so it has always demanded that the identities of those five Yang Transformation Stages be clarified."

"The Jiang Family had no choice but to pinch their noses and acknowledge it."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so incensed as to blatantly send ten Different Race beauties to Fang Ze."

The deputy sighed, "I didn't expect that after all these years of operation, the Jiang Family would still end up paying such a painful price."

The old man nodded slightly and then said with a profound look, "Because they can't wait any longer..."

"I just received news. The emergence of the new nobility has distributed the World Origin's enhancement that used to bolster the nobles. The Jiang Family's ancestor was already clinging to life, and now it's even closer to the brink."

"They must let that monster grow to support the backbone of the Jiang Family, otherwise, without the Seafixing Needle and a new generation strong enough to lead, the Jiang Family would collapse."

After listening to the old man, the deputy thoughtfully nodded.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Shortly after, the old man opened his mouth slowly and said, "Tomorrow morning, withdraw the surveillance on Fang Ze. Then send a letter to the Emerald City Security Bureau to thank Fang Ze for cooperating with the investigation."

"After that, we return to the Spirit Realm."

"I always have this ominous premonition."

"The death of the Jiang Family's ancestor could likely cause huge waves."

"We need to be prepared."

...

The next day, when Fang Ze woke up, he was surprised to find that the two useless "bodyguards" had quietly withdrawn without knowing when.

He immediately guessed that the order from the governing district had been issued, and the whole case had been closed.

Amazed at how efficient the Jiang Family was, Fang Ze ate breakfast humming a tune and went to the Security Bureau.

Upon arriving at the Security Bureau, as he walked toward the director's office, several Commissioners congratulated Fang Ze. He was initially puzzled, but later learned about the letter of thanks sent by the Federal Defense Team to the Security Bureau.

For a moment, Fang Ze marveled at the Inspector's interpersonal skills and found the whole situation magical.

After all, he was the real culprit. Now that they had let him go, it was one thing, but to actually thank him for cooperating with the investigation was something else.

Truly, situations were always so magical.

Once in the director's office, Little You, with panda eyes and a face full of tiredness, brought up today's schedule.

According to Xun Yi's arrangements, Fang Ze's main task for the day was to continue familiarizing himself with the Security Bureau's situation and meet with various senior bureau officials.

Since Fang Ze didn't have time to inspect the lower-level cities, Xun Yi had summoned the heads of the lower-tier city security stations the day before.

If it had been before yesterday's events, where Fang Ze "solved a major case in 10 hours that had troubled the Security Bureau for 10 years, and directly captured six Municipal Councilors," the station heads might have been deceitful or slack.

However, after yesterday, Fang Ze's authority and deterrence at the Security Bureau had peaked.

The station heads dared not delay or procrastinate in any way; upon receiving the orders, they all hurried to the Emerald City Security Bureau early on, waiting for Fang Ze's meeting.

Fearing that Fang Ze, the formidable figure, might actually crush them if he was in a bad mood.

After patiently hearing the other arrangements, Fang Ze did not rush to meet them but asked Little You to notify Bai Zhi and planned to discuss the case of the missing mother and child with her first.
