Once, I wanted to be a good person

He chuckled and shook his head, "You guessed wrong."

"Guessed wrong?" Bai Zhi was taken aback. Her heart couldn't help but "skip a beat": Could there be... even worse news?

And as she was thinking this, Fang Ze said with a smile, "Do you think the director and I wouldn't see something you think you have all figured out?"

"Would we not know that you can't handle everything by yourself?"

Having said that, Fang Ze stood up, pulled Bai Zhi back to her seat, and then explained gently, "So, when the director and I discussed this, we decided that like me, your role in Emerald City is also temporary."

"To be the head of Emerald City's Security Bureau for a couple of days just for the thrill, to pad your resume, and then you'll be transferred to the Judicial Department of the Provincial Government as my deputy."

"This way, you can fulfill your dream of showing off in front of Gu Qing, and you don't have to worry about causing us trouble. It's two birds with one stone."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi was first stunned, then her eyes lit up, "Is that really possible?"

Fang Ze nodded with a smile.

Seeing that Fang Ze wasn't joking, Bai Zhi pondered for a moment and then asked hesitantly, "If it's really like that, although I would still be separated from you for some time, but... I guess it's a piece of good news after all. However... didn't you say there was another piece of bad news? What is it?"

Fang Ze put his arms around her shoulders and then said, "The bad news is..."

"You won't even be away from me for a single day. Your position as director is just for show. You won't have much real power."

Seeing Bai Zhi's puzzled face, Fang Ze continued with a smile, "I may have been promoted, but my first case is still Dahei Jialuo. So... after we report our duties to the Provincial Government, we'll continue working on the case back in Emerald City!"

"By that time, everyone in Emerald City will still have to follow my commands. You'll just have the appearance of glamour."

But as Fang Ze was saying this, Bai Zhi wasn't listening to him at all. In her mind, she was calculating: This means... going to the Provincial Government, we go together. Returning to Emerald City, we come back together. And when Fang Ze gets assigned to the Provincial Government, we'll go together too.

In this case! We really won't be separated even for a day!

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Bai Zhi's face. Pleased, she gently patted Fang Ze's shoulder and said, "This isn't two pieces of good news and one bad news. These are clearly three pieces of good news!"

After finishing, it seemed she finally found the pleasure of being a director. She stood up excitedly and then said to Fang Ze, "Alright. Since it's all good news, I'm going to find Bai Ling!"

She said haughtily, "I need to plan properly with her. The face I've lost in the past, I'll pick it up piece by piece!"

Fang Ze: ...

How many faces have you lost, exactly? No... how many faces do you even have!

And while he was silently lambasting this in his mind, Bai Zhi suddenly stretched out her hand in front of him.

This time Fang Ze looked at Bai Zhi with a baffled expression, "What's up?"

Bai Zhi, "Give me a few more pieces of chocolate. I'll take them to Ling. Good news tastes even sweeter with chocolate!"

....

After sending Bai Zhi off, all the preliminary steps for Fang Ze to move against Jiang Cheng were completed.

He stood by the window, looking at the sun in the sky's center, which seemed to be at its zenith, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although the position of the sun is the highest right now, but... it also precisely indicates that every second from now on is a downhill road...

...

That night, believing that Fang Ze was reversing his tactics, Jiang Cheng did not alter his plan but took half of the Governing Hall's civil servants to work another night shift.

Of course, the night was still calm, with nothing happening.

The next day, Jiang Cheng himself was somewhat puzzled. He couldn't figure out if he had foiled Fang Ze's "conspiracy" or if Fang Ze had truly taken the night off.

He was inclined to probe, but he was also worried about falling into his own trap.

However, this made him certain of one thing: things couldn't go on like this. If they continued like this, he would have a mental breakdown even without Fang Ze's interference.

But he had always relied on his family whenever he encountered problems. Now that his family wasn't offering help, he truly didn't know what to do.

Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, he still decided to hold on for another day to see. To see if there would be any changes with Fang Ze tomorrow.

Because yesterday's note contained content for two days, Fang Ze did not mail a note today.

This left Jiang Cheng clutching the note from the previous day, waiting anxiously.

That day, Fang Ze did not bother with Jiang Cheng. Besides dealing with his usual official duties as per usual, he sifted through intelligence on the Provincial Government and the relevant personnel, preparing for his forthcoming trip to the Provincial Government.

During this trip to the Provincial Government, apart from meeting the female director, Fang Ze would also have brief encounters with his department's subordinates, the members of the State Council, and so on.

Although the meetings were merely brief encounters, sometimes the first impression is the most critical element in interpersonal communication.

A favorable initial impression can make subsequent interactions much more effective!

Fang Ze certainly did not want to offend everyone on his first visit to the Provincial Government!

Thinking of this, Fang Ze felt that he was perhaps too fanciful. It's not as if he were a calamity star, how could he possibly offend everyone?

It's not like he would uncover clues about Dahei Jialuo and launch a major crackdown at the Provincial Government, right?

He was to go there to hunt down Jiang Cheng, after all. Where would he find the time for that?

With these thoughts, Fang Ze could not help but laugh out loud.

And amidst Fang Ze's preparations, a day quickly passed by.

The third day, early morning.

Fang Ze got up early. At this time, the ladies of the Different Race had already prepared breakfast and all the necessary preparations, waiting for Fang Ze to rise.

Attended to by several maids, he washed up, dressed, and had breakfast.

Fang Ze called for his motorcade, picked up Bai Zhi, and then the group set off grandly towards the Provincial Government.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng, who had pulled an all-nighter for four consecutive days, a total of 96 hours, emerged somewhat bewildered from the meeting room.

Standing at the door to his rest room, Jiang Cheng felt as if he had forgotten something.

He tried to engage his somewhat sluggish brain due to the lack of sleep. In a moment, it suddenly occurred to him: Huh? Why didn't Fang Ze send me a note this morning?

The day before yesterday he sent a note for two days, so it could be understood why there was none yesterday.

But today is a whole new day, right? Under normal circumstances, Fang Ze should issue another death notice, right? Why hasn't he?

"What's that guy up to now?" Jiang Cheng wondered, feeling hesitant, "Could it be that my 'meticulous defense' shattered his confidence, making him think it's impossible to assassinate me, so he gave up?"
