Once, I wanted to be a good person

For a moment, he found some faults and then severely reprimanded the two men!

Furthermore, he ordered them to be suspended from their duties and to reflect on their actions!

The two Commissioners were scolded so harshly they were completely baffled.

They couldn't fathom why such a minor issue at work could make the Chief so angry and lead to such severe punishment!

However, since they were indeed at fault, they could only accept their punishment.

Yet, after leaving, the more they thought about it, the more something seemed amiss.

They felt there might be more to the story.

Thus, they began to quietly inquire whether the General Affairs Department had run into any trouble.

As a result, they didn't find out anything about the General Affairs Department, but they did hear about many situations similar to their own…

In various departments, Commissioners who had spoken out of turn in discussions about Fang Ze taking over the helm were called in by their superiors and severely criticized for various reasons.

Afterward, those who were to write reflection papers did so, those who were to be warned were warned, and those who were to be suspended were suspended.

Furthermore, some departments even held small meetings.

In the first half of these small meetings, the leaders of the departments discussed official matters as usual.

But when it came to the second half of the meeting, these leaders began to reveal their true intentions: they discussed the recent public opinion.

During that segment, the Chiefs reminded the Commissioners below them to discuss matters rationally, to not digress, not to spread rumors or fabricate stories.

Having learned of this series of abnormalities, if those two Commissioners still couldn't figure out what was happening, they would have to be fools.

So, knowing they had spoken too freely and had angered Fang Ze, they didn't dare to say anything further and dejectedly left the Security Bureau to serve their suspension and write their reflections.

After all, Fang Ze's ruthless methods were well known within the Security Bureau.

Being targeted by him was certainly not a good thing!

If these two Commissioners could guess the truth of the matter, then the other Commissioners at the Security Bureau could almost certainly guess as well.

However, most of the Commissioners were just watching the drama unfold and weren't really opposed to Fang Ze becoming the Chief; frankly, who became Chief didn't really concern them.

Some of the malicious gossip even originated from or was instigated by the department Chiefs.

Now that all the department leaders had grown timid, the Commissioners were even more so, and the scale of their chats quickly shrank.

Yet, what followed was the Commissioners' growing curiosity as to why the leaders of the various departments would come together to clamp down on this issue.

They felt something was off.

After all, weren't these leaders the first to resent Fang Ze's promotion?

And during this period, whispers, such as "Fang Ze's confidant Nan Yi had individually visited each department's leader," also quietly spread.

This made the majority of the Commissioners even more certain that Fang Ze must be involved in this matter.

But... they didn't know what exactly Fang Ze had done that made so many department leaders who were against him follow his lead.

Some Commissioners inquired with their department leaders about this, among them even included the leaders' confidants.

However, no matter how they asked, all department leaders insisted that this matter had nothing to do with Fang Ze and that their actions were spontaneous!

For a time, this matter actually became more intriguing to the Commissioners than Fang Ze becoming Chief, so... the topic of conversation shifted without them realizing it…

.....

Meanwhile, as the discourse within the Security Bureau gradually calmed,

aboard the Sky Mother Ship.

The Inspector, who had been paying attention to the matter, burst into laughter after hearing the updates from his adjutant.

For a moment, he said laughingly, "Divide and conquer, focus on the major whilst overlooking the minor, but in the end, still managing to take control of everything. Not bad, not bad."

After saying this, he glanced at his adjutant, who was taking notes nearby, and instructed, "You should learn more from him."

...

In Xida State, at the Provincial Government, in the suburbs.

Inside that small farmhouse,

The old man who resembled an Old Farmer was hoeing the land while listening to the report from the man in a suit next to him.

After listening, he hoed the ground a few more times. Only after he had leveled the soil, wiping his sweat, he casually remarked, "Not too shabby."

...

In Xida State, in the high-level city of White City, within a garden manor.

The garden manor covered over a hundred thousand square meters. It even encompassed a small mountain.

Though the mountain was not tall, it had a small waterfall.

And there, a bald old man dressed only in pants sat cross-legged beneath the waterfall.

The rushing water battered his statuesque, beautifully muscled body, which despite his age, did not seem like that of an old man.

At the same time, a gray-haired butler was reporting in a low voice about the happenings at the Security Bureau in Emerald City to him outside the waterfall.

This included Fang Ze's actions, as well as Bai Zhi's situation…

The sound, although drowned out by the "roar" of the waterfall, entered the ears of the old man clearly.

After a moment, he listened and responded with a nonchalant "Hmm."

Another moment passed before he softly said, "It seems Zhi hasn't misunderstood after all..."…

.......

Fang Ze had no idea that since the Flower Morning Festival case had been solved, Emerald City had drawn the attention of so many important figures.

He was even more unaware of how many people were quietly using Emerald City as a place to experiment and observe.

At that moment, aboard the Sky Mother Ship, he was still pondering how to properly resolve the issues at the Security Bureau.
