Chapter 15

After exiting the room, looking at the camera hanging overhead, Fang Ze didn’t dare to do anything unusual.

It wasn’t until he reached the top of the stairs and made sure there were no cameras watching that he dared to take a few deep breaths. He patted his legs, which were barely able to keep him standing, and slowly made his way downstairs.

When he reached the first floor, the agents who had been in the temporary meeting room for the meeting were already outside.

They had obviously seen the scene where Fang Ze had followed the Commissioner to meet the officer of the Security Bureau. Therefore, instead of continuing to sit around in the meeting room, they gathered downstairs and waited for news.

Everyone knew Fang Ze’s identity.

Therefore, in the face of his sudden abnormality today, although the agents did not feel too abnormal due to the influence of the Magazine, they still felt an insecurity that the situation was out of their control.

Therefore, when they saw Fang Ze go downstairs alone, they couldn’t help but look over.

Fang Ze was not surprised to see the gazes of his “colleagues.”

He had acted to obtain this result. He wanted to add a little “vitality” to this “dead” task force.

He wanted to let these “Prophets” discover that their “Werewolf” might not be as simple as they thought.

Of course, he had to put on a show. Therefore, he ignored everyone’s gazes and looked straight at Agent Han, who was also looking at him.

This time, he didn’t bother to hide his hostility. He simply raised his hand and gestured for Agent Han to cut his head off. Then, he turned and left the villa.

Seeing Fang Ze’s arrogance, the atmosphere in the hall on the first floor of the villa instantly became eerily quiet.

All the agents looked surprised and then looked at each other.

No one knew exactly what had happened.

No one knew why the criminal in front of them was so arrogant and even dared to openly threaten an agent.

They couldn’t shake the feeling that the tables had turned.

It was as if they were the criminals and Fang Ze was the agent. Furthermore, Fang Ze was the only agent…

…

Meanwhile.

In a room on the second floor of the villa.

After Fang Ze left, the girl, Bai Ling, and the Commissioner sat there looking at each other.

A moment later, the wall in the room silently split into two. Bai Zhi, the beautiful young woman from the Security Bureau, walked out leisurely.

When they saw Bai Zhi, Bai Ling and the Commissioner quickly stood up to welcome her.

A pretty smile bloomed on Bai Ling’s face as she called out, “Sister Bai.”

On the other hand, the Commissioner seemed to have doubled over again and lowered his neck considerably. He put on his flattering smile again and greeted him respectfully. “Ma’am.”

Bai Zhi hummed softly in response to their greeting.

Then, she came to them, sat down gracefully, and asked them, “Tell me what you think?”

Although she was speaking to both of them, her beautiful eyes were only on the Commissioner.

At that moment, the Commissioner’s forehead was beaded with sweat.

He lowered his head a little more, then whispered, “Ma’am, I think there might be some misunderstanding.”

Bai Zhi said with a smile, “Just now, I listened to Fang Ze’s conversation while getting someone to retrieve the relevant surveillance cameras. Everything he said is true.”

“This also includes the fact that he revealed all the information to Agent Han.”

“Before, I was doubting what exactly he was doing with his actions yesterday and today.”

“Looking at it now, I’d say he’s looking for a ‘spy’ in the task force.”

Upon hearing Bai Zhi’s words, the Commissioner became even more nervous.

He swallowed and hesitated for a moment. However, in the end, he said carefully, “Ma’am. Agent Han has been with me for nearly ten years. Although his ability is a little poor, his character is bad, and his personality is not great, he’s definitely not…”

He wanted to defend Agent Han, but Bai Zhi raised her hand slightly and interrupted him.

The beautiful woman did not argue with the Commissioner. She just looked at him with a faint smile and said gently, “Commissioner Pang, these are all the internal affairs of your Investigation Department. You don’t have to report to me. Just deal with it as you see fit.”

“However, please don’t leak any more information…”

Bai Zhi was clearly being considerate, but at that moment, the sweat on the Commissioner’s forehead flowed down his face.

His head lowered sharply, then he said seriously, “Yes, Ma’am. I understand.”

When he looked up again, there was a ruthlessness in his eyes. Then, he gave Bai Zhi a standard salute and turned to leave the room.

…

That afternoon, Han Kaiwei was taken down on the spot by a few senior agents and stripped of his clothes and equipment.

Then, he was imprisoned in the basement of the villa, guarded by two trainee agents.

No one knew why this had happened, not even the senior agent on the capture mission.

Not to mention Han Kaiwei.

Han Kaiwei, who was in the cellar, fell into deep confusion after the hysteria.

He felt horribly aggrieved.

After all the bad things he’d done, he hadn’t been suspended. However, all he’d done was piss off a criminal, and he’d been suspended?

Was there anything more ridiculous in this world?

Was he a criminal or an inspector on a secret visit?

Most of the other agents on the task force had the same thought.

They really wanted to know what Han Kaiwei had done and what Fang Ze had done.

However, no matter which one of them went to the Commissioner for information, he kept his mouth shut and “couldn’t leak any more information.”

The agents didn’t know it was an order from the Security Bureau, only that this incident was highly classified, which only made it seem more unusual.

Therefore, in the hearts of these agents, Fang Ze was shrouded in a mysterious fog…

Was he… really just an ordinary criminal?

Did he have a special identity?

Or… Was there some inside story that no one knew about?

…

While the task force was in an internal uproar, Fang Ze was secretly planning his future while loafing off.

The first time he came into contact with the extraordinary power, Fang Ze was convinced by this magical power.

In an instant, he was filled with strength, his thoughts were extremely agile, and he was calm. He was not afraid or hesitant. It was simply too wonderful.

Furthermore, this was only the most ordinary “buff” ability.

How amazing would it be if he had abilities like the “scalpel” ability of the ‘Doctor’, or the ability of the ‘Skeleton’ to change bodies at will, just like what was written in the records?

As a transmigrator, he had arrived in such a magical world.

If he didn’t really have an ability that belonged to him and traveled to the peak of the Awakened, wouldn’t he be embarrassing his senior transmigrators?

For the current Fang Ze, there was no other way to awaken his abilities. He could only rely on the Late-Night Investigation Room.

Therefore, he quickly set his goal, which was to obtain high-value information from the people on the “prosecution” list and obtain his first Awakened ability as soon as possible…

He just had to grind his way through! As a veteran player of a domestic mobile game, he was already used to it!

And so, the day passed quickly.

That night, when Fang Ze finished slacking off and returned to the task force for dinner, he realized that his “colleagues” were looking at him differently.

In the past, they had looked at him with special “passion” as if he were an animal in a zoo.

Now there was hesitation, confusion, even a hint of wariness in their eyes.

At that moment, Fang Ze knew that the Security Bureau and the Commissioner had probably taken action on Agent Han.

However, this had been part of Fang Ze’s plan.

After all, even if it was for the sake of appeasing Fang Ze, in order to keep the show going, Agent Han had to be arrested.

As for whether they would wait until the case was over before reinstating Agent Han or compensating him, that had nothing to do with Fang Ze.

In any case, Fang Ze’s goal was just to smooth over the abnormality of the past two days and muddy the waters at the same time to buy himself time to “develop” in peace.

Now that everything was settled, he could spend the rest of the day in the task force pretending to solve the case while looking for an escape route. At night, he could “investigate” the people around him and gain an Awakened ability.

It was simply perfect!

While he was devising his strategy…

Suddenly, Senior Agent Cui Xuemin walked into the cafeteria with an announcement.

When he reached the agents, Cui Xuemin adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and glanced around at all of them. He put on an amiable smile and spoke slowly.

“This is a task force announcement. From 8am tomorrow morning, the task force will no longer be confined to this case.”

“Take the day off tomorrow. All the agents can go home and rest, or go to the city and relax.”

“After tomorrow, you can also go out looking for clues, but you have to report back to the task force at night.”

“If you need to go out for many days and not return to the task force, that’s fine, but please report in advance.”

Fang Ze was confused.
