Thinking like this, Fang Ze couldn't help but ask Nan Yiyi, "Do you know where their money comes from?"
Nan Yi shook his head and said a little confused, "I don't know."
She said, "I asked a few students, but those students just said they earned it based on their strength. But they didn't elaborate on the rest."
‘Earned by strength?’
'What does it mean?'
Fang Ze couldn't help but ponder.
He asked Nan Yiyi, "Does anyone else in the bureau know about my ability to improve people's strength?"
Nan Yi shook his head firmly this time.
She said, "Probably not."
"I asked our people in various departments today, and they said that the commissioners of various departments in the bureau are now more concerned about the fact that sir, you passed the neutral review and entered the detention room."
"For the former, they are surprised and envious. Then they keep guessing whether you will get more reuse."
"For the latter, it's a bet on how soon you will come out or solve the case."
"In contrast, although most of the specialists come from the training center, the training center is a marginalized department after all, so people don't pay much attention to it."
"To be honest, if it weren't for you, a man of great influence, who would have been in the training center during this period of time, no one would have taken advantage of the training center."
Hearing Nan Yi's words, Fang Ze nodded.
Those gossipy commissioners in the Security Bureau did not discuss it, which means that at least those 23 students did not leak the secrets on a large scale.
In this case, the sphere of influence that Fang Ze suspected was immediately reduced a lot.
He guessed that there should be only two groups that could obtain his secret without large-scale leaks: the civilian faction and the Jiang family.
After all, whether it is the civilian faction that controls the Security Bureau or the Jiang family that controls the entire Emerald City, it is simply a simple matter to get some information from these students who have not yet joined the job.
Therefore, when Fang Ze was preparing to improve the strength of the students, he did not think of keeping it completely secret.
Of course, he didn't expect the secret to be leaked so quickly.
So who is it from these two families?
What is the purpose?
Want to spy on the effects of your own extraordinary treasure?
Want to determine the upper limit of your own Noble Phantasm's ability?
Or, what kind of strategy are you planning to use to lure yourself out of the security bureau step by step, and take the opportunity to let the Huayang-level masters kill you?
Because there were too few clues, Fang Ze couldn't make a judgment for the moment.
However, he also decided.
No matter who makes the move, he just takes it.
Anyway, he made up this Noble Phantasm just to make money and achieve political achievements.
Since someone is now willing to spend money to help him complete it, there is no reason why he should not accept it.
The only thing he has to pay attention to is: no matter what happens today, just don't leave the security bureau!
After getting through this afternoon, at night, if you grab a random student and enter the late-night investigation room and interrogate him, the truth will probably come to light!
Thinking of this, Fang Ze no longer hesitated and said to Nan Yi, "Okay. Then let's go see what medicine these students are selling in their gourds."
"lead the way!"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Nan Yi nodded quickly, and then led Fang Ze to the training center.
Arriving at the training center and his office, Fang Ze found two rows of students already standing at the door.
Upon seeing Fang Ze, these students immediately looked at Fang Ze with burning eyes.
Fang Ze looked around all the students and took in all their expressions: nothing unusual was found.
Judging from their innocent looks, they were probably being used as gunmen.
While thinking this, Fang Ze said to all the students, "Don't worry, everyone should line up and come in one by one."
After saying that, he asked Nan Yi to maintain order outside the door, while he took the lead in pushing open the office door and receiving the students inside.
After a while, the first student entered Fang Ze's office.
It was a person who surprised Fang Ze, the poor student who had been noticed by Fang Ze: Ajie.
Today's Ajie is obviously different from the previous two days.
Although there has been no change in his clothing, in the past two days, he liked to hold his chest slightly when moving, and the range of movements was relatively small. This is psychologically a manifestation of inner inferiority.
But today, he is completely different.
When he walks, he raises his chest and raises his head, and the range of his movements becomes wider, which gives people a feeling of confidence at first sight.
With just a few glances, Fang Ze felt that there was something wrong with this student.
While thinking this, Fang Ze asked tentatively, "Student Ajie, have you collected enough money?"
Ajie nodded confidently and said, "Sir, this time, I want to directly complete my meat training!"
Having said this, he picked up a small cloth bag in his hand, which contained two bags of crystals, with a total of twenty or thirty crystals.
Fang Ze looked at him, then picked up one of the bags of crystals, opened it, and examined it carefully.
The crystal is pure, without impurities and of high quality.
The most important thing is that when Fang Ze touched these two bags of crystals with his hands, [Credit World] also gave a value reference of 20,000 lini.
This is in line with the previous "valuation" given to Crystal by [Credit World].
So, there is indeed nothing wrong with these crystals.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but look at Ajie, and then asked, "Student Ajie, how did you get these crystals?"
"Isn't it some illegal income?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Ajie said confidently, "Sir! I earned this legally by relying on my own strength! Please don't worry!"
Fang Ze looked at him and wanted to continue questioning.
But looking at Ajie's current state, Fang Ze guessed that even if he asked, the other party wouldn't say anything.
And I can summon him to the late-night investigation room tonight to investigate.
Asking him now would not only arouse his suspicion, but also waste words.
It's better to just collect the money and do the work first.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze smiled and said, "Okay. Then I won't ask."
"But, there is something I need to make clear in advance."
"If you let me know that your money is illegal, I will personally arrest you and take you to the Security Bureau."
Ajie looked solemn and assured again, "Sir, don't worry. I really got it legally."
Fang Ze nodded and said no more.
The next thing to do to improve your strength is much simpler.
With such sufficient resources, Fang Ze could easily improve Ajie's strength. It was enough to use [High-level Credit World].
And the resources Ajie brought were just enough for him to build his body to perfection.
In addition, his awakening ability is not strong, so after reaching the level of flesh-forging, he was successfully promoted to an intermediate awakener.
It far exceeds the graduation standards of the training center.
Finally, Ajie left Fang Ze's office with excitement on his face.
But Fang Ze looked at his back, his eyes a little deep.
After a while, Fang Ze took out the roster where he had previously recorded the names of the students, and slowly crossed out the asterisk on Ajie. Then he put a question mark on it.
Next, Fang Ze called all the students in one after another, asked about them and improved them.
There are not many resources that are as good as those prepared by Ajie. Most of them are just a little too much.
Fang Ze collected them all without any courtesy using [Credit World].
As for these students, except for the six rich students, the other 17 ordinary students all said the same thing: they earned it through their own strength.
What's even weirder is that Fang Ze discovered that the crystals brought by these 17 students were almost all the same.
Regardless of quality, quality, or size, they are almost the same. Even the bags used are the same.
If you still can't see the problem behind this, Fang Ze is a fool.
‘Who did it?’
'What's the purpose?'
With this question in mind, Fang Ze sent away the last student.
I also decided to summon Ajie tonight to see if I can get any clues from him!
However, I have to say that although these students were taken advantage of, Fang Ze really made a lot of money this afternoon.
Although the students' abilities vary, on average, each of them has paid about 20,000 lini. Of this, Fang Ze can earn almost 5,000 lini.
23 people, which is 115,000 lini.
In addition to the more than 60,000 lini that Fang Ze earned last time, in just a few days, Fang Ze earned close to 200,000 lini from these students.
It's almost like it's turned on.
And these are still 23 students. If Fang Ze is more courageous, he can expand the number to other students and make the total number of 100 people full.
Then his income will skyrocket, and it won't be a problem to earn a million lini in two or three days.
This made Fang Ze have an even bolder idea.
Half an hour later, the elegant office.
"Adult education? Formal specialist training?" Qingya looked at Fang Ze, a little surprised and repeated the words she just heard from Fang Ze.
Fang Ze nodded, then smiled and said, "Yes."
"let me tell you."
"After these few days of experiments, I found that the effect of my training is very good."
"Before, the list of 23 students I asked you for. After my training, all of them have reached the peak of physical training. 18 of them have successfully broken through to the intermediate level of awakening."
"It far exceeds the standards set by the Security Bureau."
Qingya couldn't help but ask, "Use your awakening ability?"
Fang Ze smiled and "corrected" and said, "Use one of my extraordinary treasures."
"Extraordinary Noble Phantasm." After hearing Fang Ze's words, Qing Ya couldn't help but frown slightly.
Seeing her expression, Fang Ze couldn't help but ask, "Will this affect my evaluation or political performance?"
After hearing Fang Ze's words, Qingya thought for a moment, shook her head slightly, and then said, "No."
"but."
"When you write a report, be smart."
"Spice up your entire training process."
“Everything needs to be rewritten, starting from the selection of people.”
"There are some effects of the Noble Phantasm mixed in, but you must focus on the effect you play in it."
She paused and said, "In addition."
"If you want to apply for formal specialist training, it's best to learn from experience and not collect money while training. Instead, you should set the access conditions and fees from the beginning."
"Then, guide and teach the experts bit by bit. Don't let the extraordinary treasure take up the main part."
After hearing Qing Ya's words, Fang Ze was stunned for a moment.
He found that compared to his rough "teaching" method, Qingya's major was more reliable!
Therefore, he couldn't help but suddenly thought, "Mentor. How about we do this together?"
"I'm quite busy, so I don't have much time."
"And my extraordinary treasure can take effect with a delay, so the two of us can cooperate with each other and do something together!"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Qingya said "Huh?", blinked her beautiful eyes, and was a little confused.
at the same time.
State Security Bureau.
It was obviously almost time to get off work, but a secret meeting was still going on on the top floor of the State Security Bureau.
There were not many people attending the meeting. There were only one chief, four deputies, and five directors from the Security Bureau.
In front of them, there were two reports submitted by Fang Ze today.
Obviously, this is the topic of today's meeting.
In the conference room, the atmosphere was very quiet, with only the sound of people reading reports.
Ten minutes later, when everyone had finished reading the report, the director, the cold woman who often talked to Bai Zhi, slowly said, "Everyone, please share your opinions."
On her left is Fang Ze's "old acquaintance", the deputy director of the Emerald City Security Bureau who has been to Emerald City three times: Qing Ping.
Opposite Qingping, to the right of the female director is an old man with droopy eyelids, wrinkles on his face, and gray hair.
The old man's attacker was a middle-aged man who was as thin as a bamboo pole but had an afro.
Opposite the man with the afro, Qingping's hand was a girl holding a book, with glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle, and a shy expression on her face.
After hearing the director's words, the other four people behaved differently.
The old man simply closed his eyes, and the shy girl holding the book lowered her head slightly.
The female director didn't seem surprised at all. Her cold eyes looked past the two of them and towards the man with the afro and Qingping.
Qingping lowered her head and flipped through the documents, then said, "I have read all these reports. They are detailed and logical. Although a few pieces of evidence are missing, there is still a lot of useful and key evidence."
At this point, she changed her voice and said, "It's just that the congressmen have already made up their minds on how to deal with Jiang Cheng. If we bring this matter up again now."
She didn't finish her words, but everyone present understood what she meant.
The matter of Jiang Cheng was decided by several big bosses in the state, and even the congressmen acted according to their orders. It is not known how many hidden secrets or compromises there were.
If they mention the matter again without knowing the depth of it, it is very likely that the matter will not be accomplished, and they will get into trouble instead.
The female director's gaze withdrew from her and fell on the afro.
Afro said with a serious face, "I don't agree with bringing this case up again."
"Poor timing."
"Too much resistance."
"But I think we shouldn't suppress this matter ourselves. We can file the case and inform several executive members this month so that they can check it out for themselves."
"If they look at it and want to bring it up again, then the parliament will order us to reopen the case."
"If they don't mention it, then we will temporarily seal the case and wait for the day it can be reopened."
After listening to the opinions of the two people, the female director slowly said, "Actually, tonight afternoon, I have handed over both reports on the case to several executive members."
"Before I got off work, I received a report and related approval from them."
Speaking of this, she clicked on the "nothing to do with Jiang Cheng" report written by Fang Ze, "They spoke highly of their handling of the case."
After hearing the director's words, Qingping and Afro frowned slightly and looked at each other. They had some guesses about the real topic of this meeting.
Sure enough, as the female director spoke, she took out two other reports and handed them to the two of them, "This is the report on the process review of this case that Yun Su submitted to me yesterday."
"He also spoke highly of his handling of this case and the person in charge of the case."
Qingping and Bangtou took the reports one after another and looked at them.
Then they heard the female director say, "So. The question now is. What kind of reward should be given to the leader of the special task force."
Hearing the words of the female director, Qingping felt a sudden change in her heart.
Her mind was racing, and then for a moment, she smiled slightly and said, "I seem to have heard that although this task force has two leaders, only deputy leader Fang Ze is actually working. Bai Zhi is more of a name only."
"So, I think if I want to give a reward, it should mainly be given to Fang Ze."
The female director leaned back and looked at her with cold eyes, "Then what?"
Qingping said, "I remember that Fang Ze is already in the realm of a high-level awakener, right?"
"According to his martial arts cultivation, he should be able to advance to the fusion level soon."
"He can choose the special awakening method preserved by the Emerald City Security Bureau or even the State Security Bureau to obtain his second awakening ability."
After she finished speaking, no one in the conference room spoke.
The female director withdrew her gaze and just sat there without speaking.
When Qingping saw this, she couldn't help but frown deeply, and she couldn't help but look at the man with the afro.
The man with the afro didn't look at her, but he calmly shook his head slightly.
Qingping stopped talking.
After a moment, the female director slowly said, "In any case, Bai Zhi is the first person in charge of the special task force."
As soon as she spoke, Qingping's eyelids twitched, and then she quickly said, "I feel that after Commissioner Fang Ze entered the Security Bureau, he has made many contributions, but his ability and position no longer match."
"In addition, the congressmen have given such high praise this time, so it is possible to add another burden to him. Becoming the deputy chief of a certain department is actually possible."
Speaking of this, Qingping paused and said, "Of course, the premise is that in addition to solving cases, he also does a good job in his own department."
This time the female director nodded, "Pertinent opinion."
"Then let me know."
Having said this, she paused, looked at the girl holding the book, and asked, "Xiaoyi, I remember that the deputy director of the department has the authority to obtain an awakening ability in the treasure house of the Security Bureau, right?
"
The girl nodded and said in a crisp tone, "Yes. Director."
The female director said "Yeah", "That's settled then."
After saying that, she didn't even look at Qingping and Afro, she just stood up and left the conference room directly.
After she left, the white-haired old man laughed twice, then slowly stood up from his chair, shook his head and walked out of the conference room.
After the old man left, the girl holding the book nodded towards Qingping and Afro, then stood up and left.
Suddenly, only Qingping and Afro were left in the entire conference room.
Afro looked at the three people leaving, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it, and then he said to Qingping, "You are too restless."
At this time, Qingping also knew that she was being plotted and led by the nose. She clenched her hands tightly and said unwillingly, "I don't dare to bet."
"We have worked hard for so long, but we have always used the reason that Bai Zhi does not have enough credit to hinder her promotion."
"If the director takes this opportunity to force her promotion, it will be difficult for us to stop her!"
"So, it's better to take advantage of Fang Ze."
"The deputy chief of a department is far worse than the director."
Speaking of this, her face turned frosty, "However, the director really values Fang Ze, the candidate for the deputy director of a department, and even convened a meeting of state directors. It's not a shame."
Hearing Qingping's words, Afro shook his head slightly.
He said, "You are wrong, all wrong."
"One, I don't think we should be worried about Bai Zhi's promotion."
"Although she is from the Bai family, her abilities are there, and her promotion will only be that much."
"This is also the reason why the director has been willing to be hindered by us in the past two years."
"Do you really think she is determined to be promoted to Bai Zhi, and we can stop her?"
"It can't be stopped."
"Second, what I'm worried about is actually that the director has seen through your thoughts. So in the future, as long as Fang Ze and Bai Zhi cooperate to do something, she can use Bai Zhi's promotion to force you to give in."
"She has discovered your Achilles' heel and will continue to use it."
"Three, don't underestimate your initiative to make concessions. She is building momentum and building a golden body for Fang Ze."
"The neutral faction has just passed Fang Ze's review. Immediately afterwards, we took the initiative to promote Fang Ze."
"In addition, Fang Ze belongs to the aristocratic faction."
"The three major factions are all pushing him. As long as his strength and ability can keep up, he will be the next Gu Qing, and he will even receive more support than Gu Qing!"
"The aristocratic faction has been weak these years. How many years has it been since there was such a talent?"
"Also, don't forget, Jiang Cheng is still preparing to deal with Fang Ze. Will Jiang Cheng shrink back once this golden body is established?"
Speaking of this, Afro shook his head slightly and said, "You're still looking too lightly."
After saying that, Afro patted Qingping's shoulder slightly, sighed, "Hey", and then left the conference room.
Qingping was stunned in the conference room, speechless for a long time.
For a moment, she suddenly clenched her fists and murmured, "No, this matter can still turn around. As long as Fang Ze doesn't do his job well, or doesn't do it well, Xunyi can stop him!"
"
Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but regain their vitality, and then she quickly left the conference room.
After the director's meeting ended, less than half an hour later, an official letter with the approval of the councilors and the contents of the discussion at the director's meeting were sent to the Emerald City Security Bureau.
At the same time, a call also came to the office of the Director of the Secretariat of the Emerald City Security Bureau.
————
I wrote more and more at once, and reached 6,000+. So it was a little late.
My health is almost healed, and I should be able to resume updating 10,000 words tomorrow. For the time being, it will be around 10 o'clock tomorrow night.
