Once, I wanted to be a good person

Chapter 301 60. Cutting leeks over and over! (10,000 words for monthly ticket!)

Returning to the earlier argument between Nan Yi and Zhixi, Fang Ze naturally asked, "The intelligence you got from the Governing Hall was sent by your people?"

Zhixi made an affirmative sound and did not deny it.

Fang Ze nodded and did not say anything but was prepared to listen further to what information Zhixi had obtained.

Seeing that Fang Ze did not press further, Zhixi began speaking in a subtle tone, "After that night, I came to know of your identity."

"I also figured out a lot about what happened to you."

Fang Ze: ?

Zhixi, "I appreciate your mentoring and understand why I was chosen -- it was indeed to assist you."

"And now, here in Emerald City, your biggest enemy is the Municipal Councilor Jiang Cheng from the Governing Hall."

"So, after that night, as soon as I woke up, I immediately sent people to the Governing Hall to spy and monitor the news."

"As a result, the night before last, I really did get some news about Jiang Cheng."

At this, Zhixi paused then, expressionlessly, added, "Jiang Cheng is very likely to take actions against you. You need to be prepared in advance."

Hearing Zhixi's words, Fang Ze became more vigilant internally, though it was not apparent on his face. He said, "Jiang Cheng looks like a vengeful person. It's not surprising that he would act against me."

Zhixi said, "He is likely to make a move soon. And the person he will send will be extraordinarily powerful."

Fang Ze looked at her and uttered, "Oh?"

Zhixi continued, "Ubi is the person from Miaohua City who delivers flowers to the Governing Hall."

"He told me that since Jiang Cheng left the Security Bureau and because Qianfeng is not with him, he called a woman he often used back at the Jiang Family to the Governing Hall to be his secretary."

"However, since you defeated Director Qin two days ago, that personal aide has not appeared in the Governing Hall again."

Thinking this, Fang Ze's expression also darkened.

After all, just last night he had been considering how to deal with Jiang Cheng but found no good approach.

Now, today, he had received news that Jiang Cheng was going to take action against him.

This was incredibly frustrating!

Weak... too weak... Indeed, in a world with Extraordinary Power, being weak is the original sin!

Thinking this, Fang Ze looked at Zhixi, then nodded and said, "You did very well. You justify my recommendation."

"I'm aware of this information. I'll be cautious."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Zhixi nodded, then gave a slight curtsy before turning and walking out of the office.

The whole process was crisp and efficient, true to her style.

Watching her leave, Fang Ze also belatedly realized: today's intelligence was actually deliberately investigated by Zhixi.

This girl had known two days ago that it was he who "recommended" her to become a "Believer" under Lord Devil, allowing her to gain Awakening Ability.

At that time, she knew he was her "superior."

Yet, she held back this information for two days, waiting until she had gathered valuable intelligence before bringing it to him.

One could see this as her way of showing gratitude and allegiance, and in fact, also as proof of her capabilities.

"Hiss... this girl is really something."

And recalling that while Zhixi had gained Awakening Ability, she had still pretended to be ordinary in front of her own sister, Nan Yi, and maintained her chill demeanor and out-of-step presence in the world, Fang Ze always felt that this girl might be brewing a huge conspiracy...

Scratching his head, Fang Ze felt he really needed to keep a closer eye on this girl.
