So, with that thought, her mind whirled rapidly, and in an instant, she switched the topic and took the initiative to strike, "I don't pry into the affairs of the Special Case Team."

"The processes and cases are reviewed by the higher authorities at the Security Bureau."

"However, I would like to inquire about something related to the case, yet also related to the Security Bureau of Emerald City."

"I don't need to know the details of the case, but I want to know whether the Hua Jian Department Chief is alive or dead."

"If he is dead, can your Special Case Team issue a proof as soon as possible, and if he isn't dead, you should also set a deadline for when he will be rescued."

"This would facilitate our adjustments in the Case Affairs Department."

As she said this, worried that Fang Ze might accuse her again, she lightly added another phrase, "Of course, if you think this is also confidential, I can immediately report to the higher-ups. Proceed through the formal channels and demand that you provide the relevant information."

Her words, in fact, expressed the same suspicions as Director Qin, that Fang Ze had not solved the case in the past few days, and that there had been no progress in the case.

But because she had changed her phrasing, Fang Ze could not find any flaws.

However, defeating Director Qin had merely been a way for him to establish his authority.

No matter how audacious Fang Ze was, he could not use the same reason to knock out one of the top three officials of the Security Bureau.

Moreover, Fang Ze knew that by now, all the commissioners who were watching probably had some opinions about him. They felt that he not only avoided doing the "right thing" by managing academics in the Personnel Department but even attacked Director Qin after he raised doubts.

So now, after having re-established his authority, he truly needed to prove himself! Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

With that thought, Fang Ze said, "Commissioner Xun Yi. No need for formalities."

"I'm here, and I can make an exception to tell you."

"The Hua Jian Department Chief is dead. And he died on the day he was abducted."

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, the scene immediately buzzed with disbelief. Obviously, everyone was surprised that Fang Ze actually knew about Hua Jian's whereabouts, and even more so... that Hua Jian was actually dead.

But... is this true?

Could it be that Fang Ze was just bluffing?

This doubt wasn't just amongst the ordinary commissioners, but Xun Yi had it too.

Therefore, she couldn't help but ask, "Have you already investigated thoroughly?"

How come... Xun Yi was infuriated, and the "assailant" ended up on the ground?

Bai Zhi instinctively felt something was off but having already flared up, she couldn't back down!

Thus, she stared at Xun Yi with an icy expression and said, "If you have any issues, direct them at me! I am the head of the Special Case Team!"

Xun Yi, who had worked with Bai Zhi for many years and knew her character and capabilities well, simply looked at Bai Zhi expressionlessly and then asked, "Oh. So is Hua Jian dead or alive?"

Bai Zhi's expression froze.

For a moment... she sneakily sought help from Fang Ze...

Seeing this, Fang Ze couldn't help but smile wryly.

He stood up, extricated Bai Zhi from the situation, then introduced her to the trainees in front of him.

In this way, what was supposed to be a "battle" was deftly turned into a director's meet-and-greet.

Not to mention anything else, Bai Zhi, a woman who was beautiful, skilled, and held a high position, was quite capable of drawing goodwill. With Fang Ze as a bridge, all the trainees saluted Bai Zhi respectfully, introducing themselves to her.

Bai Zhi, at that moment, fully displayed her directorial demeanor with a reserved and elegant smile, warmly greeting and learning about each trainee.

However, judging by her demeanor, Fang Ze guessed she probably forgot what she had just asked as soon as she turned away...

And so, an hour quickly passed.

The news that Fang Ze and Xun Yi had a conflict, and Bai Zhi had arrived at the scene, had already spread throughout the Security Bureau.

More and more officers and commissioners gathered on the third floor, waiting for the final result.

Just as the hour was about to end, when Xun Yi and the observing commissioners were growing impatient,

sudden outbursts of exclamations came from downstairs.

Amid these exclamations, Nan Yi and her colleagues rapidly ran upstairs carrying a stretcher covered with a white cloth.

Seeing her return, and the stretcher they were carrying, the eyes of Xun Yi, the department chiefs, and all the commissioners inevitably fell upon it.....
