Who is the scariest person?
Not a stupid person.
Because a stupid person, you can guess what she is thinking.
Not a smart person either.
Because...the logic of smart people is also traceable. Even if it is unexpected, it is still reasonable most of the time.
What's the scariest thing?
He is a person who is obviously not smart but still thinks he is smart.
Because...you can't guess what she is thinking.
And Bai Zhi is such a person.
Therefore, facing Bai Zhi's "I guessed what you are thinking" expression, to be honest, Fang Ze was panicked because he had no idea where Bai Zhi had guessed.
Moreover, she is extremely confident.
When Fang Ze was confused, Bai Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Don't hide it, just say it if you're afraid~"
"Sister won't laugh at you."
Speaking of this, she once again had an "I've seen through you" expression and said, "Are you thinking about running away?"
"Thinking that as long as you go to other states and cities, Jiang Cheng will not be found?"
"Forget it."
"I'm telling you, you'll die faster this way!"
"When you are in the security bureau, the other party must at least be concerned about the impact. If you want to escape, then you are playing into the opponent's hands!"
Fang Ze: .....
I don't!
I'm not stupid!
I already knew that I would die quickly like this!
So, I have been thinking about how to trick Jiang Cheng to death!
Bai Zhi didn't know that Fang Ze was complaining crazily in his heart. While she confidently pulled Fang Ze to sit on the sofa, she patted Fang Ze on the shoulder and comforted him, "But you don't have to worry too much."
"Although the bureau will most likely not protect you. But, I will."
Speaking of this, she also became serious,
"Don't worry. You are mine."
"I can't just watch you die."
Fang Ze, "Will you close your eyes?"
"I..." Bai Zhi held her breath in her mouth and almost choked out of anger.
She glared at Fang Ze, "Is this the kind of person I am in your heart?"
Seeing that the girl was serious, Fang Ze quickly shook his head.
Bai Zhi then hummed in satisfaction.
However, perhaps because of Fang Ze's interruption, she did not continue. Instead, he said, "Anyway, don't worry. I will protect you."
"Whether it's in the bureau or at home, I will try to get them to put pressure on Jiang Cheng to stop him from going too far."
No matter whether Bai Zhi could really protect himself or not, Fang Ze was still very touched that she could say such words and make such a promise at such a time.
So he said, "Yeah," and said, "Thank you."
Then he added, "However, I don't want to live under your protection forever."
"I am a man. I still want to be able to solve these difficulties on my own with dignity."
"So... I want to ask you, do the Jiang family have any enemies? Who are they?"
"Is there anything I can use?"
"For example...the civilian class power holders who have entered Cedar State and even the federal eastern jurisdiction...?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi looked at him in surprise.
After receiving Fang Ze's serious and affirmative look, she hesitated for a moment, and then slowly explained it to Fang Ze.
According to Bai Zhi.
In fact, the Jiang family still has many enemies in Xida Prefecture and even in the eastern jurisdiction.
The first to bear the brunt are the senior managers of civilian background who now occupy various important positions in Cedar State, and even more than half of the parliamentary list.
If the common class wants to develop and grow, it will inevitably squeeze the space of the nobles.
One of the three nobles in West Dar State fell, leaving many positions vacant. In addition, Bai Zhi's family only guarded their own one-third of an acre of land and were not very aggressive. Therefore, among the three major nobles, only the Jiang family was left to compete with this emerging class.
And among this class, the leading figure is the current Speaker of the Congress of Cedar State: What is the Way?
This old man, who is over seventy years old, is a young man who grew up in the afterglow of Cedar State. After 50 years of catastrophe and the establishment of the Federation, he became the youngest generation of officers in Cedar State.
Over the next fifty years, he rose through the ranks step by step from the federal garrison, and eventually became the most powerful man in Cedar State.
It was he who single-handedly created the [Purse Incident] twelve years ago and eliminated the Si family, one of the three nobles.
After that, he successfully reached the pinnacle of power in Cedar State. He became a giant of the populist faction in the entire eastern region. And in the past ten years, the Jiang family has been extremely embarrassed.
And...Qing Ping, the deputy director of the State Security Bureau, and Gu Qing and Xunyi of the Emerald City Security Bureau are all his proud disciples.
Hearing this, Fang Ze asked, "Wait a minute, Qingping?"
He recalled the two previous encounters with Qingping, and then asked in confusion, "If you want to talk about Gu Qing and Xunyi, I can understand."
"But Qingping...?"
"Isn't she in the same group as Jiang Cheng?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi looked at Fang Ze with an expression that looked like a fool, and then said, "How could she be in the same group as Jiang Cheng."
"You don't think that her coming today to announce the news means that she is Jiang Cheng's person, right?"
"you are wrong."
"The news announced in the conference room was the result of discussions between several directors of the State Security Bureau."
"She is just the executor."
"So, the order does not represent her will."
Fang Ze was a little stunned, but he still felt something was wrong, "But...she keeps targeting us."
Bai Zhi spread her hands and said with a very normal expression, "Yes. She will definitely target us."
"Because she is from the civilian faction, but I am from the aristocratic faction."
"If she doesn't target me, who should she target?"
"As for you, because you were brought in by me, of course you are considered by her to be of my sect."
At that moment, Fang Ze realized: Shall I wipe it? Co-author, am I actually the villain? Bah, that's not right. I, a person from the slums, am actually from the aristocracy?
Bai Zhi paused and said, "Don't forget what I said. Each of our three noble families actually has its own basic base."
"It has its own traditional sphere of influence."
"And the base of our Bai family is the Security Bureau."
"My grandfather was the first speaker of the Cedar State Assembly and the first director of the Security Bureau. So most of his disciples and former officials are in the Security Bureau."
"Like the current State Security Bureau, the director is a confidant who was promoted by my grandfather. Among the four deputy directors, two are from our Bai family."
"The security bureau directors and deputy directors of various other high-end cities also have many people from our family, or people who are attached to our family."
"So, as the thorn in the side of He Weidao, Qingping will find us unhappy and cause trouble in every way."
"Even when we face Jiang Cheng, we will take the initiative to stand by Jiang Cheng's side."
"Because for her, Jiang Cheng's matter is not within her scope of responsibilities. Someone else will handle it."
"And her main enemy is...us."
"She wants to attack the prestige of the Bai family within the Security Bureau, eliminate the Bai family's influence, support the civilian director, and cannibalize the Security Bureau step by step."
Speaking of this, Bai Zhi said again, "It is precisely because of this that the director of the Emerald City Security Bureau has been unable to be decided. Because... the struggle above is not over yet."
"So... it is worthwhile for her to use the power of the Jiang family to suppress us or create some rifts between the two nobles."
After Fang Ze listened silently, he suddenly felt that everything suddenly became clear.
No wonder, I always feel that the relationship between several people is weird.
This is... there are no eternal enemies in politics, only eternal interests?
He couldn't help but draw inferences, "So... Actually, in this matter, the Bai family and the Jiang family are both nobles and allies of each other, so after the Jiang family gave an explanation, the Bai family didn't want to pursue it further."
"Although the civilian faction is unhappy, they can only accept it."
"In the end, who knows, I will show up halfway. So the civilian faction immediately found the right opportunity, intensifying the conflict even more??"
After the analysis, Fang Ze suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu: I...did I kill my "accomplice" again?
But that's not right. Why are all my "accomplices" bad people? And they're still targeting me?
After hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi nodded with a cowardly expression.
Still, she added, "That's pretty much it."
"But there are still some discrepancies."
"For example, my family actually doesn't care about our alliance with the Jiang family."
"My grandfather has been a public servant all his life. He only hopes that Cedar State and the Commonwealth will be well."
"If there is really a big problem with the Jiang family in this matter, he will definitely not agree to settle the matter, but will ask for an investigation."
"So, before arresting Jiang Cheng, I asked the director for instructions, and she agreed to take action against Jiang Cheng."
Fang Ze was puzzled, "What?..."
Bai Zhi said lightly, "I don't know what's going on."
"I only know that Jiang Cheng's father took the initiative to find my grandfather last night, and what else could he do? The three of them chatted for more than half an hour, and the matter was settled."
"I can only say that based on my understanding of my grandfather, the Jiang family must have come up with some very well-established reasons to turn this big thing into a trivial matter."
"This made my grandfather give up the pursuit."
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of the information he had obtained from Huajian and Qiuyue.
'Could it be...the secret of Hua Chao Festival? '
'The Jiang family is using the secret of Hua Chao Jie as a cover? Are you saying that they did those things to win the trust of those gangs and find out the secret of Hua Chao Jie? '
The more Fang Ze thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
After all, if the secret of Hua Chao Festival is really big enough, then this is indeed a very valid reason.
'What a trick... you actually prepared a retreat in advance? '
Fang Ze cursed silently. Then I heard Bai Zhi say, "However, although the three parties have reached an agreement on this matter."
"However, this does not mean that the civilian faction headed by He Weidao will give up and continue to encroach on the Jiang family."
"So...if you want, you can definitely borrow their power."
"I believe they will be very interested and willing to cooperate with you."
"And if you want to contact them, it's very simple. If you have any questions, just contact Lu Qing or Xunyi directly."
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze looked a little weird for a moment.
He said, "Do you know why I was able to get there in such a timely manner today?"
Sure enough, Bai Zhi couldn't help but froze when she heard Fang Ze's words.
"Isn't it because you heard that a big shot from the state is coming?"
At this point, she was stunned again and said, "That's not right. Although you can know that a big shot is coming, you don't know the content of the meeting, so you shouldn't come to the rescue."
"Moreover, you have made preparations in advance..."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "So...you can tell fortunes?"
Fang Ze:..........
"Fortune telling can't be that accurate."
When it came to this, he didn't sell it anymore, but said, "Gu Qing."
"It was Gu Qing who found me."
"Gu Qing?" Bai Zhi looked at Fang Ze in surprise.
Fang Ze nodded silently...
Then he dug into his pocket, took out a piece of paper, and handed it to Bai Zhi to read.
Bai Zhi took the note. There were only two words on it: "Office Crime" and "Awakened Person Crime".
Bai Zhi's eyes were a little confused.
Then she heard Fang Ze say, "After I finished the exam today, a specialist suddenly came to me and handed me a note. He said it was from Lu Qing."
"When I saw these two words, I didn't know what they were."
“But when I heard about the people coming from the state, I immediately understood.”
"The content on the note is about the characterization of the case and the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau."
"This is probably a loophole that the Jiang family found to transfer the case."
"At that time, I didn't think too much. I just thought that I couldn't let the Jiang family transfer the case."
"Now, combined with what you just said about the aristocratic faction and the civilian faction..."
Fang Ze paused and said, "I was plotted..."
Fang Ze's eyes were a little deep.
Before, he had only heard that everyone commented that Gu Qing was a monster. But I have never experienced it.
And now, he experienced it.
It seems, just two simple words.
But it meant that Gu Qing had guessed the reason for the Jiang family's attack in advance.
Guessed Huajian’s identity.
Calculate the time when the other party will come.
It was also accurate to Fang Ze's psychology.
He knew that Fang Ze and his interests were consistent in this matter.
He wanted to intercept the case so that the Jiang family could not escape smoothly and continue to have conflicts between the Bai family and the Jiang family.
And Fang Ze wanted to leave enough chips, wanted to keep the case in his hands as a life-saving talisman, and wanted to continue to find out the secrets of the Jiang family.
Therefore, a simple note not only helped Fang Ze, but also quietly completed his plan.
"Lao Yin Bi..."
The more he thought about it, the more unhappy Fang Ze felt.
Although I also benefited from this matter, or achieved my goal. But...this feeling of being toyed with and applauded is really very unpleasant...
.........
At the same time, the Security Bureau and Gu Qing's office.
Xunyi and Gu Qing also happened to be chatting about this matter.
Xunyi adjusted her glasses and asked, "Why did you pass that note to Fang Ze?"
Gu Qing yawned and said a little tiredly, "I said I was just unhappy because of Jiang Cheng's arrogance. Do you believe it?"
Xunyi:..........
Gu Qing said, "Look, you don't believe it."
He said with a serious face, "Actually, I am here to save Fang Ze."
"Since he took charge of this case, he has completely offended the Jiang family."
"Moreover, the more secrets he digs out about the Jiang family, the less likely it is that the Jiang family will let him go."
"That's why the Jiang family wants to move the case away and reduce the heat. And reduce the attention of him and the Bai family."
"After that... he accidentally fell into the water, died suddenly, was hit by a falling object from a height, etc. Completely deal with him."
"The Bai family will not fall out with the Jiang family because of him. So his death will be in vain."
"I'm saving him."
Xunyi:......
"Forget it. There's not a word of truth in your mouth."
Seeing Xunyi's helpless expression, Gu Qing put away his fake expression and said lazily, "Look, you always care about the process."
"The process is not important, as long as the goal is achieved."
"Bai Zhi is happy and can solve the case again. Fang Ze is happy and his life has been saved in a short time. We are also happy because the Jiang family's case is still in the hands of the Bai family."
He yawned, "So, don't take everything too seriously. Being serious is not good."
After hearing this, Xunyi was silent for a while.
Then he asked, "What do you think of Fang Ze?"
Gu Qing glanced at her, "You want to ask about the scene in the conference room, right?"
Xunyi nodded.
Gu Qing yawned and began to be unable to open his eyes again. He said casually, "Fake. It's a bluff."
"It's just that guy Jiang Cheng has always believed that 'a gentleman does not stand behind a wall', so he is timid."
"If I were to slap him, everything would be solved."
Xunyi nodded as if relieved.
However, before she could completely relax, Gu Qing said again, "But don't underestimate that kid."
"Although, his aura in the conference room was fake."
"But...his eyes and determination cannot be faked."
"He really has a trump card that can trade with Jiang Cheng."
After hearing Gu Qing's words, Xunyi's pupils shrank slightly.
Then she heard Gu Qing say, "It's just that obviously that trump card can only be used once. If you use it, you will die."
"That's why he's bluffing."
Speaking of this, Gu Qing paused and said, "Jiang Cheng also discovered this."
"That's why he didn't dare to gamble."
"Otherwise, do you really think he can be fooled so easily?"
After saying that, Gu Qing leaned back, put his legs on the table, put his hands behind his head, and said lazily, "Don't tell me, that kid is getting more and more interested in me."
"He can be considered a civilian. Do you think it would be very interesting to add him to our lineup?"
"The old man has always been very interested in such talents."
"If I know such an interesting person, I will definitely want to meet him."
"A sneeze. A sneeze."
"Why do you have a cold?"
...........
At the same time, in Bai Zhi's office, after Fang Ze and Bai Zhi figured out the whole thing, they were madly complaining about this old Yin Bi Gu Qing!
Bai Zhi has also been miserably plotted by Gu in the past two years, so she feels very resentful.
Therefore, suddenly meeting Fang Ze, a "confidant", can be regarded as pouring out all the bitterness!
After complaining for half an hour, Bai Zhi finally talked about the second power that Fang Ze could borrow.
"You still remember that I told you that there were originally three nobles in Cedar State, right?"
