Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 525 - 117. Gu Qing: I’m Not as Good as Him (8000 words for monthly ticket!)_4
He hadn't expected, at such a crucial moment, why the director would ask this question.
He hesitated for a moment, his brain rapidly spinning.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but recall a rumor: with Bai Zhi's family background and strength, and the backing of the director of the State Security Bureau, actually no one could really stop her from becoming the director.
Yet, the reason she had never become the director seemed to be because the current director of the State Security Bureau hesitated, believing Bai Zhi's capabilities were not suitable for the directorship.
On the contrary, she favored Gu Qing, an elite from the Commoner Faction.
At that, Fang Ze suddenly had an epiphany: the current director, although belonging to the noble faction and being a member of the Bai Family, was primarily the helmsman of the entire Xida State Security Bureau.
For the good of the Xida State Security Bureau, she wasn't particularly concerned about the noble faction and the commoner faction.
Only when the differences between them were minimal or did not affect the overall situation, would she lean towards the noble faction.
Thinking this, how could Fang Ze not understand her intention.
She felt this matter was too significant, and Bai Zhi was somewhat inexperienced; she was worried about her mishandling the situation. Thus, she subtly reminded Fang Ze not to concern himself with factions when it came to official business.
Thinking so, Fang Ze said to the female director, "My first allegiance is to the Security Bureau."
Hearing Fang Ze's response, the female director nodded in satisfaction and then said, "Then I await your good news."
After saying that, she hung up the communication.

Having received the director's approval, Fang Ze left the resting room, briefly updated Bai Zhi and the others about the situation, and then began to sign orders and assign tasks.
Although the director hinted to Fang Ze not to let factional differences influence his decision-making in handling official business... People always have their biases, and the distribution of credit also varies in importance.
Allocating the primary credit to his own people and the lesser credit to others was also reasonable, wasn't it?
Therefore, soon, along with the signing of each order by Fang Ze, Bai Zhi, Bai Ling, and Nan Yi excitedly took their orders and left the detention room to start their tasks!
After they had left, Fang Ze sat in the resting room for a while before he used the detention room's communicator to contact Gu Qing and asked Gu Qing to come to the detention room.
The Security Bureau had no secrets. As soon as Fang Ze whispered with Bai Zhi and Bai Ling near the door, the observing commissioners guessed that Fang Ze had likely solved the case that had troubled the Security Bureau for ten years.
Thus, shortly after Fang Ze and the others entered the detention room, many people who were following the case knew about it.
Although they were shocked by Fang Ze's methods and doubted the authenticity of the case, many had prepared themselves mentally in advance.
This included Gu Qing.
So at
the moment he received Fang Ze's communication, Gu Qing appeared extremely calm; he even didn't say an extra word, just one, "Okay."
Five minutes later, Fang Ze and Gu Qing sat opposite each other in the resting room.
Gu Qing looked around the room, his gaze lingering for a moment on Little You, who was tied up like a rice-dumpling, but he didn't say anything and directly started discussing the official business, "You've solved it?"
Fang Ze nodded, "Solved."
Gu Qing asked, "Was it Mr. Wang?"
Fang Ze shook his head and said, "No, it's not him."
Gu Qing frowned slightly, "Commissioner Wang?"
Fang Ze shook his head again.
This time, Gu Qing's frown deepened. Clearly, he had almost ruled out all other suspects apart from this father and son duo. And yet they weren't the culprits?
Then... who could it be?
Fang Ze looked at his puzzled gaze and said, "It's a demigod from the Spirit Realm. Named Dahei Garo."
As he spoke, Fang Ze pointed to the spot corresponding to Mr. Wang's tattoo.
Gu Qing suddenly realized, "I see."
He pondered for a moment and then said, "Actually, some of the cases in the Security Bureau were also caused by Disaster Creatures or bizarre Extraordinary Artifacts."
"We had considered this point initially. But since there were no fluctuations of the Power of Laws detected, we ultimately did not pursue this lead."
He paused and then said, "After all, investigating a case requires following the clues, not making guesses without any."
"As a result, we never expected that this 'lack of clues' was actually the biggest anomaly."
Fang Ze nodded and then commented, "Exactly. You were right. You fell into a misconception from the start."
"You thought it was Mr. Wang who committed the crime, but couldn't prove it because he possesses anti-psychic abilities."
"But you never considered that the absence of the Power of Laws might also have been masked by some presence."
Gu Qing nodded. Then he couldn't help but show a relieved smile and said, "Anyway, the case is finally solved. One less thing to worry about."
At this, he extended his hand towards Fang Ze and said, "Congratulations, Fang Ze."
Fang Ze smiled and shook his hand, then said, "Don't congratulate me just yet. Although the case is solved, there's still the wrap-up and arrests to make."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Gu Qing was surprised for a moment, "You plan to involve me as well?"
Fang Ze replied, "Why not?"
"Aren't you a member of the Security Bureau, the deputy director?"
Gu Qing's gaze wavered slightly, and after a moment, he smiled again, "Yes, I am a member of the Security Bureau."
Saying this, he stood up straight, abandoning his usual carefree demeanor, and spoke seriously, "Then, Director, please give the orders."
