Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 593 - 131. Fang Ze! You’re too arrogant! (10,000 words for monthly votes!)_6
Jiang Cheng's expression froze, and his good mood vanished completely.
His face darkened, and he placed his hand on the case.
Instantly, the case automatically unfolded, revealing an old-fashioned rotary phone inside.
Jiang Cheng picked up the receiver, his face cold as he looked towards Fang Ze and asked, "Which city?"
Fang Ze replied, "Miaohua City."
Jiang Cheng grunted and began to dial the rotary wheel.
One round, two rounds.
The rotary phone slowly glowed, casting a stark white light over him.
After a moment, he stopped his actions and began to wait patiently.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds...

The expression on Jiang Cheng's face, which had been relaxed, slowly shifted to one of bewilderment.
He could no longer maintain his nonchalant demeanor. He quickly hung up in surprise and dialed out again!
Again, ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds...
This time, Jiang Cheng's face turned to one of disbelief!
This secret hotline was the emergency contact line for the First Commissioner, the highest level of communication for all the cities!
Normally, the First Commissioner should ensure that this phone was always by his side. Even if not, someone should be on duty 24/7 nearby to avoid missing any urgent notifications in case of a major event!
Now unable to get through twice, something was definitely not right!
No other evidence was needed – this already proved that something major had gone wrong in Miaohua City!
Whether it was the Governing Hall being wiped out in one fell swoop, or the entire city being isolated internally and externally, to the point that even the secret hotline couldn't connect, it indicated the severity of the situation!
Therefore, Jiang Cheng could no longer maintain his initial composure!
He couldn't help but glance at Fang Ze: could it be... Fang Ze had foreseen this all along?
Meanwhile, Fang Ze's complexion had also turned so dark it seemed it could drip water.
He hadn't expected that even the secret hotline capable of spatial transfer would be unreachable; this suggested that the situation might indeed be terrifyingly awful!
So, he didn't have the time to mock Jiang Cheng. He simply gestured to his people and said, "Let's go!" and then hurriedly headed towards the exit of the Governing Hall!
The bewildered Jiang Cheng was jolted awake by Fang Ze's "Let's go," and he quickly turned and asked, "Where are you going?"
Without looking back, Fang Ze replied, "Special Task Force!"
"Right now, only the Special Task Force might be able to save Miaohua City!"
Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Jiang Cheng looked dazed for a moment. Then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes regained their luster, and he said, "Okay. You go ahead, I'll contact the state first to report the situation."
Fang Ze knew Jiang Cheng had his own schemes, but at such a time, he was too lazy to care.
He had already achieved Spirit Ascension, and he was an unprecedentedly powerful ascendant. Jiang Cheng was like an insect in late autumn, not able to hop around for much longer. He would settle all scores with him later.
Right now, the top priority was to rescue Bai Ling, Miaomiao, Zhixi, and the millions of civilians in Miaohua City.
With this in mind, Fang Ze, along with Bai Zhi and the others, hurried towards the Flower God's Private Garden: the Special Task Force was still there, investigating the items left behind by the Flower God.
On the way to the Flower God's Private Garden, Fang Ze wasn't idle. He took the opportunity to inform the State Security Bureau about the situation, notifying them of his plan to request assistance from the Special Task Force. Then, as the director gave him a stern reminder to be safe, he ended the communication.
Upon seeing Fang Ze end the communication, Bai Zhi, seated beside him, glanced at him twice before softly asking, "Fang Ze, why do you think the Special Task Force can resolve the situation in Miaohua City?"
Fang Ze, having just ended the communication, was silent for a moment before responding, "I suspect... the incident in Miaohua City is likely related to a demigod."
"Demigod?" Bai Zhi seemed to have guessed something. Her hands couldn't help but clench slightly, "Dahei Jialuo?"
Fang Ze looked at Bai Zhi and nodded slightly.
He knew what Bai Zhi was thinking. Dahei Jialuo was likely the nemesis who killed her mother and brother. Now that there was news about Dahei Jialuo, she obviously couldn't stay put.
Seeing this, Fang Ze didn't try to comfort Bai Zhi, but instead quietly explained, "The Special Task Force should be the most knowledgeable team in handling demigods within the entire jurisdiction."
"Only they could possibly join us to resolve this crisis."
Having said that, Fang Ze paused for a moment, a vision of flower petals flashing before his eyes as he silently added to himself, Perhaps... the Flower God as well...
After all, apart from the Special Task Force, who had been undergoing targeted training, who knew the weaknesses of demigods better than the demigods themselves?
With this thought, the group arrived at the Flower God's Private Garden...
...
Meanwhile, at the same time.
In Emerald City, within the Governing Hall, that opulent room.
Jiang Cheng was also communicating, "Father. That's the situation. After Fang Ze left, I had the secretary continue to reach out without pause, but there's still no response; Miaohua City must have indeed encountered trouble."
"Fang Ze is now heading towards the Special Task Force. It seems like he's seeking their help."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, the Jiang Family Head was silent for a while. After a moment, he analyzed, "Fang Ze, although impulsive and vengeful, has an astonishing acumen when it comes to cases."
"He didn't seek help from the state authorities immediately but went to find the Special Task Force first. That likely means... he believes the Special Task Force is more suited for the situation."
"So,..."
He looked at Jiang Cheng, deducing, "Fang Ze must suspect that what happened in Miaohua City is related to a demigod."
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a second, almost failing to keep up with his father's train of thought.
Before he could clear his thoughts, his father spoke again, "Report to the state authorities. Say that [you] noticed something amiss in Miaohua City, which is why you made contact proactively."
"But after trying to reach Miaohua City for over an hour with no success, you hope the state will send someone to investigate."
Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Father, are you suggesting I take credit for Fang Ze's achievements?"
The Jiang Family Head spoke indifferently, "And... fight for jurisdiction."
He said, "There's a difference between an issue initiated by the Security Bureau and one initiated by the state."
"Even if the State Security Bureau has received Fang Ze's report, they likely haven't formulated a plan yet. At such a time, once the matter reaches the state, by all logic, the jurisdiction would be taken over by the state."
"Whether it remains under the Security Bureau's control... may not be certain anymore...."
Jiang Cheng was startled for a moment, then praised, "Father, that's brilliant."
Jiang Cheng's father, with a stoic expression, cracked a faint smile, then ended the communication.
However, after disconnecting, he leaned back in his chair with a somewhat vacant look in his eyes, murmuring softly, "Another demigod, huh..."
