Caught a Spy!

A Terrifying Strike!

Among them, the female director asked the most questions, occasionally followed by the Shadow Warrior.

But there were no sensitive questions.

What’s there to conceal?

Thinking about this, Councilor Qiu looked at Fang Ze with a bit of confusion.

At that moment, Fang Ze paid him no mind.

He held a pocket watch, constantly opening and closing it, while recalling the scenes he saw in the conference room earlier.

Fang Ze actually knew that he was not very popular with the council members, but he did not expect to be so unwelcome: when he opened the pocket watch, its dial was densely dotted with red light points, interspersed with a few green light points that were almost unnoticeable without close attention.

This indicated that most of the 62 council members in the conference room (excluding the female director, 59 council members, and 3 executive councilors) were hostile towards Fang Ze.

“Damn it!

I’m a good person!”, Fang Ze cursed silently in his heart, then recalled the goal he set when he arrived at the Provincial Government: to be kind to people and leave a good impression on all the council members.

Hmm…

mission goal 95% complete.

With a little more effort, the secondary goal can be achieved…

Thinking this, Fang Ze opened the pocket watch again to check Councilor Qiu’s attitude towards him: Councilor Qiu was the first to be investigated, and when Fang Ze checked the pocket watch, he was not in the conference room, so it was not visible.

Because this room had been specially arranged and isolated from the outside, the extraordinary item could only affect this one room.

So the dial immediately showed a solitary light point: green.

“Huh?”, Fang Ze was stunned.

Had his secondary goal progress decreased a little?

With this thought, Fang Ze silently noted down Councilor Qiu’s name: the main reason he was here in the lounge today was to figure out the attitudes of the council members towards him.

To identify council members who were neutral or friendly towards him and then win them over would allow him to make headway in the Provincial Government more quickly without being left isolated.

And now, the first person he could approach and win over had appeared…

…..

At the same time, while Fang Ze was seeking out council members he could win over, in the reception room, the female director Lan Bing and the Black Shadow were also investigating council members one by one.

One, two, three…

Unknowingly, the two had investigated twenty council members.

However, as they investigated more council members, Lan Bing felt increasingly puzzled.

She had never believed that the Black Shadow had that special peeping ability, but…

this act of not even pretending to disguise was too strange, right?

When the council members arrived, the Black Shadow nearly kept silent throughout, just staying there quietly.

If it weren’t for Lan Bing asking a few questions, every council member might have fallen into a prolonged awkward silence.

Lan Bing thought: With such behavior, the council members weren’t idiots; they would probably soon suspect that the Black Shadow didn’t have that special ability.

The special ability was still with Fang Ze.

In this way, the Black Shadow wouldn’t be able to serve as a scapegoat for Fang Ze, right?

Thinking of this, Lan Bing was momentarily stunned, then her eyebrows furrowed slightly: Huh?

If even I find this matter odd, would the other council members think the same?

Would they also suspect that the Black Shadow wasn’t a scapegoat?

With these thoughts, Lan Bing began to think in reverse: The person who should have been the scapegoat was now protected, while Fang Ze, the prime suspect, was thrown out as a scapegoat.

Illusion and reality intertwined so that no one could tell the true from the false.

This was much more feasible than simply throwing someone out as a scapegoat.

Thinking of this, Lan Bing felt a bit more at ease, but she still thought the plan had one flaw: that was…

the Black Shadow must know the identity of the fifth spy in advance and find them on the spot.

Otherwise, if the council members found that after the Black Shadow’s investigation, no spy was found until Fang Ze arrived and discovered the spy, everything would be for naught.

Lan Bing’s worry wasn’t baseless: there were a total of 25 external council members of the Provincial Government, 20 had already been investigated, and the Black Shadow hadn’t found any abnormalities.

Only five council members hadn’t been examined.

Would the spy really be among them?

Wasn’t the probability a bit too small?

Meanwhile, the conference room and lounge council members also noticed this.

Possibly because they were cleared of suspicion, their moods relaxed a lot, giving them more time to analyze the situation.

The council members in the conference room, “Twenty council members have already gone out, and the investigation isn’t over.

Things are getting interesting.

Do you think the spy is among the remaining five council members, or…

the Shadow Warrior can’t find the spy at all?”

The council members in the lounge, “We’ve all passed the investigation.

There are twenty of us here, which means only five council members are left.

This is getting interesting….”

This situation also caught the attention of the three executive councilors.

They came to patrol midway, intending to ask about the situation, but because the female director and the Black Shadow said nothing, they ultimately didn’t speak up.

Thus, the 21st councilor, the 22nd councilor, the 23rd councilor, and the 24th councilor… freeweɓnovel.cѳm

four of the last five councilors successively entered the reception room to be investigated.

But there were no abnormalities.

When it was the turn of the 25th councilor, all the council members in the conference room and the lounge spontaneously walked out and watched him enter the reception room.

At this moment, the councilor’s face was already sullen, and his hands were tightly clenched.

He walked into the reception room.

The female director Lan Bing’s sapphire blue eyes fell on him, and she said expressionlessly, “Councilor Hou, please have a seat.”

Councilor Hou sat down with a sullen face, lips tightly pressed together, body tense.
