Chapter 840: Jiang Cheng’s defense is broken: Why are you messing with me again?

However, just as Fang Ze thought of this, he couldn’t help but hesitate a bit.

He still remembered the intelligence secretly shared with him by Councilor Jia at noon today.

The Council’s decision to handle this matter with special legislation, shortening the process and allowing him to leave the Provincial Government and go to Congyun City, was the result of various forces applying pressure together.

If a few of those involved were under the control and influence of a demigod, Fang Ze could understand. But… everyone being under such influence? That would be too absurd.

Could it be… they also received this news, so they are each making their own little calculations?

With this thought, Fang Ze suddenly felt as if his train of thought had been unlocked.

He felt it was very likely that was the case.

For example, the federal Defense Team or someone like Councilor Jia would probably hope to gain his goodwill by expediting the process for his affiliated city proposal.

For example… the Bai Family and the Special Service Department, whose positions were relatively aligned with his own yet had some contradictions, would probably see this as an opportunity for a risky rescue. This would in turn smooth over their relationship or enable them to set terms.

For example, antagonistic forces such as He Weidao and the Jiang Family… would likely want to use the demigod to eliminate him.

That’s why every party had their own intentions, some deliberate and some not, which led to the current situation.

With this in mind, Fang Ze wanted to verify his thoughts. So he couldn’t help but look towards the three nobles from the Directly Governed State and tentatively said, “Thank you for bringing the news. However… I’m a bit curious. I don’t seem to have much to do with you three, and we even had a misunderstanding before. So, why would you choose to tip me off?”

Hearing Fang Ze’s words, Guan Shou, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. He said, “Family Head Fang Ze. I believe that with your level of intelligence in Xida State, you should already be aware that your application for the affiliated territory has been approved.”

Fang Ze nodded slightly without concealment.

Guan Shou continued, “Then you should also know that the speed of this approval was a bit strange?”

Fang Ze nodded and said, “Yes. I know that Council Members from all parties oddly pulled together to help me complete this application.”

Although Guan Shou said Fang Ze “should know” this news, seeing that Fang Ze indeed knew about it, there was still a trace of surprise on the faces of the three.

After exchanging glances, Guan Shou spoke with a smile, “Well, actually, it’s very simple. Our thinking is the same as theirs. We all just want to show goodwill toward Family Head Fang Ze.”

“It’s just that they have their own people and forces in Xida State and dare to make bold moves. We, on the other hand, didn’t bring experts to Xida State, and even if we did bring experts, we wouldn’t dare to make a move so easily. That’s why we chose the safer option of informing you in advance.”

After receiving the answers from the three, Fang Ze’s guess was somewhat confirmed.

However, for a moment, he was really at a loss for words: Are these people fools? To show goodwill, they first expedited the affiliated city proposal, forcing him to go to the affiliated city and into a dangerous situation. Then they plan to rescue him when he faces danger.

How is that for logic? Who would thank anyone for such ‘lifesaving’ help?!

But upon reflection, Fang Ze was startled once more.

He felt… he might have missed something.

While these forces were doing this, they had no idea about the others’ intentions.

In their minds, maybe they thought that only their own pressure wouldn’t be enough to approve the affiliated city application, giving them ample time to strategize. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

In that case, they might gain Fang Ze’s double goodwill without arousing his suspicion.

As a result, nobody expected their ideas to strangely converge, leading to today’s awkward situation….

Fang Ze speculated that many people were probably feeling a headache after this incident and would likely adjust their strategies.

Not to mention others, take He Weidao, that old fox. No matter how smoothly he had facilitated his own request before, now seeing so many people protecting Fang Ze, he might just come up with some scheme to trap him….

…..

Meanwhile, just as Fang Ze was arranging his thoughts about He Weidao.

At a farmhouse in the outskirts of the Provincial Government.

He Weidao, upon hearing a Council Member report on the entire development of the incident, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

After laughing, he commented, “It seems the Si Family’s second Mortality-Shedding rank has got a lot of people thinking.”

“So one after another, they all want to gain favor with Brother Fang Ze.”

“Now, with so many people trying to help at the same time, things have become interesting. Now we have to see how that young fellow will handle the matter.”

Hearing He Weidao’s words, the reporting Council Member quietly asked, “My lord. Then… do we just do nothing?”

He Weidao replied indifferently, “Since there are so many people wanting to work for us, let us just rest and watch how things unfold.”

“Let’s see what they plan to do.”

“There might be some unexpected gains….”

Hearing He Weidao’s words, the Council Member quickly made a flattery remark, “Yes, Chairperson.”

After that, the two exchanged a few more casual words. Seeing He Weidao showed no further interest, the Council Member took his leave.

However, after his departure, what he was unaware of was that the once cheerful He Weidao’s smile gradually faded, his expression grew stern, and his gaze became dark and inscrutable,
