Clang!
Zhou Zhengde kicked open the bathroom door and hurried to the outside of the ward.
"Search my office! Find all the caras! The gang installed caras in my office!"
Several mbers of the Law Enforcent Team ran off.
Zhou Zhengde let out a sigh of relief, returned to the ward, and squeezed his eyes hard.
He walked despondently to the bedside, smiling apologetically at Wang Jixuan.
"I'm sorry, I also didn't know that I have been used by Ban Wenying all along, and my mother is also very to bla... Rember, it wasn't you who took out Ban and the old lady, it was Thomas, you just killed Thomas, which will save a lot of trouble later on."
"Okay."
Wang Jixuan sighed lightly:
"I'm ntally exhausted now, also sowhat unable to distinguish what is right, what is evil, what is real, what is fake."
"Mu Liang, Ye Zi's matter has hit you hard, hasn't it?"
Wei Na said softly, noticing this:
"Think about it, whom did your landlady teach?
"So researcher, Thomas, Wen Heisen probably has sothing to do with her, too.
"That old lady is the black hole of Lower City, the black hole of human nature, the closer you get to her the more likely you are to be twisted by her, Xiao Yezi was just an extension of her evil thoughts... This kind of twisted personality is clearly and detailedly described in the fortress's manual of psychological diseases."
Wang Jixuan smiled: "I'm not that fragile, just couldn't accept it for a mont, it's the first ti I've been exposed to these things."
Zhou Zhengde hung his head: "Alright, I've been played by Ban Wenying the whole ti, and I even called her 'sister', thinking about helping her to get a seat in the Council later on."
Wang Jixuan asked, "How is Black Fire Gang doing?"
"Mostly resolved," Zhou Zhengde perked up, "I've still got things to attend to, that's all."
Zhou Zhengde twisted his mouth lightly:
"My mother is actually just an excellent accountant and planner, she could sit in her current position because many people supported her.
"But my mother is too domineering, only when my grandfather scolds her a few tis will she quiet down.
"I can foresee that because of the Ban Wenying issue, my mother will be put in a passive position, we will too, and I also need to think of ways to turn passivity into initiative."
Wei Na added: "Aunt Zhou is actually not bad, after all, Zheng De was taught by her; but you know, inside the fortress, maybe everyone's a little abnormal."
Zhou Zhengde earnestly said: "I relied on my own ability and entered the Upper City Law Enforcent Team through a fully anonymous exam, and beca the deputy team leader after solving several big cases."
"Yes, your ability," Wei Na snorted, "as if ordinary people could participate in that exam."
Zhou Zhengde imdiately didn't know how to retort.
Wang Jixuan's train of thought shifted slightly.
He smiled and said: "So, can I quietly cultivate now, return to my own temper, back to a peaceful life?"
"Of course, you can!"
Zhou Zhengde rubbed his nose:
"But, before that, I would like to clarify one thing, we're friends now, right? Comrades, friends, buddies."
"Yes," Wang Jixuan gave a firm reply.
It was mainly because he owed this guy too many favors.
"How about we celebrate tonight? Just at my dorm, Wei Na and one of her female colleagues will also join us. Let's have a small gathering to celebrate the successful eradication of the Black Fire Gang."
Zhou Zhengde smiled and said,
"There are still many things to do in Lower City, but I guarantee they will never threaten you again. The Clean-up troops will be stationed in the Black Fire Gang's territory for three months."
"I've submitted a proposal for the standardized operation of the blood product industry, which is to manage the supply of blood products to the United Defense Army as an official business, directly overseen by the authorities. The Governor's secretary feedback was very positive."
"Although this will only have a partial effect, it's still better than doing nothing at all."
"Also, Mu Liang, that large-caliber sniper rifle and the remaining grenades have been sent back to the army by my people. Other items, such as pistols, protective gear, and helts—those with limited firepower—I've helped you move to your new dorm."
"You are now the 'Thirteen-story Security Patrol Deputy Team Leader,' with a weekly salary of a general quota of 45, a food quota of 40, a dical quota of 10, and legal gun ownership rights."
"There's another key point of interest here, which is that secret ledger and list of nas from your landlady... Do you rember?"
The ledger and nas?
Wang Jixuan nodded slightly, "The landlady's list, I've heard of it."
"Yes, that's the one, the criminal records of Upper City elders and the Thirteenth Institute of 76 Fortress," Zhou Zhengde sighed, "With this, I could send them to prison."
Wang Jixuan thought for a mont, "I can go down there and find it, as a way to repay the favor."
"Don't go! The Thirteen Spiritual Ability Users have already rushed down there, and they're also looking for that list. All sorts of people have stord into the 49th Floor."
Zhou Zhengde shook his head,
"Compared to that, your safety is more important."
"That dirty list will definitely be a major focus. I've already had three high-ranking officials inquire about it secretly, or else I wouldn't have noticed. It's likely to cause so ripples later."
"In last night's intense firefight, all the high and middle ranks of the Black Fire Gang were wiped out with no survivors, including that Wen Heisen... The Clean-up troops did it on purpose, and the Thirteen Spiritual Ability Users took out a portion of the Black Fire Gang's henchn."
"It would have been better if one or two of them had survived."
Wang Jixuan smiled and said, "I hadn't considered that list before, and I was too heavy-handed."
"That's good, you're doing the right and just thing!"
"Don't feel guilty about these matters. We are not gods. Your efforts have played a positive role in contributing towards the revival of human civilization."
Zhou Zhengde clapped his hands,
"I'm going to keep an eye on things, and then prepare a small, very proper party, just to celebrate our taking down the Black Fire Gang."
Having said that, he humd a cheerful tune and strode away.
A party?
Right now, Wang Jixuan just wanted to find another place like the Wanli Gold Greenhouse District to cultivate.
Wei Na muttered on the side, "May I presu to ask, if I were to invite a female colleague, would you personally prefer she wear a long dress or a short one, black stockings or white, younger or more mature, conservative or open-minded? More precisely, do you think waist-to-hip ratio is more important, or longer legs or a fuller chest? My young colleagues wouldn't refuse to start dating a young officer of the Security Patrol."
Wang Jixuan answered seriously, "The soul, a pure soul is most important."
Wei Na gave a secret middle finger before leaving.
From an angle Wang Jixuan couldn't see.
