anwhile,
on the Sky Mother Ship.
Deputy Officer Chang Qing had finally run to the door of the luxury room where Fang Ze was staying.
On the way there, his heart was filled with trendous worry and regret.
He feared that the recent spatial transfer fluctuation ant Fang Ze had escaped.
If that were the case, then he would have truly failed the Inspector, who had always cultivated him with care!
Fang Ze, being a major suspect, wasn't closely watched by the Federal Defense Team, which was clearly a significant oversight.
Especially given the errors in the case of "Yang Transformation Level's death" and the "interest conflicts between the Federation and the major nobility," even the Inspector would have a headache.
All of this was because of his leniency the day before.
Thinking thus, the Deputy Officer arrived at the door of the luxury room where Fang Ze was staying and hastily knocked on Fang Ze's door, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Once, twice, thrice, four tis... the Deputy Officer's knocking didn't pause, but there was also no response from inside the room.
Seeing that this approach was futile, the Deputy Officer knew he couldn't wait any longer.
His heart set, he lifted his foot, and then "Boom!"—he kicked the door of the luxury room open!
The luxury room's wooden door shattered on impact.
The loud noise imdiately attracted all the mbers of the Federal Defense Team on that floor.
Even the door to Lady Jin's room at the other end of the corridor opened, and there she stood in her silk pajamas and a coat, at her doorway, trying to figure out what had happened.
But by this ti, the Deputy Officer couldn't worry about that anymore.
He strode into Fang Ze's room, calling out as he went, "Director Fang Ze! Are you there?!"
"Director Fang Ze, are you there?"
"The Sky Mother Ship has detected an intruder, an assassin has sneaked in. I'm worried about your safety!"
Calling out along the way, the Deputy Officer proceeded, but there was still no response from Fang Ze.
The Deputy Officer's heart slowly sank.
So, he made his way to the living room and also heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.
Having previously seen through the surveillance that Fang Ze had entered the bathroom, but also knowing that there were no caras inside to confirm whether Fang Ze really was in there, the Deputy Officer didn't stop just because of the sound of water.
He continued to call out, "Director Fang Ze, are you alright? Are you in the bathroom? I'm coming in." And with that, he forcefully slid the bathroom door open.
At that very mont, the glass door of the shower room was also pushed open from the inside.
A clean "Fang Ze" wrapped in a bath towel, humming a tune, stepped out with one foot.
At that mont, ti seed to stand still.
Fang Ze and the Deputy Officer locked eyes, both sowhat stupefied.
After a mont, "Fang Ze" exclaid in surprise, "Oh, co on!" then, clutching the towel with one hand and eyeing the Deputy Officer warily, he asked, "Deputy Officer, what are you doing? I told you my tastes are very normal. There's no chance for anything between us!"
Seeing Fang Ze erge from the shower, the Deputy Officer was clearly surprised as well.
He scrutinized Fang Ze carefully and then couldn't help but ask, "Director Fang Ze, have you... been in the shower this whole ti?"
"Fang Ze" looked at him as if he were an idiot, replying, "No. I was swimming in the bathroom."
Hearing Fang Ze's sarcasm, the Deputy Officer realized his question had been foolish.
He gave an awkward smile but didn't give up on his inquiry, probing further, "Then why didn't you respond to earlier?"
"Fang Ze" gave him a strange look, puzzled, and asked, "Respond to what? What do you an?"
Seeing no slip in Fang Ze's deanor, the Deputy Officer's heart settled a bit, feeling he might have been too sensitive.
He smiled and "explained" to Fang Ze, "I'm sorry, Director Fang Ze. An assassin entered the Sky Mother Ship earlier, and I was worried about your safety, so I rushed in to make sure you were okay."
At this ti, "Fang Ze" seed to regain his composure.
He thought for two seconds, then lifted his head, looking at the Deputy Officer with a half-smile and said, "That doesn't sound right, Deputy Officer. You couldn't suspect that I'm in league with the assassin and ca to apprehend them, could you?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, the Deputy Officer laughed heartily, responding, "No, no. You've misunderstood."
With that, he turned and walked toward the exit.
"Fang Ze" grimaced and then, still clutching the towel, bent down to pick up his clothes, preparing to get dressed.
Just as the situation seed to be resolved, suddenly, the Deputy Officer, who had just stepped out of the bathroom, spun around sharply. He looked at Fang Ze, raised his hand, and instantly "swoosh!"—a dart shot towards Fang Ze!
"Damn it!", at that mont, every muscle, tendon, and skin mbrane in Fang Ze's body was activated, and he used Instant Step to shift several ters away, completely vacating his original spot.
The dart "clinked!" into the ground!
Dodging the dart, Fang Ze glared up and yelled at the Deputy Officer, "Are you insane?! What are you doing?!"
Hearing Fang Ze's words and confirming that the person before him wasn't a clone, the Deputy Officer imdiately apologized profusely, "I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry. Director Fang Ze. It was a slip of the hand!"
With that, he continued, "Please get dressed quickly. I'll wait outside for you! I owe you a sincere apology!"
