"A gift?" Bai Ling was clearly a bit surprised.
Her watery big eyes looked at Fang Ze, sowhat incredulous.

She had obviously not expected the man before her to actually give her a gift.
Fang Ze nodded, "That's right. Consider it a thank-you present for lending so much money."
Bai Ling cocked her head, "Then why tomorrow, why not give it to now?"
Fang Ze smiled and patted her little head, "Because preparing a gift also takes ti."
"Oh~" Bai Ling nodded sowhat confusedly...
........
Five minutes later, Bai Ling returned to the Secret Bureau's secret base, hopping back with a huge hamr on her back.
As soon as she entered the secret base, she happily shouted, "Bai, it seems like Fang Ze has no issues, and he even repaid the money."
Listening to Bai Ling's words, Bai Zhi, who had watched the conversation between the two the whole ti, turned her head with a strange look in her eyes.
Probably not knowing what had gotten into her.
Bai Ling touched her round cheeks, a little puzzled, "What's the matter, Bai?"
Bai Zhi gave her a weird look and said, "It's nothing..."
"Bai Ling. Maybe you should do less business from now on?"
Bai Ling, "Huh?"
Bai Zhi, "I'm afraid you might get sold, and you'll even help the seller count the money."
Bai Ling: ?????
....
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Fang Ze was happy all day, and he also made everyone in the Special Case Team feel a bit weird all day long.
Night fell, and everything finally began to quiet down.
Late at night, in the Security Bureau's secret base.
Bai Zhi stood with her arms crossed, looking at the screen image of Fang Ze, her eyebrows completely furrowed together.
After a mont, she picked up the walkie-talkie and commanded, "Increase the patrol staff tonight, enhance the defenses. Commissioners to team up in groups of four and be on standby outside the temporary residence."
Bai Ling's voice ca through the walkie-talkie, "Okay, Bai. What about the investigators?"
Bai Zhi said, "They proceed as usual, there's no need to notify them."
"Affirmative."
After giving the orders, Bai Zhi looked at the screen in front of her, but her expression did not change in the slightest.
She murmured softly, "Sothing's not right, not right at all. I've got a feeling that sothing's going to happen."
...
anwhile.....
In the temporary residence.
An investigator with eyes wide open lay on the bed, resembling a corpse, while another person in uniform, wearing gold-frad glasses, was quietly observing the Security Bureau Commissioners' arrangents by the window.
"Bai Zhi, that crazy woman, is not entirely foolish after all."
"She's finally noticed sothing's off."
At that point, he paused, then adjusted his glasses, a mysterious light flickering in his eyes,
"But... that periphery mber is indeed strange."
"He's obviously trying to escape."
"But... how could he possibly get away?"
"Awakened so kind of escape ability?"
"Acquired so critical artifact?"
"But... that's not right."
"The Special Case Team has been blocking access, and the organization hasn't contacted him, so where did he get it from?"
Muttering this to himself, he suddenly froze, "Could it be... did he get his hands on that thing?"
With that thought, his entire deanor suddenly beca solemn.
He moved away from the window and began pacing around the room, "No... the plan has to change."
"Lucky for , I left a mark on him."
"Otherwise, this would be really problematic..."
.......
anwhile.....
In the temporary residence.
Fang Ze sat on the bed, looking at the parchnt in his hands, and then revealed the brightest smile of his entire day.
"Extraordinary Artifact: Prank Map."
"This map allows one to play the 'Prank Ga' once every two days."
"Once the 'Prank Ga' begins, the map will automatically map out the environnt within a 10-kiloter radius of the user."
"Users can teleport to a specific location on the map within two days at any designated ti."
"However, before teleporting, one must tell soone close by that they are going to leave, to allow them to search for oneself."
To be honest, when Fang Ze saw this artifact last night, he was truly stunned.
He really wondered if there was a Goddess of Luck in this world. Otherwise, why would whatever he wished for just co true?
Originally, he was worried that he hadn't trained for long enough and, even with the "Usury" ability, he would still be unable to break out of the Security Bureau's encirclent.
But now, with this item.....
Fang Ze thought: What's the point of fighting and killing? I'm soone who uses my brain! I'm not a rash man!
Of course, his Awakening Ability and the effects of the borrowed training were not wasted either.
Not to ntion his cost-free Awakening Ability, he would need certain martial skills to protect himself if he encountered pursuing personnel or wild animals in the jungle while escaping.
So with the Awakening Ability and this Extraordinary Artifact, Fang Ze's plan to escape was finally perfected.
He swore he would never return to this broken Special Case Team again!
...Well, unless there was a special circumstance.
And while Fang Ze was thinking this way, Wang Hao laid half-lying on the bed, looked at Fang Ze, and probed, "Fang Ze, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
As the Investigator in charge of watching the prisoner, according to the Security Bureau's requirents, Wang Hao had to sleep later and wake up earlier than Fang Ze to monitor his every move in the dormitory.
Previously, Fang Ze always went to sleep very early, but for so reason today, Fang Ze was incredibly alert and had been fiddling with various things.
Now, he was holding a tattered sheepskin parchnt, lost in thought.
And combining this with Fang Ze's strange actions throughout the day, Wang Hao felt like sothing was about to happen...
Upon hearing Wang Hao's words, Fang Ze also ca back to his senses.
He looked at the dormitory clock, and the ti was about to co.
So... he looked at Wang Hao with a particularly sincere and serious gaze for the first ti.
He spoke earnestly, "Mouse. You're actually a really decent person."
"Although, I know our identities are opposed, I don't dislike you," he continued.
"Your little haughtiness, your reticence. Sotis, they're quite amusing."
"However... people are social animals. Being silent and unsociable isn't good in the long run."
"After I leave, take care of yourself, chat more with your colleagues, interact with them. Don't always keep to yourself."
"As for ... don't worry about . I'll eat the fruits you gave on the way, I won't starve...."
"..."
At the beginning of Fang Ze's words, Wang Hao hadn't reacted yet.
But soon, he realized sothing was wrong: Stop! Opposing identities? Leaving? On the road?!
He suddenly started with alarm, sat up from the bed, and looked at Fang Ze in fright.
Seeing his expression, Fang Ze smiled candidly and nodded, "Yes. I've known all along."
Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Wang Hao was completely dumbfounded. His mind kept replaying one sentence: He knew, he actually knew everything?!
For a mont, he was flustered and didn't know what to do.
But then, he rembered his identity and responsibilities.
So, he involuntarily stood up from the bed, ready to pounce on Fang Ze and subdue him.
Just then, suddenly, Fang Ze threw a "hidden weapon" at him.
Wang Hao reflexively paused, then reached out to catch it.
Then he heard Fang Ze say, "Oh yeah. Almost forgot."
"This is a parting gift for Chief Bai Ling. Please deliver it for ."
"And also, convey a ssage for ... say thanks for her trust."
Wang Hao's action was interrupted, and he couldn't help but look down at the "hidden weapon" in his hand.
It was a gray cloth bag. It looked small and felt light to hold. He didn't know what was inside.
And as Wang Hao was thinking this, Fang Ze jumped down from the bed. He then shouldered the pile of fruits prepared a few days ago for his trip to Qingshan City—fruits that Wang Hao had given him—and picked up… the chair beside the bed.
Then he gave Wang Hao a carefree smile, waved his hand, "So, goodbye, Mouse. You're welco to co and find ."
Seeing his manner, Wang Hao rushed forward in surprise, grabbed him, and cried out, "No!"
For a mont...
Wang Hao, clinging to Fang Ze like a koala, found themselves hugging each other, staring eye to eye.
Looking closely at Fang Ze, Wang Hao slowly ford a questioning mark above his head: ?
Fang Ze awkwardly glanced at the dormitory's clock, then looked down at his own watch and swore, "Damn it. Our dormitory clock is fast."
Accompanying his words, suddenly, his figure holding the bundle and the chair turned into a phantom and disappeared on the spot.
Wang Hao, left embracing thin air, nearly tripped and fell to the ground in his failed attempt to hold on.
For a mont, as Wang Hao staggered to his feet, he looked at the vanishing outline of Fang Ze, sweat rolling down his forehead!
Then, he dashed to the door, flung it open, and shouted into the outside, "Soone! Quick, soone! Fang Ze has escaped!!"
The hoarse cry echoed throughout the temporary residence, over the villa, setting off a flurry of lights.
The originally quiet and settled temporary residence was suddenly in an uproar, with people tumbling over each other...
The Security Bureau Commissioners, who were standing shifts in groups of four outside the temporary residence, all rushed into the temporary residence upon hearing the shout...
