But she had no choice.
From the mont Old Mr. Bai saved her from the burning ruins, her life no longer belonged to herself; it belonged to the Bai Family.
Moreover, Old Mr. Bai had always treated her well, considering her as his goddaughter, sending her to school, teaching her martial arts, helping her awaken as an Awakener, arranging her job at the Security Bureau, and nurturing her investigative skills.
She couldn't let Old Mr. Bai down; she could only work hard, solve cases, achieve results, and not embarrass him.
Later, during a mission, she t the love of her life. The two fell in love at first sight. To be with him, she tearfully pleaded with Old Mr. Bai, hoping he would grant her wish.
The scene was etched in her mory forever. Old Mr. Bai, sitting under the waterfall, looked at her with sorrow and slowly shook his head, then said, "I can give you freedom. But... you are destined to have no result. Try if you must."
Ultimately, Old Mr. Bai's words proved prophetic.
Since then, she never smiled again.
She returned to the Bai Family like a lost dog, her heart dead with no will to live. She just wanted to dedicate everything she had to her final place of attachnt and then die....
When Old Mr. Bai learned of her thoughts, he asked her one question, "Are you truly ready to give up everything?"
She nodded.
And so... with the support of Old Mr. Bai, she beca the Director of the Security Bureau. Then, under his instruction, she spread rumors that she had a rift with the Bai Family, that Old Mr. Bai had not only stopped her from pursuing love but also refused to save her beloved after the Si Family's incident. Consequently, step by step, she was drawn in by He Weidao, becoming a double agent under Old Mr. Bai's guidance.
She would report He Weidao's movents to Old Mr. Bai and inform He Weidao about the Bai Family and Security Bureau, or assist He Weidao in certain tasks.
During this period, she uncovered many secrets:
For instance, nobles are no longer of the sa species as humans and could rebel at any ti. In fact, a significant number of nobles have already tested these boundaries....
For example, the Federation has consistently sought to weaken the nobles. During certain periods, Awakener families privately hunted nobles, claiming they were searching for the thod to beco nobles themselves, under the covert encouragent of the Federation....
Torn between gratitude and righteousness. Between family and race. Honestly, over the years, the female director has gradually beco confused.
Additionally, contact with Old Mr. Bai beca less frequent over the years. When she called to report, Old Mr. Bai usually responded with a simple "Got it" and nothing more. This made her even more bewildered. She often suspected that Old Mr. Bai never truly intended for her to be a double agent but was purposely pushing her out....
In recent years, the only ti Old Mr. Bai personally called was to instruct her to promote Fang Ze to Director.
This was the real reason behind the female director's unique attitude toward Fang Ze.
She felt that after losing her life-long love, she was also losing the only family she had.
She was like a kite released by Old Mr. Bai, with the string too loose, drifting aimlessly in the sky. Only Fang Ze... seed to give her a faint sense of that string again.
After all, Fang Ze was special. Over the years, she had asked Old Mr. Bai several tis to promote Bai Zhi, but he always replied, "Do as you see fit." Yet, when He Weidao wanted to promote Fang Ze to the Provincial Governnt, Old Mr. Bai, after a long silence, said, "Okay."
Thinking of this, the female director couldn't help but picture Fang Ze.
"Fang Ze... Fang Ze..."
....
anwhile.
Fang Ze, who was being discussed by He Weidao and the female director, had already begun visiting the council mbers working in the Governing Hall as per the prearranged plan.
Because all these council mbers were working in the Governing Hall, it saved Fang Ze a lot of ti. Moreover, Fang Ze had learned his lesson from visiting Councilor Jia yesterday. He used his annual expenditure quota to buy a batch of gifts and t the council mbers under the guise of gifting.
Giving gifts was much quicker than chatting. Present the gift, assess their aura, chat briefly, and then leave. So Fang Ze's efficiency was incredibly high.
In just one morning, he t all 14 council mbers in the Governing Hall.
Of course, Fang Ze also t Councilor Xu, who was under suspicion by Old Xu.
As Fang Ze had expected, this council mber's aura was indeed the sa as that of a Believer of Dahei Jialuo: black energy with hidden multicolored lights.
Besides this council mber, Fang Ze had another unexpected discovery. He t a council mber nad Councilor Jiu'ao, whose aura was also the sa as a Believer of Dahei Jialuo.
