Chapter 1170: Chapter 336: Central District Shaken (Part 2)
Seeing Xin Ji starting to drift again, Yun finally couldn’t stand it. She yelled “Ah!” loudly, then, with a flick of her long legs, she leapt into the air and delivered a double kick to Xin Ji!
Although Xin Ji was somewhat chatty, his strength was undeniable. So even though Yun attacked by surprise, he quickly crossed his hands in front of himself, blocking the wave of attacks in his shock!
However, Yun’s strength was clearly not simple either, so even though he managed to block the double kick, he was still forced back a few steps.
After sending Xin Ji flying with her kick, Yun landed on the ground and glared at him with disappointment, saying, “Yesterday in class, Meng had already introduced Chairperson Fang’s project. That project is the first research base of the Human Race studying the Divine Fiend, where Chairperson Fang’s unique techniques to control the Divine Fiend, methods of restoring Divine Power, and ways demigods can enter hibernation among other cutting-edge research will be involved.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and at least 70% of the students in the Ziwei Class signed up immediately. More students from other classes like the Tiantong Class, Giant Gate Class, and Qisha Class signed up too.”
“Judging by the final number of admissions, it seems it will break through 20 to 1. And yet there you are, holding onto preconceived notions and failing to sign up!”
Yun paused briefly, then added, “Moreover, regarding Chairperson Fang’s recent arrests of so many people. You only see the surface, not the true core.”
“Haven’t you noticed that the Special Investigation Team isn’t randomly arresting people? And that their methods differ when arresting people?”
“Some are directly barred and apprehended, while some are politely invited for investigation. This difference in attitude clearly shows that Chairperson Fang and his team have already discovered some concrete evidence and are investigating the powers behind this case.”
“Combined with the tacit attitude of the five elders, the inside story of this case might not be as simple as it seems.”
Saying this, Yun shook her head slightly and said with some disappointment, “Xin Ji, you’ve lost your rationality because of your biases.”
“You should calm down a bit. Continuing like this makes it difficult for you to comprehend the realm of Unity.”
After finishing, she turned and left the practice field.
Watching her lithe yet powerful figure reminiscent of a panther, Xin Ji was momentarily dazed…
Meanwhile, the conversation between both of them was fully overheard by the other Ziwei Class students. Most of them showed no change in their expressions, evidently having already pieced together this information from the clues, though a small part were as dazed as Xin Ji…
….
Compared to the heavenly talents of the Ziwei Class at the Polaris Base, others did not have such a clear view of the event.
Moreover, most did not look favorably upon a provincial governor being allowed to stir up so much trouble, and it had all the hallmarks of a precursor to an accounting party by the elders of the Federation.
This led to the Security Bureau and Special Service Department, which were instructed by Fang to assist in the operation, feeling jittery during this period.
In Central State, at the Federal Security Bureau, Judicial Department, several disheveled commissioners were chatting with worried expressions while drinking water.
“Sigh. Have you counted how many people we’ve arrested these days?”
“I haven’t. But I estimate at least a hundred. Even our Security Bureau’s temporary prison is about to overflow.”
“Sigh. Do you think this is feasible? It would be disastrous if all this commotion produces no results in the end.”
“Isn’t that the truth? We’ve offended so many people with these arrests. If it ends in failure, we’ll have a tough time for the next year or two….”
Similar conversations also surface from time to time in the Special Service Department.
Although the Security Bureau and Special Service Department hold a rather unique position compared to other departments, support from various aspects is still required to gather evidence, travel, handle cases, and make arrests.
Even if other departments, due to the special status of both departments, dare not deliberately cause troubles, the difference in efficiency between wholehearted help and following the rules and working by procedure is immense. Therefore, both departments were growing ever more anxious and disheartened…
….
Meanwhile.
While stirring up hidden currents in Central State.
In a conference room on the first floor of the Federal Security Bureau building.
The Special Investigation Team was holding an internal meeting.
All the attendees were old acquaintances Fang had brought over from the Eastern Administrative Region.
There were Lan Bing, Bai Ling, Fang’s former roommate Wang Hao, his old rival Gu Qing, and Fang’s loyal aides Wen Long and Wu Hu from the State Security Bureau Judicial Department in Xida State. And also… Fang’s initial superior, Director Pang, who had constantly schemed against Fang and was later incarcerated in the State Security Bureau prison in Xida State.
The other members of the investigation team were all elite commissioners of the Judicial Department at Xida State Security Bureau.
It can be said that, to investigate this incident, Fang truly gathered all the talented individuals he had come across into this investigation team.
Lan Bing and Bai Ling need not be said. They are true allies, and with Fang needing help now, he certainly brought them over first.
As for the two heads of the Judicial Department and that batch of commissioners, they were the first that helped Fang understand what a capable and efficient team truly is. Though Fang’s time with them was not long, he indeed thought of them first.
In Gu Qing’s case, Fang always had a good impression. Although the two were once enemies, Gu Qing never used any lowly tactics, even helping Fang out of tight spots at times. Adding the fact that his Awakening Ability fits interrogation and his excellent analysis skills, Fang also brought him along.
With Wang Hao, it was simpler. Fang simply thought his Mind Power might serve well at times and wanted to give him a bit of a push, so he put out the notice for him.
As for Director Pang… he can be said to be the most exceptional among the group: he is not a federal official and can even be considered an internal traitor of the Federation.
But he’s talented besides being cunning, and he was once a subordinate of the Bandage Woman Xin Yi. Plus, Fang always suspected the case is related to the organization behind Xin Yi.
Thus, after much consideration, he ultimately brought him out from the Security Bureau prison and used both persuasive and rational means to successfully control his actions, allowing him to work wholeheartedly for Fang.
Though the makeup of the investigation team is overly complex, with relations varied widely from earlier experiences with Fang, honestly speaking, Fang now far exceeds them in strength, influence, or authority.
When the gap reaches such a level, controlling or directing them becomes trivial for Fang. Past grudges have almost all faded into mere jokes, with no one dwelling on former matters.
Thus, this extravagant team progressed swiftly with the case. Within just two days, they had made a breakthrough.
In the conference room, Gu Qing stood in front of the whiteboard, writing and drawing with a marker pen while summarizing recent intelligence gathered from the investigation to Fang and the others.
As he had completely lost any hope of competing with Fang, Gu Qing’s mentality leveled and returned to his formerly lazy and slack demeanor.
After he quickly finished writing on the whiteboard and yawned, he slowly said, “These past few days, we followed the list to arrest people, capturing 6 individuals suspected of involvement in the train disappearance case, and bringing in 102 suspected participants of this extreme ideological faction among civil servants.”
“Through inquiries and interrogations, I’ve basically clarified these individuals’ relations and involvement regarding the case and faction.”
“From these total of 108 people, 13 had merely the ideological inclination and were invited to join these gatherings but had not served the organization. Or perhaps…. were yet to serve.”
“Of the remaining 95 people, 9 are core members and organizers of this faction. The other 86 have all, to varying degrees, participated in illegal criminal activities.”
