Once, I wanted to be a good person

"Therefore, we merchants fully understand the recent passage closures. We just hope that the situation in the Eastern Administrative Region transitions as smoothly as possible and remains stable as before. As for when to open them again, it entirely depends on your considerations, Chairpersons."

When Bai Ling’s father said the first half of his sentence, the East State Chairperson’s face was still full of smiles, nodding occasionally, but when he mentioned the latter half, the East State Chairperson’s smile had disappeared, obviously... this was not what he wanted Bai Ling’s father to convey. He wished Bai Ling’s father could influence Fang Ze to quickly reopen the space passage.

It must be said though, Chairperson Liu’s arrangement indeed had a significant effect: originally, Fang Ze genuinely did not care about opening the space passages in the administrative region. Through today’s tour, however, he realized that continuing to close off the nation like this would certainly not work.

After all, if the blockade continues, not only will these major merchants face issues, but also affect the ordinary people influenced by these merchants in the Eastern Administrative Region, such as those picking Lantern Grass, or farmers raising Fire Bulls.

Thinking of this, Fang Ze secretly noted this matter. He decided that upon his return, he would stabilize the situation in the entire administrative region and then attempt to reopen the space passages.

Thus, after finishing the entire tour, Fang Ze checked the time; it was already four o’clock.

He looked at the East State Chairperson and proactively spoke, "Chairperson Liu, I understand your message. After returning, we will study the matter of opening the space passage."

"However, I need to first visit the Central State and meet with a few elders."

"So....." Saying this, Fang Ze gave the East State Chairperson a deep look, "Shall we head to the Central Station now?"

Seeing Fang Ze’s meaningful gaze, Chairperson Liu was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized that the situation at the Central Station had already been discovered by Fang Ze.

Although he couldn’t figure out through what channel Fang Ze knew about this matter, for a moment, he could only awkwardly smile and say, "Alright, I will escort Chairperson Fang to the Central Station."

Saying this, he paused for a moment and added, "However, Chairperson Fang, there was a small incident with your train, so your journey may be delayed."

Fang Ze replied nonchalantly, "I know. Let Minister Black Shark ride with me and explain the situation."

Chairperson Liu, hearing this, could only nod.

On the way to the Central Station, Black Shark got onto the car Fang Ze was riding in, and on the vehicle, Black Shark reported the detailed situation of the train disappearance case to Fang Ze.

Overall, in order to express their regard for Fang Ze, the Federation specifically allocated a maglev train to East State. This train arrived two days ago and has been docked at a secret platform in the Central Station. And to serve Fang Ze well, East State specially selected six young and beautiful female attendants.

These six female attendants went daily to check the train and prepare for Fang Ze’s service. But today, after they checked the train, in just a moment’s turn, the colossal maglev train vanished just like that.

After the incident occurred, East State’s Security Bureau and Special Service Department both rushed over to investigate. They found no residual fluctuations of Power of Laws or Divine Power at the scene. Checking the surveillance, the train indeed disappeared out of thin air, with no suspicious personnel appearing in the footage, nor any tampering traces.

One could say, the entire incident was extremely bizarre.

After listening to Black Shark, Fang Ze couldn’t help but laugh. He said, "So does this mean even the World Origin couldn’t stand it and just erased that special train?"

Black Shark responded with a dark expression, "This matter is indeed very strange. But it is definitely man-made, someone intentionally trying to disgrace you and the elders, or deliberately sowing discord among the Human Race."

As the Minister of the Special Service Department, Black Shark is considered a loyal supporter of the elders. So with such an occurrence, he obviously showed anger.

Seeing him like that, Fang Ze said, "Do you have any thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, Black Shark resolutely shook his head and said firmly, "No!"

"Our Special Service Department’s primary work is infiltration and anti-infiltration, so we’re not familiar with solving cases. Solving cases is the Security Bureau’s job."

Fang Ze nodded, then leaned his head against the headrest and asked, "So what does the East State Security Bureau say?"

Black Shark said, "They currently have no leads."

Speaking of this, Black Shark continued, "As for the several Chairpersons of East State, they are not in the mood to solve cases now, they’re just thinking about how to handle this matter perfectly."

"Their current thoughts are of two types. One is to wait another two hours for East State’s own train to return, then clear the passengers and treat it as your special train. Although it would be late, your entry into Central State would remain prestigious."

"The second is an upgrade. Directly dispatch a fleet of medium-sized aircraft as an escort, accompanying you to Central State."

After hearing Black Shark’s words, Fang Ze gently shook his head and said, "No matter which plan, we must first solve the case, or at least find a direction and start apprehending suspects."

"Otherwise, with the train stolen, without knowing who did it, being forced to change entry methods to Central State, isn’t that still being led by the nose? It would still be a laughing matter to others."

"But if suspect clues can be quickly found, pursued, and captured, not only can it deter onlookers, but the masterminds would also be panicked, and that is how face can be regained."
