Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 511 - 115. Black Hand, Black Foot, Black Buddha Head! (10,000 words asking for monthly passes!)_2
"All are highly practical medical abilities."
"She was trained by the State Security Bureau as a Medical Awakener, and her abilities were also acquired through Special Awakening, so her attitude is impartial."
"Normally at meetings, she hardly speaks. A bit transparent."
Hearing this, Fang Ze stroked his chin in thought.
After a moment, he suddenly paused. Then he looked up at Bai Zhi, "Wait a minute."
"You've now mentioned three departments, two are Gu Qing's people, one is neutral."
"But if I remember correctly, the remaining three departments are the General Affairs Department, Personnel Department, and Case Affairs Department."

"The head of the Personnel Department is Zhuang Bo, a staunch supporter of Gu Qing,"
"The head of the Case Affairs Department has just been promoted from the Personnel Department and is from the Neutral Faction."
"The head of General Affairs is also a character with a softer personality from the Neutral Faction."
"This being said, having been deputy director for so many years, you haven't controlled any of the six departments?!"
Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi's face flushed red, and she exclaimed, "What is that supposed to mean!"
"I'm just not good at forming cliques, that's all!"
At this moment, Bai Ling, who had been quietly listening in on the side, softly said to Fang Ze, "Actually, Bai has made her efforts too."
"At the beginning, those from the Neutral Faction were actually inclined towards her."
"But then...."
"Um...."
Bai Ling didn't finish her sentence, but Fang Ze had already understood.
He guessed... Later on, those neutral ones gradually realized that Bai Zhi was quite ineffective. She seemed impressive and could bluster well, but always failed at critical moments and wasn't worth aligning with.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help thinking: No wonder, throughout the Security Bureau, whether from the Commoner Faction or the Neutral Faction, everyone tended to side with Gu Qing.
In comparison to Bai Zhi, she indeed fell short....
Seeing Fang Ze and Bai Ling whispering about her, Bai Zhi quickly interrupted them and said, "I wasn't completely inactive!"
"In the Execution Department, I am very popular! Many people want to follow me!"
This time, Bai Ling nodded and then cutely said to Fang Ze, "Bai isn't lying about this."
"After all, nearly everyone in the Execution Department has been beaten up by her once, so they respect her fully."
It's just mutual attraction amongst martial enthusiasts, Fang Ze understood.
Just then, Bai Ling's voice grew softer again, "However... Previously, the Execution Department was managed by Xun Yi, so although Bai has a good reputation, she couldn't really get her foot in the door."
Hearing this, Fang Ze: ....
Fang Ze rubbed his face and decided not to talk about the department anymore. Then, he inquired again about the situation at the five security stations.
As Fang Ze had guessed, among the five security stations, three were Gu Qing's people, and even the two from the Neutral Faction were inclined towards Gu Qing.
Additionally, it must be pointed out that the Neutral Faction is not an independent faction, but a collective term for all mid-to-high-ranking officials who do not belong to the aristocratic or commoner factions.
So, each of them really has their own different thoughts and characters.
After understanding the information about the entire Emerald City Security Bureau, Fang Ze thought for a while and sorted through the information he had obtained.
Then, he was surprised to find... the situation was actually a lot better than he had imagined.
Out of the 12 departments, it looked like Gu Qing dominated, but about half of the department heads were from the Neutral Faction and had not joined Gu Qing's camp.
Though they were emotionally leaning towards Gu Qing, with Fang Ze now representing Great Righteousness, as long as he demonstrated his capabilities, they would likely shift their allegiance from Gu Qing towards him.
As for... the Commoner Faction. Although they controlled the most critical departments such as the Execution Department, Secretarial Department, Judicial Department, Special Equipment Department, Personnel Department, and three lower-level cities.
It seemed they had both money and people.
But upon closer examination, you'd find that the Execution Department was managed by Xun Yi, and now that Fang Ze had become the director, he could simply issue an order to strip away the Execution Department's power.
The security stations in the three lower-level cities were the same. Given their lower rank, personnel authority lay with the Emerald City Security Bureau, and as the director, Fang Ze could replace people with a single command.
As for the other departments...
The Secretarial Department serves the director. If the director trusts them, they become the center of the Security Bureau; if not, they could be easily sidelined.
The Judicial Department seemed to be controlled by the Commoner Faction.
But the person in charge of the Judicial Department might not have the same intentions as Gu Qing.
After all, according to Bai Zhi, Gu Qing's arrival at the Emerald City Security Bureau was actually capitalizing on Bearded Liu's achievements; the two might have some discrepancies.
The enemy's enemy is a friend, so Fang Ze thought, they might also be swayed.
Considering this, out of the eight departments controlled by the Commoner Faction, only the Special Equipment Department and the Personnel Department were truly Gu Qing's stronghold.
Fang Ze only needed to target these two departments.
Having clearly understood this intelligence, Fang Ze had a fairly good plan in mind for how to control the Security Bureau, though it still needed some refinement...
Seeing Fang Ze deep in thought, Bai Zhi and Bai Ling looked at each other and decided not to continue disturbing him.
Bai Zhi stood up and took the initiative, "That's essentially the situation at the Security Bureau. Fang Ze, you can think it over carefully."
"We won't disturb you any longer, we'll head back now."
"See you at the next meeting."
