Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 592 - 131. Fang Ze! You’re too arrogant! (10,000 words for monthly votes!)_5

"Moreover, I suspect that the case is very special and may involve the safety of an entire city."

"Using the secret line is justified in light of a major event."

At that point, Fang Ze paused before adding, "This is also to help you confirm whether the city under your jurisdiction has genuinely encountered trouble."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Jiang Cheng gazed at him intently, as if trying to ascertain whether he was lying.

After a moment, he spoke expressionlessly, "Whether or not the safety of a city is affected is not for you to judge. Since the Governing Hall of the lower-level city has not taken the initiative to contact me via the secret line first, it indicates that the situation isn't that critical."

"So... you should go back."

Seeing Jiang Cheng repeatedly refuse, Fang Ze's patience began to wane. He looked directly into Jiang Cheng's eyes and said, "What if I go back, then?"

Jiang Cheng regarded Fang Ze, his face gradually showing anger.

Because of Flower God's self-destruction, the entire Emerald City was somewhat chaotic that day. And with only one of the four full-time commissioners left—him—there were an overwhelming number of issues. He had been busy for 24 hours straight without a wink of sleep, dealing with the aftermath of the Flower God's self-destruction.

By noon, the impact had gradually subsided, and he had finally been able to take a rest. But just as he had lain down for a short while, Fang Ze came to cause trouble.

Consequently, already irritable, he now felt a fresh and lingering resentment towards Fang Ze and genuinely wished he could slap Fang Ze to death!

Seemingly sensing Jiang Cheng's thoughts, Fang Ze suddenly gestured to someone beside him.

Bai Zhi, who had been following close by, took out the already prepared Special Operation Permit, or rather... the same one from a week ago, and displayed it for Jiang Cheng to see.

Fang Ze stated, "Commissioner Jiang, don't forget that my Special Operation Permit has not been revoked."

"Therefore, when necessary, I can directly take over the Governing Hall. Do you really want to force this situation to become so unsightly?"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Jiang Cheng stiffened.

He glanced at the Special Operation Permit and then looked deeply at Fang Ze, his voice edged with gritted teeth, "Fang Ze, do you always have to use the same trick?"

"Have you ever considered the consequences of abusing the permit like this?"

"What will you do when you no longer have the permit? Will you still be so arrogant then?"

At Jiang Cheng's words, Fang Ze laughed and replied without any sense of guilt, "I am the Director of the Security Bureau! In this position, I must take up the responsibilities that come with it!"

"Since I suspect that a city has encountered a major case related to Awakening Abilities, then it should be investigated!"

"Rather than being wary and pondering whether it will affect my future career!"

At this, Fang Ze casually added another line, "As for whether I am abusing the permit..."

"In each of the previous instances where I used the permit, it has proven to be truly justified!"

"And this time, I trust my judgment just the same!"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Jiang Cheng laughed in fury, "Fine! Since Director Fang is so bullish!"

"Then I authorize you to use it! Let's see if your luck holds out this time as well!"

With that, he turned to the female official blocking the door, "Zhu Yin, fetch the secret line."

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's directive, the female official looked surprised and said, "Commissioner. Each use of the secret line consumes special resources and requires a detailed report to the state afterwards explaining the situation."

"If ever..."

She didn't finish her sentence when Jiang Cheng interrupted her. He looked at Fang Ze, goading, "Director Fang said he would take responsibility for everything, didn't he?"

Fang Ze replied with an easygoing demeanor, "Yes! I can take responsibility for all of this!"

"Everyone present can vouch for it!"

"Go ahead!"

Truth be told, Fang Ze didn't have absolute certainty about what had happened in Miaohua City: after all, massive disruption in communications could have resulted from issues with Miaohua City's own communication lines, or Flower God's self-destruction could have interfered with the signals in some unusual way.

But still, Fang Ze came to this world all alone and got to where he is now by sheer boldness.

Now, in Miaohua City, there were two people very important to him, a group of subordinates he had just trained, and over a million residents!

If he chose to handle things cautiously, worried about his future and decided to wait patiently for news,

Then if it were later proven that it was all a trick by Dahei Jialuo, and his important people and all those millions of citizens suffered terribly, he might live with regret for his whole life.

So! As a man, he must live without regrets under the heavens! At worst, he would just give up being the Director.

After all... with assets worth hundreds of millions, his current situation was a ten-thousand-fold improvement over being a fugitive. There was no reason to hesitate!

Seeing Fang Ze "take the bait" as Jiang Cheng had goaded, Jiang Cheng nodded to the female official again, signaling her to retrieve the secret line.

Observing the cue, the female official quickly scampered to the desk, knelt down, pulled open a floor panel, entered a password, and unlocked a safe hidden below.

She then extracted a dark-colored box from the safe and presented it to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng looked at the box, then back at Fang Ze, and chuckled, "Fang Ze, this is your last chance. Are you sure you want me to connect it?"

Fang Ze glanced at him and cursed irritably, "Damn, aren't you annoying. If I tell you to dial, just dial. Why so much nonsense? So pretentious."
