Council Member meeting!

The evil star is back again.

Since they arrived at the Parliament Building, all of them wore stern expressions with little inclination to smile or joke.

Even when meeting other Council Members, they only managed strained smiles and nods as greetings.

After all, they had not yet gone through the screening, leaving them with no confidence.

They were unclear whether there were any hidden traitors among them.

Honestly, their feelings were somewhat conflicdted, both hoping that the screening would quickly prove their innocence and fearing they might be wrongly accused, leaving them in no mood to joke around.

Soon, the Council Members all arrived at the Parliament Building one after another and then entered the meeting venue.

After taking their seats at the places marked with their names, the Council Members either closed their eyes to rest, chatted with others around them, or fiddled with their communicators, not knowing what messages were being passed.

After a while, a very imposing person pushed open the door, glanced around, confirmed the number of attendees, and then walked out.

Seeing that person, the Council Members knew that the meeting was about to start.

Thus, they gradually stopped what they were doing, straightened their clothes, and prepared for the meeting.

The room gradually quieted down, except for the slight “popping” noises caused by the collision of the Power of Laws, as the fifty plus Council Members were too powerful and too close to each other.

A moment later, the meeting room’s door was pushed open from the outside, and a woman and two men walked in; from the badges on their chests, they were the Executive Councilors.

If Fang Ze were here, he would find the woman very familiar: she was Councilor Wu, whom Fang Ze had previously met in Emerald City.

She was once entrusted by Jiang Cheng’s father to replace her position as the minister at the Supervisory Department, and being a relative of Qianfeng’s father, she took the blame and rescued Jiang Cheng from Fang Ze’s hands.

(Chapters 40, 41)

After the three entered the meeting room, they looked around, exchanged courtesies, and finally, Councilor Wu stepped forward and, with a smile, announced, “Council Members, as before, the three Chairpersons and other Executive Councilors will not attend.

Today’s meeting will be presided over by us, the rotational Executive Councilors.”

“The purpose of the meeting is to inform about recent events and to ask the Council Members to participate in a brief, simple investigation.”

The Council Members had already guessed this outcome before attending, so there wasn’t much surprise.

They just patiently sat and quietly awaited Councilor Wu’s explanation.

Councilor Wu slowly explained the events of the past few days.

The main content was about the Security Bureau being ordered to investigate the arrival of Dahei Garo in Xida State, and during the investigation, it discovered that some Council Members in the state were colluding with Dahei Garo.

Upon learning this, He Weidao was outraged.

He directly deployed troops and captured several suspect Council Members.

After being captured, the Special Service Department verified that these Council Members were indeed traitors to humanity, devotees of the Demigod.

According to information obtained by the Security Bureau, it was very likely that there was still one traitor among the Council Members, so the Security Bureau would also have individual conversations with the Council Members today to identify the last traitor.

The Council Members had already guessed the situation beforehand, and now that they had confirmation, they weren’t much surprised.

Instead, at this point, the Provincial Government Council Members’ gaze started to wander towards those who came from outside the Provincial Government, who ignored their curious looks and sat upright, preparing for the judgment of destiny.

After explaining the situation, Councilor Wu also invited out the female Director and Fang Ze’s group.

This time, the main investigators from the Security Bureau included the female Director, Qing, Fang Ze, Black Shadow, Nan Yi, Little You, and Little Fatty.

According to Fang Ze’s arrangement: Fang Ze and Little Fatty were responsible for relaying messages outside, summoning and escorting people.

The female Director led Black Shadow, Qing, Little You, and Nan Yi in conducting the inquiries.

Once inside the meeting room, Fang Ze also surveyed all the Council Members, examining the omens of good and bad fortune on them.

Eventually, his gaze settled on a Council Member whom he had already known the outcome from the previous night.

After checking his fortune, it was indeed the same as that of Councilor Huang and the others.

Fang Ze was relieved…

As Fang Ze was assessing the Council Members present, their gaze also fell on him.

Fang Shaxing’s reputation had long been known among the Council Members, and everyone knew that wherever he went, a sweep of arrests was guaranteed.

He was truly a harbinger!

However, since he held the future of these high-ranking Council Members in his hands and it was rumored that he possessed the ability to penetrate the Demigod’s shielding during investigations, the crowd was incredibly curious and attentive to him.

They wanted to see how he would conduct the investigations.

Surprisingly to everyone, the investigations this time were not to be conducted by Fang Ze.

After Councilor Wu finished speaking, the female Director slowly stood up.

Her azure blue eyes swept across the meeting room emotionlessly before she stated, “Ladies and gentlemen, I will be overseeing today’s investigation.

As you know my personality, I will neither spare any wrongdoers, nor will I wrong the innocent.

So, please rest assured.”

“Now, could Councilor Qiu please come with me for a chat?”

After arranging the first person for investigation, the female Director nodded to Fang Ze.

Fang Ze, understanding, lightly tapped his foot on the ground twice.

Immediately, a Shadow Warrior stood up from his shadow, strikingly, it was the shield Black Shadow.

Seeing Black Shadow, Fang Ze instructed, “You go and assist the Director in the investigation, don’t hold back.”

Hearing Fang Ze’s arrangement, Black Shadow nodded and then responded with a firm, “Yes!”

Thus, Black Shadow, Nan Yi, Little You, and the female Director left the meeting room together and went to the next room for the conversation, preparing to commence today’s investigations.

After they left, Fang Ze and Little Fatty also approached the named Councilor Qiu, gesturing with a hand, “This way, Councilor.”

Seeing this, Councilor Qiu nodded.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up, and straightened his clothes before following them out.

As they watched Councilor Qiu leave the meeting room, the gaze of the other Council Members in the room turned back to Fang Ze, who was not following him out but holding a pocket watch and speaking quietly with Councilor Wu.

Some Council Members, curious about Fang Ze’s ability to penetrate Demigod shielding during investigations, exchanged glances, each seeing confusion in the other’s eyes….
