Hearing Master Fenda’s words, the adjutant’s eyes lit up, and then he sat up straight.
Master Fenda slowly said, "After my guidance in Fang Ze’s dreams, Lay Buddhist Fang revealed some intelligence that he had never disclosed before."
"It turns out that he had previously offended a member of the legitimate lineage of the Jiang Family, Municipal Councilor and Yang Transformation-grade expert of Emerald City: Jiang Cheng. And Jiang Cheng also openly threatened him, saying he would seek revenge."
"He had always been very worried about this."
"Therefore, he had also been contemplating a scorched earth tactic."

"Scorched earth?" the adjutant asked, a bit puzzled.
Master Fenda nodded and then said,
"Yes. He planned to use his own death to make Jiang Cheng pay the price."
"He had been scheming for this for a long time."
"He even organized a special training class for commissioners. It was so that he would be killed during official business."
"And on the day of the incident, he was taking the commissioners to be trained to the training site."
"On the way, he sensed danger."
At this point, Master Fenda paused and then said, "He had actually been prepared to die a heroic death, but at the last moment, he became afraid of death and regretted it."
"Thus, halfway through the journey, he immediately wanted to return to the Security Bureau. Because only at the Security Bureau would Jiang Cheng’s people not dare to take action."
"In the end, just as he was about to reach the Security Bureau, he still encountered an attack."
Listening to Master Fenda’s narrative, the adjutant stroked his chin, lost in thought.
After a moment, he asked, "What about... those five Yang Transformation-grade experts? Does he really not recognize them? Are they unrelated to him?"
Master Fenda first nodded and then shook his head.
He said, "Lay Buddhist Fang, for fear of death, had once borrowed a Superior Grade defensive relic from Bureau Chief Bai Zhi."
"But then, on the day before the incident, Lady Jin Luan went to Emerald City and took back the Superior Grade defensive relic."
"So, he had met Lady Jin Luan. However... he did not know that Lady Jin Luan had come to save him."
"He was also very shocked that day."
"Next is a Yang Transformation-grade expert from the Rejuvenation Society."
"He had always been in charge of investigating the Rejuvenation Society within the Security Bureau. So he knew that a saint had come to Emerald City and obtained some information."
"And when comparing information, he found two matches, so he believed one of them to be a Yang Transformation-grade expert from the Rejuvenation Society."
"However, what that group of five Yang Transformation-grade experts were intending by taking action..."
"Whether they wanted to protect him, had a grudge against Jiang Cheng, had a conflict with the Yang Transformation-grade expert or had some other purpose, he had no idea."
"He only felt like he had inadvertently become a pawn of others, helping them to lure the snake out of its hole."
"He believed that he also bore some responsibility for the death of that Yang Transformation-grade expert."
"Therefore, when I questioned him today about whether he was associated with the Yang Transformation-grade expert’s death, he did not dare to answer."
"Rejuvenation Society..." the adjutant muttered the name.
After a moment, he looked up at Master Fenda and asked, a bit disappointed, "So... does Fang Ze really have no issues?"
Master Fenda smiled warmly and said, "I can’t be completely certain. After all, in dreams, I only have the power to guide the other party to answer."
"I do not have the ability to detect truth or lies."
"However, tomorrow, I can use my ability once more to question him and confirm the answer."
Hearing Master Fenda’s words, the adjutant nodded and then politely said, "Then I’ll have to trouble you, Master."
Afterwards, the two exchanged a few more words, and the adjutant then escorted Master Fenda out of the reception room.
And after Master Fenda left, the adjutant quickly returned to the monitoring room.
In the monitoring room, the old man was still standing there with his hands behind his back, expressionless, watching the monitor screens.
Seeing the old man, the adjutant approached and said in a low voice, "Sir, you have heard everything."
"Master Fenda says Fang Ze is likely truly innocent."
"He might really just be a victim."
After hearing the adjutant’s words, the old man stayed silent for a long time.
The lighting cast on one side of his face, plunging one half into brightness and the other into darkness.
After a while, he eventually spoke slowly.
However... what he talked about wasn’t about Fang Ze but... "Have the Jiang Family and the Bai Family still not reacted in any way?"
The adjutant slowly shook his head, "Sir, no."
"I contacted them five times today. But their response was always that the Family Head was not present. They cannot make a decision."
The old man pondered for a moment and then asked, "What about the State Council’s attitude?"
The adjutant replied, "The Council is quite anxious and concerned." Enjoy new stories from freewebnovel
"They’ve sent us several official correspondences in a row."
"Asking about the details of this incident and demanding that the mid- to high-ranking managers and nobles in Emerald City receive proper treatment and for communication restrictions to be lifted."
The old man listened quietly. After a moment, he said, "Tomorrow morning, let Master Fenda test Fang Ze for lies as early as possible, to see if the intelligence from his dreams is true."
"Yes!" the adjutant saluted and then left to carry out his orders!
....
A night without words.
The next day, in the morning.
It was still the same reception room, still Master Fenda waiting there in advance, quietly sipping tea, still the adjutant with a beaming smile leading Fang Ze to the reception room.
However, this time, the adjutant’s demeanor was much better than yesterday, and Master Fenda...
