Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 562 - 124. Kiss (8000 words for monthly pass!)_3

However, hearing Fang Ze bring it up, she quickly nodded in agreement, "Yeah, that's right, you still owe me money!"

Fang Ze said with a smile, "Perfect, I've recently made some money. I'll get it ready and pay you back tomorrow."

Upon hearing that she was going to get her money back, Bai Ling was so excited she almost jumped up.

Seeing her happy expression, Fang Ze couldn't help but shake his head with a smile: Look how excited the kid is, isn't repaying debts a given?

At this thought, Fang Ze suddenly had an idea: he wanted to help Bai Ling reclaim all the money owed to her.

And he happened to have the perfect ability for it: the Verbal Contract.

If he had the Verbal Contract, those deadbeats should start paying Bai Ling back spontaneously, right...?

....

After seeing off Bai Ling and Bai Zhi, Fang Ze looked at the time and realized he had made the station chiefs wait for over two hours. He then called over Little You and instructed her to invite the five station chiefs to his office one by one.

By now, the station chiefs were already anxious to death.

Everyone knew that Fang Ze wasn't someone to be trifled with, and that he was like a harbinger of doom. Now, this harbinger had summoned them and left them hanging.

This was a bad sign in itself.

As time went by, their unease only grew.

Finally, just as sweat began to form on their foreheads from the wait, Little You came in and started calling them in.

At that moment, the station chiefs genuinely felt a sense of relief.

They figured they were finally going to find out whether they'd live or die. The uncertainty had been torture!

But then... they realized they had thought too much.

Although Fang Ze called them to his office one by one, he simply had them verbally report their work while he himself kept his head down, busy with paperwork as if he didn't care about the report at all.

If it was just one station chief treated this way, it would mean bad news for that particular chief. But when four consecutive chiefs were treated identically, it made them feel nervous all over again.

They had no idea what Fang Ze was planning.

It wasn't until the last station chief, from Qingshan City's security station, entered the office that there was a slight change.

After listening to the detailed report about the Devil Sect and the subsequent request for reinforcements to eradicate the Devil Sect and capture the Evil God alive, Fang Ze looked at him with a strange expression, remaining silent for a long while.

Perhaps unsettled by Fang Ze's odd gaze, the security station chief from Qingshan City awkwardly asked, "Chief... why are you looking at me like that?"

Fang Ze looked down at the station chief's name tag, then looked up at him, "Your name is Liu Feng, right?"

Station Chief Liu quickly nodded.

Fang Ze said, "I have a few questions for you."

"Do you know... what time of year it is right now?"

After thinking for a moment, Station Chief Liu tentatively asked, "The Flower Morning Festival?"

Fang Ze nodded and continued, "Yes. It's the once-in-a-decade Flower Morning Festival in Emerald City."

"Moreover, this particular Flower Morning Festival is quite special, as even the Eastern Administrative Region has sent a Special Task Force to handle it."

"So... the entire department is on standby for the Festival. There's simply no spare capacity to assist you."

"After all, no one knows if our manpower will be sufficient for the Festival once we divert some to other tasks."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Station Chief Liu stood there awkwardly, unable to speak.

Then Fang Ze continued, "Also. If I remember correctly, you previously said that the slums are a no-go zone, right?"

Station Chief Liu quickly nodded again.

Fang Ze went on, "So if it's a no-go zone, why should we intervene when a power emerges there?"

Station Chief Liu hurriedly tried to explain.

But Fang Ze raised his hand to stop him, "I know what you want to say: it's because that illegal organization is growing too quickly and expanding, right?"

Station Chief Liu eagerly nodded.

Fang Ze said persuasively, "But how can you be sure that the organization is illegal?"

"Or to put it another way, even if they are illegal, can't you convert them into a legal entity?"

Station Chief Liu was left dumbfounded by the question.

Fang Ze spoke seriously, "So, Old Liu, you're oversimplifying the issue."

He continued, "At this critical moment, with the Flower Morning Festival and the Special Task Force arriving soon, what you should be doing is not to ask the department to handle an illegal organization for you. Instead, you should be legalizing it."

"This way, your station will not only be free from threat but will also gain extra manpower. You might even gain control over the slums, something you've never managed before. It's killing several birds with one stone."

"Don't you agree?"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Old Liu was stunned for a while, then his expression changed drastically, and he gave Fang Ze a thumbs-up, "Chief! Your strategy is brilliant!"

"I can't believe I didn't think of that!"

He declared, "You can rest assured, I won't need to borrow an Executive Commissioner from the department anymore. We can handle this matter on our own!"

Fang Ze nodded with satisfaction and then dismissed him.

However, after Old Liu left, Fang Ze quietly took out a notebook and wrote down Station Chief Liu's name: Damn, he actually wanted to annihilate his own sect and capture himself alive. This guy is really bold.

Luckily, he was quick-witted enough to deflect the issue of the Special Task Force, and he successfully whitewashed the Devil Sect; otherwise, it would have been really troublesome.
