Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 513 - 115. Black Hand, Black Foot, Black Buddha Head! (10,000 words asking for monthly passes!)_4
Considering this, Fang Ze set aside his previous disdainful attitude and solemnly collected the case file.
He planned to visit the young widow after the meeting today.
Then he would make contact with her and interrogate her.
He wanted to see what exactly she was hiding. Was it really an inadvertent purchase, this pattern she had affixed, or was she actually a member of some secret organization...
With these thoughts, Fang Ze closed the case file he held in his hand.
However, as soon as he closed the file, Fang Ze suddenly discovered that there was another document in his hand.
Bai Zhi, intentionally or not, had left an extra document for Fang Ze.
Fang Ze curiously picked up the document and browsed through it.
He found... it was a case from over a decade ago.
Moreover, it was a disappearance case.
The incident took place near Emerald City, where a mother and son visiting relatives had gone missing.
The case files contained a great deal of exploration data from that time, as well as details.
But in the end, the case remained unsolved.
Furthermore, eleven years had passed, and the fate of the mother and son was still unconfirmed as either dead or alive.
Fang Ze stroked his chin, feeling a bit baffled. What was the deal with this case file?
Had Bai Zhi placed it there by mistake?
Fang Ze felt that was unlikely...
Although Bai Zhi could occasionally be silly, she was mostly intelligent. Her leaving this information here was likely intentional.
With that realization, a lightbulb went off in Fang Ze's mind.
Could it be... she thought there was a connection between these two cases?
With that thought, Fang Ze reviewed the two case files with greater scrutiny.
Then... he felt that there wasn't much connection between the two cases; if any link must be mentioned, it was that both cases involved a married young widow, but that alone didn't prove anything.
Instead, it was the timing of the second case, the mother and son's disappearance, which coincidentally aligned with the rise of the Rejuvenation Society.
According to the information Fang Ze had received from Director Pang,
Fifty years ago, a great catastrophe had befallen the entire world.
But the cause and details of that catastrophe had been erased from history.
All written records had been destroyed. All common witnesses of the event had been silenced.
The leader of the Rejuvenation Society was a commoner who had lived through the great catastrophe of fifty years ago. He was fortunate to retain a small part of the records and knew some of the secrets, but he was unaware of the true nature of the events.
Therefore, to seek this truth, he founded the Rejuvenation Society and spent decades investigating.
In the beginning, the Rejuvenation Society grew very slowly, but it was not until about a decade ago that it suddenly expanded rapidly, with the 13 Saints also emerging during that period.
Finding the case file odd, Fang Ze closed it, feeling his head swell with thoughts.
Three seemingly unrelated matters were eerily intertwined, making Fang Ze always feel that there was a huge conspiracy hidden within.
With that in mind, Fang Ze, on a whim, directly "borrowed" Bai Ling's "Black Panther" ability.
As the "Black Panther" ability activated, Fang Ze was surprised to find that both case files were shrouded in deep, dark energy.
The dark aura was thick and lingering, as if it foreboded ill omen, yet inside it seemed to carry a hint of multicolored auspiciousness.
The feeling was very strange.
It was as if it foretold that the case was extremely dangerous, yet it also hid a tremendous opportunity.
Fang Ze pondered: did this imply that if he solved this case, his career would ascend to the next level?
As Fang Ze was entertaining this thought, suddenly, there was a knock on the door of his office.
Coming back to his senses, he took the two case files to his desk, opened the drawer, placed them inside, and then spoke, "Please come in."
The door opened, and his secretary, Little You, walked in.
She gave Fang Ze a slight bow and then said, "Director, the meeting is about to start. The officials have almost all arrived, shall we go now?"
Fang Ze checked the time, and there were about five minutes left until the meeting he had scheduled.
If nothing else, at least his subordinates seemed to have a correct attitude.
With that thought, Fang Ze didn't delay. He nodded to Little You and said, "Alright. I'm heading over now."
After speaking, he locked the drawer and followed the guidance of Little You to the meeting room.
On his way to the meeting room, Fang Ze looked at Little You leading the way ahead and suddenly remembered the three abilities he gained after upgrading to Fusion Tier Three:
Verbal Contract, Unfair Trade, and Currency Exploitation.
He had not used any of these abilities yet...
Recalling the importance of the secretary position,
Fang Ze pondered for a moment and then suddenly asked, "Little You, were you trained by Secretary-General Xun Yi?"

Little You, walking half a step behind Fang Ze, clearly did not expect such a direct question. She hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Director, I am first and foremost a member of the Security Bureau."
Although Little You played a little trick with her answer, Fang Ze saw right through it.
He thus made a decision in his heart.
He looked at Little You deeply and then said, "I see. Then I trust you."
"I hope you won't disappoint my trust. Work well by my side, complete the tasks I assign thoroughly."
"Listen to me, and don't leak any words I've said or actions I've taken. And do not betray me."
