A night without words.
The next day, it rained.
This was the second rain Fang Ze had seen since arriving in this world.
It was still that striking red color that made one feel so uncomfortable, and the people of this world still felt nothing abnormal or strange about it.
The first time Fang Ze saw rain in this world, he guessed it might be covered by something or contain a certain substance, causing light refraction or some kind of reaction, which made the rainwater red. (Chapter 40)
Having been in this world for quite some time now, he had gained much more understanding about it.
As a pseudo-scientist from his former life, Fang Ze used his limited scientific knowledge to speculate that that layer might be... the Spirit Realm?
After getting up, Fang Ze tidied up in his office and then started pondering what he needed to do today.
There were only two days left before the plan to trap a Yang Transformation high-level master.
His time was actually quite tight.
Apart from collecting 800 Credit Points from Bai Ling to obtain the "Black Panther" ability, as he had thought the night before, Fang Ze also needed to find a way to retaliate against Jiang Cheng on that day.
Yes, that's right, retaliate against Jiang Cheng.
Previously, all the preparations made by Fang Ze were for self-preservation, so he could escape death on that day.
However, such a plan would at most lead the Yang Transformation high-level master to be taken away by the Inspector, ruining the master.
At that time, as long as the Yang Transformation high-level master blamed everything on a personal vendetta without causing severe consequences, he wouldn't face harsh punishments, and it wouldn't affect Jiang Cheng either.
But Fang Ze didn't want to let things pass so easily.
Having walked the line between life and death, just to ensure that the Yang Transformation high-level master could no longer act, seemed too much of a loss, didn't it?
So, these past few days, Fang Ze had been constantly thinking about how to blow up this issue, throw the mud at the Yang Transformation high-level master and Jiang Cheng, making them pay for this incident.
And after last night, this morning, Fang Ze finally had an idea...
However, he couldn't accomplish this alone.
He still needed... some people, such as the cooperation of Deputy Section Chief Shen Yayun, who had previously given him trouble.
However, now that he no longer had a Special Operations Order, would these seasoned veterans like Shen Yayun really obey?
Did he still need to prepare some backup plans?
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but open the drawer and search for a document he had specifically kept a few days ago.
In a moment, Fang Ze found that document.
He opened it and checked to confirm this document could be used as a trump card against Shen Yayun, then he packed it up satisfied.
Just as he had put away the document, suddenly, there was a knock on the door of his office.
Fang Ze closed the Space Folding Bag and looked up at the door, then said, "Come in."
The office door was pushed open, and Nan Yi walked in excitedly from outside.
Seeing Fang Ze, she quickly said, "Congratulations, Commissioner! Cheers for your promotion! The order for your promotion has been issued!"
Hearing Nan Yi's words, Fang Ze was a bit surprised, "So soon?"
Nan Yi said cheerfully, "Yes! After all, who else but you, Commissioner, the man of the hour at the Security Bureau?"
"I heard that right after the chiefs finished their meeting yesterday at noon, they reported your promotion orders up to the state level."
"The state worked overtime to process it, and this morning, they sent back the signed appointment."
"So, starting from now, you are the Deputy Chief of the Personnel Department."
Upon hearing Nan Yi's words, Fang Ze smiled.
He said, "That's timely. Using this good news, I have some matters to discuss with the other officials of the Personnel Department."
With this, he stood up, put on his coat, and said to Nan Yi, "Come, Nan Yi, follow me to the Personnel Department."
Nan Yi promptly responded, "Okay~~"
Indeed, there are no secrets in the Security Bureau. As he walked to the Personnel Department with Nan Yi, Fang Ze received countless congratulations and greetings, along with a multitude of new titles like "Commissioner," "Commissioner Fang Ze," "Director Fang," and "Director Fang Ze."
Being promoted from a first-level Commissioner to a deputy department head, though it was only a difference in rank, it was a huge leap in class.
In terms of Fang Ze's former world, this was the difference between leadership and non-leadership positions...
So, from now on, Fang Ze could also genuinely be addressed honorably as "Commissioner."
Arriving at the Personnel Department on the third floor, Fang Ze received even more smiling faces and welcomes.
With his Void Eye's photographic memory, Fang Ze recognized and understood nearly all the commissioners of the Personnel Department.
He recognized almost everyone in a second when they greeted him, able to accurately recall their names and chat about their work.
This left many commissioners a bit surprised by the newly appointed chief.
Of course, alongside those friendly to Fang Ze, there were certainly those not so friendly to him.
For example... those whose paths to promotion had been blocked and who had already reached high Awakener or Fuser stages and hence did not need to curry favor with Fang Ze.
They weren't very fond of Fang Ze.
Watching Fang Ze receive such a warm welcome from the lower-level commissioners, they felt a bit sour and uncomfortable.
And when they saw Fang Ze headed towards Shen Yayun's office, they quietly discussed Fang Ze among themselves,
