And after he discovered that the Flower God was losing himself, yet continued to implement his schemes, he risked his life to turn the matter into a ditty and spread it around, hoping to catch the attention of someone observant.
The reason he didn't directly report to the authorities, Fang Ze speculated, wasn't likely because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
The Flower God probably imposed something like a "Verbal Contract" prohibition on him, preventing him from revealing the matter. That's why he resorted to such an obscure method of passing on the message.
If we were to guess based on this situation, this "Mr. Zhou" likely died many years ago, during the same era as the original founders.
So that's why... the Jiang Family has been searching for so many years and still hasn't found Mr. Zhou or any traces of his descendants.
After silently deducing for a while and once again verifying his own conjectures, Fang Ze couldn't help but look towards Wang Hao.
He nodded slightly, affirming, "Your information is very valuable and interesting."
"I've decided... to reward you well."
Hearing the mysterious person's compliment, Wang Hao's face showed no excitement as he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, I don't need your reward. I am your Believer, and it's only right for me to gather information for you."
Having said that, he added, "Moreover, actually, these are all the details I've investigated earlier, but I have an even more heavy-hitting piece of news!"
"Tonight, I followed Sir Yang to the brick house he guards for the gang! There, I saw a lot of things!"
Upon hearing Wang Hao's words, Fang Ze "Oh?" expressed interest and looked towards Wang Hao.
In fact, today, from the moment Wang Hao was summoned to the Late-Night Investigation Room, Fang Ze noticed that Wang Hao's head was topped with a progress bar.
The progress bar had the range 0-100, with a total of 101 marks.
And at the 80th mark, it was labeled red.
This was an addition after the Late-Night Investigation Room upgrade and the opening of the Demigod Prison.

Fang Ze guessed: This must be the "Value of Information" indicated in the Demigod Prison data. And the 80 mark was likely what the Demigod Prison recognized as "Sufficient Value."
That is to say, once the information gathered reached 80% value, Fang Ze could forcibly "capture" the person and put him into the Demigod Prison, then transform into him!
Yet, Wang Hao had just recounted so much, and the mark on his head had been slowly increasing, but it only reached about 50% in the end.
At that time, Fang Ze even doubted whether it was necessary to fully investigate Wang Hao's ancestry three generations back to reach 80%.
But now, the moment Wang Hao said, "I followed Sir Yang to the brick house," the entire progress bar jumped abruptly, shooting directly to 65%!
Meaning, that one sentence alone was worth one-third the value of all the information Wang Hao had just disclosed.
Honestly, Fang Ze was genuinely startled.
What important information had Wang Hao come across?
To be held in such high esteem by the Late-Night Investigation Room and the Demigod Prison!
