So, the poor girls couldn't enjoy a proper night's rest and had to continue battling through the night alongside Fang Ze....
, until 2 AM, Fang Ze finished reviewing all the materials and saw many cases of nobles breaking the law. With a rough idea of what the investigation would be like tomorrow, he stretched lazily, closed the book, and said, "All right. You've all worked hard. You may go to sleep now."
Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, several maids who were already struggling to keep their eyelids open and whose hands ached from exhaustion quickly stood up, excitedly saying in unison, "Thank you, Master!"
It was clear they were well-trained; their expressions of gratitude genuinely showed deep grooves, much more sincere than Yu Shuishui's.
Fang Ze appreciated the rise and fall of their curves and nodded subtly, saying, "Don't mention it. Go get some rest. I'm going to rest as well."
With that, he got up, ready to head to the guest room upstairs to sleep.
Hearing his words, the maids exchanged glances, and then the leading Different Race beauty with the lower body of a snake gave a curtsy, saying to Fang Ze, "Master. Don't you need us to accompany you?"
Fang Ze glanced at their weary faces and then asked, "Do you still have the energy?"
The maids were just about to agree when Fang Ze said, "Do you know how to do 'Warm Water Ice Cube Jelly Jumping Candy'?"
"Huh?" The maids were taken aback, clearly not understanding what Fang Ze meant.
Fang Ze continued, "No? Then what about 'Roaming Fingers Gliding Over Water'?"
"Ah?" The maids were puzzled once again.
Fang Ze spread his hands, "You don't know anything. So who's serving whom exactly?"
"Well, that's that. I'm quite tired myself~"
Seeing that they had nothing more to say, Fang Ze stretched again, yawned, and went upstairs to sleep.
The maids stood in place, looking at each other, feeling somewhat insulted in their professional pride!
But... those bizarre terms, they really didn't understand at all!
Do cabinets really play so flamboyantly?
Actually... Fang Ze himself didn't understand those terms either. Those were just things he had seen on the internet in his previous life, which he jotted down to show off in front of the maids. Did he really not want to delve deeper into the values of life with several charming and attractive young ladies, to climb to the pinnacle of life?
But he had no choice! He was due at the Late-Night Investigation Room tonight, on official business!
In the Late-Night Investigation Room, if someone touched his body in the outside world, he would wake up!
If he was awakened by those Different Race beauties while questioning Bai Zhi, that would be too unjust!
With that thought, Fang Ze lay down on the bed filled with immense regret and fell into a deep sleep.....
Upon awakening, Fang Ze was already in the Late-Night Investigation Room.
Without delay, after moving Little Grass to the corridor to let her play by herself, Fang Ze turned on the desk lamp, changed the scene, and summoned Bai Zhi.....
Although Bai Zhi had guessed that Fang Ze had ways to circumvent Law Prohibition, she was still secretly surprised to meet him again in the night.
However, perhaps because her relationship with Fang Ze was becoming more and more special, Bai Zhi didn't dwell on it too much and regarded it as one of Fang Ze's secrets.
When they met, business was priority.
Bai Zhi told Fang Ze in great detail about her conversation with Lady Jin.
Fang Ze listened quietly, his head bowed in deep thought, without saying a word.
The reason he asked Bai Zhi to pass on the message to Lady Jin was not so complicated.
He simply wanted to understand the pressure the Si Family was facing in the Federation and the situation of the new nobility. Then, between his two identities, he wanted to make his choice.
As for why he conveyed such an awkward message, it was to hide his intentions and to confuse the Bai Family.
In his mind, the Bai Family believed he was a descendant of the Si Family. So, their suggestion would most likely be only one: not to pretend to be a new noble.
But their advice wasn't important. Fang Ze needed only to understand their persuasion to gather sufficient intelligence.
Such as the Federation's current attitude toward the Si Family, the Si Family's enemies, their potential friends. Such as the Federation's stance on new nobility. Such as the Federation's methods of testing nobility and so on.
If the Si Family had too many enemies and the Federation's attitude was extremely cold, Fang Ze would choose to acknowledge his new nobility and directly choose a force to align with for protection.
If the Si Family had not too many enemies, quite a few friends, and the Federation's attitude was ambiguous, then Fang Ze would pretend to be a descendant of the Si Family to clear himself of any suspicion of being a new noble.
As for how he would pretend to be a descendant of the Si Family, he was a bit troubled at first. But after reading a night's worth of legal books related to nobility and learning about the Federation's testing methods, Fang Ze had a plan in mind.
That was to switch things up, to pull a fast one!
With this in mind, after sending Bai Zhi away, Fang Ze began his grand plan to disguise himself as a Si Family descendant!
Wanting to impersonate a Si Family descendant, merely borrowing Miaomiao's abilities temporarily through "Credit World" wouldn't work; the Federation would see through it.
So, Fang Ze decided to do it thoroughly! To play the part to the fullest! He would really turn "Darkness" into one of his seven abilities!
Luckily, not long ago, Miaomiao, in an attempt to make money, sold her original "Darkness" ability to Fang Ze.
