If you hadn't been trained in aristocratic etiquette since childhood, you would have to maintain basic courtesy in front of others.
At this time, Bai Zhi really wanted to drag Xiao Bailing away.
She felt that it was really embarrassing to correspond with such a funny guy like Fang Ze.
You dare to say this casually when you look at it as a fool's errand!
It's simply an insult to the intelligence of these two people!
Are you and Xiao Bailing so easy to deceive?
With this thought in mind, she glanced at Little Bailing.
Xiao Bailing was biting her nails and looking at Fang Ze with sparkling eyes. Her hands were still eager to try, as if they were gesturing at Fang Ze's movements when he used his awakening ability just now.
Bai Zhi:..........
Just when she was a little speechless, Xiao Bailing came back to her senses, then pulled her sleeves and whispered, "Sister Bai. It doesn't matter if Fang Ze is joking or not. But... those who watched the scene
Traces. It seems like he really had a fight with the ranger."
Bai Zhi was suddenly startled when she heard Xiao Bailing's words. She couldn't help but carefully examine the image transmitted by Qingfenghua.
Although the picture is a bit rough due to communication reasons, the giant tree people are indeed exactly the same as the tree people summoned by the ranger in the video of the task force.
Looking at the dead tree people, the huge sinkhole, and the "corpse" wearing ranger clothes, Bai Zhi felt a little unbelievable for a moment: Could it be... what the other party said?
is everything true?
Did the other party really have a battle with the ranger and win the final victory?
Could it be acting?
As soon as this idea was born, Bai Zhi thought it was impossible.
If there are only a few trees and a few pits, it might be an act.
But there are so many tree people, such a huge sinkhole, and various details on display, and even corpses...
The possibility of this acting is too low.
Using the awakening ability will put a burden on the body, and setting up the scene also takes time and energy. After all this time, just to put on a show for yourself, the cost is too high, right?
What does the other party want?
Involuntarily, she began to believe in Fang Ze...
But once you believe Fang Ze, it means that Fang Ze really defeated the ranger and interrogated the information from him...
this....
To be honest, Bai Zhi felt even more unbelievable.
She couldn't imagine how Fang Ze defeated the ranger.
Do you have such strong strength in the task force?
Or has he become so powerful after running away for the past two days?
But no matter which possibility it is, it means that the man in front of me... is very scary.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi also put away her contempt.
She put on some clothes, then looked at Fang Ze in the picture, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I reluctantly believe you, Fang Ze. Let's talk."
Seeing that Bai Zhi finally believed in herself and was willing to negotiate with herself, Fang Ze's smiling face also appeared in the picture.
He smiled and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago, Chief Bai Zhi."
.............
With a basic foundation of trust, the two parties also launched formal negotiations.
However, this negotiation obviously did not go very smoothly.
At least on the surface, Fang Ze was confident and waited for the price, while Bai Zhi felt confident because reinforcements were coming.
Faced with Fang Ze's sky-high asking price, she not only rejected most of the conditions, but was also only willing to "lift Fang Ze's wanted status, restore Fang Ze's identity" and "give Fang Ze a bonus of 50,000 lini."
According to her: Fang Ze is a criminal himself, and providing information is considered a meritorious service. There should not be so many conditions.
Fang Ze, on the other hand, was more direct: Then...otherwise you should continue to want me.
I will no longer perform meritorious service, nor will I regain my identity. Being a criminal is quite good.
But...the things you should give me, such as money and precious phantoms, cannot be less.
These words made Bai Zhi so angry that she almost followed Qingfenghua to hit Fang Ze!
After calming down, Bai Zhi also said seriously, "Fang Ze, the conditions you proposed are indeed too excessive. We cannot accept them."
She paused, and then said sincerely, "I'm not afraid of leaking information."
"The day after tomorrow, reinforcements from the Security Bureau will arrive. There are awakened people inside who can detect lies."
"At that time, we won't need your information and clues. We can completely interrogate you ourselves."
"So, your intelligence value is not as high as you think."
Fang Ze smiled, and then asked confidently, "Really?"
"But if you invite reinforcements, your evaluation in the bureau will definitely be lowered, right? Will you also lose face?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi couldn't help but glance at Xiao Bailing.
Xiao Bailing quickly put his hand on his chest and waved it slightly, indicating that it was not him who told Fang Ze.
Fang Ze saw her actions and said with a smile, "Sir Bai Zhi. You don't have to go see Chief Bai Ling."
"That's just my guess."
"After all, if the reinforcements to solve the case really have no impact on you, there is no need for you to chat with me for so long at night."
"But... now it seems that I guessed it right."
Bai Zhi bit her lip.
Fang Ze continued, "In addition, you just mentioned [lie detection]. But [lie detection] only means that you can find out who is the traitor."
"It doesn't mean that the traitor won't commit suicide, won't keep silent, and won't be rescued by others. Let him go, right?"
He paused and said, "If I guess correctly, this reinforcement should not have people with psychic abilities, so they cannot directly peer into the heart and obtain information."
Bai Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Not only was there no reinforcement this time... there was even no one with this ability within the Security Bureau.
The awakened person is protected by the laws of the world. Normally, unless the level of the law is much higher than that of the other party, it is impossible to peek into the other party's heart.
Seeing Bai Zhi's expression, Fang Ze knew that he had guessed correctly again.
So he smiled faintly and said, "So...actually you have no choice."
"My information is very important to you."
Bai Zhi closed her eyes in despair.
She felt that the letter Fang Ze left behind was right: she was indeed not a conspiracy material.
How could she have imagined that Fang Ze would discover her blind spot just by saying something casually, and then directly gain an absolute advantage?
So, in the end, she sighed and said a little dejectedly, "Okay. You win."
After saying that, she added, "But...we really can't offer so many conditions."
"Whether it's 1 million linnies or 9 extraordinary treasures, the value is too expensive..."
Speaking of this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but look at Fang Ze and said, "By the way. Otherwise...will you join the Security Bureau?"
"Your own guilt is not great, but now you can be considered guilty and have made meritorious service. You are so smart and so strong. If you join the Security Bureau, you will definitely have a good development."
"Our Security Bureau not only has generous benefits, respected status, and great authority. We also have a complete training plan for our members. Whether it is martial arts or awakening abilities, we can provide guidance and help."
"And after making meritorious deeds, there will be resources at various stages for members to develop..."
"If you are really strong enough and your contribution is great enough, we can also recommend you to serve in the Eastern Jurisdiction Region."
"It is entirely possible to become a noble and rule a city!"
After listening to Bai Zhi's rambling introduction, Fang Ze was stunned for two seconds.
After a moment, he slowly uttered five words, "You want to have sex for free, right?"
Bai Zhi:???
Little Bailing, "Pfft."
Fang Ze said, "Since you have so many resources and training plans, let's add this as a condition."
Bai Zhi: .....
Xiao Bailing covered her mouth, shaking her shoulders and trying her best to hold back laughter.
Bai Zhi was convinced.
Next, the two started a sincere negotiation. Bai Zhi asked in detail about the approximate value of Fang Ze's information.
Then, the conditions were temporarily set at four.
1. The Security Bureau lifted Fang Ze’s wanted status and rounded up him. And restored Fang Ze’s identity.
2. Based on Fang Ze’s intelligence value and the fact that he helped Bai Zhi catch the traitor in advance, the Security Bureau provided Fang Ze with a bonus of 100,000 to 500,000 lini.
3. Bai Zhi personally gave Fang Ze four extraordinary defensive treasures.
4. Before the end of the case, Xiao Bailing was responsible for explaining to Fang Ze some basic knowledge of awakened people through Qingfenghua, and guiding Fang Ze in some of his cultivation.
These are only preliminary terms of intent reached, and whether they can be implemented will depend on subsequent cooperation between the two parties.
The entire condition was almost exactly on Fang Ze's bottom line. Although it was not generous, Fang Ze actually only had the most basic information about the organization. He didn't even know how many members there were or who the leader was. So he didn't dare to ask too harshly.
And... the most important thing is that he can't delay it any longer: after all... his purpose tonight is not really to make a big fortune, but to catch the golden fox.
ah!
This is his real purpose behind all these negotiations!
At the end of the negotiation, both parties high-fived each other in the air. Then Bai Zhi took the lead and said, "So, can you tell us the relevant information about the organization now?"
Hearing her words, Fang Ze smiled and said, "There's no rush. To show sincerity, I'll help you catch the traitor first."
Bai Zhi:??
Fang Ze said with legitimate reasons, "As for the information, I can tell you at any time."
"But if you're a traitor, don't forget that reinforcements from the Security Bureau will be here soon."
"If you wait until later and catch him again, you will get much less credit and lose a lot of face."
"So, isn't it better to catch the traitor first and then tell you the information?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi thought for a moment, then glanced at Fang Ze suspiciously...
