In Gu Zizai's mind, Fang Zong was a rather selfish person.

"If you can't sweep your own room, how can you sweep the world?" Fang Zong was too lazy to bother with anything else until he had cleaned up his own little corner of the world.

But now, Gu Zizai feels that he should re-evaluate Fang Zong and, within his authority, give Fang Zong more convenience.

Being too daring is not a good thing.

But those who are bold enough, strong enough, and clever enough have the potential to survive and continue to grow are very good!

What he enjoys most is nurturing talent into geniuses, and then nurturing geniuses into prodigies.

Ideally, we should cultivate a monster into a god!

This is something that even a strategist like Bai Zhishan, a self-proclaimed Zhuge Liang, would die trying to achieve!

Gu Ziben had planned to personally lead Fang Zong and the others, but on his way to the two military officers' wards, he suddenly received a phone call.

"Something's come up at the branch headquarters,"

Gu Zizai squinted, his feigned smile gone. Between his brows, there was a calm and composed air, like that of Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period, yet it revealed the resolute spirit of a commander of thousands of troops.

He nodded slightly, and the other party said, "I need to return to headquarters. I'll leave this place to you."

First, pay attention to safety;

Secondly, I grant you the highest authority in Zhongshan City to handle this as a national red-alert level security incident. Funding will be allocated by the municipal government and reimbursed by the North China Branch. Regarding personnel, anyone below the provincial level who obstructs will be executed.

Fang Zong couldn't help but gasp: "The Imperial Sword?"

"If it weren't serious, would I bother coming here to flatter you?"

After Gu Zizai uttered a sentence, he turned and left. Behind him, Fang Zong stared intently at his retreating figure.

"This guy is really capable."

After everyone left, Fang Zong suddenly laughed.

Li Xiaoran rarely spoke up: "Since he took office at the age of thirty-two, he has promoted six previously unknown military officers, all of whom are now in the top twenty of the Leopard Ranking. Gongsun Ke originally had a chance, but you ruined it ahead of time."

Fang Zong nodded in agreement: "If he could stay and investigate the case, he could find out the truth very quickly. It's a pity that he's not a military officer and is extremely busy."

Gu Zizai has already left, but he has arranged an assistant for Fang Zong. Surprisingly, the assistant is not a high-ranking official, but a criminal police officer from a narcotics squad.

It's obvious that this is a potential talent that Gu Zizai has discovered, and he plans to promote him.

And I have great faith in this person's abilities.

"Chen He is reporting to the leader that I am very clear about the specific case, but I do not have more information to analyze and need your authorization."

The young man, with refined features, bowed respectfully to the other party.

His words were firm and resounding.

"I'm not really sure either, let's walk around first," Fang Zong replied with a smile.

They first went to visit two military officers, one titled "Flower Heart Maiden" and the other "Wandering Dust Maiden," both of whom were quite beautiful but were seriously injured and currently unconscious.

Fang Zong looked around and discovered that in addition to the injuries inside his body, he was also being invaded by evil spirit energy.

Just after he helped with the treatment, Chen He handed over the doctor's diagnostic report.

The first one was from Zhao Ying, the girl with the flowery heart.

"Attacked from behind, on the left shoulder, tilted to the lower right at four o'clock; the wound is two feet three inches long and four centimeters deep, and is a blooming wound. The weapon is not sharp, and it is suspected that the wound was caused by a tooth-bone type weapon."

Judging from the scene of the crime, the general was unable to react at all; his left arm was bruised, indicating that he had suffered a strong impact.

Brief analysis of the incident: Completely defenseless, he was saved by his teammates, thus avoiding a fatal blow.

Fang Zong read the report aloud in a low voice, then glanced at the second one, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

Zhao Ying was attacked from behind.

Another general was attacked from above and was saved by his teammates, thus avoiding a fatal blow to the forehead.

Judging from the wounds, the murder weapon was the same. What could it be that could kill two generals ranked in the top 20 of the Leopard Ranking without them even having the slightest chance to react?

Xue Nuo leaned closer to look, munching on her ice cream: "It must have been that bastard Yizhihua who saved them, but Yizhihua is dead, right? She must be dead, right?"

Fang Zong asked, "Is there a contradiction?"

"He tried to seduce me, and then Sister Xiaoran slashed him twice."

Xue Nuo said nonchalantly, "Yizhihua is a decent person, but he's just a playboy, so Sister Xiaoran didn't go all out to kill him. He's also quite good at running away, so he wasn't killed."

"oh."

Fang Zong nodded, and then ignored it.

As long as I didn't suffer a loss, that's fine.

Just then, Chen He answered a phone call and leaned over to say, "Chief, that police officer has woken up."

Which officer?

"It was Officer Huang Qiu who encountered a giant rat controlled by a ghost, but instead managed to kill it."

When Huang Qiu is mentioned, Chen He's admiration is so strong it practically overflows from his face.

Fang Zong also admired Huang Qiu quite a bit, so he nodded and gestured for Chen He to lead the way.

On the one hand, we need to ask around; on the other hand, these giant rats are practically capable of fighting tigers.

Huang Qiu, an ordinary person, actually killed a giant rat with a police baton. What does that prove? He's definitely a good man!

Unparalleled hunk!

As Fang Zong walked, he listened to Chen He's increasingly detailed report.

Three days ago, incidents of giant rats eating people occurred in various parts of Zhongshan City, covering almost all areas under the jurisdiction of public security bureaus and police stations.

Several cases have been discovered so far. After military officers intervened, it was found that the biological mutations were not caused by industrial waste leaks, but by ghosts manipulating the creatures with their ghostly energy.

The specific method of manipulation is unknown, and the lair where the ghost is hiding cannot be found.

The enemy is in the shadows, while we are in the open; this is a very tricky situation!

The hospital had already set up a cordon. As Fang Zong and his group walked downstairs, they were followed by groups of three or five officials from various parts of Zhongshan City.

No one spoke; only an incredibly heavy atmosphere permeated the air, gradually revealing an unseen but particularly oppressive stench of blood.

These are all ordinary people, but in ancient times, they were all local officials.

This has already stirred up the ruthless killing intent that Chinese and Lao officials developed in the military during their youth!

They had guns in holsters, the safety off...

When Fang Zong entered Huang Qiu's ward, an official suddenly spoke up: "This military officer, please feel free to ask if you need anything."

"The peaceful days are over. We old codgers stuck in the system aren't immune to death."

Fang Zong paused slightly, then nodded gently.

Pushing open the door, it closed gently behind them. Apart from Li Xiaoran and Xue Nuo, only Chen He, who was assisting Fang Zong, was allowed to enter the room.

The ward is an intensive care unit and is a single-patient room.

A burly man with prominent facial muscles lay on the bed, moving his fingers as he tried to help his body recover.

Fang Zong sat down next to Huang Qiu with a smile, holding Huang Qiu's hand, while Chen He handed over a document.

"hiss……"
