Once, I wanted to be a good person
Chapter 881 - 881: 222. Promotion to Executive Councilor!

Upon seeing Fang Ze standing still after getting off the car, Councilor Jia slightly adjusted his clothes and quickly led a few others to Fang Ze.

Upon reaching Fang Ze, he first gave a slight bow to Fang Ze, then smiled and said, "Councilman Fang Ze, I just received orders from the Chairperson. Xida State has undergone major changes, with many cities, departments, and families severely impacted. To ensure Xida State can operate normally and proceed with the next strategic deployments, an emergency council meeting has been called, requiring your presence and..."

He glanced at the people beside Fang Ze, "Director Lan Bing, Miss Bai Zhi, are all required to attend."

Hearing Councilor Jia's words, Fang Ze frowned and asked, "Now?"

Councilor Jia nodded, then checked the time and said, "This emergency council meeting is scheduled for an hour from now."

"To ensure all council members can attend the meeting, the Chairperson has opened a special spatial channel, allowing council members to directly use spatial transmission artifacts to head to the Provincial Government."

"So urgent?" Fang Ze frowned deeply, sensing nothing good would come from this meeting.

Sure enough, Councilor Jia took advantage of the moment when those behind him weren't paying attention to give Fang Ze a knowing look.

Fang Ze keenly received his signal, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay. Let's head to the Provincial Government now."

Seeing Fang Ze agree, Councilor Jia quickly smiled and said, "Alright, Councilman Fang Ze. Please get in the car."

With that, he gestured towards the car he had just gotten out of.

Fang Ze nodded knowingly, then called over Hei Yu and quietly arranged matters for after his departure before following Councilor Jia into the car.

Behind him, Bai Zhi and Lan Bing also got into the second car. As for several committee members from Congyun City who had followed Councilor Jia all the way here without a word, they slinked back to the rear vehicle and started moving again.

Once everyone was in the cars, the vehicles started.

At this time, in the first car, sitting beside Fang Ze, Councilor Jia stealthily observed the driver in front, then passed over a silver plain ring, indicating for Fang Ze to wear it.

Fang Ze took the ring and directly placed it on his index finger.

A moment later, Councilor Jia's voice resonated in his mind, "Young Master. This extraordinary artifact is called the [Whispering Ring]. Just wear it, and without speaking, you can convey your thoughts to another wearer."

Fang Ze softly responded with a "Hmm," then in his heart inquired, "You came so mysteriously; is something happening?"

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Councilor Jia softly said in his heart, "Yes, Young Master. Initially, it wasn't my responsibility to inform you, but after learning of this task, I proactively took it on just to brief you on the situation inside the Provincial Government."

Fang Ze gave another soft "Hmm" and waited for Councilor Jia to explain.

As the conversation turned serious, Councilor Jia's expression became solemn as he said in his heart, "Young Master, you should be aware of the significant changes in Xida State this time. You also know how the matter was resolved."

"Although I'm not clear on how the Chairperson, the Inspector, and Old Mr. Bai came to know about the demigod's plan this time, the fact is that, through their combined efforts, Xida State withstood the first wave of the demigod's assault, effectively preventing the situation from deteriorating."

"This was actually a result of the Commoner Faction and Noble Faction working together. Even driving back Tuo Ye State and the demigod, the main credit goes to Old Mr. Bai. Yet the Chairperson seized the victory of this battle."

"You likely saw the propaganda on TV and radio in Congyun City. They heavily emphasized his achievements while downplaying Old Mr. Bai's contributions. His goal is to harness public opinion to alter the entire upper structure of Xida State."

Hearing Councilor Jia's words, Fang Ze was silent for a moment, then softly asked in his mind, "How does he plan to change it?"

In his heart, Councilor Jia replied, "He intends to leverage the destruction of the Jiang Family and the retirement of the Bai Family to re-elect the council, completely ousting the Noble Faction from the power stage of Xida State."

Fang Ze closed his eyes, his mind racing as he contemplated the news brought by Councilor Jia. After a moment, he opened his eyes and asked in his heart, "Is he eyeing those two Vice Chairperson positions?"

Councilor Jia whispered in his heart, "Not just those. The Executive Councilor and Council Member positions too. His appetite is large; he wants the Noble Faction to no longer have any environment to survive in Xida State."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ze said nothing, only slightly furrowing his brows and replying blandly, "Understood." He then stopped speaking further.

Seeing Fang Ze didn't ask more questions, Councilor Jia also didn't continue and fell silent as well.

After the two remained silent for over a minute, Fang Ze suddenly spoke again in his heart, "Councilor Jia, with your shrewdness, you could completely turn to He Weidao now, seeking a higher position. Why are you secretly tipping me off?"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Councilor Jia chuckled, then replied in a candid manner in his heart, "Young Master, spare me the probing. I might be a petty person, but I understand that being a traitor constantly leads to no good end."

"So, once I've chosen you this time, I won't change again. Whether the future is prosperous with you or dismal, that's up to my judgment, and I won't regret it."
