Once, I wanted to be a good person
Chapter 883 - 883: 222. Promotion to Executive Councilor!_3

Once this layout is completed, Fang Ze's side will have only the massive State Security Bureau, with only two positions: the Director and Deputy Director. Not only will there be no governing departments, but even the votes in the Director meetings will be completely outmatched, essentially rendering them powerless.

Throughout, He Weidao maintained a faint smile, as if he were doing something trivial.

After adjusting the work of various departments and cities, He Weidao brought up today's most important topic: the adjustment of the council members.

He glanced around the entire meeting room and then slowly began to speak, "Next, we need to discuss a serious matter."

"In this upheaval, we lost many colleagues, including Vice Speaker Bai, Vice Speaker Jiang, and several Executive Councilors."

"However, the positions of Vice Speaker and Executive Councilor are key roles that allow the Council to function normally. We cannot go a day without them."

"So, we must confirm the candidates as soon as possible."

"I have considered the positions, strengths, and identities of the council members and have nominated several candidates. Please take a look."

Saying this, He Weidao nodded to the person beside him. That person came down and distributed the documents one by one.

Fang Ze picked up the document and took a look. It clearly and straightforwardly listed the candidates for the two Vice Speakers: Federal Guard Inspector Xiong Qi and Minister Hei Sha of the Eastern District Special Forces. They are the other two giants of the Commoner Faction in Xida State.

As for the Executive Councilors, He Weidao did not monopolize power but left some dignity for the aristocrats: Fang Ze, Bai Zhi, and Jiang Cheng were among them.

However, from Jiang Cheng's actions of following He Weidao in and showing him respect, Fang Ze suspected that it was because Jiang Cheng defected to He Weidao that the Jiang Family got this position. In other words, Jiang Cheng couldn't really be considered part of the aristocrat faction; he should be considered part of the Commoner Faction instead...

However, for Fang Ze, this was not a bad thing.

After all, no matter how He Weidao calculated, he couldn't foresee that Jiang Cheng, who defected to him, was actually Fang Ze's man and was even under Fang Ze's soul control.

And now that the Jiang Family's Demigod had fallen, no one could discover or lift Jiang Cheng's soul control.

In this way, when the critical moment comes, Jiang Cheng could be Fang Ze's secret weapon.

As for the other six Executive Councilors, they were all from the Commoner Faction. Lan Bing, who clearly met the requirements of position and strength, was excluded from the list. He Weidao completely disregarded basic rules.

The situation with the Regular Councilors was even more brutal. Except for Lan Bing and Councilor Jia, all the councilors from the aristocrat faction were completely wiped out, without exception.

Lan Bing was too high in position and strength, making it impossible to remove her. As for Councilor Jia, he disguised himself too well: when He Weidao came, this old fox was quicker than anyone to stand up.

By the end of the meeting, nearly all the aristocrat faction's forces were removed from the center of power in Xida State, marking the complete downfall of the aristocrat faction in Xida State, leaving them just slightly stronger than some top Awakener families...

Throughout the meeting, Fang Ze and the others did not speak out or oppose; they seemed like mere puppets. After the meeting finished, they didn't stay to socialize with other council members and were the first to leave in full view.

When they left, it was just as the new day's morning sun rose, spilling its light on them. Yet, it seemed like the twilight of a sunset, as if narrating that the aristocrats who had ruled Xida State for decades were exiting history's stage starting from this day...

.....

At the same time, at the Provincial Government. Si Family Manor, Fang Ze's room.

The Flower God stood by the bed, peering out at Villa No. 8, her face full of hesitation.

"Fang Ze is not at home, and the masters in the Provincial Government seem to have all gone out. This is a good opportunity."

"I've waited a day and a night, and they haven't returned. It seems they won't be back for a while. Should I take this chance to see what's there?"

After hesitating for a moment, the Flower God finally made a decision.

A moment later, a petal floated out of the window, as if alive, drifting towards Villa No. 8...

Perhaps due to recovering some strength, this time she floated with exceptional grace and much faster speed.

....

Meanwhile, Fang Ze and the other two sat in the Si Family's car, preparing to return to the Si Family Manor.

Inside the car, the expressions of the three were somewhat grim, clearly angered by He Weidao's arrogance.

Among them, Bai Zhi was the most impatient. The car had only traveled a few dozen meters when she said without expression, "My grandfather fought bravely and paid with his life to kill a Demigod at the Absolute Pinnacle and severely wound an Outer Realm Demigod, which temporarily brought peace to Xida State. Yet, before he is even buried, He Weidao acts like this, which is simply intolerable."

Hearing her words, Lan Bing's icy face grew even colder, and Fang Ze remained silent for a moment.

After a moment, he calmly said, "Indeed, it is intolerable."

"Old Mr. Bai sacrificed himself for the Human Race, the Federation, and Xida State, only to get such a result. We can't just let it go like this."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi couldn't help but look at him and then asked, "Fang Ze, do you have a plan?"

Fang Ze nodded slightly, then said, "I'm not sure. But I have at least a seventy percent chance of trying something!"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi's eyes lit up involuntarily, and Lan Bing, sitting in the front, also turned around to look at Fang Ze.
