Chapter 1124

~9 min read 1,623 words

Critic Newspaper: "Rampant! A large number of councilors suspected of being kidnapped, Police Department suspected of serious dereliction of duty!"

Daily News: "Wang Gong attacked! His Majesty is frightened and sick, plans to order the Princess to succeed to the throne in advance!"

Royal Post: "Lionheart Duke loyally saves the Emperor, His Majesty praises: Pillar of the Kingdom, my virtuous son-in-law!"

Corner Alley Newspaper: "Two major military and political cases passed, the upper level of the Kingdom may usher in a major reshuffle!"

Sun Newspaper: "Character Interview - Minister of Finance: I closed my eyes and opened them, crack! The throne is gone!"

Sun Newspaper: "Correction, the coup is a rumor, former Minister of Finance: I was just jealous for a moment, and will publicly apologize in a few days!"

"..."

After reading the headlines of the newspapers accumulated in the few days he went to the Dream Realm for a business trip, the Red-haired Director couldn't help but suspiciously pull open the drawer and look at the calendar inside.

Good guy... was the time I left really a week? Not a month? How could so many things happen in these few days?

"Li Ang!"

After slapping the desk hard, the Red-haired Director narrowed her eyes and shouted:

"Regarding what happened in the past few days, shouldn't you explain it to me?"

"Uh..."

Finding that the Director seemed really a little angry, Li Ang in front of the desk hesitated for a moment, then tentatively explained:

"These few days... should be considered a good thing, right?

Director, look, an unknown organization took advantage of your absence to attack the Wang Gong and prepare to kill the royal family members. This is a serious provocation to you, to our Virgin Branch, and even to the entire Cleaning Bureau!

And I represented our Virgin Branch and arrived in time. After a bitter battle, not only did I protect the royal family, but there were no casualties throughout the process. The royal family even wrote a thank-you letter to the General Bureau. Isn't this quite good?"

"Stop playing dumb with me!"

Angered to laughter by Li Ang's answer, the Red-haired Director lowered her voice and gritted her teeth:

"This set of yours can fool the General Bureau, but it can't fool me!

You know clearly who the remaining anomalous object holders among the rebels listen to! If you ask me, you bastard must have taken them to kidnap the councilors first, and then led the crowd to storm the Wang Gong to help the Princess usurp the throne!

As for that unknown organization, either you discovered their plot in advance but didn't report it, or you didn't know of their existence at all, and just happened to bump into them when you took action! Am I right?"

"..."

Good guy, you still say you won't read minds?

"Cough cough, that... Director, you really misunderstood."

Looking at the anger that was about to overflow from the beautiful fox eyes of his own Director, Li Ang blinked, then tried his best to deny:

"They are rebels. If you want to order them to accompany me to take risks, you definitely have to negotiate conditions. And the condition they proposed was to let me help kidnap the councilors. If you don't believe it, go and ask. They really requested this.

Mainly because the Bureau was short of manpower at that time, and the situation was really urgent. On one side, the Wang Gong was attacked and the royal family was about to be killed. On the other side, it was just kidnapping a few councilors. I had no choice, right?"

"Then how did you know that the royal family would have problems?"

"My ability is forced information acquisition, touched from people affected by the ability."

"What about you leading people to storm the Wang Gong?"

"No way, the ability of that thing is to control people in the Kingdom whose status is lower than her. Only rebels can not be controlled by her."

"What about that anomalous object that released the ability?"

"Silenced by the other party."

"What about the remains?"

"Just ashes left. I put it in a canned bottle. If the Bureau wants to see it, it can be taken away at any time."

"What about the Princess and the old Emperor..."

"Father is kind and daughter is filial, the relationship is very good. Any investigator who comes can ask at will, guaranteeing that the old Emperor really wants to abdicate."

"..." Good guy, count you ruthless!

After asking all the suspicious points he could think of, and finding that they were all blocked to death, the Red-haired Director rolled her eyes fiercely, then said unkindly:

"Fine, then I misunderstood you! When the investigators from the Bureau come down, remember to say the same thing. Otherwise, if you are exposed, don't come to me to fish you out!"

"Okay~"

"Also!"

Looking at Li Ang who breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the confession, the Red-haired Director couldn't help but frown and remind:

"Remember that there must be no next time! You were purely lucky this time! If you hadn't met that anomalous object, or if that anomalous object was something you couldn't deal with, what would you do?"

"If I can't solve it, I'll come back and call for help immediately, or go find the things you left behind. I have two immortal bodies, my life should be saved. As for if I hadn't met that anomalous object this time..."

Understanding that his words could fool the General Bureau but definitely couldn't fool the Director, Li Ang pondered for a while, then said frankly:

"Then I won't take action. The rebels are the ones kidnapping councilors and attacking the royal family. What does it have to do with a Level 3 Cleaner like me? And I don't have to worry about them being dealt with afterward.

The Princess won't pursue it after she takes the throne. Plus, according to the rules of the Bureau, criminals who have committed serious crimes can join the Cleaning Bureau to offset their crimes by cleaning up anomalous objects. Isn't this everyone happy?"

"You are quite thoughtful."

After humming with some dissatisfaction, the Red-haired Director hummed:

"What if I report it upward, or someone from the General Bureau is serious? Even if I try my best to block it, I have to specially investigate the anomalous object holders among those rebels. What will you do then?"

"That is Aquarius's conspiracy!"

After hearing the Director's question, Li Ang, who had already thought of an excuse before taking action, immediately said decisively:

"Their anomalous objects were not given by me, they were all created by Aquarius Director. This matter cannot be blamed on me. And a few nights ago, Aquarius Director once attacked the dream of Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, which I managed to repel. This matter was also reported.

With these two things connected, we have every reason to judge that Aquarius Director is becoming more and more frantic after regaining his power, and is actually preparing to attack the royal family!

Fortunately, you, Director, were one step ahead, sending me to lurk among the rebels in advance, gaining the trust of a group of rebel members, guiding them to the right path, and recruiting quite a few talents for the Bureau.

As for storming the Wang Gong, that was purely to lure Aquarius Director to take action, so as to get rid of this great trouble for the Bureau. Unfortunately, Aquarius Director is old and cunning, and didn't take the bait after finding that the situation was wrong."

"..."

Good guy... If I were willing to cooperate, this could barely make sense...

"Also."

Looking at the thoughtful Red-haired Director, Li Ang couldn't help but continue:

"As for the old Emperor abdicating, whether the Bureau will suspect this, actually don't have to worry. After all, he definitely won't hold an abdication ceremony in the near future. He has to recuperate his body anyway, so there is no such thing as a coup.

And he has been strongly supporting the Princess's reform for more than six years. The wind direction has always been that the Princess will succeed to the throne. How could it suddenly change to the Prince succeeding to the throne? Besides, Watching Watching Qiaoshuya can't do the job of an Emperor. There is a problem if you think about it!"

"Considering Aquarius Director's invasion of Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's dream, we have every reason to suspect that Aquarius Director is not doing this for the first time, so the old Emperor has been affected by Aquarius Director unknowingly. So this is setting things right, and it cannot be considered a violation."

"..."

You are really a talent! I guess even if the General Bureau really goes crazy, forcibly opens the blockade of the headquarters, and takes out the anomalous object that reverses time, it may not be able to convict you.

After all, if you do it this way, no matter how much evidence there is, it's useless. If asked, it's that I am loyal. As for what your specific plans are and why you took action, only the roundworms in your stomach know.

"By the way, Director."

Looking at the Red-haired Director whose mouth was twitching slightly and was speechless, Li Ang reminded carefully:

"This time, not only did we anticipate the enemy, once again destroyed Aquarius's conspiracy, discovered an evil organization with ulterior motives, completely suppressed a True God-level anomalous object, protected the safety of royal family members, and even recruited quite a few talents for the Bureau.

So no matter how you think about this matter, we have to ask for credit from the Bureau!"
