Once, I wanted to be a good person

```

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi couldn't help but ask, "The next step of the plan?"

Fang Ze nodded, and then said nonchalantly, "Don't you want to know the intelligence regarding the organization?"

"I can give you some of it now."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi and Bai Ling exchanged a surprised look.

Previously, Fang Ze had intentionally been withholding information about the organization, which had caused them to have some doubts.

They worried that Fang Ze might be deliberately leading them on.

But because they wanted to take the risk, and after hearing Fang Ze's plan, they did not think anything would go wrong. So they had agreed.

They had assumed that Fang Ze would not disclose the specific intelligence until the very end, so they were not in a hurry.

But who would have known that only halfway through the plan, Fang Ze would suddenly decide to share the intelligence?

Fang Ze, however, ignored their surprise and methodically divulged the details of the organization's intelligence.

The intelligence he possessed was not extensive. It was just some information about the organization's purpose, its manifesto, and the scope of its activities.

However, for the upcoming plan, and for Bai Zhi, who had not gained much until now, this was enough.

After listening to Fang Ze, Bai Zhi frowned thoughtfully and murmured, "The Rejuvenation Society?"

"The disaster fifty years ago?"

"The secret covered up by the Federation?"

"Their activities span the entire Eastern Administrative Region, with infiltrations into eight states?"

Listening to the intelligence provided by Fang Ze, Bai Zhi did not harbor much suspicion.

Although she did not understand why Fang Ze wanted to cooperate with her or what his real intentions were, she could tell that Fang Ze was indeed wholeheartedly helping her catch the mole.

Moreover, this intelligence coincidentally matched a secret known only to the nobility.

Therefore, she was 70% confident that this intelligence was authentic.

With this in mind, Bai Zhi looked at Fang Ze once more with newfound seriousness.

'This man is talented...'

Although she didn't know if Fang Ze could truly help her catch the mole, the fact that he had obtained this intelligence in only two days made Bai Zhi take him more seriously.

While she was thinking this, Fang Ze suddenly spoke up again.

He said, "Have you memorized the intelligence I just shared with you?"

Bai Zhi snapped out of her thoughts, and together with Bai Ling, they nodded.

Then Fang Ze said, "Now, cooperate and put on a play. Share the intelligence I told you with every suspect!"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi and Bai Ling were once again surprised.

They had the intent to question, but Fang Ze had already begun explaining his plan.

So they could only hold back their doubts and listen attentively to Fang Ze's plan.

After hearing Fang Ze's plan, the two exchanged a look and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Poisonous! It was extraordinarily diabolical!

This was clearly pushing the moles into a corner.

Even though they still didn't understand what Fang Ze meant by "game theory" and "prisoner's dilemma," they could see the terror in such manipulative tactics that directly targeted the darkest aspects of human nature.

No wonder Fang Ze didn't need an Extraordinary Artifact to catch the moles.

With such a method, who needed Extraordinary Artifacts!

For a moment, the way they looked at Fang Ze changed.

Fang Ze, feeling a bit puzzled, glanced at them and said, "What are you staring at me for? Go on, get to work!"

Although among the three of them, Fang Ze was the lowest in rank, perhaps because the plan had made such an impression on them, they obediently nodded and then prepared to discontinue communication to begin the second round of the plan.

Just at that moment, Fang Ze suddenly said, "Wait a second."

The two stopped in their tracks.

Fang Ze said, "Be careful. Watch out for their desperate backlash."

Bai Zhi's gaze sharpened, and then she nodded earnestly...

.......

Bluewater Forest.

Fang Ze ended the communication, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said to One Two Three, who was digging traps, "Come on, One Two Three!"

"The first time, that group of three caught up with me at night."

"The second time, the ranger caught up with me in the afternoon."

"Based on the timing, our next wave of enemies will likely catch up with us this morning or early in the day."

"So, we must finish setting the traps before dawn and make the necessary preparations!"

"That way, we won't have to worry about being powerless when the pursuers arrive!"

One Two Three responded with two growls, which served as an acknowledgment, and then he resumed eagerly digging the trap with a wooden shovel.

Fang Ze took the towel from around his neck, wiped off his sweat, and then cheered loudly, "Come on! Come on! Come on!"

A moment later, he wiped his sweat again and fanned himself, lamenting, "Ah, it's so hot today, being a cheerleader is really exhausting."

......

Meanwhile, back at the Special Case Team.

Bai Zhi and Bai Ling began the second round of mole-hunting probing according to Fang Ze's plan.

"Wang Hao! Stop pretending! We already know you're the mole from the lie detection results, and in our first round of investigations, we've also pinpointed another accomplice of yours."

"Are you planning to confess on your own for a lighter sentence, or will you wait to see if your accomplice betrays you?"

"What?" Wang Hao said, completely bewildered.

After a moment, the dormitory door swung open, and Bai Ling walked in excitedly,

"Bai, Wang Hao's accomplice has confessed."

"Oh?"

Bai Ling said, "Their organization is called the Rejuvenation Society. Their main area of activity is the Eastern Region, and their purpose is...."

Wang Hao: ???

.....

"Gao Shu! Stop pretending! We already know you're the mole from the lie detection results, and also..."

```

"Now, do you plan to confess on your own, to lighten your punishment, or..."

"Bai, Gao Shu's accomplices have already confessed."

"Oh?"

"The organization they belong to is called the Rejuvenation Society. Its main area of activity..."

....

"Director Pang! Stop pretending! We already know you're the mole, thanks to the lie detector results..."

.....

Similar conversations were heard in each of the rooms where suspects were held.

And every time, they were met with the bewildered and puzzled looks of the Investigators and Commissioners.

And after probing for a while, the two dropped a line, "Seems like you're still playing tough, then stay locked up here for now!" and left the room.

Yet, with each exit from a room, their spirits sank a little more.

They were sure that Fang Ze's plan was foolproof. But... it was as if they couldn't find a single mole that would take the bait.

Were they just unlucky? Having questioned so many people without finding a single mole?

Or was Fang Ze's so-called "Prisoner's Dilemma" ineffective?

At this point, Bai Ling's face was increasingly losing confidence. She gnawed on her fingernails like a worried little hamster.

Bai Zhi, on the other hand, was more composed.

It wasn't that she trusted Fang Ze more, but rather that the partial intelligence on the organization she had received from Fang Ze was already worth the risk.

So even if they didn't catch the mole, she wouldn't be too disappointed.

Thus, they went from room to room, visiting eight suspects in total, all to no avail.

Finally, they came to the ninth room: Cui Xuemin's room...

......

At this time, Cui Xuemin was actually more nervous than they were.

He had no idea that all of this was a trap.

Being locked up alone in the room, unable to contact his accomplice, not even knowing who it was, the pressure inside him kept mounting.

The threat to his life from Bai Zhi's strength also terrified him.

He was tempted to stubbornly hold out, but he feared his accomplice giving up information first, rendering his resistance meaningless.

He thought about escaping, but he didn't have any Transcendent Artifacts that could facilitate a transfer, and after seeing Bai Zhi's strength, he knew it was almost impossible to get away.

Thus, he could only keep resisting in the room, hoping that Bai Zhi was really just trying to bluff him.

And while he was thinking this, his room door was pushed open from the outside.

Bai Zhi walked in alone.

Seeing Bai Zhi, Cui Xuemin quickly composed himself, then smiled at Bai Zhi and said, "Commissioner, do we have results? Can I go now?"

Upon hearing Cui Xuemin's words, Bai Zhi, with a cold face, looked at him and said, "Cui Xuemin. Stop pretending. We just found out that you're one of the moles."

"We just wanted to confirm who your accomplice is, so we didn't deal with you for the time being."

"Now your accomplice is already under control."

"Bai Ling is currently interrogating him. I'm here to give you one last chance, out of respect for your father. Will you confess or not?"

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Cui Xuemin's face showed a perfectly eager and perplexed expression, "Commissioner! What are you talking about?"

"You know me! My father works for the Security Bureau, how could I possibly betray the Security Bureau?"

"There must be some misunderstanding here. Please don't be deceived by others!"

Bai Zhi shook her head in disappointment, "It seems you still harbor some unrealistic hopes."

And just as she said that, suddenly, the dormitory door was "thud thud thud" knocked on.

Bai Zhi said, "Come in."

Bai Ling entered excitedly from outside and then said to Bai Zhi, "Bai! The other side confessed!"

With that said, she looked at Cui Xuemin with pity, then approached Bai Zhi.

Upon hearing Bai Ling's words, Cui Xuemin clenched his fists tightly, reassuring himself in his mind: Impossible, it can't be. They must be bluffing me! They have to be!

But just then, he heard Bai Ling whisper to Bai Zhi, "They said their organization is called the Rejuvenation Society, a group that has been established for 50 years. Their main area of activity is the Eastern Administrative Region. The purpose of their establishment is to uncover..."

Hearing Bai Ling's words, Cui Xuemin's head buzzed!

They confessed!

They actually confessed!

That damned bastard really betrayed the organization! Spilled everything!

It's over! All is lost!

Thinking of what would happen to him now that the other side had confessed, thinking of that madwoman Bai Zhi and the things she had done!

A great despair welled up within him!

His eyes reddened as he looked at Bai Zhi, then suddenly yanked a button from the seam of his trousers and threw it at Bai Zhi.

Then he erupted with astonishing strength and lunged toward the window!

With a "crash," the glass shattered, and Cui Xuemin jumped out of the window.

He let out a long howl, his body glittering with gold, and as he faced the bright moonlight, he transformed into a massive fox, at least a dozen meters tall!

The fox was covered in golden fur, sleek and fluffy; with every move, it sparked like needles of light.

Then, with resentful eyes, the fox took one last look back at Bai Zhi, who was frantically catching the "Law Prohibition decree" made button, then pushed off with four limbs and bounded away into the distance!

Meanwhile, inside the room.

The sudden turn of events didn't alarm Bai Zhi. On the contrary, her face was filled with excitement.

"Fang Ze's method actually worked!"

"We really tricked the mole into revealing himself!"

"So it was you!"

"This time we've caught a big fish!"

With that, she threw the button aside with a "snap!" and turned to Bai Ling, "Keep a close watch on the other suspects! Don't let them escape! Wait for me for 30 seconds!"

"Yes!" Bai Ling responded excitedly with a salute!

Then Bai Zhi leaped out of the temporary residence!
