Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 340 - 72. Federal crackdown on state militias! (1,100 words 2/2!)
Hearing Bai Ling and other Commissioners speaking, Fang Ze was momentarily stunned.
He almost blurted out, "Isn’t it just a thing in the pond?" but then he remembered that the phrase was not very appropriate, so he swallowed it back.
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but lower his head to look at Bai Ling beside him, waiting for her explanation.
Bai Ling indeed did not disappoint Fang Ze, and whispered to him, "Fang Ze, this item is very precious."
"Don’t just see it as a mere statue, but it is actually a living golden carp."
"This type of carp comes from a canyon waterfall on the edge of the western jurisdiction."
"That canyon waterfall is said to be over three hundred meters high, becoming narrower the higher it goes. From the bottom looking up, you can only see a sliver of sky, hence the locals call it ’One-Line Sky.’"
"Below the One-Line Sky waterfall is a vast lake called Great Ze Lake, which is abundant with these golden carps."
"Legend has it that these gold carps have a hint of dragon bloodline and during the spring equinox, if they swim upstream against the current and leap over the One-Line Sky waterfall, they can transform into a dragon and ascend to heaven."
"Therefore, many nobles feel this carp symbolizes great fortune and pay a high price to purchase them. They then encase them in special magical artifacts, making them appear as if they are leaping through mist at the dragon gate, which are then displayed in their homes for viewing and to bring good luck."
"And this completed ornament is then known as ’Golden Scale,’ inspired by the idea ’A golden scale is not something from the mere pond; once it meets the wind and clouds, it changes into a dragon.’
While she spoke, the female officer just stood there dignified, with a smiling face, not saying a word.
After she finished, the female officer gestured with her hand.
Immediately, another servant stepped forward and handed her a bottle of pure water.
The female officer picked up the bottle, twisted it open, and then poured it over the golden carp.
The moment the water touched the golden carp, the entire body of the fish leapt, and a sound that was like a tiger but not a tiger, like a snake but not a snake, resounded next to everyone’s ears.
Following that, a rainbow of seven colors appeared, and the golden carp instantly elongated its body, transforming into a golden dragon’s apparition, winding through the air.
The entire scene was breathtaking!
Fang Ze witnessed all of this, then he gently poked Bai Ling’s waist and asked, "Is this thing expensive?"

Bai Ling quickly nodded, "Expensive. At least one or two million Lini."
Fang Ze sucked in a breath of cold air.
Jiang Cheng really went all out.
Giving such a big gift to his own enemy!
Thinking this, Fang Ze whispered again, "Besides looking good, does this ornament have any other uses?"
Bai Ling thought for a moment and quietly replied, "I heard it’s supposed to bring good fortune and increase prosperity when placed in a home."
Fang Ze sharply caught the keyword, "Heard?"
Bai Ling nodded and quietly added, "Because nobody can really tell if it works."
Fang Ze figured it out. It’s just a scam...
He suddenly thought, Jiang Cheng chose this gift very well.
It’s beautiful, expensive, but useless!
Especially when trapping an enemy, it could infuriate someone to death!
If in the future he had money, he might also give an enemy one of these just to irritate them.
Thinking this, Fang Ze was momentarily startled.
The opponent couldn’t possibly be... trying to infuriate him to death or lure him out to sell the item, right?
Thinking this, Fang Ze couldn’t help but laugh.
He thought it was a pity that Jiang Cheng didn’t know how many channels he had for liquidating assets.
Not only could he directly recycle these resources through "Credit World," but he could also earn credit points by giving them to Bai Zhi.
And all of these didn’t require him to leave the Security Bureau.
Jiang Cheng would definitely be infuriated.
While thinking this, Fang Ze gestured to Bai Ling, "Bai Ling, take it for me."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling happily scampered over and took the immensely valuable gift.
Seeing the item being handed over, the female officer did not delay. After congratulating Fang Ze once more, she left the Security Bureau with her entourage.
Across from the Security Bureau in a high-rise building, a homeless man watched the female officer go in and out with the gift, yawned, then took another swig of his drink, casually picking up the dirty corner of his clothes to wipe the sword under his feet.
Inside the Security Bureau, as Bai Ling held the precious gift and listened to the conversation between the female officer and Fang Ze, many Commissioners began to discuss quietly.
"It’s actually a Golden Scale. Worthy of the Jiang Family. Truly a grand gesture."
"It’s not a cursed redhead? I refuse to accept!"

"My Death Bullfrog refuses too."
No one paid attention to these two jesters as others continued discussing,
"So, is the Jiang Family conceding and trying to make amends?"
"Probably?"
"It seems that Commissioner Fang Ze is really going to make it big. Even the Jiang Family is coming to make amends."
"Exactly."
Because he had cultivated Body Tempering to a very high level, and his senses were sharp, Fang Ze could easily hear the Commissioners’ discussion even without much effort.
He couldn’t help but smile, too lazy to explain, waved Bai Ling over, and took her upstairs to deliver the gift...
Soon, the two arrived at Bai Zhi’s office.
Bai Ling apparently had a very good relationship with Bai Zhi. In her absence, she actually took out a key to Bai Zhi’s office from her purse, unlocked the door, and led Fang Ze inside.
