Once, I wanted to be a good person

Was it really just that simple to settle the matter after someone killed a director of the Investigation Bureau in a low-tier city?

After thinking about how Fang Ze was rescued overnight by Bai Zhi following the incident, he became even more puzzled about Fang Ze's identity.

Is everyone at the Security Bureau really that united?

Does killing a director always result in a bureau chief coming to save the day?

Or is there something more special about Fang Ze, perhaps some other identity?

While he was pondering this, Fang Ze curiously pointed at the man who was struggling and asked, "By the way, are you back at work? And who is this?"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Wang Hao came to his senses, let out an "Oh," and said, "Yes, I returned to Emerald City today. Then I thought I'd take a day off."

"But who knew, our chief said that the Flower Morning Festival is making the Red Light District rather chaotic and told me not to take any rest and to go on patrol directly."

At this point, he paused, pointed at the man and said, "I've seen this guy many times. He always sneaks into the Red Light District."

"Every time I want to check his identity, he says he forgot to bring it."

"And he forgot it again this time!"

"So I thought I'd give him a lesson."

Hearing Wang Hao's words, Fang Ze looked at the man.

The man had messy hair, was slovenly and unkempt, his eyes half-open as if he had not woken up, occasionally yawning.

Although Wang Hao was grabbing his clothes, he seemed entirely unconcerned, as if he didn't mind at all.

Fang Ze looked at him twice, then asked Wang Hao, "Did anything happen after he went in previously?"

Wang Hao thought for a moment, and said, "Not really."

Fang Ze smiled and said, "Then there shouldn't be an issue. Let it go. Everyone is here to have fun, probably inconvenient to reveal identity."

Seeing Fang Ze saying so, and considering that this man seemed indeed never to have caused trouble before, Wang Hao also let go of him.

The slovenly man thanked Fang Ze and then walked with unsteady steps into the Red Light District.

Watching his retreating figure, the two of them shook their heads silently, unbothered.

After that, Fang Ze and Wang Hao chatted for a while, learned about the different areas of the Red Light District and about the faction forces, then Fang Ze bid him goodbye.

Entering the Red Light District, Fang Ze recalled the information about the Red Light District.

It turned out that in this world, the Red Light District was actually a designated area...

A bit similar to the slums of lower-tier cities, this Red Light District is also a place not much managed by the Governing Hall or Investigation Bureau.

Inside, factions abound and filth is rampant. It is considered an area that carries the negative aspects of the city.

Unlike the slums, however. The slums are truly lawless—robbery and murder can occur, and the Investigation Bureau wouldn't even bother to inquire.

But in the Red Light District, there is still a basic bottom line to adhere to: no killing...n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

If no homicide occurs, the Investigation Bureau doesn't intervene, but if a homicide does occur, they start to send people to sweep through and temporarily shut down the Red Light District! Your next chapter awaits on empire

The Red Light District is also divided into several areas. There are ordinary areas, high-end areas, and the truly top-tier venue: Paradise District...

The Paradise District is considered the ultimate hotspot of the entire Red Light District, not only filled with beauties but also home to "Sub-human ladies who have either Awakener or Disaster Creature bloodlines, possessing non-human features yet lacking Awakening Abilities."

The top 10 on the Golden Rooster List are almost all these essentially exotic Sub-human ladies...

Today's destination for Fang Ze was also there, as a contact of the Rejuvenation Society in Emerald City was entrenched there.

With that in mind, Fang Ze headed toward Paradise District, following the directions given by Wang Hao.

Upon reaching the entrance of Paradise District, Fang Ze encountered the sloppy man again who had been involved with Wang Hao.

Seeing each other, both were momentarily stunned.

Perhaps due to their unlikely kinship, they casually greeted one another.

The man pointed at the entrance of Paradise District and asked, "Brother, are you here to have fun too?"

Fang Ze nodded and replied, "You too?"

The man smiled, waving a magazine in his hand, "Regular!"

Fang Ze observed how adept the man seemed and contemplated.

Momentarily, he smiled and said, "Is that so? Then, big brother, you'll have to show me around."

Speaking of which, he added, "By the way, my name is Gao Shu, how should I address you, big brother?"

The man casually laughed and said, "Me? I'm called Zhang San."
