Who is the most terrifying person? Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

It's not the dumb people.

Because with dumb people, you can guess what they are thinking.

It's not the smart people either.

Because... the logic of smart people can be followed, and even if they surprise you, for the most part, they still act within reason.

So what's the most terrifying?

It's those who aren't smart but act as if they are.

Because... you can't guess at all what they're thinking.

And Bai Zhi was exactly that kind of person.

So facing Bai Zhi with an expression that said "I've guessed what you're thinking," honestly, Fang Ze was panicking because he had no idea how far Bai Zhi had guessed.

And she was incredibly confident too.

While Fang Ze was completely befuddled, Bai Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Don't keep hiding, if you're scared just say it~"

"Sister won't laugh at you."

At this point, with a look that said "I see through you," she continued, "Are you thinking of running away?"

"Thinking that, as long as you flee to other states, Jiang Cheng won't be able to find you?"

"Forget it."

"Let me tell you, you'll die even faster that way!"

"With the Security Bureau involved, they at least have to be concerned about their image. If you're thinking about running away, that's exactly what they're hoping for!"

Fang Ze:.....

No, I'm not!

I'm not an idiot!

I've known for a long that that's a quick way to die!

According to what Bai Zhi said.

Actually, the Jiang Family did have quite a few enemies in Xida State, and even within the Eastern Administrative Region.

At the forefront were the commoner-born senior administrators who now occupied various important positions and made up more than half of the Xida State Council Member list.

The commoner class wanted to grow and expand, which would inevitably squeeze the space of the nobles.

With one of the three great noble families in Xida State having fallen, many positions had been vacated. And considering Bai Zhi's family was content with their own lot and not very ambitious, of the three great noble families, only the Jiang Family was still contending with this emerging class.

And leading this class was the current Chairperson of Xida State's Council, He Weidao.

This man, now in his seventies, was a youth who grew up during the last years of Xida Country, lived through the 50 years of Disaster, and became one of the youngest officers in the Eastern Administrative Region.

In the fifty years since, he climbed from the Federal Defense Team, step by step, until he became the most powerful man in Xida State.

He was also the one who orchestrated the "Golden Sparrow Flower Incident" twelve years ago, demolishing one of the three major noble families, the Si Family.

Afterward, he successfully reached the pinnacle of power in Xida State, becoming a titan of the Commoner Faction across the entire Eastern Administrative Region and pressed the Jiang Family into a dire situation over the past decade.

And... Qingping, the deputy director of the State Security Bureau, and Gu Qing and Xun Yi from the Emerald City Security Bureau, were all his prized pupils.

Hearing this, Fang Ze had a head full of question marks. "Wait a second, Qingping?"

He recalled the previous two encounters with Qingping and then asked in confusion, "I can understand Gu Qing and Xun Yi."

"But Qingping...?"

"Isn't she in cahoots with Jiang Cheng?"

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi looked at him as if he were an idiot and said, "How could she be in the same camp as Jiang Cheng."

"You don't think that her coming here today to announce the news means she's on Jiang Cheng's side, do you?"

"You're wrong."

"The announcements made in the meeting room are results of discussions held by the heads of the State Security Bureau."

"She's just the executor."

"Therefore, the order doesn't represent her will."

Fang Ze finally came to a realization, but he still felt something was amiss, "But she's been targeting us the whole time..."
