Zhou Hao walked to the front and sat down, with two rows of soldiers standing quietly behind him, exuding an imposing aura.

Yang Han scanned them with his spiritual power and was slightly surprised to find that they were all at the Flying Heaven Realm!

No wonder he's the guy who controls the military forces outside the Northwest Base City!

They're really tough to deal with...

At this moment, although he had seen Zhou Hao, he was still somewhat conflicted. If one day he could really kill this guy, and this guy hadn't done anything wrong, what should he do?

Could he really bring himself to do it?

Putting aside everything else, this guy deserves a lot of credit for the stability that the Northwest Base City had enjoyed for so many years before this.

Thoughts raced through my mind, and then the last important figure appeared.

"This is Gu Fenglin, the Director of the Administrative Department. He is in charge of many affairs, big and small, in the entire base city. He also presides over and organizes meetings of this level every time. He is the most respected senior director."

Yang Han listened to Liu Hong's introduction and looked over there.

Gu Fenglin was an elderly man with gray hair, dressed in casual clothes, his body ramrod straight, and he looked to be in very good spirits.

At this moment, he was followed by two people, who were clearly at least at the same level as Liu Hong.

Yang Han silently kept these people in mind, knowing he would likely have to deal with them in the future.

The characters appeared one after another, and it was almost time.

dong dong!

Gu Fenglin tapped the table twice, and the entire room fell silent. No one spoke.

"Cough cough..."

He coughed and said quietly, "Everyone, I won't say anything more. Yesterday, the Criminal Law Department took down the Li family. After a series of interrogations and investigations, it was found that the Li family were either demonized humans or there was direct evidence of their collusion with the demon race... How did such a large family infiltrate the Northwest Base City so quietly? I believe everyone understands the reasons behind this."

Everyone was slightly taken aback. The words were quite clear: someone was up to no good.

Moreover, someone who can achieve this level must be of a high status.

Xing Ruhai remained indifferent and silent, his thoughts unreadable.

Qian Tong rubbed his stomach, a simple smile on his face.

Zhou Hao looked stern, frowned slightly, and remained silent, waiting for Gu Fenglin to continue.

"Cough cough..."

Gu Fengling coughed a few more times, as if he was feeling unwell.

"The Northwest Base City is the first line of defense in the northwest of the Holy City, and it has been attached to the Holy City for a hundred years. I think... none of you want it to be destroyed in our hands, right? Now, the war between the human and demon races is still ongoing, and the top experts have not yet decided the victor, but the front line has already collapsed a thousand miles away. This is really not right."

As he spoke, he picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and seemed to feel a little better. He then said, "That's the situation. What do you all think... what should we do?"

"Of course we must investigate this thoroughly!"

Xing Ruhai slammed his hand on the table, his face filled with anger.

"How dare the demon race trespass on human territory? If anyone betrays humanity, they will not be treated as human. I suggest that we kill them one by one, and kill the whole group if we find them. I may be harsh, but if any of you get involved, don't blame me, Xing Ruhai, for being ruthless."

These words caused a tense atmosphere in the room.

This guy has a really bad temper. He started killing right away. What kind of situation is this? Who is your subordinate?

"Why is Old Xing in such a hurry?"

Qian Tong rubbed the jade ring on his finger and chuckled, "Nobody said they wouldn't check. You just came up here with this whole thing to show off your abilities, huh?"

Without giving Xing Ruhai a chance to retort, he looked at everyone and said, "However, although what Old Xing said was harsh, I still agree with him. That little brat from the demon race went too far this time. Many of my business associations have been affected. I fully support him in investigating this matter thoroughly."

"Fatty Qian, I thought you could come up with something fancy, but you're just saying the same thing as me, aren't you?"

Xing Ruhai was indignant and made a complaint.

"Haha, it's just a meeting, no need to make it so serious, right?"

Qian Tong smiled憨憨地, like a kind old man.

"Besides, which of the four people present dares to say they won't investigate? This question is actually meaningless; if you don't investigate, doesn't that clearly mean you're the one with the problem?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Hao, who had remained silent.

"Director Zhou, don't you think so?"

All eyes turned to the silent director.

"Of course we'll investigate."

Zhou Hao spoke, his voice strong and resonant.

"I just want to ask, the Four Divisions are in charge of the Northwest Base City, my Military and Political Division is mainly responsible for external enemy engagements, and you are responsible for internal governance. Now that such a problem has occurred in the city, don't you all need to give me an explanation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hao's aura subtly erupted, as did the soldiers behind him.

However, who among those present wasn't a strong person? Naturally, no one was intimidated by his imposing presence.

"What utter nonsense!"

Xing Ruhai cursed angrily, showing no respect for Zhou Hao whatsoever.

"Whether they're demons or demonized humans, where did they come from? Could it be that they were originally in the Northwest Base City? So many of them crossed your military and political defenses without you noticing, and you still have the nerve to question us?"

Xing Ruhai grew increasingly angry: "You want us to give you an explanation? Since you've put it that way, then tell us today, how are you going to explain yourself?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Ruhai's aura exploded, and he confronted Zhou Hao head-on.

The two men, one in charge of foreign affairs and the other in charge of internal security, may have just said Zhou Hao's words casually, but in Xing Ruhai's ears, they meant him!

"Alright, we're here to resolve the issue, not to watch you argue."

With a wave of his hand, Gu Fenglin's imposing aura instantly subsided, and the venue returned to silence.

Everyone frowned slightly and looked at him, deeply shocked.

This old guy broke through?

That power just now... it was from the Origin Transformation Realm!

"There's nothing strange about it. I've been immersed in the Flying Heaven Realm for many years, and only now have I been able to break through to the Origin Transformation Realm. I can say that my life has not been in vain."

"Elder Gu, are you about to head to the Holy City?"

Qian Tong asked curiously.

The strongest force in the base city is usually at the Flying Realm. Once they break through to the Origin Transformation Realm, they should be promoted to a position in the Holy City.

"That's right, so I hope to restore the Northwest Base City to its former state before heading to the Holy City, and I hope everyone will lend their full support!"

After speaking, Gu Fengling stood up and gave a slight bow to the three directors.

"Oh, Elder Gu, why are you doing this? It's our duty to protect the Northwest Base City, why go to such lengths?"

Xing Ruhai was also a little embarrassed.

It should be noted that these three are all new-generation directors, while this person is the previous director. In terms of both seniority and seniority, he is their elder.

Although the four departments jointly govern the Northwest Base City, the Director of the Administrative Department actually has a slight advantage in terms of influence.

After all, the Administrative Secretary has an extremely important power: he has two votes in the vote to appoint the Secretary.

Therefore, although everyone disliked each other, they still respected him quite a bit.

Even Zhou Hao returned the greeting slightly at this moment.

"Mr. Gu, why don't you just tell us how to investigate? What should we do? We will cooperate fully. We want the Northwest Base City to become better and stronger more than anyone else."

"Yes, Mr. Gu, if you have a solution, please just say so."

It's no wonder people say that; in most cases, it's Gu Fenglin who comes up with the plans when something happens.

This guy is experienced and shrewd, and he's more reliable and trustworthy in his work.

"good!"

Gu Fenglin slowly sat down: "Then thank you all very much."

He slowly picked up his teacup, took another sip, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "My suggestion is very simple. Since we already have the Li family as a lead, let's follow that lead and investigate further. With everyone's full cooperation, it will be difficult for demons or demonized humans to hide."

"If anyone doesn't cooperate, arrest them first. This is definitely not normal."

Everyone nodded. Although it was simple, it was the most direct and effective solution.

In the past, the hardest part of investigating cases was not the investigation itself, but the various obstacles that would arise. Now, who would dare to obstruct them?

Do you want to die?

"I agree!"

Qian Tong was the first to raise his hand.

"I will inform them when I get back today, and the Financial Secretary will fully cooperate from top to bottom."

"I agree!"

Xing Ruhai naturally had no reason to refuse, and raised his right hand as well.

At this moment, only Zhou Hao remained, and everyone looked at him.
