Chapter 660 (Young Man, You're Overthinking)
This was within Shi Zhengao's expectations. Over the years, they had only been catching small fry, not a single big fish. If Director Ji showed no reaction to this, then something was truly amiss.
Shi Zhengao hurriedly explained, "Director Ji, you're not aware of the situation here. We're short-staffed, and the welfare benefits are poor. Many people are unwilling to work. It was said that equipment would be distributed, but we still haven't seen anything."
"They haven't been distributed yet?" Ji Yang said in a low voice.
"Yes, it's been delayed all this time."
Zhuang Hong chuckled lightly, "Your Time-Space Bureau is really corrupt, one pit after another. Once you're here, there's nothing left. Or... is it because of you, Director Ji?"
"Zhuang Hong! That's enough," Ji Yang reprimanded Zhuang Hong. He didn't know how many negative things he would have to report to the president this time.
"Director Ji, no need to get angry. It's quite normal," Zhuang Hong disregarded it and continued.
Ji Yang wished he could just stab Zhuang Hong to death.
Shi Zhengao, standing on the side, seemed to have figured something out. Could it be that this man was here to supervise him? That's why Director Ji didn't dare to provoke him.
After a while, Ji Yang calmed down and continued to ask, "Even if there are issues with the equipment and welfare, it shouldn't result in such little progress!"
"Director Ji, you may not be aware, but this planet, although backward, is at the center of time-space chaos. Countless 'illegal regressors' choose to come here, so the situation is very complicated. There are numerous powerful individuals, and our bureau has suffered heavy casualties. We truly have the will but lack the capability."
Upon hearing Shi Zhengao's words, Zhuang Hong sneered, "Powerful individuals? It's just an excuse. No matter how powerful these regressors are, with your capabilities, it should be more than enough. Unless it's because Director Ji is turning a blind eye?"
Bang!
Ji Yang slammed the table, "Zhuang Hong! Do you believe I'll report you to the President?"
"Oh, now you're angry. Seems like you're feeling a bit guilty," Zhuang Hong taunted.
Shi Zhengao felt that an opportunity had arisen and respectfully said, "Sir, it's true. This planet has many powerful individuals. I'm not lying."
"Oh? Then give me an example," Zhuang Hong curiously asked.
"Voidless Realm, it's the most powerful force on this planet, and there are also regressors within. But I can only watch from the sidelines," Shi Zhengao seemed to want to shout out in frustration at his own powerlessness.
Zhuang Hong crossed his legs and smiled, "Director Ji, your subordinate is facing difficulties. How about lending a hand? We've been traveling together for months, and I've been so bored. Let's have some action. It'll also let you show off your might in front of your subordinates."
Ji Yang's chest heaved up and down. He really wanted to chop off Zhuang Hong's head so that the world could be peaceful.
Hearing these words, Shi Zhengao felt a sense of relief. If the two of them took action, they would definitely be able to overthrow the Voidless Realm.
As for why they wanted to eliminate the Voidless Realm, Shi Zhengao felt that the Voidless Realm's prestige was growing larger and even surpassing that of the Time-Space Bureau.
Previously, the three major powerhouses coexisted peacefully, and everyone seemed to be on an equal footing. However, the situation has changed now, and the Voidless Realm has gained overwhelming dominance. This is something Shi Zhengao doesn't want to see.
Therefore, he wants to use someone else's hand to overthrow the Voidless Realm, thereby solidifying his own position. It's actually a psychological need for stability because the Time-Space Bureau cannot afford to expose itself. But Shi Zhengao doesn't want to see others becoming powerful, as it would make him appear incapable.
"Have you said enough?" Ji Yang's voice sounded stern.
Zhuang Hong calmly took a sip of tea and said, "Director of the Time-Space Bureau, did I speak the truth just now?"
Shi Zhengao quickly shut his mouth. It's better to stay out of this battle. However, he secretly agreed with Zhuang Hong's words. He wanted them to take action, but he couldn't say it out loud.
How could Ji Yang possibly interfere in their affairs? But upon hearing Zhuang Hong's words, he felt especially displeased.
Moreover, he had been holding back his anger recently. Even if he didn't teach Zhuang Hong a lesson, he had to vent his frustration on someone!
"Alright! Zhuang Hong, you can go and warm up your hands!" A ruthless glint flashed in Ji Yang's eyes. It would be a pleasant surprise if Zhuang Hong met his demise in battle.
Thinking of this, Ji Yang seemed to have made up his mind. If he let Zhuang Hong go, he might end up speaking ill of him in front of the President. It would be better to eliminate him directly.
Moreover, it was Zhuang Hong who suggested it himself. In a battle, casualties were inevitable. When the time came, Ji Yang would make some arrangements, and Zhuang Hong would lose his life on this so-called mediocre planet!
"With me, Director Ji, taking action, all the problems are no longer problems. Isn't that right, Director?" Zhuang Hong chuckled softly, a hint of malicious intent hidden deep in his gaze.
It seemed that Zhuang Hong was not only here for supervision but also had other motives involved.
Ji Yang wanted to kill Zhuang Hong, and perhaps Zhuang Hong also wanted to kill Ji Yang. Maybe it was even an order from the President. Otherwise, why would Zhuang Hong keep provoking Ji Yang? There must be some conspiracy behind it...
Shi Zhengao couldn't figure out the intricacies of the situation, but as long as they were willing to go, he had no reason to worry. What else could he do?
"Of course, with Director Ji taking the lead, everyone else will have to step aside." Shi Zhengao flattered, giving up any thoughts of promotion.
Ji Yang's voice turned heavy as he asked, "What is this Voidless Realm?"
"The Voidless Realm is one of the three powerhouses on this planet, and it has a long history. Its leader is a woman, and her man is a regressor."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Hong burst into laughter. "Long history... do we have a long history?"
Shi Zhengao respectfully said, "Of course, we don't have a long history."
Ji Yang stood up and said in a low voice, "Then let's go and deal with this matter, let you stretch your muscles!"
"Let's go and stretch our muscles," Zhuang Hong stood up and shrugged his shoulders.
Shi Zhengao hurriedly said, "Director Ji, don't we need to understand the situation better?"
Before Ji Yang could speak, Zhuang Hong boldly said, "Understand the situation? Is it a dangerous place? Is it a one-way trip? Young man, you're overthinking. Look at the entire galaxy, who can..."
Zhuang Hong froze before he could finish his sentence.
Ji Yang sneered, "Who can?"
Zhuang Hong's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly remembered that day...
It was the day of national humiliation when an individual suppressed the entire Canglie Star. They were powerless to fight back, and even the President was forced to kneel before the opponent.
It was such a disgrace, as if their dignity was thrown on the ground and brutally trampled upon.
Shi Zhengao looked at the reactions of the two and was also puzzled. What was happening?
Their expressions seemed to carry fear and unwillingness...
"Lead the way," Ji Yang said calmly.
If he knew that their target this time was that man again, his expression would probably be quite spectacular.
