"Moreover, I suspect that the case is very special and may involve the safety of an entire city."
"Using the secret line is justified in light of a major event."
At that point, Fang Ze paused before adding, "This is also to help you confirm whether the city under your jurisdiction has genuinely encountered trouble."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Jiang Cheng gazed at him intently, as if trying to ascertain whether he was lying.
After a moment, he spoke expressionlessly, "Whether or not the safety of a city is affected is not for you to judge. Since the Governing Hall of the lower-level city has not taken the initiative to contact me via the secret line first, it indicates that the situation isn't that critical."
"So... you should go back."
Seeing Jiang Cheng repeatedly refuse, Fang Ze's patience began to wane. He looked directly into Jiang Cheng's eyes and said, "What if I go back, then?"
Jiang Cheng regarded Fang Ze, his face gradually showing anger.
