The man still looked especially solemn, as if he had nothing more to say to Zhou Hao. After coldly assigning Zhou Hao the mission, he turned around and quickly left.

Originally, Zhou Hao was prepared to ask him about something, but now, he was simply speechless.

This was because before he could react, the other party had already left. It also seemed like the other party was unwilling to communicate with him. After assigning the mission, he turned around and quickly left, not giving Zhou Hao a chance to speak.

Zhou Hao’s eyes were filled with helplessness. Helpless, he could only go and carry out the second mission.

There was not much information this time. The City Lord of Garden City was Zhang Bufan, and Zhou Hao had also heard of this person’s name before.

It was said that as the City Lord, he was loved, respected, and had won the respect of many people. In recent years, the citizens had even elected him as the new City Lord.

The more Zhou Hao thought of this, the more he felt a cold aura begin to emit from his entire body.

If such a person was only pretending to be good on the surface and actually colluded with the mutated beasts behind the scenes, who knew how many people would be heartbroken if they found out.

After all, he was supposed to be a servant of the people. If people found out that he was actually serving the mutated beasts, it would really disappoint them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hao’s expression suddenly turned ugly. He suppressed the anger on his face and immediately went online to investigate this Zhang Bufan.

However, he did not find any useful information on the Internet. Thus, Zhou Hao still decided to make a trip to personally investigate.

Soon, Zhou Hao arrived at Garden City.

‘As soon as he walked in, he saw an incomparably flourishing scene in Garden City.

Zhou Hao walked in front of a stall owner and could not help but ask around.

“Hello, how do I get to the City Lord Hall?”

The shopkeeper looked up at Zhou Hao and smiled as he pointed at a street in the distance. “Follow them and you’ll be able to reach the City Lord Hall.”

Zhou Hao’s expression instantly froze as he looked in the direction the shopkeeper was pointing at in confusion.

In the distance, there was a sea of people everywhere. Moreover, all of them looked incomparably anxious. It was unknown what they were going to do.

Seeing this, Zhou Hao could not help but ask curiously, “Brother, what are these people planning to do?”

“Could they be protesters?”

Zhou Hao had never seen a protest in real life. He only ever saw people gathering at the City Lord Hall and causing trouble on television.

However, he did not expect to see this scene with his own eyes today. It seemed that the matter of Zhang Bufan colluding with the mutated beasts had already been confirmed, right?

Unexpectedly, after the shopkeeper heard Zhou Hao’s words, his expression suddenly became complicated.

He could not help but frown as he sized up Zhou Hao. Then, he chuckled and shook his head. “You’re definitely not from our Garden City, right?”

“Uh…”

Zhou Hao did not expect to be seen through so quickly. Helpless, he could only nod and agree.

“Yeah, I came here to find my friend. He lives here. I don’t come here often, so I don’t know much about what’s going on here.”

Zhou Hao smiled and said politely. His words were especially natural. He did not panic at all and seemed to be especially calm.

‘When the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded and chuckled. “Heh heh, I knew it. That’s not surprising.”

“Today is our City Lord’s birthday. The citizens have all spontaneously gone to the City Lord Hall to congratulate City Lord Zhang!”

This short sentence instantly stunned Zhou Hao.

He looked at the shopkeeper in surprise and could not help but ask hesitantly, “Congratulate him? Is this City Lord so loved and respected by the public?”

“Hehe, that’s right.”

Ahint of emotion appeared on the shopkeeper’s face.

He could not help but speak slowly and sigh. “If not for the City Lord, we would not have been able to live so comfortably in Garden City.”

“All of this is because of our City Lord’s strength. That’s why he could make the citizens of the Garden City prosper.”

Zhou Hao had a puzzled expression and did not dare to believe the shopkeeper’s one-sided story. Then, he immediately went to another place and asked others.

However, no matter who Zhou Hao asked, they would all praise Zhang Bufan and not say anything bad.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hao could not help but wonder if there had been a mistake.

If Zhang Bufan was really so considerate of his citizens, then he would naturally be a good official. How could someone like him possibly collude with mutated beasts to benefit himself?

He must have actually done good things to help his citizens. Otherwise, this group of people would not love and respect Zhang Bufan so much.

It seemed that he could not obtain any useful information from the citizens of the Garden City.

He could only personally meet this Zhang Bufan and find out what he had done to provoke such a disaster.

Zhou Hao followed the crowd and arrived at the entrance of the City Lord Hall. There, he simply saw a sea of people.

On the city tower of the city hall stood a middle-aged man. He wore glasses and was slightly fat. He was smiling as he greeted his citizens.

Beside him stood two guards who were looking down the stage vigilantly.

Just by looking at this person, Zhou Hao could tell that he indeed did not seem to be that kind of person. However, one could not judge a book by its cover.

The brat from before had taught Zhou Hao a lesson. This time, he had to be more cautious.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hao secretly mixed into the crowd. When no one was paying attention, he directly infiltrated the City Lord Hall.

The security in the huge city hall was rather strict. Zhou Hao spent a lot of effort before arriving at the office door.

He sneaked into Zhang Bufan’s office and directly went into the closet.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he heard a light click outside the door.

Someone seemed to have entered.

Zhou Hao immediately held his breath and quietly listened to the sounds coming from the room.

First, there were a series of footsteps, and then Zhang Bufan sat down in a chair and sighed heavily.

“City Lord, Mr. Sun will be here soon. He said that he has something important to discuss with you.”

The voice sounded like it belonged to Zhang Bufan’s assistant.

Zhang Bufan’s voice was filled with fatigue as he agreed, “Alright, since he’s here, let him come to my office directly. Don’t let the people outside see hit
