Let them offer their loyalty!

Qiu Tu wasn't exactly even-tempered; he just couldn't be bothered to quibble with "dead people."

He clearly remembered the first thing he learned when he entered the Political Department: in the Political Department, there were never any miscarriages of justice.

So, what's the point in arguing with people who have no future?...

After driving out of Emerald Fort, with a group of suspects already sent back, Cao Dabiao and Ah-Kun were already waiting outside in the police T-model cars.

When they saw Qiu Tu come out, they all went up to him.

Qiu Tu stopped the car and let Cao Dabiao and Ah-Kun take Section Chief Kong and the others to the T-model cars, leaving only Bai Ru in his own vehicle.

This clearly led to a misunderstanding among his confidants, like Cao Dabiao and Ah-Kun.

Cao Dabiao glanced at Bai Ru twice, chuckled craftily, and moved closer to Qiu Tu to ask in a low voice, "Chief, are all the beauties from Emerald Fort of such high quality?"

"This woman may look just above average, but that temperament of hers... tsk tsk."

Hearing Cao Dabiao's words, Qiu Tu tilted his head towards Bai Ru in the car and indifferently stated, "She is one of the suspects, the wife of Qian Dafu, Section Chief Bai from City Hall, her father is the Deputy Director of the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Cao Dabiao was initially stunned, then hurriedly put away his playful expression, looking rather embarrassed.

Although there are slight differences in the hierarchy, the positions within the three major institutions were still interchangeable.

Moreover, being part of the Sanctuary meant that, unless an official's status was revoked, subordinates could not make such jokes with their superiors, even if they were suspects.

Seeing Cao Dabiao taken down a peg, a malicious smile appeared on Qiu Tu's face.

Say what you will, although Cao Dabiao was greedy, lecherous, timid, and averse to trouble, after spending time together, you'd find he is quite amusing.

And indeed, teams often need such a lubricant.

That's why Qiu Tu actually enjoyed teasing him from time to time, just to see him in an awkward spot.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu instructed Cao Dabiao and the others to escort the prisoners in the police T-model cars, while he followed behind in his vehicle with Bai Ru.

He got into the car and started it.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Bai Ru fell silent for two seconds before asking, "Why didn't you let me go in that car too?"

"Is it because you want to interrogate me alone?"

"Or is it because I'm a woman, and it's not very convenient to sit with them in the same car?"

Qiu Tu didn't answer her question and instead, while driving, commanded, "Spread your legs!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ru looked bewildered, but her conservative nature meant that faced with Qiu Tu's authoritative command, she involuntarily chose to comply: she spread her thin legs apart.

Thus, with his left hand on the steering wheel and his right hand on Bai Ru's thigh, Qiu Tu felt comfortable...

After all, when driving, hands should be where they belong. Otherwise, what's the point of driving!

Bai Ru:.....

Following behind the police T-model car, they drove all the way to the Investigation Bureau.

He stopped the car. Although no action had been announced, somehow, news had reached Liu Fuping from the Investigation Bureau, who was already waiting in the parking lot.

When Qiu Tu got out of the car, she swayed over.

Approaching Qiu Tu, she was about to say something with a smile on her face. But before she could speak, she saw Bai Ru coming down from the car, and she paused.

"Sister Liu has arrived?"

Seeing Liu Fuping, Qiu Tu casually greeted her, then said, "Good timing. This is Section Chief Bai, the wife of Qian Dafu. Could you take her to the guard room?"

Seeing Qiu Tu assigning her a task, although Liu Fuping wanted to stay and chat with him, she could only salute and respond, "Yes, chief."

After receiving the order, Liu Fuping walked towards Bai Ru, gesturing slightly with her hand, "Section Chief Bai, this way, please~"

According to the "Emotional Fraud Manual," for women with a "protective" mindset, change signifies "danger" and "discomfort"; they prefer a static, predictable life.

So, even though Qiu Tu had been taking advantage of her since they met, the moment she saw Liu Fuping, Bai Ru still pulled at the corner of Qiu Tu's uniform jacket in a plea for help.

Noticing her action, Qiu Tu was startled for a moment, then patted Bai Ru's hand with amusement in his eyes, soothingly saying, "Don't worry, Agent Liu is my person. She won't do anything to you."

Hearing this, Bai Ru finally relaxed and then also let go of the corner of Qiu Tu's jacket.

But after letting go, she realized belatedly: why should she trust the subordinates of Qiu Tu? If he himself is a big liar, wouldn't his subordinates just be small-time swindlers?

She must be very careful!

Thinking this, Bai Ru followed Liu Fuping towards the Investigation Bureau.

Along the way, Liu Fuping led Bai Ru forward while saying with a sympathetic face, "Section Chief Bai must have been wronged, right? Chief Qiu is... well..."

As if sensing Liu Fuping's "opinion" of Qiu Tu, Bai Ru froze for a moment, then looked up at Liu Fuping with puzzled astonishment, "Miss Liu, do you also have issues with Chief Qiu...?"

Glancing around, and seeing that no one had noticed, Liu Fuping whispered with a look of disgust, "What chief? He's just a pervert. Let me tell you, he often..."

"Ah? Really?"

"Yes. Why were you taken to the Political Department, Section Chief Bai? Qiu didn't take advantage of you on the way, did he?"

"I was taken because of my husband Qian Dafu... Of course, he took advantage of me."

"My God. He's such a beast! But what's up with your husband?"

"My husband, well, he..."

In this way, their conversation grew more engaged. Even though it was just a short few-minute walk from the parking lot to the Guard Room, Liu Fuping had already managed to extract all the information she found interesting.

She learned not only what happened today, the reasons why Bai Ru, Section Chief Kong and others were arrested, Bai Ru's family background, her marital relationship, but even the color of her underwear.

Um...black lace. A bit risqué.

After escorting Bai Ru into the Guard Room, Liu Fuping hummed a tune and swayed her hips cheerfully towards the Investigation Bureau, feeling rather good.

Just last night, she had merely audited a live lesson by Qiu Tu and felt like she'd gained a lot. Using what she learned on Bai Ru today turned out to work pretty well!

This made her look forward even more to Qiu Tu's teaching...

She felt that if she could learn from Qiu Tu a few more times, she might become a qualified spy and interrogation expert...

But the most important thing right now was to figure out exactly what Qiu Tu planned to do today and why he had caused such a stir.

This was the mission recently given to her by the forces behind her...

With that thought in mind, Liu Fuping quickly headed towards the Investigation Bureau...

[Liu Fuping Loyalty +8]

....

As Liu Fuping watched Bai Ru enter the Investigation Bureau building,

Qiu Tu rested in the car for a moment, then looked up at the overcast sky and also headed towards the Investigation Bureau building.

Taking the elevator, he reached the 9th floor, the Political Department.

The person he ran into was his superior, the head of the Interrogation Section, Zheng Tao.

Seeing Qiu Tu again, Zheng Tao's expression was noticeably complicated.

As a workaholic, of course, Saturday was a working day. Thus, he was one of the first to learn about Qiu Tu's big roundup today.

Upon learning that Qiu Tu had tricked some section chiefs of the City Hall into going to the Emerald Fort under the guise of leisure to deceive the enemy and then arrested all involved with a thunderous approach,

for the first time, he started to see his subordinate in a new light, thinking... maybe he's quite a talent!

So, upon seeing Qiu Tu, he even took the initiative to greet him and praised, "Chief Qiu, you've done a splendid job with this case."

Surprised at Zheng Tao's praise, Qiu Tu glanced at him and replied, "Section Chief, don't think you can replace a vacation with praise, huh."

"I'll definitely make up for today's overtime work next week."

Zheng Tao:.....

Such an incorrigible case!

After parting with Zheng Tao, Qiu Tu received many looks along the way similar to Zheng Tao's that were either "admiration," "envy," or "surprise."

Obviously, there are no secrets in a government department. The people Qiu Tu had arrested half an hour ago were already the talk of the entire Political Department.

However, Qiu Tu was not as optimistic as they were.

So, after briefly attending the "arrest report" back at the Investigation Bureau, Qiu Tu didn't go immediately to interrogate the criminals.

Instead...he went to the empty meeting room next door, took out his communicator, and waited quietly.

He was waiting for a phone call.

That call would determine the success or failure of everything he did tonight!

Today, I'll still update with 3 chapters at 10,000 characters. Here are 2 chapters at 7,000 words first.

As a member of the physically challenged writers' club, my writing speed is too slow, and there's still one chapter that I haven't managed to write. I will make it up when I get up in the morning; I will strive to publish it around 12 o'clock.
