Let them offer their loyalty!

"In the event that Yan Chen is unable to preside over the situation, as long as he, the Deputy Director of Administration, stands on our side, or refrains from expressing any opinions and just leaves it to Lai Shun, I can still keep things under control,"

When Tang Feifei spoke these words, her tone carried no emotion, still remarkably cold. But Qiu Tu could still hear the imperious dominance in between the lines.

Clearly, Tang Feifei, who had been lying low under Yan Chen for over a year, had finally revealed her fangs under Qiu Tu's instigation.

With Yan Chen present, Xinjie City Investigation Bureau was almost like a solid plate; but with Yan Chen absent, even Secretary Bai, Jia Shu, were all unable to manage the situation, other senior officials were merely chunks of fat under Tang Feifei's sharp teeth!

'Time, the crux of everything is time!'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei meticulously analyzed the current situation of the senior management in Xinjie City following Yan Chen's advancement and Secretary Bai's arrest by Qiu Tu. After discussing who they could draw over to their side and who they had to suppress, they ended the call.

After three consecutive phone calls, the anxiety Qiu Tu had felt due to Yan Chen's advancement had almost entirely subsided.

What replaced it was an overwhelming surge of ambition!

Yan Chen, who had always been prudent and steady, was like a turtle shell, with no weaknesses to exploit. But now that Yan Chen had become greedy, taking a risky shot at competing for the role of Deputy Speaker, even though the chances of success were high, he had exposed flaws because of it.

If that were the case, then don't blame Qiu Tu for focusing on those flaws and turning the tables against the wind!

With this in mind, Qiu Tu had his confidants bring over a chair, and while he admired the light rain outside the window and waited with his communicator for Director Liu to contact him, he began to plan further....

...

Meanwhile,

While Qiu Tu was busy making arrangements due to Yan Chen's advancement,

The Xinjie City Investigation Bureau was also in a bit of chaos at that moment.

Of course, the chaos was not due to Yan Chen, but rather the death of Huang Shangzong's confidant Wu Zhi.

On the 12th floor, inside Yu Zhengyi's private office,

Yu Zhengyi sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, Commissioner Wang sat opposite him, while two senior deputy ministers of the Political Department, Cai Peiyuan and Zhang Jian, sat next to Yu Zhengyi.

In the middle of the office lay the corpse of Wu Zhi, as the four men looked solemnly at the Political Department investigators and directors busy around the body.

Under these circumstances, Ji Chen could only stand off to the side with his hands down, not even entitled to a seat.

Soon, the results of the reexamination of the body came out. The head of the forensic department approached the four men to report the results.

"Director Yu, Commissioner Wang, Minister Cai, Minister Zhang, after our examination, we have confirmed that the cause of death for Advisor Wu was a bullet that penetrated his skull,"

"And that bullet, we have already matched with all models and confirmed it to be a type privately manufactured by the Anti-Government Armed Alliance,"

"As for the bloodstains at the scene, due to the washout from the rain and the chaotic situation at that time, we were unable to find them,"

"Combining the descriptions of Commissioner Wang, Director Ji, and those present, we have roughly identified the perpetrator as the wanted criminal 'Lone Wolf'."

After listening to the chief of the forensic department's report, before Yu Zhengyi could speak, Commissioner Wang could barely hold back his impatience.

He glanced at Yu Zhengyi and then said with a troubled expression, "Director Yu, right now it truly seems like everything's coming together at once."

"We were initially planning to seek advice from Director Yan, but who knew that at this very moment, Director Yan would advance to become a Fourth-order Cataclysmic and be temporarily unable to emerge from his seclusion,"

"But we can't keep suppressing the matter of Advisor Wu's death. We must give Chairman Huang an explanation as soon as possible,"

"What do you think... who should take charge of this matter?"

His words said "take charge," but in essence, he was asking who would "take responsibility." So for a moment, Yu Zhengyi's face also looked rather unpleasant...
