Let them offer their loyalty!

So when Qiu Tu picked up the phone, he didn't even bother with small talk and directly blurted out all the information on Yan Chen to Liu Xiongyuan.

And when he heard that Yan Chen wanted to advance to a Fourth-order Cataclysmic and then compete for the Deputy Speaker position, the little old man really exploded with curses,

"Goddamn it, that son of a bitch Yan Chen, I knew he wasn't holding in any good farts!"

"After that bastard Huang Shangzong got me kicked out, that motherfucker just wants to pick peaches! Doesn't he even piss to see if he's fucking worthy!"

"If it weren't for the fact that he contributed to the Human Race, I'd have gone up there and sorted him out myself!"

Qiu Tu:.....

Although last time he called, Liu Xiongyuan's speech was laced with three swear words per sentence, Qiu Tu was still impressed upon hearing that majestic litany of curses.

No wonder... Eastern City's Municipal Committee is always at each other's throats. Even the most even-tempered person would want to start a fight after being cursed out by Liu Xiongyuan every day.

Just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Liu Xiongyuan continued, "Also, rest assured. Since you've told me about this, I definitely won't sit idly by."

"Your plan to delay things is good, but it's not big enough."

"Just preventing him from becoming Deputy Speaker, that's fucking letting him off too easy!"

"You wait till I come over today, I'll have a good chat with you, and we'll plan something big!"

"Forget Deputy Speaker, I'll fucking make sure he can't even become a council member!"

Qiu Tu:??

Honestly, at that moment, Qiu Tu felt strangely uneasy: by pulling this raging tempest, Liu Xiongyuan, into this game, was it the right or wrong move...?

God damn, I hope this doesn't blow up too much to handle!

And as Qiu Tu thought this, Liu Xiongyuan, as carelessly as ever, said, "By the way, haven't you joined a faction since you entered the Investigation Bureau?"

Upon hearing Liu Xiongyuan's words, Qiu Tu paused, asking, "We have factions within the Investigation Bureau?"

The old man laughed scornfully, "Where there are people, there's Jianghu; where there are officials, there are factions!"

"You still doubt this?"

"No wonder you've been bullied by that bastard Yan Chen and the old turtle Huang Shangzong! You're fighting alone; who else would they bully if not you!"

After speaking, he paused, then added, "Since you avenged Little Kai and now you've told me such important information, I will definitely not let you down."

"Don't worry, I'll introduce you to a big shot tonight after I come over!"

"As long as you gain his approval, forget Yan Chen; even that old turtle Huang Shangzong won't be worth a damn to you!"

Qiu Tu:....

What could Qiu Tu say? He could only awkwardly chuckle and respond, "Thank you, Director Liu. I'll wait for you tonight."

Liu Xiongyuan laughed "haha" twice, and then said, "Alright, see you tonight! Then we'll discuss together how to deal with that son of a bitch Yan Chen and that old turtle Huang Shangzong!"

After saying this, Liu Xiongyuan didn't even wait for Qiu Tu to say goodbye before he hung up the phone, obviously in a rush.

Hearing the "beep...beep..." from the receiver, Qiu Tu shook his head slightly.

After this second call with Liu Xiongyuan, Qiu Tu felt he was starting to understand the old man's true temperament.

Despite the old man's foul language and carefree appearance, he was actually thoughtful and had depth.

That rough talk was just a facade, not only allowing him to be underestimated but also enabling him to control the pace of the conversation forcefully.

— Like just now, Qiu Tu couldn't even get a word in edgewise, and Liu Xiongyuan had steered the conversation and made decisions on his behalf in just a few sentences.

Moreover... just as Qiu Tu informed Liu Xiongyuan about Yan Chen's promotion to Fourth-order Cataclysmic as "intelligence" and earned a favor, was Liu Xiongyuan's introduction of Qiu Tu to his backer really just repaying a favor?

Qiu Tu thought not.

Considering the Sanctuary's big shot was willing to take Liu Xiongyuan under his wing, that big shot probably appreciated people like Liu Xiongyuan and Qiu Tu, who were of humble origins but had extraordinary abilities.

So, introducing Qiu Tu to that big shot, for Liu Xiongyuan, was not only costless but could even earn him favor in the eyes of that big shot.

As for the big shot's power...

Honestly, Qiu Tu believed the big shot's status must be high, but probably only similar to Huang Shangzong's, or maybe just slightly higher.

If it were really like what Liu Xiongyuan said, that aligning with that big shot would allow him to walk sidewise, then Liu Xiongyuan wouldn't have been vetoed by Huang Shangzong for the Deputy Speaker's seat.

Of course, even so, that big shot was likely the highest-ranking person Qiu Tu could contact at the moment, and perhaps a little help from him could change all of Qiu Tu's current circumstances...

'Indeed... they are all millennia-old foxes. These tricks come one after another....'

'I still have much to learn....'

Feeling this way, Qiu Tu couldn't help but start to look forward to the meeting with Liu Xiongyuan and the big shot from the Sanctuary tonight....

Moreover....

Apart from meeting these two important individuals tonight, Qiu Tu also had another important matter to attend to.

That was to try and make contact with the Evil God Girl Lara.

Although currently Lara seemed to be completely controlled by Yan Chen and was being Devoured by him, soon to become fuel for Yan Chen's advancement,

Qiu Tu always felt... with Lara's cunning, things couldn't end so simply.

Or perhaps... even if Lara really took a nasty blow from Yan Chen, she must still have one or two aces up her sleeve to prolong her life forcefully.

So, Qiu Tu thought if he could contact Lara, maybe he could gain an unexpected windfall?

Moreover, honestly, Qiu Tu was really curious to know what kind of state and mood the Heretic Goddess Girl would be in after knowing she had been schemed against by Yan Chen....
