Let them offer their loyalty!

Ever since his promotion to Head of the Political Department, and his strength rose to the Second Order Peak, followed by a further strengthening of his body, Qiu Tu had yet to spar with Tang Feifei.

It was only after this bout that Qiu Tu realized he finally seemed to be able to exchange blows with Tang Feifei on equal footing.

Tang Feifei also seemed to realize this, and in her surprise, she became even more ferocious, acting as though she truly wanted to treat tonight's bout as a rehearsal for the future!

Eventually, after sparring for half the night and reaching another peak together, Tang Feifei bit Qiu Tu's shoulder and then said fiercely, "I won't let you have it!"

Feeling the tender passion inside her, Qiu Tu gently stroked her back and whispered, "Mm, I won't either..."

...

There was silence through the night.

The next day, when Qiu Tu got up, Tang Feifei was already not in the bedroom.

Getting up, Qiu Tu saw a set of white men's practice outfits on the nightstand.

Clearly... it was the first gift Tang Feifei mentioned last night.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu smiled, got dressed, and walked out.

Once outside, Tang Feifei was there doing her morning exercises.

Seeing Qiu Tu, Tang Feifei's expression was ice-cold, devoid of any smile.

She threw a "hidden weapon" at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu caught it and discovered it was a booklet with martial techniques recorded inside.

The name on the booklet was "Battle Step," apparently a footwork technique.

Tang Feifei said indifferently, "Go back and take a good look, study it. Come find me in three days, and I'll guide you."

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu touched his waist and then asked, "This guidance… is it serious?"

Tang Feifei:.....

Ignoring Qiu Tu, Tang Feifei wiped off her sweat and walked straight past him, heading for breakfast.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu wasn't upset, but instead followed her cheerfully to freeload a meal.

After breakfast, of course, the two of them couldn't leave together, so Qiu Tu left first, riding in Tan Huimin's car towards the Investigation Bureau....

However, he didn't know that after he left,

Tang Feifei watched the door with a complex gaze for a while.

Ultimately, Tang Feifei let out a deep sigh. Then she picked up a communicator and made a call to the Sanctuary.

Once the call connected, Tang Feifei said expressionlessly, "Second Uncle, Qiu Tu he... "

Tang Feifei paused for a full two seconds before she finally closed her eyes and said, "He agreed."

"So clear the Vice Director position for him, keep it open for him."

"Don't worry, with his help, and with so many researchers and experts at home, I will definitely be able to gain control of the territory..."

After chatting a bit more,

Tang Feifei hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

Her eyes were deep and sharp, filled with determination.

So what if she must gain control of the Xinjie Territory alone?

She could do it by herself!

As long as she could gain control of the Xinjie Territory, her lies would not be exposed.

...

Meanwhile.

Qiu Tu was unaware that Tang Feifei had deceived her family for him.

At this moment, he was sitting in the back of the car, resting with his eyes closed, heading towards the Investigation Bureau.

He didn't take the front passenger seat today because... Tang Feifei had been a bit too draining the night before, and he was in a cooling-off period.

Possibly sensing Qiu Tu's exhaustion, Tan Huimin glanced at him several times through the rearview mirror before finally speaking cautiously, "Director... Yesterday's death of Vice Director Lai seems to have alarmed the state."

"Chairman Liu headed straight for Xinjie City early this morning."

"Judging by the time, he should be arriving soon."

Startled by Tan Huimin's words, Qiu Tu suddenly opened his eyes and said with a bit of surprise, "So fast?"

After speaking, Qiu Tu felt something was not quite right, "Who told you this news?"
