Then let them offer their loyalty!

And...who is the controller of the Boundless Sea of ​​Mind region?

Qiu Tu didn't know if others might get there first.

But he still holds the trump card of Lariro. Who could understand better than this evil god how to become the controller of a region?

Qiu Tu thought it was impossible!

Therefore... Qiu Tu believes that even if humanity were to give birth to a controller of the boundless sea of ​​the mind, it would definitely be him!

So, he figured he'd go back tonight and try to trick Lariel again, hoping to get some information out of her...

After completing all the analysis and planning, Qiu Tu returned to the lounge and took a shower.

Tan Huimin was awakened by the sound of the shower water while taking a shower.

She dragged her tired body into the bathroom and began to tenderly wash Qiu Tu.

However, she didn't realize that her actions would only reignite the war.

So before long, the two of them were soaking in the water, and things "naturally progressed," "in a logical and reasonable manner," and "they were completely unable to extricate themselves."

Perhaps out of gratitude for Qiu Tu's help in getting revenge on Zheng Tao these past two days, Tan Huimin reciprocated Qiu Tu's kindness tenfold...

To be honest, Qiu Tu wasn't immune to madness. He was even crazier when he was learning martial arts with Tang Feifei. But... that was because they were both Cataclysmic Beings, with superior physical abilities that allowed them to act recklessly.

Tan Huimin is now an ordinary person. But she acts just like Tang Feifei, as if she has no regard for her life.

Even... at times, Qiu Tu felt that she wished she could just die like that...

Clearly, although learning the truth transformed her love for Zheng Tao into hatred, the pain this event caused her remained unresolved.

Qiu Tu didn't know how to persuade her, so he could only lead by example and try his best to cooperate with her without hurting her.

And so, after once again leaving Tan Huimin with a full load, Qiu Tu finally satisfied her completely....

Because the appointment hasn't been finalized yet, even though everyone in the department now knows that Qiu Tu has not only returned to the Political Department, but has also become the "king" of the Political Department, Qiu Tu is still just a deputy director of a low-level department.

And just like that, a day quickly passed.

Perhaps because the "Boundless Heart Sea Summoning" incident was just too significant.

Therefore, the shelter's expert team arrived in the New Territories that afternoon.

Accompanying the expert team was Zhou Jingfu, Deputy Director of the Personnel Department of the Exploration Agency.

This key figure from the "Fengtian Clique" is clearly there to support Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei.

Therefore, although Yan Chen followed regulations by arranging for people to prepare and set up the large conference room, and also distributing the notices, he didn't show much enthusiasm...

But whether he was enthusiastic or not, everything was already destined.

So... 7 PM.

The largest conference room is on the 11th floor of the Exploration Department.

All the mid-level and senior management of the Investigation Department gathered here.

Although this meeting was of a high level, the Bureau of Investigation and Exploration was too large to handle.

Therefore, by using the deputy section chief of the Investigation Department and the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau as a starting point, three to four hundred people still gathered.

Four or five hundred people gathered in the hall, looking up at the nine people on the stage: eight high-ranking officials and Zhou Jingfu, deputy minister of the Personnel Department of the General Administration of Customs.

Among them, Qiu Tu was the one they looked at the most.

Even though they already knew everything yesterday, they still felt like they were in a different world when they saw that Chiu Tu had actually become the Minister of Political Affairs.

After all, Qiu Tu was only removed from his position as vice minister two days ago...

At the meeting, Zhou Jingfu briefly praised several senior officials from the New Territories City, and then focused on reading Qiu Tu's resume.

Finally, on behalf of the shelter, he conveyed the new appointment to Qiu Tu.

Because the shelter had not received Qiu Tu's application for a change of position before he arrived, Qiu Tu's original position was still "Deputy Minister of the Political Department" when the appointment was announced.

This not only made the middle and upper-class attendees below look strange, but it also slapped Yan Chen in the face once again...

However, Yan Chen seemed to have made all the preparations beforehand. He sat calmly in the center of the stage, his wrinkled face expressionless.

It's like you didn't slap his face.

Even though all the middle and upper management in the room were secretly glancing at him or observing him out of the corner of their eyes, his expression remained unchanged....

After presenting the award, Zhou Jingfu patted Qiu Tu on the shoulder and even encouraged him with a smile in front of all the middle and senior managers present.

This enthusiasm, which went beyond the usual boundaries between superiors and subordinates, made the expressions of the middle and upper management present even more strange.

But that's not all.

The middle-level managers present might not know Zhou Jingfu's faction, but the higher-ups certainly did—the Fengtian faction, the faction to which Tang Feifei's family belonged.

Therefore, when they saw Zhou Jingfu being so enthusiastic towards Qiu Tu, they assumed that Zhou Jingfu was only doing it because of Tang Feifei.

As a result... when Zhou Jingfu finished his task and was leaving, he was only slightly more enthusiastic towards Tang Feifei than towards the others...

This immediately shocked all the high-ranking officials who knew the inside story.

What's going on? Why are the bigwigs of the Fengtian faction more enthusiastic towards Qiu Tu than towards Tang Feifei?

Wasn't the reason they promoted Qiu Tu because of Tang Feifei?

Could Qiu Tu have another identity?

With these questions lingering in mind, the internal meeting began and ended in an equally simple manner.

However, although the meeting was simple, its impact was enormous.

Everyone knows that a powerful and lawless figure has officially ascended to the core of the Investigation Bureau!

No one knows how profound an impact he will have on the investigation department...

No one knows how much he will change the Investigation Department, or even the political landscape of the New Territories...

As everyone knows... a storm is brewing. Perhaps the landscape of the New Territories is truly about to change!

The signal for this change of regime came so quickly that no one expected it.

As the meeting ended and several senior executives got up to see Zhou Jingfu off at the door, Qiu Tu gave Tan Huimin, who was sitting in the secretary area, a wink.

The two had already become mentally connected over the past two days, so after receiving Qiu Tu's hint, Tan Huimin immediately nodded and got up to go to the political department area.

Facing Vice Ministers Cai Peiyuan and Zhang Jian, and several section chiefs and deputy section chiefs including Guan Xiao, she spoke in a clear and efficient voice that could be heard by everyone, "Vice Minister Cai, Vice Minister Zhang, and all section chiefs, Minister Qiu will be listening to reports from each department separately tomorrow morning and will be making preliminary adjustments."

"Please be prepared, adjust your schedules accordingly, and wait for my updates."

Upon hearing Tan Huimin's words, Cai Peiyuan and Zhang Jian's faces darkened.

Both of them were originally expected to succeed Jia Shu as the new Minister of Political Affairs.

Therefore, both sides were mentally prepared for the position of minister, while maintaining a certain degree of courtesy and relationship with each other.

They had planned everything perfectly. It seemed like things couldn't possibly go any further.

Who knew! Qiu Tu suddenly interfered and snatched the minister's position away.

This change caught them off guard and left them feeling uneasy.

However, considering the attitude of the important figure from the General Administration of Sport towards Qiu Tu;

Thinking of Qiu Tu's ability to turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist, and to slap Yan Chen's face as easily as slapping a woman's buttocks;

Even if they were unwilling, they could only suppress their resentment for the time being. So, under the watchful eyes of all the senior executives present, they nodded with burning faces.

They all complied, not to mention the other section chiefs and deputy section chiefs. They all nodded or responded.

However, judging from their solemn expressions, they were clearly somewhat uneasy.

Just then, a fair hand suddenly rose up.

Along with that hand, Guan Xiao's lazy voice rang in everyone's ears, "Only tomorrow morning?"

"I...can I report to Minister Qiu tonight?"

-------

Still 2 chapters, 1 words each! Requesting monthly votes mid-month!

Chapter 298 Capturing Larilu (10,000 words, please vote!)

After Guan Xiao spoke, the scene fell silent.

The section chiefs in the political department dared not show any change in expression, while Cai Peiyuan and Zhang Jian looked helpless.

Zhang Jian wanted to scold Guan Xiao and tell her to stop messing around, but when he remembered Guan Xiao's usual witch-like behavior and her background, he slowly closed his mouth.

As for the middle and senior management of the surrounding departments, upon hearing Guan Xiao's lewd words, they all curiously peeked over.

Upon seeing that it was Guan Xiao, they all immediately shrank back.

A lecherous old man lingered on Guan Xiao's hot body for a few moments, but was noticed by his companion.

His companion quickly tugged at him and whispered, "Are you out of your mind? That's Guan Xiao."

Upon hearing his companion's reminder, the old lecher quickly averted his gaze, then lowered his head, pretending nothing had happened.

Tan Huimin took in everyone's reactions.

But she... after all, was just a newly trained secretary in the administrative department, and didn't know Guan Xiao well.

So, while secretly taking the situation into account, she said gently to Guan Xiao, "Section Chief, I will report your suggestion to the Minister in a moment."

"But I'm not sure if he'll agree."

Before she could finish speaking, Guan Xiao extended her right index and middle fingers and probed into her deep "I"-shaped cleavage.

The next second, she pulled out a card that smelled of her body.

She smiled sweetly, brought the card to her lips, and kissed it deeply.

A bright red lipstick mark appeared on the card that bore the name, job title, and contact number.

The lip print was as red as blood, as fiery as fire. It seemed capable of burning everything.

"Here you go~" Guan Xiao held the card between two fingers and presented it to Tan Huimin.

Tan Huimin paused noticeably for a moment. But in the end, she still reached out and took the card, which still carried Guan Xiao's warmth...

......

After Zhou Jingfu left, the meeting came to an end.

Because Secretary Bai was still being held in the Political Department's detention room, Yu Zhengyi adjourned the meeting on Secretary Bai's behalf.

Several senior executives walked out, and their secretaries followed.

When Tan Huimin came to his side, Qiu Tu asked, "Have you confessed everything?"

Tan Huimin gave a gentle "hmm," then took out Guan Xiao's card and said, "This is from Section Chief Guan."

She asked if you were free tonight. She wanted to give you an update tonight.

"Section Chief Guan?" As Qiu Tu murmured this name, the image of a stunning beauty appeared before his eyes.

Some women are beautiful, some women have great figures, but... none of them can be called stunning beauties.

Because a stunning woman has one key quality: she's alluring...

The word "seductive" here is not used in a derogatory sense. Rather, it refers to the fact that her every move can captivate a man's heart, and even a small gesture can make his heart race.

Guan Xiao is such a woman.

If Guan Xiao were merely a beautiful woman, Qiu Tu might not have paid her any special attention. But Guan Xiao possessed other qualities as well.

She is the niece of Guan Weihua, the head of the Public Security Bureau, and a prized protégé of Jia Shu, the former Minister of the Political Department. A powerful woman who single-handedly built the Political Department's spy network.

No one knows how many people she has planted spies among, or how much dirt she has on them.

Therefore, she is both alluring and dangerous, attracting men while making them afraid to provoke her.

After recalling the woman's information, Qiu Tu turned around and looked at Guan Xiao in the political department's meeting area.

At that moment, a section chief from another department was having an awkward conversation with Guan Xiao.

"Section Chief Guan, I keep dreaming about you these past few days. I..."

Before the section chief could finish speaking, Guan Xiao feigned surprise and said, "Oh, is that so? That's terrible. How about... I find a master to exorcise the evil spirits for you?"
