Then let them offer their loyalty!

After entering, Liu Fuping complained to Qiu Tu in an annoyed tone, "Are you a rabbit? Why do you wander around everywhere? You just randomly picked an empty meeting room and crawled in."

"It took me ages to find it."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu leaned against the window, crossed his arms, and teased, "Doesn't Sister Liu know whether I like to wander around or not?"

As he spoke, Qiu Tu's gaze fell on Liu Fuping's luscious red lips.

Liu Fuping's face flushed red instantly.

In that instant, she seemed to recall Qiu Tu's scent from not long ago...

She gave Qiu Tu a coquettish glare, then said, "Don't talk nonsense. We're talking about serious business."

"The minister wants to see you."

Upon hearing Liu Fuping's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, and then his body involuntarily tensed up.

As expected... what was bound to happen has happened...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but take a deep breath and then probe Jia Shu's current situation.

He asked, "How is the minister's mood today?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping rested her left hand on her right elbow, touched her chin with her right hand, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It seems... I can't tell."

"When I saw him, he had just returned to the department from outside. When he saw me, he called out to me and asked if he had seen you."

"I can't lie, so I can only say that I saw him."

"Then, he told me to call you to his office."

After recounting the whole incident, Liu Fuping glanced at Qiu Tu with amusement and asked with a smile, "I never thought that even a lawless commander would have moments of worry."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu glared at her and said, "This isn't called worrying; this is called knowing yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

After saying that, he said, "Alright, lead the way."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fuping pursed her lips, then turned around with a gloating expression, swaying her slender waist and leading Qiu Tu toward Jia Shu's office with great charm.

Walking down the street, Qiu Tu looked at Liu Fuping's swaying hips as she walked in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then... slapped her hard.

A crisp "snap!" sounded.

Liu Fuping was startled and cried out "Ouch!" before covering her bottom and running to the side.

She looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to the two of them, cursed in embarrassment and anger, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

"Be careful not to get seen doing this in the hallway!"

Qiu Tu said nonchalantly, "So what if they saw it? The man is unmarried, and the woman is... widowed. What does it matter if there's a bit of ambiguity?"

Qiu Tu's words were harsh, and Liu Fuping glared at him reproachfully, then opened her mouth as if to exchange a few blows with him.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she paused as if she had thought of something, then suddenly changed her tone and said, "Sir, look at you. You're always acting like this."

"If you really can't take it anymore, you can come to my place. I'll definitely help you relax then~~"

"After all, this is also considered assisting the superior's work."

Hearing Liu Fuping's ambiguous words, Qiu Tu laughed, "I'm afraid I won't relax, but rather be drained dry."

"Let's lead the way quickly, Sister Liu."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's comment about speeding, Liu Fuping pouted in embarrassment and continued leading the way.

While leading the way, Liu Fuping was also secretly analyzing Qiu Tu's psychology behind his constant rejections of her.

She felt that Qiu Tu was definitely just being stubborn.

These past few days, Qiu Tu has been strategizing, resolving issues, and outwitting so many big shots in the New Territories. He must be under a lot of pressure and desperately needs to vent.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have just asked her to serve him with his mouth, and now he's teasing her.

Having studied under Qiu Tu for so long, Liu Fuping had long understood a principle: the best way to "control" a target is to figure out what they truly want...

Once this is understood, it's possible to very effectively guide his emotions and influence his mindset, thereby... gradually winning him over...

Now Qiu Tu wants some kind of release... so I should continue to intensify my guidance, like igniting a volcano about to explode, constantly tempting him!

Of course... in order to better "control" him, I must withdraw when the time comes and not actually let him have it.

With this alternating approach of relaxation and tension, I should be able to successfully win over my superior!

Hmm... If Qiu Tu could hear Liu Fuping's inner thoughts, he would definitely admire her learning ability and comprehension.

Liu Fuping was right: the desire to control a person is the most powerful weapon.

But the problem is... you have to pinpoint that person's desires.

Like Qiu Tu, she completely misanalyzed the situation.

Qiu Tu made Liu Fuping kneel down as a punishment, to teach her to be careful in her actions in front of him, or she would easily lose everything.

As for... Qiu Tu patting Liu Fuping's butt just now, it was because he was summoning a [Cataclysmic Creature]...

In last night's "salvage game," Qiu Tu assigned his subordinate to be: A-Kun.

And this time, Ah Kun finally did not disappoint Qiu Tu again, successfully retrieving a reward that Qiu Tu had never seen before: a catastrophic creature.

Qiu Tu was quite surprised when he received the award.

Surprisingly, this "salvage game" can actually yield catastrophic creatures!

So he checked out the information about the new reward.

Cataclysmic Creature: Silver Key Hive

"Biographies: This is a low-level cataclysmic creature born from the boundless sea of ​​the mind. Its form is similar to a six-limbed insect—a bee—but its size is about the size of a grain of rice."

"Its body is covered with a shell that shimmers with the luster of deep-sea emeralds and is covered with intricate geometric runes that help it travel between the 'material world' and the 'boundless sea of ​​the mind'."

"Each Silver Key Bee has three compound eyes, each consisting of about 5000 small eyes, which can directly monitor and record what happens in the real world in the 'Boundless Mind Sea'."

"When you bring the silver key bee eggs into contact with an object, the silver key bees will begin to hatch and record what happens around that object over 36 hours."

"Once the recording is complete, it will fly back to the hive. Just crush it, and you can view the 36 hours of video information recorded inside it."

Note: Each Silver Key Beehive is only the size of a thumb and can hold a maximum of 8 Silver Key Bees. The birth and existence of each Silver Key Bee requires a certain amount of resources.

After reading the introduction of this catastrophic creature, Qiu Tu suddenly gained a much better understanding of the biodiversity of this world.

After transmigrating, he stayed in the New Territories City and never went out to the vast world or explored the boundless sea of ​​his heart.

Therefore, he only learned about the uniqueness of this world and the horror of the catastrophic creatures from the few words Qin Shuman and Jia Shu exchanged.

He had always thought that catastrophic creatures were like the "villains" in anime, whose goal was to destroy the entire world. But now it seems... not all catastrophic creatures are disasters.

...Some catastrophic creatures also seem to possess various amazing abilities, which, if used properly, can bring a lot of help to humanity.

As Qiu Tu reminisced, the "rice grain" stuck to Liu Fuping's buttocks slowly cracked open in his vision.

A tiny, bee-like insect, so small that it's hard to see even if you look closely, spreads its two pairs of wings and then vanishes without a trace with a single flap.

Qiu Tu looked around to make sure he couldn't see the Silver Key Bee anymore before slowly withdrawing his gaze—he guessed that the Silver Key Bee had likely already traveled into the Boundless Sea of ​​Mind, monitoring and recording Liu Fuping's every move in the spiritual world...

'We'll see what Liu Fuping has done in the past day and a half the day after tomorrow.'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu slowly pulled himself out of his thoughts.

His use of the "Silver Key Bee" on Liu Fuping was merely a spur-of-the-moment idea. His true targets were Yan Chen, Jia Shu, and Wang Xi...

However, just as he always planned carefully before doing anything, he would always test it out before using such a sensitive method to see if there were any drawbacks or if it would be discovered.

That's why he tried it on Liu Fuping first.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu, led by Liu Fuping, arrived at the door of Jia Shu's office.

After knocking on the office door, Liu Fuping opened it and reported to Jia Shu, "Minister! Section Chief Qiu has arrived!"

Jia Shu gave a forced smile and said "thank you," then instructed, "You go ahead and get busy. I need to have a private chat with Section Chief Qiu."

"Yes!" Liu Fuping saluted Jia Shu and then walked out of the office.

As she brushed past Qiu Tu, Liu Fuping slightly curled her right little finger and gently rubbed it against Qiu Tu's palm.

At that moment, Qiu Tu felt a jolt of electricity travel from his palm to his waist, a tingling sensation.

This woman... she's so good at it!

While silently remarking to himself, Qiu Tu subtly withdrew his hand and lightly rubbed it on his pants: it wasn't that he disliked Liu Fuping. He was... genuinely itchy.

Itching is much harder to bear than pain; it's simply unbearable.

After Liu Fuping left, Qiu Tu closed the door behind him and then looked at Jia Shu.

For some reason, Jia Shu looked a bit tired today, which made his smile seem even more fake.

But Qiu Tu did not let his guard down because of this. He tried his best to keep his brain in peak working condition and dared not relax for a moment.

He gave Jia Shu a respectful salute, "Minister!"

Then wait for Jia Shu to make his move.

But Jia Shu didn't play by the rules.

He first adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, then looked at Qiu Tu with a fake smile, "Qiu Tu, I have a temporary case to give you."

As he spoke, he picked up a document from the table and gestured to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes, Minister!"

As he spoke, he took two steps forward and took the document from Jia Shu's hand.

Upon receiving the document, Qiu Tu's gaze naturally fell upon its title.

Then... he was stunned for a moment, because it turned out to be a "Request for Assistance in Investigation" from the Public Security Bureau.

A "Request for Assistance" is an application made between different departments within the Investigation Bureau when encountering a difficult case, in order to improve the efficiency of the investigation and speed up the process of solving the case.

Generally, such applications are submitted by weaker departments to stronger departments. The stronger department then sends its elite personnel to the weaker department to form an investigation team to conduct the investigation.

However... New Territories City is still in its early stages, and all departments are quite busy. In addition, in chaotic times, no one cares about the crime-solving rate, and each department is only concerned with its own business. Therefore, such applications are extremely rare.

This also means that whenever such an application is seen, one knows that a major case must have occurred.

With that in mind, Qiu Tu carefully read through the case details in the documents.

After reading it, Qiu Tu looked up in a daze, with only one thought in his mind: This is too damn coincidental!

The case for which this "Request for Assistance" document requests assistance is... the "pharmacy robbery" that occurred just over a month ago.

The pharmacy robbery caused quite a stir recently. The robbers not only stole medicine and medicinal herbs worth hundreds of silver dollars, but also brutally murdered 16 people, including two full-time detectives and six temporary detectives...

As a result, the Detective Agency received severe criticism from the Municipal Council. The Public Security Bureau also received a serious disciplinary action and was required to solve the case within a specified time.

However, a month and a half has passed, and there has been no progress on the case. It seems... the Public Security Bureau is truly unable to solve the case and is under too much pressure, so they've come to the Political Department for help!

But... none of these are the coincidences that Qiu Tu finds strange.

He found it coincidental that... the police department didn't know who the murderer was! But he did!

That was done by his subordinate, Wang Xi, who held multiple positions and worked hard even after get off work hours!

Even... Qiu Tu "personally" participated in the actions of Wang Xi and the masked man in the suit.

So... now that I've finally gotten rid of my boss, am I starting to deal with my subordinates?

Thinking about it this way, Qiu Tu felt a little surprised.

However... ever since he discovered Wang Xi and the masked man's brutality last night, he had been planning to deal with them, so now he could conveniently claim some credit for it!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu looked up at Jia Shu and considered accepting the case.

As a result, just as he looked up and met Jia Shu's gaze, Jia Shu suddenly spoke.

"Qiu Tu, do you know the list of spies our intelligence agency has within the military?"

To be honest, Jia Shu was indeed a master interrogator. He asked the questions precisely when Qiu Tu was in a mental lapse.

Therefore, Qiu Tu almost reflexively had to answer this question.
