Then let them offer their loyalty!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu picked up the communicator, preparing to make a call to Master Qin.

To his surprise, before he could even make a call, Fourth Master Qin called first.

Looking at Qin Siye's number on his communicator, Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment before finally answering the phone.

As soon as the call connected, Fourth Master Qin's voice came through, clearly agitated and as if suppressing anger, "Qiu Tu! I want to discuss a business deal with you!"

"A deal?" Qiu Tu asked, glancing at the rearview mirror. "What kind of deal?"

Master Qin said viciously, "I've realized that you're not a good business partner at all!"

"You are treacherous and cunning, and you enjoy betraying people! Cooperating with you means you might sell you out one day and still be counting the money for you!"

"Luckily, despite all your careful planning, you still overlooked one thing!"

"You're only thinking about taking advantage of the chaos to rescue your lover, Qin Shuman, but you've forgotten that even if you do, she'll be in my hands too!"

"I'm telling you! Release my wife and children right now! Or I'll kill Qin Shuman!"

Upon hearing Qin Siye's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment.

Then he laughed...

"Fourth Master, you've misunderstood. Qin Shuman is not my lover."

"At most, we were just two lonely souls having a deep conversation late at night."

"Children of chaotic times...have only bodies, no feelings whatsoever."

"You can't threaten me with her."

Master Qin roared, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"You really think you can hide your affair with Qin Shuman from me?!"

"If you had no feelings for her, would you still remember to ask me to save her in this situation?"

You're kidding me!

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu burst into laughter.

"Fourth Master, you've really misunderstood. I asked you to save her for only two reasons."

"First, it's a legitimate way for you to attack and kill the agents, cutting off your escape route."

"Secondly, it will make you offend Yan Chen. You kidnapped his mistress; do you think, given his personality, he will let you off?"

"As for Qin Shuman, kill her if you want."

"Anyway, she's no longer of any use to me."

Hearing Qiu Tu's frank words, Master Qin was visibly taken aback. His conviction wavered slightly.

Just then, Qiu Tu said again, "But Fourth Master, I really didn't expect that you would still have ulterior motives even at a time like this."

"It seems... I've been too lenient with you."

He paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Choose one of your two children. Which one will you keep?"

Master Qin was stunned for a moment, then became hysterical, "Qiu Tu, you dare threaten me?! Do you believe I'll kill Qin Shuman right now?!"

Qiu Tu laughed, "Fine. Then I'll kill your eldest son."

After saying that, he slammed the phone down.

As soon as he hung up, his phone rang again less than a second later.

Qiu Tu glanced at it and saw it was Master Qin.

hang up.

Master Qin hit him again.

Qiu Tu hanged up again.

Master Qin hits again.

This time, Qiu Tu finally answered the call.

Master Qin's tone finally softened, and he said with a fawning smile, "Detective Qiu, look at you, I was just joking with you, why did you take it so seriously?"

Qiu Tu smiled. "Fourth Master truly lives up to his reputation as a gang leader; he knows how to bend and stretch. But get to the point quickly, I still need to assign tasks to my men..."

After saying that, he began the countdown without any hesitation, "5."

Master Qin was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Qiu Tu continued, "4."

Master Qin hurriedly called out, "Qiu Tu! Qiu Tu!"

Qiu Tu, "3."

Master Qin said in a panic, "Money! All the money my wife and children have on them is yours! All of it is yours!"

Qiu Tu was amused. "Fourth Master, you certainly know how to use someone else's flowers to present to Buddha."

"Your wife and children are already in my hands, and the money and property deeds you carry with you naturally belong to me as well. Do you need to give them to you?"

Master Qin quickly explained, "If you take this money directly, it will always be something that can't be brought to light."

“I can write an employment authorization document, stamp it, and put my fingerprint on it. This will prove that I have authorized you to do this work, and that this money is payment.”

"Such documents are legally binding at the city hall. Wouldn't that launder the money?"

Qiu Tu was clearly tempted upon hearing this. He hesitated for two seconds before smiling and saying, "Fourth Master, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

After saying that, he added, "However... I have one more condition."

Master Qin, "What are the conditions?"

Qiu Tu said with a smile, "Now take out your knife and stab Qin Shuman!"

Master Qin was stunned. "What?"

Qiu Tu shouted back, "I'll teach you to stab Qin Shuman!"

He explained, "Although I don't know why you misunderstood my relationship with her."

"But I don't want to give it to you, nor do I want to give it to her... any illusions whatsoever."

"As for where to stab me, that's up to you."

"Her life or death is in your hands."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Master Qin on the other end of the communicator slowly turned his head, looking at Qin Shuman sitting beside him with her hands and feet bound in disbelief...

Qin Shuman seemed to have overheard their conversation. Leaning against the car door, she looked out at the rushing scenery and said calmly, "I told you long ago that I'm not important to him, but you didn't believe me."

Qiu Tu's urging voice came through the communicator.

Master Qin smirked, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and stabbed Qin Shuman hard in the shoulder!

"Thud!" The dagger plunged straight into Qin Shuman's shoulder blade.

Qin Shuman groaned, her beautiful face contorted with pain.

With a gloomy face, Master Qin released his grip and then said to Qiu Tu on the other end of the communicator, "Qiu Tu, I have completed your mission."

Qiu Tu's approving voice came from the other end of the communicator, "Well done."

"Next, continue as planned and go to the Milan Hotel. Security personnel will meet you there."

"As for your wife and children... as long as you cooperate, I will guarantee their safety."

"So, Fourth Master, stop thinking up any crooked ideas..."

After saying that, Qiu Tu hung up the phone.

Listening to the "beep...beep..." sound from the receiver, Master Qin's expression shifted between light and dark.

After a moment, he turned to look at Qin Shuman, whose face was pale with pain, and said through gritted teeth, "I've been in the underworld for so many years, I still have a good eye for people."

"He truly doesn't care whether you live or die."

Qin Shuman leaned against the car door, her face deathly pale with pain, but without a trace of expression...

......

At this moment, Qiu Tu, who had just hung up the call, threw the communicator onto the passenger seat and cursed, "What kind of class do you have, trying to play tricks on me!"

Master Qin's biggest mistake was that he truly underestimated Qin Shuman's position in Qiu Tu's heart.

Qiu Tu does indeed have a "deep" relationship with Qin Shuman, and he will indeed choose to help Qin Shuman whenever possible. But... the premise is that no one can stand in Qiu Tu's way.

His experience from two lifetimes taught him that in chaotic times, a man can have many women in his body, but he cannot have women in his heart, or... at least not on the surface.

Because... that would be the most fatal weakness.

.....

After making all the calls, Qiu Tu began to focus on driving.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the Investigation Department building.

As soon as he got out of the car, a political agent in a black uniform ran up to him.

The detective opened the door for Qiu Tu and, after Qiu Tu got out of the car, saluted him, saying, "Hello, sir. The minister asked me to pick you up here!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and asked, "Oh? Where is the minister?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the detective respectfully replied, "The minister is waiting for you upstairs."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu looked up at the Investigation Bureau building.

In a daze, he seemed to see a pair of deep eyes watching him...

He smiled.

This is not bad news.

Since... Jia Shu is still investigating the police station building, it means that the Political Department has not officially intervened in this matter, which means... the Security Department will have ample time to eliminate any traces.

He, Artest, and the Hawks are therefore safer...

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu calculated the time and roughly guessed what was going on.

The old alleyway, the Qin family residence, and the city garden form a triangle.

The Investigation Bureau building is located in the middle of this triangle.

Therefore, when Qiu Tu arrived at the Investigation Bureau, Qin Heng should still be on his way back and had not yet reached the Qin family.

Qin Heng would not seek help from the Investigation Bureau until he had a clear understanding of the whole story and its severity.

That's why I arrived at the Investigation Bureau building first, while Jia Shu hadn't left yet.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but make a further guess: So... Jia Shu called and locked himself up the moment he learned that the Qin family was in trouble?

Qiu Tu's eyes flickered.

Heh... See? That's a true master. A seemingly effortless move, yet it played a crucial role, almost disrupting his own plans.

It's important to understand that the effects of personally executing a plan versus remotely directing it are vastly different.

If Qiu Tu hadn't made prior contact with the security department and tricked them into cleaning up his mess; if Qiu Tu hadn't taken control of Master Qin's wife and children beforehand and prevented Master Qin from turning against him with just one phone call; he, who had to handle everything personally, would have already been defeated by this one tactic.

So... the biggest danger tonight really is here...

It seems it's time to meet this legendary superior.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu straightened his clothes and then walked up to the Investigation Bureau building with a smile on his face.

At night, the investigation building is dark and gaping, like a giant beast ready to devour its prey.

After taking the elevator to the 9th floor, Qiu Tu, guided by the detective, arrived at Jia Shu's office in the political department.

"Dong dong dong."

"Please come in."

Upon hearing Jia Shu's approval, the detective opened the door and led Qiu Tu into the office.
