"Then... I won't disturb your rest any longer."

After saying this, and after Old Master Tang nodded, Inspector Tang got up and left the study.

Watching his second son leave, Old Tang picked up the landline on the table with a blank expression and dialed a number.

The communication was established the next second.

Old Tang said expressionlessly, "Check the second son's call records and see if Fei called."

"Yes!"

"Check the current situation of the New Territories Exploration Department again."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Old Tang gave a soft hum, then picked up his teacup and took another sip...

Meanwhile, after leaving his father's house, Inspector Tang immediately began calling his elder brother.

Unlike when he was talking to his father, Tang Jiancha was much more relaxed when chatting with his elder brother.

He cut to the chase and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Tang Jiye, Old Tang, and Tang Feifei share some similarities in personality. They are all the type who rarely smile and are rather cold.

Therefore, upon hearing Inspector Tang's words, he coldly replied, "I'm here reviewing the equipment applications submitted by the New Territories City Exploration Department this quarter."

“I plan to approve some for them. This will make it easier for Feifei to carry out her work.”

Hearing his elder brother's words, Inspector Tang snorted, "Brother, you should just give up!"

"I'm afraid that if you feed Feifei so much food, your son-in-law will die from overeating!"

"Son-in-law?" Tang Jiye on the other end of the phone frowned slightly and asked, "What son-in-law?"

Seeing that he had attracted his elder brother's attention, Tang Jianjian told him the whole story.

In closing, he even gave his own evaluation.

He said, "I've met Qiu Tu before. How should I put it..."

"Very capable and resourceful. But... not a good match."

Inspector Tang said with a solemn expression, "He's a top-performing individual who rose from the bottom of the unplanned development zone. He's as hard as iron, devoid of blood and tears."

"Such a person is ruthless. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals and are insatiable."

"This incident also demonstrates this."

"To bring him into her team, Fei used the resources of our 'Fengtian Clique' to reserve a deputy director position for him."

"Even if he made great contributions in the process of Fei becoming the regional leader, we should be satisfied for now."

"Once I've settled into the position of deputy director, I'll then look for a promotion."

"But... he encouraged Fei to blackmail her family into promoting him to vice speaker and then helping him get promoted another rank!"

"This is really too much! How much merit does he need to be not satisfied with being a deputy director, but also want to become the director!"

"Fei has really been brainwashed by him; she actually agreed to this kind of request!"

After listening to Inspector Tang's words, Tang Jiye frowned deeply.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I understand. I will keep that in mind."

"I'll ask my father for his opinion when he calls me."

He said, "But Fifi is right. Now her value is unique."

"Even if she's a little willful, we can only accept it."

"So... I tried my best to persuade my father to agree to the deputy speaker's request."

"We'll discuss this further later, and see what really happened between Qiu Tu and her, and whether Qiu Tu really used some methods..."

The two brothers chatted for a couple more minutes before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Jiye stared blankly at the desk in front of him. After a moment, he picked up the landline and made a call. "Retrieve the information on Qiu Tu, the deputy director of the New Territories City Investigation Department. All of it..."

.......

Silent all night.

That night.

Late at night, Qiu Tu was summoned to the villa by Tang Feifei, where he got a close-up look at the power of a fourth-tier Cataclysmic Being.

Faced with Tang Feifei's rapidly increasing strength, Qiu Tu was aroused.

Then, drawing on his past life's gaming experience, he started with a grappling hook, inflicting a stun, then unleashed a powerful attack!

A smooth combo! And then... he was successfully sent away by Tang Feifei.

The fourth-tier Cataclysm is still strong. Even though Qiu Tu, relying on the pseudo-status of "Regional Lord," is expected to reach the peak of the third tier, he is still no match for him.

And so, their passionate lovemaking continued until the next morning, after which the two fell into a deep sleep. They didn't wake up until the afternoon.

After washing up and having afternoon tea, the two went to work at the Investigation Department one after the other.

As a result, upon arriving at the Investigation Department, Qiu Tu received an unfamiliar message.

"Inspector '9527,' I'm waiting for you at Fuxing Teahouse. I have some crucial intelligence that might interest you—information about Director Tang's promotion to Vice Speaker..."

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu, who had just sat down in the deputy director's office on the 12th floor, was suddenly stunned.

9527 Inspection?

Intelligence regarding Tang Feifei's promotion to vice speaker?

The only person who would know this about Tang Feifei's identity and also have information about her promotion to vice speaker is clearly Dai Yukang, the director of the Dongye Prefecture Security Bureau.

But... he went back to the New Territories? And he wants to see me?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's eyes flickered slightly...

In the past, in the New Territories, only two and a half people could put pressure on him and make him feel uneasy.

One is Yan Chen, and the other is half Jia Shu. The third is Dai Yukang...

Although he had little contact with Dai Yukang, Qiu Tu was subtly at a disadvantage in their few encounters.

This is also a ruthless and cunning king who rose from the bottom, skilled at manipulating people's hearts and using others' strength against them.

Although Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei's deal was done discreetly, who knows what he might have figured out, and now he might be planning something else...

But... it involves Tang Feifei's promotion to vice speaker.

It's likely a shelter, or there have been some results or changes in the state.

Qiu Tu needs to understand this...

-------

Two chapters, 10,000 words each! Requesting monthly votes!

Chapter 377 Guests from the Tang Family! (10,000 words, please vote!)

Therefore, Qiu Tu absolutely has to attend this meeting.

With that in mind, he didn't hesitate at all and replied directly through the communicator: Okay.

After sending the message, Qiu Tu got up, called Tan Huimin and Shen Lingshuang, and went straight out of the office.

Now Tang Feifei is back at work. As the first area master of the Eighth Shelter, the only fourth-tier Cataclysm among the council members, and with her exaggerated identity and background...

Everyone knew she was destined to stand on the highest stage in Dongye Prefecture.

Even if everything goes smoothly, she will definitely have a place in the highest council of the shelter.

This status set her far apart from other high-ranking officials in the Investigation Bureau, so any middle-level manager with a bit of ambition would definitely try to build a good relationship with her and demonstrate their abilities.

Even if they belong to different factions, just like how Wang, the "reformist," supported Li Tingdong, the "liberal and democratic" faction, to become the vice speaker.

There is not only competition between the factions in the shelter, but also cooperation and appreciation.

Sometimes, a single word or opinion from such a powerful figure can be enough to change the fate of those below them.

Therefore, as soon as Tang Feifei arrived at work in the afternoon, her office was bustling with activity, filled with people who wanted to report.

As for the offices of Qiu Tu and Yu Zhengyi, they were deserted.

This actually makes it easier for Qiu Tu to move around freely.

With that in mind, he took Tan Huimin and Shen Lingshuang into the elevator and went downstairs.

Once in the car, Tan Huimin drove, while Qiu Tu and Shen Lingshuang sat in the back.

Qiu Tu habitually placed his hand on Shen Lingshuang's delicate legs and gently stroked them.

Shen Lingshuang blushed slightly, then glared at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu did not respond.

She glared again!

Qiu Tu still didn't respond.

She glared again!

Qiu Tu's hand slid down her leg and reached into her pants!

Shen Lingshuang was startled and quickly reached out to stop Qiu Tu's mischievous hand.

Qiu Tu finally reacted this time. He winked at Shen Lingshuang with a half-smile.

Shen Lingshuang flashed her two cute little tiger teeth in a fierce yet adorable way! Perhaps afraid that Tan Huimin, who was driving, would notice their little interaction, she mouthed a rebuke to Qiu Tu, "That's too much!"

Qiu Tu smiled and then stopped teasing the little girl.

He closed his eyes, leaned back in the seat, and gently stroked Shen Lingshuang's leg as he had at the beginning, then asked, "Have you found all the evil god's clones?"

Hearing Qiu Tu talking about serious matters, Shen Ling Shuang stopped joking. She said seriously, "They've all been found. And their identities have been confirmed and they're under surveillance."

"Two avatars of the evil god were infiltrated: Evil Moon and Whale Shark."

In just one week, she has become increasingly professional.

But the childishness on her face and her cute voice made her report seem to lack something.

She analyzed in a cute way, "When these evil gods look for a vessel to possess, they look for a vessel that is similar to their own body."

"Xie Yue's true form is that of a child, so the object he possessed was Deputy Director Wu's son."

"The whale was a strong man, and the person it possessed was a captain in the Third Battalion of the military."

"Minister Guan's intelligence network is indeed very powerful, so he keenly discovered their anomaly and, after several rounds of investigation, confirmed their identities."

At this point, a rare expression of admiration appeared on Shen Lingshuang's face.

Clearly, she has learned a lot from Guan Xiao these past two days.

Otherwise, given her proud and arrogant personality, she definitely wouldn't praise her competitor.

Upon hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly.

Guan Xiao's ability to find two evil god clones from among millions of people in the New Territories City in just one week, as if searching for a needle in a haystack, has already proven his extraordinary capabilities.

Such talented people are here to repay their superiors' kindness.

With her around, Qiu Tu trusted her with a lot of things. The only thing he needed to be careful about was her loyalty.

As long as her loyalty is not in question, then the entire political department system will be fine.

As for [loyalty]... don't forget that Qiu Tu has a loyalty game.

The ability to clearly quantify the loyalty of his subordinates is the core reason why he has been able to develop and expand his system so quickly during this period.

Therefore, he only needs to pay attention to Guan Xiao's changes in loyalty in the "loyalty" game from time to time to control this talent.

Of course, in return, Qiu Tu would also give her a bright future.

Thinking about the loyalty game, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall his gains over this period of time.

During this time, he salvaged a few more pieces of Cataclysm material through the "Salvage Game" and is now idle.

So he looked at Shen Lingshuang beside him and said, "By the way, I'll give you some catastrophe materials tonight."
