Then let them offer their loyalty!

At this point, even Ellie, who was usually clueless, realized what was happening!

How could it be such a coincidence that something went wrong the moment I took it over for inspection? This is clearly a setup to sabotage me!

only.....

'How dare he!'

'Letting the evil god go! Isn't he afraid of getting blamed too?'

.......

Meanwhile, at the military headquarters, in the camp, atop the watchtower.

Lin Chuan, Lin Ting, and Yu Zhengyi witnessed the entire incident!

As catastrophic beings, their vision is naturally far superior to that of ordinary people.

So although they couldn't see what was inside the black box, they clearly saw the scene of the black box falling to the ground and Larilu running away.

In that instant, their eyes changed drastically, their faces filled with disbelief!

An evil god?!

The black box contained an evil god?! And it fell to the ground and shattered! The evil god escaped!

How dare Qiu Tu!

Oh no, this is a really big deal!

Thinking this, the three of them looked at each other and saw the lingering fear in each other's eyes.

Then... they slunk down the watchtower and went their separate ways.

Although from a distance it's clear that Larilu is just a remnant soul, the group might be able to capture her now.

but!

This is a huge mess. Even if the three of them go to help and manage to bring Lariro back, it will only be a minor achievement at best.

But... what if we don't catch them!

That would leave you covered in filth!

People are inherently self-interested; who would be willing to gamble their own future for someone else?

They're not like Ellie, that gambler!

not to mention....

Qiu Tu even dared to use the trap of letting the evil god go; who knows if luring the three of them there might be a new trap?!

Therefore, taking everything into consideration, they naturally chose to protect themselves...

And so, with the three of them giving up on helping, Lariro's aura completely disappeared.

By this time, Ellie had completely lost her mind.

She glared at Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng, who were searching everywhere for La Riluo, her eyes bloodshot, and said through gritted teeth, "You actually framed me!"

Cao Dabiao, Ding Xiaoliu, and the others were stunned when they heard her words.

They looked at Ellie in disbelief and said, "Sir, you were the one who came to inspect, and you were the one who failed to catch us. How can you frame us?"

Seeing the genuine expressions on their faces, Ellie was slightly taken aback, and then felt even more like cursing!

How ruthless! So ruthless! To lure me in, they even schemed against the future of their closest confidant!

But Ellie must have some skills to be appointed as the head of Huang Shangzong's office.

She quickly forced herself to calm down, then searched for the key to breaking the deadlock.

After a moment, she turned her eyes slightly, then looked at the four of them and said, "Don't bother looking. That evil god has probably run far away by now."

"Now... the evil god has escaped. As the person who directly caused her escape, I certainly cannot escape responsibility."

"But...you escorts will also be held jointly liable."

As she spoke, she glanced at the people present and said, "That's an evil god. Even if it's joint responsibility, punishment, a lifetime ban from promotion, or suspension are all possible."

"I don't care. My parents have given me a legacy. But what about you?"

"Your futures are ruined. Don't you want to try again?"

Upon hearing Ellie's words, Cao Dabiao, Ding Xiaoliu, and Lao Ying exchanged glances.

Finally, Cao Dabiao asked first, "Sir, do you have a solution?"

His face was covered in cold sweat and extremely pale, clearly showing that he was genuinely afraid, not acting.

Seeing his reaction, Ellie felt a little relieved, and then tentatively asked, "Of course there's a way. It just depends on whether you guys will cooperate."

"Let me ask you, when your deputy director Qiu Tu was ordering you to escort the evil god, did he give you any strange instructions or hints?"

"No." Meanwhile... on the 12th floor of the Investigation Department, Qiu Tu, who was working overtime on official business, looked up at Su Xiaowan standing in front of him and said, "How could I possibly give them a hint?"

After Tang Feifei was promoted to vice speaker, her cooperation with Qin Shuman came to an end.

After all, as the deputy speaker, her vision will no longer be limited to the New Territories.

Qin Shuman, the head of the New Territories City Security Department, was no longer of much value to her.

Therefore, Su Xiaowan's mission as the "middleman" has come to an end.

However, Tang Feifei was not the kind of person who would discard someone after they had served their purpose, so after becoming the vice speaker, she specifically promoted Su Xiaowan to section chief.

He also chose a low-paying job for Su Xiaowan, so she could slack off and still get paid.

After Qiu Tu took control of the Investigation Bureau, he made a slight adjustment to Su Xiaowan's job, moving her to the Administrative Office to continue being a mascot.

When Qiu Tu and Qin Shuman are unable to contact or communicate, you can act as their liaison.

Today, because of this inconvenience in communication and contact—La Riluo has escaped—the higher-ups will definitely send someone to investigate.

At that time, they will definitely check the frequency and duration of Qiu Tu and Qin Shuman's contact over the past two days.

In order to avoid leaving any evidence, the two drugged Su Xiaowan and had Qin Shuman control her body to communicate with Qiu Tu.

Hearing Qiu Tu's denial, Qin Shuman frowned slightly and said with some worry, "I know that not giving them any hints or making any arrangements is because I'm worried that they might be interrogated when the investigation team comes to investigate in the future."

"But... you didn't tell them anything beforehand, which is practically like selling them out and pushing them into a fire pit."

"You trust them that much?"

"Aren't you afraid that once they find out they've been betrayed, they'll become desperate and try to frame you instead?"

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu smiled and shook his head, "I'm not afraid. I understand them."

Qin Shuman said, "You're gambling with human nature, gambling with their loyalty to you."

Qiu Tu did not deny it upon hearing this.

He said, "I am indeed betting on their loyalty to me."

Unfortunately... I can see the answer...

Qiu Tu did not say the second half of the sentence.

The loyalty of Cao Dabiao, Chen Feng, Lao Ying, and Ding Xiaoliu flashed through his mind.

Of the four, Ding Xiaoliu, who has the lowest loyalty, still has 89 points. Lao Ying, who has the highest, even reaches 97 points.

The reason Qiu Tu chose them was that he believed they would not betray him.

I believe they believe in me just as much as I believe in them!

Only in this way can Qiu Tu's next big plan be flawless!

At that moment, just as Qiu Tu was thinking this...

Suddenly, the communicator he had placed on the table started ringing.

Qiu Tu picked up the communicator, which displayed the name "Cao Dabiao".

Qiu Tu smiled and showed it to Qin Shuman, then answered the phone.

The next second, Cao Dabiao's rapid-fire voice came through the phone, "Chief. Something's happened!"

"We were transporting the 'evil god' to the Security Department as you ordered, when we encountered an inspection by a female director from the Third Department of the Attendants' Office."

"The female section chief accidentally shattered the 'Soul Shackles,' allowing the 'Evil God' to escape."

"That female section chief even tried to frame you, attempting to induce us to confess that you deliberately let the 'evil god' go."

"We're at a stalemate with them right now. Please come and handle this."

After listening to Cao Dabiao's words, Qiu Tu said a few simple words and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he stood up with a smile, put on his black coat, and said to Qin Shuman, "See? What did I say?"

"I believe in their loyalty."

After saying that, Qiu Tu said, "Director Yu Die, you live close to the scene of the incident, so please go and handle it first."

"I'll be there shortly."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman rolled her eyes at him and then sat down on the sofa.

The next second, Su Xiaowan's body slowly slumped onto the sofa.

Qiu Tu glanced at her, then strode out of the office to deal with this "emergency"!

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Soon, explosive news spread throughout the middle and upper management of the New Territories!

Qiu Tu had actually captured La Ri Luo half a month ago! Then he reached a cooperation agreement with the security department, and temporarily took charge of guarding and interrogating La Ri Luo.

Afterwards, through interrogating Lariluo, he found the key to becoming the regional lord and helped Tang Feifei become the regional lord!

After that, Qiu Tu delivered La Riluo to the security department as agreed!

But... on the way, Lariel escaped!

Two chapters, 10,000 words each, please vote with monthly tickets!

Chapter 400 Huang Shangzong's Defenses Have Broken (10,000 words, seeking monthly votes)

This news immediately shocked the upper and middle classes of the entire New Territories.

Who is the most popular high-ranking official in the New Territories during this period?

Of course, it's Tang Feifei who, in a short period of time, defeated Yan Chen, took control of the New Territories City Investigation Department, and then became the regional leader, a fourth-order Cataclysm, and was promoted to vice speaker.

Tang Feifei's meteoric rise, coupled with her powerful background, made everyone realize that she was destined to be one of the highest-ranking members of the entire shelter.

Even if you don't benefit much from working with such a person for a period of time, it will still be enough to become a topic of conversation in the future.

As for Qiu Tu, who also rose through the ranks quickly and gradually gained control of the Investigation Bureau, he appeared somewhat overshadowed by Tang Feifei during this period.

In addition... many people believe that Qiu Tu's rapid promotion was due to becoming Tang Feifei's lover.

This led to the widely circulated rumor: it wasn't because Qiu Tu was exceptionally capable, but rather... whoever is Tang Feifei's man will become "Qiu Tu".

Because Qiu Tu has recently been trying to keep a low profile, he has been happy to see such comments, which has made the senior management of the New Territories City even more convinced that Qiu Tu was promoted because of Tang Feifei.

Besides Tang Feifei, the most popular executive, La Riluo was also a topic of conversation among the executives during this period.

After all, as the regional leaders of the New Territories, the middle and upper management of the New Territories City are quite familiar with La Ri Luo.

They also paid attention to Lariro's later demise.

Later, when they learned that after La Riro's death, she had managed to escape to the New Territories with a sliver of consciousness, many middle and upper-level officials were actually eager to try their luck.

An evil god! And one whose consciousness has been partially retained and can be controlled!

Once we get our hands on it, we might reap huge benefits!

However, the middle and senior management tried various methods to search, but all to no avail....

This made them wonder if Larilu's remaining soul had shattered and she had completely perished...

Now that this news has come out, everyone is shocked!

what?
