Then let them offer their loyalty!

Immediately afterwards, the blue light narrowed, as if it had enveloped the air, and then directly "wrapped" it onto the altar.

Qiu Tu curiously picked up the altar that had bounced off the ground and examined it closely.

But whether something went wrong or "Huang Mei" simply vanished, Qiu Tu searched for a long time without finding any trace of "Huang Mei".

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's doubts, La Riluo stepped forward, examined him carefully, and then said, "Concentrate your spiritual power and sense it carefully."

"Although it's very slight, there is definitely something else in the altar."

Upon hearing La Riluo's words, Qiu Tu closed his eyes and focused his mental energy to try to sense the situation inside the altar.

Then, the next second, he suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if his mental energy had been reduced out of nowhere.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, La Riluo shuddered, and a wicked smile appeared on her face.

Clearly... she had just been bitten by the "Yellow Demon" with her mental energy, which confirmed that the "Yellow Demon" had been successfully captured.

But in order to let Qiu Tu experience the same hardship she had endured, she deliberately didn't tell him about it.

Qiu Tu had already gained a lot tonight, so he couldn't be bothered to argue with La Riluo about this little thing.

Anyway... I'll pay it all back with interest someday.

And so, the night passed quickly.

After bidding farewell to Lariluo, Qiu Tu allowed her to recuperate temporarily in the "Boundless Heart Sea - New Territories Area," while he himself returned to the real world.

Back in the real world, Qiu Tu glanced at the still "empty" soul altar and then placed it into the "dimensional space".

Afterwards, he wrote furiously, facing the rising sun, and produced a report....

After doing all this, Qiu Tu went to wash up and then went to bed...

Qiu Tu slept straight through until 2:30 in the afternoon.

After waking up, Qiu Tu belatedly remembered that after Liu Xiong Yuan announced the new senior management of the Investigation Bureau yesterday, he had asked Tan Hui Min to schedule a meeting with several of the senior executives for a small meeting today.

The appointed time was exactly 2:30 pm.

Looking at it now... does it seem like we're late?

With that in mind, Qiu Tu decided to stop rushing.

He washed up and then called Tan Huimin, asking her to fax the report he had written the night before to the shelter.

I finally went to the high-level conference room for a meeting...

......

at the same time.

In the high-rise conference room on the 12th floor.

The senior executives each sat in their respective seats.

The main seat belongs to Qiu Tu, so it's currently empty. To Qiu Tu's left and right are Ellie and Ji Qinglin, respectively.

The two individuals represent two major systems: action and management.

Below them are Guan Xiao, Lü Cheng, Shi Youxin, and Guan Weihua.

Qiu Tu had accumulated considerable prestige during this period, so even though the meeting time had passed, no one dared to utter a single complaint.

Several senior executives sat in their chairs, some reading documents, some drinking tea, and some resting with their eyes closed.

Only Ji Qinglin, after scrutinizing the group several times, had a different thought in his mind...

He coughed lightly, then assumed his role as the deputy director and said, "The director must have been held up by something. How about we have a brief chat first?"

Upon hearing his words, the expressions on the faces of the several officials varied.

However, Ji Qinglin ignored the expressions of the others and directly took control of the entire meeting.

He said, "The director called us here today simply to meet, get to know each other, and then look to the future."

"The New Territories City Investigation Department has undergone a major reshuffle recently, and we won't go into the reasons. But... both the shelters and Tung Yip Chau are keeping an eye on us."

"We just want to see if our new leadership can achieve something."

"So, I think the director called us over to talk about this matter."

"So, everyone can think in advance about whether there's anything that can produce political achievements in a short period of time?"

Ji Qinglin's words were actually quite fair. So after he finished speaking, all the senior executives nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Ji Qinglin added, "I actually have some ideas that can help our investigation department achieve some results in two or three months."

"Perfect timing, let's discuss this together today and ask for everyone's feedback. After all, even if we achieve something, it's all thanks to our department."

Upon hearing Ji Qinglin's words, Shi Youxin couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's your idea?"

In just a few words, Ji Qinglin completely took control of the meeting.

So while he discussed his plan with the others, he also gave Ellie a smug look.

Seeing this, Ellie nodded in satisfaction.

Only Lü Cheng, who hadn't participated in the discussion, noticed this scene and couldn't help but facepalm, unable to bear watching these two overconfident guys.

Just as several senior executives were discussing their achievements in the conference room, the door to the conference room was pushed open from the outside.

Qiu Tu strode in.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, several senior executives immediately stood up and greeted him, "Director."

As for Ellie, Ji Qinglin, and Lü Cheng, although they were a little slower, they quickly caught up.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu smiled and reached out to urge them to sit down, "No need to be polite, please sit down."

After speaking, Qiu Tu sat down first and opened the document.

After the other senior executives were seated, Qiu Tu looked around at them and then said, "There are two main purposes for gathering everyone here today."

"The first goal is to let our old and new friends meet, get to know each other, and then work together."

"The second purpose was to discuss the matter of earning merit."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Ji Qinglin glanced at the assembled high-ranking officials, his meaning crystal clear: See? I guessed right. Qiu Tu had indeed come to rally everyone together to find a way to earn some merit and prove their abilities to the shelter and the state bigwigs.

As soon as he finished scanning the area, Qiu Tu spoke up, "Last night, I did a great job. The shelter's commendation should be arriving soon, and everyone will probably need to work together to welcome it."

Ji Qinglin: ?

Ellie, Shi Youxin, Guan Weihua: ?

--------

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

Chapter 413 I Want to Make a Merit. (10,000 words, please vote!)

Qiu Tu's promotion is legendary in the entire New Territories City Detective Department.

In just two short years, he rose from the lowest-ranking Level 3 detective to the Director of the Investigation Department.

Therefore, many people still have doubts about Qiu Tu's abilities.

In particular, some of Qiu Tu's achievements went directly to the shelter, or were known only to a few high-ranking officials in the state or the shelter, which led more people to make judgments about Qiu Tu's abilities.

Of course... they admitted that Qiu Tu was somewhat clever and particularly adept at fighting and scheming.

However... people haven't seen much of his ability to get things done.

Therefore, Ji Qinglin just misled everyone by saying that Qiu Tu was going to let everyone brainstorm and find a way to make a contribution, which made everyone think it was possible.

As a result, now... Qiu Tu did talk about making meritorious contributions after he arrived, but instead of asking for suggestions, he said that he had already made meritorious contributions?

This really surprised everyone.

Not to mention Ellie, Ji Qinglin, and Guan Weihua, even Guan Xiao, Qiu Tu's die-hard fan, looked at Qiu Tu with some surprise, unsure whether Qiu Tu was serious or joking.

In the entire office, only Shi Youxin and Lü Chengyi, one old and one young fox, had a thoughtful look in their eyes.

Lu Cheng disguised himself, even putting on a seemingly honest expression.

The entire office fell silent in shock at Qiu Tu's news.

Only the sound of breathing echoed through the room; no one spoke.

Seeing this atmosphere, Qiu Tu laughed twice and then said, "Look at you guys. I was just joking."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the atmosphere in the entire conference room immediately relaxed. Ellie, Ji Qinglin, and Guan Weihua breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Qiu Tu changed the subject and said,

"The shelter is so far from our New Territories city. They won't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. So, we have plenty of time to prepare."

Qiu Tu's words instantly heightened the atmosphere in the entire conference room.

Ellie and the others were completely bewildered: ??

Wait a minute. Was the joke "time doesn't go by that fast" instead of "didn't do any good"?

Ellie felt completely dizzy.

Qiu Tu has been in the office for only one minute, yet he has already completely overwhelmed her, leaving her unable to think straight.

So, she decided to go all out and directly asked, "Wait a minute, Director."

"You mean... you really did something right? But the shelter's reward might not arrive until tomorrow or the day after?"

Qiu Tu smiled at Ellie when he heard her words, then nodded slightly, confirming her thoughts, "Yes. That's right. Deputy Director Ellie."

Ellie frowned deeply. After thinking for two seconds, she hesitantly asked, "Then may I ask, what great deed have you done?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu shook his head and said, "It's inconvenient."

"This likely involves the shelter's secrets. I'm not sure if you have the authority to know."

Ellie:...

To be honest, at that moment, Ellie wanted nothing more than to tear Qiu Tu apart.

To keep it a secret while telling yourself it exists is just teasing people! Riddlers deserve to die!

Perhaps guessing what Ellie was thinking, Qiu Tu scanned the entire room and then said, "As for why I'm telling everyone in advance, it's not to whet your appetite, but rather so that you can prepare in advance."

"In the next day or two, senior officials from the shelter will likely be coming. Our investigation department needs to be prepared for their reception and security."

When the conversation turned to business, Qiu Tu's smile vanished. He leaned back in his chair and called out, "Director Guan."

Upon hearing this, Guan Weihua quickly replied, "Here."

Qiu Tu gave a deep "hmm" and then said, "The New Territories City needs to tighten its security measures these next two days."

"You'll have to work a little harder and patrol the various police stations."

"I will send Secretary Tan and Section Chief Song to assist you."

Section Chief Song is Song Qing.

Although this girl liked to slack off and was often late or left early, she was Qiu Tu's earliest subordinate.

Back then, of Qiu Tu's three men, Liu Fuping went to the prefecture, Wang Xi went to prison, and only she was still living that carefree, optimistic life.

Qiu Tu had always had a good impression of her, so he would always find a reason to promote her whenever he was promoted. Now she was the deputy section chief, holding a sinecure position in the Public Security Department.

Every day at work is just eating and shopping. The only exception is someone who has someone backing them up.

As for Tam Wai-man...

Qiu Tu promised her he would assign her to a local police station. So this patrol would be a good opportunity for her to visit each station and choose one she liked.

And if we happen to catch someone embezzling or breaking the law, we can take them down on the spot to make room for her.

Therefore, Qiu Tu's actions can be considered killing multiple birds with one stone.

Guan Weihua was unaware of Qiu Tu's scheme. Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, he quickly replied, "Yes, Director. I'll go on the inspection after the meeting."

Qiu Tu hummed in agreement, then looked at Guan Xiao and said, "Minister Guan, the Political Department should also take action."

"In the past two days, we have been reviewing the intelligence and focusing on anti-government armed groups and extremist sects such as the United Front, the Destruction Cult, and the New Democracy."

"Then monitor their spies, their moles. Don't let them tip you off."

Having just lost her virginity and been thoroughly pampered by Qiu Tu, Guan Xiao, already a stunning beauty, appeared even more radiant today.
