Then let them offer their loyalty!

Now that we've clarified the key points, the rest is simple.

I didn't do anything last night.

When he received the call from Secretary Bai, he neither ran away nor conducted a private investigation.

He met with Liu Fuping, but did not cooperate with her, nor did he follow her.

This reduced Yan Chen's suspicions and made him satisfied.

With the logic laid out, Qiu Tu finally understood the truth of the whole thing: last night's events were a trap!

The news last night was most likely released by Yan Chen and Jia Shu together!

The purpose was to test the attitudes and stances of everyone involved! And then to find those who were disloyal to Yan Chen and the Investigation Bureau!

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu finally understood one thing: the source of Liu Fuping's information.

He had questioned the source of Liu Fuping's information last night.

It's important to know that Qiu Tu learned of the "death of the female spy" only because Secretary Bai tipped him off. And Secretary Bai was Yan Chen's right-hand man and a high-ranking official in the Investigation Bureau.

What level of influence does Liu Fuping have to get the same information as him?!

After sorting everything out, Qiu Tu suddenly understood everything: Jia Shu had secretly leaked information to several channels, which is why the information reached the hands of spies from various forces.

Therefore, anyone who made any unusual movements after receiving this news last night was probably all monitored by Jia Shu.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's expression darkened.

'That's a truly ruthless tactic.'

One message, and several fish were caught!

Last night, countless spies were exposed and came to Jia Shu's attention.

After figuring out the whole thing, Qiu Tu wasn't happy.

Because what lay before him was a very cruel thing:

He "passed the test" and gained Yan Chen's appreciation, which proves that Secretary Bai and Liu Fuping did not pass the test.

Liu Fuping was fine, but Secretary Bai was one of his own. Moreover, she was the only person he could trust among the high-ranking officials of the Investigation Bureau.

If something happens to him, then there will be no one left to inform Qiu Tu or guide him through his difficulties.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's expression turned cold.

'Old Bai absolutely cannot get hurt!'

With that in mind, he started the car and drove while quietly pondering how to save Secretary Bai's fate.

They drove like this all the way until they were almost at the Investigation Bureau, when Qiu Tu finally had a general idea of ​​what to do.

Gazing at the scenery rushing past the car window, Qiu Tu took a deep breath and murmured to himself,

'I still need to find a suitable opportunity... I hope it's not too late.'

.....

With that in mind, Qiu Tu drove to the Investigation Bureau very quickly.

Upon arriving at the Investigation Bureau's parking lot, Qiu Tu stopped the car and was about to get out when he ran into Qin Zhengguang, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau from the second branch of the Qin family, who had just gotten out of his car.

In just two short days, Qin Zhengguang seemed to have aged considerably: his face not only had many more wrinkles, but his eye sockets were also somewhat dark.

It's obvious that you've been anxious and haven't had enough rest these past few days.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, Qin Zhengguang's expression became somewhat complicated.

After all... Qiu Tu was both his "savior" and the "enemy" of the entire Qin family...

If Qiu Tu hadn't launched the investigation, the four Qin brothers wouldn't have turned against each other, the main house wouldn't have been burned down, and the Qin family wouldn't have been forced to rely on Yan Chen...

So, upon seeing Qiu Tu, he was momentarily stunned before smiling and saying, "Detective Qiu... oh, no, I should say Section Chief Qiu, you've just arrived at the interrogation section, are you settling in well?"

Qiu Tu was also taken aback when he saw Qin Zhengguang.

He didn't have complicated feelings towards Qin Zhengguang.

Seeing Qin Zhengguang reminded him of Master Qin's wife and children.

Although Master Qin's wife and children were under the guard of the security department, his valuables ended up in the hands of his brothers.

We can try to take stock tonight and see how much money Old Deng has actually made over the years...

While thinking this, Qiu Tu also came to his senses and replied with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Director Qin."

"I'm still getting used to the official duties. As for whether I'm getting used to it...?"

"Well, all I can say is that I'm a member of the Investigation Bureau, so whatever my superiors assign me, I'll get used to it."

Hearing Qiu Tu's extremely official words, Qin Zhengguang smiled and patted Qiu Tu on the shoulder, "It's good that you have this awareness."

"However, if you're not used to it, you can tell me."

"If you're willing, I can talk to the chief and get you transferred to our police station."

Upon hearing Qin Zhengguang's words, Qiu Tu looked at Qin Zhengguang seriously for a moment to make sure that the other party was not just being polite. Then he raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Director Qin."

"If I need anything, I will definitely trouble you."

Qin Zhengguang grunted in agreement, then gestured to Qiu Tu before walking with him toward the Investigation Bureau building.

While walking, Qiu Tu wasn't idle either. He glanced at Qin Zhengguang beside him, a thought flickering in his mind, and tentatively asked, "Director Qin, are you acquainted with Vice President Tian?"

"Vice President Tian?" Qin Zhengguang was clearly taken aback when he heard Qiu Tu's words.

He hesitated for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "I'm not very familiar with Vice President Tian."

"But my eldest brother, third brother, and... fourth brother have a pretty good relationship with him."

When Qin Zhengguang mentioned his "fourth brother," his expression turned noticeably worse.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu frowned slightly. "Director Qin, are Qin Laosan and Qin Laosi on good terms with Vice Chairman Tian?"

It's normal for the city hall director and big businessmen to have dealings with Vice President Tian, ​​but why does Qin Laosi, a black-gloved man, have connections with Vice President Tian?

At this moment, seeing Qiu Tu ask this question, Qin Zhengguang also asked curiously in return, "Why is Section Chief Qiu asking this? Has something happened to Vice President Tian?"

Upon hearing Qin Zhengguang's words, Qiu Tu snapped out of his daze and was just about to give a perfunctory reply.

Just then, a familiar voice called out from behind them, "Qiu Tu?"

Upon hearing the call, Qiu Tu, who had been completely relaxed, suddenly became alert and on high alert.

Because...that was Secretary Bai's voice.

'How did we end up together at a time like this?'

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu secretly glanced across the lobby of the entire Exploration Bureau building.

Perhaps because it was during working hours, there were many detectives coming and going in the lobby.

Seeing this situation, Qiu Tu's heart stirred slightly: Although it was not the most ideal scenario, it was still a chance to save Lao Bai.

At that moment, upon hearing the voice behind him, Qin Zhengguang turned around and glanced back.

Upon seeing that it was Secretary Bai, he turned around, smiled, patted Qiu Tu's arm, and then prepared to leave quickly.

As a result, just as he took a step forward with his right foot, Qiu Tu suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

This completely baffled Qin Zhengguang.

He stopped in surprise and looked at Qiu Tu, wondering what Qiu Tu was up to.

At this moment, Qiu Tu, while holding Qin Zhengguang's hand, turned around and gave Secretary Bai, who was walking towards him, a standard salute, saying in a distant and polite tone, "Good morning, sir!"

Seeing Qiu Tu's actions, Secretary Bai was slightly taken aback. He slowed his pace and his eyes flickered.

At this moment, Qin Zhengguang, who was standing next to Qiu Tu, was completely stunned.

Among the mid-to-high-level officials in the Investigation Bureau, everyone knows that Qiu Tu was promoted by Secretary Bai.

It was precisely because of Secretary Bai's recommendation that Qiu Tu was able to catch Yan Chen's eye, be given important responsibilities, and gradually rise to his current position.

Therefore, it can be said that Secretary Bai has been instrumental in recognizing and nurturing Qiu Tu. In turn, Qiu Tu has long been labeled as Secretary Bai's protégé.

As a result, Qiu Tu is now so indifferent to Secretary Bai?

There must be something wrong here!

At this moment, Qin Zhengguang felt like a badger that had stumbled into a melon patch. He looked at Qiu Tu, then at Secretary Bai, then back at Qiu Tu, then back at Secretary Bai, his heart filled with curiosity...

However, Qiu Tu did not give Qin Zhengguang a chance to continue watching the drama unfold.

After greeting him, his expression turned cold. He then nodded slightly to Secretary Bai, turned around, and pulled Qin Zhengguang away.

Qin Zhengguang was reluctant to leave, but... he had no choice. So he smiled at Secretary Bai, and then Qiu Tu pulled him into the elevator.

The two stood inside the elevator, while Secretary Bai stood outside.

Qiu Tu and Secretary Bai looked at each other from a distance.

While Qin Zhengguang wasn't paying attention, Qiu Tu moved his head slightly from side to side.

Because he was in the elevator, the agents outside couldn't see him; only Secretary Bai, who was standing directly opposite him, could.

Secretary Bai frowned slightly, as if she had thought of something.

The elevator doors slowly closed...

Just as the door was about to close, Secretary Bai's expression changed slightly. He glared at Qiu Tu resentfully, then spat on the ground and muttered, "What a scoundrel! Ungrateful! Unappreciative!"

With that soft curse, the elevator doors closed completely, as if separating the two worlds.

Hearing Bai's vague response, Qiu Tu breathed a sigh of relief: he and Bai still had a tacit understanding...

The elevator slowly ascended, and Qin Zhengguang glanced at Qiu Tu many times along the way, finally unable to resist asking, "Section Chief Qiu and Secretary Bai...?"

Upon hearing Qin Zhengguang's words, Qiu Tu pretended to have just come to his senses, then said "Oh," and quickly added with a smile, "There's nothing between us. It's normal. Director Qin has misunderstood."

At this moment, the elevator doors opened, and we arrived at the 5th floor, which is the office floor of the Public Security Bureau.

Qin Zhengguang had a knowing look on his face. He patted Qiu Tu with a smile and teased, "I haven't even said anything yet, how do you know I've already misunderstood?"

After saying that, he laughed twice, a victorious smile on his face, and stepped out of the elevator.

Behind him, Qiu Tu couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment and annoyance on his face, as if Qin Zhengguang had really seen through him.

Only after Qin Zhengguang's figure had completely disappeared from sight did his expression gradually return to normal, and his eyes became playful.

Every good show needs an audience. And Qin Zhengguang is clearly a qualified audience member.

Based on his preconceived notions, the news of his conflict with Secretary Bai should soon spread throughout the Investigation Bureau.

Given the large number of agents coming and going in the lobby, it's inevitable that someone would notice something unusual about him and Secretary Bai. They would also add fuel to the fire as the topic spread.

Therefore, it is believed that this matter will soon reach the ears of Jia Shu and Yan Chen.

My relationship with Secretary Bai was excellent yesterday. How come we suddenly had a falling out this morning?

In this situation, they might easily suspect that their conflict with Secretary Bai was due to that phone call last night.

If Secretary Bai was tipping me off, then I wouldn't break off the relationship with him.

Therefore, when Secretary Bai called me last night, it was most likely to be about something else.

With this preconceived notion, the rest of Secretary Bai's work became much easier.

If he simply makes up a lie about last night's phone call at the right time, such as when Yan Chen asks, and talks about the conflict between the two of them, he can easily clear himself of a lot of suspicion.

Even without a suitable opportunity to explain, as long as this false information reaches Yan Chen and Jia Shu's ears, it will affect their judgment of Secretary Bai's treachery.

Even assuming Qiu Tu guessed the whole truth wrong, and last night's events weren't a conspiracy...

Now that he's in the middle of a huge vortex, keeping his distance from Secretary Bai wouldn't be a bad thing for her.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu felt that he had worried himself sick for himself and for Secretary Bai...

'Old Bai, I've done all I can. The rest is up to you...'

Thinking this, the elevator doors slowly closed and continued to ascend.

Soon, we arrived at the 9th floor.
