Then let them offer their loyalty!

Once everyone was out of the way, Section Chief Huang surveyed the crowd and slowly said, "This matter today isn't as simple as it seems... I was just following orders..."

[6 days (the time it took to close the Yin Caimei case)]

[One and a half days (Danger in the Dark)]

.....

It must be said that Section Chief Kong, Deputy Section Chief Yuan, and the others were quite self-disciplined.

Even though Qiu Tu didn't handcuff them or escort them, once the arrest warrant was confirmed to be legal, they obediently followed Qiu Tu out of the Emerald Walled City nightclub.

Of course, along the way, they didn't forget to threaten Qiu Tu just like the villains in TV dramas.

They kept saying things like, "We'll definitely complain about Qiu Tu!" "We won't let Qiu Tu get away with this!" "Let Qiu Tu wait!" all the way there...

Qiu Tu's reaction was to continue touching Bai Ru's waist while casually replying with "okay, okay" and "yes, yes, yes."

Qiu Tu wasn't exactly good-tempered; he just couldn't be bothered arguing with a "dead man."

He hadn't forgotten the first thing he learned when he first joined the Political Department: there are never any wrongful convictions or miscarriages of justice in the Political Department.

So what's the point of engaging in idle chatter with people who are destined to have no future?

After driving out of Emerald City, Cao Dabiao and Akun, who had already returned a group of suspects, were waiting outside in their police T-model car.

When they saw Qiu Tu come out, they all went up to him.

Qiu Tu stopped the car and had Cao Dabiao and Akun take Section Chief Kong and the others to the T-car, but left Bai Ru in his own car.

This clearly led to a misunderstanding among Cao Dabiao, Akun, and other close associates.

Cao Dabiao stared at Bai Ru for a couple of seconds, then chuckled and leaned closer to Qiu Tu, whispering, "Sir, are all the beauties in Emerald City this high quality?"

"This woman may only be slightly above average in looks, but her aura... tsk tsk."

Hearing Cao Dabiao's words, Qiu Tu tilted his head and gestured to Bai Ru in the car, saying casually, "This is one of the suspects, Qian Dafu's wife, Section Chief Bai of the Municipal Hall, and her father is the Deputy Director of the Civil Affairs Department."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Cao Dabiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly wiped the smile off his face, looking embarrassed.

Although the systems are slightly different, the job structures of the three agencies are still interchangeable.

Furthermore, since they are both in the same shelter, even if someone is a suspect, a subordinate cannot make such jokes about their superior before their official status is revoked.

Seeing Cao Dabiao's discomfiture, Qiu Tu revealed a wicked smile.

To be honest, although Cao Dabiao is greedy, lecherous, cowardly, and afraid of trouble,... once you get to know him, you'll find he's quite an interesting person.

Moreover, a team often needs such a lubricant.

So, Qiu Tu really liked to tease him from time to time and see him get embarrassed.

With that in mind, Qiu Tu instructed Cao Dabiao and the others to use a police T-type vehicle to escort the prisoners, while he and Bai Ru followed behind in their car.

Get in the car and start the engine.

Bai Ru, sitting in the passenger seat, was silent for two seconds before asking, "Why won't you let me go in that car too?"

"Are you going to interrogate me alone?"

"Is it because I'm a woman, and it's inconvenient for me to ride in the same car with them?"

Qiu Tu didn't answer her question. Instead, while driving, he commanded, "Spread your legs!"

Bai Ru was stunned when she heard this, but being a conservative at heart, she couldn't help but obey Qiu Tu's forceful command and spread her slender legs apart.

So, Qiu Tu gripped the steering wheel with his left hand and stroked Bai Ru's thigh with his right, feeling comfortable...

When driving, your hands should be where they belong. Otherwise, what kind of driving is that!

Bai Ru:...

They followed the police T-car all the way to the investigation department.

Stop the car. Despite not being notified of the operation, Liu Fuping from the Investigation Department, having somehow received word, was already waiting in the parking lot.

As soon as Qiu Tu got out of the car, she swayed her hips and walked over.

She approached Qiu Tu, smiling and about to say something. But before she could speak, she saw Bai Ru get out of the car. So she stopped again.

"Sister Liu is here?"

Upon seeing Liu Fuping, Qiu Tu greeted her casually and then said, "You've come at the right time. This is Section Chief Bai, Qian Dafu's wife. Take her to see the guardhouse."

Seeing that Qiu Tu had assigned her work, Liu Fuping wanted to stay and chat with Qiu Tu, but in the end she could only salute and reply, "Yes, sir."

After receiving the orders, Liu Fuping walked towards Bai Ru and gestured slightly, "Section Chief Bai, this way please~"

According to the "Emotional Handbook," for women who are "inner-protective," change means "danger" and "discomfort," and they are more accustomed to a life that is unchanging and predictable.

So, although Qiu Tu had been taking advantage of her since they met, Bai Ru still tugged at Qiu Tu's uniform hem pleadingly when she saw Liu Fuping.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then patted Bai Ru's hand with a smile in his eyes, gently reassuring her, "Don't worry, Detective Liu is my man. He won't do anything to you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ru breathed a sigh of relief and then released her grip on Qiu Tu's clothes.

But after letting go, she belatedly realized: why had she trusted Qiu Tu's men? He himself was a big liar, so weren't his men just little liars?

You really have to be careful!

Thinking this, Bai Ru followed Liu Fuping and walked towards the Investigation Bureau.

As Liu Fuping led Bai Ru along, she said with a sympathetic expression, "Section Chief Bai must have been wronged, right? Section Chief Qiu, that guy... sigh..."

As if sensing Liu Fuping's "opinion" about Qiu Tu, Bai Ru paused for a moment, then looked up at Liu Fuping with a surprised expression, "Miss Liu, you also have opinions about Section Chief Qiu...?"

Liu Fuping looked around to make sure no one was watching, then whispered with a look of disgust, "What section chief? He's just a pervert. Let me tell you, he often..."

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Yes. Why was Section Chief Bai taken to the Political Department? Did Section Chief Qiu take advantage of you on the way?"

"I'm only doing this because my husband, Qian Dafu, has taken advantage of me."

"My God. He's such a beast! But what about your husband?"

"My husband, he..."

The two got along very well and in just a few minutes from the parking lot to the detention room, Liu Fuping had already extracted all the information that interested her.

Not only did they learn what happened today, why Bai Ru and Section Chief Kong were arrested, Bai Ru's family background, her marital relationship, and even the color of her underwear.

Hmm... black lace. A bit of a subtle, sexy vibe.

After sending Bai Ru to the detention room, Liu Fuping hummed a little tune and swayed her hips as she walked toward the investigation team, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Last night, she only sat in on one of Qiu Tu's live lessons and felt she had gained a lot. Today, she applied what she learned to Bai Ru, and it actually worked quite well!

This made her even more eager to learn from Qiu Tu's teaching...

She felt that if she studied with Qiu Tu a few more times, she might be able to become a qualified spy and interrogation expert...

However, the most important thing now is to figure out what Qiu Tu is planning to do today and why he made such a big commotion.

This was a task just given to her by the forces behind her...

Thinking this, Liu Fuping hurried towards the investigation team...

Liu Fuping's loyalty +8

...

I watched as Liu Fuping and Bai Ru entered the Investigation Bureau building.

Qiu Tu rested in the car for a while, then looked up at the overcast sky and headed towards the Investigation Bureau building.

I took the elevator to the 9th floor, to the Political Department.

He ran into his superior, Zheng Tao, the head of the interrogation department.

When Zheng Tao saw Qiu Tu again, his expression was noticeably complicated.

As a workaholic, Saturday is, of course, a working day. So, he was probably one of the first to know about Qiu Tu's massive crackdown today.

When they learned that Qiu Tu had arranged to go to Emerald Walled City with some section chiefs from the city hall to have a good time in order to deceive the enemy, they immediately took swift and decisive action to arrest all those involved.

For the first time, he began to change his opinion of this subordinate. He thought... she might be a talented person!

So when he saw Qiu Tu, he took the initiative to greet him and praised him, "Section Chief Qiu, you handled this case very well."

Upon hearing Zheng Tao's praise, Qiu Tu glanced at him in surprise and replied, "Section Chief, don't try to use praise to replace a vacation."

"I'll definitely make up for the extra work I did today next week."

Zheng Tao:...

This is truly hopeless!

After saying goodbye to Zheng Tao, Qiu Tu received many similar looks of admiration, envy, or surprise from Zheng Tao.

Clearly, there are no secrets in government departments; the news of Qiu Tu's arrest half an hour ago has already spread throughout the entire political department.

However, Qiu Tu was not as optimistic as they were.

Therefore, after listening to the "arrest report" briefly back at the investigation team, Qiu Tu did not immediately interrogate the prisoners.

Instead, he went to the empty conference room next door, took his communicator, and waited quietly.

He was waiting, waiting for a phone call.

This phone call will determine the success or failure of his entire plan tonight!

------

Today I'll still be updating with 3 chapters totaling 1 words. I'll post 2 chapters (7 words each) first.

I'm a slow writer, and there's still one chapter I haven't finished. I'll finish it when I get up in the morning and try to post it around noon.

Chapter 110 A Clash with Jia Shu (10,000 words, seeking monthly votes)

Qiu Tu didn't have to wait long.

Just a few minutes later, his communicator started vibrating.

Qiu Tu picked up the communicator and glanced at the incoming call. After confirming it was the person he was waiting for.

He composed himself and then answered the phone with a smile.

As the call connected, Jia Shu's fake laughter came through the receiver, "Section Chief Qiu, you've got some skills. You've stirred up such a big news story without making a sound."

Hearing Jia Shu's somewhat sarcastic words, Qiu Tu said with a serious expression, "Thank you for the praise, Minister. It's all thanks to your excellent guidance."

Both were cunning old foxes; simple verbal exchanges had no effect on their composure.

So Jia Shu pretended not to notice Qiu Tu's anti-yin-yang remarks and formally started the conversation.

He asked with a smile, "Does Section Chief Qiu know who he arrested today?"

Qiu Tu said frankly, "Of course I know. I arrested Qian Dafu, Wang Zhuang, Hu Kaiwei, and Qi Yun, four big businessmen in the transportation industry."

At this moment, Jia Shu was sitting in a private box on the fifth floor of the Emerald City Racecourse.

The sky outside the private room was overcast and gloomy, casting flickering light and shadow on his face.

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jia Shu smiled, casually playing with a deck of cards in his hand, and corrected him with a faint smile, "They are not four big businessmen in the transportation industry, but the heads of only four transportation companies in the New Territories City."

"Apart from the official transport fleets managed by the military, these four companies are the only channels for exchanging goods between the New Territories and other cities."

"Is that so?" Qiu Tu actually knew all this all along, but he still asked with feigned surprise, "Then have I caused trouble for the minister?"

Qiu Tu's simple act of feigning ignorance did not fool Jia Shu. He chuckled and affirmed, "I have indeed gotten myself into some trouble."

"As soon as these four big businessmen were arrested, all the trade in and out of the New Territories came to a standstill."

"Various departments of the city hall are calling me one after another, asking what happened and when I can release these four businessmen, fearing that the transportation route will be closed."

At this point, Jia Shu sighed, as if he were both putting pressure on the situation and expressing his feelings. "The situation is very serious, Section Chief Qiu. After all, our exploration department's various supplies also need to be distributed by the city hall."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu sat down at the table in the empty conference room, his expression remaining largely unchanged.

He knew that no matter what Jia Shu said, he was actually using the situation to force him to release the people.

But... now that they've all been caught, how could Qiu Tu possibly let them go again!

Therefore, he deliberately did not follow Jia Shu's line of thought, but instead expressed his feelings from another perspective.

"It seems... they really have the New Territories City under their control, otherwise... they wouldn't have dared to do illegal and disorderly things."
