Let them offer their loyalty!

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the three Supervisors were stunned for a moment before they understood his intention...

Put simply, Qiu Tu was very dissatisfied with how they had just treated Tang Feifei and himself.

He was using this behavior to warn the three: now that Jia Shu has been arrested, if he is released without charges, everyone will have to take responsibility.

So don't play those patron and actor dramas, everyone is tied to the same string.

If pushed too far, Qiu Tu would flip the table, leaving everyone with no game to play.

Realizing this, Tang Jiancha's eyes clearly showed a hint of surprise and interest.

He looked deeply at Qiu Tu, then smiling, he looked at Qiu Tu's extended hand and shook it again, "You are quite interesting, Chief Qiu."

Feeling Tang Jiancha's enthusiasm this time, Qiu Tu also smiled modestly, "Not bad, not bad. Just hoping the cooperation to come will be smoother."

Witnessing the whole process, Tang Feifei's gaze was shifting, and even the clear yellow at the bottom of her eyes seemed somewhat unstoppable.

She found such a Qiu Tu very interesting. A few simple sentences had completely changed the attitude of the Supervisors.

However, she was more curious about what Qiu Tu would do if the Supervisors' attitudes didn't change, or even if they agreed to release Jia Shu.

After all... arresting a high-ranking official from the Investigation Bureau was a serious mistake for the Disciplinary Department, but it wasn't to an unbearable extent...

Thinking this, she took the opportunity to smooth things over and asked,

"Chief Qiu, that's because Tang Jiancha is magnanimous. If it were another Supervisor seeing your attitude, they might directly agree to your request."

"What would you do then?"

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu laughed and said, "First, I believe Tang Jiancha won't be such an irresponsible Supervisor."

After giving a compliment, Qiu Tu continued with his real reason,

"Second... actually, what I just said was not out of anger, but the truth. Minister Jia being accused of worshiping an Evil God might really be a wrongful accusation. Of course... he has made many other mistakes."

"So, release means release, but it's not a release without charges."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu raised the document bag in his hand and took the initiative to say, "I have already prepared all the relevant materials; we can discuss them in detail now."

It has to be said, Qiu Tu's response was indeed perfect. He flattered, eased the atmosphere, explained his backup plan for his earlier response, and even managed to raise the expectations of the Supervisors.

So, soon, Qiu Tu, Tang Feifei, Tang Jiancha, and the other two sat in the reception room, studying the materials Qiu Tu had brought.

That morning, upon learning that he would meet with the Disciplinary Department, Qiu Tu began to prepare the materials.

Included were all the clues and evidence he had collected during this time, as well as Wang Xi's interrogation record, and a detailed description of the subtle relationship between the Jia brothers, Jia Shu and Jia Wei, and the Evil God.

As Qiu Tu laid out the confessions and clues on the table, one by one explaining them to everyone, they finally understood the full context of the case...

They discussed it among themselves for a while. In the end, it was Tang Jiancha who summarized first.

He looked at Qiu Tu, asking, "So... you mean to say, Jia Shu is actually not an Evil God Cultist, but his own brother, Jia Wei, is?"

"And in the past two months, after discovering the dealings between the Evil God and Jia Wei, he has been trying to stop them?"

Seeing Qiu Tu nod, Tang Jiancha continued, "However, his Cataclysm Path might be very special. He must kill someone and Devour them to improve."

"So over the years, he has secretly killed many people. And his next target was you?"

Qiu Tu nodded again with a smile, then followed up, "And just so happens, I have been investigating the Evil God Cultist cases recently. The Evil God wants to get rid of me."

"So his brother became the bridge between him and the Evil God. They reached a cooperation to attack and kill me together."

After Qiu Tu finished speaking, Tang Feifei, with a somber gaze, summarized, "So, although he has not betrayed humanity, has not betrayed the Sanctuary..."

"But..."

"1. Did he briefly collude with the Evil God?"

"2. Has he harmed his colleagues?"

Qiu Tu added another point, "And 3. He clearly discovered an Evil God Cultist, but not only did he let the cultist go, he also hid it and didn't report it."

"So, he violated the professional ethics and principles of his position as the Head of the Political Department."

As Qiu Tu filled in all the details, the atmosphere in the reception room became a bit awkward for a time.

The Supervisors looked at each other, and Tang Feifei also glanced at Qiu Tu from time to time, and then at...

Obviously... they were all somewhat puzzled by Qiu Tu's thoughts...

According to normal logic, with the extent to which Qiu Tu and Jia Shu have fought, it really has come down to a life-and-death struggle.

Let alone Qiu Tu helping Jia Shu reduce his culpability, it would be considered kind of him not to fabricate slander and evidence, and to furiously besmirch Jia Shu.

And yet... Qiu Tu was actually earnestly trying the case?

For a while, Qiu Tu baffled them all.

Therefore, the reception room fell silent for a while, and after glancing at the three Supervisors, Tang Feifei reminded, "Qiu Tu, if the truth of the matter really is as such."

"Then although Jia Shu may be removed from the position of Head of the Political Department... he will not be subjected to much punishment."

"After all, he has not betrayed humanity or the Sanctuary. Even if he attempted to assassinate you... he did not succeed."

"Moreover, since you were not registered in the Sanctuary's census last night, the people he killed in the past few years are already beyond verification."

"So, once the commotion over this incident settles down, it's very likely that he will be reinstated. His rank might not even be significantly demoted."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu pretended to think for a moment, then deliberately asked, "Would it be possible to expel him from Xinjie City and never allow him back in?" Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

Upon saying that, Qiu Tu added, "He's been keeping an eye on me, and I'm somewhat worried."

Tang Jiancha thought briefly and replied, "Of course, there's no problem with that."

"After all, it's a reasonable request."

After finishing, he seemed still somewhat incredulous that Qiu Tu would let Jia Shu off so lightly, so he confirmed again, "Are you sure you have no other demands, or... that you don't have any other evidence against Jia Shu?"

Qiu Tu smiled while shaking his head, trying to appear as sincere as possible.

He said, "I'm just being factual. If Minister Jia has not turned to the Evil God, he hasn't. I won't fabricate evidence."

Seeing how earnest Qiu Tu was, to be honest, the three members of the Disciplinary Department felt a touch of respect for him.

As members of such a particular department, they had seen too many vile acts. However... that didn't mean they lacked the notions of 'justice' and 'fairness' in their hearts.

It's just that, given the chaotic times, they had grown numb to many issues...

Now, they suddenly encountered a youth like Qiu Tu, who also harbored 'justice' and 'fairness' in his heart. They couldn't help but feel favorably toward him...

Moreover, possibly contemplating the grievances Qiu Tu endured in this case, Tang Jiancha fell into deep thought, then slowly asked, "Chief Qiu, would you like to become a real Bureau Chief?"

What he meant by "Bureau Chief" was clearly a position at the Division Chief level, not the current Principal Section Level position that Qiu Tu held.

Qiu Tu's eyes lit up upon hearing this. However, instead of expressing his thoughts directly, he jokingly asked, "Can I become a Division Chief just by taking down our Minister? Is there such a great deal?"

"If I take down Director Tang, could I even become a Bureau Chief?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's joke, Tang Feifei couldn't hold back and gave Qiu Tu a punch while laughing.

Qiu Tu winced in pain and chuckled while rubbing his arm.

Tang Jiancha and the others laughed at the scene.

After the laughter, they spoke seriously, "Becoming a Bureau Chief is definitely a joke. But a Division Chief or Deputy Division Chief, that we believe is possible."

Speaking, the three exchanged glances, and then Tang Jiancha continued, "The Political Department's main scope of work is intelligence, espionage, counter-espionage, and internal supervision."

"We cannot interfere in other areas of work, nor is it right for us to ask. But... internal supervision is within the scope of work delegated to the Political Department by the Disciplinary Department."

"With Jia Shu being dismissed, regardless of which of the two remaining Deputy Ministers is promoted, a Deputy Minister position will be left vacant."

"If we strongly recommend you, you should be able to fill that position as the head of the supervision branch."

"What do you think about it?"

What did Qiu Tu think? He had no objections at all!

Wasn't this like a pie falling from the sky?!

He originally thought that after offending Yan Chen, the position of Deputy Division Chief at the Public Security Bureau was out of reach. His Cataclysmic ability would take a long time to improve.

Who could have anticipated a reversal of fortune when all seemed lost? Losing the position of Deputy Division Chief at the Public Security Bureau, there was a chance to obtain the position of Deputy Minister in the Political Department?!

Wasn't the Political Department much more desirable than the Public Security Bureau?!

However, even though he was thrilled inside, Qiu Tu knew better than to celebrate too soon.

Thus, he inquired, "But... isn't the appointment of a Deputy Division Chief in the bureau subject to the Bureau Chief's consent?"

Qiu Tu spoke carefully, "Director Yan, due to Minister Jia's incident, might have some objections to me. So... he's very likely to refuse."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Jiancha laughed and looked at Tang Feifei, "Then it depends on your and Director Tang's ability."

"I can only say, I will do my utmost to fight for this opportunity for you."

"If Director Yan is adamantly opposed, we indeed do not have that much clout. But if he is simply not opposed... even without his support, this matter should still be achievable..."
