Let them offer their loyalty!

Perhaps because it was exactly quitting time, the corridor of the Public Security Bureau was filled with many agents saying their goodbyes or heading out.

Compared to the Political Department, the Public Security Bureau had less power, but the work was also more relaxing. So there wasn't as much pressure to perform as in the Interrogation Section of the Political Department.

Everywhere, one could see agents clocking out on time, even with smiles on their faces.

Seeing Qiu Tu in the black uniform of the Political Department, shoulder adorned with a bar and two stars, they knew that this was the recently famous and highly talked-about Qiu Tu from the Investigation Bureau.

Therefore, in a short time, Qiu Tu not only received many greetings but also ended up with quite a few small notes in his hand.

Among them were those seriously looking to hold onto coattails for a promotion, and also those looking to hold onto coattails in a less dignified manner seeking a "promotion device"…

After all, with Qiu Tu's current age and position, his future could be said to have unlimited prospects. Hence, rather than being a subordinate, becoming the lady of the house was the shortcut to truly latching onto Qiu Tu's golden thigh.

In order not to let these agents who showed goodwill towards him down, Qiu Tu collected all the small notes, planning to sift through them later to see if there were any talents he could use.

He moved through the crowd to the investigative team's office. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire

Pushing open the door, Qiu Tu was immediately embraced by someone who bumped into him.

As a Cataclysmic, Qiu Tu didn't suffer any harm, but the person who bumped into him staggered a few steps and almost fell.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu reflexively extended his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms, which brought her immediately into his embrace.

"Ouch. Chief, are you made of stone? So hard,"

The one who bumped into Qiu Tu was clearly the young girl Song Qing. Rubbing her shoulder in pain and pouting, she preemptively complained, "I'm injured. I can't go to work tomorrow."

"Chief, give me a day off."

Listening to her, Qiu Tu laughed. He let go of his embrace around Song Qing's slender waist and said, "You are always looking for excuses not to work."

"Fine, I'll give you the day off tomorrow, no need to come in."

Seeing that Qiu Tu actually agreed, Song Qing's eyes lit up. She said cheerfully, "Thank you, Chief! You're the best! Wishing you 'may the red flag at home never fall, and may the colorful flags outside flutter freely~~'"

Qiu Tu was truly rendered speechless by Song Qing's antics. He flicked her on the forehead with a laugh and scolded, "What are you even saying? Hurry up and knock off work."

With a "hehe," Song Qing stuck out her tongue at Qiu Tu, grabbed her bag, and ran out of the office.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Qiu Tu thought for a moment and then called out to her, "Song Qing."

Hearing Qiu Tu's call, Song Qing turned back, a puzzled look on her face as she tilted her head and asked, "Chief, what's up?"

Qiu Tu said seriously, "Try to avoid contact with unfamiliar men for the next few days. Don't forget what happened to Wang Xi and Jia Wei, the Evil God hasn't left yet."

Hearing Qiu Tu's advice, Song Qing's smile vanished instantly. She turned around and saluted Qiu Tu crisply, "Yes, Chief!"

The girl looked slim and fragile, like an unripe apple, exuding the scent of youth.

Qiu Tu smiled and waved, "Off you go."

Following the departure of the anti-curling expert Song Qing, the other confidants in the office also began to leave one after another, laughing and talking as well.

Today was everyone's promotion day, and most had gatherings or banquets. More than one agent invited Qiu Tu over for a drink.

Confidants like Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng, who were ranked among the top few, even invited Qiu Tu to come over and sit down.

But since he had other matters on his mind, Qiu Tu declined with a smile.

And so, after all the confidants had left for the day, the office was left with only Qiu Tu and Liu Fuping.

Seeing Liu Fuping sitting in her chair, watching him with a smile,

Qiu Tu asked curiously, "Sister Liu not leaving?"

Liu Fuping's eyes danced, her voice filled with innuendo as she said, "Isn't the Chief here especially to see me?"

Qiu Tu looked at Liu Fuping and felt that this woman had indeed grown a lot.

So he didn't hide his intentions. He smiled, walked behind Liu Fuping, then leaned down and hugged her from behind, his mouth close to her ear.

Holding the soft beauty in his arms, Qiu Tu whispered, "I have a task that I need you to handle."

Liu Fuping tilted her swan-like neck back, curiously asking, "Director Liu? Or Commissioner Jiang?"

Qiu Tu, "Both."

Liu Fuping laughed, "Chief is quite greedy, isn't he?"

Then she mimicked Song Qing, "'May the red flag at home never fall, and may the colorful flags outside flutter freely~~~'"

Qiu Tu couldn't help but laugh and cry at Liu Fuping's teasing. He firmly kneaded Liu Fuping's plump chest and said without any courtesy, "That little flag, get going and handle it!"

Liu Fuping felt so weak from Qiu Tu's kneading that she threw her head back. With a tone mixed with helplessness, she said, "Alright, alright~ Chief."

"You're only taking advantage of my difficulties these past two days to bully me."

"Just wait until these days are over, and see if I don't turn the tables on you."

Qiu Tu was a bit wary of Tang Feifei, but he was really not afraid of Liu Fuping at all.

So he hissed, and then said, "Sister Liu, you've really improved a lot in a few days."

"Waiting for the day to have a showdown?"

Liu Fuping's lips curved slightly, and she agreed cheerfully, "Sure."

Qiu Tu acutely noticed the smile on Liu Fuping's lips.

His heart "thumped."

Shit, could he have been tricked?

Was this beautiful woman's learning ability so strong? Not only did she learn his trick of deceiving people, but she even mastered the skill of stirring emotions?

And just when Qiu Tu was surprised by Liu Fuping's progress, Liu Fuping, having achieved her goal, also smiled and took out a specially made communicator from her pocket and started making a call in front of Qiu Tu.

Although Liu Fuping didn't avoid him, seeing this, Qiu Tu still gave her enough respect.

He let go of the hand that was on Liu Fuping's chest, then stood up and walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and quietly fell into contemplation.

After a while, Liu Fuping finished her call, and she took the initiative to stand up and come in front of Qiu Tu.

She reached out to embrace Qiu Tu's arm, wrapping his arm into her chest, and Liu Fuping whispered, "Secretary Tao said she's free tomorrow morning. She can meet with you then."

"At that time, you can go directly to the private house across from the Investigation Bureau to find her."

"As for Director Liu..."

Liu Fuping hesitated for a moment, "I told him you have clues about that case from years ago. But he clearly doesn't quite believe it."

"So, I still need to wait for his further decision."

Getting one out of two tasks done was already enough for Qiu Tu.

So, he put his arm around Liu Fuping's waist, looking out at Xinjie City which, after being overcast for two days, had finally started to rain, and quietly contemplated...

...

After confirming the time to meet with Secretary Tao with Liu Fuping.

Qiu Tu first drove Liu Fuping home, then tactfully declined her offer to come up for a visit.

With the excuse "I don't want my child to be eaten," he drove off.

Leaving only Liu Fuping blushing and stamping her feet in embarrassment at the foot of the building.

In fact, if it were any other time, Qiu Tu wouldn't mind going up for a visit, to discuss with Liu Fuping another way of reproducing life.

But... he hadn't forgotten that although a promotion was in sight for him now, danger lurked on all sides.

With the Evil God Larilo watching covetously ahead, the United Front preparing to ransack his old home behind, and some mysterious person secretly spying on him on the side.

So now, he must first go home and make proper arrangements for Shen Lingshuang.

He didn't want to be conquering lands only to find his home base on fire.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu glanced at the "Crisis Countdown" in the upper left-hand corner of his vision.

["Appreciation of the Evil God (52 hours)"]

["Revenge of the United Front (9 days)"]

["Threat in the Darkness (∞)"]

Then... he put his foot on the accelerator, heading towards Old Alley Street...

Even though it was raining, the night market on Old Alley Street was still bustling. Stalls were everywhere, and haggling was commonplace.

This night market had significantly increased the income of the neighborhood residents. But, at the same time... it also made the area mixed and not very safe.

Just from what Qiu Tu saw, there was more than one pickpocket at work, and there were even some people who looked like gang members staking out the place.

'It seems... it's time to leave Old Alley Street.'

With this thought, Qiu Tu parked his car, took his umbrella, and went through the lively night market, back home.

When he got to his front door, Qiu Tu hadn't even knocked when he heard a "clang, clang" sound coming from inside, as if something was being hammered.

'Is Shen Lingshuang tearing down the house?'

While he ridiculed the notion in his mind, Qiu Tu took out his keys and opened the door.

And what met his eyes was Shen Lingshuang, sweating profusely, busily assembling a somewhat worn workbench.

She wielded a large mallet, knocking here and there, hectically busy.

Curious, Qiu Tu asked, "What are you doing?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's voice, Shen Lingshuang realized that Qiu Tu had come home!

Her face lit up with surprise as she looked up at Qiu Tu and said, "Qiu Tu! You're back!"

The girl's eyes shone brightly, as if they harbored stars...
