Let them offer their loyalty!

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping on the other end of the phone laughed.

"Giggle giggle~" She laughed so hard she was bending over backwards, "Indeed, with that heartless character of yours, you wouldn't come to me if there wasn't an issue~"

She was quite aware of her own character, so after her laughter subsided, she spoke seriously, "Alright, tell me, my dear minister, what has brought you to me this time?"

Even though Liu Fuping teased him, Qiu Tu wasn't the least bit embarrassed. He said, "I have an important piece of intelligence that I'd like to pass through you to Director Liu."

When Liu Fuping heard Qiu Tu's words, she didn't take much interest at first, asking, "What intelligence?"

Qiu Tu replied seriously, "Yan Chen is currently advancing to a Fourth-order Cataclysmic, plotting for the position of Deputy Speaker of Dongye State."

Indeed, the news was shocking enough to even startle Liu Fuping, who wasn't very sensitive to intelligence.

She didn't bother flirting with Qiu Tu any further, and hurriedly confirmed again, "You're saying Yan Chen is advancing to Fourth-order Cataclysmic? And she's planning to compete for the Deputy Speaker of Dongye State with that?"

After speaking, she seemed a bit puzzled, "But... what's the direct connection between becoming a Fourth-order Cataclysmic and competing for the position of Deputy Speaker of Dongye State?" Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire

Qiu Tu didn't hold much hope for Liu Fuping's intelligence analysis capabilities, so seeing that Liu Fuping couldn't see through the game, he replied with a laugh, "Sister Liu, you just need to bring this intelligence to Director Liu. That's all."

"The rest, he will understand."

Liu Fuping gave a couple of "Oh oh" sounds, then suddenly caught on.

She asked indignantly, "Are you saying I'm dumb?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu "Ha ha" laughed out loud twice, then swiftly changed the subject, "By the way, what have you been up to lately, Sister Liu?"

"Since you left Xinjie City, I've never heard from you again."

"I even specially had people inquire about you in Eastern City, but to no avail."

Qiu Tu was actually telling a barefaced lie.

Since Liu Fuping's departure, he had hardly thought about her at all.

Moreover... before the establishment of Dongye State, each city was relatively independent, and Qiu Tu's influence couldn't reach Eastern City.

So, he was completely hoodwinking Liu Fuping.

But... women fall for this kind of trick.

According to the "Emotional Fraud Manual," this is one of the "108 Ways to Enhance Affection: No. 10, Benign Lies."

Whether the woman is smart or foolish, they share a common trait: they like sweet nothings.

Even if they know the flattery is false, they still enjoy it.

This is not only because women crave emotional value more than men do, but also because they easily fall into a strange logical loop: if he is willing to lie to me, it means he cares about me.

As expected, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, a lovely smile curved up the corners of Liu Fuping's mouth on the other end of the phone. She was clearly very pleased.

Even if she most likely guessed Qiu Tu was just comforting her, she still explained with a soft voice, "I didn't leave my real name for you, so it'd be a miracle if you could find any news about me."

"And besides..." she paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "I'm not in Eastern City now."

This change was indeed unexpected to Qiu Tu. He was stunned for a second, then inquired, "You're not in Eastern City? Then where are you?"

Liu Fuping replied, "I'm now in the Sanctuary."

She went on, "With the imminent establishment of Dongye State, it signifies that those dozen or so Planning Areas of Eastern City, Xinjie City, will be integrated into a whole, officially entering the Sanctuary's system."

"Hence, the Sanctuary has demanded from Dongye State that the current chaotic legal system must come to an end. They require the establishment of a basic judicial system within the present Investigation Bureau framework."

Saying this, Liu Fuping spoke with a hint of pride, "And Director Liu has recommended me to be one of the first members of this system."

"I'm currently studying at the Sanctuary, striving to learn the basics of law within a month, memorizing legal provisions, and then following the Sanctuary-appointed judges to Xinjie City to establish a basic judicial system."

Hearing Liu Fuping's remarks, to be honest, Qiu Tu felt genuinely surprised.

Liu Fuping... was going to become a judge?

And one of the first judges in the newly established judicial system of Dongye State?

The value of this position really couldn't be underestimated.

Qiu Tu guessed that with the golden touch of the personnel sent by the Sanctuary, by the time Liu Fuping comes back gilt in gold, she might really be treated at the level of a Deputy Division Chief.

However, when he thought that... this judicial system was established within the framework of the Investigation Bureau, thereby further strengthening the power of the Bureau, Qiu Tu felt a bit of a toothache.

With this, the power of the Deputy Speaker representing the Investigation Bureau system, who would now hold the judiciary of Dongye State, would be tremendously intimidating.

And if Yan Chen actually became that Deputy Speaker, from then on, in Dongye State, Qiu Tu really would be at Yan Chen's mercy.

Considering this, Qiu Tu made up his mind once again: he had to stall for time, and not let Yan Chen become the Deputy Speaker.

With that in mind, Qiu Tu first congratulated Liu Fuping, "Then let me congratulate Sister Liu in advance!"

"I'll be waiting to give you a warm welcome when you come back to Dongye State. At that time, I will definitely throw a celebration for your return."

After finishing, Qiu Tu immediately brought the topic back to the main point, "Then I'll leave the matter of contacting Director Liu in your capable hands, Sister Liu. Please make sure the intelligence gets to him."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping giggled, then said, "Don't worry, young man~ I will make sure the intelligence is delivered."

"I believe the Director will be interested."
