With that thought in mind, Qiu Tu quickly flipped through the files to the list of those from the Investigation Bureau involved during the great purge incident.
Deputy Director Lai Shun, Deputy Director Yu Zhengyi, Organizational Departnt Head Shi Youxin, Administrative Office Director Secretary Bai....
Both Deputy Directors, both deputy ministers, and deputy division chiefs... all were truly among the higher echelons of the Investigation Bureau.
'Could it be one of these four?'
Qiu Tu reviewed the identities and administrative powers of these individuals in his mind.
Indeed, this list did fit the speculations he had just made.
All four individuals were influential figures within the Investigation Bureau. Furthermore, all of them could influence decisions regarding the administrative appointnts of deputy division chiefs.
There's no need to ntion Organizational Departnt Head Shi Youxin. His area of authority was precisely to promote officials.
And as his direct superior, also in charge of all administrative and managent tasks of the Investigation Bureau, Deputy Director of Administration Yu Zhengyi, had even more sway over the appointnt of a deputy division chief.
As for Secretary Bai, his authority might not extend to deciding the appointnt of a deputy division chief. But... don't forget who he is. He's Yan Chen's secretary.
Soone like Tao Yaoyao, serving as a confidential secretary, could still stir up trouble in the entirety of Xinjie City by utilizing Commissioner Jiang's influence.
As Yan Chen's chief secretary, Secretary Bai's influence was even more formidable. Coupled with his high-standing position. Hence, he doesn't need to explicitly say it was Yan Chen's directive, just a hint to Shi Youxin.
Shi Youxin would have no choice but to comply.
Considering all this, only Deputy Director Lai Shun would be slightly less suspicious.
After all, he and Yu Zhengyi, as well as Shi Youxin, were considered political adversaries and had no influence over the Organizational Departnt.
However, despite being less suspicious, he couldn't be completely ruled out: after all... don't forget that the Public Security Bureau is under the action departnt, which is managed by him.
Therefore, theoretically, his opinion on this departnt's deputy chief, whether it be Organizational Departnt Head Shi Youxin or Yan Chen, would need to be carefully considered.
After much thought, Qiu Tu frowned and firmly tapped on Secretary Bai's na with his hand...
Although he didn't want to suspect Old Bai.
But to be frank, Old Bai's suspicion was indeed too great.
Apart from being able to influence Zheng Tao's position, the Secretariat was also within the administrative purview of Old Bai's Administrative Office.
This would make it easier for him to help Zheng Tao conceal Tan Huimin's identity.
Moreover, rembering how Vice President Tian's mistress was silenced, Secretary Bai was the first to inform Qiu Tu, insinuating that Qiu Tu should flee... (Chapter 61)
It might be because of the suspicion that when looking at anything there would be doubt, now Qiu Tu sowhat suspected... whether Secretary Bai wanted him to be the scapegoat then.
After all, the disciple of Larilo was the one who silenced Vice President Tian's mistress, and if Qiu Tu had run, the murderer of the case would have been directly pinned on his head.
There would have been no subsequent investigation, nor the series of events that followed...
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu felt a chill down his spine for a mont, shuddering...
At this ti, perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's mood, Qin Shuman softly "Mmm~" and then slowly opened her eyes.
Maybe because this hotel is indeed a safe house of the Security Departnt, Qin Shuman wasn't very vigilant overall.
She propped herself up on the bed, looked up at Qiu Tu with her beautiful peach blossom eyes, and said teasingly, "Minister Qiu is really busy with work~~~"
"Not even forgetting to look over so docunts first during a date~~"
Hearing Qin Shuman's familiar teasing, Qiu Tu suddenly felt his mood lighten.
He smiled and looked at Qin Shuman on the bed, then said, "Well, I didn't want to wake you up since you were sleeping."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman chuckled, stretched lazily, and said nonchalantly, "Then you miscalculated."
"Because I didn't sleep at all."
Saying this, she pointed to her head and explained, "I was just dealing with so intelligence in the office while waiting for you."
Qiu Tu:.....
To be honest, Qiu Tu was sowhat impressed by Qin Shuman's work intensity and competitive diligence.
With this woman's work capacity and diligence, how could his work in the Political Departnt's intelligence even compare to hers!
With that in mind, Qiu Tu couldn't help but tease, "Major Qin, could you leave so leeway for the rest of us."
"With that intelligence capability and work intensity, how is our Investigation Bureau supposed to do our intelligence work!"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman slightly raised her eyebrows and said with a hint of pride, "Actually, it's quite easy to do."
```
"Beg , and I might just be willing to share intelligence with you."
This was indeed one of Qiu Tu's objectives in eting Shuman Qin that night, so when Shuman Qin took the initiative to propose it, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up instantly.
He looked at Shuman Qin, "Are you serious?"
Shuman Qin smiled, "In principle, there's no problem. After all... you're one of our Security Departnt people."
"But..." As she spoke, Shuman Qin gave Qiu Tu an insinuating smile, implying, "It still depends on your performance... "
Hearing Shuman Qin's words, Qiu Tu was taken aback at first. Then he rembered how his body had strengthened after becoming a Second-Order Cataclysmic Awakened, and he suddenly brimd with confidence!
He stood up, undressing as he spoke, "Don't worry! I'll make sure you're satisfied!"
"Hey? Hey? Wait a minute!" Seeing Qiu Tu like this, Shuman Qin blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, "That's not what I ant."
But Qiu Tu... didn't care whether that was her aning or not.
Eager to show off his newfound strength, he quickly finished undressing and pounced on her.
Shuman Qin turned deep red at Qiu Tu's eager behavior.
While hitting Qiu Tu's shoulder, she said shyly, "You really are a rogue."
But at that mont, Qiu Tu didn't care about any of that; all he wanted to do was to communicate with Shuman Qin.
...
After a satisfying conversation, Qiu Tu held Shuman Qin, feeling much more relaxed.
And at that mont, Shuman Qin leaned in Qiu Tu's arms, her face still red, obviously still imrsed in the scene that had just unfolded.
As Qiu Tu's hand gently caressed her bare spine, he asked, "Shuman, under what circumstances would you marry soone?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's question, Shuman Qin was clearly startled.
First she looked at Qiu Tu with a complex gaze, then teased, "Why? You want to marry ?"
Hearing Shuman Qin's words, Qiu Tu was also taken aback.
In fact... he had again been pondering the identities of Zheng Tao and Tan Huimin while instilling "diligence" during that diligent mont.
Unexpectedly, Shuman Qin misunderstood him.
However, being a man who understood won's hearts, of course he knew that now was not the ti to deny it.
So, he looked at Shuman Qin with a deep affection, "Yes, can't I?"
Shuman Qin chuckled lightly, then clicked her tongue twice, shook her head with a coquettish voice, "You man have a problem~~~"
"All I wanted was a mutually beneficial arrangent, and here you are, wanting to marry ."
"In these troubled tis, do we really need to be so sentintally attached?"
Hearing Shuman Qin's words, Qiu Tu looked her over twice and then said, "Mutually beneficial...?"
Qiu Tu recalled a mont, and then said, "But if I rember correctly, it seems like you were very unfamiliar with a certain thing from the start. It looks like you're not skilled at it."
"Are you sure it's mutually beneficial and not that you surrendered yourself to ?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shuman Qin's face turned slightly red, as she rembered the incident that happened the first ti she t Qiu Tu (Chapter 4).
She intended to retort, but then Qiu Tu seed to realize sothing, then suddenly said, "Eh... that being said."
"Your true self, couldn't still be...?"
"Otherwise, it'd be quite a bargain for , wouldn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Shuman Qin quickly covered Qiu Tu's mouth with her hand, irritated, she grabbed a docunt from the table, brandishing the sharp corner of the paper at Qiu Tu's neck, "Say that again!"
Being cornered by Shuman Qin this way, Qiu Tu felt slippery...
He wanted to do sothing, but worried that Shuman Qin might be too tired, so he could only cough and raised his hands in surrender, "My bad, my bad, Major Qin."
Hearing this, Shuman Qin snorted coldly, then finally threw the docunt aside and climbed back onto the bed.
After sitting for a short while, Shuman Qin began to speak slowly, "Qiu Tu... my family is a bit special."
