Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 311 253: Taking Control of the Investigation Bureau

As soon as the eting started, Lai Shun and others wanted to sarcastically comnt on Tang Feifei, saying that she was utterly unqualified to preside over the eting or to oversee the work of the Investigation Bureau.

But Tang Feifei simply produced two docunts.

The first was the authorization to "arrest Secretary Bai" from the Sanctuary, obtained by Qiu Tu and her the night before.

The second was Wu Zhi's case closure report.

Then, she made only three statents.

The first was, "Bai Yu is suspected of colluding with an Evil God, and we now suspect that there are followers of the Evil God among the senior ranks."

The second was, "Wu Zhi's case closure report is here, so people want to oversee the big picture at the Investigation Bureau. Fine, no problem. Then please report to Huang Shangzong on your own."

The third was, "I've finished speaking, and now while Director Yan is absent, I'd like to temporarily preside over the major affairs of the Investigation Bureau. Who supports, and who opposes?"

After these three statents, the eting of senior officials was almost dead silent.

The first statent was a blatant threat: if she could arrest Bai Yu, then of course she could control the senior officials present.

Even if they later found they had arrested the wrong person and then released him, the arrested official obviously wouldn't be able to preside over work.

The second statent clarified that the situation at the Investigation Bureau wasn't stable and smooth, but that it was sitting on a massive minefield.

She was confident that after taking over, this mine wouldn't explode under her. But who else present dared hold the sa confidence.

The third statent was an implication, enticing everyone: she was only temporarily presiding over the Investigation Bureau in Yan Chen's absence, not actually usurping power.

When Yan Chen returned, she would still be the minority in the senior officials' eting, as if not stirring any waves.

Therefore, under Tang Feifei's display of both strength and weakness, even holding the trump card of "Wu Zhi's death," the senior officials hesitated for a long ti, smoked several cigarettes, exchanged many glances, and ultimately acquiesced to Tang Feifei's leading position in the Investigation Bureau....

Thus, Tang Feifei successfully ascended to the highest seat of power within the Investigation Bureau.

This was the path to seizing power that Qiu Tu had planned for Tang Feifei when he phoned her.

To put it plainly, the sche wasn't ingenious. But it made full use of the tense and delicate situation of the mont.

The death of Wu Zhi, the imminent establishnt of Dongye State, the attitude of the senior officials ingratiating themselves to Huang Shangzong, the arrest of Secretary Bai, the Diciplinary Departnt's special arrest permit, and Yan Chen's temporary promotion....

As for why they had to first deal with Yu Zhengyi.

It was because, in the Investigation Bureau, aside from Secretary Bai, the person Yan Chen relied on most was this high-ranking Deputy Director.

Moreover, Yu Zhengyi was actually the number one ranked Deputy Director within the entire Investigation Bureau, truly second only to one but above tens of thousands.

Hence, if Yan Chen could arrange for soone to take charge before his promotion, it would only be Yu Zhengyi.

Therefore, as long as Yu Zhengyi was kept in check, the others would be like snakes whose vital points were grasped, ready to be manipulated by Tang Feifei and Qiu Tu.

This entire plan was conjured and designed by Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei together.

But Qiu Tu truly hadn't expected Tang Feifei to move so fast, and in just a few hours, she had control of the Investigation Bureau.

While this was only nominal control, that was exactly what Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei needed.

As long as they had "justice" on their side, they could freely install confidants and use the powers of the Investigation Bureau during this sensitive period, which was incredibly important.

In ti, there would certainly be senior officials who would realize sothing was off and raise objections.

But Qiu Tu's other strategic plan was to use the trump card of "Wu Zhi's death" to its fullest extent, to create massive turbulence....
