Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Cao Dabiao's gaze flickered ceaselessly as if analyzing whether the information Qiu Tu had divulged was real or fake.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu didn't rush him; he simply took out a cloth bag, counted out 80 Silver Yuan from the box full of them, and tossed it to Cao Dabiao.
"Ding ding ding~" As the cloth bag landed in his hands, it discharged a symphony of intoxicating coin clinks.
Cao Dabiao accepted it blankly, then looked at Qiu Tu in surprise.
Qiu Tu said, "This is 80 Silver Yuan, yours."
Feeling the hefty weight in his hands, Cao Dabiao swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing the greed in his heart, then tentatively asked, "Officer, this seems to be operational funds, isn't it? This...."
Qiu Tu waved his hand to interrupt him, "As long as I dare let you take it, I can ensure your safety."
"If I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
"If the sky falls, won't I be here to hold it up for you!"
"Make your choice now. If you are willing to follow , take the money, and I'll keep you in mind when it's ti for promotions and wealth!"
"If you're unwilling, just put it down, then find a place to stay for a few days. After I complete my mission, you can co back, and I absolutely won't make things difficult for you!"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Cao Dabiao's expression changed rapidly.
After a mont, as if coming to a realization, he bent over. Grinning up at Qiu Tu, he said obsequiously, "You jest, Officer."
"Actually, from the first ti I t you today, I felt an instant connection, eager to serve before and behind your saddle."
"It's just that you seed to have so misunderstandings about , not giving a chance."
"Now that you are willing to accept , I couldn't be happier."
As he spoke, he tucked the cloth bag into his chest, with an ingratiating smile he said, "From now on, just command for anything, Officer. I assure you, I will go through fire and water and not shirk from death!"
Listening to the obsequious words, Qiu Tu looked at him deeply and then burst out laughing, "Haha."
Cao Dabiao also laughed along, his deanor resembling that of a fawning dog...
Half an hour later, Cao Dabiao nodded and bowed as he backed out of the room. Once he turned around, his hand touching the weighty Silver Yuan in his chest, his face brimd with excitent.
anwhile, Qiu Tu watched his retreating figure, his eyes filled with amusent...
See, greed is always the most powerful weapon.
Without avarice, it would have been difficult to find the opportunity to drag Cao Dabiao and the entire Political Departnt squad into the mire.
Now that the entire squad had taken misappropriated public funds, especially with Cao Dabiao taking so much, they were truly tied to the sa string of grasshoppers.
They would be safe while everything went smoothly for , but if I were to encounter danger... they would have to protect in turn to save themselves.
Used properly, these people could achieve so unexpected effects...
With that in mind, Qiu Tu took out the communicator and dialed Eagle's number.
On the communicator, Qiu Tu arranged for Shen Lingshuang to purchase the herbs and ordered him to have Ah-Kun, Monkey, and a few other brothers go to different pharmacies and the black market to buy them in batches.
After giving instructions on what to pay attention to, Qiu Tu said to Eagle, "Eagle, I'm preparing to transfer you and Ah-Kun to the Political Departnt to help ."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Eagle replied steadily, "Alright, Brother Tu. Then I'll go to the Political Departnt to submit my report tomorrow and prepare for the assessnt."
Qiu Tu said, "Hmm, but don't put my na as your recomnder."
Eagle asked, "Then whose na should I write?"
Qiu Tu, "Cao Dabiao."
"I'll give you his contact information in a bit; you get in touch with him."
"Okay," Eagle responded, then thoughtfully added, "Brother Ted received a notification from the Special Service Departnt today and has gone for the assessnt."
"I heard that apart from failing in the shooting, he got grade As in all the other subjects. There won't be any problem with him passing the assessnt."
This was a matter agreed upon by Fang Ming and Qiu Tu, so Qiu Tu rely responded with a noncommittal "Hmm" and did not offer any further comnt....
With that, the communication was ended, and Qiu Tu sat on a chair, quietly gazing at the night outside for a while.
He felt like he was a frail ghost face spider in the Amazon Rainforest, silently weaving his own dark, extensive web that sprawled across the entire Xinjie City, then patiently waiting for the mont to hunt....

[5 days (the latest deadline to obtain evidence against the Qin Family)]
[31:12:11 (ti remaining to create the Cataclysmic Potion)]
The night passed uneventfully.
The next day, before Qiu Tu could receive contact from the forces behind Qin Shuman, another fish took the bait first.
"Fourth Master? I didn't expect you would communicate with ."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Master Qin Si chuckled over the communicator, "Hahaha. Agent Qiu, you know I don't visit without good reason."
"Oh?" Upon hearing Fourth Master's words, Qiu Tu, while sipping tea, casually asked, "What matter brought to Fourth Master's mind?"
Master Qin Si said, "It's still about my good-for-nothing Second Brother, of course."
Continuing, Master Qin Si said, "Tonight, I would like to invite Agent Qiu to watch a play."
Qiu Tu, "A play?"
Master Qin Si affird, "Yes, a play."
"To let you witness firsthand my Second Brother's confidant getting in contact with the anti-governnt organization."
At Master Qin Si's words, Qiu Tu paused.
His interest piqued, he asked, "Actually, Fourth Master, more than Director Qin colluding with the anti-governnt organization, I'm curious about... why you are targeting Director Qin so specifically."
"What benefit would Director Qin's fall have for you?"
Upon hearing this, Master Qin Si declared unequivocally, "No benefit!"
He expressed a sort of exasperation, saying, "But I just can't stand by and watch him destroy the family business my father worked so hard to build from scratch!"
With a hint of nostalgia, he continued, "Back in the day, my father started with nothing, battled through hardships, and established the vast Qin family wealth! Besides my grandfather's 100 jin of gold, a tech company, and a few dozen trustworthy lieutenants, he relied on no one!"
"So I will not allow anyone to destroy what he spent his lifeti building!"
Qiu Tu:....
"Understood."
Master Qin Si grunted, then went on, "That's why, when I found out what my Second Brother had done, I knew only by condemning my own kin could I save the Qin family from ruin."
"The reason I left that docunt last ti was because I wanted to see if you, Agent Qiu, truly dared to investigate this matter."
"And yesterday, when you deployed a team of Political Departnt Investigators to start looking into it, you convinced of your sincerity, so I am also willing to show you even more of mine."
After listening to Master Qin Si, Qiu Tu fell silent for a mont, then said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Fourth Master to send the address and ti to my communicator."
Master Qin Si laughed heartily a few tis and then ended the communication.
Sure enough, before long, Qiu Tu's communicator received an address from an unfamiliar number: Zhizhen Grand Hotel, Room 108, 8 p.m.
"Zhizhen Grand Hotel?"
Murmuring the na, before Qiu Tu could make a decision, his communicator rang again the very next second.
This ti too, it was a ssage from an unfamiliar number.
