Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 370 274: Qiu Tu's Stratagems Within the Tent! (10,00

Therefore, if the Xinjie City Military Departnt was only three minutes slower than them, it ans they must have received the news early and made preparations.

'Did the Bureau Chief strike a deal with them? Or... is there a mole?!'

Thinking this, the tall section chief's gaze turned sharp.

He squinted his eyes, looking towards the Xinjie City Military Departnt's vanguard squad with a bit of danger, feeling an impulse to do sothing...

Just at that mont, the sound of rustling footsteps erupted from both the east and west sides of the dark forest.

Soon, from behind the tall section chief and from behind the Xinjie City Military Departnt's squad, figures from large units appeared.

The reinforcents had arrived.

Quickly, key positions along the shore and in the surrounding forest were occupied by the two forces.

Because the numbers and equipnt of both sides were not significantly different, they were very restrained and only began to be wary of each other.

Seeing this, the tall section chief no longer allowed his thoughts to wander but instead focused on commanding his n to extract Tears of Moonlight.

But... the matter of why the Xinjie City Military Departnt arrived so quickly still gnawed at his mind like a parasite...

'Who could have done it...?'

.....

anwhile.

Xinjie City, 12th floor of the Investigation Bureau, Tang Feifei's office.

Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei, wearing uniforms and holding red wine, stood by the window, gazing in the direction of Moonlight Forest and chatting leisurely.

Qiu Tu took a sip of red wine and said softly, "I told the military about Moonlight Lake's early condensation. Aren't you angry?"

Having held power for just a few days, Tang Feifei's aura had beco even more refined and profound.

Her eyes flickered with a yellow glow as she stared distantly and said calmly, "There's nothing to be angry about."

She explained understandingly, "This ti, our goal is very clear, which is to make Yan Chen lose face with the higher-ups."

"If both the Xinjie City Military Departnt and the Investigation Bureau gain no benefits from the ergence of Moonlight Lake..."

"Then the authorities will think that Xinjie is inferior to Eastern City."

"Since Eastern City was established five or six years earlier and has capable figures like Liu Xiongyuan anchoring it, outshining Xinjie is sowhat justifiable."

"Yan Chen's loss won't be too great."

"However, now that the military has joined in on this grand event and gained huge benefits, what will be highlighted is Yan Chen's incompetence and shortsightedness."

"In this way, he can forget about being the Deputy Speaker; in fact, once he cos out, he'll probably be directly criticized and dealt with by the authorities."

Hearing Tang Feifei's analysis, Qiu Tu smiled and nodded in agreent, then endorsed, "Exactly. The reason I told the military about this was, in fact, for the sake of contrast."

"Only by comparing with the successful can we see Yan Chen's failures."

"And..." Pausing, Qiu Tu continued, "after all, we are people of Xinjie."

"Whether it's for battle or sothing else, we still need to strive for benefits for Xinjie when we can."

"Moonlight Lake's massive benefits, no matter which faction of Xinjie City obtains them, will actually bring considerable aid and influence to Xinjie City."

"At least... it can give birth to a few more Cataclysmics."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei slightly nodded, indicating her agreent.

Qiu Tu, looking at Tang Feifei's serene profile, turned his gaze toward the distance.

In fact... there was one more crucial point he hadn't ntioned.

He revealed the information about Moonlight Lake to the military not just because of the two reasons just discussed.

Don't forget that he is not only the Deputy Director of the Political Departnt at the Investigation Bureau but also a legitimate Captain in the military.

Although he too was sowhat unclear as to which side he truly belonged to, it didn't matter... as long as he had a position—this also served as a safety net for him.

After all, climbing up the ranks step by step, he might indeed face sothing in the future that he couldn't handle, and then he could simply switch allegiance.

At that mont, while Qiu Tu was contemplating, Tang Feifei gazed at the distant scenery and then said softly, "Actually, the most important reason I'm not angry is that, after you called the military, you imdiately phoned ."

Tang Feifei said with a chill, "This shows that you don't regard rely as a boss or a regular partner."

Qiu Tu replied with a smile, "Of course, I wouldn't just see you as a boss or a regular partner."

"We are comrades-at-arms."

"And... you are also my Martial Techniques instructor."

Hearing Qiu Tu's ambiguous statent, Tang Feifei's eyes narrowed, suggesting sothing, "Indeed. We are comrades-at-arms..."

After speaking, Tang Feifei looked at Qiu Tu like a leopardess eying her prey, the yellow glow in her eyes twinkling.

Her cheeks were flushed from the wine, and coupled with her untad aura, she seed ready to engage in a lengthy battle with Qiu Tu.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu hastily coughed and reminded, "Bureau Chief. I don't mind, but... tonight's operation still needs your remote command."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei's eyes regained their clarity. She took another sip of wine and looked into the distance again.

Afterward, she asked softly, "Are you sure sothing will definitely happen tonight?"

Qiu Tu replied softly, "90% sure."

Tang Feifei, puzzled, asked, "Why are you so certain?"

Qiu Tu laughed, "Intelligence and analysis."

"All of the enemy's habits and thods are hidden in the intelligence they inadvertently reveal."

"As long as we gather enough intelligence, make enough analysis, and thoroughly understand the enemy, we can predict the enemy's every move."
