This news, once it ca out, shocked the upper echelons of Xinjie City.
You have to know, during this ti, who was the most popular among the high-level brass in Xinjie City?
It was certainly... Tang Feifei, who, in a short period of ti, defeated Yan Chen, took charge of the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau, imdiately beca the Domain Master, a Fourth-order Cataclysmic, and was promoted to Deputy Speaker.
Tang Feifei's rocket-like ascent, along with her profound background, made everyone aware that she was destined to be one of the highest echelons in the Sanctuary.
Being able to work with such a figure for a while, even if one might not gain much light from it, was enough to beco a topic for future conversations.
As for Qiu Tu, who was also climbing the ranks quickly but was becoming a bit lackluster in front of Tang Feifei,
Moreover... Many people felt that the reason Qiu Tu was promoted so swiftly was because he had beco an insider with Tang Feifei.
This led to the widespread rumor: it's not because of Qiu Tu's exceptional abilities, but rather... whoever is Tang Feifei's man, becos "Qiu Tu."
Recently, Qiu Tu, because he wanted to keep a low profile, also saw the rumors as unobjectionable, which made the high-level circles in Xinjie City even more convinced that Qiu Tu was promoted because of Tang Feifei.
Apart from Tang Feifei, the most popular high-level figure at the ti, Larilo was also a topic of conversation among the upper-level during their leisure ti.
After all, as the Domain Master of the Xinjie Territory, the upper-middle class of Xinjie City was quite familiar with Larilo.
They had all followed Larilo's downfall.
And later, upon learning that after Larilo had fallen, a sliver of consciousness had escaped to Xinjie City, many in the higher tiers were sowhat eager to try their luck.
A fallen Evil God! Moreover, a fallen Evil God who only had a fragnt of consciousness left, possibly controllable!
If they could capture her, who knows what trendous benefits could be gained!
But the upper echelons had used all kinds of thods to search to no avail...
This led to suspicions that perhaps Larilo's sliver of soul had shattered, completely perishing...
Now, with this news released, everyone was shocked!
What?
Qiu Tu wasn't freeloading?
On the contrary... was it he who had propelled Tang Feifei to the position of Domain Master and Fourth-order Cataclysmic?!
What?
Larilo was actually still alive? And Qiu Tu had found her? And then secretly investigated information that could help Tang Feifei?
Qiu Tu already had a high profile, and aligning with the two "hot topics," doubled the value of spreading the news!
Thus, it didn't take long for nearly all the upper-middle levels of Xinjie City's three major institutions to know about the matter.
And, in the shock of the whole event's turnaround, these high-levels also took notice of the latter half of the news.
After helping Tang Feifei, Qiu Tu, according to the agreent with the Security Departnt, had handed over Larilo to the Security Departnt for further handling.
But then... Larilo escaped en route?
When they first heard this news, the higher-ups felt sowhat schadenfreude.
After all... Looking back now: Qiu Tu's teoric rise, the various won riding his "rocket," and capturing Larilo to help Tang Feifei beco the "Domain Master."
It was just too damn envy-inducing!
Why did all the good things happen to Qiu Tu!
Just as they were reveling in their schadenfreude, the gossip followed: Qiu Tu had sothing else to attend to and did not personally transport the Evil God. It was Qiu Tu's four confidants who transported the Evil God.
Although this ssage disappointed the upper echelon who were enjoying the drama, they found it acceptable.
If Qiu Tu's confidant t with misfortune, it was also bad luck for Qiu Tu!
But just as this thought arose, the final ssage ca through: it wasn't Qiu Tu's confidants who caused Larilo to escape but Ai Li, the director of one of Huang Shangzong's Attendant's Office's three divisions.
Now, the Security Departnt, the military, and the Investigation Bureau were all involved, discussing how to handle the situation.
And the State probably had received the news too.
It was said that Huang Shangzong was furious and even wanted to investigate the case personally, but he was stopped by Liu Xiongyuan and Dai Yukang.
Upon learning the true circumstances, most of the upper-middle class in Xinjie City were nearly silent.
Power is only accountable to its source.
The upper-middle can live extravagantly, secretly discuss Qiu Tu behind his back, but... they dare not express opinions about the bigwigs in the State.
Moreover... which of those who could beco the upper-middle class of Xinjie City was not an Old Fox?
With their keen sense of sll, they could vaguely sense that sothing was amiss with the situation—How could it all be just a coincidence?
Could there be so trick or inside story?
Could it be a power struggle among several big figures?
Because of the fear of implicating themselves, after understanding the whole affair, the upper-middle class started to be more cautious, no longer privately discussing or comnting.
However, everyone knew...
This matter was clearly not over.
And indeed... it was escalating, forming a massive storm!
...
anwhile,
In the capital of Dongye State, Eastern City.
Inside the Parliant Building, the Speaker's office.
A loud "Bang!" was heard!
The desk which had been flipped twice by Huang Shangzong but caught both tis was finally completely overturned this ti!
Things were scattered everywhere, broken and crushed!
Huang Shangzong stood in front of the ruined desk like an iron tower, his face full of fury!
He looked at his secretary before him and furiously berated, "This is a damned trap!"
