Including Liu Xiongyuan and several others, the Order Line fluctuations are barely noticeable and nearly flat.
The Investigation Bureau is a disciplinary departnt, so strict adherence to order is quite reasonable.
But what shocked Qiu Tu was that Scarface's "Order Line" fluctuations were imnsely huge!
The peaks and troughs were almost leaping out of Qiu Tu's vision.
'Sothing's not right... There's sothing amiss...'
Although Qiu Tu wasn't sure why Scarface's "Order Line" would behave like this, he knew that if Scarface truly resigned himself to fate and awaited trial, it definitely wouldn't result in such a "Order Line"!
This ant that he must have other plans or contingencies in mind!
Thinking this, Qiu Tu's expression changed subtly as he thought of an excuse to personally conduct a surprise interrogation of Scarface!
Just then, Liu Xiongyuan also noticed Qiu Tu's arrival.
He turned around, walked over with his hand stretched out, then patted Qiu Tu on the arm and said, "You're here?"
"Let's talk outside."
Qiu Tu deactivated his "Path Ability" and gave Scarface a deep look, not refusing Liu Xiongyuan's suggestion.
He nodded with a smile and said, "Right, it's not really convenient to talk here."
After speaking, the two of them left the interrogation room and went to an empty room next door.
They instructed Shen Lingshuang and Tao Yaoyao to stand guard outside and dismissed everyone else.
Liu Xiongyuan took out a cigarette, offered one to Qiu Tu, and then the two walked to the window, lit their cigarettes, and started to chat while smoking.
Qiu Tu, "The interrogation didn't go well?"
The old man squinted his eyes, took a deep drag on his cigarette silently, and the sound of the tobacco burning went "sizzle sizzle..."
After a mont, he exhaled twin streams of smoke from his nostrils, then he slowly nodded.
"Indeed, it wasn't good."
He gazed at the landscape of Eastern City outside the window, then he began to speak, "According to Scarface, the encounter with Huang Shangzong in the Disaster Zone was purely coincidental."
"Even without Huang Shangzong's 'Infiltration Plan', the Disaster Zone was ready to mobilize a heavy military presence to put pressure on Dongye State."
Upon hearing Liu Xiongyuan's words, Qiu Tu was startled, then asked confusedly, "Mobilize a heavy military presence? Put pressure on Dongye State? Why?"
Liu Xiongyuan's eyes, as dark as ink, also conveyed his bewildernt, "Unclear. Even Scarface himself doesn't know."
"He only ntioned that there's sothing of great importance in Dongye State, and this deploynt of forces was intended to secure it."
"Sothing of great importance?" Qiu Tu's brow furrowed slightly.
This information was too vague and almost as good as none.
However, Qiu Tu felt that Scarface wasn't lying.
After all, the "Order Line" clearly indicated that there was indeed a problem!
That sharp fluctuation in his "Order Line" could very well be referring to this matter.
'Just what could the Disaster Zone be looking for in Dongye State?'
'What is so vital to them that it warrants the deploynt of heavy forces?'
anwhile, as Qiu Tu was silently analyzing the situation, suddenly, a "bang bang bang" resounded on the door.
When Qiu Tu and Liu Xiongyuan entered the room, they had made it clear that they should not be disturbed unless it was sothing important.
So, evidently, sothing important had arisen.
With that thought, Qiu Tu and Liu Xiongyuan couldn't help but turn around to look.
The next second, the door was pushed open, and Shen Lingshuang poked her head in and said cutely, "Speaker Qiu.... Secretary Han just called. Chairman Huang happens to be visiting the Eastern City Investigation Bureau for inspection."
"Hearing that you're also here, he wants you to give a progress report on the cleanup operation against the remnants of the Anti-Governnt Alliance."
Hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Qiu Tu and Liu Xiongyuan couldn't help exchanging glances and then burst out in a wry smile.
It seems... with Old Rao's promotion to Fifth Order, as a Speaker, he's finding it hard to just sit still. Afraid of any further delays, he ca directly to him...
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help recalling Scarface's violently fluctuating "Order Line," and a thought stirred in his heart...
