Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 99 86 Use (7k)

Seeing Qiu Tu's ferocious deanor, Tian Xiaotian wasn't annoyed. Instead, he excitedly said, "How could that be!"

"How could I possibly be on good terms with him!"

Tian Xiaotian stated emphatically, "I have a grudge against him too!"

Pointing to the bruises on his face and arms, he said, "Look, this, this, and this, were all caused by him hitting !"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's face was a picture of astonishnt,

"Disrespecting a superior is bad enough, but he even dares to fight??"

At this point, Qiu Tu glanced at Tian Xiaotian's epaulette, "You're a First Level Detective. Good lord, he even dares to assault a superior?! He's really flipping the world upside down!"

When Tian Xiaotian heard Qiu Tu's words, he reflexively glanced at Qiu Tu's epaulette and uniform, and upon realizing that Qiu Tu was actually a Deputy Staff Director from the Political Departnt, he was belatedly shocked.

But perhaps because his family had protected him too well, he was surprised, but not overly polite to Qiu Tu, just casually saluting, "Sir."

Then he continued, "Sir, if he dares to offend you, hitting is nothing."

"I tell you, people from the lower ranks like him just refuse to be disciplined, lawless!"

Speaking of which, he glanced around and whispered, "Sir, why don't you take him to the Political Departnt and give him a good discipline?"

On hearing this, Qiu Tu put on a face of feigned wretchedness, "I would indeed like to, but that's not possible."

"The Special Service Departnt is a big departnt, and it's not weaker compared to our Political Departnt. If I dare to capture soone from the Special Service Departnt over such a trifle, it would be strange if they didn't fight back against us."

After hearing Qiu Tu's response, Tian Xiaotian just made an "oh" sound, not really caring: perhaps he knew himself that this idea was a bit far-fetched.

Afterwards, as the two walked and talked, they developed a profound "affection" for each other in just a few minutes.

Especially Tian Xiaotian, for so reason, just felt that this Deputy Staff Director from the Political Departnt, whom he had only t once, was particularly endearing and easy on the eyes.

If he wasn't certain about his own sexual orientation, he might have suspected that Ah-Tai's beating the previous day had caused him so disorder.

And Qiu Tu.... found that the "Mandragora Love Drug" was indeed very effective.

He had only just t Tian Xiaotian. And their eting was such a coincidence, yet Tian Xiaotian showed no suspicion at all, eagerly answering every question. In just a few minutes, they started addressing each other as brothers.

"Brother Tian, I never expected that you're the son of Vice President Tian. To be a First Level Detective at such a young age, truly, like father like son!"

Tian Xiaotian bashfully waved his hands, "No, no. I didn't earn this position based on my own rits, but it was arranged by my father."

"He said we needed to strengthen ties with the Investigation Bureau, so he placed in the Special Service Departnt as a First Level Detective."

Qiu Tu's gaze flickered slightly: the first important piece of information was obtained.

At that mont, Tian Xiaotian also asked out of curiosity, "Brother Tu, I heard you say earlier that you started off as a driver for the Bureau Chief?"

"Are you in a good relationship with the Bureau Chief?"

Qiu Tu smiled, "Of course, I am."

"I'll tell you, the reason I was promoted so quickly was all thanks to the support from the Bureau Chief and our Minister."

"Otherwise, think about it, soone like , coming from Old Alley Street with no background, no money, how could I beco a Deputy Staff Director in Xinjie City just one year after its establishnt?"

"And in the Political Departnt, such an important and sensitive departnt at that."

Tian Xiaotian nodded sowhat confusedly, feeling that it made sense.

Seeing that Tian Xiaotian was convinced, Qiu Tu continued, full of pride, "I'll tell you, I've protected the Bureau Chief's mistress, been to the Bureau Chief's villa, and even entered the Bureau Chief's study as a true confidant!"

"That night in the study, there were only the Bureau Chief, Minister Jia, and . From that, you can see how much I'm valued."

"Moreover, Minister Jia also values a lot. Every ti he sees , his eyes are filled with fervent encouragent."

"Even to get accustod to the Political Departnt, on my first day, he personally showed how to dissect prisoners."

"Now, he's handed over the most important case in the Political Departnt to . Tell , if this isn't trust, what is?"

Tian Xiaotian nodded again, still a bit bewildered, feeling that this Deputy Staff Director spoke so pleasantly, everything he said seed right....

And at that mont, since they had reached the topic of the case, Qiu Tu changed the subject and naturally segued into the main issue.

He said, "By the way, Tian, this case seems to be sowhat related to your family."

"It involves your father.... um...."

Halfway through, Qiu Tu seed to realize sothing inappropriate and suddenly stopped speaking.

Could Tian Xiaotian stand being baited like this?

His curiosity was piqued, and he quickly inquired, "Brother Tu, what were you saying just now? This major case is related to my family?"

After saying that, he expressed his confusion, "That shouldn't be the case. My father is on good terms with Minister Jia, how could there be a case related to him?"

Qiu Tu's eyes flickered slightly: the second important piece of information was acquired.

Qiu Tu looked hesitant as if harboring an unspeakable secret.

But under Tian Xiaotian's prompting, he looked around, and at last, whispered, "Brother Tian, this matter is actually a secret. Normally, I shouldn't be telling you."

"But.... I don't know why, even though this is the first ti I've t you today, I feel an incredible affinity for you, as if we knew each other from before."

"So, I'll quietly tell you. But you must promise , you can't tell anyone else. And you can't tell your father either."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiaotian also looked ecstatic as he said to Qiu Tu, "Brother Tu! I feel the sa!"

"For so reason, when I see you, it's like seeing an older brother I've known for many years."

"So, rest assured!" he patted his plump chest and said, "I definitely won't tell anyone!"

Seeing this, Qiu Tu pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, and then he whispered, "It's about your father's mistress."

"A woman nad Yin Caii. She's involved in an important case...."

Next, Qiu Tu detailed the entire case involving Yin Caii to Tian Xiaotian.

Including Yin Caii being a spy for the United Front, including Yin Caii installing various eavesdropping devices. Including Yin Caii being silenced in the Political Departnt.

However, the only difference from reality was... Qiu Tu pinned all this on Vice President Tian.

He whispered, "Let tell you, all these things were actually done by your old man."

"Minister Jia handed this case to to handle the loose ends for your old man."

After saying this, Qiu Tu even winked at Tian Xiaotian.

Perhaps the things Qiu Tu said were too shocking, and after hearing them, Tian Xiaotian was completely stunned on the spot.

His chubby face was filled with shock and disbelief.

After a mont, he stared at Qiu Tu and retorted, "Impossible! My dad could never do such things!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu continued to fra him without a change in expression, "Think about it carefully. If it wasn't your dad who did this, why did he suddenly beco so close with our minister?"

"And why did he suddenly cooperate with the Investigation Bureau and send you to the Investigation Bureau?"

Tian Xiaotian's face kept changing. As a second-generation rich kid just out of his parents' protection, he clearly hadn't adapted to a society full of deceit and intrigue, and thus easily let Qiu Tu control the pace of the conversation.

His expression changed for a long ti, before he finally said, unconvincingly, "Anyway, my dad couldn't have done such things!"

Seeing this, Qiu Tu knew the ti was right, so he soothed, "Xiaotian, you're right. Maybe I jumped to conclusions."

Qiu Tu "sincerely" apologized, "It was the minister who asked to investigate the case and to quickly clear Vice President Tian of suspicion. I had assud that Vice President Tian was the culprit."

"Actually, now that I think about it... maybe the minister is just worried that this matter will affect Vice President Tian's business."

"That's right, that's right! It's very likely the case!" Tian Xiaotian eagerly agreed with Qiu Tu's plausible reasoning.

At this ti, Qiu Tu finally revealed his ultimate goal. He said, "Xiaotian, I know you also don't believe Vice President Tian would do such things."

"So, look, how about we work together to help clear Vice President Tian of suspicion?"

Although Tian Xiaotian was a naive heir from a landlord family and was under the influence of the Mandragora Love Drug, he still had a shred of reason left.

Hearing such a sensitive proposal, he hesitated first, then tentatively inquired, "Brother Tu, what do you want to do?"

Qiu Tu smiled and leaned in, whispering a few words in his ear.

Tian Xiaotian looked at Qiu Tu with a surprised face and asked, "Just that?"

Qiu Tu smiled and nodded, "Yes. Just that."

Tian Xiaotian fell silent for a while, then finally said, "Let think about it first, I'll contact you once I've made up my mind."

Qiu Tu didn't press him, and took out his communicator to exchange numbers with Tian Xiaotian.

After saving each other's numbers, Qiu Tu calculated the ti and realized that the Mandragora Love Drug would wear off in a few minutes. To avoid spoiling the good first impression, he decisively took his leave.

Watching Qiu Tu go, Tian Xiaotian stood in place for a long ti.

The information he got from Qiu Tu was indeed surprising and made him wary.

Especially after the Mandragora Love Drug's influence had worn off and his reason gradually returned, he was not at all certain whether his father was involved in this case.

If his own father really was involved, what then?

By helping Qiu Tu, could he end up harming his own father?

And... was Qiu Tu really a confidant of Yan Chen and Jia Shu as he claid, on his father's side?

With this question, he hesitated, took out his communicator, and made a call.

The call connected, and he whispered, "Butler Shi, help look into soone. Deputy Staff Director Qiu Tu from the Interrogation Section of the Investigation Bureau Political Departnt."

"I want to know about his relationship with Bureau Chief Yan and Minister Jia."

After hanging up, Tian Xiaotian took another deep look in the direction Qiu Tu had left, pondering.

If Qiu Tu really was a confidant of Yan Chen and Jia Shu, then there was no harm in cooperating with him. Even if he did find so clues or issues unfavorable to his father, Qiu Tu could handle it better for him.

And... if Qiu Tu was not a confidant of Yan Chen or Jia Shu, his approach must have another purpose! He must inform his father to avoid any problems!

Thinking this way, and perhaps because the matter was so serious, Tian Xiaotian didn't even feel like bothering with Ah-Tai anymore.

So, he swayed his chubby body and headed towards the other training grounds...

...

anwhile, after bidding farewell to Tian Xiaotian.

Qiu Tu returned to the lobby on the first floor of the Investigation Bureau, then took the elevator up to the 9th floor's Political Departnt.

Once in the Political Departnt, Qiu Tu walked towards the temporary office of his investigative team.

However, just as he got to the office door, he unexpectedly ran into the beautiful young woman Liu Fuping.

Today Liu Fuping was not wearing her uniform but a plain sweater. Though modest, the sweater was unexpectedly form-fitting, revealing her impressive figure in a way that made one's blood race just by looking.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, Liu Fuping smiled and shivered, then raised her hand to greet him.

But, just as she ca within two ters of Qiu Tu, suddenly, there was a brief mont of dizziness in her eyes.

For an instant, she paused slightly, seeming to change.

Qiu Tu keenly noticed the change and rembered that his Mandragora Love Drug would still be effective for another two minutes.

He intended to avoid the enticing young woman before him.

But at that mont, Liu Fuping, with a slightly flushed face, quickly approached him, closed her eyes, and nestled against him to take a sniff.

The gentle breath of the young woman made Qiu Tu feel ticklish.

And it wasn't over yet; after sniffing, Liu Fuping tiptoed closer and whispered in Qiu Tu's ear with a voice that made one's whole body tingle, "Chief... you sll so good."
