Then let them offer their loyalty!

Just then, Qiu Tu suddenly interrupted him, "Alright, old man, you're already in your fifties, why are you still putting on airs in front of a young man like me? Aren't you tired?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Cheng's pupils visibly contracted, and his body stiffened for a moment.

But then he pretended to be puzzled and looked at Qiu Tu, "Section Chief Qiu, what are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean."

Qiu Tu looked at him expressionlessly and analyzed without any politeness, "After I exposed your identity, your pupils contracted slightly and you blinked three times in a row. Your lips were tightly pursed, and your body swayed slightly involuntarily."

"This proves that you are nervous and uneasy. You are in a state of vigilance."

"Heh." Qin Cheng chuckled dryly. "Detective Qiu, I don't understand what you're talking about."

"I am who I am, not some old man."

At this point, he looked at Qiu Tu and said seriously, "Today you forcibly broke into my home, drove away my... well, friend. You threatened me with a gun and demanded a bribe."

“I will write all of these down and then file complaints with the Investigation Department and the Municipal Council!”

"Even though our Qin family is facing difficulties now, so many families throughout the New Territories are watching."

"The Qin family also made great contributions to the establishment of the shelter in the New Territories."

“If our family has really made a mistake, we will accept any punishment the asylum gives us.”

“But I believe that the major families in the New Territories will not just stand by and watch as unrelated family members like me suffer such unequal treatment!”

"I'll see if the Investigation Bureau can protect you then!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "When you were saying the first part of your sentence, your eyes glanced to the left; your body turned slightly in another direction to reduce direct contact with me; your body movements were retracted, and you were subconsciously protecting yourself."

"This means you are lying."

"And when you were saying the second half of your sentence, your hands clenched slightly, your body tensed, and your tone rose. This shows that you were trying to suppress your unease and intimidate me."

"Old man, you have too many flaws... Do you still want to continue?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's interrogation tactics, Qin Cheng seemed to recall the fear he had felt being controlled by the security department over the past two days...

The security department had been interrogating him day and night for the past two days, which had truly exhausted him both physically and mentally. That's why, during his "free time," he called three girls to relax.

But who knew that before he could even relax, the Political Department barged in, and that damned Qiu Tu actually came to his house to interrogate him!

If it only went this far, "Qin Cheng" probably wouldn't easily admit defeat. After all, the worst that could happen was facing two interrogations simultaneously.

However... as a powerful figure who single-handedly propelled the Qin family into the top three in the New Territories, even with the family's resources and the support of anti-government forces, Old Master Qin's abilities weren't exceptionally high. But... after so many years in the underworld, he still possessed a keen eye for talent.

Therefore, he was absolutely certain that Qiu Tu wasn't lying to him. He truly knew his identity and his secret.

Faced with this young section chief who single-handedly instigated a massive purge in the New Territories, Old Master Qin knew that there was no point in continuing to hold on.

So, thinking this, he took a deep breath, slowly relaxed, and straightened his back, which had been hunched over from flattery.

He finally stopped pretending and looked at Qiu Tu with indifferent eyes, asking, "How did you know my identity?"

After saying that, he paused for a moment, then asked himself with certainty, "Was it Yongdong who leaked the secret?"

"He must have told Xiaoru my secret. And then you interrogated him and found out, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu looked with great interest at Old Master Qin, whose temperament and expression seemed to have changed completely, and felt that things were finally getting interesting.

However... he found it interesting. But Liu Fuping and Chen Feng inside the room didn't find it interesting at all. They just felt like they were falling behind, their CPUs were about to overheat...

At first, they watched with calm and detached amusement as Qiu Tu relentlessly extorted Qin Cheng, the last remaining son of the Qin family.

Because they trusted Qiu Tu, they didn't believe that he had made such a long trip just to rip off a rich second-generation heir who was going through a major crisis.

Therefore, they were waiting for Qiu Tu to make his move, wanting to see what secrets Qin Cheng was hiding.

As a result... when Qiu Tu called Qin Cheng "Grandpa", they were already a little confused.

What old man? Who is the old man?

Is this teenager in front of me the old man?

At this moment, their heads were filled with question marks.

So when Qin Cheng finally admitted that he was "the old man", the two of them were completely dumbfounded.

They were like underachievers in math class; in the time it took them to bend down to pick something up, "1+1=2" on the blackboard turned into "Goldbach's Conjecture"!

They felt as if they hadn't missed anything, and the "problem" was still the same "problem," but the whole process and development were completely different!

With that in mind, they quickly reviewed the conversation between Qiu Tu and Qin Cheng.

Both men were considered elites in the political department, and their abilities were quite good. Therefore, considering the conversation between Qiu Tu and Old Master Qin, and the names of key characters such as "Yongdong" and "Xiaoru" revealed by Old Master Qin...

Soon, a bold guess came to mind!

'This teenager in front of me is none other than the once-powerful Old Master Qin from the New Territories?!'

'What the hell is going on?!'

Thinking about this, they immediately thought of another question: How did their superior know?!

Why did he come to see this old man who had come back from the dead?!

Thinking this way, the two of them really felt that their superior was shrouded in mystery!

So they immediately pricked up their ears and didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing any crucial information!

At this moment, Qiu Tu did not give any answer to Old Master Qin's question.

He was the interrogator, not the prisoner, and had no obligation to answer Old Master Qin's questions.

So he started a new topic directly, probing, "Is the old man adapting well to this new body?"

"What is it like to have two bodies?"

...

Meanwhile.

Outside the villa.

The dark figure carrying a worn-out rifle and wearing goggles easily entered the villa's garden along the wall.

He seemed to possess some kind of [invisibility] catastrophic ability, so when the agents scanned his hiding place several times, they could not see him at all.

And so, using the shadows and corners, the dark figure successfully bypassed the patrol of the eight agents and the sight of the three handcuffed young women, and successfully infiltrated the villa...

Once inside the villa, he noticeably became much more subdued.

He carefully moved toward the living room, following the shadows along the wall.

Soon, he arrived at the living room door and met Cao Dabiao and two other detectives.

Chapter 138 The other party has sent you a party invitation (10,000 words, please subscribe!)

At this moment, Cao Dabiao was at the entrance of the living room, chatting casually with Ding Xiaoliu and Zhu Huoyan while keeping watch.

Because there were several groups of agents on guard outside the villa, the three of them were not so vigilant.

Ding Xiaoliu leaned against the wall, peeked into the living room through the crack in the door, and then asked in a simple-minded manner, "Brother Biao, I vaguely heard that it seems like it's the commander's birthday today."

"Shouldn't we prepare a gift for him too?"

Upon hearing Ding Xiaoliu's words, Cao Dabiao slapped Ding Xiaoliu on the head and said in a low voice, "Are you stupid?!"

"The comrade could have a birthday any day of the year, but not today!"

"He said it was his birthday, he was obviously trying to rip off that Master Qin!"

"If we don't come up with a reason, wouldn't that be too embarrassing!"

At this point, Cao Dabiao leaned against the wall, looking like a "veteran," and explained to Ding Xiaoliu, "Let me tell you, the officer is the one who understands. This kind of thing happens in every city. If we don't eat it, others will."

"Let alone the Qin family, even those high-ranking department heads and committee members, if they can't survive this calamity, their family property and wives and daughters will be completely devoured by everyone in the New Territories."

"The biggest profits are eaten up by those above, the scraps are taken by us, and even the leftovers are cleaned up by neighbors or underground gangs."

"Anyway... this is a cannibalistic world. No matter how high and mighty you were yesterday, if you fall today, countless people will want to eat your flesh, drink your blood, and suck your marrow from your bones."

After listening to Cao Dabiao's words, Ding Xiaoliu looked at Cao Dabiao with admiration and said, "Brother Biao, you know so much."

Upon hearing this, Cao Dabiao smiled smugly and boasted, "I heard it from my uncle who is the deputy section chief in Dongcheng City."

“Their Dongcheng City was established a year and a half earlier than ours, and they’ve been through all sorts of bloody storms.”

"Many of our experiences are very useful to us."

At this point, Cao Dabiao lowered his head again and said in a low voice, "According to my uncle, the first one to three years after a city is established is the time when the middle and upper classes are most frequently reshuffled."

"Many of the contradictions that were suppressed at the beginning of the city’s establishment have begun to erupt. After the original families and forces in the city gradually adapted to the rules of the planned area, they also began to try to compete for power and profit with the middle and upper-level people who came from the shelter."

"Therefore, many forces and families may be wiped out, and many officials may be brought down. And at such times, it is the time for the strong to be sifted out!"

"As long as you can choose the right side and follow the right people in the next two years, you will experience tremendous growth!"

Upon hearing Cao Dabiao's words, Ding Xiaoliu suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I see. No wonder I've recently heard people say that those important figures in [Longshan Dao] seem to be..."

While Cao Dabiao and Ding Xiaoliu were chatting, a dark figure silently lurked not far from them, overhearing their entire conversation.

He didn't pay attention to the analysis that Cao Dabiao's uncle gave later, but focused mainly on the first half of Cao Dabiao's words.

Is the target blackmailing Old Master Qin?

'That's good news. It seems Elder Qin's identity hasn't been exposed...'

'Then I'll have to be careful when I make my move, I can't expose Elder Qin...'

Thinking this, he estimated the distance between Cao Dabiao and the other two and the door; it was only half a meter. His [Cataclysmic Ability] couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be exposed at this distance.

Fortunately, he was familiar with the layout of the villa, so he glanced around the hallway, then quietly crept along the wall towards the other side of the living room...

.....

Meanwhile, in the villa's living room, Qiu Tu and Old Master Qin continued their tit-for-tat confrontation.

Living in this body of a teenager, apart from having a deeper and more reserved gaze, Old Master Qin showed no difference from a young man in terms of expression and vitality.

Hearing Qiu Tu's question, he smiled and said, "This is my own genetically cloned body, so of course I feel no discomfort staying here."

"As for how it feels... it's definitely a feeling of youth I've never experienced before!"

"My skin no longer has those disgusting age spots and wrinkles, my teeth are no longer loose, and my joints no longer ache when it's cloudy or rainy! Even... my penis has plenty of energy every day!"

At this point, he looked at Qiu Tu, his desire practically bursting forth in his eyes, "Do you understand that feeling... of being forced awake every morning?!"

"Do you know what it feels like to have sex with several women and still be full of energy and vitality?"

"Do you understand the way women plead and adore each other?!"

Qiu Tu: .....

He shook his head slightly and advised, "Old man, in this world, there are gains and losses. You have gained this ability, but you will definitely lose more things as well."

Grandpa Qin laughed heartily, "Yes! I've lost old age, I've lost embarrassment, and I've lost worries!"

After speaking, Old Master Qin looked at Qiu Tu earnestly and said, "Qiu Tu, you are still young. You can't understand how desperate a person feels when they grow old and their life comes to an end..."

"I'm willing to give anything to survive, to regain my youth!"

"That's why I made a deal with 'God'."

At this point, he looked at Chen Feng standing beside him and Liu Fuping standing beside Qiu Tu, and said in a devout tone, "Today, now that you know the information about 'God,' it means that you are destined to be with 'God.'"

"Therefore, I can give you a chance to bathe in divine light!"

"Don't worry, simply bathing in 'divine light' doesn't mean you need to believe in 'God'!"

"Once you experience the joy it brings, you will naturally and willingly dedicate your loyalty to 'God'!"

Qiu Tu: ....

Qiu Tu felt like there was something wrong with his ears, as if they could automatically translate certain words.

Bathing in divine light? Judging from the methods of the "god" that Old Master Qin believes in... isn't this just like someone sending you an invitation to a "silver party"?!

This is insane... If I didn't need to be bathed in "divine light" to receive this kind of invitation, Qiu Tu would definitely run faster than anyone else!

After all, he was a man who would never forgive gambling and drugs!

However... upon hearing that he was to be bathed in "divine light," Qiu Tu felt uneasy.
