Then let them offer their loyalty!

Upon hearing the detective's words, the temporary office gradually quieted down. Everyone looked at each other, somewhat unsure who this person was looking for.

Finally, it was Liu Fuping, who was holding Qiu Tu, who took the initiative to speak. Her beautiful eyes looked at the detective, and she parted her lips slightly, "Director Qiu? Which Director Qiu? We only have Section Chief Qiu Tu here."

Upon hearing Liu Fuping's words, the detective immediately said with a look of surprise, "Yes, yes, it's Director Qiu Tu. I'm looking for him."

The office fell silent again upon hearing the detective's words.

Everyone's mind raced.

Wait a minute, the Investigation Department is a disciplined force. Every title and rank is extremely strict, and you can't just call them whatever you want.

The other party called Qiu Tu by name, but continued to address him as "section chief"...

so...

Has the sir been promoted yet again?

For a moment, everyone was somewhat shocked.

And... a section chief?!

The superior officer was previously a deputy section chief, so how did he get promoted to division chief?

For a moment, everyone present felt like their CPUs were being overheated.

Therefore, whether it was Liu Fuping, Song Qing, Cao Dabiao, Chen Feng, Ding Xiaoliu, or Wang Xi, everyone's eyes were constantly glancing at Qiu Tu, wanting to see his reaction.

And figure out... exactly what position Qiu Tu was promoted to.

Qiu Tu was also a little surprised at this moment.

Although he guessed that Yan Chen would definitely promote him and give him a raise after the "Yin Caimei case" was settled.

But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and I also didn't expect the time difference to be so large.

He certainly didn't expect Yan Chen to promote him to [Deputy Minister] in one fell swoop, but... a few days ago, he had simply listed a few directions in which he could be promoted.

Among them, the position most likely to be associated with the word "deputy director" is the deputy director of the operations department.

Thinking about the power that position represented, Qiu Tu couldn't help but feel a little excited...

'Old Yan is really that capable? It seems... I really underestimated him!'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu, though inwardly excited, calmly addressed the detective at the door, "I am Qiu Tu. What can I do for you?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the detective smiled and said, "Minister Shi of the Personnel Department requests your presence."

Qiu Tu gave a faint "hmm" upon hearing this, then stood up and followed the detective out of the temporary office.

After Qiu Tu left, the investigation team's temporary office was quiet for a few seconds before suddenly erupting in chaos.

Qiu Tu's subordinates were all excited. Whether it was Cao Dabiao, Ding Xiaoliu, or even Song Qing, they were all discussing it wildly, "Deputy Minister? The commander got promoted again?"

"Which department's deputy director? It shouldn't be a two-level jump, right? So which department is it?"

After discussing this for a while, several well-informed people went out to inquire about the news.

There are never any secrets in government departments, especially when it comes to things like promotions.

So, not long after, Qiu Tu's extravagant appointment was presented to all members of the investigation team:

The position is at the section chief level, equivalent to the deputy head of the operations department, but the scope of authority is the same as that of former Deputy Chief Qin Zhengguang...

This exaggerated yet intriguing appointment left Qiu Tu's subordinates speechless.

After a long while, Song Qing, who was fearless and a bit headstrong, spoke first.

She tilted her head and said curiously, "Why do I feel like... this is the real Deputy Minister?"

Her words almost represented the sentiments of everyone.

Therefore, Chen Feng remained silent, while Cao Dabiao and Ding Xiaoliu exchanged a glance.

Meanwhile... Liu Fuping was also resting her chin on her hand, her face flushed, her eyes flickering, lost in thought...

Not only were they all shocked by the appointment, but even Qiu Tu, who was receiving his appointment in the personnel department, was somewhat dumbfounded after learning the truth about his role...

At that moment, he even wondered if he had been bewitched by some of the high-ranking officials in the Investigation Bureau.

How did Yan Chen come up with such an exaggerated appointment?

How did those high-level officials approve it?

Qiu Tu was a little confused...

The visit to the HR department was just a formality.

Inquire about the situation, verify the files, inform the new appointment, and replace the shoulder insignia...

By the time everything was finished, it was already 9 p.m.

Since Qiu Tu's file was still in the Political Department, he didn't need to change his uniform, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After completing the entire process, Qiu Tuxin left the HR department with her feet pounding, her face beaming with barely suppressed joy!

Leaving the HR department, Qiu Tu stood quietly by the window on the 8th-floor corridor for a while. Looking at the dark New Territories, the pitch-black world, Qiu Tu knew this would only be the beginning of his career, not the end...

After taking a few deep breaths to control his excitement, Qiu Tu pondered for a moment and decided to return to the investigation team's temporary office first.

Although he has been promoted, there are still some unresolved issues in the "Yin Caimei case".

The archiving of evidence and clues, the transfer of prisoners, the release of Bai Ru...

After several days of investigation, neither the security department nor Qiu Tu found any illegal or criminal activity by this woman.

Tragically, her father and husband were both key accomplices in the case, one receiving the death penalty and the other a life sentence.

Therefore, Qiu Tu also needs to comfort this young woman...

Otherwise, he was really afraid that this woman wouldn't make it...

...

Upon arriving at the temporary office, I had just pushed open the door when I heard a loud "Bang!" of fireworks!

Countless ribbons exploded in the air, and Cao Dabiao, Ding Xiaoliu, and the others rushed over laughing, hugged Qiu Tu, and chattered about congratulating him.

They were the happiest when Qiu Tu was transferred to the Operations Department as Deputy Director.

After all, this would make Qiu Tu their direct superior, and their future prospects were predictable.

In contrast, Liu Fuping, Song Qing, and Wang Xi all had different attitudes.

As a spy, Liu Fuping didn't care which department Qiu Tu worked in. In fact, the higher Qiu Tu rose in rank, the happier she became.

So she sat on the desk with her pert bottom, arms crossed, watching everyone play around with a smile.

Song Qing, however, was a little annoyed. After all, it was rare to find a superior like Qiu Tu who got along well with her and both liked to slack off.

After Qiu Tu left, she couldn't believe how difficult her days in the interrogation department would be...

As for Wang Xi...

To be honest, he had the most complicated feelings among everyone.

Because along with Qiu Tu's promotion, another piece of news also came to everyone's attention.

That is, Qiu Tu was appointed as the head of the investigation team for the "August 8.16th Pharmacy Robbery Case"...

Others might not know the details of this case, but Wang Xi did. After all... he was one of the two criminals.

What's even more troublesome is that... during this time, Wang Xi has witnessed all sorts of amazing abilities of Qiu Tu.

Whether it was his seemingly prophetic crime-solving or his uncanny ability to plan and strategize, it all made him realize how terrifying Qiu Tu was...

Therefore, he was genuinely worried that Qiu Tu might actually solve the case and catch him...

Thinking this, the faint light in his eyes began to flicker incessantly, as if it were alive...

As his mind raced, a series of notifications suddenly popped up in front of Qiu Tu, who was surrounded by the crowd.

"Trigger crisis awareness! Generate a crisis report!"

"Attention! Because of the believers' fear, you have been targeted by the evil god Lariro!"

"Attention! Because of the believers' fear, you have been targeted by the evil god Lariro!"

"Attention! Because of the believers' fear, you have been targeted by the evil god Lariro!"

These three simple prompts, without any other notes, are more chilling than any crisis warning!

Even more terrifying, an hourglass without a specific countdown timer slowly appeared in the upper left corner of Qiu Tu's vision.

Where the time should be displayed, "∞" is now shown instead.

'Is this... infinity?'

Seeing the newly popped-up crisis alert, with a time symbol completely different from the countdown hourglass, Qiu Tu was a little confused.

As he laughed and continued celebrating with the crowd, his mind raced, processing the information revealed by his keen sense of crisis...

Triggering the "crisis sense" proved that the gaze of this evil god could indeed pose a life-threatening threat to him.

However... the "crisis report" and "positive infinity" symbol without any prior indication seem to represent something else entirely.

Is it that the cheat system can't analyze the threat of the evil god? Or... is it that this gaze, while potentially fatal, won't affect me for the time being?

Because the information was somewhat limited, Qiu Tu was still a little confused about the message being conveyed to him by this "crisis alert"...

However, what he could understand was... that Wang Xi was the one who triggered all of this.

'It seems that my investigation into the pharmacy robbery frightened Wang Xi, causing him to panic and thus attracting the attention of the evil god.'

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's mind raced slightly. Taking advantage of the harmonious atmosphere, he smiled and said, "It seems everyone knows about my promotion."

"Don't worry, everyone. I won't take all the credit. Once I'm settled, I'll find a way to help everyone get promoted!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became even more enthusiastic.

At this moment, Qiu Tu also said, "In addition, as you all know, the director and the minister have also assigned me a new case, namely the [August 8.16th Pharmacy Robbery Case]."

"Although there is already an investigation team for that case, I have a good working relationship with everyone, so I was thinking of transferring everyone over to continue the investigation."

What are everyone's thoughts?

As he spoke, Qiu Tu called out a few names, "Da Biao, you wouldn't refuse to come, would you?"

Cao Dabiao chuckled, his face slick with smugness, and said, "How could that be! If the officer calls me, I'll definitely go!"

Qiu Tu patted him on the shoulder with a smile, then looked at Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, what about you?"

Chen Feng's usually expressionless face broke into a rare smile. "I will obey the superior's orders!"

Qiu Tu smiled and looked at Liu Fuping, "Sister Liu...?"

Liu Fuping rolled her eyes at Qiu Tu in a charming way, "Even if you hadn't called me, I would have insisted on going."

At this moment, without Qiu Tu even calling out names, the girl Song Qing excitedly jumped out, pulling Wang Xi along, "Sir! Me! We! We want to go too!"

Wang Xi, who had been pulled out by Song Qing, clearly looked insincere, but under everyone's gaze, he could only force a smile and say, "Yes, sir, I still have us..."

Seeing this, Qiu Tu gave them a meaningful smile, "Since you're so proactive, then... of course I won't let you down. The investigation team will include both of you!"

For some reason, Wang Xi felt a sudden jolt in his heart, as if... Qiu Tu seemed to know something.

While the office was bustling with activity, like a sea of ​​joy.

"Buzz—" The communicator in Liu Fuping's pocket vibrated twice: someone had sent a text message.

Liu Fuping smiled and turned her gaze away from the cheerful atmosphere in the office, then took out her communicator to take a look.

With just a glance, her eyes lit up slightly. Because... the text message was from Tang Feifei.

'Could it be that Director Tang finally remembered to contact me?'

With that thought in mind, Liu Fuping opened the text message with great anticipation.

The result... was just a simple sentence: "Help me arrange a meeting with Qiu Tu; tell him I'd like to invite him to my villa for dinner tonight..."

Liu Fuping: ?
