Jia Shu, however, seemed oblivious to Liu Fuping's struggles, his face plastered with a fake smile.
"But what truly convinced me that you were a spy was the night of 'Yin Caimei's death'."
"Yin Caimei's life or death is not that important, but it is a good opportunity to test the intelligence agency's moles."
"So... at the investigation bureau's high-level meeting, I deliberately exaggerated the impact of 'Yin Caimei's death' and covered up the cause of her death. I wanted to see just how many spies it would trigger."
"To my surprise, you were the first one to be triggered..."
At this point, Jia Shu's face was filled with disappointment. "Although you are a good interrogator, you are definitely not cut out to be a spy."
"You're too impatient and too impatient."
"A tiny piece of information, a minor probe, and you've completely lost your composure. This is not the quality a competent spy should possess..."
At this point, Jia Shu traced a few lines on Liu Fuping's exquisite face with his scalpel. "So... following the information and problems you've exposed..."
"I only did a simple check and I found out your real identity."
“Before, because the ‘Yin Caimei case’ was still ongoing, it was inconvenient for me to use you as a scapegoat.”
"Now that the 'Yin Caimei case' is completely over, I can finally relax a bit..."
As he spoke, Jia Shu's scalpel traced a graceful arc, almost like a work of art, as it sliced towards Liu Fuping's delicate wrist. It seemed that Jia Shu was preparing to bleed Liu Fuping while slowly dissecting her...
As a result, at this critical moment...
Suddenly! The door to Jia Shu's office was flung open from the outside!
With a muffled "bang!", the door slammed heavily against the wall.
Jia Shu's hand holding the scalpel slowly stopped, without even the slightest tremor.
His smile faded, and he slowly turned around to look at the person who had just arrived.
The person who arrived was none other than Qiu Tu, who had already left the Investigation Bureau building but then returned!
Looking at Qiu Tu, Jia Shu didn't seem to be very surprised.
He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and asked with a forced smile, "Section Chief Qiu... oh, no, I should say Director Qiu. You barged into my office late at night, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Upon hearing Jia Shu's words, Qiu Tu smiled, seemingly displaying a fearless and reckless attitude.
He didn't answer Jia Shu's question, but pointed to Liu Fuping, who was tied to the dissection table, and asked in return, "Then... shouldn't the minister give me an explanation for tying my subordinate to the dissection table in the middle of the night?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's sharp retort, Jia Shu revealed a half-smile on his face, his eyes hidden behind his glasses full of amusement. "Of course."
He pointed to Liu Fuping on the dissection table. "Your subordinate is a spy. I'm interrogating her now..."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu shook his head.
He said, “Minister, that is precisely why I have come to see you.”
"You may have misunderstood. Agent Liu is not a spy."
"A misunderstanding?" Jia Shu's eyes showed interest. "How did I misunderstand?"
The room was brightly lit, but it also cast many shadows, making the entire room seem to be divided and interwoven by light and shadow, appearing particularly eerie and magnificent.
Qiu Tu slowly walked to Liu Fuping's side, supporting her as he said, "Are you trying to say that Detective Liu is a spy sent by the Dongcheng District Political Department?"
Jia Shu looked at Qiu Tu noncommittally.
Qiu Tu said, "This is indeed Detective Liu's previous identity."
"Oh?" Jia Shu adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, looking at Qiu Tu with a half-smile. "Her previous identity? Does she have a new identity now?"
The shadows inside the room seemed to be gradually spreading...
Liu Fuping seemed to sense the impending danger. Her eyes widened, and she kept shaking her head at Qiu Tu, as if signaling him to hurry up and leave.
But... Qiu Tu seemed completely oblivious, calmly replying, "Yes."
"Because... during the 'Yin Caimei case,' I turned Detective Liu to a double agent."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jia Shu laughed, "Director Qiu, do I need to remind you? Even if you're really training or turning spies, you still need official documents on file."
"Furthermore, given your previous rank, you shouldn't have had the authority to plant spies, right?"
Qiu Tu remained remarkably calm. As he unlocked Liu Fuping's handcuffs, he smiled and said, "The minister is right."
"So, at the time, I didn't intend to directly authorize her to become a double agent."
"Instead, we are preparing to report to you and make an application."
At this point, Qiu Tu walked to Liu Fuping's feet and untied her shackles. "But who would have thought that I would get promoted tonight?"
"And my position just happens to give me the authority to plant spies."
"So... I simply wrote an authorization letter myself and created a spy file for Agent Liu."
At this point, Qiu Tu took out a document and showed it to Jia Shu.
Jia Shu glanced at it and saw that it was indeed a legally binding spy file, even bearing Liu Fuping's signature...
At this moment, after showing the documents, Qiu Tu immediately put them away and said, "But... I didn't expect that in just one or two hours, the minister would take away my spy."
"So... in my haste, I barged into the minister's office."
"This was definitely something I did wrong."
After speaking, Qiu Tu bowed slightly to Jia Shu, his face serious, and said, "Therefore... please punish me, Minister!"
At this moment, Liu Fuping, whose handcuffs and shackles had been removed by Qiu Tu, had already hidden behind Qiu Tu, who was bending over.
She gripped Qiu Tu's clothes tightly with both hands, watching nervously as the two men engaged in their power struggle.
Seeing Qiu Tu bow and accept his punishment, Jia Shu remained silent. He simply stared at Qiu Tu, watching quietly...
He stared at it for five or six seconds, then a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Then he threw the scalpel into its case, took off his rubber gloves, and helped Qiu Tu up, saying with a forced smile, "Director Qiu, you flatter me."
"There's no reason to punish them. It's all a misunderstanding."
At this point, he glanced at Liu Fuping and said with a half-smile, "Also, Detective Liu, I have to criticize you as well."
"Now that you're one of us, you should take the initiative to state your identity."
"You've been keeping quiet all this time, isn't that deliberately creating a misunderstanding between me and Director Qiu?"
Liu Fuping was genuinely terrified of Jia Shu, this pervert. So she wanted to help Qiu Tu lie, but after opening her mouth several times, she still couldn't utter a word.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu also smiled and said, "Minister, you can't blame Agent Liu. Look, she can't even speak now."
"After all, who doesn't know the minister's formidable reputation in the New Territories?"
"Hahaha." Hearing Qiu Tu's praise, Jia Shu chuckled twice with a forced smile.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu didn't dare to stay any longer and suggested leaving, "Minister, if there's nothing else, we'll be going now. We still have a lot of work to do."
Upon hearing this, Jia Shu nonchalantly picked up a remote control and pressed a button. Then, while watching the dissection table slowly descend, he said with a forced smile, "Go ahead, go ahead."
Seeing this, Qiu Tu grabbed Liu Fuping's hand and strode away from Jia Shu's office without looking back.
After Qiu Tu left, the dissection table was completely lowered.
With his back to the office door, Jia Shu's eyes had turned completely bloodshot...
A sickly smile appeared on his face. "Heh heh heh. The fruit is finally ripe..."
"I really have to thank the director and Liu Fuping, hehehe..."
......
at the same time.
After leaving Jia Shu's office, Qiu Tu grabbed Liu Fuping and started running.
Qiu Tu finally breathed a sigh of relief after running out of the ninth floor and taking the elevator.
Seeing Qiu Tu like this, Liu Fuping's pale face gradually regained color, and her body gradually regained sensation.
She bit her fiery red lips, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qiu Tu, and asked softly, "You... have you seen the ring I lost?"
"A ring? What ring?" Qiu Tu took a few deep breaths before looking at Liu Fuping with a strange expression.
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping was a little puzzled, "It's... the ring I'm wearing today."
"You didn't see my lost ring? Then how...how did you know I was in trouble?"
Hearing Liu Fuping's question, Qiu Tu smiled and then casually teased, "What else could it be? Of course, it's because we're telepathically connected..."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping smiled and gently patted Qiu Tu, "The commander knows how to speak."
Watching Liu Fuping gradually return to normal, Qiu Tu's gaze drifted into the distance...
Actually, the fact that he was able to come and save Liu Fuping can only be described as a coincidence.
Yesterday, which was Sunday morning.
When Liu Fuping took Qiu Tu to see Jia Shu, Qiu Tu tested the catastrophic creature [Silver Key Hive] he obtained through the "Salvage Game" on her!
These catastrophic creatures can follow, monitor, and record everything that happens to an object or organism over 36 hours.
Qiu Tu used it at exactly 10:30 AM. (Chapter 130)
Tonight, when Qiu Tu comforted Bai Ru and saw her off from the Investigation Bureau building, it was exactly 10:30 p.m., exactly 36 hours after he used this catastrophic creature.
So... just as Qiu Tu was about to drive to find Tang Feifei, the silver key bee returned to Qiu Tu's side from Liu Fuping's place.
Because this was the first time they were testing this catastrophic creature, Qiu Tu, sitting in the car, curiously checked what Liu Fuping had been doing for the past day and a half.
As it turned out... he happened to witness the scenes of Liu Fuping being taken away and threatened by Jia Shu...
At that moment, Qiu Tu was truly stunned.
He was also hesitant at the time, wondering whether he should take the risk to save Liu Fuping.
But later... a detail about Jia Shu in the scene made Qiu Tu make up his mind.

Chapter 150 (10,000 words, please subscribe!)
In the scene, Jia Shu has been chatting with Liu Fuping ever since he called her to his office.
They asked her about her recent work, her recent life, and her recent health, but... they didn't ask about anything related to Liu Fuping being a spy.
Although his expression and actions showed no abnormality, Qiu Tu, who knew Jia Shu's character well, was 100% certain that Jia Shu was stalling for time.
After more than half an hour of delay, just as the time for the Silver Key Bee was about to expire, Jia Shu finally took out handcuffs and shackles and handcuffed Liu Fuping.
The whole process... seemed like it was deliberately staged for Qiu Tu's benefit.
After noticing this detail, although Qiu Tu was unwilling to admit it, after thinking it over, he felt that there was only one possibility to explain Jia Shu's behavior.
That is... Jia Shu knew that Liu Fuping possessed the Silver Key Bee. He even knew exactly when the Silver Key Bee was placed.
Following this conclusion, Qiu Tu came to even more chilling speculations:
For example... Jia Shu had been monitoring him at least yesterday, which is why Jia Shu knew all of Qiu Tu's actions and knew that Qiu Tu was testing the Silver Key Bee on Liu Fuping.
So... following this line of reasoning, Jia Shu's behavior today becomes very intriguing.
After the "Yin Caimei case" ended, he neither went into hiding nor chose to attack Qiu Tu, but instead chose to take action against Liu Fuping.
This is clearly a case of ulterior motives; they're trying to force Qiu Tu to make a choice.
Choose to save yourself and watch Liu Fuping die; or... choose to save Liu Fuping, expose your own "weakness," and fall into Jia Shu's trap.
It's important to understand that while Qiu Tu was meticulous and thorough in his work, leaving no room for any wrongdoing, Liu Fuping had far too many problems. A simple spy file could only protect Liu Fuping for the time being.
There are far too many points about Liu Fuping that could be used against her.
Therefore, once Qiu Tu saves Liu Fuping, Jia Shu can use Liu Fuping to control Qiu Tu.
Didn't Qiu Tu "turn" Liu Fuping into a spy tonight, thus erasing all previous grievances?
So, if Liu Fuping sends another piece of intelligence to Dongcheng, Jia Shu will have a reason to launch another attack!
Moreover, every time Liu Fuping delivers intelligence, Jia Shu can launch an attack.
Unless Qiu Tu always cleans up Liu Fuping's messes, claiming that Qiu Tu was the one who relayed the messages, Liu Fuping's life and death are truly in Jia Shu's hands.
