Then let them offer their loyalty!

Politics is, in essence, the art of compromise...

After seeing the three inspectors off, Tang Feifei closed her office door and analyzed to Qiu Tu, "This should have been Jia Shu's way out for himself."

“He hasn’t crossed that red line for the past few months, just to avoid being caught and having no way to recover.”

Qiu Tu nodded and commented, "He's very cunning. More cunning than most people..."

Hearing Qiu Tu's assessment, Tang Feifei smiled and squinted at him, "But you're not simple either."

Tang Feifei strode back to her desk with her long legs, sat down, and said, "Tell me, what other plans do you have?"

"From what I know of you, you're not the kind of person who truly has a sense of justice and fairness."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu feigned surprise and said, "Feifei, I didn't expect you to have such a big misunderstanding about me?!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but ask, "So what image do I have in your mind?"

Tang Feifei squinted, staring intently at Qiu Tu, "Bull, he seems to have inexhaustible energy."

Qiu Tu:? ?

That's like risking your life, okay?

For some reason, Qiu Tu felt that he had recently provoked Tang Feifei a bit too much, and that she might be in danger.

The scariest thing about people isn't showing off, it's realizing after showing off that they're actually pretty incompetent...

'It seems I need to get promoted as soon as possible and improve my skills and stamina, otherwise I won't be able to withstand Tang Feifei's exploitation a few more times....'

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu decisively changed the subject. He said, "Inspector Tang is quite nice."

"Although they were a bit lukewarm at first, their advice and support later on showed that they were a very nice person."

Tang Feifei's eyes narrowed with laughter—this woman was an ice queen in front of outsiders, but her expressions were incredibly rich in front of Qiu Tu.

"He is my uncle."

Qiu Tu's face showed a hint of understanding, but he was not surprised.

There isn't that much unprovoked "hate" or "love" in this world.

Qiu Tu had a feeling something was off when he saw that Inspector Tang was indifferent to him and Tang Feifei.

After learning his surname, Qiu Tu had a hunch. That's when he dared to test the waters.

As for the end... when Inspector Tang suddenly decided to promote Qiu Tu, and even gave Qiu Tu some profound advice despite their casual acquaintance, Qiu Tu completely saw through the other party's true identity.

After all, she wasn't a succubus who could make a stranger fall in love with her and treat her like a junior after just one meeting.

Therefore, there's only one explanation: the inspector surnamed Tang is a family member of Tang Feifei, and he may have known about his special relationship with Tang Feifei...

This explains the change in the other person.

'This is fucking ridiculous... No matter what world you're in, you need connections.'

'Fortunately... I'm actually benefiting from this now.'

Thinking this through and having verified his guess, Qiu Tu calmly stood up, said goodbye to Tang Feifei, and said, "Alright, Director, I'll go back to work now."

"Although Jia Shu has been arrested, the case is not closed yet."

"If I want Yan Chen to not object to my promotion, I still need to do some other work."

Tang Feifei smiled at Qiu Tu, expressing her satisfaction that Qiu Tu had guessed Tang's identity so early.

Only when partners are smart enough can you feel at ease.

However, she was quite curious about how Qiu Tu had managed to persuade Yan Chen not to object to the promotion, and she couldn't help but ask, "You have a plan?"

Qiu Tu smiled and pointed to his head, saying confidently, "I've already thought it through."

After saying that, he smiled brightly, turned around and left gracefully.

It has to be said that his already handsome appearance, coupled with his black uniform, riding boots, and confident, swaggering words, made him incredibly attractive.

Tang Feifei, like a female leopard spotting its prey, narrowed her eyes as she watched Qiu Tu's retreating figure, her heart pounding rapidly...

Isn't this more fun than Liu Fuping's gentle and charming ways?

...

After leaving Tang Feifei's office, Qiu Tu walked towards the elevator.

The reporting time had probably passed. There were far fewer section chiefs and department heads waiting in the corridor. This also meant that Qiu Tu received far fewer strange looks.

However, it's believed that it won't be long before the news of Qiu Tu's defection to Tang Feifei spread throughout the entire Investigation Bureau.

This was exactly what Qiu Tu wanted.

The harder you suppress it now, the higher it will rebound later.

Just as Qiu Tu was analyzing the situation, Secretary Bai brought a section chief into Yan Chen's office and then came out.

Seeing Qiu Tu waiting for the elevator, he looked over.

Qiu Tu noticed that gaze and looked up.

Their eyes met across the corridor, and although they didn't say a word, there was a tacit understanding between them.

"Ding."

The elevator has arrived.

Qiu Tu withdrew his gaze and stepped onto the elevator.

As the elevator doors closed, Qiu Tu vaguely heard someone fawning over Secretary Bai and badmouthing him.

"Secretary Bai, don't be angry. That kind of ungrateful wretch will get his comeuppance sooner or later. Hehehe."

"By the way, Secretary Bai, our police station has never been fully equipped. We've applied to Section Chief Huang several times, but he just won't approve it."

"Secretary Bai, could you please... approve this?"

Secretary Bai smiled brightly, "Director Tian, ​​you have to understand, there are reasons why some things aren't approved."

"Did you say something wrong and offend Section Chief Huang?"

He patted the director on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "There are so many secrets in the department, sometimes it's important to keep your mouth shut, because you might offend someone with just one sentence."

After saying that, he turned and went back to his office.

Upon hearing Secretary Bai's words, the chubby director looked completely bewildered. "That can't be. I've barely even spoken to Section Chief Huang. How could I possibly have offended him...?"

After muttering a few words to himself, the director saw Secretary Bai leave and quickly chased after her, "Secretary Bai, Secretary Bai, let's talk some more, let's talk some more..."

The elevator doors slowly closed. Qiu Tu's lips curled into a slight smile... Old Bai is still Old Bai after all.

He took the elevator back to the second-floor security office. Qiu Tu walked towards the investigation team's office, intending to talk to Liu Fuping, Committee Member Jiang's "liaison officer."

In the New Territories, the only ones who could make Yan Chen compromise were Committee Member Jiang and General Ye, who were also among the three giants.

Qiu Tu had already given Committee Member Jiang such a generous gift, so it was time to recoup some of his "rewards."

Moreover, this also helps to enhance the relationship between the two parties.

To quickly increase someone's favorability, you can never give unilaterally; instead, you must ask for things back from time to time.

In fact, most of the time, "taking" is more effective in enhancing relationships than "giving".

Moreover, Qiu Tu needs Liu Fuping to act as a go-between to completely eliminate Jia Shu...

Chapter 181 (10,000 words, please subscribe!)

Perhaps because it was right around the end of the workday, there were many detectives saying goodbye or walking out in the corridor of the police station.

Compared to the Political Department, the Public Security Bureau has less power, but its work is also easier. Therefore, it's not as stressful as the Political Department, especially the Interrogation Section.

Everywhere you can see agents leaving get off work on time, some even with smiles on their faces.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu in his black political department uniform with one bar and two flowers on his shoulder, they immediately recognized him as Qiu Tu, who had recently become incredibly popular within the investigation department.

So, in a short time, Qiu Tu not only received many greetings, but also had a lot of small notes in his hand.

Some were genuinely trying to curry favor and get promoted, while others were less legitimately trying to use connections as a tool for advancement...

After all, given Qiu Tu's age and current position, his future is virtually limitless. Therefore, becoming his wife is far better than being his subordinate. This is the shortcut to truly latching onto Qiu Tu's powerful connections.

In order not to disappoint the agents who had shown him favor, Qiu Tu collected all the notes, intending to screen them later to see if there were any usable talents.

We made our way through the crowd to the investigation team's office.

As Qiu Tu pushed open the door, he bumped right into someone.

Qiu Tu, as a catastrophic individual, was unharmed, but the person who bumped into him staggered a few steps and almost fell.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu instinctively reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her into his arms.

"Ouch. Sir, are you made of stone? You're so hard."

It was clearly the young girl, Song Qing, who bumped into Qiu Tu. Rubbing her sore shoulder, she pouted and preemptively accused Qiu Tu, "I'm injured. I can't go to work tomorrow."

"Sir, grant me a day off."

Qiu Tu laughed when he heard this. He released his arm around Song Qing's slender waist and said, "You always find excuses not to go to work."

"Alright, I'll grant you a day off tomorrow. You don't need to come in."

Seeing that Qiu Tu had actually agreed, Song Qing's eyes lit up. She said with a grin, "Thank you, sir! You're the best! May your home be filled with happiness, and your affairs with beautiful women on the side!"

Qiu Tu was truly exasperated by Song Qing's antics. He flicked Song Qing on the forehead and jokingly scolded, "What are you talking about? Let's go home now."

Song Qing chuckled, made a face at Qiu Tu, then grabbed her bag and dashed out of the office.

Seeing her pitiful state, Qiu Tu thought for a moment, then called out to her again, "Song Qing."

Hearing Qiu Tu's call, Song Qing turned around, tilted her head with a blank expression, and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Qiu Tu said seriously, "Try to avoid contact with strange men these next few days. Don't forget about Wang Xi and Jia Wei; the evil god hasn't left yet."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's instructions, Song Qing's smile vanished instantly. She turned and snapped to attention, giving Qiu Tu a sharp salute. "Yes, sir!"

The girl was slender, like a green apple, exuding the scent of youth.

Qiu Tu smiled and waved his hand, "Let's go home."

As Song Qing, the expert at anti-friction, left work, the other trusted colleagues in the office also gradually left, chatting and laughing.

Today is everyone's promotion day, and most of them have parties or banquets. More than one detective invited Qiu Tu over for a drink.

Top confidants like Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng even invited Qiu Tu to come over for a chat.

But because he had other things on his mind, Qiu Tu politely declined with a smile.

And so, after all the trusted confidants had left work, only Qiu Tu and Liu Fuping remained in the office.

He saw Liu Fuping sitting in a chair, smiling at him.

Qiu Tu asked curiously, "Sister Liu, aren't you leaving?"

Liu Fuping's eyes darted around, and she said in an ambiguous voice, "Didn't the commander come here specifically to see me?"

Qiu Tu smiled as he looked at Liu Fuping, feeling that this woman had indeed made a lot of progress.

So he didn't hide anything, and walked up behind Liu Fuping with a smile. Then he bent down and hugged her from behind, bringing his mouth close to her ear.

With the soft jade in his arms, Qiu Tu said softly, "I have something I need you to do."

Liu Fuping tilted her swan-like neck back and asked curiously, "Director Liu? Or Committee Member Jiang?"

Qiu Tu, “All.”

Liu Fuping laughed and said, "The commander is really greedy."

After saying that, she mimicked Song Qing's tone, "The red flag at home stays flying high, while colorful flags flutter outside~~~"

Qiu Tu was both amused and exasperated by Liu Fuping's antics. He gave Liu Fuping's bulging breasts a good whack.

Amidst Liu Fuping's coquettish exclamation, he said without any politeness, "Little Caiqi, hurry up and get it done!"

Liu Fuping felt weak all over from Qiu Tu's ministrations. She rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, sir."

"You're just taking advantage of my inconvenience these past two days to bully me."
