Then let them offer their loyalty!

Page 185

People who value loyalty and affection are always admirable, no matter the circumstances.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu also raised his wine glass and clinked it with Liu Fuping's.

After clinking glasses, the two drank their drinks in one gulp. Qiu Tu asked softly, "So, you... are you really going to leave the New Territories?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping winked at him and said with a coquettish smile, "What? You can't bear to part with me?"

Perhaps it was the flush from the alcohol, or perhaps it was the lighting, but Liu Fuping looked exceptionally charming tonight.

As Qiu Tu poured drinks for the two of them, he said with a smile, "Not really. It just feels a bit sudden."

Liu Fuping swirled her wine glass, her eyes unfocused, her voice languid, "Actually, it's not that sudden..."

"My mission is to track down the murderer who killed Kai."

"Now that Jia Shu and Jia Wei are both dead, my mission is complete."

"Although Yan Chen, this 'accomplice,' is still alive, my identity has already been exposed. Even if I stay, I won't be of much use. On the contrary, they might use this clue to find out the other spies."

"Therefore, I have to leave."

"Only by leaving can the spy network that the director has worked so hard to build be preserved."

At this point, Liu Fuping said with a smile, "And... I've made such a great contribution, I'll definitely get a promotion when I get back!"

"Given the director's magnanimity, he might just give me a position as section chief or division chief."

"This is much better than being a miserable Level 1 agent under your command!"

Hearing Liu Fuping's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but laugh. He joked, "So, it turns out I'm the one who ruined your future?"

With that, Qiu Tu raised his glass again, "Then I wish Section Chief Liu, no... Director Liu, all the best for the future!"

Although he appeared carefree, Qiu Tu was honestly a little reluctant to part with Liu Fuping. After all, Liu Fuping's gentleness and thoughtfulness were unique to him.

Hmm...more importantly...he hasn't even experienced the joys of being with Liu Fuping and Tang Feifei. He's unwilling to accept it!

At this moment, Liu Fuping may have also noticed Qiu Tu's emotions.

She chuckled and clinked glasses with Qiu Tu, then said while drinking, "Actually... you don't need to feel reluctant to part with me."

"We...maybe we'll meet again soon."

Seeing Qiu Tu's slight confusion, Liu Fuping looked at him with her gentle eyes and said softly, "Dongye Prefecture is about to be established. At that time, I will likely be assigned to a position in the prefecture."

Chapter 216 (10,000 words, please vote for me!)

Qiu Tu was startled by Liu Fuping's words.

He couldn't help but look up at Liu Fuping, "You'll be taking up a post in Dongye Prefecture?"

Seeing Qiu Tu's surprise, Liu Fuping smiled and said, "Yes."

“After all, my parents have built up some business in the planned development area over the years. They also have some connections in the shelter.”

"With Director Liu's support, I should be able to take up a position in the prefecture without much trouble."

Qiu Tu asked, hissed, and then said, "I didn't expect this. It feels like you're really going to rise to great heights after this transfer."

"When I see you next time, I shouldn't have to call you 'sir,' should I?"

Liu Fuping covered her mouth and chuckled, then raised an eyebrow slyly, "That's hard to say."

She reached out and lifted Qiu Tu's chin, then said in a suggestive tone, "So... little man, you'd better try to please me."

"Otherwise, I'll make things difficult for you later."

Qiu Tu was amused by Liu Fuping's words.

He lowered his head and bit Liu Fuping's jade-like fingers, then chuckled and said, "I may not have any other skills, but... I'm quite good at serving my superiors."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping burst into laughter, her chest shaking so violently it almost made Qiu Tu's eyes blur.

Qiu Tu simply didn't bother eating anymore, got up and went to Liu Fuping's side.

After laughing, Liu Fuping looked at Qiu Tu with a blank expression, not knowing what had happened.

Qiu Tu said, "Get up."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fuping seemed to realize something, her face flushed slightly, and then she stood up.

Qiu Tu plopped down in her chair, reached out to stop Yue from hugging her, and pulled her onto his lap.

Then, Qiu Tu stroked Liu Fuping's smooth, alabaster legs and exclaimed, "Awesome! This is what makes eating so enjoyable!"

"What a scoundrel!" Seeing Qiu Tu's unrestrained behavior, Liu Fuping laughed so hard she almost fell over.

She sat on Qiu Tu's lap, and while serving him food, she said, "By the way, when the director contacted me today, he specifically thanked you."

He said he owes you a huge favor, and that you should just ask if you ever need his help.

As Qiu Tu stroked Liu Fuping's slender legs, he said nonchalantly, "Verbal thanks are no different from nothing."

"It would be better to give us something more practical."

Liu Fuping covered her mouth and laughed, "What else do you want practically?"

"You even slept with someone's ex-wife."

Qiu Tu:! !

"What are you saying! We were mutually attracted, our hearts were in sync, and we couldn't help ourselves, that's why we did that!"

"How did it become a one-sided game where I'm playing you!"

Then, Qiu Tu changed the subject, pointed to his handsome face, patted his six-pack abs, and said, "With looks like mine and muscles like mine..."

"If we sleep together, you're the one who benefits! I'm already being kind by not asking you for money!"

Hearing Qiu Tu's shameless words, Liu Fuping blushed slightly and spat out, "Pah!"

"Shameless."

However, after laughing and scolding, Liu Fuping also recalled that wild night with Qiu Tu, and for some reason, her eyes welled up with tears.

She lowered her head, looked boldly and directly at Qiu Tu, and then said, "However... little man."

"I'm leaving tomorrow. Don't you have any gifts for me tonight?"

Seeing Liu Fuping's murderous look, Qiu Tu immediately understood what she meant.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu no longer held back. He picked up Liu Fuping and then swept all the food and tablecloth off the table!

They pressed Liu Fuping down onto the table.

That night, Qiu Tu truly experienced what it meant for a woman's waist to be a deadly blade...

Liu Fuping also received a heartfelt farewell gift from Qiu Tu, imbued with his deepest emotions...

.....

The next morning.

Qiu Tu awoke from his sleep. Liu Fuping, exhausted from a night's sleep, remained fast asleep.

Qiu Tu yawned, reminisced for a moment, and felt that last night's experience was truly joyful. Going all out like Tang Feifei did was abnormal!

'I wonder... after this promotion, with the increased disaster recovery capabilities, will my physical abilities also be enhanced.'

'By then, second-tier Cataclysms shouldn't be having as much trouble dealing with third-tier Cataclysms as they are now, right?'

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of the second bottle of [Cataclysmic Awakening Potion] that he had refined but hadn't used yet, and the Cataclysmic Materials that could make the Cataclysmic Potion 100% successful.

With these two items in hand, Qiu Tu could theoretically train two Cataclysms with a 100% success rate.

As for the candidates to be trained, it's quite simple: the one with 100% awakening is for Atai, while the one with the cataclysmic ability is for Eagle.

After all, given Atai's size and fighting prowess, he seems likely to possess some kind of powerful cataclysmic ability.

As for the eagle... it's listless; it'll be good enough if it becomes a Cataclysm.

And they are all Qiu Tu's most loyal and closest subordinates. By training them, Qiu Tu has made a good investment.

As for why we're only training them now...

The main reason is...

Loyalty is not a panacea. Throughout history, countless loyal subordinates have turned against their former allies because their own power and influence have grown, leading to ambition and eventual betrayal.

Although Qiu Tu believed in Atai and the Eagles' loyalty, he didn't want to test their hearts.

Previously, Qiu Tu was only a Tier 1 Cataclysm. If he were to nurture Atai and Eagle, and they were to develop ambitions, Qiu Tu would be unable to control them at all.

Now that he has advanced to the second tier, all his worries have vanished...

Moreover, Qiu Tu did not intend to reward them directly, but rather to let them earn this opportunity themselves.

The potion can be given to them first, but they must exchange it for sufficient merit, catastrophe materials, or prepare a new catastrophe potion for their next subordinate.

Only by forming a healthy "reward and punishment mechanism" can Qiu Tu's small organization operate in a positive manner and provide Qiu Tu with more assistance.

Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Liu Fuping slowly woke up from her sleep.

Her face was still flushed from last night's passionate encounter, and her eyes were glazed over.

Her soft breasts pressed against Qiu Tu's chest, flattening them into a white pancake.

"Why are you up so early..." Liu Fuping whispered in Qiu Tu's ear.

Qiu Tu shuddered, then looked up at Liu Fuping.

Liu Fuping's watery eyes were filled with longing...

"I want more...."

Men can't stand that sound, and so another battle begins...

It was already 3 p.m. when Qiu Tu saw Liu Fuping off in her car, watching her leave with a reluctant look in her eyes.

Leaning against his dilapidated car, Qiu Tu watched the military green jeep drive away, took out a cigarette, lit it, and quietly finished it...

After this parting, when we meet again, Liu Fuping will no longer be the little detective who has to rely on herself to protect herself from the wind and rain.

Who knows, they might suddenly become a department head, a congressional assistant, or some other superior.

Suddenly, Qiu Tu felt that his "fate" in this life was a bit strange.

The women around him seem to be getting promoted very quickly, or they were already in high positions.

So... is God hinting that I should hold on to them tightly?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu finished his cigarette, slammed the butt on the ground, and then hardened his heart, 'Even if I catch them! I can't just catch one!'

"I've been given a second chance at life, I'm going to live it to the fullest!"

'I still need to improve my physical fitness! At least I can't let that Tier 3 Cataclysmic Being look down on me!'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu got into the car, started the engine, and drove off with great enthusiasm towards the Investigation Department, ready to get a promotion!

.....

Meanwhile, as Qiu Tu drove towards the investigation bureau.

At this time, the 8.16 Investigation Team of the Detective Agency's Security Division was also in a state of chaos.

The reason is quite simple. It's that... the HR department sent someone early this morning to talk to Qiu Tu and then proceed with the promotion process. But... Qiu Tu didn't come to work all morning.

Furthermore, no one answered the phone, and when I went to their home, I found they had moved...

And that's all.

Besides the HR department, a woman named Tan Huimin, who claimed to be Qiu Tu's secretary, was also waiting for Qiu Tu in the office.

This left Qiu Tu's subordinates somewhat bewildered, unable to understand why their superior had been assigned a secretary before even receiving a promotion...

The most excited of them all was the gossipy Song Qing.

Her big eyes kept glancing at Tan Huimin, then she ran over to Cao Dabiao and whispered, "Brother Biao, could this be some kind of romantic entanglement with the commander?"
