Then let them offer their loyalty!

After speaking, Qiu Tu began assigning tasks.

He divided his agents into three teams: one team disarmed Secretary Bai's bodyguards, one team followed him into the villa to subdue Secretary Bai, and the other team kept watch on the perimeter to prevent any accidents from happening.

It was only at this moment that everyone realized that Qiu Tu was actually trying to arrest Secretary Bai.

However, their loyalty level of seventy or eighty points, along with the morale boost from Qiu Tu, made them fearless.

So, after the tasks were assigned, the arrest operation was officially launched.

The villa where Secretary Bai lives is not far from Tang Feifei's villa.

So in just a few minutes, the group arrived at the villa where Secretary Bai was.

The first squad drew their guns, easily disarmed Secretary Bai's guards with the arrest warrants in hand, and escorted them aside.

The third team then dispersed around the villa as planned, setting up a cordon to prevent outsiders from disturbing them.

As for the second team, led by Qiu Tu, they stormed the villa, intending to arrest Secretary Bai...

A day later, when Qiu Tu stepped into the villa again, his state of mind was completely different.

When Qiu Tu arrived yesterday, he was filled with trepidation. He was worried about his own safety, as well as curious about whether Secretary Bai was truly a follower of the evil god.

But when Qiu Tu arrived today, he was in an extremely peaceful state of mind.

They stormed into Secretary Bai's villa with their men, trampling down the lawn surrounding the villa.

The once pristine and comfortable lawn has become messy and chaotic, much like the dilapidated mansion.

Upon entering the villa, internal guards immediately came to greet us upon hearing our voices.

Two of Secretary Bai's trusted agents stood in the doorway and were startled to see the large group of people.

However, since their job was to protect Secretary Bai, the two exchanged a glance and quickly stretched out one hand with their palm facing outward, making a "no entry" gesture.

"This is the villa of Bai Yu, the head of the administrative department. Which department are you from?"

As they spoke, one of the detectives recognized Qiu Tu and the group's black uniforms, which represented the Political Department.

His expression changed, and he quickly tugged at the detective next to him, wanting to say a few words in a low voice.

At that moment, Zhu Huoyan and Li Xian, who were following Qiu Tu, stepped forward and outpaced Qiu Tu. Then, they pulled out silver handcuffs and unhesitatingly handcuffed the two detectives' outstretched hands!

The two detectives were clearly startled and immediately shouted, "What are you doing!"

However, before they could finish speaking, Zhu Huoyan and Li Xian grinned maliciously, pulled on the handcuffs, and grabbed the two men, dragging them aside.

All four moved very quickly. From the moment the two detectives reached out to stop them to the moment Zhu Huoyan and Li Xian subdued the two men, it took only two or three seconds.

So when Qiu Tu arrived with his trusted confidants, the entrance was already clear.

Therefore, Qiu Tu didn't even glance at the two captured agents, and strode across the threshold into the villa's outer hall.

Upon arriving at the outer hall, Secretary Bai was sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast.

Although his position in the Investigation Bureau was Yan Chen's secretary and the bureau's chief steward, because they were both high-ranking officials in the Bureau and held great power, he did not need to serve and accompany Yan Chen as early as those personal secretaries or confidential secretaries.

Secretary Bai's breakfast was not elaborate: a piece of bread, a fried egg, and a glass of milk.

During meals, the maid stood silently beside him, waiting for his orders, while he ate and read the newspaper.

He didn't seem surprised to hear the chaotic footsteps bursting into the villa; his gaze remained fixed on the newspaper.

Only when Qiu Tu approached him did he pick up the milk, take a small sip, and then sigh, "Director Tang is really good to you."

"They completed all the procedures for you in such a short time."

At this point, he put down the newspaper and held out his hand to Qiu Tu, "Let me see the authorization order."

Upon hearing what Secretary Bai said, Qiu Tu immediately took out a copy of the authorization order that Inspector Tang had faxed over the previous night and placed it in Secretary Bai's hand.

Secretary Bai took the authorization order, read it carefully, and then smiled as she returned it to Qiu Tu.

He then picked up a white silk handkerchief, wiped his mouth, put it down, and then politely extended his hands to Qiu Tu.

All his movements were so elegant, just as calm and composed as when he helped Qiu Tu with his onboarding process more than a year ago.

Looking at him, Qiu Tu seemed to recall the moments he shared with Secretary Bai.

He gave Secretary Bai a deep look before finally reaching out to take the silver handcuffs that Song Qing handed him.

"Crack!"

As Qiu Tu handcuffed Secretary Bai's wrists with the silver handcuffs, the second of the nine high-ranking officials in the Investigation Department was apprehended...

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, only Secretary Bai's eyes remained calm, as if she had seen through everything in the world...

......

at the same time.

At the time when Secretary Bai was arrested.

In a conference room on the ninth floor of the Investigation Department, Huang Shangzong's confidant Wu Zhi was carefully reviewing all the case materials and records that Qiu Tu had handled over the past year.

He seems to have some kind of powerful ability to quickly read or memorize.

He was holding written materials in his hand, but there was also a projector on the table and a tape recorder on his right.

He was simultaneously reading the written materials, watching the video materials, and listening to the audio materials.

Beside him, Committee Member Wang and Deputy Director Yu were quietly exchanging glances.

Both men are prominent figures in the top 15 of New Territories City. They already knew each other and, although they didn't have much personal interaction, they could occasionally exchange a few words.

There was no one else in the room, so the two of them secretly talked.

From their eye contact, it was clear that they were skeptical of Wu Zhi's investigative methods, which involved reading ten lines at a glance and multitasking.

Although Huang Shangzong was a very important figure in the shelter and had a group of talented people under his command, they still found it hard to believe such an exaggerated investigation method.

As they were thinking this, Wu Zhi's hand suddenly started moving as well.

He held a red pen in his right hand and circled several times on the text documents.

Then, with his left hand, he pressed the pause button on the projection equipment and wrote a few numbers on a blank sheet of paper, as if recording the problematic video duration.

Upon seeing this, Committee Member Wang and Yu Zhengyi exchanged a glance, then looked at Wu Zhi again.

Wu Zhi, seemingly oblivious to their glances, began to scribble and draw rapidly.

He worked extremely fast, filling several pages in just over ten minutes, and drawing circles all over many interrogation records.

Seeing this, Yu Zhengyi secretly glanced at the notes on his paper and found that he couldn't understand the written parts, but the circled parts were all small details.

Some parts involve suspected irregularities in Qiu Tu's handling of the case; others show gaps in Qiu Tu's documentation, relying on confessions for convictions; still others reveal inconsistencies in Qiu Tu's case file writing, suggesting a possible pre-emptive conviction followed by the search for evidence...

These problems actually exist in all departments of the Investigation Department: after all, the planned areas are areas that have just been brought under the jurisdiction of the shelters, the laws are not perfect, and the Investigation Department handles most cases expediently.

In fact, these problems exist not only in the New Territories, but also in other cities with planned development areas.

But... all of this is an unspoken rule. If strictly enforced according to the laws governing shelters, Qiu Tu would be guilty of serious violations.

If Qiu Tu is found to have violated regulations, he will be immediately suspended from his duties and work.

Once Qiu Tu loses his position, his invincible status will be shattered, and then everyone who has a grudge against Qiu Tu or is dissatisfied with him will take advantage of his misfortune.

Whether it's providing clues, giving testimony, or even... framing someone, nobody wants to see Qiu Tu get back on his feet.

After glancing at the document for a few moments and understanding Wu Zhi's line of thought, Yu Zhengyi nodded slightly.

Although Wu Zhi's method was not particularly sophisticated, it was prudent and proceeded step by step.

Especially given his status as a confidant of Huang Shangzong, and the fact that Commissioner Wang, theoretically authorized to offer opinions and suggestions on the Investigation Bureau's affairs, launched an attack, coupled with Yan Chen's tacit approval, Qiu Tu's fate was virtually sealed.

And at that moment, just as he was thinking this.

Suddenly, there was a loud knocking on the office door.

As the deputy director, Yu Zhengyi was the one who spoke first, so he said in a deep voice, "Please come in."

Upon hearing Yu Zhengyi's voice, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and an agent rushed in.

Seeing his expression, Yu Zhengyi's face darkened slightly, and he said coldly, "What's the panic! Is the sky falling?"

"I didn't expect Committee Member Wang and Counselor Wu to be here! What a laughingstock!"

Upon hearing Yu Zhengyi's words, the detective slowed down with an embarrassed expression, then quickly walked up to Yu Zhengyi.

Upon reaching Yu Zhengyi, he first glanced at Committee Member Wang and Wu Zhi, then leaned close to Yu Zhengyi's ear and whispered, "Director, something's happened."

"Qiu Tu didn't come to work today, so when we took people to the political department, we couldn't subdue him."

"Afterwards, we made inquiries from various sources and discovered that... not only did he not come, he even took all his confidants with him."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhengyi frowned deeply. The higher-ups in the Investigation Bureau all knew that Qiu Tu had dozens of trusted agents under his command. That was no small force.

So he couldn't help but ask, "What is he doing with so many people?"

The detective whispered, "He...he arrested Secretary Bai."

"What?!" Upon hearing the detective's words, Yu Zhengyi, who had just been lecturing the detective about his composure, was so shocked that he almost jumped up from his chair!

Yu Zhengyi's earth-shattering surprise resounded throughout the entire office, causing Wu Zhi to stop what he was doing and also attracting the attention of Committee Member Wang.

Actually, when the detective came in, although Committee Member Wang and Wu Zhi were still doing their own things, they were also paying attention to him.

This meant that, although the agent's voice was very soft, they could still vaguely hear a few words.

For example, "Qiu Tu was not controlled," "his trusted confidant was taken away," "Secretary Bai," etc.

However, because they had missed some key information and couldn't piece it together, they were all surprised to hear Yu Zhengyi's reaction. They couldn't help but look over as well.

Compared to Wu Zhi, Committee Member Wang was clearly more familiar with Yu Zhengyi, so he asked with a smile, "Director Yu, what happened?"

At this moment, Yu Zhengyi also realized that he had lost his composure.

However, this matter is an internal affair of the Investigation Department and may very well involve some secrets.

Therefore, although he knew that the two would find out sooner or later, he still chose to delay the time as soon as possible.

He forced a laugh and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

"There's been a slight mishap in one of the departments' work. I need to go and take care of it now."

After saying that, he turned to his secretary, who was standing next to him, and said, "Xiao Zhang, I'll be leaving for a bit now."

"You will assist Committee Member Wang and Counselor Wu here."

"You should try your best to meet any of their requests. Do you understand?"

Yu Zhengyi's secretary quickly bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Director."

Seeing this, Yu Zhengyi smiled at Committee Member Wang and Wu Zhi, stood up and said, "Then I'll go out and take care of something for a bit. Excuse me, gentlemen."

After saying that, Yu Zhengyi didn't even pay attention to the reactions of Committee Member Wang and Wu Zhi, and walked straight out of the meeting room.

Upon seeing this, the detective who had just delivered the message gave the group an awkward smile and quickly followed them out.

Upon seeing this, Wu Zhi and Committee Member Wang exchanged a glance. Just as they were about to whisper a few words to each other, Yu Zhengyi's secretary suddenly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Committee Member Wang, Councilor Wu, you two can give me any instructions."

Hearing his words, Wu Zhilue pondered for a moment, then said, "Could you inquire with the Public Security Bureau for me? I've been wanting to see Deputy Chief Zheng ever since I entered the Investigation Department, why hasn't he come yet?"

"Did something happen?"

Upon hearing Wu Zhi's words, the secretary quickly nodded, then took out a communicator and began making a call right in front of Wu Zhi...

At this time, Zheng Tao did indeed encounter some problems.

In fact, ever since he learned this morning that Wu Zhi wanted to see him, he had been hesitating.

He secretly spoke with Guan Weihua, the head of the public security department, to learn about Wu Zhi's situation.
