Then let them offer their loyalty!

Even though the other executives were still on his side, he inexplicably felt a sense of defeat, as if the building was about to collapse.

How exactly did things get to this point?

'Just because of Qiu Tu? The entire Investigation Bureau has changed?'

To be honest, thinking about it, Yan Chen felt a little ridiculous: how could that little detective have such great abilities?

I've known him for over a year, but I never imagined he would turn out to be such a shrewd and ruthless man.

Upon first truly confronting Qiu Tu's abilities, Yan Chen took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp.

Although the promotion has caused a lot of trouble for the Investigation Bureau, it's all minor trouble.

Now that he's back, everything can be easily set right.

Moreover, he was not without the ability to fight back.

Because he acted decisively early, he avoided making a major mistake and was even able to steal some of the credit from Tang Feifei and Qiu Tu. Therefore, he didn't lose points at the shelter.

But he doesn't lose points, while he can make Tang Feifei and Liu Xiongyuan lose points.

His advancement to the fourth-tier Cataclysm is to strengthen the shelter and enhance the capabilities of the Investigation Bureau!

Furthermore, devouring an evil god weakens the enemy's power!

Therefore, the greater good lies with him!

Tang Feifei and Liu Xiong Yuan, one seizing power while he was away, and the other prematurely activating Moonlight Lake, both affected his advancement, forcing him to abandon his attempt to devour the evil god!

This not only cost humanity one fourth-tier Cataclysm, but also allowed an evil god to escape!

This crime is enough to give Liu Xiong Yuan and Tang Fei Fei a hard time!

They might end up with a verbal reprimand or a demotion.

Thinking this, Yan Chen's anger over failing to advance finally seemed to have a place to be vented!

He stretched out his aged hand and waved it at Ji Chen, signaling him to leave.

He pondered for a long time, then picked up the landline on the table and dialed the shelter's hotline...

.....

at the same time.

The outer perimeter of Moonlight Forest.

After Tang Feifei handed over the troops at the scene to Lai Shun, she and Qiu Tu got into a jeep and prepared to return to the New Territories.

The driver was Tang Feifei's secretary, Su Xiaowan, who was considered one of their own. So the two of them didn't hold back in their conversation.

Tang Feifei's expression turned sour after hanging up the phone.

She gazed coldly at the desolate scenery outside the window, then murmured, "All her efforts were in vain."

"Yan Chen is too decisive."

Qiu Tu nodded and said, "Yes. His decisive action did indeed take me a little by surprise."

"I suspect that Liu Xiongyuan used his power to activate Moonlight Lake in advance, and he must have sensed it."

"After weighing the pros and cons, he realized that if something went wrong at Moonlight Lake, even if he was promoted, he would not become the vice speaker, and might even be questioned."

"Therefore, one should make a decisive choice between two evils and select the lesser one."

At this point, Qiu Tu added casually, "In addition, he may also be harboring the idea of ​​blaming you and Liu Xiong Yuan for his failure to advance."

"Right now, he might already be reporting the situation to his back office at the shelter."

Tang Feifei is a magnanimous person. Although she is also skilled in political maneuvering, she mostly engages in above-board, honorable schemes. She is indeed somewhat lacking in the art of intrigue.

So when she heard Qiu Tu say that, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Qiu Tu.

Noticing Tang Feifei's gaze, Qiu Tu smiled at her, nodded, and confirmed, "Yes, given Yan Chen's cunning, he won't try to clean up the mess bit by bit. Instead, he's very likely to take the offensive and reverse the situation."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei was not alarmed. Her wheat-colored face was full of deep thought.

After a moment, her sharp gaze fell on Qiu Tu, and she said with certainty, "Since you guessed what he did, then there's a high probability... he has a backup plan, right?"

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course..."

Qiu Tu put his hands behind his head and said, "You really think you didn't get authorization from Director Liu, General Ye, and Colonel Wang?"

"Guess why so many people can't contact them?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei was first taken aback, then looked at Qiu Tu with surprise, and pointed to the star in the sky!

Qiu Tu smiled and nodded, "How can a Moonlight Lake compare to the merit of killing or defeating an evil god?"

"Yan Chen consumed La Ri Luo's power for so long. Isn't that the greatest merit and gift for them?"

"Therefore, I reached an agreement with them through Director Liu..."

"This is what they call the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; the crane and the clam fighting, the fisherman reaping the benefit..."

Seeing Qiu Tu's confident gaze, Tang Feifei could no longer hide her surprise on her usually cold face.

She looked at Qiu Tu, the deep yellow in her eyes almost impossible to suppress...

Chapter 278 Larilu's Fall? (10,000 words, please vote!)

Qiu Tu was startled by the almost overflowing desire in Tang Feifei's eyes.

He coughed lightly, then said softly, "The small bowl is still here."

Upon hearing this, Tang Feifei took a deep breath, as if suppressing the flutter in her heart.

That's just her personality.

Perhaps because martial arts training has honed his fiery and swift temperament, he often finds it difficult to control his sexual interest when he becomes extremely interested in someone.

Previously, she only felt this way about women. After all, women are like water, which can extinguish the flames in her heart and allow her to vent her passion in that gentle embrace.

However, after meeting Qiu Tu, she discovered that men could be quite interesting too.

She doesn't deny that the reason she was willing to play those cat-and-mouse games with Qiu Tu was because of Qiu Tu's appearance.

After all, there were quite a few men who seemed mysterious and dangerous to her. But they were all older men, and none of them aroused her interest.

That's why, even after seeing through some of Qiu Tu's little schemes, she was still willing to be led astray by him.

However, things are different now.

At first, she was simply indulging in... conquering Qiu Tu, draining him dry, and enjoying watching him get out of bed with weak legs.

Every time Qiu Tu stubbornly insisted that it was alright and that he could do it again, she didn't show it on her face, but she found it incredibly amusing inside.

Therefore, she restrained her desires and tried her best to cooperate with Qiu Tu, squeezing him dry every time, yet leaving him some energy.

And... she would even play along by saying that she was also nearing her end.

This is her second source of enjoyment...

However, recently, she discovered that things have changed a little.

As Qiu Tu's status and position rose, the help he could provide to her became increasingly greater.

She discovered more and more interesting aspects of Qiu Tu, such as his strong self-confidence, his strategic planning, and his decisive determination!

She had just praised Yan Chen for being decisive and for his timely act of cutting off his own arm.

But... in fact, Qiu Tu was even more decisive than Yan Chen.

Just as Yan Chen went into seclusion and Bai was under his control, he keenly discovered a power vacuum in the New Territories City Investigation Department!

Then he instigated Tang Feifei to stage a "coup" and seize power!

Even a "coup" within a city department is a matter of life and death. If it fails, Tang Feifei, with her powerful background, might be alright, but Qiu Tu would definitely be doomed!

But Qiu Tu dared to do it, and he was incredibly decisive!

It was precisely because of this decisiveness that Yu Zhengyi did not have time to take power, and Ji Chen did not have time to carry out Yan Chen's arrangements, which is why this "coup" was successful!

This time, after Qiu Tu learned that Liu Xiong Yuan wanted to bring Moonlight Lake to life ahead of schedule, he not only did the military a great favor and helped him with a plan that killed four birds with one stone, but he also quietly set up such a big scheme!

This was a complete surprise to Tang Feifei.

This is also why she couldn't quite control her emotions.

So after taking a deep breath, Tang Feifei said in a low voice, "Come to my house tonight."

Qiu Tu:? ?

Qiu Tu had actually been eating quite well these past few days, especially Fang Tangtang's facial cleanser, which he couldn't resist, so he really didn't have any intention of eating Tang Feifei's big meal.

So he coughed and politely declined, saying, "Chief, I have other things to do tonight."

The clear yellow light in Tang Feifei's eyes remained undiminished. "A promise."

This is her asking price.

Qiu Tu clicked his tongue, and was about to speak.

Tang Feifei: "Two."

Qiu Tu: .....

He coughed, as if to say that it wasn't a matter of promises.

Tang Feifei: "Three."

After saying that, Tang Feifei turned to look at Qiu Tu and said coldly, "This is the final bottom line."

“If you don’t accept, I’ll leave you here right now and go back to the city to find some ducks.”

Qiu Tu:? ? ?

To be honest, Qiu Tu really didn't care that Tang Feifei had threatened to go find a male prostitute.

He mainly felt that three promises were indeed quite a lot.

So he coughed and said, "Chief, that's a threat! How long will it take me to get back to New Territories City in this desolate wilderness? Will I even be able to work tomorrow?"

"So, I agreed to your request for the sake of work! Work!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei's lips curled into a beautiful smile...

Occasionally teasing Qiu Tu, her shrewd and resourceful subordinate, and watching him break down is Tang Feifei's third source of amusement...

Thinking this, Tang Feifei couldn't help but look up at the dark sky outside the window.

High in the sky, the retrograde shooting star seemed to be getting closer and closer to that dim star.

'Can Qiu Tu's plan really succeed?'

Although Qiu Tu was always a master strategist, Tang Feifei also knew the saying, "Man proposes, God disposes."

Especially when it comes to hunting evil gods in the "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart," anything could happen...

......

at the same time.

The boundless sea of ​​the heart...

As the source of all catastrophic forces, and the ultimate destination of the world's spirit, the Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart is not a vast ocean as ordinary people imagine, but rather... like the real world, a complete world.

However, this world is different from the real world.

The real world is spherical, while the boundless ocean of the mind is square...

It's like a giant mirror, towering over the entire real world.

Even more bizarrely, in this boundless sea of ​​the mind, there is no direction, no east, west, north, or south, and no end...

The whole world is like a giant, moving sand table. As you walk forward, you might see a desert, but as you get closer, you discover it's a dense primeval forest!

You want to go back to where you came from, but you find that the way back no longer leads to where you came from.

This is the ever-changing "boundless sea of ​​the mind".

In this world without east, west, south, or north, and without any direction, the only way to determine your location is through coordinates!
