Then let them offer their loyalty!

Just then, Dai Yukang suddenly spoke up again, "With your current level of skill, can you really control Qiu Tu?"

Upon hearing Dai Yukang's words, Qin Shuman paused in her steps.

She turned around and saw Dai Yukang shake his head slightly, then pick up the water glass on the table and take a sip of water.

"Do you think that something I could see through at a glance would not have been rectified in advance, given Qiu Tu's meticulous nature?"

Dai Yukang shook his head and said, "I guess he had already arranged for people to be moved before or after he called you this morning."

"Moreover, the people who arranged the transfer were likely not his confidants, but rather his moles or confidants of one of his allies."

"There are so many people in the New Territories, and we don't even know who moved them. Where are we supposed to find out?"

At this point, Dai Yukang glanced at Qin Shuman and said, "You're still a bit naive. He completely outmaneuvered you."

"In the future, if you really become the head of the security department, be careful that he doesn't take advantage of you."

At this point, Dai Yukang picked up his water glass, stood up, and said, "I'll go have a chat with Lao Ye."

"The plans to 'capture the evil god' and 'explore the boundless sea of ​​the mind' are so grand, it wouldn't hurt to let him share some of the credit."

"If he is truly loyal to our military, then it wouldn't be a loss to give him a helping hand."

“But…” At this point, Dai Yukang gestured towards Qin Shuman in the air, “You need to know. You’re the one who brought this person into the military. You’re responsible for it.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuman nodded heavily, "Yes, Director."

Seeing this, Dai Yukang didn't bother to say anything more and left the office to discuss the matter with General Ye.

However, after leaving the office, Dai Yukang shook his head slightly.

'What a talent... It would be great if we could get him into the security department.'

'That way, I don't need to let Yudie take over the director's position...'

Thinking this, a cryptic smile suddenly appeared on his face...

.....

The military headquarters is quite efficient.

Qiu Tu made the phone call in the morning, and Qin Shuman gave him a definite answer by noon.

The proposals for the "Evil God Capture Project" and the "Boundless Heart Sea Expansion Project" were delivered to the shelter that afternoon.

However, just before this proposal was submitted.

Another report, titled "Operation Report on Killing the Evil God Larilu," jointly drafted by the East City Investigation Department, the New Territories City Military Headquarters, and the East City Military Headquarters, was delivered to the shelter ahead of schedule!

This report details the entire process of Liu Xiongyuan, Ye Mingfeng, and Wang Hu killing the evil god La Riluo.

However, somewhat contrary to the facts, Ye Mingfeng and Wang Hu gave away almost all the credit.

The report shows that the plan to kill the evil god was initiated by Liu Xiongyuan, commanded by Liu Xiongyuan, and the main combat force in the battle was also Liu Xiongyuan!

But that's not all. Along with the report, there was also a resource sample collected from the area controlled by Lariluo in the Boundless Heart Sea, and a sample of Lariluo's crystallized divine body!

In the report, the three of them offered to give the Sanctuary the entire crystallized divine body of Lariro, who had fallen!

This is extremely valuable research material for the Eighth Sanctuary, which rarely kills evil gods!

Therefore, when the report was submitted, the shelter's leadership was immediately stunned by the news.

Countless high-ranking officials turned their attention to Liu Xiongyuan of Dongcheng City.

However, before these high-ranking officials could even process this news, the "Evil God Capture Plan" and the "Boundless Heart Sea Development Plan," jointly submitted by Ye Mingfeng, Dai Yukang, Yu Die, and Qiu Tu of the New Territories Military Headquarters, were also submitted.

If the killing of a deity only brought shock to the shelter's higher-ups, at most raising their opinion of Liu Xiong Yuan, but they wouldn't really dwell on it afterwards...

So the "Evil God Capture Plan" and the "Boundless Heart Sea Expansion" plan truly appealed to the high-ranking officials of the shelter for their great interests!

By exploiting the bonds and relationships between the evil gods, we can seize control of the Boundless Heart Sea! Then, we can study the regions of the Boundless Heart Sea and the evil gods!

This plan is both bold and reasonable!

Most importantly, it is highly executable!

Especially after learning that the evil god Lariro had been controlled, the whole plan seemed to be going smoothly, and all that was needed was the shelter's approval to go all out!

With such great benefits and such great achievements, even the shelter's higher-ups were a little envious.

After all, if this plan comes to fruition, the Eighth Shelter will likely catch up with the progress of other shelters in a short period of time!

This is a plan that can be recorded in the history of the shelter!

Therefore, the shelter's higher-ups were exceptionally busy today, holding one meeting after another, all discussing Liu Xiongyuan's killing of La Riluo and the "Boundless Heart Sea Expansion Project".

Several reports were also reviewed and studied repeatedly by senior officials.

Among them, an unfamiliar name, "Qiu Tu," came to the attention of the shelter's leadership for the first time...

This name appears as one of the four signatories to the "Great Expansion Project," but it also appears in the report submitted by Liu Xiongyuan regarding the killing of La Riluo...

The first to notice this was a member of the Shelter Supreme Council, from the Investigation Bureau's faction...

------

Two chapters, 10,000 words each! Please vote with monthly tickets!

Chapter 286 Deceiving Larilu (10,000 words, please vote!)

The Eighth Sanctuary. The Supreme Council. "Provisional" Meeting No. 1026.

This was an emergency meeting convened by the Supreme Council of the Eighth Sanctuary.

However, the meeting was of a very high standard. Not only were all the members present, but several vice speakers, along with the speaker Rao Shou, were also present.

Rao Shou was an elderly man with a somewhat otherworldly air about him. He looked kind and gentle, and just sitting there gave people a sense of warmth and approachability.

But in reality, it's a bit the opposite. As a representative of the "Iron-Blooded Faction" of the Eighth Sanctuary, Rao Shou's methods have always been bloody and cruel.

Having come from the military, he was once the largest warlord in the region, commanding a large and well-equipped army.

Even after the Eighth Sanctuary was established, and the various warlords and armed forces were reorganized into military departments, he still held the greatest military power in the sanctuary.

The leaders of the various factions within the military were mostly his disciples and followers.

For example, Ye Mingfeng is one of his "grand-disciples" whom he has admired in recent years.

This is a true tyrant who single-handedly subdued other important figures, earning their complete respect.

Beside Rao Shou sat five vice-speakers, representing the other five major factions in the current shelter: the Fengtian faction, the Freedom and Democracy faction, the Local Armed Alliance, the Academic faction, and the Reform faction.

These five factions controlled most of the power in the three main institutions of the shelter. It was their cooperation, compromise, and competition that allowed the Eighth Shelter to develop rapidly in just over a decade.

Among them... Wang Guochuan, whom Qiu Tu had met before, was the leader of the "reformist faction" and ranked last among the vice speakers.

The scene was slightly different from previous meetings: in the past, the atmosphere at meetings was always a bit tense.

However, at this meeting, everyone focused more on studying the reports they had on hand and occasionally offered their own opinions to provide new ideas for others.

For example, one military "iron-blooded" member of parliament made no attempt to hide his praise for the "Boundless Mind Sea Development Plan" submitted by Ye Mingfeng and Dai Yukang.

They praised it as one of the most valuable programs in the Eighth Shelter in recent years.

For example, a "reformist" councilor from the city hall praised Liu Xiongyuan for his heroic act of commanding and killing La Riluo.

They called it the best operational plan the Eighth Shelter had ever executed in the past two years.

Of course, in addition to praising their own faction, they also discussed the authenticity and feasibility of these reports and proposals.

The discussion concluded that the reports were genuine and the proposed solutions were feasible.

Several lawmakers have pointed out that the "Boundless Heart Sea Exploration Plan" is too radical. Especially without verifying the true attitude of the evil god, rashly entering the "Boundless Heart Sea" could potentially lead to heavy losses.

But... opportunities are always accompanied by dangers, so although others had similar concerns, they ultimately felt they couldn't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The speaker and five deputy speakers simply sat at the front and listened quietly to the members' discussion.

However, judging from their consistent silence, they are actually inclined to carry out the plan.

As a result, by the end of the meeting, the members of parliament's discussion had changed from the feasibility of the plan to inviting some experts, and having Ye Mingfeng and Dai Yukang explain the whole plan remotely on-site, and then finally confirming this "Great Expansion Plan".

It was at this time that an "academic" legislator from the Investigation Department discovered a blind spot in several reports.

He pointed to the name "Qiu Tu," which had appeared several times in several reports, and then said, "Ye Mingfeng and Dai Yukang explained the plan to us, and I think it's fine..."

"But should we also invite Qiu Tu to give a talk?"

“I just checked his background. He’s a native of the New Territories and became an agent when the New Territories were established.”

"He made rapid progress in just one year and eventually became the deputy director of the political department."

"And in several reports, both Liu Xiongyuan and Ye Mingfeng mentioned him."

“I think if there is enough time, we can also let him share his views.”

The lawmaker's proposal did not receive much attention from most of the other lawmakers.

After all, a deputy director of the political department of an ordinary city investigation bureau is too far removed from their level. Everyone is very busy, and it is already good enough that they can squeeze out time to listen to Ye Mingfeng and Dai Yukang's reports.

Therefore, the proposal was quickly rejected. The lawmakers turned their attention back to the "Boundless Mind Ocean Development" project.

However, what the members of parliament present didn't notice was what happened after that member mentioned the name "Qiu Tu".

The two vice-speakers sitting in the front row clearly had thoughtful expressions in their eyes.

As they continued to listen to the councilors' discussion, they glanced through the report, pausing briefly where Qiu Tu's name appeared.

One of these two vice speakers was Wang Guochuan, the head of the "reformist" faction whom Qiu Tu had met once before.

The other one is... Tang Xingyun, the head of the "Fengtian Clique"...

......

Meanwhile, as the extraordinary session of the Sanctuary's Supreme Council was being held overtime...

Qiu Tu wasn't idle either.

After learning that Ye Mingfeng and Dai Yukang had agreed to cooperate, he eagerly went to the security office to collect a bottle of disaster potion.

The name of that catastrophic potion is "Spiritual Insight Enhancement." Its effect is to greatly enhance a person's spiritual senses, allowing them to sense danger in advance or detect catastrophic forces.

The main purpose of this Cataclysmic Potion is to help ordinary people sense the power of cataclysm, making it easier for them to awaken and become cataclysmic beings.

However, if a Tier 2 Cataclysm drinks it, they will have similar effects to a Tier 3 Cataclysm, such as seeing "spirits," "souls," and "consciousness."

Before the Cataclysmic Artifact that can imprison souls and consciousness arrives in New Territories City, Qiu Tu must keep La Ri Luo calm in the next few days.

Therefore, the first step was to be able to see La Riluo's figure and prevent her from escaping without Qiu Tu noticing.

As for the second step... Qiu Tu had already planned it out...

......

At 9 p.m., Qiu Tu, who had a hard day, took Tan Huimin back to the villa where he and Fang Tangtang lived.

Fang Tangtang had already gone home by then.

She was clearly in a good mood after spending the whole day playing with Su Xiaowan.

So he hummed a song while steaming milk-flavored buns for Qiu Tu.

She might really have a talent for cooking; while steaming buns, Fang Tangtang can also stir-fry two dishes at the same time.

So, when Qiu Tu and Tan Huimin entered the villa, the first thing they saw was Fang Tangtang wearing an apron, busily multitasking in the kitchen.

Looking at the adorable little cook in front of her, Tan Huimin's already somewhat unpleasant expression worsened.

She gave a soft snort and then said, "Beast."

Qiu Tu gave her a strange look, but didn't bother to pay her any attention.

Ever since Qiu Tu released Zheng Tao yesterday, and then Zheng Tao disappeared, Tan Huimin has been acting like a madwoman.

She dialed Zheng Tao's communicator repeatedly and searched everywhere for him.

After failing to find Zheng Tao, she started calling Qiu Tu incessantly. But Qiu Tu had no time to answer her last night.

So it wasn't until Qiu Tu went to work today that Tan Huimin caught him.

Before she could even ask where Zheng Tao had gone, Qiu Tu told Tan Huimin that he was going to tell her a secret about her and Zheng Tao.

Tan Huimin initially didn't want to talk to Qiu Tu, but Qiu Tu said that this secret was related to Zheng Tao's disappearance.

So, having her appetite piqued, she had no choice but to follow Qiu Tu to his and Fang Tangtang's villa.
