Then let them offer their loyalty!

Dai Yukang simply smiled faintly at Qiu Tu, as if those words had not been spoken by him.

Silence...a long silence...

After thinking quietly for a while, Qiu Tu slowly spoke, "Excuse me, if I don't accept this position of person in charge..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dai Yukang added, "I will still arrange for someone to go to the New Territories to take charge of the relevant work."

"After all, the future of the New Territories is too important to be lost."

Hearing Dai Yukang's words, Qiu Tu experienced firsthand the methods of this legendary section chief.

This isn't asking for my opinion; it's a complete scheme, all to trap me...

Chapter 295 (10,000 words, please vote!)

Qiu Tu recalled the few minutes he spent meeting with Dai Yukang.

Upon meeting, Dai Yukang immediately revealed his purpose: to get Qiu Tu to work for him at the Security Bureau.

This not only gained momentum but also planted a seed in Qiu Tu's subconscious, facilitating the final plan.

He then steered the conversation back to the political department, using the promise of helping Qiu Tu secure the position of political minister as a way to build rapport and make it clear that they were on the same side.

Finally, he returned to the original topic and once again suggested that Qiu Tu go to the security bureau to help him.

Moreover, this time, he went even further, not only giving Qiu Tu a position that matched his current status, but also using Qin Shuman, who had a close relationship with Qiu Tu, as a "threat" to reduce Qiu Tu's room for maneuver.

If Qiu Tu doesn't accept, he will arrange for someone else to take the position. If Qin Shuman makes a mistake, she will be removed from the position.

If Qiu Tu accepts, then everything will be easy.

Qin Shuman made a mistake; Qiu Tu should take her place.

Otherwise, I'll have to clean up Qin Shuman's mess.

Both of these choices are profitable for Dai Yukang.

In the former case, he essentially pulled Qiu Tu into the Security Bureau's camp.

What's the difference between the latter and Qiu Tu joining the Security Bureau? They're both working there anyway.

'What a brilliant tactic...what a brilliant tactic...no wonder you're the legendary director of the secret front.'

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu also analyzed the pros and cons of taking on this position.

The downside is simple: he has now completely aligned himself with the military and security bureau.

Many times, we have to act in the interests of the security bureau.

Moreover, there may be even more tasks scheduled to take up his time.

However, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

Firstly, with this position in the Security Bureau corresponding to the Minister of the Political Department, Qiu Tu had a safety net:

Even if he can't make it in the investigation department system, gets demoted, or even dismissed, he still has the security bureau as a safety net.

Neither their position nor their abilities will change much.

Secondly, the Security Bureau is, after all, the department responsible for cases involving evil gods and supernatural beings. To explore the supernatural powers of this world more deeply and understand its secrets, one must participate in this department.

Secondly, in a world with extraordinary powers, this department's position within the national system will only rise. The fact that the shelter now wants to elevate the overall status of the Security Bureau is one indication of this.

Therefore, developing within a department during its upward phase will obviously be better for Qiu Tu's future career.

And finally, and most importantly...

The Security Service is a secret department of the military, and the Political Department is also a secret department of the Investigation Bureau.

Moreover, both departments are responsible for espionage, counter-espionage, intelligence, and surveillance.

Originally, these two departments were somewhat similar to the Eastern Depot and the Western Depot, with a relationship of mutual supervision and competition, which also prevented one of them from becoming too powerful.

And now... if both departments are under my control.

So... he had almost complete control over the intelligence of the three major agencies. He could say that someone was black and they were black, and he could say that someone was white and they were white.

Moreover, it combines espionage and surveillance, and can arbitrarily investigate and interrogate any official below the division level.

Such power is truly overwhelming!

Even though he was about to seize this immense power, Qiu Tu was still somewhat shocked by Dai Yukang's actions: Just how enormous a monster did he want to raise?

What exactly is he trying to do...?

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu then thought of some more doubts: Was the truth about his promotion really as Dai Yukang said?

Was Dai Yukang really a "reformist"?

Was it really Dai Yukang who contacted Mr. Wang?

Could it be that he simply knows or guesses the truth of the matter and is trying to achieve a certain goal by exploiting the information gap?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu became even more vigilant.

However, now that we are face to face with the other party...

Moreover... the other party didn't show any malice, so Qiu Tu felt he could accept the offer and the olive branch.

It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal!

Even if it's a sugar-coated bullet, you can eat the sugar coating first and then throw the bomb back!

Besides... it seems I don't have many other options right now.

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu still had many questions in his mind, but he had already made up his mind.

He snapped out of his daze, then smiled and saluted Dai Yukang, "Then I'll have to ask the commander to take good care of me from now on."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Dai Yukang nodded in satisfaction, his eyes filled with a smile...

After confirming who would be with whom, Dai Yukang turned around and took out a pre-prepared file folder from behind his back for Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu took the file folder, opened it, and took out the documents from inside.

The document is internal information of the Security Bureau, mainly introducing the work, authority, departments, personnel allocation, and other aspects of the Security Bureau and the New Territories City Security Office.

The introduction is very detailed, but it also contains a lot of confidential information.

Just by looking at this document, one can feel Dai Yukang's sincerity.

Qiu Tu read it carefully and then silently memorized it all.

Then, following "industry practice," he took out a lighter and burned the document in front of Dai Yukang.

After doing all this, Qiu Tu saluted Dai Yukang again before leaving the hotel room.

According to their agreement, Qiu Tu's most important task next was to take control of the Political Department.

After the establishment of Dongye Prefecture and the Security Bureau, Dai Yukang will complete Qiu Tu's relevant procedures and send him his appointment document.

At that time, Qin Shuman will officially become the Director of the New Territories City Security Department.

After that, Qiu Tu could use his supervisory role in the Security Bureau to contact Qin Shuman through special communication channels, or remotely direct the work of the New Territories City Security Department.

As for whether Qiu Tu should reveal his identity to Qin Shuman during the contact and command period, that is entirely up to Qiu Tu himself.

Dai Yukang had only one request: the New Territories City Security Department must continue operating after his departure! And during the "Boundless Ocean of Hearts" project, it must make its due contribution...

After leaving the hotel and going downstairs, Qiu Tu silently recalled all the details of his time with Dai Yukang as he drove back to the investigation department...

Back at the investigation department, the detectives maintained their lukewarm attitude towards Qiu Tu. While no one was foolish enough to mock him, their demeanor was respectful yet distant.

This is the normal state for a person.

However... when Qiu Tu returned to his office on the 11th floor of the administration building, he was slightly taken aback.

Because... there was someone waiting for him at the door of his office—Tan Huimin.

Tan Huimin seems even more beautiful today than before.

She wore her hair in a typical young woman's bun today, revealing her beautiful swan neck. Her small, oval face exuded gentleness and elegance.

Perhaps because she no longer needed to listen to her ex-husband's words to seduce Qiu Tu, she changed into a detective uniform today.

However, perhaps because the uniform was too fitted, it did nothing to conceal her heavy breasts beneath it.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, she forced a smile and stepped forward.

In fact, ever since Qiu Tu handed Zheng Tao's information to Tan Huimin yesterday and sent her to the security department, he thought that the relationship and fate between the two of them had come to an end.

Although he still had some lust for this beautiful young woman, he still had his principles: he would eat the women of his enemies if he could, but he wouldn't force ordinary women if they didn't want to.

There are so many women in the world, he has no need to do something so morally reprehensible.

Then Tan Huimin disappeared for a whole day and didn't show up today, so Qiu Tu naturally assumed that she had left after figuring out everything.

Unexpectedly... the duck that flew away flew back?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu looked Tan Huimin up and down twice before nodding and casually commenting, "This outfit is more appropriate."

"You used to dress like that to work every day. There were countless private discussions about it throughout the investigation department."

"In their eyes, I'm probably almost a devil."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin smiled gently and said, "The commander is not a devil of lust, but... an angel of lust."

Hearing Tan Huimin's joking words, Qiu Tu was a little surprised: he didn't expect that Tan Huimin would be like a completely different person in just one day.

What exactly did she go through?

While thinking this, Qiu Tu wasn't idle either. He clicked his tongue and retorted, "Goodness, whether you're a devil or an angel, I'm still a pervert, right?"

The two chatted casually as they arrived at the office.

Qiu Tu took out his key, opened the office door, and walked inside.

Once inside the office, Qiu Tu casually placed the keys on the table, then pointed indifferently to the simple new office and said, "I was just transferred to this low-level department; the conditions are a bit poor."

"However, since you happen to be in charge of secretarial work, I'll transfer you back to the administration department in a couple of days. That way, you won't be a burden to me."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin quickly walked to the table, picked up the keys that Qiu Tu had just tossed onto the table, and said, "Sir, I still want to continue being your secretary."

Upon hearing Tan Huimin's words, Qiu Tu turned around, glanced at the beautiful young woman in surprise, and repeated, "I may not have explained myself clearly. I have lost power now. I am no longer the powerful Deputy Minister of the Political Department I once was."

"Your ex-husband has also been arrested."

"So... you don't need to complete his task anymore, you can stay by my side. Besides, even if you stay by my side, there's nothing I can do for you anymore."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin smiled nonchalantly and said, "Sir, I'm not doing this to complete anyone's mission, nor have I thought of getting anything from you."

She said, "I'm just very grateful to you. I feel like you've let me know the truth."

Tan Huimin gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred, "It also finally allowed me to stop being deceived by Zheng Tao."

At this point, she looked at Qiu Tu with tender eyes and said, "So... I want to repay you."

She said, "You're currently at a low point, so let me help you and take care of you."

Qiu Tu:? ?

Qiu Tu felt that the people in this world were strange.

Even though he had clearly lost power on the surface, one after another people were eager to curry favor with him.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was about to be promoted to director!

However, he really didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he waved his hand and said as he sat down in his office chair, "No need. I appreciate your kindness."

"Those few things I did for you... consider it compensation for my rudeness before I knew the truth."

At this point, Qiu Tu picked up the documents on the table, and while looking down at them, said without looking up, "Besides, I'm fine now. I don't need your care or your help."

"Just live your life in peace."

Hearing Qiu Tu's refusal, Tan Huimin did not turn around and leave.

She turned around and locked the office door from the inside, then suddenly broke free of her uniform.

She was wearing nothing under her uniform jacket, so Tan Huimin's shapely figure was clearly visible at a glance.

Qiu Tu heard the sound, looked up, and was startled.
