Then let them offer their loyalty!

Because that "crisis report" wasn't about Section Chief Wang, but about Yan Chen and the Scarlet Widow...

"Trigger crisis awareness! Generate a crisis report!"

"Your superior, Yan Chen, has entrusted Lai Shun to conduct the final confirmation work with his assassin, the Scarlet Widow."

"Having gained your initial trust, the Scarlet Widow has decided to make her move against you tonight."

"Don't underestimate the strength of a professional assassin, and don't take unnecessary risks. Your defensive capabilities and the defensive cataclysmic artifacts you possess are practically worthless to her."

"Don't even think about faking your death to frame or test Yan Chen. He has already decided to pin everything on the Alliance. He's even prepared to use his most treasured information about an Alliance stronghold."

"Therefore, please be extremely careful and don't let anything unexpected happen!"

After seeing the "crisis sense" alert, Qiu Tu immediately understood why the "crisis sense" hadn't alerted him when he met the assassin that morning.

It's highly likely that the assassin was just there to "scout" and test Qiu Tu, and had no intention of killing him.

Moreover... no matter how Qiu Tu behaves, it will not affect the final result.

However, tonight's meeting is different.

The assassin was really about to make his move, and Qiu Tu could die if he made even the slightest mistake.

Especially after Qiu Tu learned the assassin's identity in the morning, he thought he had seen through everything, became arrogant, and then used himself as bait.

Facing this professional assassin, they would most likely be doomed. That's why the "crisis sense" is triggered.

To put it simply: Qiu Tu was not in any danger during the first two meetings; but during the last meeting, Qiu Tu's life might be in danger.

This "crisis sense" not only confirmed Qiu Tu's guess, but also yielded another important gain: Qiu Tu learned that Yan Chen actually controlled a stronghold of the Alliance and was even planning to frame the Alliance for his "death".

To be honest, this plan coincides with Qiu Tu's...

After all, Qiu Tu also planned to kill Yan Chen and then frame the entire alliance.

So, because of this strange coincidence, Qiu Tu studied the "crisis sense" prompts again in detail.

Then... he had a sudden inspiration and realized... this whole thing could be used!

Since Yan Chen intends to frame the alliance for everything, why don't I go with the flow and turn this falsehood into "reality"?

2 chapters, 1 words each, please vote with monthly tickets!

Chapter 323 Outpost Elimination! (10,000 words, please vote!)

Qiu Tu's idea was simple, but also very bold.

Wasn't Yan Chen planning to say that the Scarlet Widow was an assassin sent by the Alliance?

Then go along with him, accept this "setup", and then "carry it forward".

It's understandable that the coalition wanted to create chaos in the New Territories and sent assassins to kill Qiu Tu, the political minister.

However...on the other hand, if the Allied Forces could be so ruthless as to assassinate Qiu Tu inside the New Territories City Investigation Department...

So, after failing to assassinate Qiu Tu and having their stronghold destroyed by Yan Chen's men, it's reasonable that the next day, in desperation, they sent an elite special forces team to assassinate Yan Chen.

The day before, Yan Chen told everyone that the assassins were sent by the Alliance.

So the next day, he was attacked by the Alliance, and the assassins he captured were all members of the Alliance. What right did anyone else have to question him?

After all, the victims all testified that these assassins were working together.

Moreover, it was precisely because of Yan Chen's act of framing that the entire incident formed a perfect closed loop.

—To prove that the Allied Special Forces were instructed by Qiu Tu, it is necessary to prove that the two assassinations were not carried out by the same organization or person, and to prove that the Scarlet Widow was not sent by the Allied Forces.

To prove that the Scarlet Widow was not sent by the Alliance, we must first find out that she was sent by Yan Chen and Lai Shun.

And once it's discovered that the Scarlet Widow was sent by Yan Chen and Lai Shun...

What's the point of investigating further? Yan Chen made the first move, can't Qiu Tu retaliate?

In fact, for the bigwigs in the state and the shelters, they could probably guess most of the details at a glance.

However, since Qiu Tu presented his reasons very convincingly on the surface and then launched a "counterattack" in private, they will most likely turn a blind eye.

This is why Qiu Tu was so aggressive today, but stopped immediately after forcing Yan Chen to admit that the Scarlet Widow was a member of the alliance and offering compensation.

With Yan Chen's personal confirmation and tonight's actions, that's enough.

Let's settle our score tomorrow!

Thinking this through... Qiu Tu did not use his abilities to heal his wounds just because he had achieved his goal.

He first looked at Tan Huimin, who was standing beside him with a worried expression, and then said, "Huimin, go to the Political Department now and tell Chen Feng what happened just now. Tell him that I want him to lead the team tonight."

"After that, have him select a few steady, capable, and trainable first and second-level agents to participate in tonight's opportunity, to give them some experience."

"Yan Chen was able to keep that stronghold of the allied forces under his control for so long, it must not be a simple small stronghold, and his contribution must be significant."

"After they've been given a makeover, it'll be easier for them to get promoted when they come back."

At this point, Qiu Tu seemed to have thought of something, then glanced at Tan Huimin and said, "Tonight, you don't need to come with me. You'll go too. You'll participate in this operation as my special envoy. When you come back, I'll promote you."

Since extricating herself from Zheng Tao's shadow, Tam Wai-man has gained some understanding of the various situations within the New Territories City Investigation Department.

Perhaps because of her position, what she heard most often was Qiu Tu's generosity and protectiveness towards his subordinates.

She often witnessed favoritism, but now... she also witnessed generosity.

Although she didn't have much ambition for her position, no one doesn't want to improve. So when she heard Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin responded and happily went downstairs to find Chen Feng.

Tang Feifei witnessed the entire interaction between Qiu Tu and Tan Huimin.

A woman's intuition made her keenly aware of the ambiguous relationship between the two.

Knowing Tan Huimin's identity, she glanced coldly at Qiu Tu and reminded him, "She has a husband."

At this moment, Qiu Tu, who had just finished his business, turned his attention back to the deep, bone-revealing wounds on his body.

He didn't notice Tang Feifei's emotions, so he casually said, "That's her ex-husband, and he's already dead."

Upon hearing this, Tang Feifei said: .....

"You two went to such lengths to be together?"

Qiu Tu:? ?

What is all this nonsense?!

"Pfft~" Su Xiaowan, who had been watching the whole thing, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Clearly, she also realized that Tang Feifei was deliberately causing trouble!

Qiu Tu glared at Su Xiaowan, that silly girl, and then looked up at Tang Feifei.

At this moment, Tang Feifei was taking out a healing potion from one of her cards, her cold profile revealing no expression.

After a moment, she took out two bottles of medicine from the card, one red and one blue. Then she looked at Qiu Tu and said, "Both of these are 'Water of Life.' Choose one."

Qiu Tu asked curiously, "What's the difference between these two?"

Tang Feifei glanced at Qiu Tu indifferently and said, "There's no difference, except the red one has been spiked, so it will hurt a little more."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu pointed to the blue bottle and said, "Then I want that bottle."

Upon hearing this, Tang Feifei twisted open the blue bottle, untied the bandages on Qiu Tu's body, and then began to apply ointment to Qiu Tu's wounds.

I must say, Tang Feifei's medicine is really good. It feels cool and refreshing to the touch, and the wound heals at a speed visible to the naked eye, without any pain at all.

Feeling the potion's miraculous effects, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask curiously, "By the way, if it's supposed to be a healing potion, why would the red bottle deliberately add something that causes pain?"

"Is it specifically for prisoners?"

Tang Feifei said indifferently, "That's not it... because ordinary 'Water of Life' will cause someone to faint upon application."

Qiu Tu:? ?

Before Tang Feifei could finish her sentence, Qiu Tu already felt dizzy. When Tang Feifei finished speaking, he collapsed into her soft embrace...

.......

Qiu Tu woke up around 9 p.m.

When he woke up, the "Operation Eliminate the Alliance Stronghold" for the night had already ended.

He was right; being able to be suppressed by Yan Chen was indeed a great achievement.

This operation resulted in the arrest of over 300 members, both official and peripheral, of the coalition. Among them were 90 ordinary members, 10 lieutenants, 3 captains, and 1 major.

They also seized seven or eight boxes of light and heavy weapons, and nearly a warehouse full of bullets and medicine.

According to Chen Feng's subsequent speculation and report, this should be a material transit station for the Allied Forces, mainly for procuring bullets and medicines for the Allied Forces in the area to be planned.

Yan Chen likely already knew the location and information of this stronghold, but he hesitated to act because he wanted to nurture it further and use the credit to cultivate his confidants.

Unexpectedly, it benefited Qiu Tu and his confidants.

According to official records, this was the stronghold that Qiu Tu discovered and investigated. The entire operation was overseen by Qiu Tu, commanded by Chen Feng, monitored by Tan Huimin, and led by Ding Xiaoliu, Li Xian, and others.

As for the special agents of Yan Chen's faction who actually exerted their strength, sweated, were injured, or even sacrificed their lives, almost none of them were recorded.

This is... cruel, inhumane, and dark politics.

When Qiu Tu woke up, he felt that he had gained so much credit for nothing and that his injuries had also improved a lot.

So he didn't go back to sleep, but continued with his plans...

This destruction of the allied stronghold was merely interest on Yan Chen's attack; Qiu Tu is now set to collect Yan Chen's principal...

........

late at night.

In Qiu Tu's lounge on the 9th floor.

Qiu Tu put on his mask, changed his clothes, and threw the old-fashioned coin he had received from Zhao Ji again.

The coin spun in the air for a long time before slowly transforming into the image of Wu Yun, the captain of the Joint Special Forces Team 3.

The colonel was clearly not in good condition at this point.

His face was gloomy, filled with anger and resentment.

However, his emotions were clearly not because of Qiu Tu. So, upon seeing Qiu Tu, he suppressed his anger and irritation, gave Qiu Tu a crooked bow, and said, "Divine Envoy, may I ask what mission you have summoned me for in the middle of the night?"

Upon hearing Wu Yun's question, Qiu Tu said in a deep voice, "Is Colonel Wu's serious expression because of the destruction of the Allied Forces' stronghold?"

Wu Yun was surprised that Qiu Tu, the divine messenger, knew such a secret matter, so he looked at Qiu Tu in astonishment.

Qiu Tu wore a silver mask, concealing all his expressions and making it impossible to obtain any information about him.

Wu Yun nodded and said, "Yes, divine messenger."

He said with a face full of resentment, "Just now, the New Territories City Investigation Department launched a cleanup operation against us!"

"More than three hundred of our brothers perished!"

"Those who were arrested were arrested, and those who were killed were killed!"

"What's even more troublesome is that they left quite a few survivors. If any of them betray the organization, our network of contacts in the New Territories could be completely destroyed!"

Upon hearing Wu Yun's words, Qiu Tu calmly replied, "So, do you want to stop all of this? Do you want revenge?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Wu Yun was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up slightly, and he asked, "Divine Envoy...you mean the commander of this assassination operation...Qiu Tu, the Special Affairs Minister of the New Territories City?"

Qiu Tu: .....

Qiu Tu tried his best not to let his emotions be affected. Then, mimicking Zhao Ji's cold tone, he said, "No. You've been deceived."

“My God has an informant in the New Territories City Investigation Department. That informant told me that Qiu Tu has been in a coma this afternoon due to an assassination attempt.”

"The person in charge of directing and arranging this operation was Yan Zhen, Director of the New Territories City Exploration Department."

"He had figured out the situation and location of the stronghold early on, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to make his move."

"Now, taking advantage of Qiu Tu's assassination, the morale of the Investigation Bureau's Political Department and Special Operations Department has been boosted, and then they took action to eliminate your stronghold."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Wu Yun was taken aback. He asked, puzzled, "But... why should the credit be given to Qiu Tu and the Political Department?"

Qiu Tu gave him a deep look and said, "Because... Qiu Tu's injury is the starting point for everything. He wants to use it to boost the morale of the agents in the Political Department and the Special Operations Department."

Qiu Tu completely changed the whole thing by substituting a few small details with a simple substitution condition, yet it remained logical.
