Then let them offer their loyalty!

Qiu Tu suddenly spoke.

He glanced around at the high-ranking officials present, but instead of immediately accepting the mission, he asked, "Director Tang, if I come back alive, I'll get a promotion?"

Is this true?

"So... if I can lead the team back, I can become the deputy director?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the atmosphere in the conference room paused. Several senior executives couldn't help but look at him.

Because they were all seasoned veterans, no one showed their emotions.

However, their shock could still be seen from the subtle changes in their expressions and the surprise in their eyes.

The next second, Lin Ting spoke.

Perhaps he just wanted to stir things up. Or perhaps he felt that sending Qiu Tu to his death and weakening Tang Feifei's power would be advantageous to him.

Anyway… he said with a smile, “Of course it’s true. If Minister Qiu is willing to risk his life to investigate in the Boundless Sea of ​​Mind, it’s only natural that he should become the deputy director.”

"Everyone will be convinced."

After saying that, he looked at Guan Weihua and smiled as he handed the words over, "Am I right, Lao Guan?"

Guan Weihua, however, did not gloat or incite like him.

For some reason, he frowned slightly and advised, "Minister Qiu, please be cautious..."

"You're still young. You'll be promoted to deputy director sooner or later, but you only have one life."

After he finished speaking, Shi Youxin immediately retorted, "Director Guan is mistaken."

“Minister Qiu is risking his life for the entire New Territories and for the shelters. This is something to be encouraged. How can you advise him like this?”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but begin to persuade Qiu Tu...

Meanwhile, as the senior executives were engaged in a heated exchange regarding Qiu Tu, Tang Feifei also looked at Qiu Tu with a complicated expression.

She never expected that... at this most crucial moment, it would be Qiu Tu who stepped forward.

But... she didn't seem happy; she only felt preoccupied with worries and anxieties.

Thinking this, she hesitated for a moment, then said coldly, "Alright. Stop arguing."

“Since you’ve already decided not to go, then please go out first. Let me speak with Minister Qiu alone.”

"I have a few questions I'd like to ask him."

Upon hearing Tang Feifei's words, the conference room fell silent for a moment.

After a moment, the senior executives present exchanged glances, and then, understanding the situation, stood up one by one and left the conference room.

Since Qiu Tu took the initiative to accept the mission, then no matter what the outcome, the suicide squad's affairs are no longer their concern.

With Qiu Tu gone, they will be completely at ease.

Qiu Tu didn't go, but that was at Tang Feifei's urging. Tang Feifei should go and continue making arrangements for others, just don't bother with them.

In life-or-death situations, everyone will only choose what's most beneficial to themselves...

This is human nature.

Before long, all the upper-floor residents had left the building.

Tang Feifei then kicked Su Xiaowan out as well.

So, the empty conference room was truly left with only Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei.

The meeting room fell silent for a moment...

The weather in the New Territories was quite nice today. It was midday, and the sunlight quietly streamed into the conference room, falling on Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei.

They were draped in a golden veil.

After a long silence, Tang Feifei finally spoke.

But she didn't talk about the suicide squad. Instead, she casually chatted about Qiu Tu being late that day.

"Where...where did you go last night and this morning?"

Qiu Tu said, "Where else can we go? We can just stay at home."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's answer, Tang Feifei shook her head and said coldly, "You're lying."

She slowly analyzed, "It's impossible for me not to be able to contact you when I'm at home."

"When you find out that such an important emergency meeting is going to be held, your secretary or your subordinates will definitely wake you up."

"And when they don't wake you up."

"You've most likely gone into hiding, or gone to a place where you can't be disturbed... like, the boundless sea of ​​the heart?"

Hearing Tang Feifei's detailed analysis, Qiu Tu's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be... that my becoming the lord of the region is about to be exposed so soon?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu quickly racked his brains, carefully calculating what information Tang Feifei knew and how many clues she had analyzed.

After a moment... he had a guess: Tang Feifei knew nothing, she was probably just bluffing him, or... there was an information gap between them. They weren't even talking about the same thing!

After all, unless one knows all of his plans and schemes, ordinary people would never associate Qiu Tu with "commanding fourth-order creatures" and "possessing the aura of Zhao Ji".

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu said with certainty, "I did indeed secretly enter the Boundless Heart Sea these past two days."

"Then investigate how to become a regional controller."

“Yesterday, you all left. But I didn’t leave; instead, I continued exploring the primeval jungle.”

Sure enough, upon hearing Qiu Tu's admission, Tang Feifei didn't continue to probe him. Instead, she changed the subject and said, "So...it's precisely because you were in the Boundless Heart Sea yesterday that you should know how dangerous this operation was."

"...So, for this operation, you...."

Before she could finish speaking, Qiu Tu interrupted her.

Qiu Tu looked at her and said seriously, "I do know how dangerous this operation is."

"But...do you, or rather, do you have other candidates?"

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, "The city hall has the most high-ranking officials, but they are all in clerical positions, and there is a 99% chance that they will become the captain of the suicide squad."

"The military leadership is the least capable, just a handful of people. They also have conflicts with Colonel Lin. It's highly unlikely they'll be the captains of the suicide squad."

"Therefore, only our Investigation Bureau, only me... can lead a team into the Boundless Heart Sea to investigate."

At this point, Qiu Tu added, "Besides... I also need this opportunity. I really want to improve."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu recounted in detail Huang Shangzong's threat to prevent him from being promoted for five years.

To be honest, Tang Feifei had some doubts about Qiu Tu wanting to join the suicide squad. She suspected that Qiu Tu might know some secrets, or that he knew the Boundless Heart Sea was now perfectly safe.

However, after hearing Qiu Tu's explanation, she had no more doubts—indeed, everything was forced upon her.

Five years without a promotion...

If I were Qiu Tu, I might also choose to take the risk and gamble!

With that in mind, Tang Feifei, who was always efficient and decisive, stopped trying to persuade her.

She looked at Qiu Tu and then said coldly, "I will explain your situation to Committee Member Jiang and Colonel Lin in a moment."

"At that time, we will jointly submit a letter recommending you for the position of Deputy Director of the Investigation Department. We will also send the documents directly to the state."

She said firmly, "Don't worry. We will only let you set off after we receive Speaker Huang's confirmation!"

Hearing Tang Feifei's words and looking at the woman before him, as wild and spirited as a cheetah, Qiu Tu smiled and nodded...

After leaving the conference room, Qiu Tu took Tan Huimin back to his office.

But... what he didn't know was that after he left, Tang Feifei sat in the high-level conference room for a long time.

Unaware of the true situation in the Boundless Heart Sea New Territory area, she was filled with worry.

Hopefully... it's all just a false alarm.

Hopefully, Qiu Tu will return safely....

Thinking this, Tang Feifei's wheat-colored face was filled with complex emotions.

She hesitated for a long time, but finally picked up the communicator and made a call to both Committee Member Jiang and Colonel Lin...

Regardless, since Qiu Tu has made up his mind, all she can do is try to get all the conditions she agreed to with him!

........

at the same time.

While Tang Feifei was making a phone call.

Qiu Tu also returned to his office.

After closing the office door, Qiu Tu opened the "Gold-Obsessed Wallet" and took out La Ri Luo from it.

He has now become the lord of the region, but... he doesn't understand the lord's abilities, authority, or the bonuses he can gain within the region.

So he planned to subtly try to get some more clues from Lariro.

It just so happens... He had just met with Zhao Ji last night. Moreover, he learned a lot of secrets about La Ri Luo and Zhao Ji from the "memory fragments".

That's enough to fool Larilu.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu placed the "soul shackles" that imprisoned La Riluo on the table and prepared to begin questioning her.

However... unlike the past few days, this time...

Larilu seems a little off today.

She sat quietly on the altar, a long black dress clinging to her shapely body, like a dark flame, both evil and captivating.

When Qiu Tu released her, she looked at him with her scarlet eyes, deep and cold, as if they were bottomless abysses.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Tu looked at her strangely and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo's lips curled up slightly, as if she were smiling with a hint of mockery.

She parted her blood-red lips slightly and asked, "Qiu Tu... I remember you said my sister wanted to take you away, and even tried to bribe you with the Emerald Shadow Dragon, right?"

Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then nodded involuntarily, "Yes."

Larilu's eyes narrowed slightly, her expression cunning and dangerous. "I remember you also said... my sister said I was just a wisp of soul and consciousness, worthless, like a piece of trash, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded again, somewhat bewildered, "Yes."

Larilu leaned on the altar, swinging her bare, fair feet. "I remember you said my sister abandoned me and didn't want to save me at all, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu finally sensed that something was amiss.

He didn't have time to answer the question, but instead quickly looked at the top of Lariro's head!

Sure enough, the loyalty score, which had been raised to 27 points, had somehow dropped to 15 points!

Qiu Tu was startled and immediately wanted to do something.

But... just then, a sudden burst of light emanated from Laura!

The next second, Qiu Tu's [Dimensional Magic Ring] space was broken open, and the Boundless Divine Crystal, which Zhao Ji had tampered with, fell in front of Qiu Tu!

Immediately afterwards, the Boundless Divine Crystal seemed to have formed some kind of connection with Lariluo, and the Soul Shackles Altar cracked inch by inch!

Lariluo took a deep breath of the aura emanating from the Boundless Divine Crystal, then glared fiercely at Qiu Tu and shouted, "Qiu Tu! How dare you lie to me! I won't let you get away with this!"

"I will return to the Boundless Heart Sea New Realm now, and once I become the ruler of the region again! Once I return to the fourth tier! I will definitely not let you go!"

Having said that, Larilu activated the "Boundless Divine Crystal," which she had prepared beforehand, and it violently broke through the spatial barrier, transforming into a stream of light and entering the new realm of the Boundless Heart Sea...

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu was initially shocked and flustered. Then, suddenly, he calmed down...

Wait a minute? Where did Larilu go? What's she planning to do?
