"Now, I will borrow the power of the regional lord to break through to the pseudo-fourth tier!"
"During my breakthrough, Deputy Director Qiu Tu was in charge of all affairs within the Investigation Bureau!"
"All relevant official authorization documents have been processed by my secretary and are on file in the administration office. Senior executives can review them at their convenience!"
"Tang Feifei".
Along with this text message, the next second, the gray night sky of the New Territories suddenly became stormy!
Immediately afterwards, streaks of lightning ripped across the sky! Thunder roared! It was as if something momentous was about to happen!
Accompanied by terrifying celestial phenomena, a massive cataclysmic wave swept across the entire New Territories from the direction of Tang Feifei's villa!
After this terrifying upheaval ended, a half-body martial arts phantom suddenly appeared in the New Territories City's dual control system, composed entirely of golden light spots and lines!
That martial arts phantom stood tall and imposing, its head reaching the very top of the heavens! Its eyes, like deep whirlpools, shone with an indomitable and resolute light, gazing directly at the sky!
This is Tang Feifei's illusory manifestation of the law.
Qiu Tu remembered that when Yan Chen advanced to the pseudo-fourth rank, Secretary Bai had told him:
When a being reaches the fourth rank, its spirit will become increasingly aligned with the path it practices. It will also acquire a portion of the laws of that path, which will eventually become its unique illusory manifestation of those laws.
Looking at Tang Feifei's illusory image of laws now, Qiu Tu felt that if he wasn't mistaken, Tang Feifei's path to catastrophe was likely "Destruction-Martial Arts".
This certainly fits her usual impatient and decisive style.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu also looked away.
He looked at the dark soldiers still kneeling on the ground and said, "Let's begin the operation as I just instructed."
"Since Feifei has already taken action, we can't hold her back."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the dark soldiers responded in unison, "Yes!"
Then one of the teams rolled on the spot, merging with the surrounding shadows and transforming into shadow soldiers.
Their bodies are interwoven with layers of shadows, and their eyes are two eerie lights, like messengers of the night. They stand there, their figures sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.
Upon seeing Qiu Tu nod, it instantly blended into the surrounding darkness, silently slipping into Qiu Tu's shadow.
The other five teams flew back into Qiu Tu's hands, turning into the darkness that resembled asphalt, waiting for Qiu Tu to release them in the New Territories area tonight so they could merge with the giant tree!
After doing all this, Qiu Tu checked the time, tidied his clothes, and then stepped out of his office on the 9th floor, preparing to head to the 12th floor!
On his way to the 12th floor, he took out his communicator and started calling Yu Zhengyi, Shi Youxin, Lin Ting, and Guan Weihua one by one, instructing them to convene an emergency high-level meeting under the pretext of "protecting Tang Feifei's advancement"!
Speed is of the essence in war! These high-ranking officials should still be speechless from the shock of this news! They should also be stunned by the dramatic changes that have occurred in recent days!
Therefore, he must quickly ascertain his position and the subordinate relationship between the two parties at this critical moment! He must seize control of the Investigation Bureau!
What's a deputy director! The real reward for his risking his life on this mission is the director! One of the three giants of the New Territories!

Meanwhile.
When Qiu Tu started making phone calls and convening high-level meetings to prepare to take over the Investigation Department.
Yu Zhengyi, Shi Youxin, Lin Ting, Guan Weihua and other senior executives were indeed shocked by the rapid changes in the situation!
During this period, the situation in the New Territories changed drastically. First, Yan Chen was transferred, then Tang Feifei took over as director, and then the suicide squad operation was launched, with Qiu Tu becoming deputy director.
At this point, things had already left them somewhat overwhelmed, and they felt that the times were changing too fast.
And now... Tang Feifei has actually become the lord of the region and is advancing to a pseudo-fourth-tier Cataclysm?!
What is a regional lord?
The controller of a region within the boundless sea of the mind possesses abilities comparable to those of a god.
Unless you're as incredibly unlucky as Larilu, perfectly countered by one trap after another, otherwise... in your own region, you're a true god!
There isn't a single person like that in the Eighth Shelter now.
As a result, Tang Feifei is now...?
This is just too unbelievable.
It's like... your poor friend suddenly becoming the son of a billionaire, wearing Armani, a green Submariner, and driving away in a Maybach...
However... even though they couldn't believe it a thousand times over, when they saw the golden martial spirit looming over the entire New Territories City, its power overwhelming the city, they had no choice but to believe it...
After all, how could Tang Feifei have broken through to the fourth-tier Cataclysm without a sudden stroke of luck?
Looking at the imposing martial arts phantom, the group couldn't help but think of their former superior: Yan Chen...
Once upon a time, Yan Chen also suddenly advanced to the fourth-tier Cataclysm, just like now, and his illusory law aura suppressed the entire New Territories City.
Now, even the acting director, Tang Feifei, is doing the same thing...
Is there some great fortune associated with the position of Director of the Exploration Department in the New Territories?
Will the next acting director also advance to the fourth rank?
'Huh? Who's the acting director?'
Only after they finished expressing their shock and disbelief did they belatedly review the text message notifications that Tang Feifei had sent them.
"Qiu Tu?"
They kept muttering this name that they both hated and feared.
Yu Zhengyi, Shi Youxin, and the other three were not particularly surprised.
After all, Qiu Tu was Tang Feifei's most important confidant and her intimate partner.
If Tang Feifei doesn't hand over the position of acting director to Qiu Tu, then who can she hand it over to?
However... Tang Feifei is easier to deal with.
Qiu Tu...
That's a real headache for them.
As they were reflecting on this, their communicators started ringing.
They picked up the communicator, and their expressions changed slightly, because the communicator displayed Qiu Tu's number.
'So fast?'
With this in mind, the group answered the phone one by one, and then they all heard from Qiu Tu that an emergency high-level meeting was to be held.
Looking at the bright moon that was already high in the sky, and then at the time that was almost 10 o'clock, the four of them were truly angry but dared not speak out.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and agree.
Then some climbed out of their mistresses' beds, some put on their clothes and left the drinking party, some emerged from the dimly lit study... and from various places, they set off for the investigation department's office building...
Meanwhile.
At a time when the power structure of the Investigation Agency is undergoing dramatic changes.
New Territories City Hall, Office of Commissioner Jiang.
Committee Member Jiang stood by the window, holding a cup of tea in both hands, gazing at the enormous "phantom of law" that stretched halfway between its body and the sky, his expression complex...
Qiu Tu had met him a few times before. His secretary, Tao Yaoyao, stood behind him and asked with some concern, "Uncle, are you alright?"
Hearing Tao Yaoyao's words, Jiang Zhenpeng snapped out of his reverie, frowned, and gently scolded, "How many times have I told you? When you're at work, you have to address people by their job titles."
Upon hearing this, Tao Yaoyao lowered her head and replied, "Yes, Committee Member."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhenpeng's expression softened slightly. He turned his gaze back to the martial arts phantom before speaking, "I just... have some regrets."
"Regret?" Tao Yaoyao was a little confused. "Regret what?"
Jiang Zhenpeng, holding his teacup, said slowly, "I regret that I had high hopes for Qiu Tu back then, but I was always held back by the situation and didn't get to know him better."
Upon hearing Jiang Zhenpeng's words, Tao Yaoyao's delicate face showed even more confusion.
Her eyes were slightly upturned, revealing a natural charm. Her bright eyes, adorned with bold eyeliner, blinked, and she asked, "On the surface, Director Tang becomes the regional lord and then advances to the fourth-tier Cataclysm."
Why did the committee member think of Qiu Tu instead?
Upon hearing Tao Yaoyao's words, Committee Member Jiang did not respond immediately.
He first picked up his teacup and took a slow sip. Then he said, "The Boundless Heart Sea Expansion Project has been underway for over a month. None of the groups have made any progress."
"As a result, once the evil god invaded and everyone retreated, Tang Feifei actually began to advance in rank."
Don't you think there's a problem?
Upon hearing Committee Member Jiang's words, Tao Yaoyao's eyes flickered slightly.
The next second, she said with a hint of realization, "You suspect... that the key information or item that led to Director Tang becoming the regional lord was brought back by Director Qiu?"
Committee Member Jiang nodded slightly. Then he took out a communicator from his pocket and handed it to Tao Yaoyao.
Tao Yaoyao took it and looked at it. Inside was a text message sent to Committee Member Jiang from a secret number.
If Qiu Tu were here right now, he would find that... this text message is exactly the same as the one Tang Feifei sent to several senior executives.
"According to the intelligence brought back by the suicide squad..."
After reading the message, Tao Yaoyao's face showed a thoughtful expression.
After a moment, she said, "The intelligence handed over by the suicide squad was reviewed by the three leaders together. Later, it was also handed over to other high-ranking officials and experts from various factions within the shelter for further review."
"None of you noticed anything related to becoming the ruler of the region. That means that the intelligence report probably doesn't contain any hidden information."
"So... Director Tang probably obtained an additional piece of intelligence."
"And considering the timing of Director Tang's ascension to the regional leadership, as well as the return of the suicide squad members..."
"That intelligence, or that item, was likely obtained by Director Qiu during his three-day solo operation, and then handed over to Director Tang upon his return."
Committee Member Jiang nodded slightly.
He gazed out the window with a blank expression, then said with a touch of melancholy, "I'd heard long ago that Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei's relationship wasn't quite right. Now it seems... it's true."
"That was the ruler of a region. He could have been the true master of a region, a fourth-order Cataclysm, and the vice-chairman. And yet... he just handed it over to someone else like that."
"It is said that even heroes cannot resist the charms of a beautiful woman. The ancients were right."
At this point, he sighed, "If I had known Qiu Tu was such a sentimental person, I should have..."
Perhaps realizing the inappropriateness of his words, Committee Member Jiang abruptly stopped speaking and then fell silent.
Upon hearing Committee Member Jiang's words, Tao Yaoyao's face flushed red, then turned pale...
At this moment, Committee Member Jiang opportunely changed the subject. He said with a smile, as if nothing had happened, "However... Tang Feifei's advancement is also a good thing."
"Now, the Investigation Bureau is in charge. But don't forget... Lin Chuan forced Qiu Tu to his death before. After forcing Qiu Tu to his death and Qiu Tu survived, he still wanted to renege on his promise."
"Given Qiu Tu's personality, he's unlikely to let Lin Chuan go. The real show is about to begin..."
.......
If Tao Yaoyao could figure it out with just a little guidance, then it goes without saying that it would be even easier for other intelligent people.
Meanwhile.
Military Headquarters, Security Department.
Yu Die stood before the floor-to-ceiling window of her office, gazing at the enormous phantom of the law, her eyes filled with a mixture of envy and jealousy...
Recalling the scene in the "Boundless Sea of Hearts" where Tang Feifei forced her away, her hands involuntarily clenched slightly...
.......
Just as undercurrents were swirling within the upper echelons of New Territories City due to Tang Feifei's unexpected "becoming the regional lord" and advancing to the pseudo-fourth tier...
12th floor of the Exploration Department, high-rise conference room.
Qiu Tu finally met Yu Zhengyi, Shi Youxin, Lin Ting and Guan Weihua.
Seeing the four of them arrive looking travel-worn, Qiu Tu nodded slightly and then said with a smile, "You've all had a long journey."
"I had no choice but to hold this emergency meeting so late, and I hope everyone can understand."
