Then let them offer their loyalty!

However, he was fast, but Qiu Tu was even faster!

His speed was the limit for ordinary humans! But... Qiu Tu had already completely transformed and was no longer an ordinary human!

So, the next second, Qiu Tu waved his hand!

Lin Ting flew back at an even faster speed!

A deafening "BOOM!" was heard!

Lin Ting was embedded in the wall of the high-rise conference room in the shape of the Chinese character "大" (big)!

Upon witnessing this scene, the senior executives present all had their pupils slightly contracted, their hearts churning like a stormy sea!

But that wasn't the end of it.

Although Lin Ting's abilities are average, he still possesses strength and resilience.

So even though he was knocked away by Qiu Tu in one move, he still roared and charged forward, refusing to believe it!

The next second! "Boom!"

He kept charging!

He kept getting knocked away!

He was knocked away five or six times like that.

The high-ranking officials present, including Lin Ting, finally realized a fact they could hardly believe: in front of Qiu Tu, Lin Ting was like a child, completely powerless to fight back!

But... Lin Ting is already a peak second-tier Cataclysm.

Could it be that Qiu Tu...?

Is it a Tier 3 Cataclysm?

how can that be!

Just then, Qiu Tu finally got up.

He slowly stood up, then looked at Lin Ting, who was spitting blood, covered in wounds, and staggering against the wall, and his aura suddenly exploded!

An aura far surpassing Lin Ting's, like that of a prehistoric beast, instantly swept through the entire high-level conference room!

Among the high-ranking officials present, Lin Ting was the strongest. Others like Guan Weihua and Yu Zhengyi were second-tier Cataclysmics, while Shi Youxin was only a first-tier peak Cataclysmic.

Such strength is completely insignificant in front of Qiu Tu, a third-tier Cataclysm!

So in that instant, they felt as if they were carrying hundreds of kilograms of weight, and their backs hunched over!

What's even more terrifying is that the aura seemed to follow them like a shadow, choking them and making it much harder for them to even breathe!

"Third...third order."

Of the group, Lin Ting was actually in the best condition.

Although he was physically injured, his strength was still there, so even though Qiu Tu's aura still put a lot of pressure on him, he could still speak and act normally.

He stared wide-eyed at Qiu Tu, his face filled with disbelief. "You... how could you possibly be a Tier 3 Cataclysm?"

"It's fake, it's fake... it must be fake."

After saying that, he roared again and charged forward!

Qiu Tu had already shown him leniency on previous occasions, but seeing Lin Ting unleash his full power now, he still didn't hold back. So Qiu Tu decided to stop holding back altogether!

He looked at Lin Ting rushing towards him, and suddenly clenched his right hand!

The next second! Lin Ting felt as if he had been gripped in the palm of an invisible hand, and his body suddenly compressed!

"Crack, crack, crack..." The sound of bones breaking, accompanied by Lin Ting's scream of "Ahhh!", echoed in the empty conference room!

Blood spurted out, and the body twisted in agony!

Two seconds later, when Qiu Tu released his grip, Lin Ting slowly collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud...

However, Qiu Tu did the simplest thing at this moment: he gently patted the wrinkles on his clothes and sat back in his seat.

Then he looked up at the several senior executives who were still standing on either side of the conference room, trembling and not yet recovered from their shock, and said...

“I understand that Minister Lin Ting is dissatisfied with me, and I also accept that Minister Lin Ting is trying to influence this meeting using traditional shelter methods.”

"But... I am still someone who likes to win people over with virtue."

"Violence cannot solve problems."

"Therefore, I would like to ask Minister Lin to take a break for a while. It will not affect our meeting."

"Now, Minister Lin will no longer interfere in our meetings." With that, Qiu Tu lightly tapped the somewhat worn-out conference table, then took a deep breath and said loudly,

"Therefore, ...let's have a meeting!"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, and seeing the broken tiles and ruins scattered everywhere, and Lin Ting lying in a pool of blood, his life hanging in the balance...

Even cunning and shrewd individuals like Yu Zhengyi and Shi Youxin looked somewhat pale at this moment.

They suppressed their fear, apprehension, and panic, and tried their best to walk normally to their positions.

However, their slightly trembling hands revealed their inner turmoil.

The excellent traditions of shelters certainly have some merit.

After Qiu Tu and Lin Ting got into a fight, the entire meeting went incredibly smoothly.

Almost every time Qiu Tu made a suggestion, Yu Zhengyi, Shi Youxin, and Guan Weihua would force a smile and agree.

So, the high-level meeting ended in no time.

Qiu Tu's plan to consolidate power was a great success!

So, he picked up the teacup on the table with satisfaction, took a sip, said "Meeting adjourned," and then leisurely stood up.

To be honest, he suddenly understood Liu Xiongyuan and Old Master Tang a little better.

Such meetings are indeed efficient and interesting.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu, along with a somewhat absent-minded Tan Huimin, pushed open the conference room door.

Outside the door, several high-ranking secretaries and several special agents on duty were waiting.

Clearly, they had heard the commotion coming from the conference room, but because they didn't know what had happened, they could only stay outside the door and dared not come in.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu emerge, they immediately saluted, "Director Qiu!"

Qiu Tu smiled and nodded, then left the conference room with Tan Huimin in a cheerful mood.

After Qiu Tu left, the secretaries and agents from the Special Operations Department dared to peek into the meeting room.

When they saw the dilapidated high-level conference room, the high-ranking officials holding a meeting amidst a pile of broken tiles and rubble, and Lin Ting lying in a pool of blood, his life hanging in the balance, they were all stunned.

The next second, Lin Ting's secretary exclaimed, "Minister! Minister! What's wrong with you!" This brought them back to their senses.

Upon seeing Lin Ting's secretary rush into the conference room, the other secretaries exchanged glances and cautiously followed suit, approaching their respective superiors. "Director." "Minister." "Minister."

At that moment, Yu Zhengyi and Guan Weihua saw Lin Ting lying in a pool of blood, sighed slightly, and shook their heads. Then they got up and left the office with their secretary.

Before leaving, Yu Zhengyi whispered, "Old Lin, Old Lin... was this beating really unavoidable?"

He was referring to the incident a couple of days ago when Lin Ting almost got beaten up for disagreeing with Tang Feifei.

So, whether or not Lin Ting was still conscious, upon hearing those devastating words, his body twitched twice more!

Upon seeing this, Lin Ting's secretary became even more frightened and quickly picked up the communicator to call the medical department.

Upon witnessing this scene, Shi Youxin's expression was complex, along with... lingering fear.

After all, it wasn't just Lin Ting who caused Qiu Tu trouble lately, but also him...

.......

The Investigation Bureau has no secrets.

It's even harder to keep something that so many people know about it a secret.

So, the very next day, right after they started work, an explosive piece of news spread throughout the various departments of the Investigation Bureau: the newly appointed Deputy Director, Qiu Tu, had been beaten up by Lin Ting, the head of the Special Operations Department!

According to sources, a meeting was held last night by senior officials due to an unexpected incident.

During the meeting, Lin Ting got into a fight with Qiu Tu because of an old grudge between them.

Qiu Tu was no match for Lin Ting and was beaten so badly that he ended up in the medical ward.

The rumor was so detailed and convincing that many people believed it.

After all... who is Lin Ting? The head of the Special Operations Department, and the chief instructor of all Special Operations Department agents.

Even though ordinary agents didn't know what a Cataclysm was, Lin Ting's explosive power, speed, and strength, which far exceeded those of ordinary people, made them realize that Lin Ting was extraordinary.

This is something that many agents have witnessed firsthand.

As for Qiu Tu... although he seems to have had quite a few legendary events,... most of them involved using "guns".

Hand-to-hand combat in a high-level meeting certainly can't involve guns. So it's logical that Qiu Tu suffered a loss.

However... the turning point came when Qiu Tu and Lin Ting came to work.

Qiu Tu was completely unharmed; he was neither injured nor affected in the slightest.

But Lin Ting... was different.

It's possible that the Cataclysmic Artifacts and Cataclysmic Medicines used to treat the Suicide Squad during this period left the medical department with no remaining artifacts or medicines. It's also possible that Qiu Tu deliberately prevented the medical department from using medicines.

Anyway... Lin Ting was wrapped up like a mummy, and he was limping, leaning on a cane, being helped to the investigation department by his secretary...

Seeing this, all the detectives, section chiefs, and department heads who were watching were a little stunned.

Didn't they say that Minister Lin beat up Director Qiu?

How come... Minister Lin is so seriously injured now? And Director Qiu seems perfectly fine?

This rumor is way too small!

Suddenly, everyone in the investigation department became even more curious about the truth behind last night's meeting...

Chapter 368 They're talking nonsense. (10,000 words, please vote!)

Humans are very strange creatures.

If you tell him a high-level secret directly, he'll at most just be a spectator, and after the initial surprise, he'll probably forget about it quickly.

But... if I tell him a false secret, and then reveal some suspicious clues...

Then... their curiosity will be ignited. And they will start trying every means to uncover the truth.

Furthermore, the truths uncovered in this way become particularly easy to circulate privately because they are "cherished".

So, if you want everyone to know about something, then deliberately and clumsily suppress or conceal it!

More and more people will dig into this matter, learn about it, and secretly spread it...

The same applies to the fight between Qiu Tu and Lin Ting.

After discovering that the rumors were problematic, many mid-level department heads and section chiefs quietly went to find out the truth.

However, they discovered that a gag order had been placed on what happened yesterday. None of the participants were allowed to disclose anything to the outside world.

But this was no match for these seasoned veterans. Through various sweet talk and persistent pleading, they gradually managed to "pry" the truth out of them...

"Director Tang is out, so Director Qiu is temporarily managing the Investigation Department?"

"Is Minister Lin Ting dissatisfied with Deputy Director Qiu, and thus provoked him?"

'And the result... he was completely humiliated by Director Qiu? He didn't even have a chance to fight back?'

Because most section chiefs and department heads are either Cataclysms or have the authority to know about Cataclysms.

Therefore, they soon learned about the balance of power between the two sides.

'Minister Lin Ting is at the peak of the second tier? But Director Qiu Tu is... a third-tier Cataclysmic Being?!'

'The same strength as Director Yan and Director Tang?!'

This truth, combined with the previous reversal, truly left all the middle managers who inquired about this matter completely dumbfounded.
