Then let them offer their loyalty!

But this doesn't mean he's really just a director.

Don't forget, like Tang Feifei, he is a regional lord and a fourth-order Cataclysm.

It was only because he lacked experience and connections that he couldn't rise to the position of vice speaker in one step. That's why he was promoted step by step, with trusted confidants assigned to him, to build up his seniority.

Therefore... the position of Director of the New Territories City Investigation Department was merely a transitional one for him.

His gaze and thoughts had already fallen upon Dongye Prefecture...

Just like how he helped Tang Feifei get promoted before, and how he let La Riluo go this time, he was actually paving the way for his future...

Let's leave La Riluo aside for now and focus on Tang Feifei.

Imagine Qiu Tu becoming the vice speaker. Of the seven speakers, two are his own people, plus his three votes.

Such a small group could immediately rival Huang Shangzong and put enormous pressure on him.

And all of this was planned and accumulated by Qiu Tu little by little...

......

Time flies.

Soon, the next day arrived.

A lot happened that night.

The Security Bureau, the investigation system's oversight department, and the Attendant's Office each dispatched three groups of people to investigate Lariel's escape.

However, Qiu Tu did this without leaving any trace.

So, no matter how much they investigated, they couldn't find a single clue.

All the evidence and testimonies point to this as an accident.

Except for... Ellie.

During the investigation, Ellie repeatedly emphasized that she had fallen into a trap and was ambushed.

She shattered the "Soul Shackles" altar because someone attacked her, making her dizzy.

However... because these are all subjective testimonies, the three investigation teams can only take them into consideration and they cannot be used as direct evidence.

Therefore, Ellie is now also confined to Yan Chen's garden villa and cannot go anywhere.

Fortunately... she had her two best friends by her side.

Hmm... and "Qiu Tu" too.....

Garden villa, Yan Yan's room...

With her hands and feet bound behind her back, Yan Yan knelt on the ground, her innocent face upturned, looking at Qiu Tu with a pleading expression.

"Master... I have successfully completed the task you assigned me. Is there anything else you would like me to do?"

Chapter 401 Rewarding Yan Yan (10,000 words, please vote!)

Upon hearing Yan Yan's words, Qiu Tu, who was standing in front of her, looked at her with a strange expression.

To be honest... when Qiu Tu was scheming against Ellie, he didn't actually place his hopes on Yan Yan.

After all, Yan Yan's "loyalty" is too low.

So low that if she weren't Yan Chen's daughter and Ellie's best friend, Qiu Tu wouldn't even give her a second glance and would immediately label her a villain.

Even though Yan Yan kept trying to get close to Qiu Tu and even betrayed various information about Ellie and Xue'er.

Including their personalities and weaknesses: gamblers, yandere.

Including their conflict with Qiu Tu: Jia Shu is Xue'er's "white moonlight".

It even includes their apartment layout, physical characteristics, and so on.

When Qiu Tu first learned of this information, he was actually somewhat skeptical.

However... when he asked Tang Feifei to help him find someone to inquire around the shelter, he discovered that... the information Yan Yan had given him was most likely true!

Even so, Qiu Tu still didn't believe her, suspecting she was a "wolf in sheep's clothing".

So... even if Qiu Tu was going to target Ellie, he had other backup plans.

As it turned out, to everyone's surprise, Yan Yan actually completed the plan with a loyalty score of "27".

After the incident, Qiu Tu went to the scene and recounted the entire situation to Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng.

He couldn't say for sure what others might say, but he was 100% certain that what finally made Ellie make up her mind was Yan Yan's words.

Even without those words, Qiu Tu would still have found a way to carry out the plan, but... even sages judge by actions, not intentions.

Judging from what has happened so far, Yan Yan has played a crucial role.

Therefore, Qiu Tu also specially smuggled himself from "Boundless Heart Sea" to Yan Chen's villa to meet with Yan Yan.

He was genuinely curious about what was going on behind Yan Yan's angelic face...

Of course, Qiu Tu always knew the principle that you must give before you can receive.

To figure out what Yan Yan is thinking, Qiu Tu must first make some sacrifices.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu looked at Yan Yan, who was kneeling in front of him, begging and flattering him.

With a slight mental movement, he locked the door completely from the inside.

To be honest, even now, he still harbors a lot of doubts and wariness towards Yan Yan.

But... humans are truly strange creatures.

The opinions of those below can always be determined by those above.

So, after Yan Yan really enjoyed the meal, Qiu Tu's opinion of her gradually changed.

'Perhaps... I really did misunderstand her?'

Is there a reason why her loyalty level is stuck?

After finding several reasons for himself, Qiu Tu had only one thought left in his mind.

I've really unlocked a hidden gem!

How could Yan Chen's daughter look so innocent, yet be such a slut!

Meanwhile, as Qiu Tu was thinking this...

A notification popped up in front of him.

"Yan Yan's loyalty increased by 7, now her loyalty is 34."

Upon seeing this rather strange notification, Qiu Tu's head was filled with question marks: ???

What the heck?

Why increase loyalty at this time?

Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but glance at Yan Yan.

But perhaps his gaze made Yan Yan misunderstand.

'This girl is poisonous.'

After silently admonishing himself, Qiu Tu did not reward Yan Yan any further.

Instead, they started talking about serious business.

He looked at Yan Yan intently and then said, "You did a very good job this time."

"It even surprised me a little."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yan stuck out her pink little tongue and licked her lips, just like a little glutton.

Then she looked at Qiu Tu in a fawning manner and asked, "So, what other plans does Master have for me?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu looked down at her and said, "As for arrangements... there are some."

Qiu Tu asked, "Does Ellie suspect you now?"

Yan Yan crawled to Qiu Tu's side using both hands and feet, then gently rubbed her head against Qiu Tu's thigh and said, "Master, Ellie was a little suspicious of me at first."

"They even had a heated argument with me."

"But... I didn't do anything, I just cried. Then I said I didn't want to tell her in the first place, but she kept asking."

"Moreover, I reminded her several times that this could be a trap, but she was just being stubborn."

As she rubbed against Qiu Tu's thigh, Yan Yan closed her eyes in comfort.

She said softly, "Perhaps because I cried so genuinely, Ellie gradually became a little flustered. In the end, we made up."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled, then stroked her hair like he was petting a puppy, and said, "You did a good job."

"They did not betray my trust."

After saying that, Qiu Tu said, "Next, I hope you can continue to gain their trust."

"So... I want you to report me."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yan Yan was stunned. She looked up, her innocent face filled with surprise, "Report the master?"

Qiu Tu nodded, continuing to stroke her head while gazing intently out the window, and said, "Yes. Report me to the investigation team. Say it was my conspiracy."

"I was the one who told you the news, and then led Ellie into the trap step by step."

Yan Yan's face was full of confusion, clearly not understanding why Qiu Tu did this.

Qiu Tu glanced at her loyalty score of "34", thought for a moment, and then offered a few words of explanation.

"Don't worry... Your report will only make Ellie trust you more, it won't have any other effect."

"After all... you are Yan Chen's daughter and Ellie's best friend."

"With your background, you're making baseless accusations against me without any evidence. Do you think the investigation team will believe you?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yan Yan's face showed a hint of realization. She then continued to kneel at Qiu Tu's feet, rubbing her head against his leg like a pet.

Qiu Tu didn't pay attention to her strange preferences. He continued, "Only by concealing your identity can you continue to provide value to me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yan closed her eyes, rubbing against him as she softly asked, "But, Master, Ellie should also know that my report won't have any effect, right?"

"Can she still really trust me?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Don't worry. She will definitely believe you."

"I've already prepared a plan for you two to get back together."

Qiu Tu reached out and pinched Yan Yan's beautiful little face, saying, "The only problem is that you might have to suffer a little."

After saying that, Qiu Tu seemed to realize something and changed his mind, saying, "No, you should be even more excited..."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yan Yan's face immediately lit up with a look of longing. She stuck out her tongue and looked at Qiu Tu with a fawning expression...

.......

And so, having quietly arranged the follow-up to Yan Yan's book, Qiu Tu "changed worlds" and silently left the villa from the "Boundless Heart Sea - New Territories Area".

However, as he left the villa, Qiu Tu took a deep look at the number "34" above Yan Yan's head.

To be honest, perhaps because of his trust in the cheat system, Qiu Tu always felt that Yan Yan's loyalty was very dangerous.

It was something he simply couldn't believe.

Moreover... up to this point, Yan Yan has not told Qiu Tu why she betrayed Ellie and Yan Chen.

Qiu Tu felt as if she harbored one mystery after another...

However, he doesn't have the mood or energy to understand a girl's thoughts right now.

Anyway, as long as it doesn't affect his plans, and we just keep an eye on things, that's fine...

.......

And just like that, a day passed quickly.

The next day, following Qiu Tu's instructions, Yan Yan summoned the investigation team and reported Qiu Tu!
