Then let them offer their loyalty!

Soon, they received information from the shelter that "the shelter held an emergency meeting of the speaker in order to prepare for Qiu Tu's promotion application materials."

And then...they were shocked once again!

Speaker's meeting!?

This is the highest-level meeting in the Eighth Shelter. It's usually convened separately only when discussing various confidential and important matters.

This indicates that this matter is extremely important, and even the members of the Sanctuary's Supreme Council will not know about it for a short period of time.

So, this time it was actually convened for Qiu Tu?

What exactly did Qiu Tu do?

'Did this not only make him confident enough to become the Vice Speaker of Dongye State, but also alarm those truly important figures in the shelter?'

To be honest, at this point, the curiosity of the high-ranking officials in the 16 cities about Qiu Tu had truly reached its peak.

However, because this matter clearly had a significant impact, they dared not secretly contact Qiu Tu to inquire. They could only anxiously watch Old Master Wang's movements, hoping to obtain firsthand information...

.....

Meanwhile, in Tung Yip Chau, New Territories.

Qiu Tu didn't pay much attention to the notice issued by the shelter after receiving it.

Compared to the publicly released itinerary information from Mr. Wang, the notification he received was significantly more comprehensive.

In the notification he received, the shelter's higher-ups first congratulated him on slaying the fourth-tier evil god "Whale Shark," and then suggested that Elder Wang would personally investigate the details of the matter. If everything was confirmed to be in order, Qiu Tu would be directly promoted to vice speaker.

While they claimed to be "inquiring about the details of the incident," both sides actually knew that Mr. Wang had come to examine the traces on the whale carcass and the lingering scent of Qiu Tu.

If it is verified that Qiu Tu truly possesses the strength to slay a fourth-tier evil god, then the sanctuary will approve Qiu Tu's advancement.

This wasn't directed at Qiu Tu; it was just part of the normal inspection process.

Moreover, Qiu Tu was the one who killed the whale shark, so he had no worries at all.

Furthermore, the New Territories is now arguably the safest city in Tung Chee Chau, so no further preparations are needed for Mr. Wang's inspection.

This also meant that Qiu Tu's mind wasn't on Old Wang's arrival at all, but rather on his next target, "Scarface"...

......

New Territories City, Investigation Department, Special Branch, Information Surveillance Bureau.

In the listening room, Qiu Tu sat in the main seat, with Chen Feng beside him, while a dozen agents were busy in front of several brand-new instruments.

These instruments were obtained by Yan Chen and Jia Shu from Vice President Tian through extortion seven or eight months ago.

At the time, Vice Chairman Tian's mistress was suspected of being a spy for the Alliance and was subsequently arrested.

In order to exonerate Jia Shu, Vice President Tian made various bribes.

At that time, New Territories City was in dire need of reconstruction. In order to obtain the instrument that could monitor the city's communication lines, Jia Shu helped Vice Chairman Tian silence his mistress.

This led to a series of subsequent events.

As it turned out, not long after acquiring this equipment, Jia Shu fell from grace. And so... after all the twists and turns, this equipment unexpectedly became Qiu Tu's trump card.

'Jia Shu is really something. He gave me a wife and equipment too…' Qiu Tu commented earnestly, resting his chin on his hand and silently watching the dozen or so professional agents operate the equipment.

"We have a signal! We have a signal!"

"Lock on! Lock on quickly!"

Just then, as Qiu Tu was lost in thought, shouts rang out from the agents in the monitoring room.

"Cannot lock on! It's an encrypted signal! There's interference and relaying from the signal source!"

"Don't panic, let's trace back to the source!"

"Give me some time, just one minute! One minute is enough!"

Hearing the shouts of the agents, Qiu Tu sat up slightly and looked over.

Sure enough, the dozen or so agents skillfully began operating the equipment.

Because it was a chaotic era, neither the methods of tracking nor the methods of counter-tracking were very strong.

To some extent, it's a contest of resources and luck.

Compared to anti-government forces, official forces like Qiu Tu naturally have far more resources.

In addition, there was the red-haired mole who deliberately stalled for time, creating opportunities for the eavesdroppers.

So very quickly, a minute later, a cheer erupted in the listening room!

"We've caught them! We've caught the source of the signal!"

With that cheer, a few lines of information appeared on the electronic screen the next second.

Name: Lin Fan, Occupation: Businessman, Registered Location: Wuhai City

This is clearly the information of the real owner of the communicator used by Scarface.

It's unclear whether this person is connected to Scarface or simply unlucky enough to have lost their communicator and let Scarface get it...

My gaze swept over the registration information on the communicator, and the electronic screen refreshed the next second.

Qiu Tu stared intently at the screen, where a miniature electronic map of the New Territories appeared.

Among them, one red dot, like a star, twinkled faintly in the center of the map, slightly to the east...

Upon discovering that the signal had been located, the agents quickly zoomed in on the map to narrow down the signal's location.

Qiu Tu sat up straight and watched as well.

Soon, the approximate target location was locked onto the screen.

'Those satellite villa complexes near Yongsan Road?'

Qiu Tu silently recited the location of Scarface's hiding place in his mind, then tilted his head to look at Chen Feng standing next to him.

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng immediately bowed expressionlessly and said, "Chief, I will take men to investigate right away."

Qiu Tu was quite confident in Chen Feng's abilities.

Compared to the impulsive Guan Xiao, Chen Feng is much more mature and steady, and he does things in a more measured and methodical way.

If you entrust anything to him, he might not bring Qiu Tu any surprises, but... he will definitely not cause any problems.

Therefore, it is just right to entrust such an important target as investigation and surveillance to him.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu nodded and hummed in agreement.

After saying "Hmm," Qiu Tu pondered for a moment, then added, "It's possible that the other party possesses medium- to long-distance teleportation equipment."

"We must not alert the enemy."

"Yes." Upon hearing Qiu Tu's instructions, Chen Feng quickly responded and then led his men out of the monitoring room.

At Qiu Tu's current position, he no longer needs to do everything personally; he can simply delegate it to his subordinates.

Therefore, seeing that the most important part of the matter had been resolved, Qiu Tu did not linger any longer.

He instructed Ding Xiaoliu to keep an eye on things here, and then he returned to the director's office on the 12th floor to prepare for Old Wang's arrival the next day.

Soon, two or three hours had passed.

"Buzz buzz buzz," Qiu Tu's communicator finally rang.

Qiu Tu picked up the communicator and said "hello".

Chen Feng's cold voice came from the other end of the communicator, "Chief, the target has been locked."

"Including the target, there are a total of 8 people on the other side. No heavy weapons have been detected yet, but fluctuations of cataclysmic power have been detected."

"Please give instructions."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Qiu Tu did not immediately give the order to take action.

He pondered for a moment, then gave the order, "Be careful to stay hidden and continue to investigate the target's situation. Scan for fluctuations in the power of cataclysm from time to time."

"It's best to make sure the opponent doesn't have a teleportation-type cataclysmic artifact before taking action."

"If you're unsure, report back to me tomorrow night and I'll handle it."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Chen Feng quickly replied, "Yes, Director."

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Tu, who was hunched over his desk, twirled the pen in his hand, pondering what to do after taking down "Scarface".

Just then, Shen Lingshuang walked out of the lounge wearing a sexy silk nightgown.

After becoming a fourth-order Cataclysm, Qiu Tu's sensory abilities were greatly enhanced.

Therefore, upon sensing Shen Lingshuang emerge from inside, he reflexively snapped back to his senses and looked over.

It has to be said that girls really do change a lot as they grow up.

Eight or nine months ago, Shen Lingshuang was still a skinny, frail girl.

As a result... after just a few months of proper feeding, she became more and more beautiful.

She has large, watery eyes like a deer, a delicate, fair oval face, long, slender, straight legs, and delicate, jade-like feet. She exudes youthful, girlish charm.

Moreover, perhaps due to sufficient protein and other nutrients, her long hair is smooth and shiny, like a black waterfall, naturally falling over her shoulders. Occasionally, a few strands of hair would gently brush against her fair face, adding a touch of cuteness and playfulness to her.

Qiu Tu lingered on her for a moment, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

However, this is a crucial moment for Qiu Tu's promotion and for Dongye Prefecture to end its turmoil. There is no room for carelessness. Therefore, Qiu Tu could only suppress his admiration and wave to Shen Lingshuang, signaling her to go back and rest first.

After spending the whole night preparing, Shen Lingshuang was rejected by Qiu Tu, who seemed oblivious to her feelings. She pouted angrily and went back to her room...

......

And so... nothing more was said that night.

The next morning, Qiu Tu got up very early.

He took a shower and then carefully put on his uniform. Only then did he leave the director's office and begin arranging the welcoming of Elder Wang.

Mr. Wang left the shelter in the morning and arrived around 6 p.m.

As before, almost all 48 councilors from 16 cities came out to greet Mr. Wang on the only road leading from the shelter to Dongyezhou.

Compared to Tang Lao's strictness, Wang Lao was obviously much more easygoing.

Upon seeing the welcoming party, he got out of the car, shook hands with all the councilors in turn, and finally called on Wong Sheung-chung and Lau Hung-yuen to continue their journey to the New Territories.

Qiu Tu met Mr. Wang at 6 p.m.

Perhaps because he came with a mission, after exchanging a few simple pleasantries with Qiu Tu, Old Wang suggested going to Qiu Tu's office to have a chat.

Qiu Tu readily agreed.

The group arrived at Qiu Tu's director's office. Old Wang dismissed everyone except Huang Shangzong and Liu Xiongyuan. Then, with his deep, unfathomable eyes, he looked at Qiu Tu and slowly began to speak.

"Qiu Tu... You should know very well why I'm here on behalf of the shelter."

Today, Mr. Wang was wearing a suit, and although his hair was already gray, it was neatly combed.

In addition, his high nose bridge and tightly closed lips gave him an imposing and authoritative aura, even though he had a slight smile on his face.

This is a big shot whose style of doing things is completely different from that of Mr. Tang.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu didn't delay. He replied, "Yes, Elder Wang."

After saying that, he opened his dimensional space and took out the whale carcass that he had prepared beforehand.

By this time, several days had passed, and the whale's corpse had long since "transformed into boundless divine crystals," so what appeared before them was a body that resembled crystal.

However, even through that blurry body, one can still vaguely discern the shape, appearance, and characteristics of the whale shark.

"It really is a whale shark." Liu Xiongyuan stood up and glanced at it, his surprise still evident in his eyes.

Although he knew Qiu Tu wouldn't lie about something like this, Liu Xiongyuan was still somewhat surprised by Qiu Tu's current strength and terrifying rate of progress after seeing the whale's corpse with his own eyes.

In contrast to Liu Xiongyuan, Huang Shangzong, their enemy, was much calmer...

Having likely already witnessed too many astonishing things Qiu Tu had done, his tiger-like eyes swept indifferently over the whale-like shark's corpse, as if nothing had happened. He then withdrew his gaze, continuing to contemplate his next steps in infiltrating the disaster zone...

Qiu Tu placed the whale carcass on the table and gestured to Elder Wang, saying, "Elder Wang, please examine it." Then he stepped aside.

Standing up, Old Wang walked to the whale carcass, bent down, and carefully examined the wounds and bloodstains on the "Boundless Divine Crystal." Then he closed his eyes and sensed the residual aura on the "Boundless Divine Crystal."

That's right... The aura on the "Boundless Divine Crystal" belongs only to Qiu Tu; there is no one else there.

The fatal wound on the corpse was indeed caused by Qiu Tu's sword strike from mid-air, which matches the footage in the video.
