Then let them offer their loyalty!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Okay. No problem. Give me the intelligence then."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yan Chen quietly took a puff of her cigarette, then took out several documents from her "dimensional ring" and handed them to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu reached out and took the documents, and was immediately taken aback upon glancing at them.

Because the first piece of intelligence was so important that it could change the course of the shelter's history!

He frowned slightly, then quickly finished reading the first intelligence report in his hand.

A moment later, he opened the second intelligence report.

The next second, his pupils contracted slightly, and he involuntarily held his breath.

It wasn't that the second piece of intelligence was more shocking, but rather that it concerned someone he valued highly.

This makes the intelligence value of this piece of information, which might be worthless to others, invaluable to Qiu Tu.

After carefully reading through the intelligence report, Qiu Tu turned to the third page and began reading the final analysis Yan Chen had given him.

Compared to the first two intelligence reports, the third analysis was less impressive.

However, there were indeed some viewpoints that Qiu Tu found interesting, or ideas that caught his eye.

Overall, these three documents are indeed invaluable. Any one of them alone would be enough to get Qiu Tu to do them a favor.

Especially since... Yan Chen's need for help isn't heavy.

Therefore, it can be said to be full of sincerity.

'What a talent....'

Even though he already knew that his old boss and enemy was no ordinary person, Qiu Tu still felt a surge of admiration for the talent and... murderous intent upon seeing these three documents.

It's unsettling to leave someone like that, especially an enemy with whom you've had a grudge, out there rather than keep him for your own use.

After all... only a dead enemy is a good enemy.

Just then, Yan Chen coughed as if he had choked on the smoke.

Then he said with a touch of emotion, "When Yan Yan was little... I actually had a very good relationship with her."

"She was only this tall back then..." Yan Chen gestured with her hand, indicating that she was about a head taller than the sofa.

"Back then, she would linger around me all the time."

“When I smoked, she would snatch it from me and not let me smoke. She said that what she learned in ‘academy’ was that smoking is harmful to health.”

Yan Chen forced a smile onto his face, which resembled a withered tree, his eyes filled with loving kindness.

"Later... her mother passed away, and I was too busy to take care of her."

"When I was less busy later and wanted to take care of her, I found that she no longer needed me. She became more and more indifferent to me."

At this point, Yan Chen took a drag of his cigarette. Through the swirling smoke, his face was indistinct, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

"I actually know she hates me, and I also know that she has a rebellious streak."

"But...who hasn't been that age?"

"Seventeen or eighteen is the age of rebellion. As she grows older, she will probably become more sensible."

“After all…” At this point, Yan Chen lowered his head and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray with a bitter smile. “No matter what, I’m her father.”

Qiu Tu: .....

To be honest, all Yan Chen said was just for that final line, "I'm her father."...

This serves as both a reminder to Qiu Tu that there is a "bridge" to ease the conflict between the two. It also serves as a reminder to Qiu Tu that if he kills Yan Chen, then Yan Yan will no longer be usable.

After all, Yan Yan is still too young. Even if she hates Yan Chen now, she might regret it in the future.

And Yan Yan inherited Yan Chen's intelligence. This allowed her to climb to a high position or become a trusted confidante. Plus, she was Qiu Tu's bedmate, so Qiu Tu couldn't sleep soundly at night.

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu's gaze shifted, and he pondered quietly for two seconds before making a decision.

'That's enough. In this extraordinary world, strength reigns supreme. I've already left Yan Chen far behind. If I wanted to kill him, I could just flip the table and kill him anytime. There's no need to kill him at such a sensitive time.'

Moreover, Qiu Tu was also very curious about what Yan Chen could achieve after leaving the four states. Could he really turn the tide?

Of course... more importantly...

Qiu Tu recalled seeing Yan Chen's "loyalty level" above his head when he was the speaker of the Dongye State Assembly.

38 points.

This is definitely a high number for Yan Chen!

A score above 30 indicates that Yan Chen genuinely regarded Qiu Tu as his superior, and that he would carry out and complete any tasks assigned by Qiu Tu.

More importantly, those extra eight points represent Yan Chen's admiration for Qiu Tu...

This suggests that it is still possible to recruit Yan Chen into your ranks.

'Alright, alright, let's let him off the hook for Yan Yan's sake.'

'Anyway, I have the "Hidden Mist Society" as my trump card now. If they really discover that Yan Chen is acting strangely, I'll just send a peak fifth-tier evil god to eliminate him.'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Speaker Yan, I've read through your information. It's really good."

"I agree to the deal between us."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu extended his hand to Yan Chen.

Yan Chen finally smiled and extended his hand to Qiu Tu.

The two hands are clasped together.

Yan Chen spoke up, "Commander Qiu, actually... normally, any one of these three intelligence reports should be enough to get you to help me with this favor."

"But I gave out three portions at once."

"This is because I want to express my sincerity to you. So I also hope that even if I do something wrong, you will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu remained expressionless, but inwardly he was somewhat surprised.

Yan Chen actually came to reconcile with him?

This is truly an incredible surprise...

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "No problem. I also hope to have more cooperation and exchanges with Speaker Yan in the future."

Upon hearing this, Yan Chen also laughed...

After chatting with Yan Chen for a couple more minutes, Qiu Tu saw Yan Chen off at the villa.

After seeing Yan Chen off, Qiu Tu looked through the three documents Yan Chen had left behind.

Just as Yan Chen said, these three documents are actually very valuable. Each one alone could be of great use to Qiu Tu.

The first report covers the movements of "Pang Haichen" and the "academic school".

According to Yan Chen's intelligence, Pang Haichen has been having his trusted subordinates secretly contact some mid-to-high-level officials in the "academic faction" who control military power or are in key departments in the past two days.

I don't know exactly what they talked about.

However... Pang Haichen had a special talk with Yan Chen. The gist of it was that something big might happen in Dongye Prefecture, and that Yan Chen needed to consolidate his power and control the hundreds of thousands of agents in the Investigation Bureau.

This request clearly put Yan Chen on high alert. He searched for clues everywhere. Then he suspected that Pang Haichen was plotting a rebellion.

When Pang Haichen saw off the delegation from the 6th Shelter last time, he specifically talked with Pei Jing for a while.

Yan Chen was worried that Pang Haichen had already persuaded Pei Jing, and that the two of them were trying to control the military forces in Beiyun Prefecture.

This intelligence is absolutely crucial and extremely important.

Because when it comes to rebellion, the outcome can be completely different if it happens an hour earlier or an hour later.

Moreover, Qiu Tu certainly doesn't want to gamble on the "academic" school's execution capabilities.

It's best to nip this spark in the bud...

The second piece of information is related to Secretary Bai, Bai Yu...

According to Yan Chen, Secretary Bai is not actually dead, and his identity is questionable...

Chapter 546 Secretary Bai's Background (10,000 words)

Qiu Tu had guessed that Secretary Bai was not dead.

However, what he didn't know was that there was actually a problem with Secretary Bai's identity.

He remembered that he had seen Secretary Bai's file back then. Secretary Bai's parents were low-ranking military officers who fought alongside Rao Shou to establish the regime.

However, because he died young, only Secretary Bai was left behind.

There were actually quite a few orphans like that back then, so Rao Shou gathered them all together and took care of them.

When they reached a certain age, they naturally needed to receive education and learn, so Rao Shou entrusted them all to the "Officer Academy".

As one of the most patriotic individuals in the shelter, Secretary Bai received an excellent education at the "Officer Academy".

He then started working around the age of 18. After several years of training at the grassroots level, he rose through the ranks and eventually became a high-ranking official in the New Territories City Investigation Department, a staunch confidant of Yan Chen.

However... according to Yan Chen.

The White Secretary recorded in the shelter's files is not real.

Yan Chen said that before he entered the "Officer Academy" to teach, he had served in the military and carried out a special mission.

Not long after the shelter was established, the higher-ups wanted to understand the situation in the entire disaster area, so they sent Yan Chen and others disguised as a caravan to infiltrate the disaster area and collect intelligence.

At that time, Yan Chen and others investigated all the way to the depths of the disaster zone.

It was a desolate place filled with ruins and corpses, resembling a no-man's-land. More importantly... the earth rose from the ground, stretching all the way to the sky, forming steep mountains that pierced the clouds.

All roads end here, or extend into the sky.

At that time, Yan Chen and others compared the map with those from before the Cataclysmic Era and discovered that this was the edge of the Northwest region. Further ahead, there should be some of the most prosperous countries in the world.

They didn't know what was going on at the time.

It wasn't until many years later, when Yan Chen was promoted, that he learned from top-secret intelligence that... the world's topography had already undergone tremendous changes as early as the middle of the Cataclysmic Era.

The arrival of the "Boundless Heart Sea" not only caused catastrophic and extraordinary powers to appear in the real world, but the strong separation between the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" and the "Edge Area" also affected the real world.

Therefore, the earth broke apart and rose up, separating the peripheral and core areas. The high mountains are the dividing line between the peripheral and core areas.

All the peripheral areas have only a few fixed entrances and exits that lead directly to the "central area of ​​the real world".

And it was there that Yan Chen unintentionally saved someone... or rather, an unknown being.

At the time, Yan Chen only discovered a naked man covered in wounds during a reconnaissance mission.

Because she was young and had a conscience, Yan Chen not only disinfected and treated the man, but also gave him some of her own clothes and food.

At that moment, Yan Chen actually felt that something was off about the man, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

When they parted, the man stared intently at Yan Chen and said he would repay her kindness.

Yan Chen never took this seriously.

Several years later, he met Secretary Bai.

Secretary Bai is truly a perfect assistant and partner. Not only does she understand his thoughts and ideas, but she is also exceptionally capable.

No matter what ideas he had, Secretary Bai could guess them immediately and carry them out.

More importantly, Secretary Bai never asked any questions. Whatever Yan Chen did, he would carry it out to the best of his ability.

Secretary Bai even went so far as to come into contact with an evil god without hesitation.

So when Yan Chen was drunk, he jokingly asked Secretary Bai why she was so devoted to him.

Is he interested in his daughter and wants to become her son-in-law?

As a result, Secretary Bai simply smiled brightly at Yan Chen and then said, "Because I've come to repay a debt of gratitude."

In Yan Chen's intelligence report, he described himself as "sobering up instantly."

After that, Yan Chen tried various tests and investigations on Secretary Bai, but all of them came to nothing.
