Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 538 - 331
It was all just an act, a show of neither opposition nor cooperation.
But now that Lai Shun and Yan Chen had an incident, the two immediately changed their stance, actively approaching Qiu Tu to ingratiate themselves.
Qiu Tu, however, didn’t turn them away.
After all... he had no personal vendetta against them, and they were both quite capable. With them around, the Political Department could operate more smoothly.
The great man had said it well, "Have more friends, fewer enemies."
Subordinates like these, who only differed in faction but had no personal conflict and were capable, were the kind Qiu Tu was willing to foster.
So, he also took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for both of them, as a gesture of "cooperation."
And when he sent the two of them off, Qiu Tu also checked their loyalty.
Zhang Jian: 31, Cai Peiyuan: 34.
Both within the normal range for subordinates. As long as Qiu Tu’s orders were reasonable and lawful, they would carry them out conscientiously.

Qiu Tu felt this was good enough...
And so, the morning passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, it was noon.
At 11 a.m., Qiu Tu received a call from Director Zhao, saying that someone from the state had come and was inviting Qiu Tu to a high-level meeting in the conference room on the 12th floor.
Already mentally prepared for various possibilities, Qiu Tu quickly straightened out his clothes and then went up to the 12th floor with Tan Huimin.
By this time, the 12th floor was completely locked down, with two rows of guards flanking both sides of the elevator.
Upon seeing Qiu Tu and Tan Huimin arrive, one of the plainclothes young men with a stern face lingered his gaze on Qiu Tu for a moment, saluted, and then stepped aside.
Qiu Tu’s gaze lingered on the stern-faced young man for a moment, then he nodded, and led Tan Huimin to the high-level conference room.
Just as they reached the door of the meeting room, Qiu Tu heard the cursing of old man Liu Xiongyuan!
"Your mother’s farting dog, shut it!"
"You with a leek in your pig’s mouth, what elephant are you trying to become? The Deputy Director died in your motorcade, and all you have is ’It was an accident’?"
"I’m telling you! If it wasn’t for Chairman Huang calling me personally, asking me to keep my cool, I’d have blown your head off with one shot!"
Hearing the raw and vulgar profanities, Qiu Tu was fine, his facial expression unchanged.
Tan Huimin, however, was so surprised her eyes widened, and she kept glancing at Qiu Tu as if to ask if she had heard wrong, that someone from the state would berate Yan Chen so directly and openly?
Qiu Tu shook his head slightly at her, indicating that he would explain it to her later, and then he just stood at the door listening for a while without interrupting.
After Liu Xiongyuan had been swearing at Yan Chen for twenty to thirty seconds and finally began to drink some water to soothe his throat, Qiu Tu managed a smile and knocked on the door.
Shortly after, the door to the high-level conference room was opened from the inside.
A familiar face appeared before Qiu Tu.
Lightly made up, her eyes brimming with affection and a slight upward tilt at the corners of her eyes showed charm in every glance.
It was none other than... Liu Fuping.
Today, Liu Fuping was dressed in a judge’s robe. The slightly oversized robe concealed her enchanting figure.
But this did not hide her charm; on the contrary, it made one even more curious to explore the unknown secrets and allure hidden under each inch of the fabric...
Upon seeing Qiu Tu, Liu Fuping’s eyes lit up slightly, and she reflexively brushed the hair by her cheek, then said softly, "Old leader, long time no see~~"
That seductive look and the faint smile hanging on her lips pulled Qiu Tu back to those embarrassing moments they once shared in the office... in the bedroom... in the car...
Back then, Liu Fuping was a little glutton, her mouth brought Qiu Tu immense pleasure...
Though racy images flitted through his mind, Qiu Tu’s face remained impassive. He smiled and nodded, then said, "Judge Liu, long time no see."
Perhaps overhearing the conversation outside, Liu Xiongyuan inside raised his voice, "Qiu Tu! Is it Qiu Tu that has come?!"
"Come in! Let’s talk!"
Hearing old man Liu’s voice, Qiu Tu replied, then turned to give a couple of instructions to Tan Huimin, telling her to wait outside. After that, he followed Liu Fuping into the high-level conference room.
The conference room was already full of people by then. The few senior officials who had not died or been arrested were all present.
There was Bureau Chief Yan Chen, Deputy Director Tang Feifei, Yu Zhengyi, Special Duties Department Director Lin Ting, Organizational Department Director Shi Youxin, and Public Security Department Director Guan Weihua.
Out of the original nine senior officials, only six remained, a truly sorrowful sight.
And all of this was inseparably linked to Qiu Tu...
This made the senior officials’ gazes at Qiu Tu extremely complicated.
But Liu Xiongyuan was here precisely to support Qiu Tu, so upon seeing Qiu Tu, Liu Xiongyuan showed his first smile since arriving at Xinjie City Investigation Bureau.
The dark-skinned old man beckoned to Qiu Tu, then smiling, he said, "Qiu Tu, you’ve done very well this time."
"The United Front went too far this time, attacking the Deputy Director on the street, and even succeeded."
"Fortunately, you arrested the United Front Special Combat Team right after the incident."
"Otherwise, we in the state would’ve had to face criticism from the Sanctuary."
As soon as Qiu Tu entered the meeting room, Liu Xiongyuan set the tone for the work of the Political Department: meritorious.
This essentially absolved Qiu Tu of responsibility in this matter.
After all, the Political Department was responsible for intelligence work, and there was an implicit responsibility for the attack on the Bureau Chief.
Knowing they were among shrewd people, the senior officials once again looked at Qiu Tu with complicated expressions.
