Let them offer their loyalty!

After the establishment of Dongye State and the Security Bureau, Dai Yukang would handle all related procedures for Qiu Tu, and the appointment documents would be sent over.

By then, Qin Shuman would also officially become the chief of the Xinjie City Security Department.

Afterward, Qiu Tu would be able to contact Qin Shuman via special communication channels using his supervisor identity at the Security Bureau, or even remotely direct the work of the Xinjie City Security Department.

As for whether Qiu Tu would reveal his true identity to Qin Shuman during their communication and direction, that would be entirely up to Qiu Tu to decide.

Dai Yukang had only one requirement: after his departure, the Xinjie City Security Department must stand firm! And during the "Boundless Heart Sea development" period, they must make the contributions they ought to....

After descending the stairs and leaving the hotel, Qiu Tu drove back to the Investigation Bureau in silence, all the while quietly recalling all the details of his interactions with Dai Yukang....

Back at the Investigation Bureau, the agents' attitude toward Qiu Tu was still lukewarm. Although no one was foolish enough to ridicule him outright, their behavior was respectful yet distant.

This was, after all, the normal state of things.

However.... upon arriving at his 11th-floor office in the Administrative Office, Qiu Tu was slightly taken aback.

Because.... someone was standing at the door of his office, waiting for him—Tan Huimin.

Today's Tan Huimin seemed even more beautiful than before.

She still wore her hair in a young wife's bun, revealing her graceful swan neck. Her fair, oval face was the picture of gentle refinement.

Perhaps because she did not have to seduce Qiu Tu on her husband's orders today, she had changed into an Investigation Bureau agent's uniform.

Only, because the uniform fit her too well, it did nothing to conceal the substantial heft of her chest beneath.

When she saw Qiu Tu, her face squeezed out a smile, and she took the initiative to approach him.

In fact, since yesterday when he had given the Zheng Tao files to Tan Huimin and sent her to the Security Department, Qiu Tu had thought that their relationship and fate had come to an end.

Although he was still somewhat covetous of the beautiful young wife, he considered himself to have some lines he wouldn't cross: he would take advantage of an enemy's woman if he could; but when it came to regular women, if they weren't willing, he wouldn't force them.

There were plenty of women in the world, and he had no reason to stoop to deplorable acts.

Later, when Tan Huimin disappeared for an entire day and did not show up today, Qiu Tu naturally assumed that after figuring everything out, she had left.

Who would have thought... the duck that had flown away would fly back?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu glanced over Tan Huimin twice, then nodded and casually commented, "That's more like it."

"You coming to work dressed like that every day had caused quite a stir among the investigators of the Investigation Bureau downstairs."

"In their eyes, I'm probably becoming a devil amongst devils."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin smiled gently, then said, "The chief is no devil amongst devils, but rather... an angel amongst devils."

Surprised by Tan Huimin's jesting remark, Qiu Tu hadn't expected that in just one day, she appeared to be a completely different person.

What exactly had she been through?

While thinking this, Qiu Tu didn't sit idle; he "tsked" and retorted, "Well, whether it's a devil or an angel, I'm just a lecher in disguise, huh?"

The two of them chatted casually as they made their way to the office.

Qiu Tu took out his keys, opened the office door, and walked in.

Inside the office, Qiu Tu casually tossed the keys on the desk and, seemingly indifferent, pointed to his spartan new office, remarking, "I was just transferred to this clean government office, and the conditions are somewhat lacking."

"But, since you'll be in charge of secretarial tasks, I'll transfer you back to the Administrative Office in a couple of days. You won't have to suffer alongside me."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin swiftly walked to the desk, picked up the keys Qiu Tu had just thrown there, and said, "Chief, I would like to continue being your secretary."

Turning around, Qiu Tu looked at the beautiful young woman in surprise and repeated, "Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I am no longer the powerful vice minister of the Political Department I used to be."

"Your husband has also been arrested."

"So... you don't need to complete his mission and continue to stay by my side. Moreover, even if you did stay, I wouldn't be able to bring you any benefits anymore."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin smiled rather freely, saying, "Chief, I am not here to fulfill anyone's mission, nor have I thought of gaining anything from you."

She continued, "I am just very grateful to you. You made me realize the truth."

Biting her lip, with a hint of hatred in her eyes, Tan Huimin expressed, "And you no longer allowed Zheng Tao to deceive me." Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

At this point, she looked at Qiu Tu tenderly and said, "That's why... I want to repay you."

"You've hit rock bottom right now, so let me help you, take care of you," she offered.

Qiu Tu: ??

Qiu Tu felt that people in this world were all rather strange.

Even though he was clearly out of favor, one by one, they were flocking to his side.

Anyone unaware would think he was about to be appointed Bureau Chief!

However, he really didn't want any more complications, so he waved his hand dismissively, and while sitting down in his office chair, he said, "No need. I appreciate the sentiment."

"The few things I did for you... consider them compensation for my uncalled-for behavior before I knew the truth," he stated.

As he spoke, Qiu Tu picked up the files on his desk and, without looking up, continued, "Moreover, I'm fine now. I don't need you to take care of me or help me out."
