LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 355_2
```
In that way, even if it was discovered that he was the one who leaked the information, he could always claim it was well-intentioned...
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but "hehe" with a laugh.
It seems... not many people have faith in my mission this time.
Honestly, since the invasion of the two Evil Gods, even Qiu Tu himself was feeling nervous.
But... he had no choice.
The Xinjie Territory was the foundation for a series of plans he had in mind!
Regardless of Deputy Directors, Deputy Speakers, or Pseudo Fourth Orders, even Becoming a God, all required him to become the Domain Master of the Xinjie Territory!
Thus, this mission, he had no retreat!
And the only thing that gave Qiu Tu any semblance of reassurance was... up to this point, "Crisis Intuition" had not issued any warnings.
This indicated that this "Dare-to-Die Team" mission should have a high likelihood of not being life-threatening...
For Qiu Tu, that meant there was still a glimmer of hope worth fighting for!
With this in mind, Qiu Tu's gaze became resolute!
...
Meanwhile, at the same time, in the office of the Special Duties Department Director.
Lin Ting, one of the six high-ranking officials of the Investigation Bureau and the Special Duties Department Director, was also on the phone.
"Old Shi, it's you guys in management who are really sly!"
"The ideas you come up with are really ruthless!"
"I just made a few comments expressing concern for Qiu Tu's safety and let someone leak the news of Qiu Tu volunteering to be the 'Dare-to-Die Team' captain, along with the news of the Evil Gods' invasion."
"In no time at all, word has spread throughout the Bureau. And even if Qiu Tu knows that I leaked the news, he couldn't catch me out."
"Hahaha. It's incredibly underhanded; I love it."
"I guess I've really given Director Yan a taste of his own medicine!"
"That double-dealing jerk Qiu Tu! He's got the comeuppance he deserves!"
On the other end of the line, Organizational Department Director Shi Youxin was chuckling at Lin Ting's words but inwardly shaking his head.
True to form, a man of action, simple-minded with developed limbs.
What use is an excuse? Does Qiu Tu really need a reason if he wants to mess with you?
The real safe ones are people like me... who command others to charge into battle while remaining invisible behind the scenes.
As Shi Youxin was thinking this...
Lin Ting, after a moment of self-satisfaction, asked, "By the way, Old Shi, do you think by pushing Qiu Tu to the Boundless Heart Sea we can really keep him there?"
Hearing Lin Ting's words, Shi Youxin chuckled and said, "Minister Lin, you're really worrying too much."
"This is an Evil God invasion we're talking about!"
"Two Evil Gods in their True Bodies have come to this region to begin infiltrating the whole world."
"They will search the world for the various 'Leyline Nodes'! And then they will permeate them!"
"During this time, they will repeatedly sweep through the entire world."
"Do you think they won't encounter the 'Dare-to-Die Team'?"
"Unless Qiu Tu has some precognitive powers or Infinite Vision, he simply can't avoid the Evil Gods' scouring!"
"So... if originally their 7-day exploration period had a 10% chance of survival, now, it's practically close to zero..."
Hearing Shi Youxin's words, Lin Ting couldn't help but burst into "haha" laughter, "That's great! That's great!"
"As long as we can keep Qiu Tu there, I'd be happy to have fun with 10 more ladies tonight!"
Hearing Lin Ting's words, Shi Youxin laughed and shook his head, then said, "Minister Lin, don't get too excited too early. Now we still have to consider the opinions of Director Tang, Commissioner Jiang, and Colonel Lin."
"If they think the situation has worsened too much and there is no need to continue this exploration, then our strategy will be in vain."
Hearing Shi Youxin's words, Lin Ting laughed "haha" a couple of times, then said, "Minister Shi, you don't know the whole story..."
"Do you think I really am a brute?"
After speaking, he hinted in a low voice, "Have you ever heard that you can't write two 'Lin' characters with a single stroke?"
Hearing Lin Ting's words, Shi Youxin was suddenly startled.
His mouth agape in thought, he then lowered his voice and asked softly, "Major General Lin Chuan, is he your..."
Lin Ting, with a chuckle, said, "Cousin. But the kind from childhood, we grew up playing together."
"When I first came to Xinjie City, it was also because I felt it would be good to have him for support, and it would be convenient for me to carry out my work."
"Back then, we were only one rank apart; who would have thought he's now one of the top three bigwigs of Boundary City..."
Shi Youxin, upon hearing this, nodded thoughtfully...

Meanwhile, at the same time, on the 12th floor, in the Bureau Chief's office.
Tang Feifei stood by the window, her voice cold as ice, talking on the phone.
Her wheatish complexion looked terrible, and her eyes were full of coldness!
She was like a leopardess guarding her territory, her voice cold as she said, "I disagree!"
"The whole point of selecting a Dare-to-Die Team is to find out the situation in the Xinjie District! To see if we can still push forward with the 'Great Expansion Plan'!"
"Now, it's become clear. There are two Evil Gods currently invading the Xinjie District!"
"What need is there for further inquiry? Isn't this just sending Qiu Tu to his death for nothing?"
Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Commissioner Jiang on the other side of the phone said helplessly, "Director Tang. I don't want this either..."
"But... you know the situation."
"Last night, 80 Dare-to-Die Team candidates drank the 'Cataclysmic Potion,' over fifty died, leaving only 23."
"Now, if we cancel the mission, what do we do with these 23 people? Who takes responsibility for the fifty-plus deaths?"
"Moreover... if the Speaker hadn't signed off, there would still be room to maneuver. But last night, the Speaker already signed off."
"Just now, the Speaker's Attendant's Room even called me to inquire about the mission status."
