Let them offer their loyalty!

So he put on a dramatic performance, using his usual spiel he said, "Sister Tang, actually, from the moment I saw you today, I felt an unusual sense of closeness..."

"Just like we have met before."

"These are words I normally shouldn't say. After all, Jia Shu is my boss. If he knew I was talking about his scandals behind his back, he would definitely not let me off."

"But since it's Sister Tang who asked...."

After laying the groundwork, Qiu Tu then leaned in close to Tang Feifei and whispered, "Sister Tang, let me tell you, Jia Shu... he's actually mad!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon hearing this, Tang Feifei's expression changed slightly, as if she had guessed something, her eyes flickering twice.

Qiu Tu noticed this detail and continued, "He relies on his ability to cover the sky with one hand in the Political Department. In the Yin Caimei case, he actually operated against the rules."

"In theory, a key criminal like Yin Caimei shouldn't carry any personal items to avoid uncontrollable incidents."

"Yet, he specially allowed Yin Caimei to bring many personal garments, and even let her bring in a Cataclysmic treasure."

"And what's more crucial is that this Cataclysmic treasure was the murder weapon that killed Yin Caimei!"

At this point, Qiu Tu said mysteriously, "If he didn't know about this treasure, that's one thing."

"If he knew about the function of this treasure in advance, doesn't that make him an accomplice?"

When Tang Feifei heard Qiu Tu's words, her gaze began to flash crazily.

Qiu Tu's first few points didn't much concern her: after all, letting a criminal carry items, though a bit negligent, was not a major issue for an official like Jia Shu.

But... the speculations in the latter half stirred her interest.

How items illegally brought in could serve as murder weapons... there was much to be exploited there.

If Jia Shu truly was an accomplice in this major case, then just that alone would be enough for her to impeach him.

And if Jia Shu wasn't... huh? How could he not be? She declared him to be, so he was!

With this in mind, Tang Feifei suddenly saw the light and even figured out how to target Jia Shu.

However, precisely because of this, she looked at Qiu Tu with a hint of suspicion.

For some reason, she always felt... that the idea was "implanted" in her by Qiu Tu. Was he deliberately leading her to such thoughts?

But, seeing Qiu Tu's drunken state, Tang Feifei doubted that assumption.

'Am I overthinking it?' she wondered.

As she thought thus, Tang Feifei took another deep look at Qiu Tu.

But whether it was an illusion or not, after a few glances, she suddenly felt that Qiu Tu seemed... very handsome.

Moreover, the drunken Qiu Tu appeared especially "cute"... giving her a desire to get closer.

With this realization, Tang Feifei was stunned. Why would she... be interested in a man?!

Impossible!

With that thought, she couldn't help but look towards Liu Fuping standing beside her.

The beautiful young woman must have drunk some red wine and was slightly tipsy, her pale face blushing prettily, looking exceptionally beautiful and alluring under the dim lights.

Yet, for some reason... when compared to Qiu Tu, Tang Feifei suddenly felt a lack of interest,

She glanced at Qiu Tu, then at Liu Fuping, but eventually chose to keep her eyes on Qiu Tu and continued to listen to the scandals about Jia Shu.

Qiu Tu had indeed prepared long for this day.

Thus, after finishing speaking about Jia Shu's rule violations in the "Yin Caimei" case, he began to recount the various rumors about Jia Shu in the department.

Brutally killing suspects, secretly executing investigators, illegally arresting officials... he piled every true or false accusation before Tang Feifei.

After all, Qiu Tu's primary goal was just to drag Tang Feifei into the fray, to divert attention and share the fire.

So, all he needed was to imbue Tang Feifei with the image of Jia Shu as someone "riddled with scandal and filth," influencing Tang Feifei's judgment.

As to whether he could really take down Jia Shu, he didn't care.

Taking him down would be great, but if not, he would not be at a loss.

So, under the barrage of Qiu Tu's descriptions, under the dual debuffs of alcohol and the Mandragora Love Drug, Tang Feifei was indeed slowly "brainwashed" by Qiu Tu.

Although her aloof personality kept her from denouncing Jia Shu like Qiu Tu, her deep eyes indicated that the image of Jia Shu had taken form.

However, people who could become Bureau Chiefs certainly had skills. So even under the influence of alcohol and the Mandragora Love Drug, Tang Feifei managed to maintain some rationality.

After listening to Qiu Tu's explanations, she pondered for a moment and still said, "Qiu Tu, I would really like to help you."

"But... the Yin Caimei case is indeed very complex."

"In such an unclear situation, even I wouldn't dare to take action rashly."

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, hesitated, then finally touched the Lucky Joker Card in his pocket and said tentatively, "What if it's not just... you?"

As Qiu Tu uttered these words, he suddenly felt an overwhelming desire to confess: as if he was being guided to lay all his plans bare and come to an agreement with Tang Feifei.

Qiu Tu was taken aback,

'Is this Luck Guidance?'

'So... is this telling me the timing is right? To reveal the Security Department and ask for the list?'

With that thought, Qiu Tu once again took a step forward and probed, "Actually... the Security Department is very interested in this case as well..."
