"According to the intelligence brought back by the Dare-to-Die Team..."
Tao Yaoyao read the content of the message, and a trace of thoughtfulness flashed across her face.
After a moment, she said, "The intelligence submitted by the Dare-to-Die Team was reviewed together by the Three Giants. It was later passed on to other senior leaders and experts from each faction and each Sanctuary for review."
"None of you found any information relating to becoming the Domain Master. That suggests, with high probability, that there was no hidden information in that intelligence."
"So... Director Tang has likely received an additional piece of intelligence."
"And combining the time when Director Tang became the Domain Master, with the Dare-to-Die Team members' return..."
"That piece of intelligence, or that item, was very likely obtained by Director Qiu during his solo operation for three days, then upon his return, he handed it over to Director Tang alone."
Commissioner Jiang nodded slightly.
He looked out the window with an expression neither joyous nor sorrowful, then said with some emotion, "I had long heard that the relationship between Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei was somewhat unusual. Now it seems... it really is the case."
"That's the Domain Master we're talking about. Someone who can truly dominate a region, who can become a Fourth-order Cataclysmic, who can be a Deputy Director. But in the end... he gave it away so easily."
"They say that even heroes find it hard to pass the beauty test. The ancients truly didn't deceive me."
Having said this, he sighed, "If I had known Qiu Tu was such a man of sentiment, I should have..."
Perhaps realizing his words were inappropriate, Commissioner Jiang abruptly stopped speaking and said no more.
Tao Yaoyao's face turned red and then pale upon hearing Commissioner Jiang's words...
At that moment, Commissioner Jiang conveniently changed the subject. As if nothing was wrong, he said with a smile, "However... the promotion of Tang Feifei is also a good thing."
"Now, she's in charge of the Investigation Bureau, but let's not forget... Lin Chuan had previously forced Qiu Tu to go on a suicide mission. After pressuring Qiu Tu to his death and upon his survival, he wanted to turn around and deny any association."
"With Qiu Tu's personality, he is unlikely to let Lin Chuan go. There will soon be a good show to watch..."
What Tao Yaoyao could deduce with a little guidance, other smart people didn't even need to say.
Meanwhile, at the same time.
The military, Security Department.
Rain Butterfly stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in her office, looking at the immense Illusion of the Law with a bit of envy and jealousy...
And recalling the scene where Tang Feifei had driven her away in the "Boundless Heart Sea," her hands involuntarily clenched tightly...
Just as the entire upper echelons of Xinjie City were secretly stirring due to the unexpected event of Tang Feifei "becoming the Domain Master" and advancing to a Pseudo Fourth Order...
Investigation Bureau, 12th floor, senior meeting room.
Qiu Tu finally waited for the arrivals of Yu Zhengyi, Shi Youxin, Lin Ting, and Guan Weihua.
Seeing the four arriving hurriedly and looking travel-worn, Qiu Tu nodded slightly and then said with a smile, "I truly appreciate the effort from all of you."
"I am forced to convene this emergency meeting so late, and I hope everyone can understand."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the four exchanged glances and then all cooperatively said, "It's fine, we understand, we understand."
Yu Zhengyi even went out of his way to smooth things over, "It is right and proper to convene an emergency meeting when faced with such unexpected events."
Qiu Tu nodded slightly and then said, "Yu is right, so please, everyone, take your seats."
Having finished speaking, without any hesitation, Qiu Tu took the main seat which had belonged to Tang Feifei.
Seeing this, the four froze for a moment but then sat down in their respective places.
Qiu Tu observed the changes in their expressions but didn't mind.
When he was a minister, he had to be submissive, forming alliances and resorting to all sorts of maneuvers and schemes;
If he had to continue being submissive as the Acting Bureau Chief and still had to resort to schemes, then what would be the point of being the Acting Bureau Chief?
He had one purpose in becoming the Bureau Chief: to enjoy himself!
If anyone made Qiu Tu uncomfortable, he would let them see what it meant to be a civilized and virtuous country, to win people over with "virtue"!
Thinking this way, Qiu Tu glanced at the four present and then directly started the proceedings.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have all seen the message sent by Director Tang before she went into seclusion."
"But after all, it was not an official authorization document."
"I'll let everyone review the formal authorization document here first."
Saying this, Qiu Tu opened the folder in front of him, took out the authorization document, and passed it to Yu Zhengyi sitting beside him.
Yu Zhengyi read it with an expressionless face, then passed it to Shi Youxin next to him.
Shi Youxin took it, read through it carefully, then passed it to Lin Ting...
In this way, in just a short while, everyone finished reading and passed the document back to Qiu Tu's hands. As Qiu Tu put the documents away, he also said solemnly, "Now that everyone has seen the document, I hereby officially declare."
"From now on, I am in charge of the Investigation Bureau!"
Having finished, Qiu Tu did not wait for any reaction from the others and addressed Yu Zhengyi directly, "Director Yu, there's more hard work ahead for you. Director Tang becoming the Domain Master and ascending as a Fourth-order Cataclysmic needs to be reported to the state authorities."
"This is within your responsibility. After the meeting, you should personally call and report to the state."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yu Zhengyi hesitated but then nodded.
Qiu Tu turned to Shi Youxin and said, "Minister Shi, before Director Tang's promotion, she specifically instructed me to arrange the promotion matters for the Dare-to-Die Team members."
"Additionally, she listed the names of individuals eligible for simultaneous promotion."
"I hope that the Organizational Department will take care of this matter well by tomorrow."
