Such high-ranking individuals only needed to speak a few more words, receive a compliment, or even a nod to provide a tremendous boost to one's career.

And once one managed to get in good with them, soaring to heights of success was but a matter of today.

And now... Qiu Tu alone enjoyed all these benefits.

Furthermore… Tang Fei couldn't help wondering if Elder Tang did it on purpose, but his gesture of having Qiu Tu ride in his car had given Qiu Tu a massive increase in prestige.

Without any need for inquiry, they all knew that after today, Qiu Tu's prestige in the entire Investigation Bureau would reach its peak, and no one would dare to be his enemy...

Their eyes green with envy, they nevertheless had to anxiously pace around downstairs.

Just as the high-ranking officials grew impatient, they suddenly heard a report from the people below that another convoy had arrived at the Investigation Bureau.

"Another convoy has arrived at the Investigation Bureau?"

The officials found this a bit strange, but they quickly went down to greet them, only to discover upon the arrival of the passengers that it was Tang Feifei.

"No need for formalities, everyone. Elder Tang has sent for me; it's just a routine inquiry."

After briefly wrapping up her greeting, Tang Feifei followed Elder Tang's secretary upstairs to the 12th floor.

Elder Tang's normally stern-faced secretary, as well as his security team, all showed genuine smiles and enthusiastic greetings upon seeing Tang Feifei.

Watching this scene... they all experienced another wave of envy.

It had to be said... the greatest divide between people is the amniotic fluid they're born in.

They toiled so hard to get close to Elder Tang, but for Tang Feifei, he was just an "old man" she often saw.

Some are born mules; others are born amidst Rome…

Thus, the three Advisors continued their research, observing for more than a dozen hours.

It wasn't until the early hours of the next morning that they finally came to a conclusion: The "Yellow Charm" creatures were indeed uniquely mysterious.

Unless they were willing to let you touch or see them, you simply couldn't touch, see, smell, or even sense their presence.

If it weren't for the use of a special Cataclysmic Treasure that truly detected a feeble but peculiar soul fluctuation within the "Soul Shackles," the three Advisors might have doubted whether Qiu Tu had tricked them with an illusion...

Having confirmed that the "Yellow Charm" truly existed and was imprisoned within the altar of the "Soul Shackles," Elder Tang could consider one-third of his mission accomplished.

As for the second mission, it was mandated by the council to collect as much information as possible about the "Domain Master" from Tang Feifei.

This task didn't require Elder Tang himself to make the inquiry, so he simply summoned Tang Feifei and had a dedicated team discuss and gather intelligence from her.

"Huang Shangzong, ah. The results are out. If you have nothing else, you can go back to the state to work."

"I've heard about your plan. Specifically, I need to go back and discuss it with Elder Pang and others, and I'll give you a reply in a couple of days."

"Very well, Elder Tang." In front of Elder Tang, Huang Shangzong remained very polite and humble.

After bidding farewell to Elder Tang, he stood up and left the office, leaving the space to Elder Tang and Qiu Tu.

Seeing that the office was empty, Elder Tang stood and invited Qiu Tu, "Director Qiu, would you accompany me for a walk?"

Qiu Tu couldn't refuse, so he promptly got up to lead the way.

So it was that after walking two rounds with Elder Tang in the sky garden on the 12th floor, Elder Tang finally slowed his pace, then looking at the rising sun, he asked, "Qiu Tu... do you like Feifei?"

Hearing Elder Tang's words, Qiu Tu was momentarily lost for words.

Did he like Tang Feifei...?

To be honest, Qiu Tu really quite liked Tang Feifei. But... he liked himself even more.

And besides... to be frank, he didn't think that with Elder Tang's status, he would have dismissed Huang Shangzong specifically to ask about something as trivial as youthful romance...
