Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 340 - 263: Madam, Aren’t You Going to Pay a Price? (10,000 words for Monthly Ticket!)_2
Having said that, she cheerily said to Qiu Tu, "Does the minister want to see the Bureau Chief now? I’ll go and let her know."
On hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Please do, Xiaowan. That would be troublesome."
Su Xiaowan cutely nodded her head and then hurriedly "pitter-pattered" into the office.
At this time, after seeing Su Xiaowan leave, Qiu Tu walked over to Tan Huimin.
He naturally placed his hand on Tan Huimin’s waist, then looking towards Director Tang’s office door, he started speaking indifferently, "I was wondering why you weren’t in the office all morning."
"So you were here to see Director Tang...."
Feeling the warmth of Qiu Tu’s hand, Tan Huimin’s body trembled.
She intended to pull away Qiu Tu’s hand, but remembering what he had said just a moment ago, she didn’t dare to move.
She lowered her head to her ample chest and whispered pleadingly, "Minister... please, save Ah-Tao."
Once she finished, she looked up, her eyes slightly reddened, and said, "I really can’t live without him."
Upon hearing Tan Huimin’s words, Qiu Tu looked down at her and teased, "Aren’t you going to offer something this time?"
"Just an empty plea?"
The words from Qiu Tu made Tan Huimin’s body uncontrollably shiver.
Qiu Tu looked up at the tightly shut office door and then blandly said, "In my homeland, when making a plea, you need to show your...."
"Stop, don’t say anymore!" Perhaps the subject was too shameful, as Tan Huimin reached out and grabbed Qiu Tu’s hand.
Qiu Tu looked down at Tan Huimin, and she also looked up at him with teary eyes.
Gently touching her pretty oval face, Qiu Tu leaned in and whispered in her ear, "My lady, you...."
Qiu Tu deliberately stretched the sound, causing Tan Huimin, who only heard the first three words, to involuntarily recall what Qiu Tu had said yesterday, "My lady, your body is still very honest...."

It also made her involuntarily remember Qiu Tu’s teasing from yesterday.
While she clenched her legs together as she was flooded with these memories, Qiu Tu softly finished his sentence, "My lady, you’re... so beautiful."
Qiu Tu’s sudden earnestness overwhelmed Tan Huimin.
And at this moment, the office door was opened from the inside.
Su Xiaowan stepped out and said to Qiu Tu, "Minister, the Bureau Chief is waiting for you inside."
After that, she looked at the two of them with a somewhat puzzled gaze at their bizarre and somewhat intimate posture, blinking her eyes.
Seeing Su Xiaowan’s expression, Tan Huimin quickly let go of the arm she was holding in panic.
Qiu Tu smiled in response and then nodded to Su Xiaowan, "Alright, I’ll go in now to see her."
Having said that, Qiu Tu also told Tan Huimin, "Come with me."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Tan Huimin was clearly surprised.
She knew that her relationship with Qiu Tu was far from that of a confidant. Qiu Tu never involved her in serious discussions.
So why had he suddenly decided to include her today?
Was there some sort of scheme?
Thinking of Qiu Tu’s manipulative tactics, Tan Huimin felt both fear and trepidation.
But whether for work or for personal reasons, whenever Qiu Tu asked, she had no means to refuse, so she could only bite her lip and follow Qiu Tu into the office with her long legs.
Staying behind, Su Xiaowan curiously watched Qiu Tu’s retreating figure, then looked bewilderedly at Tan Huimin’s back.

’After all... Is the world of influential people this complicated? What exactly is their relationship?’
...
Ever since forcefully taking charge of the Investigation Bureau yesterday, Director Tang had obviously become much busier.
The upper echelons of the Investigation Bureau didn’t want to get involved in the conflict between Director Tang and Yan Chen, nor did they want to offend Huang Shangzong, so they all kept a watch from the sidelines.
Moreover, with Secretary Bai being captured, this resulted in many of the basic affairs of the Investigation Bureau piling up on Director Tang.
So, when he arrived at Director Tang’s office, she was incessantly flipping through and annotating documents.
Knowing that Qiu Tu would come, Director Tang, without raising her head when she heard his footsteps, said, "Take a seat first, I’ll finish this document and then we can talk."
Given the close relationship between the two, Qiu Tu naturally didn’t act like a stranger. On hearing her words, he then seated himself on the chair across from Director Tang’s desk.
Meanwhile, Tan Huimin obediently stood behind Qiu Tu, her hands crossed over her abdomen, silent.
Waiting thus for a minute for Director Tang, she then set aside the document and raised her head to look at Qiu Tu.
Director Tang was already attractive, and her wheat-colored skin and spirited eyes and brows added to her remarkable aura.
Now, with the power of the Investigation Bureau in her hands and each word and deed determining the fate of tens or hundreds of thousands of people of Xinjie, her presence had become even more formidable.
Her eyes, like those of a lioness, were domineering and compelling, making it difficult for others to meet her gaze directly.
Her gaze first fell on Tan Huimin.
With just one look, Tan Huimin felt as if she had been targeted by a wild beast; her body swayed unconsciously and she began to sweat.
Director Tang glanced at her indifferently, then turned to Qiu Tu, speaking with the authority of a superior, "Well? Have you got any results?"
Seeing Director Tang’s assertive demeanor, Qiu Tu couldn’t help but remember how they had intensely deliberated on plans the day before, with her going at full throttle.
Honestly, the only thought Qiu Tu had at that moment was: Second Order Cataclysmics just aren’t enough. I need to raise my own strength!
After a momentary drift in thought, Qiu Tu returned to the present.
When the conversation turned to serious matters, both became more solemn.
