Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 513 - 323

Qiu Tu’s idea was simple, yet audacious.

"Yan Chen is planning to claim the Scarlet Widow was an assassin sent by the United Front, right?"

Then he would go along with him, accept this "setting," and then "magnify" it.

The United Front wanting to bring chaos to Xinjie City by sending an assassin to kill Qiu Tu, the Head of the Political Department, indeed sounded plausible.

But then again, if the United Front could be so heartless as to attempt an assassination within the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau...

Well, after their attempt on Qiu Tu failed, and Yan Chen’s forces destroyed their hideout, wouldn’t it be reasonable for them in desperation to send an elite Special Warfare Squad the very next day to assassinate Yan Chen?

Yan Chen had stated in front of everyone the previous day that the assassin was sent by the United Front.

So the next day, if he was attacked by the United Front and the captured assassins were all its members, who else had any right to question it?

After all, the victim himself confirmed that these assassins were from the United Front.

Moreover, it was exactly Yan Chen’s framing that made the entire incident form a perfect closed loop.

—To prove that the Lianzhen Special Combat Team was under Qiu Tu’s command, one had to prove that the two assassination attempts weren’t orchestrated by the same organization or person, which requires proving first that the Scarlet Widow wasn’t sent by the United Front.

To prove that the Scarlet Widow wasn’t sent by the United Front, one had to find out first that the Scarlet Widow was sent by Yan Chen and Lai Shun.

And once it was found out that the Scarlet Widow was sent by Yan Chen and Lai Shun...

Then why the hell bother investigating further? If Yan Chen made the first move, couldn’t Qiu Tu fight back?

In fact, for the big shots in the region and the Sanctuaries, perhaps they could have guessed much of the situation just by glancing at it.

But since Qiu Tu had made a solid front in public while privately it was a "counterattack," they were most likely to turn a blind eye.

This was why Qiu Tu was so aggressive today, but after forcing Yan Chen to acknowledge that the Scarlet Widow was a United Front member and after obtaining compensation, he immediately backed off.

With Yan Chen’s personal confirmation and tonight’s action, that was enough.

Their grudge would be settled tomorrow!

Thinking this way... Qiu Tu didn’t heal his own wounds with his ability just because he had achieved his goal.

He first looked towards Tan Huimin, who stood by his side looking at him worriedly, then he said, "Huimin, go to the Political Department now and tell Chen Feng about what just happened. Then tell him that I want him to lead the team tonight."

"Afterwards, let him pick a few stable, capable first or second-class investigators to participate in tonight’s opportunity, for a bit of glory."

"Yan Chen has been able to keep that United Front base under wraps for so long, it definitely isn’t a simple little base, and the credit would certainly not be small."

"Once they’ve had their moment of glory, it will be good to promote them when they come back."

As he said this, Qiu Tu seemed to think of something, looked at Tan Huimin again, and added, "Tonight, you don’t need to follow me, you should go too. Join the operation as my special envoy. When you’re back, I’ll promote you."

Since breaking free from Zheng Tao’s shadow, Tan Huimin had gained a certain understanding of the various situations within the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau.

Possibly due to her status, what she heard most was Qiu Tu’s generosity and protectiveness towards his subordinates.

She frequently encountered his protectiveness, and now... she had also witnessed his generosity.

Though she had no great aspirations for a position, no one disliked progress. On hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Tan Huimin agreed cheerfully and hurried downstairs to find Chen Feng.

Tang Feifei had been watching Qiu Tu and Tan Huimin’s interaction the entire time.

Her intuition as a woman made her keenly aware of the ambiguous relationship between them.

And knowing Tan Huimin’s status, she gave Qiu Tu a cold look and reminded him, "She has a husband."

At this moment, Qiu Tu, who had just finished with the urgent matters at hand, had his attention returned to the bone-deep injury on his body.

He didn’t notice Tang Feifei’s emotions, so he casually said, "Her husband is already dead."

Tang Feifei:.....

"So, the two of you played such a big game just to be together?"

Qiu Tu:? ?

What’s all this about!

"Pfft~" Su Xiaowan, who had been spectating the whole time, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Clearly, she also realized that Tang Feifei was intentionally causing trouble!

Qiu Tu glared at Su Xiaowan, the silly girl, and then raised his head to look at Tang Feifei again.

At that moment, Tang Feifei was taking a Cataclysmic Potion for treating wounds out of one of her cards, her cold profile betraying no emotion.

After a while, she took out two bottles, one red and one blue, then looked at Qiu Tu and said, "Both of these bottles contain ’Water of Life.’ Choose one."

Qiu Tu curiously asked, "So, is there any difference between the two?"

Tang Feifei glanced coolly at Qiu Tu and said, "No difference, only that the red one has extra ingredients that will make it hurt more."

On hearing this, Qiu Tu pointed at the blue bottle and said, "Then I want that one."

On hearing this, Tang Feifei uncapped the blue bottle, unwound the bandages on Qiu Tu’s body, and began to apply the Potion to the wound.

You have to say, Tang Feifei’s Potion was indeed good, cool and refreshing upon application, and the wound was visibly healing at an incredible rate, without any pain at all.

Amazed by the miracle of the Potion, Qiu Tu couldn’t help but ask curiously, "By the way, if it’s a healing Potion, why would you deliberately add something to the red bottle to cause pain? Is it specifically for prisoners?"

Tang Feifei replied indifferently, "Not really... because the ordinary ’Water of Life’ makes one pass out when applied."

Qiu Tu:? ?

As Tang Feifei’s words were halfway through, Qiu Tu already felt his head getting dizzy. By the time she finished her sentence, he had collapsed into Tang Feifei’s soft embrace…
