Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 648 - 368: Please Conduct Yourself Properly, Section Chief Guan (10,000-word plea for Monthly Tickets!)

Humans are a very strange species.

If you tell them a high-level secret directly, the most they will do is marvel at it, and after their surprise, they might quickly forget about it.

But... if you tell them a false secret and then reveal some clues that aren’t quite right.

Then... their curiosity will be ignited. They will start to find ways to dig out the truth.

Moreover, the truth they uncover will be considered "precious" and therefore will be particularly easy to spread privately.

So, if you want everyone to know something, just clumsily ban or conceal it!

More and more people will dig into it, learn about it, and secretly spread it...

And so it was with the fight between Qiu Tu and Lin Ting.

Upon discovering that the rumors had issues, many middle-layer managers and section chiefs quietly inquired about the true nature of the matter.

As a result, they found that a gag order had been placed on yesterday’s incident. Nobody involved was allowed to disclose any details.

But that couldn’t stump these crafty veterans. Under all kinds of sweet-talking and persistent questioning, the inside story was still prised out bit by bit...

’Director Tang is away, and Director Qiu is managing the Investigation Bureau in her stead?’

’Minister Lin Ting was dissatisfied with Deputy Director Qiu, so he provoked Director Qiu?’

’As a result... Director Qiu pinned him to the ground and roughed him up? Lin Ting was powerless to fight back?’

Since most of the managers and section chiefs were Cataclysmics, or had the authority to know about Cataclysmics,

they quickly learned about the power comparison between the two sides.

’Minister Lin Ting is a Second-order Peak? But Director Qiu Tu is... a Third Order Cataclysmic?!’

’With the same strength as Director Yan, Director Tang?’

This truth, combined with the earlier turn of events, truly blew the minds of all the middle-layers who dug into the matter.

Like Yu Zhengyi and a few other high-rankers, they watched Qiu Tu’s swift rise, so they had an idea of his capabilities.

Half a year ago, Qiu Tu was absolutely just an ordinary person. And now he’s already reached Third Order?!

Damn, that’s cheating, isn’t it?!

And to think, all these years they’ve only been First-Order or Second Order Cataclysmics, they feel like they’ve lived their lives in vain!

What kind of monster is Qiu Tu to have become a Third Order Cataclysmic in such a short time!

However, thinking about how Qiu Tu rose so quickly in just seven or eight months, soaring to heights unreachable for most commoners,

it seemed quite reasonable for him to have such talent and ability.

After all, if Qiu Tu didn’t have this talent and strength, it seemed impossible for him to soar so high.

When they accepted the legend of Qiu Tu in their hearts, the incident of Lin Ting’s failed show-off and subsequent ’takedown’ seemed incredibly plausible.

After all, no one expected Qiu Tu to have such strength. So when Lin Ting tried to use his position to pressure others and was instead taken down by Qiu Tu, it was understandable.

Of course, some people doubted this so-called truth, feeling that if that were the case, Qiu Tu had no need to help Lin Ting block the news.

But when they inquired with several involved parties who all had the same conclusion, and even when some produced medical records from the incident, they finally believed it.

So... very soon, the truth about the entire meeting spread quietly throughout the Investigation Bureau under this "ban."

With the help of an unnamed instigator, it took less than half a day for the truth about yesterday’s high-level meeting to circulate through the entire Investigation Bureau.

Because of Qiu Tu’s "ban," everyone was afraid to discuss it openly, but... privately, it was a hot topic of conversation.

And because the whole affair had a slight oddity to it, two interesting new conjectures were born during its dissemination.

The first is that the reason Qiu Tu issued the gag order was actually for unity.

After all, Tang Feifei had just left, and the Investigation Bureau was now under Qiu Tu’s control.

News of higher-ups’ dissatisfaction with him on the day he took over could affect his image.

Moreover, he would need the cooperation of several high-rankers in the coming period, so he didn’t want the situation to get too ugly.

This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.

And the second conjecture was even more interesting.

Combining today’s counterintuitive method of spreading news at the start, some speculated that the message "Lin Ting assaults Qiu Tu" was stealthily released by Lin Ting’s people last night.

The goal was to save some face and to strike at Qiu Tu’s credibility.

However, they did not anticipate the medical department would run out of fast-acting medicine, and Lin Ting’s injuries failed to heal, which led to the discovery of flaws...

"Bullshit! All bullshit!"

These two guesses, of course, inevitably reached the ears of the still seriously injured Lin Ting.

As early as this morning, he had heard certain rumors, and then a bad premonition arose in his heart.

The situation, as he feared, took a turn and was irreversibly altered.

Now there were comments that praised Qiu Tu while belittling him, further inflaming his anger!

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Smashing the phone and water cup from the desk to the floor, Lin Ting was ready to breathe fire.

He glared at his secretary, then roared, "It must be Qiu Tu!"

"He has always loved to play these scheming games!"

"He must be deliberately guiding the situation!"

"He is trying to morally assassinate me! To socially ’kill’ me!"

"It’s infuriating!"

With that, Lin Ting turned red-faced, and then a mouthful of fresh blood spewed forth!
