Then let them offer their loyalty!

However, although Qiu Tu's actions were significant, they paled in comparison to Tang Feifei's bold and decisive actions.

While Qiu Tu was planting his cronies there, Tang Feifei was also frantically promoting her own cronies.

This allowed her power to expand even faster.

Moreover, following Qiu Tu's advice, after placing her confidants in the Special Operations Department, she immediately moved all the teams controlled by her confidants to the Training Department under the pretext of training.

Because of the overly aggressive actions, the Special Operations Department almost ran out of usable squads. This infuriated Lin Ting so much that he nearly went to fight Tang Feifei.

However... regardless of Tang Feifei's strength, background, or the trump card of "Wu Zhi's death," Lin Ting was somewhat at a loss.

So, after a disgruntled afternoon, he still hadn't done anything and ended up having his driver take him to Emerald City to relax and unwind...

Soon, the day was over.

That evening, Qiu Tu didn't go back to Fang Tangtang's house, but instead went back to his own home...

After the joint assassination attempt a few days ago, Qiu Tu has not returned home, leaving only a female detective in the villa to keep Shen Lingshuang company.

Qiu Tu has finished his work and should go back to visit.

Qiu Tu returned to his villa, where he was greeted by Xiao Bai's head, which had grown to the size of a wardrobe.

After finally getting rid of Xiaobai, Shen Lingshuang pouted and came closer with a disgruntled look on her face.

Clearly, he was a little unhappy that Qiu Tu hadn't been home for several days.

Qiu Tu has no other redeeming qualities except for his thick skin. So after chuckling and apologizing, he let it go.

Shen Lingshuang was actually still a little unhappy at the time and didn't want to forgive Qiu Tu. But... Qiu Tu knew her masochistic nature all too well.

So she grabbed him and placed him on her lap, then after a flurry of Iron Sand Palm strikes, Shen Lingshuang, blushing and with a hint of longing in her eyes, let Qiu Tu go...

Silent all night.

The next day, the day Moonlight Lake descended, the day Yan Chen was no longer in doubt about becoming the vice-chairman.

Qiu Tu got up early.

After washing up, eating, and chatting with Shen Lingshuang for a while, Qiu Tu called his driver and drove to the Investigation Department.

On the way to the investigation department, Qiu Tu rolled down the car window and looked intently at the giant tree shadow stretching across the sky.

The scattered green starlight adorned the area, forming a colossal tree that was both magnificent and beautiful.

'A fourth-tier Cataclysm... I wonder when I'll reach that level.'

'And... with Moonlight Lake taking shape, won't the New Territories be about to be engulfed in another massive storm?'

Meanwhile, as Qiu Tu was thinking this...

Dongcheng City, a secret base.

Liu Xiongyuan, dressed in the uniform of a director, walked back and forth in front of several people wearing white coats.

Judging from their white lab coats, they looked somewhat like chemists from before a cataclysmic era.

However, judging from the various equipment and tools they were handling, they seemed somewhat like Shen Lingshuang, the pharmacist.

They were currently gathered around a medium-sized piece of equipment, engaged in a heated discussion.

"To fully form Moonlight Lake, we must use the 'Storm Head' to gather the power of the laws brought by Yan Chen at Moonlight Lake!"

"As for other methods, I feel they all fall short."

"I think we could use a potion. Pour a 'Spirit Gathering' potion into the core of Moonlight Lake. Naturally, all the laws and catastrophic forces will be attracted to the area around Moonlight Lake."

"At that time, Moonlight Lake will be able to take shape sooner after absorbing such a huge amount of power."

"I don't think it will work..."

They discussed this for several hours, each expressing their own opinions.

Finally, just when Liu Xiongyuan's patience was about to run out, a detailed execution plan was handed to him.

With this implementation plan in hand, Liu Xiongyuan finally felt relieved.

After carefully reviewing the entire plan and confirming that it was all within his capabilities, he thanked the doctors in white coats and then hurriedly left the secret base to begin catalyzing the condensation of Moonlight Lake!

.......

Meanwhile, as Liu Xiongyuan began his actions, catalyzing Moonlight Lake...

Qiu Tu also arrived at the Investigation Bureau.

Qiu Tu now is completely different from when he first came to the Investigation Bureau.

His crisp black detective uniform already bore the insignia of one bar and three flowers; along the way, section chiefs and detectives from various departments all stopped and saluted him.

Wherever he went, Qiu Tu began to enjoy the attention or give way, just like a high-ranking official of the Investigation Bureau.

Tan Huimin was noticeably more dedicated today. She waited in the parking lot early, and as soon as Qiu Tu's car stopped, she immediately came over to open the door for him.

After picking up Qiu Tu, she took the initiative to elegantly lead the way, and while leading the way, she also told Qiu Tu about today's itinerary and arrangements.

This perfectly demonstrates the level of an excellent secretary.

However, perhaps because her outfit today was too flamboyant, she not only dressed up but also wore light makeup and bright red lipstick.

Therefore, every time Qiu Tu's gaze fell upon her sexy lips, he couldn't help but recall the scene of her swallowing his food yesterday.

'I guess I'm still being influenced by this woman...'

While lamenting that beauty is like a knife that cuts to the bone, Qiu Tu and Tan Huimin took the elevator upstairs.

Given Qiu Tu's current status, aside from those of the same rank, no one would willingly share an elevator with him. Therefore, the spacious elevator contained only Qiu Tu and Tan Huimin.

Perhaps noticing Qiu Tu's strange gaze, Tan Huimin took the initiative to ask, "Sir, why are you always looking at my mouth?"

At this point, she gently pressed her index finger against her delicate lips and asked, "Did I accidentally apply my lipstick crookedly?"

Qiu Tu: .....

Qiu Tu was 99% certain that the woman was seducing him.

Well, the remaining 1% probability is that he thinks this woman wants to have sex with him in the elevator!

Yesterday, although Tan Huimin acted convincingly, she was clearly sober. Since she was sober, she must have known what happened between the two of them yesterday.

Now that she's pulled this stunt, it would be strange if she wasn't trying to seduce him.

Just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Tan Huimin spoke up.

She said softly, "When I was taking a nap yesterday at noon, I felt like I had a very long dream. I dreamt that Ah Tao left the New Territories."

"That was the most comfortable sleep I've had in days."

"I wonder when all of this will come true."

"Then I guess I'll sleep more comfortably."

Qiu Tu: .....

Although Tan Huimin spoke cryptically, she was actually reminding Qiu Tu to keep his "promise".

And they're still making empty promises to Qiu Tu—that "comfortable" probably doesn't mean she slept comfortably. It might mean she was comfortable sleeping in the same place?

However, for some reason, Qiu Tu, who had been itching to act, suddenly calmed down in that instant.

Although Tan Huimin is indeed very tempting, Qiu Tu still has his own principles regarding certain matters.

Oh, it's not that those who ally with evil gods must die, but... if someone is an enemy, they must be killed if possible! No future trouble!

Even if Zheng Tao may not have intentionally wanted to oppose me, even if he may have had many unavoidable reasons.

But Qiu Tu never hesitates to think about a person from the most malicious angle.

Zheng Tao has already offended me. Even if I sincerely intend to let him go, will he really believe me?

Moreover, he even put his ex-wife in his mouth. Although he didn't finish her, he had already tasted her. Does Zheng Tao really not care?

Anyway, if you put yourself in Qiu Tu's shoes, you definitely wouldn't let go of this hatred so easily.

He will definitely suppress this grudge first, accumulate strength, and then kill his enemy as soon as possible.

So, although Tan Huimin's plan was good, what she didn't know was that from the moment she tasted Qiu Tu yesterday, Zheng Tao was truly doomed...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu made no expression on his face.

He added jokingly, "Director Zheng will definitely be safe and sound. It's just that Secretary Tan might need to dream about it a few more times."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's direct flirting, Tan Huimin's expression stiffened slightly, and her hands clenched involuntarily, but she quickly regained her composure.

She wanted to test the waters. But just then...

With a "ding," we arrived at the ninth floor.

Qiu Tu stepped out of the elevator, and Tan Huimin could only follow him.

Upon arriving at the office, Qiu Tu quickly immersed himself in a busy day.

As the deputy minister of the political department, especially a deputy minister with a wide range of authority, Qiu Tu has a lot of work to do, but it is also very valuable.

Especially now that he has officially taken over the intelligence department, the intelligence section has begun to send up daily summaries of important intelligence, allowing Qiu Tu to have a comprehensive understanding of what is happening in the New Territories every day.

Like yesterday, perhaps because Yan Chen's illusory law had changed, the military sent another regiment to be stationed around the garden villa.

The security department has been very active lately, constantly planting spies within the alliance.

Yesterday, the city hall successfully reached a cooperation agreement with a wealthy businessman in the eastern part of the city, entrusting him with the overall redevelopment of the abandoned urban area.

The overall conditions weren't particularly favorable, and that wealthy businessman probably wouldn't make much money if he just operated normally.

However, in addition to this cooperation, Committee Member Jiang of the City Hall also instructed that a piece of land near Dongmen in the New Territories be granted to that wealthy businessman.

In addition to intelligence from the New Territories, information about Moonlight Lake, which Qiu Tu had been specifically keeping an eye on, was also transmitted over.

According to intelligence reports.

The place where Moonlight Lake was supposed to be created is actually a depression located between the New Territories and the Eastern City.

It was originally a small, catastrophic forest.

However, a few years ago, influenced by the battle between two evil gods in the boundless sea of ​​the heart, the ground in the middle of the forest collapsed, the trees fell, and a depression with an area of ​​1.52 square kilometers was formed.

Initially, no one paid attention to this low-lying area. After all, we live in a time of cataclysm, where all sorts of catastrophic phenomena are possible, and the three major authorities are used to it.

However, things gradually changed later.

Just over a year ago, thick fog would suddenly blanket that forest every night.

The fog couldn't be dispersed by the wind or dissolved by the rain. But it would always dissipate when the sky cleared.

After learning about this phenomenon from passersby, the Political Department and the Security Department began regular observations and investigations.

Gradually, they discovered that the Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart, corresponding to this area, was also undergoing strange changes—a small tornado was continuously swirling up in this area of ​​the Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart.

After the report was submitted to the shelter, the shelter sent experts to conduct research and analysis. They ultimately concluded that a Moonlight Lake was about to be created there.

According to experts, the clash between the two evil gods in previous years may have disrupted the catastrophic power of this region.

The evil god was injured, and the large amount of "divine blood" it shed coincidentally "activated" the catastrophic power in these areas.

Thus, with a large amount of "divine blood" at its core and the "activated" cataclysmic power as its driving force, a cataclysmic storm began to form here.

The catastrophic storm will engulf the surrounding catastrophic forces, causing the catastrophic forces in this area to become increasingly concentrated.

And eventually, together with the "divine blood," it underwent a qualitative change, ultimately giving birth to the cataclysmic material—Moonlight Tears.

The expert who came to investigate that time was obviously very experienced. After conducting an on-site inspection of the battlefield where the evil god of the boundless sea of ​​the heart fought in that depression, he also gave his estimate of the output of this Moonlight Lake: 1.3 tons of Moonlight Tears.

It can produce 65000 bottles of Cataclysmic Potion.

This astonishing treasure trove shocked the military and investigation departments in the New Territories and East City.

Therefore, the four departments have been engaged in a power struggle over Moonlight Lake for the past six months, and have finally reached a delicate balance.

The Detective Agency of Tung Shing City and the military headquarters of the New Territories City each hold roughly 3% of Moonlight Lake's share; while the Detective Agency of the New Territories City and the military headquarters of Tung Shing City each hold 2%.

Because of the need for continuous confrontation, Yan Chen sent almost all of the elite agents trained by the Special Operations Department over the past year to the area.
