Chapter 853 - 436: Qiu Tu Advanced to Fourth Order Again? (10,000 Characters for Monthly Ticket!)_2

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu also came back to his senses, then seriously said to Qin Shuman, "Thanks, Shuman."

Qin Shuman, upon hearing this, smiled and nodded her head.

Then she added, "Also... there's one more thing, I need to explain something to you."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu gestured with his hand and asked, "What is it?"

Qin Shuman said, "That madman Lin Chuan, in retaliation for your 'Purge Program', has arrested all the spies from the Investigation Bureau in the military."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then replied, "I know. My subordinates have already reported to me."

Qin Shuman continued, "Then you might not know... that the list was provided by me, right?"

Qiu Tu was momentarily stunned.

Before he could respond, Qin Shuman added another remark, "Or... the list was provided by yourself."

"Provided by me?" This time, Qiu Tu was truly baffled.

He carefully recollected, and then suddenly remembered!

Six or seven months ago. At that time... he was just a mere section chief.

Jia Shu used a female spy to lure out all the scouts from various factions within the Investigation Bureau.

At that time, for the safety of the military scouts, Qin Shuman approached Qiu Tu, wanting a list of Investigation Bureau scouts within the military for a countermeasure.

Qiu Tu eventually 'sacrificed his charm' and obtained a list of a dozen people from Tang Feifei. (Chapter 102)

This was also the opportunity for Qiu Tu from the Security Department to connect with and benefit from Tang Feifei.

Unexpectedly, it was eventually utilized by Lin Chuan?

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu involuntarily looked towards Qin Shuman and asked, "Why is this list in Lin Chuan's hands?"

Qin Shuman sighed and said, "When I received this list, I reported it to Dai Yukang."

"Dai Yukang must have communicated with Ye Mingfeng and archived this list."

"Now that Lin Chuan is in charge of the entire military, he found the documents as soon as he searched."

Qiu Tu: ...

Qiu Tu rubbed his temples.

This is so untimely.

The shot fired by himself a few months ago ended up hitting himself...

Thinking so, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask, "Is their safety guaranteed?"

Qin Shuman replied, "It's not a big problem, Lin Chuan is ferocious but he wouldn't kill his colleagues without reason."

"And... I am also responsible for this. So I have also instructed my people to keep an eye on it."

"But I can't guarantee what Lin Chuan might do to them in terms of abuse or interrogation after I leave."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly.

'It seems, we really need to accelerate our plan.'

'Only by doing so, can we deter Lin Chuan, making him hesitate and possibly even release these spies.'

With that, Qiu Tu and Qin Shuman talked a bit more, exchanged information, and promised that even after going to the Sanctuary, they would not lose contact. Then, Qiu Tu stood up and escorted Qin Shuman out of the office.

As they reached the office door, Qiu Tu looked at the person in front of him and then said with a smile, "Have a smooth journey."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman stopped in her tracks, and with her pleasant eyes looked towards Qiu Tu and gently nodded.

She pushed open the office door and walked out. Qiu Tu watched her figure, watching as she walked away step by step.

Just as Qin Shuman was about to leave Qiu Tu's sight, she suddenly turned around and generously waved her hand at Qiu Tu.

The next second, Qiu Tu's communicator rang.

Qiu Tu picked it up and saw it was from Qin Shuman.

"Congratulations on becoming the Bureau Chief, I won't fall behind either."

Seeing Qin Shuman's message, Qiu Tu, with his hands in his pockets, leaned against the doorway and replied with a smile,

"Whether you fall behind or not is another matter. You promised that once I become the Bureau Chief, you would agree to my proposal, how about that?"

"Buzz buzz."

After a moment, Qin Shuman's reply came.

"Next time we meet. But you have to remember it yourself..."

With a smile, Qiu Tu then took another look outside the office door.

Outside, Qin Shuman was no longer in sight...

In these tumultuous times, no one knows when they might suddenly part.

After all, everyone is striving for their own future.

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu also put away his sentimentality, then closed the office door, turned around, and returned to the lounge, prepared to start pushing forward his own 'Deputy Speaker Plan'...

Turning the world around, coming to Xinjie District. Qiu Tu used 'Instantaneous Movement' and arrived next to the 'Regional Passage.'

At this time, the 'Team Captain' had already been waiting there.

Seeing Qiu Tu, the 'Team Captain' knelt on one knee, "My Lord."

Qiu Tu waved his hand, "Dispense with the formalities."

After that, Qiu Tu asked, "Is everyone ready?"

Having died once already, the journey from 'Destruction' turned into 'Immortality'. Some of his Spiritual Wisdom and memory were lost, but facing the upcoming events, excitement was unmistakably written on the 'Team Captain's' face.

He quickly nodded, "Ready."

Qiu Tu hummed in response, then led the 'Team Captain' through the passage, flying him to the first Leyline Node in the Dock Sea Area - a grassland right at the center of the island.

"Begin refining."

"Yes." The 'Team Captain' responded and quickly sat cross-legged on the grassland, then started refining the Leyline Node.

Watching the 'Team Captain' refine the Leyline Node, Qiu Tu called out a squad of Dark Soldiers to stand guard.

Meanwhile, he himself unfolded his spiritual power and continued searching for the remaining dozen or so Leyline Nodes...

...

In a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Xinjie City, the military.

Lin Chuan, dressed in dark green military attire, leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs, looked at his adjutant before him, and inquired, "What has Qiu Tu been up to these past two days?"
