Chapter 907 - 454 Yanyan: Ai Li, You're Sneaking a Snack! (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket)_2

At this moment, Qiu Tu's face was the picture of innocence, "It seems I indeed ate your descendants."

Ai Li:.....

Ai Li was going insane, tugging at her pigtails, and wailing, "What on Earth is all this?!!"

Qiu Tu gently patted her back, then comforted her, "It's okay, you are now sisters who have shared a meal together."

Ai Li:??

"You think I'll be happy if you say that?" Ai Li became even more frantic.

Qiu Tu struggled to hold back his laughter.

Whether Ai Li was happy or not, Qiu Tu didn't know.

But what Qiu Tu did know was... Yanyan would definitely be thrilled.

That girl was clearly playing around on purpose, teasing Ai Li while also tempting Qiu Tu.

She truly was a bad girl with an inner self that greatly contrasted her appearance.

.....

By evening, Qiu Tu returned to Eastern City with "Red Hair" and her confidants.

In this period, Qiu Tu could be said to be the core of Dongye State. His every move was watched by countless people.

Even Huang Shangzong, Ye Mingfeng, and Dai Yukang were consistently monitoring Qiu Tu's movements.

Thus, when he returned to the State Government, Huang Shangzong received the news almost immediately.

At that moment, a smile finally blossomed on his broad face that had been anxious for the entire day.

After returning to the State Government, Qiu Tu did not report to Huang Shangzong right away but went to find Liu Xiongyuan first.

The capture of the remnants of the Anti-government Coalition was carried out in batches.

The forty-plus squads that Qiu Tu arrested were actually middle and high levels of the coalition.

With a total number of 11,000 participants in the insurrection, even after being annihilated and scattered, there were still several thousand people dispersed across the cities in the state.

So as these middle layers were captured, Liu Xiongyuan conducted interrogations while using the information provided by them to start capturing the remaining forces.

According to Liu Xiongyuan himself, over 4,000 people had been captured in these past few days.

Out of these 4,000 people, aside from those who were executed on the spot for heinous crimes or for resisting to the end, the rest were distributed across various cities for imprisonment and prepared for labor reformation.

As for the remaining one to two thousand people, they couldn't even make contact with the forty-plus squads, so they could only be captured slowly.

But... no matter what, once the middle layer was wiped out, the remainder were just scattered soldiers, unlikely to pose any more danger. Moreover, under the strict crackdown in Dongye State, it was also difficult for them to reconnect with the anti-government organizations in the Disaster Zone.

The threat was now considerably reduced.

Thus, this operation was more or less successfully concluded, and so Qiu Tu should meet with Liu Xiongyuan to agree on the details for the report.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu had Tao Yaoyao, who had resumed her duties, call the secretary of Liu Xiongyuan, while he himself caressed Shen Lingshuang's slender legs standing by his side, waiting for Liu Xiongyuan's response.

Soon, Tao Yaoyao turned back from the front passenger seat and meticulously reported,

"Chairman, Chairman Liu says he has time and for you to go directly to him."

"He's currently in the interrogation room at the Eastern City Investigation Bureau, supervising the interrogation of 'Scarface'."

Hearing Tao Yaoyao's words, Qiu Tu lightly patted Shen Lingshuang's thigh twice, then said, "In that case, let's change course to the Eastern City Investigation Bureau!"

The Eastern City Investigation Bureau was not far from the Parliament Building, so it didn't take long for Qiu Tu to arrive.

Welcomed by Director Ning, Qiu Tu, along with Tao Yaoyao and Shen Lingshuang, went to the 7th floor's custody and interrogation area.

Arriving at 'Scarface's' interrogation room, Director Ning gently knocked on the door, then opened the door of the interrogation room.

The little old man Liu Xiongyuan was indeed sitting there, arms crossed, watching 'Scarface's' interrogation through the one-way glass.

The old man had clearly been working from dawn to dusk these past few days, a high-intensity workload, and thus looked a bit unkempt.

And possibly due to tremendous pressure, or perhaps because the interrogation revealed some unfavorable information, his complexion was not good.

His mouth was tightly closed, the corners drooping downward, forming a cold arc. His pupils were as black as ink, like two bottomless ancient wells, shimmering with a stern and sharp light.

However, what attracted Qiu Tu's attention more than Liu Xiongyuan was... 'Scarface', separated only by the glass.

Qiu Tu had seen 'Scarface' before his promotion to 'True Fourth Rank' without noticing anything amiss. Now, after his promotion, Qiu Tu felt there was something slightly off about 'Scarface'.

The feeling was hard to describe, just an aura that didn't seem to fit in with the 'Cataclysm Path' he was on.

Thinking thusly, Qiu Tu tried to borrow the power of the 'Order Path'!

The next second, Qiu Tu felt a profound force penetrate the World Barrier, entering his body from beyond the Nine Heavens.

The next moment, Qiu Tu's eyes turned a deep blue, and numerous 'Order Lines' and 'Camp Clouds' began to appear before him.

Qiu Tu scanned all the people present.

Since Eastern City was a place Liu Xiongyuan had deeply cultivated for years, all the 'Camp Clouds' of the people present, from the agents to Director Ning, were pointing straight at Liu Xiongyuan.

And most of Liu Xiongyuan's Camp Cloud stretched into the void, likely connecting to Elder Wang, with a smaller part pointing at Qiu Tu.

Clearly, he was sincerely in alignment with Qiu Tu and truly invested in their cooperation.

Beyond the 'Camp Clouds', what caught Qiu Tu's attention were the 'Order Lines.'

The 'Order Lines' of the Eastern City Investigation Bureau were nearly flat, indicating that everything was in perfect order.
