This is a Cataclysm material reward that Qiu Tu obtained from the countdown chest of [Zhao Ji's Wrath].

This Cataclysmic Material can be used to create Cataclysmic Treasures, and it also has corresponding effects when used alone, making it incredibly powerful.

It was precisely because he obtained this catastrophic material that Qiu Tu dared to ask Bai Ru to make this call for him.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu reached out his hand to Bai Ru.

A hint of curiosity flashed across Bai Ru's face, but she still handed her fair and delicate hand to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu held Bai Ru's small hand, which felt warm and smooth to the touch. Then he gently rubbed the "Forget-River Stone" in Bai Ru's palm.

The next second, Bai Ru froze, her eyes slowly becoming vacant.

After a moment, she came to her senses, looked at Qiu Tu, and said with a puzzled look, "Minister Qiu... what are we doing?"

"Did I... finish making the call for you?"

Seeing this, Qiu Tu gently wiped Bai Ru's hand with the "Forgetful River Stone" again.

Bai Ru's body froze again, and her eyes became empty once more.

After a moment, she came to her senses again.

Then she looked at her hand, which Qiu Tu was holding, her cheeks flushed slightly, and said softly, "Minister Qiu... you grabbed my hand as soon as you came in, wasn't that a bit too abrupt?"

Qiu Tu only discussed the phone call with Bai Ru after he entered Bai Ru's house.

Now that his memory of seeing Bai Ru has been erased to the moment he just entered the door, Qiu Tu feels that's enough.

So he released Bai Ru's hand, put the "Forgetful River Stone" back in his pocket, and then said with a smile, "Sorry, Section Chief Bai, it's been a long time since I've seen you. I'm a little excited..."

So, Qiu Tu casually found an excuse to sit with Bai Ru for a while, and after probing her a few times to make sure that Bai Ru really didn't remember helping him make the phone call, he took the initiative to say goodbye.

Although Bai Ru felt something was off, she couldn't remember what had just happened, so she went out to see Qiu Tu off.

As she got up to see him off, Bai Ru glanced at the clock on the wall.

The hands of the clock have already pointed to the 7 o'clock position.

"Time flies so fast..." Bai Ru sighed upon seeing this. "I remember it was only 5 o'clock when I got home."

"I didn't do anything, and it's already 7 o'clock."

'Didn't do anything...' Hearing Bai Ru's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, and almost slapped his thigh in frustration!

That's right! I even erased Bai Ru's memories! Why didn't I do anything?!

How am I any different from the Great Sage who froze the Seven Fairies and then went to steal peaches?

Filled with deep regret, Qiu Tu got into the car, started it, and left Bai Ru's small villa, heading towards the Milan Grand Hotel.

For Qiu Tu, Bai Ru wasn't just a little lustful towards her body; more importantly... she was a thorn in Qiu Tu's side to get him into the city hall.

Qiu Tu now holds a certain position and influence within the Investigation Department. Although he can't be the only one with absolute authority, few can stop him from doing what he wants.

In the military, Qiu Tu had Qin Shuman's help and his own "inspector" status. Although he didn't have as much influence as the Investigation Bureau, he could still do whatever he wanted.

Therefore, in the New Territories, Qiu Tu's only weak point is the City Hall.

Yan Chen's previous actions taught Qiu Tu that when a politician cannot advance vertically in their position in a short period of time, what they need to do is extend their power horizontally. Therefore, Qiu Tu also had the idea of ​​developing his own influence in the city hall.

In this situation, Bai Ru, the section chief with whom Qiu Tu had previously met, who was weak-willed and had no background, became the most suitable person for Qiu Tu to approach.

Qiu Tu's next plan was to win her over, and through her connections with more section chiefs and department heads, gradually infiltrate the city hall.

so.......

'No rush. What's mine will be mine eventually...'

......

After half an hour.

Qiu Tu's car finally arrived at the Milan Grand Hotel.

We parked the car and went inside the hotel.

The hotel staff quickly came over and handed Qiu Tu a room key: 927.

Upon seeing the number on the room key, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then seemed to be deep in thought.

I took the elevator up to the 9th floor.

Following the room numbers one by one, Qiu Tu quickly found the room marked 927.

"Beep...click..."

After swiping his room card, the door unlocked, and Qiu Tu pushed it open.

The room was completely dark, with no one turning on the lights.

'Has Schumann not arrived yet?'

Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the room with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Upon entering the room, Qiu Tu closed the door behind him and prepared to turn on the light.

As soon as he walked to the switch, he suddenly found a gun pressed against his waist.

In that instant, Qiu Tu's body stiffened, and then he reflexively wanted to retaliate! But just then, Qin Shuman's giggling voice came from behind him.

"Minister Qiu~~~ Oh, no, I should say Inspector 9527? You've finally arrived."

Upon hearing that the person behind him was Qin Shuman, Qiu Tu slowly relaxed.

He wasn't easily fooled by Qin Shuman. Instead, he smiled naturally and replied, "Shuman, what are you doing?"

"And what about the 927 inspection?"

"Isn't 927 the room number?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman chuckled softly, then gently released the safety on her pistol.

The crisp "click" sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

She said to Qiu Tu with a cold face, "Qiu Tu... you're still pretending to be stupid."

"You really think I couldn't guess it was you?"

“The Security Bureau had just been established, and Dai Yukang was in a hurry to sort out the security offices in 16 cities. There was already a shortage of manpower.”

"Where did he specifically find an inspector who is high-ranking, capable, and knows the New Territories like the back of his hand?"

"Therefore, his best approach is to select from people outside the departments he has recently taken a liking to."

"And in the New Territories, who is more favored by him than you?"

At this point, Qin Shuman chuckled and tightened her grip on the gun. "Besides... Minister Qiu probably forgot that when you met him not long ago, it was Lin Zuo who led the way for you. He's one of my confidants; he told me everything after just one test."

"So, you really intend to continue hiding it from me?"

Qin Shuman's analysis was reasonable and well-founded. It was both logical and supported by evidence. Even if Qiu Tu had great composure, if someone else had tested him like that, he would most likely have felt guilty and revealed his weakness.

But don't forget... the person behind him is Qin Shuman.

Qiu Tu knew this woman, whose depths he had explored countless times, all too well.

Unlike Guan Xiao, who prefers to gather intelligence through observation and reasoning, Qin Shuman's favorite method is "deception"! She is particularly adept at acting to trick suspects when she herself is unsure!

The problem is... this is precisely what Qiu Tu excels at.

However, Qiu Tu was clearly more experienced than her, so he was able to grasp Qin Shuman's psychology more accurately.

Qin Shuman does have some doubts about herself now, but not many. After all, Qiu Tu's rank doesn't match that of an inspector, and his relationship with Qin Shuman is too good, making him unsuitable to supervise her: it could easily lead to them "colluding."

So she was just trying to kill two birds with one stone: she wanted to trick Qiu Tu, and if he confessed, great; if not, it would just be a bit of fun for the two of them tonight.

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu simply gave in to her wishes.

He coughed and then said, "Since you've already guessed it, Schumann, I won't hide it from you anymore."

"I am indeed the Inspector No. 9527 you mentioned!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman, who was behind Qiu Tu, was slightly taken aback, and then her eyes lit up. She felt that it was indeed an unexpected surprise.

Just then, Qiu Tu, with his back to her, said with a serious expression, "So... now, I'm going to give you an order."

"Take off your pants!"

"Huh?" Qin Shuman was almost stunned when she heard Qiu Tu's words.

But then she burst out laughing.

Because she "discovered" that Qiu Tu wasn't an inspector at all, but... she thought she was playing a "role-playing" game with him, so she started to take on the role.

Thinking this through, although she still had some doubts about Qiu Tu's identity, the night was too short, and Qin Shuman had been suppressing her feelings for a long time, so she still cooperated and said, "Inspector... what's with taking off your pants? This order is too strange!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu turned around with a serious expression, then put his hands behind his back, looked down at Qin Shuman, and said earnestly,

"Director Qin... I asked you to take off your pants because it's for your own good."

“Recently, many catastrophic creatures and evil gods have infiltrated our New Territories City. I need to check if you have been parasitized by them!”

As he spoke, Qiu Tu took advantage of Qin Shuman's "thinking about the plot" and quickly reached down to pull her down!

The next second, Qin Shuman's pants were pulled down to his feet!

Qin Shuman's beautiful bun-shaped house suddenly appeared in front of Qiu Tu.

Sensing Qiu Tu's lecherous behavior, Qin Shuman cried out, "Inspector! No!" and then tried to run away, grabbing her underwear!

However, when Qiu Tu faced Bai Ru just now, he made the same "mistake" as "The Great Sage".

How could I possibly make the same mistake twice?

So, he rushed over, picked Qin Shuman up by the waist, and laughed as he pressed her onto the bed.

"Hehehe! Inspector, if you keep this up, I might shoot!"

Qin Shuman lay on her back, facing Qiu Tu, holding up the gun in her hand, and threatened him with a coquettish smile.

Qiu Tu, however, was not afraid at all, and even said with a smile, "Then you drive."

"After you finish shooting, I'm going to shoot too!"

"Hehehe~~" Qin Shuman laughed as she pulled the trigger!

next second!

"boom!"

A small flower bud emerged from the muzzle of the gun in her hand. Clearly... she wasn't holding a real gun, but a lighter.

As for the gunshot, she imitated it herself by speaking.

"Hehehe, Inspector, please have a smoke~~"

Seeing Qin Shuman's beautiful and lovely appearance, Qiu Tu couldn't resist.

He looked at Qin Shuman with deep affection, then said, "Right now, I don't want to smoke, I just want to...you..."

After saying that, he pounced on it.

A moment later, the sound rang out in the room.

"Sir Inspector, it is against regulations to use a gun against a colleague!"

"Sir Inspector, I'm going to report you to the higher-ups!"

"Inspector...no...don't stop..."

More than an hour later, the rain stopped and the wind died down.

Qin Shuman nestled beside Qiu Tu, looking completely content.

Seeing that Qiu Tu still seemed a little reluctant to leave, she quickly made a "stop" gesture and advised, "Qiu Tu, there's plenty of time tonight."

"Let's talk about serious matters first..."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu didn't continue. Instead, he lit a cigarette and, while continuing to pet Qin Shuman's large cat, joked, "Serious business? I thought you called me because you learned that the Alliance had sent a group of experts to the New Territories. So you wanted to discuss with me how to deal with it."

"So now it seems... the 'serious business' you were referring to was your inspector?"

"Huh? By the way, what's an inspector? When did your security department create this position?"
