Then let them offer their loyalty!

Upon hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Qiu Tu's lips curled up slightly.

He said with a smile, "Sister Liu, I'm calling you this time to ask for your help."

Chapter 251 Liu Fuping's meteoric rise to fame (2/2 words, please vote!)

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping on the other end of the phone laughed.

"Hehehe~" She laughed so hard she almost fell over. "Indeed, with your heartless, ruthless personality, you wouldn't come looking for me if there was nothing wrong~"

She was very clear about her own situation, so after laughing, she said seriously, "Alright, tell me, my dear minister, what's the matter that you wanted to see me about?"

Despite being teased by Liu Fuping, Qiu Tu showed no embarrassment. He said, "I have some important intelligence that I want to pass on to Director Liu through you."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping didn't pay much attention. She asked, "What intelligence?"

Qiu Tu said solemnly, "Yan Chen is advancing to the fourth-tier Cataclysm, plotting to become the vice-chairman of Dongye Prefecture."

This news was indeed shocking enough that even Liu Fuping, who wasn't particularly sensitive to intelligence, was taken aback.

She couldn't care less about flirting with Qiu Tu anymore and quickly confirmed again, "You mean Yan Chen is advancing to the fourth-tier Cataclysm? And is he preparing to use that to compete for the position of Vice Speaker of Dongye Prefecture?"

After saying that, she asked with some doubt, "But... what is the direct connection between becoming a fourth-tier Cataclysmic Being and competing for the position of Vice Speaker of the Eastern State Council?"

Qiu Tu hadn't had high hopes for Liu Fuping's intelligence analysis abilities to begin with, so when he saw that Liu Fuping couldn't see through the situation, he smiled and said, "Sister Liu, you just need to take this intelligence to Director Liu."

"He'll understand the rest."

Liu Fuping said "Oh, oh" twice, then suddenly realized what she meant.

She asked angrily, "Are you saying I'm stupid?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu laughed twice and then promptly changed the subject, "By the way, what has Sister Liu been up to lately?"

"I haven't heard from you since you left the New Territories."

"I even sent someone to Dongcheng City to inquire about you. But there were no results."

Qiu Tu was actually lying through his teeth.

Since Liu Fuping left, he has hardly thought about her at all.

Moreover... before the establishment of Dongye Prefecture, the various cities were relatively independent, and Qiu Tu's influence could not extend to Dongcheng City.

So, he was just fooling Liu Fuping.

But... women fall for that.

According to the records in "The Emotional Handbook", this is the 10th of "108 Ways to Enhance Relationships": a white lie.

Whether a woman is smart or foolish, they all have one thing in common: they love sweet words.

Even if they know that your sweet words are not true, they will still like them.

This is not only because women need emotional value more than men, but also because they can easily fall into a strange logical loop: if he is willing to lie to me, it means he cares about me.

As expected, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping on the other end of the phone smiled slightly. She was clearly very pleased.

Even though she had a high probability that Qiu Tu was just trying to coax her, she still explained to him in a sweet voice, "I didn't leave you my real name, so there's no way you could find out anything about me."

“And…” she paused, then chuckled softly, “I’m not in Dongcheng City right now either.”

This change was indeed unexpected for Qiu Tu. He paused for a moment, then asked, "You're not in Dongcheng City? Where are you then?"

Liu Fuping said, "I'm in a shelter now."

She said, "With the imminent establishment of Tung Yip State, it signifies that the dozen or so planned areas in Tung City and New Territories will be connected as a whole and formally incorporated into the shelter system."

"Therefore, the shelter demands that Dong Ye State establish a legal system that must end its current chaotic state. It demands that Dong Ye State establish a basic judicial system within the existing investigation department system."

At this point, Liu Fuping said with a hint of pride, "And Director Liu recommended me to become one of the first members of this system."

“I am currently studying at the shelter. I aim to learn the basics of law within a month, memorize the legal provisions, and then go to the New Territories with the shelter’s special magistrate to establish a basic judicial system.”

To be honest, Qiu Tu was genuinely surprised to hear Liu Fuping's words.

Liu Fuping... is going to become a judge?

And he was to become one of the first judges in the newly established judicial system in Dongye State?

This is truly of immense value.

Qiu Tu speculated that given the prestige of those sent to the shelter, Liu Fuping's newfound status would likely translate into a high-ranking position upon her return.

However, when Qiu Tu thought about how... this judicial system was built within the Investigation Bureau system, which further strengthened the Investigation Bureau's power, he felt a bit of a toothache.

In this way, the deputy speaker who holds judicial power in Dongye State and represents the investigation department system will wield extremely terrifying power.

Once Yan Chen actually becomes the vice speaker, Qiu Tu will be completely at Yan Chen's mercy in Dongye Prefecture.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu made a decision again: he must delay the time and not let Yan Chen become the vice speaker.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu first congratulated Liu Fuping, "Then I'll congratulate Sister Liu in advance!"

"I'm eagerly awaiting Sister Liu's return to Dongye Prefecture. I'll definitely throw a welcome party for you then."

After saying that, Qiu Tu quickly brought the topic back to the main point, "Then I'll trouble you, Sister Liu, to contact Director Liu. Please make sure to deliver the information."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping chuckled twice and then said, "Don't worry, little man~ I will definitely deliver the information."

“I believe the Director will be interested.”

After saying that, she brought up the topic of "welcoming me back" that Qiu Tu had mentioned earlier. She lowered her voice and whispered, "When I return to Dongye Prefecture, you really should give me a welcome feast~~~"

"After all, I want to leave with a full 'haul'..."

Hearing Liu Fuping's ambiguous words, Qiu Tu felt his legs go stiff...

He coughed and joked, "It's only been a few days, and Sister Liu already misses my brother this much."

Liu Fuping chuckled twice, then said, "I don't want to."

"I'm just giving it a heads-up, to prevent someone from showering all their children on someone else..."

Sure enough, chatting with a young married woman inevitably leads to increasingly explicit and suggestive conversations.

So Qiu Tu couldn't help but add, "Don't worry. As long as you dare to show up, I'll let you know that in this world, the one who stabs you in the back isn't necessarily a knife..."

Hearing Qiu Tu's lewd remarks on the other end of the phone, Liu Fuping blushed with embarrassment, but even so, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile...

Perhaps it's true that red aura nourishes the body; perhaps it's because she's avenged a ten-year-old feud; or perhaps it's because she's awakened her catastrophic abilities. After just a few days, Liu Fuping is noticeably more beautiful.

Her exquisite, work-of-art features possessed an indescribable allure. Her eyes, slightly upturned in shyness, added a touch of natural charm.

The new judge's uniform she wore added a unique charm to her...

And so, the two, who were already deeply in love, chatted more and more enthusiastically.

By the end of the conversation, Liu Fuping's eyes were practically drooling, while Qiu Tu was itching to rush to the shelter and execute Liu Fuping on the spot!

After all... he hasn't experienced the taste of a female judge yet!

The two chatted for a good ten minutes before Liu Fuping reluctantly suggested ending the call.

According to her, the bus routes from the unplanned area to the shelter operate on a fixed schedule.

She's been chatting with Qiu Tu all the time, so Director Liu won't be able to contact the shelter's back office anymore.

This could very well cause Director Liu to fall further behind in the establishment of Dongye Prefecture.

Therefore, even though she was reluctant, she couldn't continue fighting.

Although Qiu Tu was also a little reluctant, he knew the importance and urgency of the matter, so after reminding Liu Fuping to report the information to Director Liu again, he could only hang up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Tu held the communicator in his hand, gazing at the drizzle outside the window. He thought about Liu Fuping, who was about to rise to prominence; Qin Shuman, who had already achieved great success; and Tang Feifei and Shen Lingshuang, who were born into privilege...

Suddenly, I realized that the women around me seemed to be doing quite well, no less so than me.

So... it seems like I can keep living off this gigolo forever?

After daydreaming for a while, Qiu Tu took out his phone again and called Tang Feifei, his other gigolo.

Tang Feifei on the other end of the phone clearly also saw Yan Chen's illusory image of law reflected in the sky above the entire New Territories.

So, before Qiu Tu could even speak, she took the initiative to bring up the matter.

After learning the whole story and Qiu Tu's plan from him, Tang Feifei was clearly a little hesitant.

She pondered for a long time before asking, "How confident are you in your plan?"

Qiu Tu said, "Almost none."

Tang Feifei: ?

For a moment, Tang Feifei almost thought she had misheard.

But then she heard Qiu Tu say, "But...do we have a better option?"

"We can no longer stop Yan Chen from advancing, and after Yan Chen advances, our situation will obviously become more difficult."

"So, why not give it a try?"

"After all, even if we fail, the worst that could happen is that Yan Chen successfully advances and takes over as vice speaker, which is no different from what we are doing now."

"And if we succeed, we could very well turn the tide."

"If we combine that with the momentum of Dongye Prefecture, we might be able to completely fight against Yan Chen."

After listening to Qiu Tu's analysis, Tang Feifei pondered for a moment.

Then she suddenly spoke coldly, "Qiu Tu... since you've heard a lot of secrets about Yan Chen from Bai Yu..."

"Then I suppose... he must have talked about me too, right?"

Although Tang Feifei phrased it as a question, it sounded like she was certain of the answer, so without waiting for Qiu Tu's reply, she said directly, "Actually... I didn't need to take such a risk."

"Coming to the New Territories was a trial for me. My family deliberately placed me under Yan Chen's command to see if I could make a difference."

"To put it bluntly, they are using Yan Chen as a touchstone, wanting to test me."

"If I can really make a breakthrough under the shrewd and calculating Yan Chen, then I can gain further support and more investment."

"And if that doesn't work, they can transfer me and let me develop in another place."

Qiu Tu listened quietly to Tang Feifei's words, not particularly surprised: This world is inherently unfair; some people are born into privilege, while others are born into poverty.

At this moment, Tang Feifei paused for a moment, and then said coldly, "However... I don't want to be transferred."

"It's not that I really care about my family's support. It's just... I'm so ashamed."

"So... I'm willing to take a gamble with you."

"You continue to think of ways to delay Yan Chen's advancement, while I go and have a talk with Yu Zhengyi."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that he and Yan Chen were old colleagues; he also received favors from my father in the past."

"As long as Yan Chen is unable to control the situation, and as long as he, as the deputy director in charge, stands on our side, or does not express any opinion and only talks about blaming others, I can still keep things under control."

When Tang Feifei spoke these words, her tone was devoid of any emotion, remaining utterly cold. However, Qiu Tu could still discern an arrogant and domineering air between the lines.

Clearly, Tang Feifei, who had been lying low under Yan Chen's command for over a year, had finally revealed her true colors after being provoked by him.

With Yan Chen around, the New Territories City Investigation Department was practically an impenetrable wall; but without Yan Chen, and with even Secretary Bai and Jia Shu unable to take charge, the other senior officials were nothing more than pieces of fat meat under Tang Feifei's fangs!

'Time, oh time, everything hinges on time!'

With that in mind, Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei analyzed in detail the current situation of the upper and middle levels in the New Territories City after Yan Chen's promotion and Secretary Bai's arrest by Qiu Tu. After discussing who they could win over and who they had to suppress, they hung up the phone.

After making three consecutive phone calls, Qiu Tu's anxiety over Yan Chen's advancement had almost completely subsided.

Instead, it was replaced by boundless pride!

Yan Chen, who has always been mature and prudent, is like a tortoise shell, with no weaknesses to be found. But now Yan Chen has been tempted by greed and has taken a risk to compete for the position of vice speaker. Although the probability of success is high, he has also exposed his flaws.

Then don't blame Qiu Tu for focusing on this weakness and turning the tide!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu had one of his trusted subordinates bring him a chair. While enjoying the drizzle outside the window, he held his communicator, waiting for Director Liu to contact him so he could begin further planning...

......

Meanwhile.
