Jia Shu, however, was as if he hadn't seen Liu Fuping's struggle, his face piled with a false smile.

"But what really confirmed for me that you were a spy was the night of 'Yin Caimei's Death'."

"The life or death of Yin Caimei wasn't actually that important, but it was a good opportunity to test for moles within the Investigation Bureau."

"So... I deliberately exaggerated the impact of 'Yin Caimei's Death' at the senior meeting of the Investigation Bureau and covered up the cause of Yin Caimei's death. I wanted to see how many moles it would draw out."

"What I did not expect was that you were the first one to be stirred..."

As he spoke, Jia Shu's face showed his disappointment, "Although you are a skilled interrogator, you're indeed not cut out to be a spy."

"You are too impatient and too restless."

"A minor piece of intelligence, a small test, and you completely lost your composure. This isn't the quality a competent spy should have..."

Saying this, Jia Shu's scalpel traced a few lines across Liu Fuping's exquisitely beautiful face, "So... following the information and issues you exposed."

"I just did a simple check, and I found out your real identity."

"Previously, because the 'Yin Caimei Case' wasn't closed, it wasn't convenient for me to take action against you."

"Now that the 'Yin Caimei Case' has ended completely, I can finally relax..."

As he said this, Jia Shu's scalpel drew a graceful arc, as if sculpting art, heading towards Liu Fuping's delicate wrist—it appeared that Jia Shu intended to bleed Liu Fuping while slowly dissecting her...

At this critical moment.

Suddenly! The door of Jia Shu's office was violently pushed open from the outside!

With a "bang," the door heavily struck the wall.

The hand holding the scalpel came to a slow halt, without even a hint of a tremble.

The smile on his face faded as he turned around slowly to see who had come.

The visitor turned out to be... Qiu Tu, who had already left the Investigation Bureau building but returned unexpectedly!

Seeing Qiu Tu, there wasn't much surprise on Jia Shu's face.

He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and asked with a feigned smile, "Chief Qiu... oh, I mean, Chief Qiu. Shouldn't you give me an explanation for bursting into my office in the middle of the night?"

Upon hearing Jia Shu's words, Qiu Tu smiled, seeming to have a kind of reckless fearlessness.

He did not respond to Jia Shu's question but instead pointed at Liu Fuping, who was tied to the dissection table, and countered, "Then... shouldn't the minister explain why he tied up my subordinate on the dissection table in the middle of the night?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's sharp response, a mocking smile appeared on Jia Shu's face; his eyes hidden behind glasses were full of amusement, "Certainly."

He pointed at Liu Fuping on the dissection table, "This subordinate of yours is a spy. I am interrogating her now..."

Qiu Tu heard this and shook his head.

He said, "Minister, that's exactly why I've come to see you."

"You might have misunderstood; Agent Liu is not a spy."

"Misunderstood?" A curious look flashed in Jia Shu's eyes, "How have I misunderstood?"

The bright lights in the room cast more shadows, making the entire room seem to be divided and crisscrossed by light and shadow, appearing exceptionally eerie and magnificent.

Qiu Tu slowly walked over to Liu Fuping, holding her while saying, "Are you trying to say that Agent Liu is a spy arranged by the Political Department of the Eastern City District?"

Jia Shu regarded Qiu Tu noncommittally.

Qiu Tu said, "That indeed was Agent Liu's previous identity."

"Oh?" Jia Shu adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, watching Qiu Tu with a semblance of a smile, "Her previous identity? Does she have a new one now?"

The shadows in the room seemed to spread slowly...

Liu Fuping, sensing the impending danger, widened her eyes and shook her head at Qiu Tu, as if signaling him to leave quickly.

But... Qiu Tu, as if unaware of anything, confidently said, "Yes."

"Because... during the 'Yin Caimei Case,' I turned Agent Liu. I made her a double agent."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jia Shu laughed, "Chief Qiu, do I need to remind you that even if you really cultivated or turned a spy, you would still need formal documentation on file?"

"And with your prior rank, you weren't authorized to plant spies, were you?"

Qiu Tu retained an utmost calm expression. While unlocking the handcuffs on Liu Fuping, he smiled and replied, "You're right to remind me, minister."

"So, I didn't plan to directly authorize her as a double agent myself at that time."

"I was preparing to report to you and apply for it."

As he said this, Qiu Tu went to the foot of the table and unlocked Liu Fuping's shackles, "But then, who would've thought that tonight, I would be promoted."

"And with my position, I just happen to have the authority to plant spies."

"So... I simply wrote an Authorization Letter myself and created a spy profile for Agent Liu."

With that, Qiu Tu produced a document and showed it in front of Jia Shu.

Jia Shu glanced at it, and indeed it was a legal spy profile with Liu Fuping's signature on it...

After showing the document, Qiu Tu quickly put the document away and then said, "But... I didn't expect that in just a short hour or two, the minister would have taken away my spy."

"So... In my haste, I barged into the minister's office."

"That was indeed wrong of me,"

After speaking, Qiu Tu slightly bowed to Jia Shu and said earnestly, "So... please punish me, Minister!"

At this moment, Liu Fuping, whose handcuffs and shackles Qiu Tu had undone, had already hidden behind the bent figure of Qiu Tu.

She clasped Qiu Tu's clothes tightly with both hands, nervously watching the covert struggle between the two men.

Seeing Qiu Tu bow to admit his fault, Jia Shu said nothing. He just looked at Qiu Tu, quietly watching...

After about five or six seconds, a smile suddenly blossomed on his face.

Then he threw the scalpel into the tray, took off the rubber gloves, and helped Qiu Tu to his feet, saying with a forced smile, "Chief Qiu, you make too much of it."

"What is there to punish? It's all a misunderstanding," he said.

As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Fuping and said with a smirk, "Additionally, Agent Liu, I have a criticism for you too."

"Since you're already one of us, you should have taken the initiative to reveal your identity."

"By staying silent, aren't you deliberately causing misunderstandings between Chief Qiu and me?"

Facing the perverted Jia Shu, Liu Fuping was genuinely afraid. So although she wanted to help Qiu Tu smooth things over, she opened her mouth several times but still couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu also conveniently said with a smile, "Minister, you can't blame Agent Liu. Look, she can't even speak right now."

"After all, who doesn't know of the Minister's reputation in Xinjie City?"

"Haha." Listening to Qiu Tu's compliments, Jia Shu laughed hollowly twice.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu didn't dare linger and timely suggested leaving, "Then Minister, if there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now. There's still a pile of work to be busy with."

Upon hearing this, Jia Shu casually picked up a remote control and pressed a button. Then, watching the autopsy table slowly lower, he said with a fake smile, "Go ahead, go ahead."

Seeing this, Qiu Tu grabbed Liu Fuping's hand and then walked briskly out of Jia Shu's office without looking back...

After Qiu Tu left, the autopsy table fully descended.

With his back to the office door, Jia Shu's eyes had turned completely crimson...

A sick smile appeared on his face, "Hehehe. The fruit has finally ripened...."

"I really must thank the Bureau Chief and Liu Fuping, hehehe...."

...

Meanwhile.

Having left Jia Shu's office, Qiu Tu started sprinting with Liu Fuping in tow.

Only when they had exited the ninth floor and stepped into the elevator did Qiu Tu finally heave a sigh of relief.

Seeing Qiu Tu's reaction, the color slowly returned to Liu Fuping's pale face, and her body gradually regained sensation.

She bit her flaming red lip and gazed at Qiu Tu with her lovely eyes, asking softly, "Did you... see the ring I dropped?"

"Ring? What ring?" Qiu Tu took a few deep breaths before looking at Liu Fuping with a puzzled expression.

Hearing Qiu Tu's question, Liu Fuping seemed puzzled, "The ring... the one I was wearing today."

"You didn't see the ring I dropped? Then how did you... know something happened to me?"

Upon hearing Liu Fuping's question, Qiu Tu chuckled and flirtatiously replied, "What else could it be, it's because of our hearts being in sync, of course...."

At Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping smiled and gave him a gentle slap, "Still, the chief has a way with words."

Looking at Liu Fuping's gradually normalizing state, Qiu Tu's gaze turned somewhat distant...

In truth, the reason he was able to come to Liu Fuping's rescue was really just a coincidence.

It was yesterday morning, which was Sunday.

When Liu Fuping took Qiu Tu to meet Jia Shu, Qiu Tu had experimented on her with a Cataclysmic Creature he obtained from the "Salvage Game" - the Silver Key Beehive!

This Cataclysmic Creature could follow, monitor, and record everything that happened to a target object or creature for 36 hours.

When Qiu Tu used it, it happened to be 10:30 a.m. (Chapter 130)

And tonight, when Qiu Tu calmed Bai Ru down and escorted her out of the Investigation Bureau building, it was exactly 10:30 p.m., which was 36 hours after he used the Cataclysmic Creature.

So... as Qiu Tu was preparing to drive to find Tang Feifei, the Silver Key Bee returned to him from Liu Fuping.

Since it was his first time testing this Cataclysmic Creature, Qiu Tu, who was sitting in the car, became curious and checked what Liu Fuping had done over the past day and a half.

As a result... he happened to see the scenes of Liu Fuping being taken away and threatened by Jia Shu...

At that moment, Qiu Tu was truly shocked.

He was hesitant about whether or not to take the risk to rescue Liu Fuping.

But then... a detail in the footage involving Jia Shu made Qiu Tu decide to act.
