Let them offer their loyalty!

Like that, after more than ten minutes had passed, Qiu Tu's specially designed communicator finally rang.

Qiu Tu picked up the communicator and answered the call. Immediately, Qin Shuman's voice, carrying a hint of elegance and seduction, came through the receiver,

"Hello? Minister Qiu~~?"

"It seems... you're quite interested in my 'Evil God Capture Plan'~ You called me as soon as you got to work."

Just by listening to Qin Shuman's sweet voice, Qiu Tu could almost visualize her tall and lithe figure.

She seemed to be standing in front of Qiu Tu with her hands behind her back, her eyes forming beautiful crescents as if she were smiling-but-not-smiling at him.

Qiu Tu "looked" at Qin Shuman's figure and then, smiling, said, "Your plan, I guess no one would be uninterested in it."

"But, I believe you probably haven't shown it to many people, have you?"

At the other end of the line, Qin Shuman was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of her office.

Her hair casually piled at the back of her head, she looked both capable and elegant. Dressed in a grass-green military uniform, she stood tall and resolute, her eyes like autumn waters gazing confidently out the window...

She said with a laugh, "Indeed. I only showed it to Director Dai and you."

"Director Dai was very interested and then ordered me to form a new search system at the core of the intelligence system, drawing personnel from the military's various departments and the Security Department's different sections, and then to secretly search for Larilo's whereabouts."

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help chuckling and then said, "You all are moving too fast."

Standing upright in front of the window, Qin Shuman confidently and unhurriedly said, "We can't afford to be slow. Nobody knows how long it will take for Larilo to revive."

"And..." she paused, whispering, "Do you think only Yan Chen and Liu Xiongyuan are eyeing up the positions in the newfound parliament of Dongye State?"

"General Ye and Director Dai have also been paying a lot of attention and trying hard."

"If they really do capture Larilo, they will suddenly have an important chip in their hands."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu, though slightly surprised, was not taken aback.

If he remembered correctly, Tang Feifei had once analyzed for him that Ye Mingfeng represented the 'Young faction' within the military. Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire

With a military rank that was within the top three of the soon-to-be-established Dongye State, and the other two also being majors, it was logical for him to compete for the position of Deputy Speaker.

As for Dai Yukang, he was a powerful figure within the Security Department system. With the establishment of Dongye State, someone was bound to become the top dog of the entire Security Department structure.

His interest was also very understandable.

However... this plan, once successful, would indeed bring them huge political wealth, but Qiu Tu had not forgotten his purpose for calling: there were still two key issues in the plan that had not been resolved.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask the question he was curious about.

He said, "Your plan is sound, but... to capture Larilo, you'll need to capture her Cataclysmic treasures and find her location, right?"

"How are you planning to resolve these two issues?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman laughed.

Her nose bridge was prominent, and when she smiled, she looked very elegant, "So, this is where I need Minister Qiu's help~~"

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu curiously asked, "My help? How can I help?"

Qin Shuman said earnestly, "Larilo's important cultists have all been killed or captured by the Investigation Bureau and the Security Department."

"Now I believe only two are still alive, Zheng Tao and Bai Yu."

"Bai Yu's rank is too high, and it would be too much pressure for you to deal with him. But Zheng Tao... I remember his Evil God Cultist identity has not yet been exposed..."

The relationship between Qiu Tu and Qin Shuman was exceedingly close, and since they were both heads of the intelligence system, they often exchanged intelligence during this period.

So, with just a word from Qin Shuman, Qiu Tu immediately understood what she meant:

Qin Shuman wanted Qiu Tu to downplay the issue, to find an excuse to release Zheng Tao.

Later, the Security Department would secretly take Zheng Tao away, and then use the Evil God's Mark on his body to track down Larilo's whereabouts.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but remember the promise he made to Tan Huimin.

Back then, Tan Huimin had consumed lots of his provisions just so he would let Zheng Tao off the hook.

Qiu Tu's original plan was to release Zheng Tao once Yan Chen emerged from seclusion and have Yan Chen deal with Zheng Tao.

Now that the Security Department wanted to take over, it wouldn't be a problem to hand him over.

After all... no matter what, he was set to be the good guy!

With this in mind, Qiu Tu didn't hesitate to agree, "No problem, I will approve the case today and release Zheng Tao."

With that, Qiu Tu cautioned, "But you need to be discreet in your actions, don't sell me out."

Qiu Tu's joyful ascent clearly delighted Qin Shuman. She said with a laugh, "Don't worry, Minister Qiu~~ We'll be careful not to give you any trouble."

"Plus, once we really capture Larilo, we will recognize your contributions as well."

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but reply with a smile, "Then, that's great."

He joked further, "Who knows, during the capture of Larilo, you might even trace the vine to find more people involved with her."

"After all, she's facing a life-and-death crisis and is so weak now, she will inevitably choose a place she deems safe."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuman covered her mouth and giggled covertly, "All right, all right, any merits will be shared with you."

After that, the two discussed issues related to the capture of the Evil God for a while longer.
