Let them offer their loyalty!

"I would like to collaborate with your Security Department on behalf of the Political Department of the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau to execute the 'Expanding The Boundless Sea of Heart' plan,"

"Of course, I'm only asking for the name. The specific implementation will still be your responsibility."

"What I can guarantee is that during your expansion period, Larilo will definitely not return and will not affect your plans."

As he said this, Qiu Tu paused before adding, "Of course, once this plan is reported in the name of both of our departments, we will be in this together, like grasshoppers on the same string; it would be impossible for us to intentionally sabotage the plan."

"Therefore, you can fully trust us."

When Qin Shuman heard Qiu Tu's words, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

After a moment, she slowly said, "You... want to use this plan to get promoted again?"

"Once the 'Expanding The Boundless Sea of Heart' plan is approved, Xinjie City will immediately catch the eye of all powers from the Eighth Sanctuary."

"At that time, various forces and departments will send people over. As the initiators of the plan, both the Security Department and the Political Department will definitely need someone capable of stepping up to take charge."

"And now, the selection for Head of the Xinjie City Political Department has not been determined. For the Sanctuary to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, they will send back the other two director candidates, then let you oversee the work."

"In a situation that may affect the entire Sanctuary, even the human coalition, the position of Head of the Political Department is really inconsequential. The Sanctuary will not be stingy with this arrangement."

Qiu Tu laughed at Qin Shuman's analysis and agreed, "Exactly."

"Actually, it was you who inspired me."

"Both General Ye and Director Dai place great importance on this plan, which clearly has a terrifying impact."

"If this plan can allow the two of them to get promoted, then it should be able to do the same for us."

"By then, you as the head of the Security Department and I as the Head of the Political Department, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Qin Shuman couldn't help but laugh at Qiu Tu's words.

Perhaps because of "getting back what was lost" with Larilo, her mood had improved greatly.

She candidly said, "Actually... when I gave you the proposal and got you involved, I did harbor the selfish intention of taking you along for the ride."

"However, this plan is ultimately under the military, so I couldn't risk causing internal conflicts and forcefully work with you."

"To my surprise, just in a day's time, the situation has completely reversed."

Qin Shuman pretended to be helpless and said, "I didn't expect that now Larilo would end up in your hands, and our military would have no choice but to cooperate with you to carry out the plan."

After finishing, she said, "Then I'll just...'reluctantly' discuss it with Director Dai and General Ye. Let's see if they will agree to your terms?"

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu said with a laugh, "Then I'd like to ask for your help, Major Qin."

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Tu put down the special communicator in his hand and took a deep breath, muttering softly to himself, "Done."

Indeed, Qiu Tu didn't choose either of the two options presented in the bathroom.

The former was because Qiu Tu wasn't willing to just hand over such a great achievement to the Security Department.

Especially since the Security Department's contributions were already enough for Ye Mingfeng, Dai Yukang, and Qin Shuman to get promoted.

The latter was because Qiu Tu wasn't confident; he didn't believe he could control Larilo on his own, without any help.

Furthermore, Qiu Tu's ultimate goal was [promotion]! It was to increase his power and strength through [promotion]!

So, in the end, he chose to merge the two approaches, using Larilo as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the military for the right to be named in the plan, in order to seek the position of Head of the Political Department!

This was the safest choice and the one that best served his interests!
