Let them offer their loyalty!

Upon hearing Xiaowan's words, Tang Feifei's expression showed little change.

She got up calmly, started getting dressed, and asked, "Is someone deliberately fueling the fire?"

Such a topic was clearly beyond Xiaowan's capability.

She hesitated for a moment, then struggled to use her simple mind and replied stumblingly, "I don't think so?"

She recalled for a moment, then said, "Because of the Dare-to-Die Team's confidentiality clause. They are only accountable to Minister Qiu and you."

"When neither of you is around, they cannot disclose any information to anyone."

"Actually, Director Yu, Minister Lin, and Minister Shi have all tried to contact them, but were shut out."

"Now, apart from you, the Dare-to-Die Team refuses to see anyone else, only allowing the medical department to send doctors to help the wounded."

"So, the bureau is completely in the dark about what exactly has happened to the Dare-to-Die Team."

"Everyone just knows that 24 members of the Dare-to-Die Team, 23 have come back in batches, and most of them are wounded, some even severely, only Minister Qiu hasn't returned."

"So... it's speculated that maybe something happened to Minister Qiu?"

Hearing Xiaowan's words, Tang Feifei thought for a moment and agreed with Xiaowan's analysis.

Until everything settles, even if someone wanted to harm Qiu Tu, they wouldn't come forward.

The current rumors are probably because the Dare-to-Die Team returned severely injured, and the mission was abruptly halted, yet Qiu Tu hasn't returned.

These are minor issues...

—As long as Qiu Tu can safely return.

Thinking so... Tang Feifei couldn't help but recall what Qiu Tu had shown her in the "Boundless Heart Sea" and the business they had discussed...

Her gaze acquired a hint of playfulness: even... this minor issue might help with her business with Qiu Tu.

Thinking this, Tang Feifei also stepped towards the doorway of the lounge and then said, "Call the senior executives and tell them to meet in the conference room."

"Also, have the Dare-to-Die Team send four representatives, two each from the military and the Investigation Bureau, to report on their work."

"Yes!" Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Xiaowan quickly saluted and then began to make arrangements.

After a short while, in the senior executive conference room, Tang Feifei, Yu Zhengyi, Shi Youxin, Lin Ting, Guan Weihua seriously listened to the reports from four members of the Dare-to-Die Team.

When they heard about the Fourth-Order Evil God Whale Shark, not only penetrating the Xinjie Territory but also gathering hundreds of Cataclysmic Creatures to search for Leyline Nodes and drive out humans, the executives were shocked.

They knew the situation in Xinjie Territory was deteriorating, but they hadn't realized it had worsened to this extent.

This indicated that control of the Xinjie Territory had once again been thoroughly seized by the Evil God.

Thinking this, they also couldn't help but ask about the Dare-to-Die Team's mission and Qiu Tu's situation.

Upon hearing that the Dare-to-Die Team's mission was nearly completed, but due to the drastic worsening of the situation Qiu Tu asked them to return to the real world in advance while he stayed behind to finish the final tasks, the expressions of the senior executives became somewhat complex.

To be honest... although they held some grudges against Qiu Tu, they somewhat admired the spirit of a high-ranking individual like Qiu Tu, who, for the sake of the mission, still risked his life.

After all, if they put themselves in his shoes, they admitted they couldn't do that...

So, after the Dare-to-Die Team members left, Guan Weihua was the first to sigh and said, "Actually... I've always had some complaints about Minister Qiu. But... now I see him in a new light."

"To still not forget the mission in such times and penetrate deep into enemy territory, he truly deserves to be learned from by everyone in the Investigation Bureau."

Hearing his words, the other executives, who also felt the impact, except Tang Feifei, all showed subtle changes in expression.

They looked at each other, and finally, Shi Youxin was the first to speak.

He chuckled and said, "Director Guan, I must disagree with you."

"Although Minister Qiu is indeed brave and diligent... it's important to know that this operation was not carried out by him alone, but with the support of the Investigation Bureau, Xinjie City, and even the Sanctuary."

"He, being on the front lines, only needs to focus on carrying out the mission, but we... those of us situated in the rear have a lot of things to consider."

"What equipment to provide, how to execute plans, whether to continue the mission, whether to send reinforcements, are all things we need to think about."

"If a battle merits 100 points of credit, then the front-line soldiers should at most account for only 20%."

Hearing his words, the conference room fell silent...

Due to different systems, there had always been some discord between the management sequence and action sequence officers in the Investigation Bureau.

And the allocation of credit was an even more sensitive topic.

Thus, his words momentarily made the atmosphere in the office a bit tense.

Despite both being from the Yan Faction, the expressions on Guan Weihua and Lin Ting's faces were also vaguely restless.

Seeing this scene, Tang Feifei's lips curled into a slight smile but immediately retracted it.

She didn't continue to stir things up under these circumstances but rather rapped on the table, then, according to the plan she had with Qiu Tu, began to set things up.

After the senior executives looked towards her, Tang Feifei calmly surveyed them and then slowly began, "You've all heard the report from the Dare-to-Die Team just now."

"Right now, Minister Qiu is deep in danger."

"I think our Investigation Bureau cannot stand idly by but should provide reinforcements or assistance."
