Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 9 Showtime!

After leaving the room, Qiu Tu followed Cuilan.

His steps were neither fast nor slow, and his demeanor was calm. The lights on both sides of the corridor swayed, casting his slender shadow like a moving picture.

Soon, the two came to the door of an elegantly decorated study room.

At the door of the study, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and an elegant temperament was waiting there. He was wearing a tailored tunic suit with a false smile on his face, like a smiling fox.

Qiu Tu knew him. He was the director of the [Political Department] of the New Territories City Investigation Department, Yan Ai's right-hand man, and the first think tank: Jia Shu.

Although he looks polite and gentle, only those who have really been in contact with him know how cruel and bloody his methods are.

The fact that the [Political Department] has become a department that is known throughout New Territories City has a lot to do with him.

At least more than half of the bloody corpses taken out of the [Political Department] at midnight every day are from the hands of this smiling fox.

He is like a shadow cast by the huge body of the Investigation Agency, silently penetrating into every corner of the city. It is both unfathomable and ubiquitous.
So when he saw Jia Shu, Qiu Tu immediately cheered up. He quickly stood still and saluted Jia Shu, "Sir!"

Jia Shu seemed to be specifically waiting for Qiu Tu. When he saw Qiu Tu, he looked up and down, and then asked with a smile, "Qiu Tu?"

After seeing Qiu Tu nodding, his smile became even brighter, "The director is waiting for you. Please."

After saying that, he turned around, opened the door to the study, and stretched out his hand to indicate to Qiu Tu.

The light in the study was dim, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. Qiu Tu always felt that the open door was like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, ready to devour anyone at any time.
But he was already prepared for a walk in the tiger's den today, so he calmly took a deep breath and walked in.
Yan Ai's study was very large, but the light was very dark. Two layers of thick curtains were hung on the large windows, which blocked the light outside and left large shadows.

There was only one light source in the entire study, the desk lamp, and the light was dimmed so that it could only illuminate a palm-sized area on the large mahogany desk. Yan Ai was sitting in the shadow behind the desk, and only his outline could be vaguely seen.
"Hello Director!"

Seeing the overlord of New Territories City, Qiu Tu quickly straightened his back and saluted respectfully.

But there was no response.

Qiu Tu maintained his saluting posture and tried to find Yan Ai's expression, but because the room was too dark, he couldn't see anything clearly.

He just felt that Yan An seemed to have been observing him, and his insidious gaze made people feel numb and shudder.
After more than ten seconds like this, a dull "Hmm" came from the shadows, "No courtesy."

Qiu Tu breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands down, and then observed the situation in the study with the corner of his eyes.

Yan Ai was not the only one in the study. In addition to Jia Shu who had just introduced Qiu Tu and was now standing next to Yan Ai, there was also Fang Ming standing not far from him.

Seeing Fang Ming, Qiu Tu's heart moved slightly, and he made a rough guess: It seems that his arrangement for the afternoon must have worked.

Sure enough, following his thoughts, Jia Shu, who was standing next to Yan Ai, slowly spoke.

He looked at Qiu Tu with a half-smile, and praised, "I heard that Agent Qiu is a good marksman?"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu said with a serious face, "Sir, my shooting skills are average!"

"Oh? Really?" Jia Shu looked exaggeratedly surprised, "But that's not what I heard."

He glanced at Fang Ming, who was standing aside, and said with a half-smile, "You know it was only a few hours. A sharpshooter appeared in the administrative office, and the news of the six-shot withdrawal of the RUF spread throughout the Exploration Agency. "

“Even some staff at City Hall have heard about it.”

"I received at least three communications on my way here, all about you."

Qiu Tu did not directly answer Jia Shu's question. He looked at Yan Ai and said sincerely, "Director, you personally selected me into the Investigation Agency back then, so you know my abilities."

"I'm good at driving and running errands. But I'm really bad at shooting." Yan Ai sat on a chair in the shadows, staring at Qiu Tu with a pair of tiger eyes, without saying a word.

Jia Shu adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile, "Agent Qiu, do you mean this is false?"

Qiu Tu shook his head, "No, it's not false. But there's something else hidden."

As he said that, he glanced at Fang Ming beside him and said seriously, "Agent Fang was at the scene at the time. He also saw how difficult the RUF was."

"The Secret Service attacked with full firepower for more than a minute without injuring any RUF member."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Fang Ming's face suddenly looked a little ugly. But in front of Yan Ai, he didn't dare to hide anything. He could only nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Yes."

After saying that, he took the initiative to admit his mistake and said, "It's because we didn't train enough and had no experience in actual combat, so we messed up the situation."

"But Director, trust me, as long as..."

He was interrupted by Qiu Tuzhi in the middle of his words, "Agent Fang, don't belittle yourself."

Fang Ming frowned and looked at Qiu Tu, wondering what Qiu Tu wanted to say.

Qiu Tu didn't even look at him, he looked directly at Yan Ai and said, "Director, the agents of the Special Service Department are actually very capable, but the RUF is deliberately avoiding their attacks today."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jia Shu said with a smile, "Agent Qiu is joking. If you don't 'deliberately' avoid the enemy's attack during the battle, do you still have to 'deliberately' get hit by the enemy?"

After saying that, Jia Shu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly paused, looking at Qiu Tu with squinted eyes.

At this time, Qiu Tu's face finally showed his first smile after entering the house. He nodded and said, "Sir Mingjian! Those shots I fired were deliberately shot by me!"

Maybe because what Qiu Tu said was too fantastical, the study was quiet for a while.
After a moment, Fang Ming looked at Qiu Tu and said with a confused expression, "Qiu Tu, what are you talking about? Did you hit me on purpose?"

But before he finished speaking, Yan Ai, who had always cherished words like gold, suddenly said, "Fang Ming, get out."

Fang Ming looked at Yan Ai in the shadows with a surprised look on his face, wondering why he was suddenly kicked out.

But Yan Ai didn't give any explanation, he just looked at him deeply.

Heavy pressure swept over him in waves, causing Fang Ming to sweat slightly on his forehead.

For a moment, he lowered his head and said, "Yes! Director!"

After saying that, he saluted and quickly walked out of the study.

As the door to the study room closed, Yan Ai slowly sat up straight and looked at Qiu Tu with a pair of sinister eyes, "Tell me what's going on."

Qiu Tu responded, and then said slowly, "Director, this is a long story. Let's start when we hang up the communication."

He said, "After hanging up your communication, I returned to Miss Schumann and took the initiative to tell you about your communication with me."

"She was shocked and asked me how I handled it."

"I told her that I had found an excuse to get you over without arousing your suspicion, and expressed my love to her again."

"Perhaps she thought I was handing over my reputation, so she finally stopped acting, and told me in a subtle way that her status was extraordinary. As long as I follow her loyally, she can guarantee my prosperity."

"And in order to prove her energy to me, she said she would also give me a meeting gift."
