Chapter 371_3

"Sss!"
Qiu Tu sucked in a cool breath, then woke up amidst the soreness, checking his arm before belatedly recalling the glorious battle achievements of the previous day and night.
Thinking back to how he worked so hard yesterday, head down and toiling away, and to Tang Feifei, who was nearly broken from the ordeal, he silently lit a candle for his back...
It felt as if his back would never be of use again.
With this thought in mind, he slightly moved his thigh, and the soreness shot straight to the crown of his head.
"Let's light one for Yue Kua as well, he's probably done for too..."
While silently lamenting the intensity of yesterday's battle, Qiu Tu reflexively reached to his side, then realized that the spot beside him had long been vacated, leaving nothing but the faint scent of jasmine...
Although he had always known that their relationship was nothing more than a transaction, at that moment, Qiu Tu still felt a bit disappointed.
"Shouldn't there be some credit given for hard work?"
"This is too much like turning one's back and not recognizing someone!"
And just as he was thinking this, suddenly, the bedroom door opened. Tang Feifei walked in barefoot, barelegged, bare-bodied, carrying a bowl of medicine.
Her legs were long, her body curving elegantly as if containing infinite explosive power and resilience.
Walking with an indescribable rhythm, like a leopard quietly sprinting through the jungle, each step full of power and rhythm.
Arriving next to Qiu Tu, she bent down to place the medicine, then spoke coldly, "Drink it. You worked hard last night."
Especially... with the "Boundless Heart Sea Expansion Plan" once completed, the inauguration of the Dongye State Council could be moved up again.
By then, he would likely have to face the threat of Huang Shangzong directly.
So, Qiu Tu must increase his position and strengthen his power as much as possible, before that happens.
Among the deputy directors of the Organizational Department, Zhen Lie is from the "Iron-Blood Faction," Zhou Jingfu is from the "Reformist Faction," and Meng Sanzhai is from the "Fengtian Faction."
These three people, according to the information provided by Yan Chen, should have nothing to do with Qiu Tu except for Meng Sanzhai.
With this thought, he couldn't help but look towards Ouyang Heng sitting next to him; Ouyang Heng was from the "Free Democracy Faction" and even less related to Qiu Tu.
But why... all four supported Qiu Tu!
Moreover, among them, Meng Sanzhai from the "Fengtian Faction" was the most Buddhist, supporting Qiu Tu in gesture more than in speech.
Not for nothing is he called an Evil God, able to make others comfortable with just a word.
Beauty is a bone-cutting knife, but as it is well known, we people from Zhejiang are born with tough bones.
Gripping the steering wheel tightly is what makes driving exciting, sis seems a bit impatient, huh?
Mountains are the extremely slow waves from a geological era.
Beauty? Not sure, but when the flowers bloom so brilliantly, not admiring them would seem almost like I don't appreciate the finer things.
Thinking this, after successfully raising Larilo's loyalty, Qiu Tu didn't bother with her anymore.

"In order to comply with procedure and to avoid any lengthy complications, as soon as the Speaker officially takes office, we immediately went ahead to arrest Eagle."

After receiving Qiu Tu's approval, Guan Xiao looked at him somewhat puzzled before asking, "Sir... You don't seem at all surprised by this intelligence?"
She asked with a hint of confusion, "Don't you think this intelligence is important?"
"Just... no encouragement? No praise?"
Hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile. He nodded and said, "You're right, Section Chief Guan."
"The Intelligence Section has made such a great contribution; it indeed deserves a proper commendation."
"Once this case is cracked and these members of the United Front Special Combat Team have been eliminated, I will make a request to the higher-ups to recognize your achievements."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao's attractive, seductive eyes took a deep look at Qiu Tu, then she said, "Sir... I don't know if it's just an illusion."
"I always feel... like you knew about the United Front Special Combat Team before me?"
Hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu simply leaned back in his chair and responded with a faint smile, "Is that so?"
"Well..."
"You might have guessed right."
Qiu Tu's response widened Guan Xiao's eyes slightly.
Having studied and worked in the intelligence system for many years, Guan Xiao had long developed the ability and habit to gather intelligence at any time. This also made her particularly sensitive to certain emotional cues.
So when she had finished reporting the intelligence on the United Front Special Warfare Squad, and Qiu Tu showed neither shock nor urgency, she had keenly detected something off.
But, although her intuition told her that Qiu Tu might also know this intelligence, rationally she found it hard to believe.
After all, her intelligence was brought out by spies at great pain and risk to their lives.
How could Qiu Tu know it?
And at that moment,
Each bone, each blood vessel, each muscle's subtle spiritual power pathways became gradually clearer, like stars dotting the night sky, twinkling with dazzling light. These spiritual power pathways not only strengthened his physical body but also enabled him to absorb and manipulate external spiritual power more efficiently.
His muscles became tougher and more powerful under the nourishment of spiritual power, as if containing the weight of mountains and the fluidity of rivers. Whenever Lin Yi moved, the air would tremble slightly with his actions, a minor manifestation of his internal power leaking out. Even more astonishing was that his bones seemed to be reforged in the promotion process, becoming denser and tougher, able to withstand greater impact forces.
Change of the Soul
