Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 493 - 316: Late Night Games with Qin Shuman (Asking for Monthly Tickets with 10,000 Words!)_2

"It can be used directly, or forged with skills to create Cataclysmic treasures like ’Reverberation Echo Pot’ and ’Starry Beyond Letter’."

This was a Cataclysmic Material reward that Qiu Tu obtained from the Countdown Treasure Chest called [Zhao Ji’s Wrath].

This piece of Cataclysmic Material could not only be used to make Cataclysmic treasures, but also had powerful effects when used alone.

It was precisely because he had obtained this Cataclysmic Material that Qiu Tu dared to ask Bai Ru to make this phone call for him.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu stretched out his hand to Bai Ru.

A flash of curiosity crossed Bai Ru’s face, but she still passed her delicate hand to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu held Bai Ru’s hand, which felt warm and moist, and then gently rubbed the ’Lethe Stone’ in the palm of her hand.

The next second, Bai Ru’s body froze, and her eyes slowly became vacant.

After a moment, she regained her senses and looked at Qiu Tu with a bit of confusion, saying, "Minister Qiu... What are we doing?"

"Did I... finish making the phone call for you?"

Seeing this, Qiu Tu once again gently rubbed Bai Ru’s hand with the ’Lethe Stone’.

Bai Ru’s body froze again, and her eyes once again became vacant.

After a moment, she came back to her senses.

Then she looked at her hand that was being held by Qiu Tu, her cheeks blushed slightly, and she said in a soft voice, "Minister Qiu... you grabbed my hand as soon as you came in, isn’t that a bit too abrupt?"

Qiu Tu had discussed making the phone call after entering Bai Ru’s house.

Now seeing that Bai Ru’s memory had been wiped to the moment he had just entered, Qiu Tu felt it was enough.

So he let go of Bai Ru’s hand, put the ’Lethe Stone’ back into his pocket, and then smiled and said, "Sorry, Section Chief Bai, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. I got a bit excited..."

With that, he found a simple excuse to sit with Bai Ru for a while, and after probing a few sentences and confirming that Bai Ru really didn’t remember making the phone call, Qiu Tu took the initiative to say goodbye.

Although Bai Ru always felt something was off, because she truly did not remember what had just happened, she went out to see Qiu Tu off.

When she got up to see him out, Bai Ru inadvertently glanced at the clock on the wall.

The hands of the clock had reached the 7 o’clock position.

"Time flies so fast..." Seeing this, Bai Ru couldn’t help but sigh, "I remember it was only 5 o’clock when I got home."

"I didn’t do anything, and it’s already 7 o’clock."

’Didn’t do anything...’ Hearing Bai Ru’s words, Qiu Tu was taken aback and almost slapped his own thigh in frustration!

Right! He had even erased Bai Ru’s memory! Why didn’t he do something?!

It was as if he had frozen the Seven Fairies in place, and then went to steal peaches like the Great Saint!

With a heavy heart full of regret, Qiu Tu got into his car, started it, and left Bai Ru’s small villa, heading towards the Milan Grand Hotel.

For Bai Ru, Qiu Tu was not only a bit fond of her body, but more importantly... she was a spy that Qiu Tu had planted in the City Hall.

Now, Qiu Tu had a certain position and influence in the Investigation Bureau, and although he couldn’t do whatever he wanted, there were still few people who could stop him from doing something.

In the military, Qiu Tu had the support of Qin Shuman, and also his own "Inspector" position, which, while not as influential as the Investigation Bureau, still enabled him to get things done without much trouble.

Therefore, in Xinjie City, the only weak spot for Qiu Tu was the City Hall.

Yan Chen’s previous actions had taught Qiu Tu that when he couldn’t rise vertically in his position for a short period, what a politician needed to do was extend his power horizontally. Hence Qiu Tu started thinking about expanding his influence in the City Hall.

Under such circumstances, Bai Ru, who had previous contact, a gentle personality, and no background anymore, became the best entry point for Qiu Tu.

Securing her, and through her making contact with more section chiefs and directors to gradually infiltrate the City Hall, was Qiu Tu’s next plan.

So...

’No rush. What’s mine will be mine, sooner or later...’

...

Half an hour later.

Qiu Tu’s car finally arrived at the Milan Grand Hotel.

After parking the car and entering the hotel,

a hotel staff member quickly walked over and handed Qiu Tu a room key: 927.

Seeing the number on the room key, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then seemed somewhat pensive.

Taking the elevator up to the 9th floor,

Qiu Tu followed the room numbers and quickly found the room marked 927.

"Beep... Click...."

After swiping the room card, the door unlocked, and Qiu Tu pushed it open.

The lights in the room were off, and it was pitch dark.

’Has Shuman not arrived yet?’

Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment, puzzled, and stepped into the room.

Upon entry, Qiu Tu shut the door behind him and prepared to turn on the light.

But just as he approached the switch, suddenly, he felt a gun pressing against his waist.

In that instant, Qiu Tu’s body stiffened, followed by an instinctual desire to fight back! Just then, he heard Qin Shuman’s playful laughter behind him.

"Minister Qiu~~~ Oh, that’s not right, should I call you Inspector 9527? You finally came."

Hearing the person behind him was Qin Shuman, Qiu Tu’s body slowly relaxed.

He wasn’t easily fooled by Qin Shuman but instead smiled naturally and replied, "Shuman, what are you doing?"

"And what’s this 927 Inspector?"

"927’s just the room number, isn’t it?"

Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Qin Shuman laughed lightly, and then gently released the safety catch of the gun.

The crisp "click" of the safety echoed distinctly in the silent room.
