Chapter 11 Reversing the Situation!

At this moment, watching Yan Chen's cat-and-mouse game expression and listening to his explanations that were detailed to the point of mockery, Qiu Tu felt like cursing.He finally understood why "Crisis Intuition" in its second hint reminded him, "Your lies still have some loopholes that won't hold up to scrutiny." This wasn't "some loopholes"; this was nothing but holes! Who could have imagined that everyone treated Yan Chen as a "brother," yet he played mind games with his "brothers," going so far as to fabricate the background of his own mistress! However, he also knew that now was not the time for regret or frustration. After all, regret and frustration wouldn't help the situation at all and might even cut off his last avenue of escape. So he had to calm down and find a way to break the game! Thinking this way, Qiu Tu slowly composed his emotions, and his mind began to operate at high speed. At this time, his "work" experience from many years in a fraud group finally came into play... During those years "working" in a fraud group, Qiu Tu received comprehensive scam training, which included not only how to see through a person's weaknesses but also...how to continue the scam after being exposed. Therefore, he quickly assembled the clues he knew and adjusted his plan. Soon, he had a plan in mind... Possibly because he had a plan, he no longer panicked. So the next second, Qiu Tu naturally began his second performance. He didn't make any defense, but instead showed a timely expression of confusion and then asked Yan Chen, "Bureau Chief... are you sure that everything you just said is true?" "There's something wrong with this matter." "The Qin Shuman you're talking about and the Qin Shuman I've been in contact with don't match up at all..." 'The one who lies will explain when someone points out the loopholes. The one who tells the truth will first suspect that there is something wrong with the other party.' Then, Qiu Tu accurately pointed out the flaws in Yan Chen's previous statements. He said, "Additionally, Bureau Chief, even if everything you say is true, it doesn't clear Qin Shuman of suspicion." "After all, Qin Shuman was cloned and raised by the Qin Family the entire time. No one knows what they taught her during her upbringing." "The Qin Family might have taught her to be forever loyal to you, or they might have instructed her to gather secrets around you." Hearing Qiu Tu's rebuttal, Yan Chen's smile slowly faded, and his face became expressionless. Seeing this, Qiu Tu's heart settled a bit, and he continued to point out the problems in Yan Chen's logic chain, "Furthermore, you said the Qin Family doesn't dare to offend you because you hold the life and death of the Qin Family." "Allow your subordinate to make a bold assumption. If you truly can control the life and death of the Qin Family, wouldn't you also be able to easily handle the other clans and organizations of Xinjie City?" "As the Investigation Bureau Chief of Xinjie City, you can easily handle the various clans and organizations of the entire city, so can the Bureau Chiefs of other cities also easily handle their city's clans and organizations?" At this point, Qiu Tu paused and then quietly asked, "Then... what's the point of Sanctuaries establishing City Halls in various cities? Why not just let the Investigation Bureau be in charge of all the city's big and small matters....?" Upon hearing Qiu's words, Yan Chen did not speak for a moment, and the atmosphere in the study room suddenly became silent.... Seeing this, Qiu Tu knew he had made the right bet. He didn't show it on his face, but inwardly he was already unceasingly cursing Yan Chen's ancestors. This old bastard was indeed trying to deceive him! No wonder he felt something was off when he was listening: if the Investigation Bureaus of each city were really that powerful, wouldn't that render the Municipal Committees powerless? How could the Sanctuaries and Municipal Committees possibly allow such a powerful department to exist! This simply didn't make sense! Of course, Qiu Tu didn't think that Yan Chen would lie about such a matter, he surmised that Yan Chen was most likely concealing part of the truth: For instance, the Bureau Chief of the Investigation Bureau might indeed be able to "determine" whether a clan or organization was suitable for cooperation, but only had the "right to investigate," not the "decision-making power." Such a significant affair is likely to be reported to City Hall, where the Municipal Committee would discuss and decide. Therefore, even if the Investigation Bureau Chief concludes through investigation that a certain Clan is not suitable for cooperation, City Hall could disregard this investigation, send it back, and ask the Investigation Bureau to re-investigate. This is in line with Qiu Tu's understanding of the power structure in the Planning Area. Just now, Yan Chen obviously played a game of words, deceiving Qiu Tu momentarily. Realizing this, Qiu Tu felt even more confident. He was just about to "press his advantage" when suddenly, at that moment, the study door was flung open from the outside. Qiu Tu looked toward the door and saw Jia Shu walk in. Upon entering the study, he closed the door behind him, then walked slowly over to Yan Chen, bent down, and whispered a few sentences in Yan Chen's ear. The study was very quiet, so even though Jia Shu's voice was soft, Qiu Tu still vaguely heard parts of the key conversation, such as, "At the time of the attack, Qiu Tu was indeed the first to react." "Fang Ming did indeed command Qiu Tu to protect Qin Shuman and evacuate, but Qiu Tu didn't evacuate." "The Old Alley Street Public Security Office did indeed receive a distress call from Qiu Tu right at the start of the shootout." Qiu Tu looked calmly at Yan Chen and Jia Shu, feeling even more settled, and then... he timely presented the most heavyweight piece of evidence. "Bureau Chief, perhaps you think that everything I've said is just empty talk, which is why you don't trust me. But... in fact, I have evidence." As he spoke, Qiu Tu took out the cloth bag that Ah-Tai had brought from within his coat. He stepped forward, placed the cloth bag on the mahogany desk, and then respectfully retreated to his original place. Jia Shu glanced at Yan Chen, and upon receiving an affirmative look, he walked to the desk, reached out to pick up the cloth bag, and opened it to take a look. At the first glance at the items inside, he was unconcerned, but at the second, his pupils contracted sharply, and with a bit of disbelief, he reached in and fiddled in the bag. After a moment, he quickly walked to Yan Chen's side and said in a low but rapid voice, "Bureau Chief, take a look." Upon hearing Jia Shu's words, Yan Chen looked up at the cloth bag. At that instant, Qiu Tu clearly saw Yan Chen's figure pause for a moment. The next second, Yan Chen looked at Qiu Tu with a grave expression and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what this is?" Qiu Tu first nodded, then shook his head, "I only know a little." "Miss Shuman only told me this thing could change my fate, could give me incredible power." Sёarch* The NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "But she didn't elaborate. She only said that as long as I continued to work for her, she would give me even more... " Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yan Chen took the cloth bag, tilted it towards the mahogany desk. "Clang~" "Clang~" The first things to fall out were several Silver Yuan, followed by a few Little Goldfish. It wasn't until the very end that a half-translucent, sea-blue stone, twinkling with faint light, fell onto the desk with a "clang." It was, unmistakably... Cataclysmic Material: Aurora Stone. Seeing this precious material obtained from Golden Finger fall onto the table, Qiu Tu felt no regret. On the contrary, he watched with composure as a flash of greed passed through Yan Chen's eyes and recalled that phrase once more: Greed is the most powerful weapon in the world... Yan Chen was about to fall for it... ---- The performance during the new book period is very important, so I kindly ask everyone to follow along every day, cast recommendation and Monthly Tickets, thank you everyone!
