Although they were not as blindly loyal as the former, but... after having witnessed Qiu Tu's capability to manipulate political situations and wield power within the Political Department, they were more inclined to trust Qiu Tu even if they harbored a hint of doubt.Only Ah-Tai... well, he was just plain naive. If it weren't for the sake of earning him some merit, and the fact that he was now sticking to Fang Ming like glue — to the point where Fang Ming couldn't shake him off while working — Qiu Tu would not have wanted to bring him along today. So, after Qiu Tu had assigned their tasks, he split the seven people into several teams and gathered the personnel in preparation to set off. In order to keep the entire plan confidential, Qiu Tu did not even allow them to summon personnel using official commands but instead used team building and social events as cover. Qiu Tu and Qin Shuman had thoroughly calculated the manpower required for the entire capture plan the night before. The combination of the investigation team and Fang Ming's squad, consisting of over thirty agents, was more than sufficient. After all, most of those caught by the Political Department were merely ordinary businessmen. If they approached with weapons and arrest warrants, the targets wouldn't oppose the entire Sanctuary system unless they wished to resist; otherwise, they could only comply meekly. The reason for assembling Fang Ming's squad was merely to guard against the private armed forces of powerful and influential families like the Qin Family… After arranging everything and watching these confidants scatter in all directions, Qiu Tu drove off towards Emerald Fort while humming a tune. To deceive the enemy, Qiu Tu would spend the entire day today within Emerald Fort. He could only begrudgingly watch horse races, sing, play sports, rub shoulders with the elite and famous socialites — indulging in extravagance without a moment's rest.... Every time he thought about the hardships of today, Qiu Tu felt unspeakably sad — so much so that the corners of his mouth curled up. ... Emerald Fort, also known as the old Xinjie military camp. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was originally built by Major General Ye while stationed in Xinjie City as a defense against attacks from the Anti-government Armed Forces. The fort encompassed an area of 0.08 square kilometers. After the establishment of Xinjie City, when the military moved to a new camp, the old grounds were sold to several big businessmen of the Sanctuary. After more than a year of renovation and rebuilding by those businessmen, it had become the largest den of iniquity around Xinjie City and the most fervently sought after social hub for the higher echelons from surrounding cities. The place hosted all sorts of legal and above-board entertainment facilities such as a racetrack, an octagon cage, a nightclub, and a casino. Qiu Tu had often heard about this famous place but had never been there. Today was his first visit. As he drove up to the outskirts of Emerald Fort, Qiu Tu didn't encounter any inspections — in a Planning Area, a private car in itself was proof of identity. Following the smooth roads around the fort, guided by signs by the roadside, Qiu Tu drove straight into the parking lot of the fort. Private cars, scarcely seen on the roads of the Planning Area, filled more than half of the parking lot here. The sight was truly staggering. After parking and turning off the ignition, Qiu Tu stepped out of the car only to hear an enthusiastic greeting, "Chief Qiu! Over here! Chief Qiu!" Hearing the call, Qiu Tu looked up and saw Chief Huang from Logistics and Equipment walking towards him. His face was sporting an even warmer smile than a few days ago. Coming up to Qiu Tu, he gave a hearty pat on Qiu Tu's arm and joked, "I was beginning to think you wouldn't make it today." Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu asked curiously, "Why would you say that, Brother Huang? Why would I possibly stand you up when we had an arrangement?" Chief Huang squinted with a smile, "Are you still hiding things from me, Younger Brother Qiu?" He said in a lower voice, "The news that the Bureau Chief signed your 'Authorization Letter' and 'Special Arrest Warrant' has almost spread throughout the bureau~~" "Who knew if you might be apprehending people this weekend...." As soon as Qiu Tu heard this, he understood immediately why Chief Huang was so enthusiastic today. So, it was because he knew that Qiu Tu had the "Imperial Sword" in hand. Thinking so, Qiu Tu also replied smilingly, "You're joking, Brother. Work is work, relaxation is relaxation." "Today is the weekend, how could I possibly be busy with work!" Upon hearing Qiu Tu's response, Chief Huang immediately let out a hearty laugh. He patted Qiu Tu and said jokingly, "I've long heard from Old Zheng that you hate overtime and always leave on time every day!" "Now seeing you, it seems it's indeed the case!" Seeing Qiu Tu was also laughing, Chief Huang changed his tone and said with a chuckle, "But you're right. Work is work, relaxation is relaxation!" "Come on! Let me introduce you to a few friends!" As Qiu Tu was there today to blindside the enemy and gather information, he immediately followed up on Chief Huang's offer, "You can't just introduce me to a few friends, Brother. You said today you'd show me the world." Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Chief Huang immediately made an "I understand" expression, "Don't worry, today I'll definitely broaden your horizons." Qiu Tu's smile grew wider. As the most well-known and central attraction of Emerald Fort, the first place Chief Huang took Qiu Tu was the racetrack. The racecourse was built at the heart of the Emerald Fort, or rather, all other facilities were constructed around the racecourse. Because the guests were all either rich or noble, this racecourse wasn't an open-air venue like the ones Qiu Tu remembered from his previous life, but instead, consisted of layer upon layer of enclosed observation decks. The observation decks protruded into the racecourse, with one side being the entrance, and the other three sides were 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, making it exceptionally spectacular and grand. Upon reaching the fourth-floor observation deck, Chief Huang naturally introduced Qiu Tu to the setup, "The whole racecourse has three levels of observation decks, located on the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors respectively." "The fourth floor, like here, is where staff members like us, deputy staff, lieutenants, captains, and wealthy businessmen watch the horse races." "The fifth floor is where the directors, deputy directors, major, lieutenant colonels, and some big businessmen from the Sanctuary visit." "As for the topmost... the sixth floor, it's where those big shots standing at the top of various cities are located." "Like the commissioners from City Hall, the Deputy Directors from the Investigation Bureau, and the colonels from the military. Even... those three highest-ranking officials, they all take their seats on the sixth floor." Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this, indicating that he understood. After introducing the entire situation of the observation decks, Chief Huang led Qiu Tu to the refreshments area to each get a cup of wine, then they quietly sipped and whispered introductions to a few people on the fourth floor who were watching the horse races. "That tall, large young man is a captain from the military, surnamed Zhang, currently commanding a battalion." "He is a local from Xinjie. When General Ye was stationed in Xinjie, he was one of the first to side with him and helped General Ye eradicate the entire underground forces of Xinjie City." "Therefore, when Xinjie City was established, and General Ye reorganized the military, he was also recruited and given key training." "However... he's a bit of a gambler, often losing his entire salary." At this point, Chief Huang added in a quiet voice, "So, if he asks you to lend him money, never agree to it." Qiu Tu looked deeply at the Captain Zhang mentioned, nodding slightly. Seeing this, Chief Huang then pointed to a young woman on the left, "That one is Section Chief Bai from the Household Registration Division of the Civil Affairs Bureau at City Hall." "Her father is a commissioner at City Hall, and her husband is a major businessman in Xinjie, mainly in charge of intercity transportation." "But I heard it's been rough recently, with a lot of family wealth lost, which has also weakened her position at City Hall." Qiu Tu paused on the young woman for a moment, thinking that her looks were above average, but she had a unique charm. Next, Chief Huang briefly introduced Qiu Tu to a few other guests on the fourth floor. They were all middle-level officials with the rank of staff member or deputy staff member. Some were from Xinjie City, and some from neighboring cities. At their level, they could be hugely influential within their departments, but here, they were as common as cabbages... In the meantime, several people took the elevator past the fourth floor, heading to either the fifth or the sixth floor. Astonishingly, there were quite a few acquaintances among them, including the head of the Qin Family, Commissioner Qin Heng, Vice Minister Wen from the Special Service Department, and Director Wang from the Public Security Bureau... Even during this time, Qiu Tu spotted Old Bai, Jia Shu, and Tang Feifei dressed in plain clothes. When Old Bai realized that Qiu Tu had also come to the Emerald Fort, he was slightly surprised, but the next second he immersed himself back into his character: he coldly ignored Qiu Tu, but just as the elevator doors were about to close, he winked at Qiu Tu. As for Jia Shu and Tang Feifei... Upon seeing Qiu Tu, Jia Shu's face first revealed a hint of surprise, then he quickly resumed his mocking smile, as if pondering over some amusing matter... And although Tang Feifei remained stoic from beginning to end, the flickering amber glow returning to her eyes indicated that Qiu Tu had once again become the focus of her attention... 'This world is really small...' Qiu Tu silently reflected to himself, and then Chief Huang dragged him off to meet some friends. According to him, there were quite a few people who wanted to meet Qiu Tu today, to get acquainted with the newly risen star at the Investigation Bureau! ... Meanwhile. While Qiu Tu was enjoying life... ah, no, while he was distracting the enemy. Ah-Tai, Eagle, and several teams were also fully assembled and began to carry out their plan... Since Ah-Tai and Eagle didn't have arrest authority, the team leader for this operation was Chen Feng. The target of the arrest was the most important suspect, the major businessman entangled with the Qin Family: Qian Dafu. Arriving near Qian Dafu's residence, the group began implementing their control plan according to the strategy. ----- The last chapter was blocked... just unblocked.
