Meanwhile, news of Qiu Tu's second assassination attempt also began to spread rapidly among the scouts of various factions, who were paying attention to the forces orchestrating the attack tonight.Upon learning that another Masked Man in Suit had appeared, and still exhibiting the strength of a Second-Order Cataclysmic, all forces sensed something eerie about the matter. Second-Order Cataclysmics were no common occurrence, so how could so many suddenly emerge? And why were they all dressed alike? 'Is it some kind of Cataclysmic ability? Cataclysmic treasures? Or a special gift bestowed by an Evil God?' Xinjie City Investigation Bureau. Ninth floor, office of the Director of the Administrative Office. Secretary Bai stood by the window, holding a cup of hot tea, warming his hands while staring at the dark sky outside, pondering... 'Was the person who attacked Qiu Tu tonight really Jia Shu?' 'What exactly does he want to do, giving up such a high status and position...?' As Yan Chen's chief secretary, all information from the scouts was first collated by him before he would filter it and notify Ji Chen and Yan Chen. Therefore, he was almost fully focused on the assassination tonight. It was only because his own strength was insufficient that he didn't go down to help Qiu Tu through this calamity… ... The property manager clearly had no experience with cars and didn't know how to drive. In the sparsely populated villa area with few vehicles and pedestrians, driving wasn't too difficult—provided one was willing to endure some bumps and scrapes. So, the increasingly battered car, after hitting who knows how many trees and walls, finally came to a wobbly stop in front of the third villa! This time, Qiu Tu hadn't even had the chance to inspect the villa. He had just gotten out of the car when a rather burly Masked Man in Suit appeared at close range and "bang, bang, bang" fired three shots at Qiu Tu! Luckily, Qiu Tu had just taken the 'Iron Will Potion' while in the car, which brought his attention and reactivity to their limits. So upon sensing something wrong, he did a donkey roll and scrambled to take cover behind the car. Seeing that he hadn't achieved his goal, the burly Masked Man in Suit clearly didn't plan to give up. He kept advancing on Qiu Tu while continuing to shoot relentlessly! Qiu Tu, while returning fire, shouted, "Secretary Tao! I think you've enjoyed the show enough for tonight! Lend me a hand!" Far away. Commissioner Jiang's voluptuous chief secretary, Tao Yaoyao—dressed in a black silk miniskirt business suit and high heels, her legs long and refined—stood on the rooftop of a villa. She held binoculars, watching the location where Qiu Tu was being attacked, while listening to reports from subordinates through the Communicator. After hearing about Qiu Tu's shameless cry for help from her subordinate, Tao Yaoyao fell silent for two seconds before finally issuing an order. "Go save him." "But... just hold the attackers off. Be careful of your safety." A man's voice came through the earpiece, "Yes!" Following Tao Yaoyao's command, a squad of soldiers armed with rifles and dressed in camouflage burst out of the concealing foliage and began firing intensively at the Suit Man who had attacked Qiu Tu! It was evident that this Suit Man was also a Second-Order Cataclysmic; Qiu Tu's handgun had done little to harm him. But with the onslaught of rifles, the Suit Man didn't dare to be reckless and quickly dodged for cover! Seizing the opportunity, Qiu Tu once again fled in the car. This time, Qiu Tu even left behind the property manager and the locksmith—since the Suit Man had already made it clear that he wouldn't allow villa inspections, there was no need to bring the two along. With the secret forces from the City Hall now suppressing the area, it was certainly much safer than the journey ahead for Qiu Tu. With that thought, Qiu Tu glanced at the Crisis Countdown in the upper left corner of his vision. Unconsciously, during his continued escape, an hour and a half had already passed. Now, only two hours remained until Jia Shu's deadline for the attack. And Qiu Tu had only two cards left in his hand... With that in mind, Qiu Tu, sticking to the plan, drove to the fourth villa. This time, the fifth Suit Man didn't even bother to hide for an ambush but stood at the villa's entrance, masked, silently waiting for Qiu Tu's arrival. When he saw Qiu Tu stop the car, he smiled politely and asked in a gentle voice, "You've called upon people from the Investigation Bureau, the military, and the City Hall, the three major powers." "Who do you plan to call for help this time?" The events of the night were almost laid bare at this point. The Suit Man had guessed what Qiu Tu was planning, the entirety of Qiu Tu's agenda. And Qiu Tu had guessed the true identity and Cataclysmic ability of the Suit Man. What remained was to see who held more cards... So Qiu Tu said with a smile, "You know, I really do have one last rescuer left." As he spoke, Qiu Tu put his hand to his mouth and whistled sharply, then shouted loudly, "Bureau Chief, save me!" Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Suit Man's body tensed sharply, his eyes narrowing slightly, evidently thinking Yan Chen had arrived. But as Tang Feifei slowly emerged from the darkness, the Suit Man felt... it might have been better to face Yan Chen instead. This fierce female leopard's combat strength was among the best in all of Xinjie City... "Sister Tang, I'm leaving the rest to you. Thanks!" Discover hidden tales at empire After saying this, Qiu Tu slammed the steering wheel and floored the gas pedal, racing off into the darkness of the villa district. The reason Tang Feifei was the last one he wanted to reveal was because she was Qiu Tu's most important hidden card—after all, she was his most crucial secret ally. If it weren't for being driven into a corner, maybe he would never have played this trump card. Of course, Qiu Tu was not the sentimental type, now that life and death were at stake, a trump card needed to be played when necessary! Besides, having played all his cards, the opponent probably had nothing left up their sleeve either! Thinking this way, as he continued to drive, Qiu Tu also made a quick tally of the opponent's remaining cards. The Suit Man was the boss, Wang Xi was Old Qi. Assuming the other five people remaining were all doppelgangers, then... they had all shown their hands now. So... if they still wanted to kill him tonight, there was only one possibility left... With this thought, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look towards the dark road ahead... 'So... Director, it's time for you to make a choice. To back down, or to... advance.' Meanwhile. Within the shadow of the car driven by Qiu Tu, a pair of crimson eyes slowly opened. There was no hesitation in those eyes, no wandering, only madness, only an overflowing desire... ... At the same time. A black sedan slowly drove into Yan Chen's Garden Villa in Xinjie City, smoothly arriving at the villa's entrance. Once the car stopped, the Director of the Political Department, Jia Shu, got out. Ji Chen, who had already been waiting at the villa's entrance, hurriedly stepped forward to meet him. He bowed slightly and said, "Director, the Bureau Chief is waiting for you in the study." Hearing his words, Jia Shu straightened his clothes, a smile that wasn't quite a smile appearing on his face, "Good. I also wanted to have a chat with the Bureau Chief." He nonchalantly swept a glance at the villa entrance, his gaze lingering for a moment on one of the maids with attractive features, before following Ji Chen toward the study... ..... The five villas, although all located on the outskirts of the Longshan Road villa complex, were worlds apart in distance. Therefore, this time, Qiu Tu drove for a good fifteen minutes before arriving at the fifth villa. When he reached the entrance of the fifth villa, Qiu Tu stopped the car, turned off the ignition, and got out. Leaning against a beaten-up sedan that was nearly beyond repair, Qiu Tu glanced at the countdown timer. There was only 1 hour and 20 minutes left until this crisis would be over. Qiu Tu was not in a hurry; he just lit a cigarette, quietly smoked it, and patiently waited... Time slowly passed, one minute, two minutes, three minutes..... After finishing the cigarette, Qiu Tu threw the butt to the ground, stamped it out, then turned around to get back in the car and continue waiting. However, just as he opened the car door and was about to step in! Suddenly, the shadows on the ground twisted crazily as if they had come to life. The next second, a black figure silently surged up from the shadows on the ground! One slash! Just one slash! Qiu Tu's head was completely severed from his body! Qiu Tu's eyes clearly still held shock and disbelief, as if he couldn't understand what had happened! The next second, with two dull thuds, his head and body toppled to the muddy road.... Seeing this scene, the shadow revealed a smirk, then stepped through the shadows, drawing closer to Qiu Tu, with his silhouette slowly rising, as if he was coming out of the darkness. But just as he reached Qiu Tu's head, Qiu Tu's still-bleeding head suddenly cracked a sinister smile, "Director. You lost this game." Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the shadow with crimson eyes suddenly widened, jerking his head down and then saw that Qiu Tu, who was supposed to be beheaded, mysteriously vanished into thin air with a flicker! The next second, several middle-aged men in white uniforms slowly walked out from the villa. They looked at Jia Shu with disappointment and said solemnly, "Jia Shu, you are under arrest." With a wave of the leading man's hand, a white cage fell from the sky and encased the attempting-to-escape Jia Shu! Even the normally stoic Jia Shu couldn't quite control his expression at that moment! Searᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As he was being restrained and falling to the ground, he shouted incredulously, "The Disciplinary Department! Why are you here!" "Why are you here!" "Impossible, this can't be possible!" The next second, possibly having guessed Qiu Tu's entire plan and all his cards, Jia Shu's figure jolted and his expression froze. Shortly after, he began to laugh maniacally, "Hahaha, hehehe. So that's how it is, that's how it is..." ------- Chapter three, ten thousand words, ha. The third chapter should be updated around 20:00. Asking for Monthly Tickets and subscriptions!
