Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 344 - 264: Scheme within a Scheme, Play within a Play (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)_3

And colluding with the Evil God is a capital offense. Therefore, there’s simply no way to overturn Zheng Tao’s case.

As long as Qiu Tu does not let Zheng Tao go, no matter how hard Tan Huimin tries, she won’t be able to overturn it, even if she tried ten thousand times.

Furthermore, it’s highly probable that Zheng Tao’s loyalty to Larilo is related to Tan Huimin, and a huge secret lies hidden between the two of them.

So, it’s even less likely that Zheng Tao would reveal anything about the Evil God to Tan Huimin.

That’s why Qiu Tu would allow Tan Huimin to continue her efforts: only by being repeatedly rejected by Zheng Tao will she truly lose heart and despair.

Of course, Qiu Tu isn’t just trying to torment this beautiful young woman. He had another reason for letting Tan Huimin interrogate Zheng Tao—to leak information.

Last night, during the communications between Qiu Tu and Larilo, several important clues were obtained.

First, Larilo is still able to protect herself and won’t be Devoured by Yan Chen just yet.

Second, Larilo’s means of contacting the outside has not been severed by Yan Chen.

Third, and most importantly, it’s highly likely that Larilo’s key followers are either dead or captured.

That’s why she took the risk to brainwash herself, attempting to send a message to the Great Evil God, Zhao Ji, for help.

Larilo also revealed to Qiu Tu that she can possess her followers and see and hear what they do. (Chapter 257)

So... Qiu Tu boldly speculated that currently, she must be possessing either Zheng Tao or Secretary Bai to gather information.

If her means of gathering information through possession was a deception to trick Qiu Tu, then aside from ancient coins, her only other method of gathering and relaying information would probably be "Enter Dream."

And given that Secretary Bai has already defected, the only person Larilo could "Enter Dream" to gather information from is none other than Zheng Tao.

In the division-of-labor plan between Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei,

Tang Feifei was responsible for infiltrating the Investigation Bureau, while Qiu Tu was to stall Yan Chen and disrupt the Deputy Speaker’s schemes.

The first step in Qiu Tu’s plan was to contact Liu Xiongyuan and cooperate with him.

The second step was to communicate with Larilo to understand her trump cards as well as her and Yan Chen’s current situation.

The third step was then to give Larilo hope, to make her hold on desperately; then to strike Yan Chen, shaking his convictions.

What could distract Yan Chen more easily than the fact that Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei were working with The Five Elders to eat away at his power base?

What could make Larilo feel more at ease than Qiu Tu striving to fulfill his promise to her?

So, Qiu Tu planned to pass on all of these true and false pieces of information through Tan Huimin, then through the mouth of Zheng Tao, to the two people engaged in Devouring and being Devoured, affecting their minds and spirits.

Qiu Tu felt that with a bit of luck, he might be able to cause both of his enemies to suffer losses.

Moreover, there was an important point: once Yan Chen reemerges, upon learning that it was Zheng Tao who transmitted information for Larilo, given his vengeful nature, would he let Zheng Tao go?

He’d surely execute Zheng Tao at the first opportunity, wouldn’t he?

Then, at that time... wouldn’t Qiu Tu just need to keep playing the good guy in front of Tan Huimin, comforting her properly?

This is what’s called killing someone with a borrowed knife, hitting several birds with one stone.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu hummed a tune, ready to meet Secretary Bai and chat with her about the things he had "done" for Larilo to calm her mind.

Incidentally, he could also probe for information on Yan Chen and Larilo from Secretary Bai to see if there was anything else he could use.

At this moment, just as Qiu Tu took steps towards the Political Department’s Guard Room, about to meet Secretary Bai,

suddenly, his Communicator started ringing "ring ring ring."

Qiu Tu stopped in his tracks, picked it up, and saw that it was from Cao Dabiao.

Confused, Qiu Tu answered the Communicator, and Cao Dabiao’s excited voice came through.

"Minister! Thank you! Thank you for your recommendation! I’ve been promoted again!"

Hearing Cao Dabiao’s words, Qiu Tu was surprised and glanced at the time.

It had only been a little over an hour since he left Tang Feifei’s office.

And the promotion list had already been approved?

Qiu Tu felt that something wasn’t quite right....
