Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 486 - 314: Qin Shuman and the "Retired Emperor" (10,000 words for Monthly Tickets!)
So, Qiu Tu clearly saw her face.
She was as pure as an angel, a girl with a delicate face, skin white as snow, glowing faintly with a rosy blush, as if it could squeeze out water.
Yet, even though she was such a beautiful girl, she caused Qiu Tu’s pupils to abruptly constrict!
’Larilo?!’
Surprise filled Qiu Tu’s heart.
’Isn’t she supposed to be by my side?’
’How could she be in Yan Chen’s office?’
However, almost immediately, Qiu Tu reacted in the next second: No, it wasn’t Larilo, it was... Yan Chen’s real daughter, Yan Yan!
Larilo had previously cloned Yan Yan’s body to steal Yan Chen’s power. Then she transferred her consciousness into it, lurking by Yan Chen’s side.
So, when Qiu Tu first came into contact with Larilo, she always appeared as Yan Yan, which made Qiu Tu equate the two.
Now, if one looks... Has Larilo’s danger been eliminated? So, Yan Chen called her own daughter to Xinjie City?
As this thought crossed his mind, Qiu Tu felt something was amiss.
Because... although Larilo’s danger is now gone, the crisis in Xinjie City is far from over.
Moreover, compared to when Larilo was vying for control of Xinjie City, the current Xinjie City is more like a powder keg, ready to ignite at the slightest touch, and hence much more dangerous!
At this time, Yan Chen bringing Yan Yan to Xinjie City seemed somewhat odd...
Although Qiu Tu thought a lot, in reality, only a few seconds had passed.
At this moment, he had just brushed past Yan Yan.
Compared to Larilo’s impersonation, the real Yan Yan was obviously livelier and bolder.
Perhaps she was attracted by Qiu Tu’s handsome appearance.
Just as she passed by Qiu Tu, she suddenly turned her head and said to him, "Stop!"
There weren’t many people in the office: Yan Chen, Zhao Ruiquan, and Qiu Tu.
So when she spoke, all three of them looked up and turned to look at her.
As Qiu Tu turned around, Yan Yan finally saw his face clearly.
At that moment, her eyes lit up slightly, and she excitedly pointed at Qiu Tu and said to Yan Chen, "Daddy! I want him!"
"I want him to be my tour guide, accompany me to play in Xinjie City!"
Qiu Tu: ??
Yan Chen, Zhao Ruiquan:...
Perhaps because his real daughter had arrived, Yan Chen finally pulled open the curtains in his room.
It made his wrinkled skin appear even drier, like an old man on the verge of death.
Hearing his daughter’s words, he leaned on the Bureau Chief’s throne, looking deeply at his daughter, his eyes filled with indescribable complexity.
Because he didn’t speak, the office quieted down for a moment.
It was Zhao Ruiquan who noticed the awkward atmosphere and hurriedly forced a smile at Qiu Tu, saying, "I’m sorry, Director. Miss Yan doesn’t recognize you."
Now a Head of the Political Department at the Investigation Bureau, one of the nine senior executives, Qiu Tu had the privilege of not wearing a uniform.
Moreover, he went to Eastern City to meet with Zhao Ji last night, wearing the uniform wasn’t convenient.
Therefore, he didn’t wear his uniform today, instead dressing in ordinary casual clothes.
This could indeed lead to misunderstandings by those unfamiliar with the current situation at the Investigation Bureau.
So, Qiu Tu didn’t mind.
Instead, he gave Yan Yan a slight smile and then turned to continue towards Yan Chen.
Yan Yan clearly wanted to say something else. But Zhao Ruiquan had quickly stepped in front of her, quietly explaining Qiu Tu’s identity while leading her away.
Not until they got to the office door had Zhao Ruiquan finally clarified Qiu Tu’s identity.
By that time, Yan Yan’s face was already full of surprise.
Looking shocked, she said, "Director Zhao... are you saying that the young man who went in just now is the Head of the Political Department at the Investigation Bureau? One of the nine high-ranking executives?"
"Second in power only to my dad and Uncle Lai? Even my dad is wary of him?"

Hearing Yan Yan’s words, Zhao Ruiquan quickly nodded his head, then said, "So, you realize how presumptuous your words were just now, right?"
Yan Yan, hearing this, turned back and looked at Qiu Tu’s retreating figure with sparkling eyes, then whispered softly, "Yes... a bit presumptuous."
"I shouldn’t have invited him like that."
Zhao Ruiquan: ??
To tell the truth, Zhao Ruiquan felt something odd about what Yan Yan said. But whether it was Yan Chen, Yan Yan, or Qiu Tu, they were all big shots he couldn’t afford to offend.
So he didn’t dare to respond, pretending as if he heard nothing....
...
Meanwhile.
In the office.
After Yan Yan and Zhao Ruiquan left, the office was left with only Qiu Tu and Yan Chen.
Qiu Tu took the initiative to salute Yan Chen and then greeted, "Bureau Chief!"
Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Yan Chen leaned in his chair, looking expressionlessly at the young man in front of him, the one he once had high hopes for.
After a moment, he nodded slightly and said "Hmm" from his nose.
Then he took the initiative to speak, "I hear you have something to report to me?"
Qiu Tu nodded and handed over the documents he was holding to Yan Chen.
Yan Chen took the documents and read through them rapidly, a flicker of surprise passed briefly in his cloudy eyes.
Clearly, the United Front’s large-scale operation had caught even him off guard.
His gaze turned serious as he looked at Qiu Tu and asked, "Is this intelligence reliable?"
Qiu Tu nodded earnestly, replying, "Yes, Bureau Chief, it’s very reliable."
"Because in addition to the intelligence from the Espionage Division, other channels have also reported similar information."
