The first goal was to tell Larilo that, actually... there might be more to this than meets the eye. That she might be a "loyal minister".
Having planted this impression in Larilo's heart, many of her future plans would be easier to execute.
The second goal was... to pique Larilo's curiosity. Indeed, the recent events had a "hidden truth", but what that was, he wouldn't tell her.
It was all about baiting Larilo...
About her biggest secret downfall, Qiu Tu didn't believe he couldn't hook Larilo with it.
When it came to grasping the hearts of women, Qiu Tu was getting more and more adept.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu, who had perfectly completed his mission, also left the kitchen with a pretense of melancholy afterward.
He left behind an even more melancholic Larilo, and... Fang Tangtang.
Possibly troubled by Qiu Tu's story about his "ex-girlfriend", the little cook Fang Tangtang stood there with her head lowered, almost not wanting to cook anymore...
She glanced at Qiu Tu several times, wanting to talk more with him, but she lacked the courage to do so.
And thinking of how Qiu Tu still hadn't had his dinner, in the end, she could only suppress her discomfort and silently started cooking for him again...
...
Meanwhile, Qiu Tu had stepped back into the living room.
There, Tan Huimin, having finished reading all the documents and testimonies, was completely devastated.
Her usually gentle and dignified makeup and hair were now a mess, as if she had just been ravished by Qiu Tu.
Her eyes were vacant, unfocused as she stared at the wall in front of her, her luscious lips parted, her body trembling uncontrollably.
But when she heard Qiu Tu's footsteps, she snapped back to reality as if she had found an outlet for her anger, and with bloodshot eyes, she screamed at Qiu Tu, "Impossible! This is false! All of it is fake!"
"You fraud! Scum!"
"Smack." Qiu Tu took out his gun and slammed it coldly on the table.
Tan Huimin's voice stopped abruptly.
Facing the beautiful young lady in front of him, Qiu Tu didn't need to be as careful as he was with Larilo.
So when it's time to be tough, he's tough.
"Who allowed you to go crazy? Who do you think you are talking to?" Qiu Tu said coldly, looking at Tan Huimin.
Tan Huimin took a deep breath but still didn't have the courage to continue her outburst.
After all, Qiu Tu was now one of the forty most powerful people in Xinjie City.
Just like Yan Chen and Jia Shu before him, he could kill a Second-Class Investigator and wouldn't even need to write a report.
If he killed her, she would just be dead...
Facing life and death, even the maddest woman would calm down. They went mad only because men tolerated them.
And now, seeing Tan Huimin had calmed down,
Qiu Tu snorted coldly.
He wasn't the type to abandon allies once they had outlived their usefulness, he had already planned a "compensation" after using Tan Huimin tonight.
So he said, "Leave the villa now. Go outside to the courtyard. The Security Department's personnel will take you to see your husband."
"Whether it's true or false, just ask him directly." Qiu Tu finished speaking, signaled briefly, then turned and left the living room without any reluctance.
He was very busy tonight!
Apart from deceiving Larilo and revealing the truth to Tan Huimin, he still had to lay the groundwork for his path to "Head of the Political Department"!
In recent times, Qiu Tu was no longer a political novice.
He knew full well that the "Boundless Heart Sea Development Plan" was just a stepping stone, an opportunity.
But it was not the determining factor for victory.
After all, he was only a co-initiator of the plan, not the main person in charge.
People like that could be replaced at any time.
Therefore, he also had to forge relationships with the higher-ups of the Sanctuary!
