Let them offer their loyalty!

Hearing Jia Shu's somewhat manic and inexplicable words, the three white-clad men from the Disciplinary Department didn't say anything; they just looked at him with a cold indifference.

Meanwhile, "tap tap tap..." a series of footsteps approached from a distance.

Shortly after, Tang Feifei, dressed neatly and looking relaxed, emerged from the darkness.

In her hand, she was dragging a Masked Man in Suit, lifeless as a dead dog.

Compared to her nonchalant demeanor, the Suit Man's condition was clearly much worse—not only were his clothes in tatters, his body was covered with bruises, not a single spot on his skin was intact, and his head was so swollen it resembled a pig's head; he had long since passed out.

When they reached the villa's entrance, Tang Feifei tossed the Masked Man in Suit next to Jia Shu as if throwing away trash.

With a muffled "thud," the Masked Man in Suit landed beside Jia Shu like a piece of ragged cloth.

During the collision, his mask fell off, revealing a delicate face that somewhat resembled Jia Shu's, yet it was not quite the same.

At this sight, Jia Shu, tied up on the ground, showed little surprise.

Having already figured out all of Qiu Tu's arrangements, he could still afford to smile amidst the situation. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Tang Feifei, filled with coldness and madness.

"Director Tang, I didn't expect you and Qiu Tu to have joined forces so early,"

"No wonder, at the last high-level meeting, your behavior was so out of character. Everyone thought you were suppressing Qiu Tu, but in fact... you were deliberately laying the groundwork for Qiu Tu's promotion, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the people from the Disciplinary Department were also invited by the two of you, right?"

The Disciplinary Department, directly subordinate to the Supreme Sanctuary Council, is a special agency tasked with overseeing crime among the upper echelons within the Planning Area. Although not the highest in rank, their power is immense, and their strength formidable.

Previously, Tang Feifei and Qiu Tu had been discussing using the excuse of Jia Shu's dereliction of duty and silencing key suspects to apply to the Sanctuary for an investigation, hoping to involve this department.

Hearing Jia Shu's interrogation, Tang Feifei gave him a cold glance, having no interest in speaking with a loser.

She only looked at the three white-clad men from the Disciplinary Department and then said, "I trust you have recorded the entire process tonight."

"I'll leave Jia Shu to you. I am going to continue cleaning up the mess now."

She pointed at the gunshots coming from the darkness not far away and said, "Those guys are a bit troublesome; the others probably can't handle them."

The leading white-clad man "hmm-ed" in affirmation, signaling, "Director Tang, please proceed. No one can escape from our grasp."

Seeing this, Tang Feifei no longer lingered and with a sudden surge, she burst into the darkness, swooping toward the source of the distant gunfire!

...

Meanwhile, at the same time.

Investigation Bureau building, ninth floor, Tang Feifei's office lounge.

Qiu Tu, dressed in a bathrobe and washed clean, was squatting on the ground, gazing somberly at the "head" that had rolled to his feet.

The head looked exactly like Qiu Tu, indistinguishable in any way, as if it were truly Qiu Tu's own head: even... the severed neck was still spurting blood with a "zzz" sound.

Picking up the "head" that was his own, Qiu Tu placed it next to the headless body, then proceeded with the plan by using his Cataclysmic ability, "Order Space."

"As long as my spiritual power doesn't run out, 'Uncompromising Simulacrum' has self-healing abilities and will repair at the fastest rate!"

As Qiu Tu set the rules for his ability, a bunch of disgusting flesh sprouts immediately grew on the severed neck in front of him, then reconnected with the headless body....

While the "Uncompromising Simulacrum" was repairing, Qiu Tu also squatted down, quietly recounting his entire plan for the night....

Actually, as soon as Qiu Tu heard the terms "boss" and "Old Qi" in Wang Xi's memories, but did not see anyone else, he had already guessed that Suit Man or Jia Shu likely had the ability to create duplicates or split themselves.

Therefore, he knew that even if he were attacked by Jia Shu tonight, Jia Shu would probably be fully prepared, with a solid alibi in place.

His only concern was: would Jia Shu's "True Body" be the one providing the alibi, while remotely controlling other "duplicates" or people to attack him?

So, Qiu Tu purposefully wrote a promotion application today and met with Jia Shu to confirm the authenticity of Jia Shu himself.

The results greatly relieved Qiu Tu: the "Jia Shu" in the office, although he looked, spoke, and wrote exactly like Jia Shu, some details still made Qiu Tu feel something was off.

This meant that in tonight's attack, Jia Shu probably wasn't sitting back safely fishing at the bureau and commanding from a distance; instead, to ensure no mistakes, he personally entered the fray.

This outcome allowed Qiu Tu to be completely at ease.

Now there were only two issues left.

1. How many duplicates did Jia Shu, the Suit Man, have? How could they exhaust all of Jia Shu, the Suit Man's duplicates, and draw out Jia Shu himself to fall into the trap?

2. How could Qiu Tu protect his own life when Jia Shu's cards were all on the table?

The answer to the former was already evident. To exhaust those duplicates one after another, Qiu Tu truly utilized all the connections and arrangements he had accumulated over time, leaving nothing to spare.

Yan Chen's arrangement of Special Duties Department Director Lin Ting, the action team from the Security Department's Investigation Department, Commissioner Jiang's secret forces, Tang Feifei, and the Supervisors that Tang Feifei invited from the Sanctuary....
