Let them offer their loyalty!

All forces that were monitoring tonight's operation were almost entirely dragged down by Qiu Tu!

And they did not "disappoint" Qiu Tu's expectations, as they indeed succeeded in holding back Jia Shu and Suit Man's four avatars!

This forced Jia Shu to take action himself, thus ultimately falling into Qiu Tu's trap!

As for the latter....

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at the "Uncompromising Simulacrum" that had already been repaired.

Then he reached out his hand and beckoned.

The next second, the "Uncompromising Simulacrum" "wah wah wah" vomited a lot of blood and then rapidly shrank in size.

In no time, the 1.8-meter-tall "Qiu Tu" had turned into a thumb-sized, stiff-bodied, faceless, featureless little figure.

This was one of the two Cataclysmic treasures Qiu Tu had won in the "Salvage Game" two days ago.

Its function was that as long as it absorbed enough blood, it could become a second body for the user.

The user's spirit and soul could enter this body and control the simulacrum as if it was another body, with the simulacrum able to execute the user's every command with "uncompromising" precision.

A somewhat ordinary, clone-type Cataclysmic treasure. Moreover, it came with a significant cost—not only did it need to be fed blood every two days, but it also required an extravagant amount of blood.

Even for a Cataclysmic like Qiu Tu, activating this simulacrum had nearly drained him dry; otherwise, his complexion wouldn't still be so pale…

However, it was precisely because of this Cataclysmic treasure that Qiu Tu was able to successfully perform such a grand act tonight—

After saying goodbye to Liu Fuping, he went to the bathroom.

In the restroom, Qiu Tu cut his arm with a small knife and activated the "Uncompromising Simulacrum" with a large amount of blood.

Then in the restroom, he took off his uniform and handed it over to the "Uncompromising Simulacrum."

The simulacrum replaced him in leaving the restroom and began the evening's performance.

Meanwhile, he himself put on the spare clothes he had prepared earlier, and while no one was looking, he slipped away quietly to hide in Tang Feifei's resting room for remote operation.

To make the play convincing enough to successfully lure out Jia Shu, and to prevent any leaks, Qiu Tu told no one about this plan except for Tang Feifei.

Moreover, he played his role to the hilt, leaving the expensive "Trigger Paper Figure" Tang Feifei had given him on the "Uncompromising Simulacrum"! He countered Jia Shu's first attack and successfully deceived everyone!

Late, before the second attack, Qiu Tu drank an "Iron Will Potion," which made his spirit more tenacious, his focus sharper, and his reactivity quicker, thus avoiding the second Suit Man's attack!

After that came Tang Feifei's proactive entrance, protecting the third attack that Qiu Tu faced!

By then, the "Uncompromising Simulacrum" had still not been exposed. And in the end, it lured out Jia Shu's true body, who came to personally assassinate Qiu Tu!

At that moment, because of the fading effect of the "Iron Will Potion" and Jia Shu's overwhelming strength, Qiu Tu was no longer able to keep up with the reaction time, and the simulacrum could only be decapitated with a single slash!

However, by then, the "Uncompromising Simulacrum" had thoroughly fulfilled its mission!

After revealing himself, Jia Shu completely fell into Qiu Tu's trap and was captured by the Disciplinary Department. His painstakingly constructed alibi also became ineffective....

The whole plan was tightly linked, and Qiu Tu had to lay out all his cards and rely on the tugging of various forces, accumulated Cataclysmic treasures, and precious information asymmetry, to painstakingly win this round against Jia Shu!

However, the "Uncompromising Simulacrum" was the core of this plan, but was not irreplaceable. A "Seal of Ownership" could have been used to achieve a similar effect.

After all, once Qiu Tu visited the first and second villas, he had essentially shown his hand to Jia Shu that his next move would inevitably be the remaining three villas.

Therefore, it was highly likely that Jia Shu's true body would be hiding near the fourth or fifth villa, ready for a final struggle.

At that time, all Qiu Tu needed to do was to drive to the fifth villa. He wouldn't need to suffer Jia Shu's assassination and could directly use the "Seal of Ownership" to be summoned away by Qin Shuman.

However, in doing so, since Jia Shu hadn't attacked Qiu Tu, it couldn't be considered catching the thief red-handed. There would still be some room for argument—for example, he could claim that he had been following Qiu Tu all along to protect him.

So, in the end, for safety and a fail-safe plan, Qiu Tu still chose to use the costly "Uncompromising Simulacrum."

And with the "Seal of Ownership" saved by this, he used it on the "Uncompromising Simulacrum."

So, when the "Uncompromising Simulacrum" was killed by Jia Shu in one strike, Qiu Tu immediately used the "Seal of Ownership" to retrieve it.

And with the "Order Space" he had intentionally saved for today, he had it repaired at once.

After all, although this Cataclysmic treasure came at a high price, it could still play a very crucial role at certain key moments!

Qiu Tu went over the string of plans he had set for himself tonight once more and took a deep breath. He felt incredibly tired...

This fatigue was not merely physical but also mental.

Having been mentally strained all night, now that he suddenly relaxed, he was overwhelmed with exhaustion....

With this in mind, Qiu Tu dismissed the "Uncompromising Simulacrum" and then deactivated his Cataclysmic ability.

As the Cataclysmic ability was lifted, waves of pain that felt as if his brain was being drained hit him once again.

Qiu Tu wasn't flustered in the slightest and took out the "Nightmare Crystal Vial" he had prepared earlier, opened it, and drank it all.

As the liquid that restored spiritual power slid down his throat, Qiu Tu quickly replenished his energy, and the tightness of his spirit throughout the night eased a bit.....

Sitting quietly on the ground for a while, Qiu Tu slowly got up.

Wearing slippers, he walked to the window of Tang Feifei's resting room and looked out at Xinjie City's still darkened sky, his gaze profound.

Although he had successfully lured Jia Shu into a trap with a series of tightly interlocked strategies,

and with the Diciplinary Department personally taking action to arrest him, Jia Shu had almost no chance of turning the tables.

But.... one should know that the key to tonight's event was not only Jia Shu.

There was also... that Heretic Goddess Girl lurking behind all the conspiracies.

What exactly was Jia Shu's relationship with that Heretic Goddess Girl?

What was his relationship with those Suit Men?

Why was he so interested in me?

The death of the original host, my transmigration, did they have any relation to Jia Shu, and that Heretic Goddess Girl?

Too many mysteries were waiting for Qiu Tu to unravel.

Moreover, as one of the nine senior officials of the Investigation Bureau, the highest head of the Political Department, what kind of massive impact would Jia Shu's arrest have on the Investigation Bureau, the military, the City Hall, and the entire Xinjie City?

Qiu Tu felt as if he had just cast a huge stone into a placid lake!

Billows had formed and were about to spread, continuing to evolve.

Would they turn into fiercer waves?

Or dissipate gradually, wave by wave, until calm returned.....

Thinking in this way and after appreciating the dark night view for a while, Qiu Tu slowly withdrew his gaze.

Then.... he picked up the dossier of Jia Shu beside him, looked at the "brother" under the relatives section, and fell into deep contemplation....

...

Meanwhile, in the City Center Garden Villa.

"Jia Shu," led by Ji Chen, also arrived at Yan Chen's study.

As usual, Yan Chen's entire being was hidden in the darkness, not letting anyone discern his expression...

After Ji Chen left and closed the door of the study, Yan Chen finally spoke slowly,

"You've made too much noise with tonight's affair, Jia Shu...."

He paused, his gaze neither joyous nor sad, fell on "Jia Shu," and then he corrected himself, "Or should I say... Jia Wei."
