Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!

Chapter 97 : Two Major Gains After the Crisis

Hearing his words, Yan Chen's gaze suddenly sharpened.

He did not express his stance immediately, but fell silent for two seconds before asking, "What unconventional measures do you wish to utilize?"

Standing upright, Qiu Tu spoke earnestly, "Including but not limited to compulsory searches, arrests before investigation, torture during interrogation, the privilege to mobilize 2-3 squads of the Special Service Department's teams, and the Special Arrest Warrant for arbitrarily detaining officials below the Bureau Chief level without liability!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the office fell into silence once again....

Were Qiu Tu's demands high?

Actually, not really. Since the Political Department itself functions as secret police, it inherently has the powers to compel searches, make arrests before investigation, and even resort to torture during interrogation.

But.... if you add the privilege of mobilizing Special Task Squads and the Special Arrest Warrant for arbitrarily detaining officials below the Bureau Chief level, it starts to become intimidating.

How many senior officials at the Bureau Chief level and above are there among Xinjie City's three major power institutions?

Just dozens.

This would mean that, apart from these few dozen people, Qiu Tu could do as he pleases in Xinjie City for the next five days, capturing and interrogating anyone he wanted!

Moreover, without any liability!

After all... Qiu Tu had also requested "immunity" from liability.

Thinking of this, Yan Chen couldn't help but hesitate. He instinctively glanced at Jia Shu, wanting to gauge his opinion.

However, just as his eyes were moving in that direction, he restrained himself.

That's because he suddenly remembered some of Jia Shu's recent deceitful acts and secretive doings....

Thus, his expression darkened slightly as he scrutinized Qiu Tu carefully.

There's one very important aspect of being a boss: that is, you must maintain the balance of power among your subordinates, ensuring that no single subordinate becomes too powerful.

After a long moment, Yan Chen propped himself up from the black walnut wood desk and slowly stood. He patted Jia Shu's shoulder lightly, then left without a word.

Seeing this, Jia Shu followed behind and saw Yan Chen out of the office. Only after watching the receding figures of Yan Chen and Ji Chen disappear at the end of the hallway did Jia Shu's gaze flicker, and he returned to his own office.

Back in his office, Jia Shu's complexion gradually turned from rosy to ashen, his eyes bloodshot, and his expression began to twist into something quite ferocious.

His tongue elongated as he licked his lips, eyes filled with perverted desire, "What a tempting fruit...."

"To dare walk a tightrope in front of me and the Bureau Chief, playing with the gap in information."

"Interesting, very interesting."

"I really can't wait for the fruit to ripen...."

While speaking, his breathing became noticeably heavier....

....

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu, having left Jia Shu's office, was also sorting through the achievements of the day.

Just now, due to the love-hate relationship between Yan Chen and Jia Shu, Qiu Tu had triggered three [Crisis Countdowns].

The first and third countdowns were short-term crises, and he had already dealt with them.

Only the second countdown was a bit special.

Qiu Tu clicked on his thoughts, and the Crisis Warning that had just appeared popped up before him again,

"Your immediate superior, Yan Chen, has updated new directives for you regarding the 'Yin Caimei' case, demanding you to clarify the case within five days."

"His forceful intervention is likely to agitate many people and powers."

"Clarify the case within the allotted time and ensure your safety, for the danger may just come from the shadows...."
