Let them offer their loyalty!

Qiu Tu recalled the several minutes of his meeting with Dai Yukang.

As soon as they met, Dai Yukang launched into his purpose by forcefully suggesting that Qiu Tu should help him at the Security Bureau.

This not only seized the momentum but also planted a subliminal suggestion in Qiu Tu's subconscious, facilitating the final plan.

Then, he redirected the conversation back, starting to bridge their relationship by offering to help Qiu Tu secure the position of Head of the Political Department, making it clear to Qiu Tu that they were on the same side.

Finally, he brought the conversation back to the original topic, once again proposing that Qiu Tu help him at the Security Bureau.

This time, he upped the ante, not only offering Qiu Tu a position that matched his current status, but also using the closely related Qin Shuman as a "threat" to squeeze Qiu Tu's room for maneuver.

If Qiu Tu did not accept, he would arrange for someone else to take the position. If Qin Shuman made a mistake, she would be taken down.

But if Qiu Tu accepted, then everything would be easily managed.

If Qin Shuman made a mistake, Qiu Tu would either replace her,

or he would have to clean up after her.

Either choice was a win for Dai Yukang.

The former meant he had effectively pulled Qiu Tu into the camp of the Security Bureau.

The latter... what difference was there from entering the Security Bureau? Either way, he would be working there.

'Such a brilliant move... such a brilliant move... truly worthy of the legendary director from the covert front lines.'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu also analyzed the pros and cons of taking up this position.

The downside was simple: he would now be firmly in the camp of the military and the Security Bureau.

Often, he would have to act in the interests of the Security Bureau.

Moreover, there might be more tasks assigned to occupy his time.

However, compared to the disadvantages, the benefits were greater.

First of all, having this position within the Security Bureau that corresponded to the Director of the Political Department gave Qiu Tu insurance:

Even if he couldn't get by in the Investigation Bureau system, was demoted, or even dismissed, he still had the Security Bureau as a safety net.

Neither his position nor his power would change much.

Secondly, after all, the Security Bureau was in charge of Evil God incidents and supernatural cases. To explore the supernatural power of this world more deeply and understand its secrets, one must be involved in this department. Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire

Moreover, in a world with Supernatural Power, the status of this department within the national system would only grow higher. The Sanctuary's current attempt to elevate the overall status of the Security Bureau was a sign of this.

Thus, joining a department in such a period of growth would clearly be better for Qiu Tu's future development.

And lastly, and most importantly...

The Security Department is a secret department of the military, while the Political Department is also the Investigation Bureau's secret department.

Moreover, both departments are responsible for espionage, counter-espionage, intelligence, and supervision.

Originally, these two departments were somewhat like the Eastern Factory and Western Factory, with a relationship of mutual oversight and competition to prevent either from growing too strong.

And now... if both departments were under his control.

Then... he would hold almost all the intelligence of the three major institutions; he could declare someone guilty or innocent at his discretion.

Also, with espionage and supervision in his hands, he could investigate and interrogate any official below the division level at will.

Such power would be formidable!

Even now, realizing that he was about to grasp such formidable power, Qiu Tu was somewhat shocked by Dai Yukang's actions: what kind of monster did he want to create?

What exactly did he want to do...?

With these thoughts, Qiu Tu's mind wandered to more doubts: Was the truth behind his promotion really as Dai Yukang had said?

Was Dai Yukang truly a person from the Reformist Faction?

Was it really Elder Wang that Dai Yukang had contacted?

Could it be that he merely knew or guessed the truth of the matter and wanted to use the information asymmetry to achieve some purpose?

With such thoughts, Qiu Tu became even more cautious.

However, now that they had come face to face,

and since... the other party had not shown any malice, Qiu Tu felt that he could go ahead and accept the tempting offer and embrace the olive branch.

It's foolish not to take advantage of what's given!

Even if it's a sugar-coated bullet, one can eat the sugar coating first before sending the bullet back!

Moreover... it seemed that he didn't have many other options anyway.

With these thoughts, Qiu Tu, despite still having numerous doubts, had already made his decision.

He came back to his senses, then smiled and saluted Dai Yukang, "Then I'll have to ask the superior to take good care of me in the future."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Dai Yukang nodded with satisfaction, a smile lurking in his eyes...

Having confirmed their allegiance, Dai Yukang turned and took out a dossier bag that had been prepared earlier from behind for Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu took the dossier bag, opened it, and pulled out the documents.

The documents were internal materials from the Security Bureau, mainly introducing the work, authority, and various departments and personnel arrangement of the Security Bureau and the Security Department of Xinjie City.

The introduction was very detailed, including many secrets.

Just by looking at this material, one could feel the sincerity of Dai Yukang.

Qiu Tu read through it carefully, then committed everything to memory.

Afterwards, following "industry rules," he took out a lighter and burned the documents in front of Dai Yukang.

Having done all this, Qiu Tu once again saluted Dai Yukang and then left the hotel room.

According to the agreement between the two, Qiu Tu's most important task was to first take control of the Political Department.
