Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 371 - 274: Qiu Tu’s Stratagems Within the Tent! (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)_3

Qiu Tu commented, "Compared to the Sanctuary Force, anti-government armed forces like the United Front obviously need Cataclysmic Material and Cataclysmic Awakening Potion even more."

"That’s why they’ve always had a huge interest in Moonlight Lake."

"In order to take over Moonlight Lake, they’ve assembled the forces of three divisions in the Disaster Zone recently, moving rapidly towards Moonlight Lake."

"The reason Liu Xiongyuan has been so quick to harness Moonlight Lake is partly due to the pressure from them."

"As long as Moonlight Lake forms quickly and gets depleted swiftly, the United Front will lose its target and naturally retreat."

"But, if we know this, the United Front surely knows it too."

"So, they will stop at nothing to interrupt the process of us extracting Tears of Moonlight."

Tang Feifei nodded thoughtfully and then said, "I understand what you’re saying, but how can you guess the methods they’ll use?"

Hearing Tang Feifei’s words, Qiu Tu couldn’t help but smile, and then he said lightly, "Because... if I were them, I would certainly do the same."

Upon hearing this, Tang Feifei gave Qiu Tu a deep look, then raised her eyes towards the direction of Moonlight Forest.

After a pause, she slowly said, "Since you’re such a master strategist, I’ll make you a promise as well."

"If I really do make a great achievement this time, once I become the Bureau Chief, I will definitely..."

As she spoke, Tang Feifei paused, then continued, "Make you the Bureau Chief’s lover."

Qiu Tu: ???

Qiu Tu looked at Tang Feifei with a face full of question marks.

Then he saw the corners of Tang Feifei’s mouth curl up into a smile, clearly, she was joking, trying to tease Qiu Tu.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu couldn’t help feeling sentimental: the former Tang Feifei never joked, and now she had started teasing him.

His "essence" really did have the power to change people!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu smugly took a sip of his drink, planning to find time to give Tang Feifei more of his essence and change her aloof temperament.

...

Meanwhile, as Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei were exchanging playful barbs.

The situation in Moonlight Forest was also changing continuously.

After a half-hour delay, the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau and the Eastern City Military Department finally arrived at Moonlight Lake, albeit belatedly.

However, they were faced with two major forces that had already taken over the entire lake.

They were eager to negotiate, but the two forces were adamant: they would only clear the path if they received orders from either Director Liu or General Ye.

So they were asked to have the highest official in their organizations contact Director Liu or General Ye.

Such a request wasn’t excessive. In the face of significant issues, the various departments often handled things this way.

But... it was now deep into the night and with Moonlight Lake having just formed, time equaled life; every minute delayed meant countless Tears of Moonlight were extracted by the two forces.

Therefore, both the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau and the Eastern City Military Department were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Unwilling as they were, they had no choice but to urgently contact their department’s highest officials.

The Eastern City Military Department still had a chance, with their highest official present, but the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau was in trouble: Yan Chen was in the middle of a promotion, and they simply couldn’t reach him.

So, they could only call Lin Ting, the Special Duties Department Director, hoping he could coordinate things.

But Lin Ting was two ranks below Liu Xiongyuan, far inferior both in seniority and position, and had no say in the matter.

He was keen to try contacting Tang Feifei, but the logic was the same: a big shot like Liu Xiongyuan might give some face to peers, but even if Tang Feifei approached Liu Xiongyuan, it would be of little use.
