Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 501 - 319: Does She Have a Problem? (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)

Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Tan Huimin nodded, then turned and walked toward the door, ready to bring Yanyan in.

However, just as she reached the door, Tan Huimin suddenly halted in her tracks.

Standing there, after hesitating briefly, she turned back to Qiu Tu and said, "Minister, Miss Yanyan came by herself."

When Qiu Tu heard Tan Huimin’s words, he was startled at first. Then his expression became reserved, and he looked up at Tan Huimin.

Tan Huimin conveyed a look to Qiu Tu, who nodded slightly, indicating he understood.

After Tan Huimin left, Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment, then stood up and fiddled slightly with the video camera in his office.

In turbulent times, while one may harbor ill will, it is essential to maintain a guard.

One must still be careful in all things.

Indeed, Tan Huimin managed to buy Qiu Tu a bit of time outside. Only then did she knock on the door and walk in with Yanyan.

Yanyan was dressed today in a form-fitting cheongsam, perhaps because it was late autumn, her shoulders draped with a white cashmere shawl. Paired with her angelic face and skin white as snow, she was the spitting image of a famous socialite from the Republic era.

After giving Yanyan a once-over, Qiu Tu stood up and gestured to the chair in front of him, saying, "Miss Yanyan, hello. May I ask what brings you here today?"

Yanyan, upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, scanned him up and down with her clear eyes.

After a moment, she smiled brightly and took a seat.

Once seated, Yanyan fixed her almond-shaped eyes on Qiu Tu, then inquired, "Qiu... Minsiter. May I call you Qiu Tu?"

Faced with Yan Chen’s daughter, respect was due. So Qiu Tu sat down, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course."

Upon hearing this, Yanyan’s face lit up with a happy smile. Her face, somewhat similar to Qin Shuman’s, gained two adorable dimples when she smiled, looking irresistibly cute.

"Great! Then from now on, I’ll call you Qiu Tu!"

Afterward, Yanyan said, "By the way, Qiu Tu. Could I ask you for a favor?"

In fact, as soon as he learned Yanyan had come to see him, Qiu Tu had guessed why she was there.

Indeed... It was precisely because he had guessed her purpose that Qiu Tu felt he could extract Yan Chen’s itinerary from her.

Although he had seen through Yanyan’s intentions, Qiu Tu still played along, expressing his curiosity.

He leaned back in his chair and asked, "Please tell me, Miss Yanyan. I won’t hesitate if it’s within my power to assist."

Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Yanyan quickly leaned forward, her gaze intense as she looked at Qiu Tu and said, "Qiu Tu~~ would you be my guide! Accompany me around Xinjie City?"

As she spoke, possibly worried about a misunderstanding, Yanyan hurriedly explained further.

"Actually... I came to Xinjie City without my father’s knowledge."

"I heard people say my father was in trouble, that he had fought with an Evil God and got trapped with it, his life or death unknown, which is why I rushed over in fear."

"Who would have thought that once I arrived, my father was fine. He severely criticized me for being impulsive and hasty, then ordered me to return to the Sanctuary."

At this point, Yanyan pouted, her tone becoming somewhat petulant, "But I’ve just arrived in Xinjie City! I haven’t had fun or seen anything yet."

"So, I don’t want to go back, I want to wander around Xinjie City, travel a bit."

"That way, my journey to the Planning Area isn’t wasted."

Yanyan indeed had a childish streak, pouting one second, unhappy, and the next second, when talking about going out to play, her face immediately beamed with a beautiful smile.

She said with a giggle, "So, Qiu Tu~ would you take me to wander around Xinjie City?"

Humans are a peculiar species. Things too easily obtained are often taken for granted.

Therefore, Qiu Tu did not agree immediately, but instead revealed a look of hesitation.

He spoke with uncertainty, "Miss Yanyan... Your father is the Bureau Chief, my superior. He doesn’t want you to travel, prefers you return. I... it would be inappropriate to defy his wishes."

Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Yanyan chuckled and said, "Qiu Tu, you’re still playing games with me."

"Everyone in the Quan Investigation Bureau knows you are my father’s trusted... troublemaker."

"He always has his way in the Investigation Bureau, with the few times he’s been bested all at your hands."

"So... you’re still afraid of him?"

Qiu Tu:.....

Yanyan’s bright, alluring eyes gazed playfully at Qiu Tu, "See... you were already set to oppose him. Now, he doesn’t want me to travel, and if you take me to travel, that’s another successful opposition, right?"

At this point, she exaggeratedly gestured with her hands as if to draw a picture, "Just think about it. You kidnap his darling daughter, wouldn’t he be furious?"

Qiu Tu:.....

Truth be told, the pie Yanyan was drawing wasn’t very tempting, nowhere near as attractive as her father’s offer, even somewhat childish.

But since Qiu Tu had intended to use Yanyan anyway, he coughed once, then followed her logic, "What you’re saying... does make some sense."

"However... Miss Yanyan. Do you think if I take you out to travel, the Bureau Chief’s influence in Xinjie won’t find out?"

"Once he learns of it, wouldn’t he send someone to take you back?"

Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Yanyan’s face indeed showed a hint of hesitation, then she couldn’t help but ask, "That’s true. So... what should we do?"

Qiu Tu thought for a moment, then said, "How about this. Go to your father’s secretary and get a copy of your father’s schedule for the next few days."
