The reason why Qiu Tu asked Bai Ru to make this call was for Qin Shuman's invitation tonight.

So when he heard Qin Shuman's words, of course he agreed without any hesitation, "No problem."

"Exactly. I also have something I want to talk to you about."

Qin Shuman was not surprised when she heard this. She looked at the clock in the office on the other side of the phone and directly set the time, "Then let's meet at the usual place at 8 o'clock tonight?"

Qiu Tu, "No problem."

Just like that, a simple phone call set up tonight's date.

Like Qin Shuman, Qiu Tu was obviously looking forward to tonight's date. So he hung up the phone with a smile, put the phone aside, and prepared to chat with Bai Ru for a few more words before leaving.

When he looked up, he saw Bai Ru secretly looking at him with a strange look.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Tu coughed and immediately put away his smile.

Bai Ru also realized that her gaze was noticed by Qiu Tu. She quickly turned her face slightly to avoid meeting Qiu Tu's eyes. Then she joked softly with a hint of embarrassment, "The relationship between Director Qiu and Director Yudie is really good."

complex."

Hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but reply, "Isn't the relationship between us complicated?"

Bai Ru was startled when she heard Qiu Tu's words. She couldn't help but think of the rights and wrongs between her and Qiu Tu during this period. For a moment, she felt a little melancholy, so she couldn't help but sigh slightly.

In fact, her feelings for Qiu Tu are very complicated.

She was close to Qiu Tu before, just because her husband was arrested, and she wanted to spend money to bribe Qiu Tu to let her husband go.

In the end, no one expected that Qiu Tu was in the tiger's mouth. He didn't care about money, but only people and credit. This not only allowed her to be taken advantage of by Qiu Tu, but also allowed Qiu Tu to follow the clues she accidentally leaked and reveal the entire case.

It was broken by those who followed the clues.

After that, one of her father and her husband were sentenced to death, and the other to life imprisonment.

To be honest, at that time, Bai Ru really wanted to die with Qiu Tu and kill the "murderer who killed his whole family."

But although Bai Yongdong made many mistakes himself, he still taught Bai Ru very well.

Therefore, Bai Ru knew that Qiu Tu did not do anything wrong, but that it was her father and husband who did something wrong.

Moreover, Qiu Tu is the chief of the Political Department, and his duty is to dig out black sheep like his father and husband.

Therefore, she simply could not hate Qiu Tu from the bottom of her heart.

All she can do is stay away from Qiu Tu and have no contact with Qiu Tu until death.

But who knew that she wanted to stay away from Qiu Tu, but Qiu Tu never "let go" of her.

Qiu Tu has been sending text messages and calling Bai Ru in the name of "caring about the mistaken suspect".

Bai Ru ignored her, and he didn't care either. He still asked a few questions when he had time.

Bai Ru's good tutoring made it impossible for Bai Ru not to reply to Qiu Tu all the time. In addition, Qiu Tu did not harass or disturb her like he did when handling cases, except for occasional inquiries and concerns.

So, gradually, she began to reply to Qiu Tu some text messages.

In this way, as time went by, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

The turning point of the matter was that she was made things difficult by her boss, the Deputy Director of the Department of Civil Affairs.

At that time, Qiu Tu was already the deputy minister of the Political Department.

After learning about this from Bai Runa, Qiu Tu didn't say anything, but directly called Committee Jiang's secretary Tao Yaoyao.

Tao Yaoyao didn't do anything. She just came over to see Bai Ru when passing by the Civil Affairs Department, and then brought Qiu Tu's greetings to Bai Ru.

The personal concern of the secretary of the first committee member of the city hall and the care of the deputy director of the political department were enough to change Bai Ru's embarrassing situation in the Civil Affairs Department. Therefore, the boss's difficulties were easily solved.

As a woman with a "conservative heart", Bai Ru has a weak personality and naturally likes to rely on the strong.

Therefore, when Bai Ru saw Qiu Tu helping him solve the problem so easily, even though Bai Ru didn't realize it, she couldn't help but get closer to Qiu Tu in her heart.

Later, when Bai Ru encountered some difficulties that he could not solve, he would always think of Qiu Tu.

Although she didn't tell Qiu Tu everything, she only asked Qiu Tu for help twice.

But those two difficulties were all solved perfectly by Qiu Tu's arrangements. This also made the relationship between the two better and better, and finally there was no longer the gap as before.

Until now, she could even handle such a secret matter as calling Qin Shuman for Qiu Tu.

After thinking about it like this, Bai Ru couldn't help but feel that the relationship between herself and Qiu Tu was indeed more complicated than Yudie.

Thinking of this, Bai Ru gradually came back to her senses.

She gathered up her skirt, put her round calves together, lifted them up, and put them on the sofa. She sat sideways on the sofa in a very elegant posture. Then she said to Qiu Tu gently, "The minister said

Yes, it does seem that things are very complicated between us."

"It's like I still don't understand, how can you guarantee that I won't leak the secret?"

As she spoke, she brushed away the broken hair next to her cheeks, revealing her beautiful swan neck.

Her palm-sized white and tender face is gentle and charming, and looks delicate under the light.

She clearly has the gentleness and figure of a mature young woman, but her skin is like that of an 18-year-old girl, as white as jade, and so tender that you can pinch water.

Qiu Tu's appreciative eyes fell on Bai Ru, he smiled but said nothing.

Then he took out a light yellow, round, translucent stone like orpiment from his pocket.

"The Forgotten Stone: One of the precious disaster materials. It has the effect of erasing short-term memory."

"It can be used directly, or it can be forged with forging technology to create catastrophic treasures such as "Echoes of the Past Clay Pot" and "Letter from the Other Side of the Stars"."

This is a cataclysmic material reward that Qiu Tu got from the countdown treasure chest of [Zhao Ji’s Wrath].

This cataclysmic material can not only be used to create cataclysmic treasures, but also has corresponding effects when used alone. It can be said to be extremely powerful.

It was precisely because he obtained this catastrophic material that Qiu Tu dared to ask Bai Ru to make this call for him.

Thinking like this, Qiu Tu stretched out his hand towards Bai Ru.

A trace of curiosity flashed across Bai Ru's face, but she still handed her white and tender hand to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu took Bai Ru's little hand and warmed it, then he gently rubbed the "Forgotten River Stone" on Bai Ru's palm.

The next second, Bai Ru's body froze, and her eyes slowly became hollow.

After a moment, she came back to her senses, then looked at Qiu Tu and said a little strangely, "Mr. Qiu, what are we doing?"

"Have I finished the call for you?"

Seeing this, Qiu Tu gently wiped Bai Ru's hand with the "Wangchuan Stone" again.

Bai Ru's body froze again, and her eyes became empty again.

After a moment, she came to her senses again.

Then she looked at her hand held by Qiu Tu, her cheeks were slightly red, and she whispered, "Minister Qiu, you grabbed my hand as soon as you entered the door. Isn't it a bit too abrupt?"

Qiu Tu discussed the phone call with Bai Ru only after he entered Bai Ru's home.

Now seeing that Bai Ru's memory had been cleared to the moment when he just walked in, Qiu Tu felt that enough was enough.

So he let go of Bai Ru's hand, put the "Forgotten River Stone" back into his pocket, and then said with a smile, "Sorry, Section Chief Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm a little excited."

Just like that, he casually found a reason to sit with Bai Ru for a while, and tried a few more words. After confirming that Bai Ru really didn't remember helping to make the phone call, Qiu Tu took the initiative to say goodbye.

Although Bai Ru always felt weird, she really didn't remember what happened just now, so she came out to see Qiu Tu off.

When they stood up to see each other off, Bai Ru accidentally glanced at the clock on the wall.

The hands of the clock have already pointed to the 7 o'clock position.

"Time flies so fast," Bai Ru couldn't help but sigh when she saw this, "I remember it was only 5 o'clock when I got home."

"Nothing was done, and it was already 7 o'clock."

"I didn't do anything." After hearing Bai Ru's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment and almost slapped his own thigh in hatred!

That’s right! I even erased Bai Ru’s memory! Why didn’t I do something?!

What is the difference between me and the great sage who captured the seven fairies and then went to steal the peach!

With deep annoyance, Qiu Tu got into the car, started it, and then left the small villa where Bai Ru lived and headed towards the Milan Hotel.

For Bai Ru, Qiu Tu was not only a little bit greedy for her body, but more importantly, she was Qiu Tu's nail in the door to the city hall.

Qiu Tu now has a certain status and influence in the Exploration Agency. Although he cannot say exactly what he wants, few people can stop him if he wants to do something.

In the military department, Qiu Tu was assisted by Qin Shuman, and he also had his own status as "supervisor". Although he was not as influential as the Exploration Agency, he still had no problem if he wanted to do something.

Therefore, in New Territories City, the only weak point in Qiu Tu is the City Hall.

Yan Ai's previous actions taught Qiu Tu: when his position cannot be promoted vertically in a short period of time, what a politician has to do is to extend his power tentacles horizontally. So Qiu Tu also took the initiative to develop his power in the city hall.

idea.

In this case, Bai Ru, the section chief who had been in contact before, had a weak personality, and no longer had any background, became the most suitable candidate for Qiu Tu.

Get rid of her, use her to contact more section chiefs and department heads, and gradually infiltrate the city hall, this is Qiu Tu's next plan.

so.

'Don't worry. What's mine will be mine sooner or later.'
