"If I'm not mistaken, this is likely a trap set by Qiu Tu, aiming to have us fight against each other."

"As for himself, he stands to benefit like a fisherman watching two fish fight."

Upon hearing Jiang Zhenpeng's analysis, Tao Yaoyao also showed a dawning realization on her face.

She said, "Uncle, I understand now. This is what you mentioned... When encountering a scheme, don't rush, first see who benefits."

"The one who benefits is very likely the manipulator behind the scenes."

She analyzed, "This purge operation pitted you three against each other while Qiu Tu comfortably fishes from the sideline, reaping the benefits."

"After the purge, Xinjie City will experience a brief period of peace."

"Thus, Qiu Tu benefits as well. Because as the chief of the Investigation Bureau, his primary responsibility is maintaining public order in the city."

Listening to Tao Yaoyao's analysis, Jiang Zhenpeng lightly nodded in agreement.

However, after agreeing, he suddenly seemed to realize something and then sharply rebuked, "How many times have I told you? Address by position when at work."

"Do you still want your promotion or not?"

At his words, Tao Yaoyao quickly bowed her head and responded, "Yes, Commissioner Jiang."

Seeing Jiang Zhenpeng's expression soften slightly, she asked, "So Commissioner... how do we handle this matter next?"

"Are we just going to watch the Investigation Bureau arrest everyone?"

She said, "Among them... there are definitely agents from the Anti-government Armed Forces who deserve their fate."

"But there are also surely some... whose stance is just slightly weak."

"This is actually quite normal in the Planning Area."

"Now in the dead of winter, at a time when manpower is needed, losing so many people can easily cause chaos."

Hearing Tao Yaoyao's words, Jiang Zhenpeng leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, as if having thought of an idea, he smiled and said, "You're right. It's the dead of winter, and suddenly so many officials are gone, chaos can easily arise."

"Let's... let the chaos grow bigger."

"They want to stir up trouble, right? Then let's stir it up, and take it all the way to the state government, to the Sanctuary."

"I remember that two or three section chiefs were arrested from the Civil Affairs Bureau, right?"

"Have the winter welfare grain distribution to the people halted."

"When the people ask, just say that because the officials were arrested, the Civil Affairs Bureau is very chaotic, temporarily unable to find someone to sign off on it. This batch of welfare grain will have to be delayed."

Hearing Jiang Zhenpeng's words, Tao Yaoyao was startled, then involuntarily said, "Uncle, winter is already tough, people are scrimping and saving just to store food for the winter."

"Stopping the welfare grain could lead to deaths."

Hearing Tao Yaoyao's words, Jiang Zhenpeng casually picked up his teacup, took a light sip, and then said, "Let them die then. Make the common people suffer, and let the blame fall on Qiu Tu."

"As for us? With so many section chiefs, directors, and bureau chiefs arrested, aren't we allowed a bit of chaos?"

Jiang Zhenpeng drew out his tone, saying, "Wait two or three weeks, then distribute it—~~not many will die."

Hearing Jiang Zhenpeng's words, Tao Yaoyao stood shocked.

This plan was utterly ruthless, it even felt sinful.

But the person before her was her uncle, also her direct superior, she had no room to refute.

She could only slightly bow her head, then said, "Yes, Commissioner Jiang...."

...

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu was unaware that his two rivals in Xinjie City were plotting to cause him trouble.

At that moment, he was "hunting" the Evil God.

"Has the Whale Shark ever left since it arrived here?"

Qiu Tu asked the 'Team Captain' kneeling on one knee before him.

The 'Team Captain' was originally Wu Yun, the captain of the Lianzhen Special Combat Team, a Cataclysmic in the late Third Order stage.

Even though he lost some of his abilities due to resurrection, thanks to Qiu Tu's willingness to make sacrifices, he still maintained the strength of the middle Third Order stage.

His Cataclysm Path is 'Destruction,' and his ability is called 'Boiling Beast Blood.'

The effect is that he can burn the blood in his body into a blood mist, directly enhancing his strength! He can also turn the blood mist into armor and mist, increasing his defense and attack power!

Although he is now transformed into an undead Dark Soldier, and his abilities have changed somewhat, it's just turning the burning blood into spiritual power.

In essence, it's still burning life to enhance strength, harming the enemy a thousand and self eight hundred.

Despite its simplicity, because of Wu Yun's extraordinary close combat and martial techniques in life, even a simple ability can unleash powerful effects because it suits him.

This leads to... even though he was transformed into a Dark Soldier and his strength slightly decreased, Wu Yun remains the strongest among all of Qiu Tu's confidants.

As for the other four members of the Special Warfare Squad: 'Yellow-Haired,' 'Mirror Lady,' 'Earring,' and 'Old Man,' their abilities are also more or less** the same as in life.

'Yellow-Haired' has 'Spiritual Gatling' where his hands drop from his wrists, arms turning into twin Gatlings with infinite bullets, allowing him unrestricted combat.

'Earring's Cataclysmic ability is 'Demon Possession.' Once the tattoos cover his entire body, he can summon a 'demon' from the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region' to possess him and fight in his place.

As for 'Mirror Lady' and 'Old Man,' their abilities are relatively simple.

'Mirror Lady' can summon large puppets from the ground or ruins to fight for her. 'Old Man' can teleport people instantaneously.
