Chapter 848 - 434 Larilo's Tricks (10,000 characters for Monthly Ticket)_3

From Larilo's behavior, it seemed like she wanted to continuously entice Qiu Tu with borderline actions. Qiu Tu would get to taste a bit of sweetness, but couldn't fully have it.

However, Qiu Tu had seen this kind of plot too many times in his previous life's comics. Eventually, when the edging continued, no one could control it.

Thus... this Heretic Goddess Girl, she had made up her mind! No one could sway her!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu flicked his fingers, turning the note into ashes, then laughing, he flipped the world, returning to the real world.

Back in the real world, Qiu Tu took a bath to wash away his exhaustion, then left the restroom.

Entering his office, Qiu Tu checked the time; it was 10 A.M.

He pressed a button, preparing to call Chen Feng to inquire about today's schedule.

Just as his finger touched the button, someone "thump thump thump" knocked loudly on his office door.

'Huh? They've come this quickly?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu responded, "Come in."

The next second, the office door was pushed open, and Tao Yaoyao entered.

Seeing Qiu Tu, she quietly greeted him, then said, "Bureau Chief, Minister Guan has some important issues to report to you."

'Guan Xiao?'

Hearing Tao Yaoyao's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then said, "Let her in."

"Alright." Tao Yaoyao acknowledged, then walked out.

After a moment, Guan Xiao entered under her guidance.

Things seemed quite urgent, so upon entering Qiu Tu's office, Guan Xiao gave him several meaningful glances.

Their unspoken understanding allowed Qiu Tu to immediately grasp Guan Xiao's hints. He waved at Tao Yaoyao, saying, "No need to make tea, Yaoyao. A quick chat with Minister Guan will suffice."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tao Yaoyao acknowledged and then turned to leave the office, leaving the space to the two of them.

Once only the two remained in the office, Guan Xiao solemnly said to Qiu Tu, "Bureau Chief, there's trouble. Someone is deliberately causing problems."

Hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu made a questioning noise, then asked, "What happened?"

Guan Xiao briefly reported the incident about the City Hall supplies being ransacked last night.

Then, she followed up with the subsequent developments.

She said, "Shortly after the incident last night, a rumor started spreading in Xinjie City."

"The rumor claims... that the batch of supplies at City Hall wasn't actually missing. It's because your 'Purge Operation' upset Commissioner Jiang."

"Commissioner Jiang plans to intentionally delay the emergency supplies and food relief. Thus, he orchestrated this whole drama."

"After the news surfaced, I wanted to report to you, but I couldn't reach you, so I could only watch and wait while continuing to gather information."

"Commissioner Jiang's response wasn't slow either; they immediately printed flyers and assembled a team, planning to start publicizing this morning, saying that they are prepared to distribute relief food in three days."

"But even with such speed, the mastermind behind the scenes still picked out the loopholes."

Guan Xiao paused, then explained, "To earn a living, the lower-class citizens generally start their day around 4 to 5 AM."

"However, the working hours for City Hall officials start at 9 AM."

"There is a time difference of about 4 to 5 hours between these."

"The mastermind keenly captured this time difference, so by 8 AM, rumors started to explode."

"After 9 AM, it was almost unstoppable."

"By 9:30 AM, when City Hall began their publicity efforts, the public had already lost faith."

"Now... although people are still gathering, they are also agitated, believing it to be a power struggle between you and Commissioner Jiang that affects their livelihood..."
