Chapter 882 - 446: Promotion to Deputy Speaker! (10,000 words for Monthly Tickets!)

Qiu Tu's application for the position of Deputy Speaker was so shocking that, combined with only a few Speakers and sporadic confidants having seen the video material, it prevented the information from spreading out.

But the news that Elder Wang is coming to Dongye State to inspect Xinjie City is public.

So, in almost no time at all, nearly all sixteen cities of Dongye State knew that Elder Wang was going to inspect Xinjie City.

Those who can become high-ranking officials in the state are rarely truly foolish, and most are extremely sensitive to politics.

This has led the leaders of Dongye State's sixteen cities to almost instantly link Elder Wang's visit with Qiu Tu's promotion to Deputy Speaker.

At that moment, most of the leaders only had one thought: Could it be? Could it really be? That Qiu Tu's promotion to Deputy Speaker could actually be true?

Although unclear about what exactly Qiu Tu had submitted in his promotion materials, the silence of the six Speakers of the state and Elder Wang's unusual personal inspection gave these leaders a sense of something amiss.

So, these leaders also began to inquire about the news from the Sanctuary.

They soon received intelligence that "a Speakers meeting was convened in the Sanctuary specifically for Qiu Tu's promotion materials."

A Speakers meeting!?

This is the highest-level meeting in the Eighth Sanctuary, usually held only to discuss various secret and important matters.

And now, it was convened for Qiu Tu?

'What exactly did Qiu Tu do?'

'That not only gave him confidence to become Deputy Speaker, but also alarmed the real powerhouses in the Sanctuary?'

The leaders from those sixteen cities were now truly at the peak of their curiosity about Qiu Tu.

But since the matter was of such great significance, no one dared to leak the news before verification.

So, these leaders could only eagerly follow Elder Wang's movements, wanting to get first-hand news…

...

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu, after receiving the notice, was not too concerned.

Compared to public information, the notice he received was more comprehensive.

The top leaders of the Sanctuary congratulated Qiu Tu on slaying the Whale Shark and then announced that Elder Wang would personally understand the details of the incident and, if it was confirmed there were no issues, would directly promote Qiu Tu to Deputy Speaker.

Saying it was "to understand the details of the incident," both sides knew that Elder Wang was there to check the traces and aura on the Whale Shark's corpse.

As long as Qiu Tu was verified to truly have the strength to slay a Fourth-Order Evil God, then the Sanctuary would agree to his promotion.

This was all normal procedure.

Moreover, since Qiu Tu truly did kill the Whale Shark, he had no worries at all.

Furthermore, Xinjie City is now considered the safest city in Dongye State.

This led to Qiu Tu not focusing on Elder Wang's arrival, but rather on 'Scarface'...

Xinjie City, Investigation Bureau, Political Department, Information Supervision Department.

In the monitoring room, Qiu Tu sat in the main seat with Chen Feng beside him, while a dozen inquiry agents were busily working in front of several brand-new instruments.

These devices were obtained seven or eight months ago by Yan Chen and Jia Shu from Vice President Tian.

But Vice President Tian's mistress was suspected of being a spy for the United Front and was arrested.

Therefore, Vice President Tian did various favors for Jia Shu.

To acquire this set of instruments capable of monitoring citywide communications, Jia Shu helped Vice President Tian silence his mistress.

This led to a series of subsequent events.

As a result, who would've thought that, after all the twists and turns, this set of instruments would become Qiu Tu's trump card.

'Jia Shu is really a good person. Giving away both his wife and instruments...' leaning on his hand, Qiu Tu mused silently as he watched the dozen or so professional inquiry agents operate....

"There's a signal! We've got a signal!"

"Lock on it! Lock on quickly!"

"We can't lock on! It's an encrypted communication! There are signals with interference and rerouting!"

"Don't panic, trace it back up the line!"

"Give me some time, 1 minute! 1 minute is enough!"

Hearing the agents' shouts, Qiu Tu sat up slightly straighter, then watched.

Sure enough, the agents began expertly operating the instruments.

Because it is a time of chaos, neither tracking nor counter-tracking methods are strong.

To some extent, this competition is about resources and luck.

Compared to the Anti-government Armed Forces, the resources of an official force like Qiu Tu's are certainly much stronger.

Add to that Red Hair, the insider, deliberately delaying to create an opportunity for the monitoring personnel.

So soon, a minute passed, and cheers erupted in the monitoring room!

"We've got it! We've located the source of the signal!"

Accompanied by that cheer, several lines of information appeared on the electronic screen the next second.

"Name: Lin Fan, Occupation: Businessman, Registered Location: Wuhai City"

This was clearly the real owner of the communicator used by Scarface.

It was unclear if this person was related to Scarface, or if he was simply unfortunate, having lost his communicator which then ended up in Scarface's hands...

Qiu Tu's gaze swept over the registration information on the communicator, and the next second, the electronic screen refreshed.

The next second, a thumbnail electronic map of Xinjie City appeared on the screen.

And on it, a red dot twinkled like a star in a location slightly east of the center of the map...

Seeing the signal had been tracked, the agents hurriedly enlarged the map.

Qiu Tu also followed, watching intently.
