Let them offer their loyalty!
Chapter 897 - 451

Secretary Han keenly detected the stiffening expression on Huang Shangzong's face.

As a secretary, a fundamental quality is to observe and analyze one's boss. Thus, he hurriedly reined in his own smile, then bowed slightly and asked softly, "Speaker... is my analysis incorrect?"

Upon hearing Secretary Han's words, Huang Shangzong's thick eyebrows resting on his forehead gently furrowed.

He looked towards Secretary Han, his broad and resolute face etched with deep thought.

He said, "Your analysis... there's nothing wrong with it."

"Even, I have the same thoughts."

"But..."

Saying this, he changed his tone and then said, "I suddenly thought, whenever it comes to matters related to Qiu Tu, or when dealing with him."

"When have our predictions ever been accurate?"

"Whenever we think he'll fail, he'll certainly succeed."

"Whatever we think he's incapable of, he'll definitely accomplish."

"So, could it be that this time, he's actually succeeded as well?"

Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Secretary Han was baffled.

He looked at Huang Shangzong incredulously.

Who is Huang Shangzong? The Speaker of Dongye State, a Member of Parliament in the Supreme Sanctuary Council, a top five senior figure in the Academic Faction!

Could it be that because of a young man in his twenties, he'd actually started indulging in metaphysics and intuition?

Thinking thus, Secretary Han quickly advised, "Speaker... You've definitely been angered by Speaker Qiu lately. That's why you're thinking this way."

"Your analysis and judgments need to be logical..."

"With your status, whether you're developing the economy, investigating cases, or carrying out military operations, you must extract valuable information from various intelligence sources, then use your wisdom to make judgments. How can you rely on mere guesses, on feelings!"

Secretary Han's words were actually quite blunt, even bordering on admonishment.

However, at this moment, Huang Shangzong seemed as if he'd experienced a breakthrough, his understanding of Qiu Tu entering a new realm.

He didn't blame Secretary Han for his presumptuousness, instead he gestured with his large palm-like hand and said, "No, no, no."

"I'm not relying on intuition, nor am I playing with metaphysics. On the contrary, I am also conducting a logical analysis."

Saying this, Huang Shangzong tapped the steel table with his thick fingers, his resolute face filled with seriousness and depth, "Look, Xiao Han..."

"A person's style of conduct, work ethic, and abilities, remain constant over a short period of time, correct?"

Secretary Han nodded.

Huang Shangzong continued, "And we've seen Qiu Tu's abilities many times. His day-to-day work can only be considered average, but when it comes to handling significant matters, his capability is top-notch, right?"

Secretary Han nodded again.

Huang Shangzong then said, "And his style of conduct has always been unconventional. This leads to him being particularly adept at creating miracles, right?"

Secretary Han hesitated for a moment, then nodded once more.

The more Huang Shangzong spoke, the brighter his eyes shone.

Though his political acumen and ability to judge people might be lacking, being able to become a military expert, he inherently possessed the "heart of a great general." Therefore, sometimes, his spiritual perception could be more accurate than his analytical skills.

He sat on his broad, steel-crafted Speaker's chair, his muscular 195-cm-tall frame like a towering mountain.

"That Old Fox Liu Xiongyuan, though he appears brash, is actually shrewd and distinct in his public and private dealings."

"Plus, with his grassroots background, accustomed to scrimping and scheming, if he were only planning for a revolt, I feel it wouldn't match his style to organize such a large-scale joint exercise during such a sensitive time."

"So... he's very likely providing cover for Qiu Tu, and even..."

Saying this, Huang Shangzong's eyes were filled with firmness and confidence, "He's directly involved in the arrest!"

Having listened to Huang Shangzong's analysis, Secretary Han stood agape, stunned in place.

Although Huang Shangzong's analysis, each point exaggerated and even based upon "suspecting" Qiu Tu,

But one has to admit, when each detail is laid out, he too, feels... it seems a bit like the truth.

But... just in one day and night! In just one day and night, Qiu Tu traversed through 16 cities, sweeping up all the troublesome anti-government remnants in one fell swoop! That's too exaggerated!

It's practically a miracle!

Not knowing whether he'd guessed his secretary's thoughts,

Huang Shangzong's imposing tiger-eyes fell upon Secretary Han, and then he said solemnly, "Qiu Tu's rise to Deputy Speaker in just one year, isn't that a miracle?"

"Qiu Tu's strength surging to Peak Fourth Rank within a year, isn't that a miracle?"

"Qiu Tu's slaying of a Fourth-Order Evil God with a single strike, isn't that a miracle?"

By the end, even Huang Shangzong himself fell silent.

After a moment, he slowly remarked, "It seems like he was born to create miracles..."

Secretary Han stood rooted to the spot, for a time not knowing how to refute.

Meanwhile, Huang Shangzong thought for a while, then said, "Actually, there's a very simple way to verify this."

Secretary Han, upon hearing this, swiftly came back to his senses. Then he eagerly asked, "Speaker, what method?"

Huang Shangzong did not answer but instead picked up the handset of the phone on the table, directly dialing a couple of digits.

Secretary Han stood by observing, astutely noting that this was the phone number for the Director of Dongye State Security Bureau, Dai Yukang.

"Beep... Beep..."

The telephone rang twice, then connected.

Dai Yukang's voice, seemingly amused, came through the receiver, "Speaker, you're looking for me?"

Huang Shangzong grunted affirmatively, then asked in a deep voice, "Has Qiu Tu already eliminated all the anti-government remnants?"
