Chapter 965 - 471: Slaying a Fifth Order Evil God! (10,000 words asking for Monthly Ticket!)_2

On the other end of the phone, Ye Mingfeng was smoking, his expression flickering through the swirling smoke, "That's right."

"Such a powerful counterattack, indeed I've never seen anything like it before."

"If I wasn't sure we hadn't done anything, I would have thought we had hit their nest."

Upon hearing Ye Mingfeng's words, Dai Yukang said with a grave expression, "That's why I always feel like something big is about to happen."

"Something big?" Ye Mingfeng was puzzled.

Dai Yukang said, "Don't you think... the ferocious attacks from the Disaster Zone these past few days are like a cover-up for something?"

At this, Ye Mingfeng hesitated briefly before tentatively suggesting, "You mean... you suspect they're using this large-scale attack to cover up some other purpose?"

Dai Yukang nodded slightly, adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then said, "Yes, that's my guess."

Ye Mingfeng's brows also furrowed slightly. He fell silent in contemplation for a moment and didn't continue on the topic but instead asked about Qiu Tu.

"Still no news of Qiu Tu?"

Dai Yukang shook his head, "None. He's vanished as if into thin air."

"Whether it's pulling surveillance records or conducting covert searches in various cities, there's no trace of him."

Ye Mingfeng, puzzled, said, "Where on earth could he have gone then?"

Dai Yukang's eyes were full of contemplation, "I don't know."

"I suspect he left through the 'Boundless Heart Sea.' That's why we can't find any trace of him."

"Furthermore…" Dai Yukang paused for a moment, then said, "His two secretaries are clearly getting more and more panicked, their complexions are deteriorating."

"This indicates that he left very abruptly, without even saying goodbye to his confidants."

Ye Mingfeng squinted as he took a drag on his cigarette, then inquired, "What did he do before he left?"

Dai Yukang picked up the teacup on the table but didn't drink, just holding it.

He looked out the window for two seconds before saying, "Before he left, Qiu Tu called his confidants in for a chat."

"But no one knows what exactly was discussed."

"He has a knack for winning people over. His confidants are very loyal to him. No matter how we probe or inquire, they don't reveal the slightest bit."

Hearing Dai Yukang's words, Ye Mingfeng chuckled, saying, "If that's the case, then it's very likely that Qiu Tu hasn't gone missing, but left of his own accord."

"But... at such a tense moment in Dongye State, his departure as the Deputy Speaker is not only irresponsible but also smacks of desertion from duty."

"So, no matter what urgent matter he went to tend to, he can't escape the accusation of negligence!"

"Unless... he solved the crisis of Muye."

At the end, Ye Mingfeng chuckled himself.

Unfortunately... Dai Yukang did not laugh.

His gaze still fixed outside the window, then he rubbed his tea mug, picked up the tea and took a sip, his expression a bit grave.

If those who disappeared were Tang Feifei, Li Tingdong, or even Liu Xiongyuan... he would think Ye Mingfeng was joking with such speculation.

But... it was indeed Qiu Tu who had disappeared.

Others might not know, but how could he not know what Qiu Tu was capable of?

As a Deputy Director, he plotted to kill Larilo, and subsequently Xie Yue, Whale Shark.

One could say... Qiu Tu is the bane of the Evil Gods. Moreover... extremely adept at getting the better for less.

Now that Qiu Tu has suddenly disappeared, combined with the recent grandiose promises of Huang Shangzong, if he said he wasn't speculating, probably even ghosts wouldn't believe it...

'Could it be that Qiu Tu... is really plotting against Muye?'

'That can't be...'

Dai Yukang's heart was filled with doubts and disbelief...

...

Meanwhile, a similar conversation was taking place in Tang Feifei's office.

Only this time, the conversation was between Tang Feifei and Guan Xiao.

Tang Feifei might have really gotten deep into it. With Qiu Tu's disappearance, she was extremely anxious, her expression so gloomy it seemed almost about to rain.

She sat in her Deputy Director's chair, asking with a stern voice, "Do you really not know where Qiu Tu has gone?"

In front of Tang Feifei, Guan Xiao behaved with utmost obedience. She quickly shook her head, "Chairman Tang, I really don't know."

"But I feel that the Speaker surely hasn't met with an accident."

Tang Feifei stared coldly at her, then said, "You feel? If something really happened to Qiu Tu, can you take responsibility? Can you rescue him back?!"

With that said, Tang Feifei took a deep breath, then continued, "Now the whole Eastern City is in an uproar."

"Everyone in Dongye State's middle and upper echelons has heard about Qiu Tu's disappearance."

"If Qiu Tu cannot provide a satisfactory explanation in the end, when he returns, he's bound to face a multitude of problems..."

Similar talks and speculations quietly spread among cities in Dongye State and between departments.

Just as Tang Feifei and Ye Mingfeng speculated, most of the middle and upper echelons were very dissatisfied with Qiu Tu's "quitting" behavior.

It's just that because it's "wartime" currently, all these conflicts have not erupted.

If Qiu Tu doesn't bring back enough merits when he returns to his post as State Speaker, he will definitely face tumultuous repercussions...

...

Meanwhile, as Dongye State was in an uproar over Qiu Tu's disappearance.

"Boundless Heart Sea - Trade Gathering Area"

Qiu Tu was there, refining the third Leyline Node.

"Trading Market" is the largest marketplace at the edge of the Disaster Zone, so it's relatively vast in size.

This reflects in the "Trade Gathering Area," making it incredibly expansive as well.

Compared to the "Eternal Night Area's" 36 Leyline Nodes, the "Trade Gathering Area" has a total of 108 Leyline Nodes.
