Tan Huimin had been growing more dedicated ever since she became Qiu Tu's assistant, arriving early to wait at the villa gate.
Getting into the car, the two headed toward the Investigation Bureau.
On the road, Tan Huimin said to Qiu Tu, "Minister, Section Chief Guan just tried to call you but couldn't get through, so she called me instead."
Qiu Tu had been deeply immersed in his "lone battle" and hadn't paid attention to the ringing of his phone.
So, leaning back in the rear seat and resting his eyes, he asked, "What did she say?"
While driving, Tan Huimin replied, "She said she reviewed the workgroup's tasks last night."
"There are some important new findings she wants to report to you."
"Also… she mentioned that the spy you had been keeping an eye on has cleared up their matters and returned to the Political Department. She asked what arrangements you have."
Hearing Tan Huimin's words, Qiu Tu was initially stunned,
'His own preferred spy?'
