Qiu Tu's suspicion wasn't without reason.
Because of her background, Tan Huimin had always felt a little invisible at the Investigation Bureau.
She didn't really know anyone, nor did she have many information sources.
It was only recently, after she became Qiu Tu's secretary—the key node in Qiu Tu's faction—and with Qiu Tu deliberately cultivating her, that she gradually built up her own intelligence network.
But… an intelligence network can't appear out of nowhere; it always expands through trusted associates, spreading in a web via people leading people.
Yet, the people Tan Huimin can interact with now shouldn't possibly have access to core secrets at the state level.
That's why Qiu Tu was puzzled by the source of Tan Huimin's information.
Sure enough, as she heard Qiu Tu's question, Tan Huimin explained softly while driving, "Minister, it was a judge who claimed her surname was Liu who told me."
