Let them offer their loyalty!

So, there is no theoretical difference in this technology between cloning a man and cloning a woman.

Qiu Tu speculated that the reason why the Qin Family told the outside world that their technology was "Cloned Female Body" was probably just to make the technology sound more salacious and more likely to attract the attention of those lecherous big shots.

However... don't these cloned bodies have very short lifespans? If Old Master Qin and Deputy Director Bai were to enter cloned bodies, wouldn't they die again very soon?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu also voiced his doubts.

It was only from Bai Ru's words that Qiu Tu understood the strength of the Qin Family's "Cloning Technology".

According to Bai Ru, the Qin Family's technology was actually very powerful and was one of the world's cutting-edge technologies before the Cataclysm.

The reason for this was that the technology, apart from cloning and gene editing, also allowed for "Forced Maturation" of the cloned bodies.

"Forced maturation" could rapidly grow a clone into an adult individual in just a year or two.

Of course, the cost and drawbacks of such "forced maturation" were also significant. Aside from consuming a vast amount of resources, the lifespans of the forced matured individuals would often be significantly shortened, and their cognition of the world and thinking would also have certain gaps compared to ordinary people.

But if "forced maturation" technology was not used, then the cloned individuals could grow like normal people, not only consuming less resources, but also having lifespans no different from ordinary people.

In this way, a normally grown individual could become the perfect "container".

After listening to Bai Ru's narrative, Qiu Tu involuntarily thought of the profligate son that was said to be born from the Qin Family's Fifth House's legitimate wife.

Qiu Tu remembered that the Qin Family's Fifth House was not very old, only in his teens. Compared to the four brothers of the Qin family, he was practically from a different generation.

But then... going by the timeline, wasn't that exactly when Old Master Qin had started his fortune and began preparing for the future?

Could it be... he was Old Master Qin?

With that thought... Qiu Tu's brain whirred.

After a moment, he felt something was off.

If Qin Family's Fifth House was Old Master Qin, then the distribution of power within the Qin family couldn't possibly be what it was now!

If Old Master Qin had already revealed the secret of his "immortality" to Bai Ru's father, then it proved that it was not a secret that could be shared with just anyone.

Therefore, even if he had entered the body of a clone that was only a teenager, he could still remotely control the Qin Family, rather than becoming a profligate son who only knew how to play around wildly and was ignorant.

This did not conform to the logic of power dynamics.

So... in fact, as long as one knows who is currently in charge of the Qin Family, that person should be the real Old Master Qin.

Following this line of thought, Qiu Tu suddenly felt stunned.

So, was it... Commissioner Qin?!

Thinking of this simple yet the most unlikely and the hardest for outsiders to suspect possibility... Qiu Tu was somewhat flabbergasted.

He couldn't help but look at Bai Ru and tentatively asked, "So... Old Master Qin is now... Qin Heng, Commissioner Qin?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Bai Ru too was a bit bewildered.

She recalled everything she had just said, and there seemed to be no inkling that Qin Heng was Old Master Qin.

Moreover, all they had discussed thus far was her own father's "immortality". How did Qiu Tu suddenly guess Old Master Qin's identity?

However, despite her many doubts, under the rules of the "Order Room", she could only answer Qiu Tu's question truthfully.

So she said uncontrollably, "Yes. Old Master Qin is now Qin Heng, Commissioner Qin."

Bai Ru's eyes held a touch of reminiscence as she spoke weakly, "I've always been a bit surprised about Old Master Qin choosing Qin Heng, Commissioner Qin."

"It was my father who explicitly addressed it for me." Your journey continues at empire

"He meant that Old Master Qin had actually groomed a cloned body for his own immortality, which is Qin Wuyi."

"But when Old Master Qin died, that body was too young, not fully matured yet,"

"Furthermore, handing over the family business to a young child would too easily stir up dissatisfaction within the family and attract the covetous gaze of outside wolves. That's why, for his first body switch, he chose Qin Heng, who at that time wasn't yet a commissioner,"

"As Old Master Qin's eldest son, Qin Heng had the strongest legitimacy to inherit the Qin Family, which was least likely to arouse suspicion from outsiders. And because of his age, he could command respect from both the family and outsiders, and could smoothly take over the political assets left by Old Master Qin,"

"The only drawback: an unhealthy body, which, in the case of merely being a 'transition,' actually counted as a bonus point,"

"After all, once Qin Wuyi came of age and all the roads were paved, the unhealthy Qin Heng could drop dead at any moment,"

"By then, Qin Heng's children would still be young, and the other brothers each had their own businesses, so it would be only natural for the matured and well-prepared Qin Wuyi to inherit Qin Heng's political status and family position,"

After listening to Bai Ru's recounting, Qiu Tu had only one thought in mind: indeed, a self-made magnate is ruthless and resolute.

To kill his son, sleep with his daughter-in-law, plot against his "grandson's" inheritance. He was capable of committing such cutthroat acts!

But upon further thought, since Old Master Qin could live "forever," it seemed he really didn't need to care about the life and death of his descendants.

After all, as long as he preserved his own genes, he could live on and on forever....

With this realization, Qiu Tu suddenly gained a deeper understanding of the entire case.

Anti-government armed forces, immortality, cloned female body, "God"....

The more he delved into the case, the more Qiu Tu realized it contained far too many secrets.

Fortunately, he had the opportunity to unearth it all!

Thinking this, he no longer felt like teasing Bai Ru; instead, he called Liu Fuping to take her away.

After going through Qiu Tu's private interrogation, Bai Ru was somewhat delirious, as if she had undergone a spiritual baptism.

It wasn't until Liu Fuping escorted her to the guard room that she suddenly snapped awake: Wait a minute! Wasn't I negotiating and trading interests with Qiu Tu?!

How did it become a one-sided provision of information?!

At this thought, Bai Ru covered her face with her hands, feeling utterly useless....

She squatted down, burying her head in her knees, with only one hope in her heart: hoping that the secrets she had just revealed wouldn't bring trouble to her father....

Hadn't Qiu Tu seemed to promise that as long as she behaved well, he wouldn't go after her father?

With this thought, a faint glimmer of hope sparked within Bai Ru.

And.... Meanwhile.

Qiu Tu, left alone in the interrogation room, deactivated his Cataclysmic ability while sending a message to Eagle, who was out arresting people with Cao Dabiao, "New target: Deputy Director Bai Yongdong."

A moment later, Eagle replied with two characters, "Received."

This time, the use of his ability might have been too lengthy. As he deactivated his Cataclysmic ability, Qiu Tu felt as if his spiritual power had been completely drained!

His head was dizzy, and it even felt as if there was a pump in his brain, incessantly squeezing his soul.

Thus, without delay, he took out the prepared Nightmare Crystal Vial, opened it, and downed the liquid within!

As the liquid entered his throat, Qiu Tu immediately felt a cool relief washing from his stomach to his brain. In just a moment, the emptiness in his brain was significantly alleviated....

Sitting back in the judge's seat, Qiu Tu slowly relieved his discomfort while also beginning to consider the benefits he could gain from this case, according to plan.

As a deeply rooted major household in Xinjie City, the Qin Family's sphere of influence was incredibly vast.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
