He gestured for the beautiful maid to continue changing his clothes, then picked up the phone.
As soon as the call connected, Guan Xiao's voice came through the receiver.
"Speaker. You're back?"
This time, Qiu Tu hadn't informed anyone about his operation. But as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, any intelligence work would eventually end up in Guan Xiao's hands. So Qiu Tu wasn't surprised she knew his movements over the past few days.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "I'm back."
On the other end, Guan Xiao replied with a sweet, charming laugh, "First of all, congratulations, Speaker, on your victory. One battle securing more than a decade of peace for the Northwestern Region."
Besides her capability, Guan Xiao's greatest asset was how much emotional value she provided others.
So the smile on Qiu Tu's face deepened.
He waved away the beautiful maid who'd helped him dress, then walked toward the window as he asked, "Alright, get to the point. What is it?"
