"Your place?"Having just received a "Crisis Warning," Qiu Tu was now a bit paranoid. So his first thought was... could Liu Fuping be planning to harm him? To arrange their first meeting, such an important guest, at the home of a lover? Was Tang Feifei crazy, was Liu Fuping crazy, or were the two of them plotting some unspeakable activities? Possibly sensing Qiu Tu's wayward thoughts, Liu Fuping gave him a sidelong glance and then said, "Don't get the wrong idea." "Actually... she wanted to have a coincidental meeting with you." As she spoke, Liu Fuping briefly shared Tang Feifei's thoughts with him. Your next read awaits at empire Turns out, Tang Feifei had instructed her assistant, Su Xiaowan, to seek out Qiu Tu twice yesterday, once in the morning and once in the evening, in hopes of arranging a meeting with Qiu Tu, all of which Qiu Tu turned down. Thus, not one to give up easily, she had Su Xiaowan extend another invitation to Qiu Tu this morning, and yet Qiu Tu rejected her for the third time. This left her both infuriated and somewhat baffled as to what Qiu Tu was really thinking. Moreover, the news about Director Yan signing a "Special Arrest Warrant" and an "Authorization Letter" for Qiu Tu had spread among the upper echelons today, and she could no longer sit idly by. So... she then decided to meet Qiu Tu in person. And because of her unique status, and the sensitivity of meeting Qiu Tu alone, she decided to have Liu Fuping invite Qiu Tu over for dinner at her place. Afterward, she would make a visit to Liu Fuping's home during the meal, and thus naturally come face to face with Qiu Tu. After hearing Liu Fuping's explanation, Qiu Tu's first reaction was confusion: Hold on, had he really turned down Tang Feifei three times? If he remembered correctly, he had only refused once yesterday morning, hadn't he? With this in mind, Qiu Tu's brain started working at high speed. A moment later, he had a pretty good guess as to what was happening. If he wasn't mistaken, Tang Feifei must have arranged for Su Xiaowan to meet him last night. However, Su Xiaowan's visit coincided with his meeting with Qin Shuman, which was unexpected. And because Su Xiaowan ended up oversleeping after a late-night assignment, she forgot to convey Tang Feifei's orders. As for the third invitation this morning, Su Xiaowan likely knew of Qiu Tu's "true identity" and some of his thoughts, figured he wouldn't accept, and simply took the liberty of not bothering to seek him out. But, it had to be said, this stroke of bad luck actually worked out for the best. Su Xiaowan's repeated laziness had successfully made Tang Feifei restless and had unintentionally made Qiu Tu's "fishing operation" a tremendous success—she nearly took the bait, hook, line, and sinker. Thinking this way, and having sorted out the whole affair, Qiu Tu snapped back to reality and shamelessly took all the credit, "So that's how it is. Then it seems my plan has worked." "It appears Tang Feifei has taken the bait..." Liu Fuping, believing all this was indeed Qiu Tu's doing, closed the distance between them unwittingly, her eyes seductively lifted to meet his, and teasingly complimented with a hint of suggestiveness, "Yes. I didn't expect her to lose her cool so easily." "It seems... the commander has quite the skills." Hearing Liu Fuping's words, and feeling the heat of her playful fire, Qiu Tu unabashedly played along. He gazed deeply into Liu Fuping's eyes and joked, "Sister Liu, I've got more than just skills~~" After saying that, he winked at Liu Fuping. "Ho ho ho ho...." Liu Fuping laughed so hard her whole body shook, and then she retorted, "Really? So... care for a firsthand experience tonight?" With that, she squinted her eyes, provocatively licked her lips at Qiu Tu. For a moment there... Qiu Tu admitted he was almost on his feet. 'Damn it. Ever since the last time I unraveled this woman's seal, she seems to be playing more and more freely.' seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Cursing inwardly, Qiu Tu didn't hesitate to reach out his hand. 'Who cares if she's reserved or not, only a fool would pass up an opportunity!' Seeing his move, Liu Fuping blushed and swatted Qiu Tu's hand away, spitting, "Shameless." "It's just talk, there's no need for action!" Qiu Tu chuckled "hehe," feeling the satisfaction of gaining the upper hand. Seeing Qiu Tu's brazenness, Liu Fuping shook her head slightly, feeling that no matter what she did, she ended up at a disadvantage. Therefore, she stopped teasing Qiu Tu and turned to open the window, letting in fresh air to dispel the flirtatious atmosphere a bit. The cool breeze indeed helped the two overheated individuals cool down, and they were finally in the mood to discuss serious matters. Qiu Tu, enjoying the cool breeze, looked out the window and calmly asked, "Did you tell Tang Feifei about the leads you've found over the past two days?" Liu Fuping nodded slightly, "I did as you said, and secretly reported most of the information to her." She paused, "I guess that's probably why she couldn't stay put—a big reason for her restlessness." Qiu Tu nodded slightly, his hands resting on the window sill before he fell into contemplation. After a moment, he asked, "So, did you manage to steal any intelligence from her?" Liu Fuping hesitated before responding, "I did steal a bit, but not much." Qiu Tu felt she was lying to him, but he didn't call her out on it. He looked at Liu Fuping and asked, "Is there a list of spies from the Investigation Bureau in City Hall or the military?" At Qiu Tu's question, Liu Fuping visibly startled. She then looked Qiu Tu up and down with suspicion and hesitantly said, "You... are you also?" Qiu Tu chuckled and tapped her on the head, "What are you thinking about?" "Of course I'm not one of their scouts, but... I want to work with them." "And to collaborate, one needs leverage." "As you know, this case is far too complex and unique." Upon hearing this, Liu Fuping fell silent for a moment before saying, "It would be quite difficult to get that list." "After all, the identity of a spy is top-level confidential information for any organization." "It's not just about whether Tang Feifei can get it or not. Even if she could, she'd most likely keep it in her head instead of putting it down on paper." Qiu Tu nodded in agreement. Liu Fuping's reasoning made sense. However, Qin Shuman was his important ally, and now they were working together on the Yin Caimei case. Helping Qin Shuman was helping himself, so he still wanted to give it a try... With that thought, Qiu Tu's mind raced, as he schemed on how to obtain that list. After considering this for a while, a plan began to take shape in Qiu Tu's mind: It seemed that everything would depend on tonight... At this thought, Qiu Tu gave Liu Fuping's plump buttocks a firm slap and said, "Alright, forget about that for now! Tonight, we go to your place and meet with Director Tang!" Liu Fuping was so startled by Qiu Tu's sudden attack that she nearly jumped. She clutched her plump bottom and glared at Qiu Tu, her face flushed with embarrassment and annoyance. She realized that her superior officer was a naughty rascal. He would take advantage with his words if he could and with his hands if he had the chance, never bothering to conceal it. Furthermore, as long as she gave him a chance, he would take it. Even without an opportunity, he would find a way to create one—it was both embarrassing and frustrating. 'Such an annoying, naughty rascal...' she thought. Thinking this, Liu Fuping once again glanced at Qiu Tu with a coy look in her eye, ..... She locked the documents and files in the safe, turned off the lights, and left her office. Qiu Tu and Liu Fuping left the Investigation Bureau building and headed towards her home. Liu Fuping's residence was located in an upscale residential district not far from the Investigation Bureau building. This was built before and after Xinjie City's establishment, renovated and reconstructed by the wealthy merchants from the Sanctuary. While it couldn't compare to the villas of middle and high-ranking officials, it was already much better than other neighborhoods in Xinjie City in terms of the living environment. Driving into the district, Qiu Tu parked the car under Liu Fuping's guidance beneath a Western-style building. After parking, Qiu Tu followed Liu Fuping up to the third floor. This Western-style building had only one apartment per floor, and upon opening the door, there was a spacious flat of over 150 square meters. Qiu Tu, having never lived in such a fine residence in either of his lives, admired Liu Fuping's home while exclaiming in wonder, "Sister Liu, is Director Tang wealthy or is it your organization behind the scenes that has money?" "Your place is simply like a palace." Liu Fuping laughed at Qiu Tu's exaggerated tone, "My place is like a palace? What would you say if you saw the villas of Director Yan and Director Tang?" Qiu Tu said with a smile, "I've seen them. But back then, there was only one thought in my mind." Liu Fuping was curious, "What thought?" Qiu Tu said in mock resentment, "Excessive luxury! Reckless extravagance! Living in a dream! Reveling in pleasure!" "Having those bastards as bureau chiefs is really an injustice by heaven! If I were the bureau chief..." Liu Fuping asked with curiosity, "What would you do?" Qiu Tu said earnestly, "I would be an even bigger bastard!" "Ho ho ho ho....." Liu Fuping was so amused by Qiu Tu that she shook with laughter, waves following one after another, almost unable to straighten her back. Qiu Tu, thus, enjoyed another glimpse of the charms of a mature woman... Knowing that Tang Feifei would be arriving soon, they didn't chat much more. Liu Fuping prepared several dishes according to Tang Feifei's plan, placed them on the dining table, then uncorked a bottle of red wine of an undetermined vintage for them to enjoy. After that, they sat opposite each other at the dining table and started their dinner. Liu Fuping's cooking wasn't terrible, at least not fatal. However, Qiu Tu had barely taken a few bites when his body suddenly tensed, and all the hairs on his body stood on end!
