Hearing Lin Zuo's words, Qiu Tu's gaze flickered, and he fell silent for a moment.He recalled his entire conversation with Larilo in the dream. It had to be said... truly worthy of being an Evil God who toyed and manipulated Old Master Qin for decades—Larilo indeed had some tricks up her sleeve. From the moment she pulled him into the dream, she almost completely dictated the pace of the entire conversation. From taking the initiative at the beginning, forcing him to become her devout follower; to exposing his identity; then revealing the secret that Jia Shu was her follower; and finally, disclosing Jia Shu's plan to kill him forcefully! Step by step, layer upon layer, she continuously pressured Qiu Tu, pushing him to submit to her. Putting aside whether what she said was true or false, just her skill at manipulating people's hearts was no weaker than Qiu Tu's. Moreover, her understanding of Qiu Tu was clearly much greater than his understanding of her. Therefore, in their initial clash, Qiu Tu was immediately overwhelmed. 'I didn't lose unjustly this time....' Thinking thus, Qiu Tu's gaze grew dimmer as he reflected in the dark… Since his arrival in this world, although Qiu Tu had been constantly surrounded by crises, everything had gone smoothly thanks to his various cunning maneuvers. Especially by leveraging his advantage in information and his familiarity with the human heart, Qiu Tu had managed to play all the big shots and numerous forces at will. This had gradually led to complacency within him. He believed that as long as he continued like this, he would eventually climb to the summit. But this defeat made him vigilant once again. With such a vast world and so many experts, he was far from the point where he could afford to be proud or relax! With these thoughts, Qiu Tu, now calmer, didn't immediately start to recall and ponder the information that Larilo revealed in her words. First, he gave a reassuring smile to the people gathered around him, then gave a simple explanation to Lin Zuo, "Indeed, I was pulled into a dream by that Evil God and had a brief exchange with her." "But no worries, she didn't harm me, and she probably hasn't used any techniques on me." As he spoke, the several agents from the Security Department finally finished their thorough examination of Qiu Tu. They stood up from the bed and shook their heads toward Lin Zuo. Seeing this, Lin Zuo looked at Qiu Tu expressionlessly and inquired, "Then... did you obtain any information?" Qiu Tu didn't deny it, "I did. But it needs to be sorted out first." "I'll ponder over it for a while. Once I have results, I'll share them with you." Lin Zuo, who was not the type to probe too deeply, nodded upon hearing this and then said to Qiu Tu, "It must have taken a fair amount of energy for the Evil God to enter your dreams." "After seeking you out tonight, she likely won't come for a second time." "So, you should rest well." Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded.... After Lin Zuo and his delegation left, Qiu Tu stood up and walked out to the balcony of the bedroom. It was now deep autumn; the night breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness. Qiu Tu leaned on the balcony railing, gazing at the scenery outside. He reached into his pocket for a cigarette, only to realize he was wearing pajamas with no pockets. Just then, Liu Fuping quietly walked up behind him, draped a sleeping robe over him, and then handed him a box of cigarettes. Qiu Tu glanced down at the woman beside him. Worry filled her eyes. Qiu Tu smiled, smoothed her hair, then lit a cigarette while embracing her slender waist. He squinted and smoked quietly... The glowing cigarette end flickered with his breath against the night sky, rhythmically appearing and disappearing, much like his now settled mood.... In the bedroom, Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng saw the harmonious scene on the balcony and exchanged a glance, then quietly left the villa.... After they left, Liu Fuping snuggled up to Qiu Tu and asked with concern, "Is the situation very complicated?" At her words, a bitter smile appeared on Qiu Tu's face. It's not just complicated—it's like a puzzle.... Firstly, one thing Qiu Tu could be certain of was... there must be an internal spy in the Investigation Bureau. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The simplest reason was, Larilo knew him too well, almost as if she had studied him for a long time. But Qiu Tu... was almost certain that it wasn't Wang Xi who told her. There were two reasons. First, before yesterday, Qiu Tu and Larilo were almost unrelated in Wang Xi's view. It was only after Wang Xi learned about Qiu Tu's promotion and his responsibility for the "8.16 Pharmacy Robbery Case" last night that he began to feel wary. And according to what Qiu Tu knew about Wang Xi and Suit Man, Wang Xi seemed to meet with Suit Man only on weekends. Plus, it didn't seem like Wang Xi had the means to contact Larilo directly, so even if Wang Xi had intended to report Qiu Tu's situation to Larilo, he likely hadn't had the chance to do so yet. Second, and more importantly, Qiu Tu remembered a memory fragment of Wang Xi that he had once reviewed. In that memory fragment, Suit Man had received a hint from Larilo not long after the Security Department began its substantial arrest operation, instructing him to start a plan. That day, Qiu Tu didn't ask Wang Xi to help in the Bureau, and Wang Xi had stayed with Suit Man throughout. This indicated that there must be a fourth person signaling to Larilo, alerting her to the major upheaval in Xinjie City's upper echelons that night! Moreover, that person must be from the middle or upper levels of the Investigation Bureau. After all... the operations that night, although significant, weren't something ordinary people could know about.
