Qiu Tu's voice was very light, but it jolted Tang Feifei awake from her sowhat hazy gaze.
Her eyes widened, and she looked at Qiu Tu with a bit of disbelief.
At the sa ti, Qiu Tu also suddenly felt as if a mysterious and powerful force had descended upon him, as if it were going to crush him.
Qiu Tu struggled to maintain his composure, and quietly looked back at Tang Feifei.
The two of them locked eyes like this, one second, two seconds, three seconds…
The atmosphere at the dinner table seed to have frozen.
Just like that, after staring at each other for a good four or five seconds, a smile suddenly appeared on Tang Feifei's wheat-colored face.
By now, there was not a trace of confusion in her eyes, only the utmost rationality.
She looked at Qiu Tu with interest and said, "I didn't expect this... Chief Qiu really has so tricks up his sleeve."
With a reminiscent look in her eyes, she then carefully said, "If I'm not mistaken, from the very start of our conversation, you've been deliberately leading the topic…"
"First, you tell about a feasible target, to arouse my interest; then you create a crisis for , letting realize that if I continue to allow Yan Chen and Jia Shu to have their way, my future will be even more difficult; and finally, you throw Jia Shu's weak points at , letting know where to start!"
"So, when I go back tonight, I just need to do a simple investigation to find that everything is under control, and then I'll take action."
"As for you… you're just drunkenly complaining about a few things. Whether this matter succeeds or not has nothing to do with you."
"You're still the darling favorite of Yan Chen and Jia Shu!"
"What a brilliant stroke of using soone else's hand to kill! Brilliant!"
By the end, Tang Feifei even gave a light round of applause.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu's heart lurched: Damn it... Is the [Lucky Joker Card] so kind of counterfeit treasure?!
It was supposed to guide in what to say, but after I spoke out, it ended up alerting Tang Feifei?!
This is screwing over!
Could it be... that in order to extract the na list, what I need is to showcase myself and then attract Tang Feifei?
Can this really work?
While pondering the feasibility of this idea, Qiu Tu's brain raced as he looked for counterasures.
After a mont, he had made up his mind.
He simply stopped pretending; his eyes were no longer hazy, his body no longer swayed. He wiped his face, sat up straight with a smile, and looked at Tang Feifei, praising, "Director Tang is really remarkable."
"All my little tricks have been seen through by you."
If it was only that Tang Feifei was bluffing Qiu Tu just now and hadn't been 100% sure of the truth, now she truly believed she had been led by the nose by Qiu Tu since the mont she sat down at the table.
In that instant, she felt both the shaful irritation of being played by Qiu Tu and a strong desire to "hunt"!
Her whole deanor surged with energy, like a female leopard that has spotted especially interesting prey!
She looked at Qiu Tu with great interest, her eyes burning with a heat that almost seed to spill over, "So... Chief Qiu has actually been dissatisfied with Yan Chen and Jia Shu for a while now?"
Qiu Tu quickly waved his hands, pretending to be scared, and said, "Director Tang, that's slander!"
"I never said such things!"
Afterward, Qiu Tu's expression changed, and he said with a smile, "I just don't like my fate being in the hands of others, that's all."
He paused, then answered Tang Feifei using her words, "And as you said at the beginning: The mont they handed the Yin Caii case over to , they had actually already given up on ..."
"Though I'm unwilling to betray them, but... it's always fine to protect myself a little, right?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's rhetorical question, the interest in Tang Feifei's eyes grew even greater, and she asked, "So... have you switched sides to the Security Departnt?"
Qiu Tu shook his head, "Not at all."
"It's just a simple collaboration."
Qiu Tu said seriously, "The Security Departnt is interested in the Yin Caii case, and I needed soone to share the pressure."
"So, it was a perfect match for both sides."
"As for... how I got connected with the Security Departnt."
Qiu Tu glanced at Tang Feifei, "It was Minister Jia who took the initiative to connect ; he even taught how to gain the trust of the Security Departnt."
"I had contact with the Security Departnt before, so he wanted to be a double agent, to gather intelligence from them."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei frowned slightly, obviously not expecting such a scenario.
She didn't suspect Qiu Tu of lying to her: there wasn't much value in hiding such a matter. Because whether it was Jia Shu who connected him or not, the fact that Qiu Tu was playing both sides was indisputable.
So, Tang Feifei teased, "So, would you say that Jia Shu tripped himself up?"
Qiu Tu drank his liquor and said with a smile, "You could say that."
Tang Feifei looked at him, just gazing, and after a mont, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she gestured with her hand, "Tell your plan."
"What do you intend to do?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu didn't hesitate, and he said earnestly, "I don't have a plan. I just... want to proceed with this case, to see those insiders get the punishnt they deserve!"
"Since my power is too weak, I can't solve this case alone. So I will unite more people, to tackle this case together!"
Now that it had co to this, Qiu Tu didn't hide anything anymore.
He picked up three glass cups, placed them on the table, and then said seriously, "These three glass cups represent the possible three accomplices in this case and their corresponding resistance."
He picked up the first glass, "This is Vice President Tian and the forces behind him."
Qiu Tu said, "Since I am constrained by Jia Shu, I can't investigate this direction. But if the Security Departnt is interested, then I will leave it to them to investigate."
Qiu Tu picked up the second glass cup, "This is Jia Shu. He's my superior, and I can't investigate him either."
Qiu Tu placed this glass cup in front of Tang Feifei, "Therefore, I've co to you, hoping you will deal with or control him."
Having said that, Qiu Tu picked up the third glass cup, gesturing, "This is... the real criminal in this case."
"As long as both of you achieve results, or draw enough energy from the other two parties, then I can take him down naturally!"
Finishing his point, Qiu Tu stacked the three glass cups on top of each other, "And if things go well, if the three of us don't hold each other back, then capturing them all isn't a dream!"
After that, Qiu Tu picked up the three glass cups and smashed them to the ground!
With a "smash!" the glasses broke upon impact, and shards scattered all over the floor!
Liu Fuping, who had been confused by the sudden change of events, finally ca to her senses. She covered her mouth with her hands, looking at the shattered glass on the floor with a pained expression, even forgetting to continue studying.
At this mont, Tang Feifei's gaze beca even more intense!
She looked at Qiu Tu, feeling more and more that he suited her tastes!
It was as if all the blood in her body began to boil, causing her eyes to sparkle with an orange light!
She gazed into Qiu Tu's eyes, speaking resolutely, "State your conditions. Besides wanting to cooperate, you must also want sothing from , right?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu looked straight into Tang Feifei's eyes and said decisively, "I want Yan Chen's spy list in the military, or part of it."
"This is a foundation for my cooperation with the Security Departnt."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei's gaze narrowed slightly.
Her brows furrowed.
After a mont, as if she had thought of sothing, she asked tentatively, "Is it because Jia Shu wants to clear out the military spies? So, the military wants to make a trade?"
Qiu Tu nodded.
Tang Feifei smiled; her orange eyes glowed slightly, "I can agree to that."
"But... I have an additional condition."
Having said that, she didn't wait for Qiu Tu to speak, but suddenly said to Liu Fuping, "Fuping, go out."
Liu Fuping, still upset about the glass, heard this, paused for a mont, then looked at Tang Feifei and... was filled with question marks: ??
