The sky seed gently covered by a layer of profound gray silk, the moonlight clear and soft, casting a blue radiance upon the earth.
Beneath the shroud of nightfall on Longshan Road, within the living room of Shen Lingshuang's villa.
Qiu Tu and Shen Lingshuang sat opposite each other.
Shen Lingshuang cradled the chubby Xiao Bai in her arms, pursing her lips as she stroked the dog's fur.
anwhile, Qiu Tu sat across from her, exhibiting no signs of discomfort.
Being a scumbag is just like being a con artist, you should have the basic professional ethics: no ethics...
If a woman feels aggrieved, sad, heartbroken, you beco tender-hearted. Then...
What about the other won? You simply couldn't allocate your ti to them all.
Who wouldn't want to monopolize all of a man's ti?
So, faced with Shen Lingshuang's deliberate show of anger, Qiu Tu remained incredibly calm.
Shen Lingshuang said nothing, and he followed suit.
Shen Lingshuang petted the dog, and Qiu Tu... caressed Shen Lingshuang's leg.
It was only after Shen Lingshuang's waist softened from Qiu Tu's touching and her face flushed red that she could no longer hold back.
Her face reddened as she glared at Qiu Tu, "You, you, you're really shaless!"
"Just touching without saying a word!"
At this mont, Qiu Tu looked up at her in feigned bewildernt, "Ah? You didn't speak, I thought you liked it."
Shen Lingshuang glared at Qiu Tu, then retracted her slender legs and sat down on her cute bottom.
Then, still pouting cutely, she said, "I just can't be bothered to deal with you."
She muttered under her breath, "Previously, you released from the Public Security Office, tricking into thinking you were giving freedom. But in reality, you had concoct the 'Cataclysmic Awakening Potion.'"
"After I finished the potion, you left at ho, for over ten days at a ti."
"Then, you started to get the wrong idea, touching and kissing , and even... using your leg..."
"And after that, you were gone again for half a month."
"Just when I thought you were back, you dumped a pile of Cataclysmic Materials and left without speaking much."
"And then you vanished again for another ten days."
"I have no idea what you consider . Your personal alchemist? Your personal forger? A little nanny at ho?"
Won are creatures who often don't an what they say.
If they are truly angry, they would ignore you outright or simply leave.
But when they start to talk, it mostly ans they've cald down quite a bit.
So, despite how much Shen Lingshuang prattled on, it proved that she still wanted to properly interact with Qiu Tu.
So, Qiu Tu took the opportunity to climb up the stick.
He plopped down next to Shen Lingshuang, shooing Xiao Bai to the ground, then wrapped his arms around Shen Lingshuang's shoulders and reassured her, "I've been busy..."
"I've handled several big cases recently and took down a few enemies."
"My position keeps getting higher."
Speaking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but boast a little, "Guess, what is my position now?"
The last ti Qiu Tu had shared his position with Shen Lingshuang, he was just the Deputy Head of the Political Departnt.
In a short span of ti, he had climbed the ranks again, and so he presud Shen Lingshuang would never guess.
Yet to his surprise, Shen Lingshuang pouted, glanced at Qiu Tu, and said haughtily, "What else could it be?"
"Acting Bureau Chief, of course."
Qiu Tu was taken aback, then looked at Shen Lingshuang in surprise, "You already know?"
The young girl leaned lightly on Qiu Tu's shoulder and said coyly, "Of course, I know."
"After you beca the Head of the Political Departnt, I suddenly had many friends around ."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at her.
Perhaps it was the age of growth. Not having been in contact with the girl for over a month, she seed to have grown a bit more.
Though still sowhat green, her eyes and brows had taken on a few more traces of a woman's charm. Her large eyes, still clear, contained a hint of the lancholy of a young girl in love.
Perhaps having just bathed, her jet-black, lustrous hair draped over Qiu Tu's shoulder, carrying a light fragrance. Occasionally, a few strands tickled Qiu Tu's cheek, causing an itching sensation.
"Friends? What friends?"
Shen Lingshuang stretched out her hand, counting off on her delicate fingers, "Neighbor Aunt Wang. Aunt Liu across the way. Sister Tian who likes to do handcrafts. Sister Xie who loves cooking…"
"So many."
Qiu Tu was taken aback, "They are all...?"
Shen Lingshuang nodded and precociously said, "They're all people who want to curry favor with you."
Her eyes glead, "Longshan Road was previously the center of power in Xinjie City. After the Sanctuary arrived, they all lost their influence."
"So, they want to hitch their wagon to a new person of influence, to recover their forr glory."
"And you... an executive from the Investigation Bureau and a local of Xinjie City, obviously beca their pri target."
Saying this, Shen Lingshuang continued, "Of course… they did not expect your rise to happen so swiftly."
"So, their gradual plans got a bit disrupted. When they ca to see , the changes in their expressions were almost too obvious to hide."
"So... after a few probing questions, I was able to find everything out~~" Saying this, Shen Lingshuang pouted smugly.
Hearing this, Qiu Tu glanced at Shen Lingshuang in his arms in surprise.
To be honest... although Qiu Tu had long known that Shen Lingshuang was smart and understood many things because of her family background.
But perhaps because her potion refining seed unreliable, he had never considered her to be a dependable assistant.
But... just by interacting with those from Longshan Road and The Five Elders, she was able to guess so much insider information and even extract so much information.
Qiu Tu suddenly had a refreshed impression of her — this young lady seed to have sothing. Worth developing...
Conveniently, Qiu Tu had already beco the Deputy Director and was serving as Acting Bureau Chief. His responsibilities were ever-growing, and he needed more assistants to lend him a hand.
