Then let them offer their loyalty!

"If I wait a couple of days, let's see if I can turn the tables on you."

Qiu Tu was a little afraid of Tang Feifei, but he was really not afraid of Liu Fuping.

So he hissed and said, "Sister Liu, your skills have improved a lot in just a few days."

"Waiting for a day when we can settle this with a duel?"

Liu Fuping smiled slightly and readily agreed, "Okay."

Qiu Tu keenly noticed the smile on Liu Fuping's lips.

His heart skipped a beat.

Damn it, have I been tricked?

Is this young woman such a quick learner? Not only has she mastered her deception skills, but she's even learned how to manipulate emotions?

Just as Qiu Tu was marveling at Liu Fuping's progress, Liu Fuping, having achieved her goal, smiled and took out a specially made communicator from her pocket, and began making a call right in front of Qiu Tu.

Although Liu Fuping did not avoid him, Qiu Tu still gave her enough respect.

He released his grip on Liu Fuping's chest, then got up and went to the window, lit a cigarette, and began to ponder quietly.

A short while later, Liu Fuping finished her phone call and got up to come to Qiu Tu.

Reaching out to put her arm around Qiu Tu's, pulling it close to her chest, Liu Fuping said softly, "Secretary Tao said she has time tomorrow morning. She can meet with you."

"When the time comes, you can go directly to the house across from the investigation department to find her."

"As for Director Liu..."

Liu Fuping paused for a moment, "I told him that you had clues about that case from back then. But he clearly didn't quite believe me."

"Therefore, I need to wait for his further decision."

Getting one of the two things done is enough for Qiu Tu.

So he reached out and put his arm around Liu Fuping's waist, gazing at the New Territories city, which had been overcast for two days and was finally experiencing rain, lost in thought...

......

After confirming the meeting time with Secretary Tao with Liu Fuping.

Qiu Tu first drove Liu Fuping home, and then politely declined Liu Fuping's offer to come up and do something.

He drove away, claiming he didn't want his child to be eaten.

Liu Fuping was left downstairs blushing and stamping her feet in embarrassment.

Actually, if it were any other time, Qiu Tu wouldn't mind going up there and discussing with Liu Fuping another way of procreation.

However... he hadn't forgotten that although he was on the verge of a promotion, he was also facing numerous dangers.

He was threatened from the front by the evil god Lariro, threatened from behind by the alliance that was preparing to raid his home base, and threatened by an unknown mysterious figure lurking nearby.

Therefore, he must go home first and make proper arrangements for Shen Lingshuang.

He didn't want to be conquering territory on the front lines only to have his own backyard catch fire.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu glanced at the "Crisis Countdown" icon in the upper left corner of his screen.

[The Appreciation of an Evil God (52 hours)]

[The Alliance's Revenge (9 Days)]

【Threat in the Dark (∞)】

Then... I stepped on the gas and headed towards the old alleyway...

Even though it was raining, the night market in the old alley was still bustling, with stalls selling goods everywhere and people haggling over prices.

This night market has successfully increased the income of the neighborhood residents. However, it has also made the area a mixed bag and less safe.

Guang Qiutu saw more than one pickpocket loitering there. There were also some suspected gang members staking out the area.

'It seems...it's time to leave the old alleyways.'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu stopped the car, opened his umbrella, walked through the bustling night market, and went home.

When Qiu Tu arrived at his door, before he could even knock, he heard clanging and banging sounds coming from inside, as if someone was knocking on something.

Is Shen Lingshuang tearing the house apart?

While mentally complaining, Qiu Tu took out his key and opened the door.

What he saw was Shen Lingshuang sweating profusely as she assembled a somewhat dilapidated workbench.

She was busy tapping here and there with a large wooden mallet in her hand.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Ling Shuang realized that Qiu Tu had actually gone home!

She looked up at Qiu Tu with a surprised expression and said, "Qiu Tu! You're back!"

The girl's eyes were bright, as if they held stars...

Still 3 chapters, 1 words each. Chapter 3 will be updated around 20 PM. Love you all~

Chapter 182 (10,000 words, please subscribe!)

Hearing the girl's words, Qiu Tu smiled and nodded, then continued to ask as he closed the door, "What are you doing?"

Shen Lingshuang said with a grin, "I received two interesting pieces of cataclysmic materials on the black market yesterday."

"I'm thinking of making it into a cataclysmic artifact."

"So today I went and bought another crafting table for Cataclysmic Treasures, thinking I'd give it a try."

Qiu Tu was taken aback for a moment, and said with some surprise, "You can also create cataclysmic artifacts?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Ling Shuang immediately became smug.

She jumped off the workbench, head held high, hands on her hips, and said with a proud expression,

"This young lady is always unconventional~~ Fortune telling, face reading, appraisal, alchemy, beast taming, treasure crafting! She knows it all, and is proficient in everything~~"

As the saying goes, "In the world of martial arts, having many skills is never a burden."

Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile when he saw her adorable appearance.

Regardless of whether Shen Lingshuang truly knows how to create cataclysmic artifacts, Qiu Tu felt it was worth it just from the emotional value she provided him.

After several tiring days and life-or-death battles, seeing Shen Lingshuang seemed to lessen my fatigue.

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu gave himself a thumbs up and said, "Sure. Since you want to try something new, I'll definitely support you wholeheartedly."

At this point, Qiu Tu thought for a moment, then took out several pieces of catastrophe materials he had obtained from the [Crisis Treasure Chest] and handed them to Shen Lingshuang.

Shen Ling Shuang was clearly a little surprised as she reached out and took the few pieces of cataclysmic materials.

She exclaimed, "Memory clay? Giant beast ashes? Nameless tombstone powder?"

"Where did you get so many good things?"

Seeing that Shen Lingshuang accurately identified several cataclysmic materials for making cataclysmic artifacts, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

Regardless of whether Shen Lingshuang can make good things, just by looking at her ability to identify these materials, Qiu Tu can be sure that Shen Lingshuang has really studied them.

Thinking this to himself, Qiu Tu casually said, "I bought it on a whim while on a mission."

Shen Lingshuang was clearly skeptical. "Putting everything else aside, just look at that 'memory clay.' That's a disaster-resistant material that's hard to find even in shelters. You can just buy it so easily in the unplanned area?"

Upon hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall the "crisis sense" description of memory clay.

In my memory, the word used to describe "crisis awareness" is "precious".

In addition, he remembered that this cataclysmic material could be used to make a wide variety of cataclysmic artifacts, indicating that it had a wide range of uses.

Therefore, it's understandable that shelters are so scarce.

However, despite having a more intuitive understanding of the value of memory clay, Qiu Tu did not change his story.

He even joked, "If you can't buy a shelter, why can't you buy one in a planned development area?"

"Isn't the purpose of the planned area to collect resources for the shelters?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Ling Shuang thought for a moment and nodded cutely, "What you said makes sense."

Seeing this, Qiu Tu chimed in, "Besides, what's a few pieces of disaster materials? I'm even planning to buy a villa."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Ling Shuang's doe-like eyes widened instantly. She looked at Qiu Tu in astonishment and exclaimed, "Qiu Tu, you've struck it rich?!"

After speaking, Shen Lingshuang reflexively looked at Qiu Tu's epaulets.

When they met last time, Shen Lingshuang didn't notice Qiu Tu's epaulets.

Looking at it now, she was surprised to find that Qiu Tu had actually been promoted to section chief!

She remembered that when she first met Qiu Tu, Qiu Tu had just been promoted to a first-level agent!

How could Qiu Tu have been promoted two levels in just half a month?

So, she came running over, looked up at Qiu Tu with her doe-like eyes, and said in surprise, "How did you get promoted to section chief?"

"You got promoted way too fast!"

Perhaps because he felt relaxed in front of Shen Lingshuang, Qiu Tu said with a smile, "Section Chief? I'll be promoted to Deputy Section Chief in a couple of days, okay?"

This time, Shen Lingshuang's mouth was completely agape.

She said, "You got promoted way too fast!"

She looked at Qiu Tu with suspicion, then pursed her lips and said, "You didn't make some kind of deal with the higher-ups in the Investigation Bureau, did you?"

As she spoke, she rested her chin on her hand, walked along, and pouted as she analyzed, "In trading, there must be both giving and receiving."

"You got the promotion, so... what did you pay for it?"

She looked at Qiu Tu and asked suspiciously, "Soul? Or chastity?"

Qiu Tu:? ? ?

Before Qiu Tu could speak, Shen Lingshuang pouted and shook her head, "It's definitely not your soul. Your soul is pretty filthy anyway, it probably doesn't have much value. So it must be your chastity, right?"

At this point, Shen Lingshuang covered her mouth, her big, watery eyes looking at Qiu Tu with horror, "Oh my god. Qiu Tu. You actually slept with your boss!"

Qiu Tu: .....

To be honest, Qiu Tu felt completely confused by Shen Lingshuang at that moment!

How on earth did this girl manage to go through a bunch of messy reasoning processes and finally arrive at the correct answer?!

Pshaw! No way! I didn't get promoted by sleeping with my boss!

I clearly relied on my own abilities!

Qiu Tu is certain!

So, he didn't bother to explain. Amidst Shen Lingshuang's exclamation, he grabbed her waist, pressed her onto his lap, and started slapping her cute little bottom!

A masochist needs a masochistic education method!

As expected... after such a light beating, Shen Lingshuang immediately became obedient.

Her face was flushed as she nestled against Qiu Tu's lap, rubbing against him, her head tilted back, her eyes misty...like a greedy little kitten.

Qiu Tu was also a little tempted by her gaze. But he knew now was not the time to do such a thing.

Anyway, Shen Lingshuang is right beside him, so he can eat whenever he wants.

Right now, the most important thing is to properly arrange our lives together.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu ignored Shen Lingshuang, whose eyes were practically drooling, gave her the disaster materials, and then went out to make a phone call...

This time, Qiu Tu called Qin Shuman.

As Qiu Tu's most important partner, Qin Shuman is always the first person Qiu Tu thinks of when he wants to do something crucial...

Qin Shuman had clearly been busy these past two days, so Qiu Tu waited for more than ten seconds before she answered the phone.

Qin Shuman sounded tired on the other end of the phone, "Hello? Qiu Tu. What's wrong?"

Qiu Tu didn't immediately get down to business. Instead, he asked with concern, "Are you alright? You look very tired."
