Then let them offer their loyalty!

Once seated at the restaurant, Qiu Tu, who had already taken the "Spiritual Sharpening" potion on the way, secretly glanced at Fang Tangtang.

Sure enough... after his spiritual perception was enhanced, Qiu Tu was finally able to see La Ri Luo.

Her spirit was still wearing a long black dress.

The long dress clung to her shapely body, outlining her near-perfect curves.

She lay barefoot, her fair, jade-like feet pressed against Fang Tangtang's body. Even in her weakened state, her scarlet eyes still gleamed with wickedness and mockery...

To avoid being discovered, Qiu Tu glanced at La Riluo and then quickly looked away, turning his gaze to Tan Huimin.

Perhaps because Zheng Tao disappeared, Tan Huimin felt that her only hope was gone and she had given up on everything.

She chuckled and said, "You're about to die, and you're still keeping a mistress in this golden house."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu glanced at her and then asked, "Is death imminent? What do you mean?"

Tan Huimin said coldly, "It seems you're really out of touch these days."

"Director Yan convened a high-level meeting today, and the first thing he did was to freeze personnel appointments for this period of time."

"Those that have already been handed over will continue to be implemented for the time being, but those that have not yet been handed over will be suspended."

At this point, Tan Huimin added, "Moreover, it's clear that he's only targeting you and Director Tang."

“The promotions of Director Yu, Minister Shi, and even some neutral agents and section chiefs were not frozen, but continued to be effective.”

Tan Huimin commented, "He's recruiting one group and then cracking down on another."

"By not making any changes to other people's personnel appointments, we can minimize the impact, and it will become incredibly easy to take action against you later."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this. What Tan Huimin said wasn't false; he had indeed heard about the meeting.

But he didn't care. After all, his "battlefield" was now in the shelter, not in the New Territories.

Once the "battlefield" of the shelter is settled, a small city like New Territories will naturally be no problem.

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu didn't continue the conversation. Instead, he said, "Huimin, I think you should worry about yourself instead of me."

"The reason I called her to my house this time is not for any other reason than I was worried that something might happen to you."

At this point, Qiu Tu took out a file folder and handed it to Tan Huimin.

Tan Huimin took the file folder with a puzzled look, then opened it and started reading.

Qiu Tu didn't disturb the beautiful young woman, but got up and went to the kitchen.

The file contained Zheng Tao's confession that he used "rosemary aphrodisiac" to control Tan Huimin and murdered Tan Huimin's entire family.

It was Qiu Tu who specifically asked Qin Shuman to make the copy today.

Qiu Tu had two purposes in going to such lengths to hand over this statement to Tan Huimin.

Qiu Tu's first purpose was that he felt Tan Huimin's fate was too tragic and she should know the truth.

The second purpose was... to use this to deceive Larilu and keep her calm.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu also showed his gentleness, which was rare for him.

He went to the kitchen, then walked behind Fang Tangtang and gently hugged her.

Fang Tangtang's small, oval face flushed red, probably because she hadn't expected Qiu Tu to be so affectionate towards her.

She panicked for a moment and didn't know where to put her hands. Her big eyes blinked and were already covered with a thin layer of moisture.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "What's wrong? Not used to it?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Fang Tangtang nodded timidly, then whispered, "Yes...yes a little."

After saying that, perhaps worried that Qiu Tu would misunderstand, she quickly lowered her head and added softly, "But, I like it."

This girl is always like this: she is very timid, but at certain crucial moments she can always boldly express her feelings.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu gently touched Fang Tangtang's hair and then said with a smile, "I'm glad you like it."

After saying that, Qiu Tu pointed to Tan Huimin, who was in a great shock in the restaurant because of that testimony, and then asked, "Aren't you going to ask who that is?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Fang Tangtang's watery eyes visibly dimmed.

She lowered her head and said timidly, "It's okay, it doesn't matter who it is..."

Fang Tangtang didn't ask, but Qiu Tu had to say!

If he doesn't say, how can he fool Larilu, how can he trick Larilu into conforming to his own shape?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu said, "She is the ex-wife of one of my colleagues."

"My colleague worshipped an evil god in order to get her, and then obtained two bottles of medicine from that evil god, which he then used on her to control her."

Fang Tangtang felt a little dizzy after hearing Qiu Tu's words.

Clearly, having no knowledge of supernatural powers or evil gods, she didn't quite understand Qiu Tu's meaning.

So she said weakly, "An evil god? A potion? That can control...people?"

Seeing her adorable appearance, Qiu Tu smiled and nodded, then said, "Yes, you heard me right. That's exactly it."

Although she still didn't quite understand Qiu Tu's meaning, Fang Tangtang said weakly, "So... that evil god is bad, right?"

Hearing Fang Tangtang's words, Qiu Tu secretly gave her a thumbs up: As expected of his little darling, she asked a great question!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu quickly put on a serious face and said, "No. I think that evil god is good."

Fang Tangtang: ? ? ?

At this point, Fang Tangtang was completely dizzy.

At this moment, Qiu Tu also explained, "A bottle of medicine can cure diseases or kill people. It all depends on the dosage."

"If that potion is used in a very small dose, it can enhance the relationship between men and women, stimulate their desires, and make married life more enjoyable."

“My colleague was clearly abusing this drug. This cannot be blamed on the evil god who invented it.”

At this point, Qiu Tu paused again, then said with a deep expression, "Moreover... I actually had contact with that evil god as well."

"I think she's a very good person... like a goddess."

"She is not only beautiful, has a great figure and a good personality, but she has also always stuck to her own path, never giving up or compromising for decades."

As she said this, Qiu Tu deliberately became excited and said, "She just wants everyone to be able to reproduce whenever and wherever they want, what's wrong with that!"

"Why won't the shelter and the security department let her go?!"

At this point, Qiu Tu said, "Even if we take a step back and assume that she might actually be a little bad."

"But...she's so beautiful, how bad could she possibly be?"

Fang Tangtang: ? ?

Fang Tangtang was truly dumbfounded this time.

She felt that something was off about what Qiu Tu was saying, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

It just feels... illogical, or like there's something wrong with its values.

However, what she didn't know was that... listening to Qiu Tu's words, La Ri Luo, who was possessing her, was trying her best to restrain herself, but she couldn't suppress the urge to smile!

Chapter 287 La Riluo: Qiu Tu, you scumbag! (10,000 words, please vote!)

Women are amazing creatures.

They naturally enjoy being praised and complimented.

Moreover, it doesn't matter who the person praising is or what their relationship is with them. As long as it's not someone they "dislike," they'll like it.

Even... praise from their enemies can make them feel even more accomplished.

So even though Qiu Tu has now been categorized as an "enemy," La Riluo still feels genuinely pleased when Qiu Tu praises her for being beautiful, having a great figure, and having a good personality!

However, although she felt great, Lariro still didn't lose her mind.

She had a keen sense that something was amiss: Why was Qiu Tu suddenly praising her for no apparent reason?

'Did he find me?'

Thinking about this, Larilu felt it was somewhat impossible.

The reason remains the same: if Qiu Tu discovers her, he can simply hand her over to the security department or arrest her. There's no need to play along with her like this.

As for whether Qiu Tu or the Security Department might not have captured the Cataclysmic Treasure of the Evil God, that's a possibility.

Larilu had also thought about it.

She felt that, given her worth, once her whereabouts were discovered, the sanctuary would immediately send her a cataclysmic artifact to capture the evil god.

Secondly... she felt that, given Qiu Tu's shrewdness, after discovering her but failing to capture the Cataclysmic Treasure, he would most likely maintain the status quo and stall her.

Instead of deliberately praising himself to get his attention, he does it now.

So... thinking about this, La Riluo felt... perhaps Qiu Tu was genuinely praising her from the bottom of his heart?

I don't understand... I'll take another look.

Thinking this, La Riluo did not make any rash moves to escape, but continued to possess Fang Tangtang's body and eavesdrop on the two's conversation.

Qiu Tu had actually seen almost all of La Ri Luo's emotional changes.

Seeing that Lariluo didn't run away in fright from his sudden praise, Qiu Tu secretly chuckled to himself: Success...

36 ways to deal with women: Testing the limits.

Whether in the realm of fraud or the realm of "scumbags," there is actually a rule: cast a wide net and catch the most targeted fish.

Many people mistakenly believe that casting a wide net means approaching every girl you see and asking her a question or even trying to lick her. This is a huge misconception.

The most crucial element of this preventative, wide-net approach is to use very basic language to probe the waters.

A smart girl/target would have already passed on this kind of talk the moment she saw it.

Those who remain are often the easily deceived girls and targets.

This is why, after some fraud cases or scumbag men are exposed, countless netizens exclaim: How could anyone fall for such a low-level scam?

The same principle applies to the strategy of "testing the limits" when dealing with women.

Use a relatively low-level rhetoric to probe the current state of the "target".

If the target is scared away, that's okay... there are other remedies waiting for her later.

If the target accepts this test, it actually reveals that she is now vulnerable to being "fished out".

Qiu Tu dared to use such a radical method because after reaching a cooperation agreement with the security department, Qin Shuman had already handed over control of a 30-person reconnaissance team to him.

Therefore, Qiu Tu has already laid a tight net outside Longshan Road. Even if La Riluo is startled, she cannot escape and will remain in Qiu Tu's grasp.

With the probing over, Qiu Tu felt more confident. He could finally move on to the third step of his plan.

Seeing Fang Tangtang's eyes almost forming mosquito coils and her completely bewildered expression, Qiu Tu put on a dramatic performance. He gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Alright, I know you're not interested in this topic and you won't understand it anyway."

"Then you go ahead with your work, I'll go check on my friend."

After saying that, Qiu Tu made a move to leave.

As expected, this didn't surprise Qiu Tu. Fang Tangtang became a little anxious upon seeing this. She quickly reached out and grabbed Qiu Tu's hand.

Perhaps realizing that her actions were too bold, she quickly let go of Qiu Tu's hand after she had grabbed it.

Then she said timidly, "I'm not uninterested. I'm very interested."

After speaking, she turned around and turned off the fire on the stove, indicating that she was ready to listen carefully to Qiu Tu. Then she brought up the topic again.

"Qiu Tu...you and that evil god...um, are you very familiar with the evil god?"

This is exactly the effect Qiu Tu wanted.

It felt fake for him to initiate the conversation, but it felt much more real if Fang Tangtang led the conversation.

Therefore, upon hearing Fang Tangtang's question, Qiu Tu revealed a thoughtful expression.

After a moment, he said with a serious expression, "Tangtang, you are my woman, right?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's blunt words, Fang Tangtang blushed and nodded.
