"Section Chief Zhang, are you perhaps possessed by evil spirits?"

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Zhang's face flushed red and then paled. Then, Guan Xiao's expression changed, and he said with a half-smile, "Or perhaps... Section Chief Zhang has done something wrong?"

"I remember hearing some gossip about Section Chief Zhang not long ago..."

Upon hearing Guan Xiao's words, Section Chief Zhang's expression changed, and he quickly said with an awkward smile, "Section Chief Guan, you're joking, you're joking. Oh, I remember now, I haven't been dreaming these past few days, I must have misremembered..."

After saying that, Section Chief Zhang disappeared in a flash.

Watching Section Chief Zhang leave, Guan Xiao's gaze slowly moved and then met Qiu Tu's gaze.

The two people, separated by most of the conference room, met each other's gazes.

Guan Xiao seemed to have noticed Qiu Tu's gaze long ago, but her eyes remained completely unmoved.

She gave Qiu Tu a flirtatious wink and then made a phone call gesture.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu chuckled softly.

Then, in a voice only Tan Huimin could hear, she whispered, "Interesting..."

After saying that, he didn't give Guan Xiao any response, but turned around and left the Investigation Bureau office building with Tan Huimin...

......

Because Qiu Tu had previously lost power and changed his position, the driver was feeling uneasy, so Qiu Tu took the initiative to send him back to the administrative office to work as a clerk.

This has resulted in Qiu Tu not even having a driver now.

He decided to take the opportunity to find a suitable driver from among his confidants: a driver, like a secretary, is one of the closest people to him.

Qiu Tu himself was a little uneasy about using outsiders.

For now... we can let Tan Huimin take over for the time being.

With that in mind, Qiu Tu asked Tan Huimin to drive him back to the villa he shared with Fang Tangtang.

The most important things in the New Territories right now are the "Boundless Ocean of the Heart Development Project" and the "Boundless Ocean of the Heart Summoning Event".

Both of these events are inextricably linked to Lariro.

Therefore, Qiu Tu thought he would try to persuade La Riluo again tonight to see if he could get some useful information from her.

Qiu Tu's confidence stemmed from the fact that this afternoon, along with the arrival of the shelter's experts, the "soul shackles" also arrived.

This was the cataclysmic artifact that Qin Shuman had applied for from the shelter two days ago, specifically designed to imprison consciousness and soul.

With this treasure, Lariel's fate was now completely in Qiu Tu's hands.

Qiu Tu had already figured out how to use this cataclysmic artifact to extract information from La Riluo.

This requires using his cheat code.....

Soon, Qiu Tu arrived at Fang Tangtang's villa, driven by Tan Huimin.

As soon as Qiu Tu got out of the car, before he even entered the door, his communicator rang.

"Ring ring ring..." The melodious ringing sounded especially crisp in the quiet night.

Hearing the communicator ring, Fang Tangtang, who was inside the house, curiously looked outside.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu standing outside the door, her eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly walked out.

At this moment, Qiu Tu also managed to get the communicator out and glanced down at it.

It was... Shen Lingshuang calling.

Qiu Tu was startled and reflexively looked up at Fang Tangtang, who was already standing at the door.

Fang Tangtang didn't notice Qiu Tu's communicator; she just stood there timidly, cautiously looking up at Qiu Tu, her watery eyes filled with longing...

Looking into the girl's doe-like eyes.

A thought involuntarily popped into Qiu Tu's mind: You can't hide your love for someone...

Unfortunately, love between two people must be kept secret. So Qiu Tu coughed and said, "It's a work call. Go back to your room and wait for me."

After saying that, he took the communicator, turned around, and walked outside.

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Fang Tangtang didn't suspect anything. She just pursed her lips and glanced at Qiu Tu again and again... before lowering her head and returning to the villa.

Seeing that Fang Tangtang had left the door, Qiu Tu answered the phone with peace of mind.

As soon as the call connected, Shen Lingshuang's reproachful voice came through the receiver, "Qiu Tu... have you forgotten about me again!"

"How many days has it been since you've been home!"

Qiu Tu's experience of being a scumbag in two lifetimes taught him that to win a girl's heart, you need to be sweet-talking and give reasons.

Even if they say they don't believe it, if they still care about you, they'll deceive themselves...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu coughed and said, "Ling Shuang, how could I forget you? I've just been too busy with my promotion lately."

"I simply can't find the time to go home."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then added, half-jokingly, "Moreover, during this period, the evil god in our New Territories area has fallen."

"In addition, no new evil gods have come to occupy the territory, so the area corresponding to the Boundless Heart Sea has no controller."

"In the past two days, all the disaster victims in the New Territories have been summoned to the Boundless Heart Sea."

"So, having just finished dealing with my promotion, I immediately had to deal with this matter. It was truly non-stop work, with no time to rest at all."

At this point, Qiu Tu sighed and said, "I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't even had time to sleep. I'm really exhausted."

Qiu Tu originally just wanted to use this excuse to fool Shen Lingshuang and tell her that he might not be able to go back for the next few days.

To everyone's surprise, Shen Lingshuang exclaimed "Eh!" upon hearing Qiu Tu's words.

Then she asked curiously, "The evil god fell, and was summoned by the boundless sea of ​​the heart?"

Are you operating in a "counter-infiltration world"?

Upon hearing this technical term, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then asked with a hint of surprise, "Ling Shuang, do you know what that summoning thing is all about?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Ling Shuang's arrogant demeanor returned.

She tilted her head slightly on the other end of the phone and said smugly, "Of course~"

“Our Third Shelter has experienced a similar incident before. My father was the main person in charge of that incident.”

Hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Qiu Tu's smile grew even wider...

He felt that Shen Lingshuang was truly his lucky star!

Not only does it diligently create "catastrophic potions" and "catastrophic materials" for itself at home every day.

Now it can even help me understand the research progress of the Third Shelter!

This will save Qiu Tu a lot of detours.

He might even become the controller of the entire region, just as he had envisioned.

So, thinking this through, Qiu Tu quickly asked, "Ling Shuang, come on, tell me, what information do you know?"

However, Shen Lingshuang was not a submissive little girl like Fang Tangtang; she had her own strong opinions and goals.

So, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, she chuckled, "Want to know? Then tell me when you get home tonight!"

Qiu Tu: ....

After calculating the time and finding that he could make it, Qiu Tu readily agreed.

"It's a word."

"It's a deal~~"

After finishing his conversation with Shen Lingshuang, Qiu Tu put down the communicator and returned to the villa.

Upon entering the villa, Fang Tangtang was resting her chin on her hand in the living room, waiting for Qiu Tu.

When she saw Qiu Tu return, a shy yet happy smile bloomed on her face, and she asked timidly, "Qiu Tu, are you done with the call?"

Qiu Tu smiled and hummed in agreement, then said, "It's over. It's nothing."

After saying that, Qiu Tu glanced at the clock behind Fang Tangtang—actually, he was peeking to see if La Riluo was still on Fang Tangtang.

Seeing that La Riluo was still there, Qiu Tu felt relieved.

He proceeded as planned, saying, "I'm going to take a shower first."

"I'm so tired after a long day."

After saying that, Qiu Tu patted Fang Tangtang's head close and then walked to the bathroom with a smile.

Opening the bathroom door, Qiu Tu followed the "instructions" Qin Shuman had given him and arranged the "soul shackles" around the bathroom.

Then he took off all his clothes, stood naked under the showerhead, and began to shower.

Halfway through the shower, feeling the time was right, Qiu Tu suddenly called out to the outside, "Tangtang? Tangtang?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's call, Fang Tangtang, who had been waiting outside, immediately responded with a "Yes."

Qiu Tu, speaking through the door without any politeness, said, "Come in and scrub my back."

Hearing Qiu Tu's lewd words, Fang Tangtang's face turned slightly red.

She wanted to act coy, but she was worried it would upset Qiu Tu.

So after a slight hesitation, she finally pushed open the bathroom door and went inside.

At this moment... La Riluo, who was possessing Fang Tangtang's body, watched the two showing affection with a bit of boredom, unaware of the impending danger!

It wasn't until Fang Tangtang walked into the trap set by Qiu Tu that La Riluo realized something was wrong!

But by then it was too late!

After witnessing Larilu step into the trap, Qiu Tu activated the "Soul Shackles" with a thought!

The next second, an ancient altar the size of a palm, engraved with strange runes, quietly rose up. Countless strands of light, as fine as hair, woven together, and a net shimmering with a ghostly blue light appeared out of thin air and then captured Lariro!

Lariel struggled desperately, but... she was too weak to break free from this powerful Cataclysmic Artifact.

So she could only watch helplessly as the soul shackles gradually bound and restrained her, pulling her towards the center of the palm-sized altar...

Seeing that he had successfully captured Larilu, Qiu Tu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He ignored Lariro, who was locked in the altar, glaring at him and cursing him.

Then he reached out and pulled Fang Tangtang into the bathroom.

Fang Tangtang gasped in surprise, unable to dodge in time, and was pulled into Qiu Tu's arms.

The showerhead was still spraying water droplets. So in less than two seconds, Fang Tangtang's silk pajamas were soaked through.

Her face was flushed, her hands were crossed over her chest, and her head was almost buried in her deep cleavage; she was clearly extremely shy.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu, who was already happy to have caught La Ri Luo, became even happier.

He smiled and hugged Fang Tangtang tightly, then began a new-style bath together...

And so, Lariluo got to enjoy an hour of interaction for free. Qiu Tu finally dried himself off, completely satisfied, and left the bathroom.

Qiu Tu found Fang Tangtang a change of pajamas, then went back to the bathroom and helped her clean herself up. Only then did he let her go back to rest.

As for Qiu Tu himself... he still has a lot to do tonight.

After seeing Fang Tangtang off, Qiu Tu picked up the palm-sized altar containing La Riluo's last consciousness. Then he went to his study.

I went to the study and locked the door.

Qiu Tu sat down, then smiled at La Riluo, who was staring blankly at the altar, and teased, "Your Highness, it's been a long time..."

"I never imagined you'd be in such a sorry state now."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words and sensing his mockery, La Riluo knew perfectly well that she had been tricked again these past few days.

Perhaps because she knew the odds were against her, she didn't care anymore, so she just opened her mouth and launched into a rap full of pronouns like "you," "I," and "mom"...
