Let them offer their loyalty!

In the video, Jia Shu had been engaging in idle chat with Liu Fuping since calling her into his office.

He asked about her recent work, her life, and her health, but... he never broached any spy-related topics with her.

Despite no abnormality in his expression or actions, Qiu Tu, who knew Jia Shu's personality well, was 100% certain that Jia Shu was just delaying time.

After stalling for over half an hour, when the time for the "Silver Key Bee" was about to expire, Jia Shu finally took out handcuffs and shackles and restrained Liu Fuping with them.

The whole process... seemed like it was deliberately performed for Qiu Tu to see.

After noticing this detail, although Qiu Tu was reluctant to admit it, he thought it over and concluded that there was only one possibility that could explain Jia Shu's behavior.

That was... Jia Shu knew about the existence of the Silver Key Bee on Liu Fuping. He even knew the exact timing of its installation very clearly.

Following this conclusion, Qiu Tu also came up with more chilling speculations:

For instance... Jia Shu had surveilled him at least since yesterday, which is how he knew all of Qiu Tu's actions, including the testing of the Silver Key Bee on Liu Fuping.

Then... continuing with this speculation and deducing further, Jia Shu's actions today became very intriguing.

After the "Yin Caimei Case" ended, he did not lie low, nor did he choose to target Qiu Tu, but instead chose to strike at Liu Fuping.

This was clearly not about the wine for the drunken guest, but a way to force Qiu Tu to make a choice:

To protect himself and watch Liu Fuping die, or... to save Liu Fuping, expose his "Achilles' heel," and fall into Jia Shu's trap.

After all, although Qiu Tu handled affairs thoroughly, making it difficult for anyone to grasp leverage against him, Liu Fuping was riddled with vulnerabilities. A simple spy profile could only protect Liu Fuping momentarily.

Liu Fuping had far too many points of weakness that could be targeted.

Therefore, once Qiu Tu saved Liu Fuping... Jia Shu could manipulate Qiu Tu by controlling Liu Fuping.

Wouldn't this evening's act of turning Liu Fuping into a spy erase all of Qiu Tu's previous efforts?

Then, all Liu Fuping needed to do was to send another piece of intelligence to Eastern City, and Jia Shu would have a reason to strike again!

Moreover, every time Liu Fuping transmitted intelligence, Jia Shu could use it as an excuse to attack.

Unless Qiu Tu kept covering for her every time, claiming he was the one who ordered the transmission, Liu Fuping's fate would really be completely in Jia Shu's hands.

Beyond this passive waiting, Jia Shu could also regularly demand intelligence about Eastern City from Liu Fuping, forcing her into a dilemma between the Investigation Bureaus of the two cities.

And just a slight mishap could lead to both Liu Fuping and Qiu Tu being wiped out by him in one fell swoop.

This was a multiple-choice question, turned into a lethal trick!

It must be said that Jia Shu was ruthless in his actions. But... after figuring out Jia Shu's scheme, Qiu Tu could only laugh.

Because Jia Shu, for all his calculations, had misjudged Liu Fuping's place in Qiu Tu's heart.

Although Qiu Tu got along well with Liu Fuping and often shared flirtatious moments with her, the relationship between Liu Fuping and Qiu Tu... was really not at a level that would make Qiu Tu willing to risk danger to save her.

So, after considering Jia Shu's transparent plan fully, Qiu Tu hardly thought twice before deciding to abandon Liu Fuping.

However, just then, an idea suddenly struck Qiu Tu: since Jia Shu was already preparing to target him.

Why not go with the flow and control the "direction" of Jia Shu's attack?

In chaotic times, one cannot afford to have weaknesses. But... one can fabricate a weakness!

Isn't Jia Shu suspicious about his relationship with Liu Fuping? Then he would confirm that relationship!

If Jia Shu wants to grasp his weakness, then he would hand over this "weakness" to him!

After that, no matter how Jia Shu planned to manipulate him through Liu Fuping, he would cooperate as much as possible! Create the illusion that he had truly fallen into the trap!

As long as he maintained his rationality and held on to relevant evidence, even if Liu Fuping turned out to be unreliable and Jia Shu got a hold of her, he could easily disentangle himself and remain unaffected!

During this time, not only would he not have to worry about Jia Shu's unknown threats, but he could also secure valuable development time, working with Tang Feifei to bring Jia Shu down!

Having thought of this new approach, Qiu Tu suddenly felt it was workable!

The only remaining question in this whole plan was: Would Jia Shu use the pretense of setting a trap tonight to actually attempt a forcible killing of Qiu Tu?

Luckily, Qiu Tu had the "Crisis Intuition" Golden Finger.

When Qiu Tu was about to save Liu Fuping, his "Crisis Intuition" was not triggered. This meant that Jia Shu was not deranged enough to actually attempt to kill Qiu Tu.

Therefore, Qiu Tu could calmly rescue Liu Fuping throughout the process!

Because he really knew that Jia Shu was just bluffing and would not truly try to kill him...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu glanced at the Loyalty that had surged by another 9 points for Liu Fuping, who had now given herself over to him completely.

So, Liu Fuping was truly just an addition to tonight's entire plan.

Although Qiu Tu also admitted that deep down, he might have a hint of desire to avoid the demise of this fragile and beautiful woman.

After all, who could bear to lose a beautiful woman who was loyal, rapidly advancing in ability, and served multiple roles and functions? Right?

But... he was mostly executing his own plan.

Of course, this did not cause Qiu Tu to feel guilty towards Liu Fuping.

After all, although tonight's plan might involve using her, being used by others is in itself a type of value.

Moreover, if he didn't use her, she would not even survive the night...

```

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu's thoughts gradually circled back.

The matter wasn't over yet. No one knew if Jia Shu might still be monitoring the two of them, so... he still had to perform the full act.

With that in mind, Qiu Tu deliberately took a deep breath, then hugged Liu Fuping with a face full of fear and said with concern, "Sister Liu, when I found out something happened to you, I was really scared."

"I was really worried that I would be too late, worried that I wouldn't be able to save you."

"Now that I see you're alright, I'm finally completely relieved."

It was probably the first time anyone had seen Qiu Tu express his emotions so openly.

After a moment of stunned silence, Liu Fuping's eyes reddened slightly as she hugged Qiu Tu back.

Although Qiu Tu's affections for her were "feigned," her feelings for Qiu Tu were genuine.

After all, only she knew how desperate she felt when Jia Shu called her into his office and tied her to the dissection table.

At that moment, she had even given up any hope of survival.

It was precisely because of this mindset that when Qiu Tu appeared in the office like a god, and then forcefully confronted Jia Shu and took her out of the office, her world seemed to revolve around Qiu Tu alone...

Now, hearing Qiu Tu's sweet nothings and feeling his heartfelt concern, her heart overflowed with nothing but immense gratitude and dependence...

[Liu Fuping Loyalty +5]

Seeing the loyalty score appear again, Qiu Tu's expression remained unchanged, but he sighed inwardly: Indeed, genuine feelings never retain, only manipulations win hearts.

[108 Ways to Deepen Affection] No. 66: Girls are emotional creatures. In front of a woman, what you say is always more important than what you do. If you do a little, speak as if you've done more; If you do more, talk even more highly of it.

Ps1: Scumbags often capture girls' hearts this way.

Ps2: This method should be used in combination with others, or it might backfire and turn you into a lap dog...

...

He left the Investigation Bureau building with Liu Fuping.

Qiu Tu drove her back to her home.

Perhaps because she had finally returned to her "territory", or maybe because Qiu Tu had been gently comforting her the whole ride, Liu Fuping's overall demeanor had improved significantly, and she was no longer as fearfully stiff as she was when confronting Jia Shu.

Once home, Qiu Tu poured a cup of hot water for Liu Fuping. After she drank it, warmth spread through her body. Experience tales at empire

She raised her eyes to look at Qiu Tu, then said softly, "Qiu Tu... thank you for saving me tonight."

Remembering his current role, Qiu Tu sat next to Liu Fuping, gently embraced the beautiful young woman, and whispered sweet words, "Sister Liu, do we still need to say these things?"

"The most important thing is that you're okay."

Liu Fuping's face reddened slightly upon hearing this.

Then, with a worried expression, she whispered, "What are you going to do next?"

"Even though you created a spy profile for me... Jia Shu won't believe it that easily."

"And... Eastern City contacts me every half a month for intelligence."

"Even though they just came to me two days ago, there's still about ten days of buffer time."

"But... eventually, Jia Shu is bound to catch on."

Hearing this, Qiu Tu gently held Liu Fuping's delicate hand.

Jia Shu wasn't wrong; Liu Fuping did have talent and was a quick learner.

But... she lacked experience and her psychological quality was far from meeting the standard of a spy.

Qiu Tu was actually curious who could bear to train such a delicate beauty into a spy and throw her into another city to fend for herself, let alone let her fall into this kind of trap.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu simultaneously criticized Liu Fuping's handler and gently patted her hand, reassuring her, "Don't worry. I've thought about all this. Leave everything to me, okay?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping paused.

Since leaving her hometown to become a spy in Xinjie City, it had been a long time since she'd heard such a reassuring and comforting promise.

And Qiu Tu did possess a kind of magic: it seemed that anything he agreed to do, he would certainly accomplish.

At that moment, Liu Fuping felt a strong impulse surge within her.

She looked at Qiu Tu, then lowered her head and bit her lip, saying, "Okay. I trust you."

After finishing, she whispered, "I'm a bit tired, I'll take a bath first. You go ahead."

With that, she got up and walked toward the bathroom.

Watching her leave, Qiu Tu froze for a second, with several question marks appearing above his head: ??

Wait, is there an unexpected surprise coming?
