Let them offer their loyalty!

'This guy isn't really enjoying himself there, is he...?'

'I should call Section Chief Kong over to see, let her witness Qiu Tu's true colors...'

And so, he lived it up, indulged for a night.

At 11 p.m., Qiu Tu got up to leave the Fatty Fish Bar, drunk, reeking of perfume, and with lipstick marks all over his cheeks and neck.

It wasn't clear whether Suit Man had noticed something off, or if he was just too cautious, but he hadn't approached Qiu Tu all evening.

Qiu Tu didn't care.

If not tonight, then tomorrow night. If not tomorrow night, then the night after.

After all, he was spending case funds, so he wasn't heartbroken over it.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu stood up with two girls in his arms, and slurred, "Tonight, you two are coming with me, okay?!"

On hearing Qiu Tu's words, the two girls pounced into his arms, one after the other, as excited as if they had won a victory, almost ready to jump for joy.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu "ha ha" laughed, preparing to leave the bar with the two girls in tow.

But just then, he suddenly caught a whiff of a faint, familiar, sweet scent.

However, when he tried to smell it again, he found that he couldn't detect anything.

At the same time, a magnetic male voice sounded from behind him, "Hello? My friend."

On hearing this, Qiu Tu turned to look and saw a slightly roguish, pale-faced man dressed in a suit with red-dyed hair, smiling at him—it was none other than Suit Man, Qiu Tu's target for the evening.

Upon seeing his target appear, a sense of vigilance instantly sprang up in Qiu Tu's heart.

And recalling the familiar whiff just a moment ago... Qiu Tu knew the man had used the Mandragora Love Drug.

Thinking thus, he pretended to be more intoxicated and replied, "Do you need something...?"

At the same time, he stealthily glanced at the two girls in his arms.

Indeed... under the influence of the Mandragora Love Drug, both girls' eyes were somewhat hazy and, even in Qiu Tu's arms, their gazes uncontrollably wandered towards Suit Man.

As Qiu Tu observed and assessed, Suit Man spoke up. He laughed, lifted his glass in a toast to Qiu Tu, and showed a grin that seemed detached from this world, asking, "Do you mind staying for another drink, my friend?"

Truth be told, whether it was the influence of the Mandragora Love Drug or that Suit Man was indeed charismatic, Qiu Tu really felt no impulse to refuse at that moment.

So, he smiled and nodded at Suit Man, "Of course."

Seeing Qiu Tu "bite," Suit Man cornered a smile and gestured to him, then led Qiu Tu to his booth.

As Qiu Tu and others followed the target out, Cao Dabiao, Chen Feng, and Liu Fuping thought about following. However, Qiu Tu seemed to guess their intentions and, feigning drunkenness, waved them off, signaling them to wait where they were.

Though a bit worried, the three sat back down in their seats in the face of the target's glance.

Upon reaching Suit Man's booth, Qiu Tu slapped the two girls' cute bottoms, telling them to go play nearby, and then sat next to Suit Man himself.

Suit Man chuckled at this, then took the initiative to open a new bottle of wine and poured a glass for Qiu Tu, asking, "May I know my friend's name?"

Qiu Tu, tongue thick, said, "My surname is Jia, you can call me Jia Shu."

Having said this, Qiu Tu then drunkenly asked, "And you, my friend, what's your name?"

On hearing this, Suit Man replied, "You can call me Fellow."

"Fellow...?" Qiu Tu muttered the name carelessly, but he knew in his heart that it must be a fake name or a title.

After all, if he wasn't mistaken, some sects referred to their low-level members as 'Fellows'.

While thinking this, Qiu Tu put an arm around Suit Man's neck and drunkenly queried, "Brother Fellow, did you call me over to discuss something?"

"To tell you the truth, I'm not someone who likes to make friends. But when I saw you, I felt an instant connection."

Suit Man looked slightly smug upon hearing this, then said, "Do you believe in 'God,' brother?"

On hearing this, Qiu Tu feigned astonishment for a moment, then "ha ha" laughingly said, "God?"

"If there were a God, would this world be in such chaos?"

"Ha ha ha."

Suit Man followed with a chuckle, then quickly changed his tone, "What if... all of this is what 'God' wanted to achieve?"

"'God' believes that this world is filled with Order, that all beings are living too suppressed a life!"

"Go to school, study, take exams, fall in love, graduate, work! Get married! Have children! Then educate your children to continue going to school! Continue studying!"

"Then, wait for your children to fall in love! Work! Get married! Have more children!"

"The beings of this world are like they're bound by rigid Order, unable to do what they truly want to do!"

"Unable to indulge in pleasure! Unable to freely unleash their desires!"

Qiu Tu looked like he was taking it in, silently stroking his chin.

Seeing this, Suit Man's face revealed a slight smile.

He leaned closer to Qiu Tu, continuing to seduce him, "But brother, have you ever thought about it?"

"Life was never meant to be bound!"

"Life is meant to be free!"

His voice sounded ethereal as he said, "So... 'God' appeared."

"He destroyed the Order of the world, plunging everything into Chaos! Returning beings to times of turmoil!"

It must be said, Suit Man had a knack for manipulating people. After hearing his sermon, Qiu Tu felt an urge to resign right away, to go out, to admire this extraordinary world!

Therefore, without much pretense, Qiu Tu eagerly asked, "So... what did 'God' bring us back to this Chaos for?"

Upon hearing this, Suit Man smiled and pulled over the young woman he had brought with him today.

She was about twenty-five or twenty-six, dressed in a strappy long dress with a small cashmere coat over it, exuding a gentle and graceful air.

Her features were somewhat delicate, her figure excellent, especially her ample bosom, which was somewhat overwhelming.

When she sat still, she had the gentle temperament of a lady. However, when she came over to Qiu Tu, he noticed that her eyes seemed to twinkle with the flames of a newly ignited fire...

Qiu Tu glanced at Suit Man, puzzled.

Yet Suit Man gestured to the young woman.

Obediently, she straddled Qiu Tu's lap and grabbed his hand, slipping it inside her coat.

That moment was soft and smooth to the touch.

Qiu Tu was startled and looked down. It was then, in the dim light of the bar, that he realized she wasn't wearing anything under her cashmere coat!

And the outside strappy long dress was merely a ruse! The straps inside were already torn off, doing nothing to cover anything at all!

In that moment, Qiu Tu was baffled: Was this world so progressive that even this kind of public exposure was a thing?

And... what was Suit Man doing? Was he letting this woman use a Beauty Trap on him?

As Qiu Tu thought this, Suit Man spoke. His face was full of cynicism and smugness, "Brother, do you know who she is?"

Qiu Tu hesitated for a second, then shook his head. Your next read awaits at empire

Suit Man leaned in, whispering softly, "She's the wife of Xinjie City's Education Bureau's Section Chief Kong..."

To be honest, that really startled Qiu Tu!

The movements of his hands, which were caressing her, froze instantly!

However, perhaps this was the reaction Suit Man was looking for.

So, he "heh heh" laughed while patting Qiu Tu's shoulder, saying, "Don't be nervous. Section Chief Kong has already been locked up. What are you afraid of!"

After that, he winked at Qiu Tu, asking mischievously, "So how is it? Is Section Chief Kong's wife big? Is she smooth?"
