Hearing the cold voice without any warmth in his ear, Qiu Tu's lips curled up into an imperceptible smile.
It seems that the fish has finally taken the bait. I have waited patiently for so long.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly and walked towards his office.
There was no change in any of his movements, so outsiders could hardly see anything unusual.
Only Tang Feifei, who came out right behind him, gave him a strange look.
Tang Feifei obviously wanted to ask Qiu Tu to chat with her, but she raised her hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally put it down.
In this way, accompanied by Tao Yaoyao and Shen Lingshuang, he returned to his office.
Qiu Tu asked the two of them to rest first, while he entered the office alone.
Arriving at the deputy speaker's luxurious office, Qiu Tu locked the door and turned on the anti-eavesdropping and anti-surveillance equipment on the table.
The next second, Zhao Ji's figure slowly appeared in the office.
This woman is similar to her sister La Riluo, both have the ability to become invisible.
However, I don’t know if this ability is their catastrophic ability, path ability, or evil god ability.
While thinking this, Qiu Tu stretched out his hand to motion to the sofa, and then said gently, "Your Highness, please sit down."
Zhao Ji is obviously not a person who is easily manipulated. This can be seen from the fact that after Qiu Tu "explained" the truth to her, she still left temporarily and then went to verify it alone.
Therefore, she didn't even move her body, and even the expression on her face didn't change at all, as if she didn't hear anything.
Qiu Tu had already learned about the great evil god in front of him from La Riluo's "memory fragments", so he didn't care about it. Instead, he thoughtfully poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhao Ji.
This time Zhao Ji still didn't answer, but went straight to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, overlooking the disaster-stricken Dongcheng City.
Qiu Tu's etiquette was in place and he didn't feel embarrassed. Zhao Ji didn't drink, so he picked it up and took a sip.
After taking a sip of water and moistening his throat, Qiu Tu said, "What does Your Highness Zhao Ji want to talk to me about?"
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji clasped her hands behind her back, her disheveled hair hanging casually on her shoulders, like an ancient iceberg.
"In the past few hours, I have gone to learn about the recent conflicts between Mu Ye and you."
"You want to borrow a knife to kill someone, right?"
Qiu Tu was not surprised that Zhao Ji could see through this.
After all, there may be fools among evil gods, but the probability of having fools among great evil gods is very low.
After all, it is easy to obtain one piece of "Boundless Heart Sea Area", but it is too difficult to obtain nine pieces of "Boundless Heart Sea Area".
Strength, luck, and wisdom are all indispensable.
If Zhao Ji couldn't see this little thought of hers, then she would probably have been swallowed up in the evil world where "the weak eat the strong" is the law.
Therefore, Qiu Tu nodded without any hesitation, "Yes, Your Highness."
"My thoughts are indeed not pure when it comes to letting you deal with Mu Ye."
"Compared to you, Mu Ye is too hostile to humans and Dongye Prefecture."
"Besides, if I can kill him, I can also go to the next level."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji slowly turned around. Her eyes were as deep as a cold pool, shining with a cold light.
She looked at Qiu Tu and said expressionlessly, "You are honest."
Qiu Tu said with a smile, "I have no other abilities. My greatest advantage is honesty."
Hearing this, Zhao Ji looked deeply at Qiu Tu, but still did not answer.
She was silent for two seconds, and then said, "How sure are you about the matter of "Shangen"?"
Qiu Tu took another sip of water and said, "About 90%."
"I'm 90% sure that Mu Ye discovered Shan Gen."
Zhao Ji raised her eyes to look at Qiu Tu and said coldly, "You are quite confident."
Qiu Tu smiled, "Because I trust my own brain and analysis."
He said, "Mu Ye has been keeping a low profile and developing in secret. Why did he suddenly expose himself?"
"Only when the benefits outweigh the risks, people will be willing to take a gamble, right?"
"So, he obviously has an agenda for making such a big fuss."
"And combined with the news he spread, I feel that there is a 90% chance that the news about "Yamane" is true."
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji thought quietly for a while.
After a moment, she nodded slightly and agreed, "What you said makes sense."
After hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu lowered his head and took a sip of water again, with more and more smiles on his face.
As a result, at this moment, Zhao Ji suddenly spoke again.
She looked at Qiu Tu with her dark eyes, and then said, "However, although what happened with "Shan Gen" is most likely true, it does not mean that I need to fight Mu Ye to the death."
"According to my information, it seems that Mu Ye hasn't obtained "Yamane" yet, right?"
After hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu's expression froze, and an ominous premonition suddenly occurred in his heart.
Sure enough, the next second, Zhao Ji put her hands behind her back and said expressionlessly, "Even from the information I got, many people suspect that "Shan Gen" is actually in your hands."
"How do you explain that?"
After hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu raised his head and looked at her.
Across the office, the two men stared at each other.
Qiu Tu raised his hand and swore, "I can swear on my life that I don't know where the "mountain root" is."
"I don't know what "mountain root" is."
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's eyes did not waver, as if she were looking at an ant.
She clasped her hands behind her back, looked at Qiu Tu with indifferent eyes, and said calmly, "Qiu Tu, although I failed to advance to level 6, I have also crossed that threshold."
"It's no problem if I take half a step to level 6."
"So, there may be someone above you, but there is no one above me."
"So, if you dare to lie to me, neither Rao Shou nor Huang Shangzong can save you."
After hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu's eyes did not waver.
Even though Zhao Ji's expression was so cold and her threats were so fierce, Qiu Tu was actually not nervous at all.
The reason is simple. His "crisis sense" was not triggered at all.
This shows that Zhao Ji has no murderous intention at all.
It's like, the reason why Qiu Tu dared to rescue La Riluo under Zhao Ji's nose this morning was because he had formulated the entire "rescue plan" in detail after discovering La Riluo.
After confirming that this plan did not trigger the "sense of crisis" and would not be life-threatening, Qiu Tu ran to Zhao Ji and showed off his affection.
When Zhao Ji took action and prepared to kill Qiu Tu, it was the same reason.
Despite Zhao Ji's strong voice and cold and decisive eyes, her "crisis sense" still didn't sound.
Therefore, Qiu Tu did not run away, but stood in front of Zhao Ji and waited for Zhao Ji to take action. Only then did he win Zhao Ji's trust.
Therefore, after coming into contact with Zhao Ji these few times, Qiu Tu discovered that Zhao Ji did not seem to be that kind of evil god.
On the contrary, most of the time, I am emotionally stable and do not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Therefore, facing Zhao Ji's another temptation, Qiu Tu said frankly, "Your Highness, if I deceive you, I will kill myself without you having to do anything!"
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's aura slowly calmed down.
But she still didn't stop testing Qiu Tu.
She stared at Qiu Tu's eyes closely, and then said, "'Mountain roots' are generally living creatures. Who are the people around you who were brought from New Territories City to Dongcheng City?"
"Let me see you."
Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu's expression froze. Zhao Ji was keenly aware of the change in Qiu Tu's expression. She said "huh?" and asked, "Is it inconvenient?"
At this time, Qiu Tu had already calmed down. He smiled and said, "What are you going to do?"
He said, "Then I will let them come in now to meet with Her Majesty Zhao Ji."
Having said this, Qiu Tu paused and said, "However, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Your Highness Zhao Ji, you may need to hide aside and check quietly."
Zhao Ji nodded slightly, then said a cold "hmm", and the next second, her figure slowly disappeared from the place, completely invisible.
Qiu Tu mentally swept over and confirmed that Zhao Ji was still standing there. He returned to his desk and sat down, then pressed the button to call his secretary.
For a moment, there was a sound of high heels outside the house. Then, the office door was opened from the outside.
Tao Yaoyao walked in from outside.
"Speaker, are you looking for me?"
Qiu Tu said "hmm", then waved Tao Yaoyao to his side and started chatting about work.
Just like that, very quickly, 2 minutes passed.
After seeing the invisible Zhao Ji shaking her head slightly, Qiu Tu stopped chatting in time and said, "Okay, Secretary Tao, you can go down first."
"By the way, call the director of security over here."
"Yes." After hearing Qiu Tu's arrangement, Tao Yaoyao responded, then walked out of the office and went to call Guan Xiao.
After a while, Guan Xiao came to the office, and Qiu Tu started chatting with Guan Xiao as usual.
This time, within a minute, Zhao Ji shook her head towards Qiu Tu.
So, Qiu Tu patted Guan Xiao's buttocks and said, "Okay, let's go down and call Xiao Liu over."
"I know~~ Speaker." Guan Xiao winked at Qiu Tu, then twisted his waist and walked away.
After a while, Ding Xiaoliu came to the office.
In this way, Qiu Tu called almost everyone around him in this way of calling people.
When the last person left the office, Zhao Ji looked at Qiu Tu with cold eyes, and then said, "Qiu Tu, did you miss someone?"
"Is someone missing?" Qiu Tu asked pretending to be confused, "Who is missing?"
Zhao Ji said, "I am with you today, a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. She is quite beautiful, but her breasts are very flat."
Zhao Ji keenly captured the special features of Shen Lingshuang, which made Qiu Tu burst into laughter for a moment.
After laughing, Qiu Tu said frankly, "Your Highness, she is actually not the person around me, but her family."
"But since you want to see it, then take a look at her."
With that said, Qiu Tu pressed the secretariat button again.
This time, after pressing the button, Qiu Tu said directly, "Ask Shen Lingshuang to come over."
"Yes." Tao Yaoyao's voice sounded on the other side of the phone.
After a few seconds, Shen Lingshuang waved her hands and walked into the office innocently.
Seeing Qiu Tu, she smiled sweetly and said, "Qiu Tu, are you looking for me?"
Qiu Tu smiled and waved to her, and then chatted about her recent production of the cataclysmic treasure phantom and cataclysmic potion.
During this period, Qiu Tu used "fighting games" and "salvage games" almost every night to obtain disaster materials.
Although the material obtained is not a lot, it has accumulated a lot over time.
As for Qiu Tu, there was only Shen Lingshuang, a pharmacist and an instrument maker, so of course they were all given to her and left to her to watch.
According to Shen Lingshuang, things are still being made, and the results should be available in two days.
This actually made Qiu Tu look forward to it.
In this way, after chatting for seven or eight minutes, Zhao Ji never gave Qiu Tu a signal.
Qiu Tu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhao Ji strangely.
As a result, he saw Zhao Ji frowning slightly and observing Shen Lingshuang's situation carefully, as if something surprising had happened to her.
Perhaps noticing Qiu Tu looking over, Zhao Ji came back to her senses and then gestured.
Qiu Tu then encouraged Shen Lingshuang a few words and asked her to leave first.
After Shen Lingshuang left, Qiu Tu calmly picked up the water glass, then looked at Zhao Ji and asked, "Your Highness Zhao Ji, is there any result?"
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji did not answer immediately.
She seemed to have thought of something, and then she thought expressionlessly for more than ten seconds before turning her stern eyes on Qiu Tu.
"Have you known for a long time that she is not "Yamane"?"
Although Zhao Ji said it as a question, her tone was extremely certain.
Hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded and admitted with a smile, "Absolutely. But I'm not 100% sure, just 90% sure."
"But now that I have the answer from you, I feel completely relieved."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji was rarely distracted from her thoughts and topics.
She asked, "How did you guess that?"
Qiu Tu pointed at his head and said, "Rely on your brain."
Qiu Tu lit up a cigarette and said with a distant look while smoking, "Actually, from the very beginning, I have doubted Lingshuang's identity."
"But I don't doubt that she is a Yamane, but I suspect that she is not."
"The reason is simple."
Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then said, "I asked myself, if I discovered a business opportunity, would I tell everyone in a big way? Or would I quietly make a fortune first?"
"I thought about it for a long time and felt that I would definitely choose the latter."
"And this matter is similar to the matter of "Muye & Yamane"."
"If Mu Ye really finds out that Lingshuang is a mountain root, will he make a big show of letting everyone know that Lingshuang is a treasure, let Dongye Prefecture pay attention to Shen Lingshuang, and let countless people covet Shen Lingshuang?"
"Or should we kidnap Lingshuang quietly without disturbing anyone?"
"I think, according to normal logic, he will choose the latter."
"And when I reasoned about this, things suddenly became simple."
"Why does Muye keep hinting to Dongyezhou that something is wrong with Shen Lingshuang?"
"Quite simply, he is diverting attention and sowing discord."
"He hopes to turn everyone's attention to Shen Lingshuang and me, or to make the top officials in the state suspicious of each other."
"In this way, he can have enough time to get the real "mountain root"!"
"For this reason, he even did not hesitate to project himself to fight against our three fourth-level catastrophes."
"The reason why he does all this is for acting."
"This is just like the military strategy used by his disciple "Scarface": building plank roads openly and secretly attacking Chencang!"
After listening to Qiu Tu's analysis, Zhao Ji nodded slightly with an expressionless face, rarely agreeing with Qiu Tu's analysis.
However, after the recognition was over, she said calmly, "Your analysis is correct."
"'Shan Gen' is not by your side, everything is Mu Ye's cover-up."
Having said this, she paused and said, "But...that girl does have a problem."
She glanced at Qiu Tu and then said, "Didn't you realize that she is not a complete person?"
"Her soul is not complete."
"Or to put it more directly, she is actually part of someone else's lost soul."
