What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Lu Xiu has always been reluctant to use unconventional methods against the two, largely because of their attitudes.

Finally, he found a sufficiently good reason to invite Gu Yuqiu into the Special Affairs Bureau's interrogation room...

The fact that the attitude of this group, represented by Liu Zhan and Song Mingyu, has not changed much is undoubtedly surprising.

Gu Yuqiu has always been proud and has never taken those below the fifth rank seriously, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised at this moment.

With nothing else to do, she asked, "Why do you all think that way?"

"because……"

Liu Zhan hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Your image is too good."

Image encompasses many aspects, including appearance, speech, and numerous subtle details that are difficult to describe in detail but truly exist.

Gu Yuqiu thought this was too superficial.

Song Mingyu looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Most importantly, how could someone as proud as you possibly associate with those shady characters?"

Gu Yuqiu thought that this was indeed the case, and there was no denying it.

If she weren't extremely proud, why would she leave the Divine Will Walker unused, finding even a glance meaningless and feeling that handling him would defile her?

Of course, the most important reason is still that one.

She didn't want to have too deep a karmic connection with this world.

The so-called cause and effect refers to things that outsiders cannot interfere with.

This is also the real reason why Su Yan could not erase it for her, but could only hide it, which forced her to make the trip herself.

But... what is Su Yan doing now?

Gu Yuqiu knew very well that she would have to see Shen Hong today to settle the score from a few days ago.

The question is, how do we pay?

……

……

Lin Mushi remembered the string of numbers she had torn up and sent a very brief message to the other end.

Thus, Lu Xiu also obtained a number.

After a moment's hesitation, he finally made his decision and, after listening to the music for several seconds, uttered those somewhat awkward words.

"What should I call you... Crimson?"

……

……

"Shen Muchan, thank you."

The girl looked up at Su Yan, who was smiling mockingly, and continued, "Excuse me, did you dial the wrong number?"

Lu Xiu thought about it carefully and found that he did not have this name or a similar voice in his memory. He said, "Gu Yuqiu, do you know her?"

Shen Muchan ignored the white cat's meaningful look and said, "I know you, so who are you?"

Su Yan's smile grew even more beautiful, perhaps because she found things were getting interesting?

Lu Xiu wasn't on this side, so he naturally couldn't see the strange scene on the rooftop with the two people and the cat, each with a different expression.

Instead of answering the question, he asked, "You should know about Gu Yuqiu's work, right?"

"Yes."

Shen Muchan said, "Special advisor to the Special Affairs Bureau sounds prestigious, but it's not really suitable for her."

Lu Xiu was taken aback, wondering what kind of nonsense this was, but he didn't dwell on it and said, "Then I'll trouble you to come to the Special Affairs Bureau now."

Shen Muchan sighed, "But I'm very busy right now and can't leave."

Lu Xiu, unsuspecting, calmly said, "Hand your phone over to your boss, and I will resolve this issue for you. There will be no consequences."

"really?"

Shen Muchan looked at Su Yan and smiled at her.

Lu Xiu suddenly asked, "Oh, right, I forgot to ask you a question, what is your relationship with Gu Yuqiu?"

Shen Muchan did not answer.

Because Su Yan came up to her, snatched the phone from her hand, and said something.

"She was just a maid, nothing more."

Chapter 121: Chapter 119 Beginning with Death

"Maid?"

Lu Xiu frowned, listening to the voice he didn't recognize, wondering what was going on this time.

He naturally wouldn't believe that, because Lin Mushi wouldn't inexplicably call a maid at this time—provided Liu Nan's judgment was correct.

Could it be that Lin Mushi wanted to use this maid to inform Gu Yuqiu's parents?

This guess is perfectly logical, and no one can find fault with it; it is the normal reaction of most people when faced with a situation.

The problem is, it doesn't really make any sense.

Once the Special Affairs Bureau has a legitimate reason for carrying out a certain task, no one can stop it, let alone change it.

To put it simply, it means that no matter who comes, it won't make a difference.

Of course, "who" here does not include those seven high-ranking near-god level experts.

Just then, the voice reached Lu Xiu's ears once again.

"Yes, she only has one maid."

"Then who are you to Gu Yuqiu?"

"A friend."

"You are just her friend, you have no right to speak for her."

"She's more qualified than a maid."

"...Yes, would you like to come and sit with this maid?"

It was a very simple conversation with a very direct request, because Lu Xiu didn't want to say too much on the phone, especially about the truly important things.

For example, the origin of Gu Yuqiu.

For example, the relationship between Gu Yuqiu and you.

For example, who exactly is behind Gu Yuqiu?

These days, whenever Lu Xiu finishes his work temporarily, he thinks about these issues, trying to find the truth from various subtle clues.

Unfortunately, I have gained nothing so far.

Lu Xiu waited for a while, and after hearing a "hello" with a complicated meaning, he immediately found that the call had been disconnected.

He wasn't angry. After putting his phone down, he looked up at his secretary, who had just entered the room, and asked, "Have you retrieved all the relevant information?"

The female secretary nodded and said, "Miss Gu's daily activities are very limited. She has basically stayed at home for the past ten days or so. Her record of going out is less than five times. She relies on takeout for three meals a day. However... it's a bit strange that she seems to have bought a lot of groceries, but she doesn't cook."

She paused, then continued, "That's roughly the situation regarding Miss Gu's investigation in real life. And if possible... we will put our findings on Miss Gu's online activities, such as her browser history, which could potentially contain crucial information."

The reason she hesitated so obviously at the end was that investigating a special affairs bureau advisor with great merit was destined to be an extremely troublesome matter, with a heavy process to go through and immense pressure to bear.

Even though Gu Yuqiu was at fault this time, the attitude of the vast majority of people was still clear, just like Liu Zhan and Song Mingyu.

Given Lu Xiu's position of power, he still needs to consider these opinions. Therefore, the latter half of the second episode remains only on paper and has not yet been implemented.

In fact, the way Lu Xiu obtained that string of numbers violated the regulations of the Special Affairs Bureau.

Lu Xiu understood his secretary's concerns and gave her a gentle smile, saying, "Don't overthink it. This is just a special case under special circumstances."

The female secretary lowered her head slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up, smiled back, thanked her softly, closed the door, and left.

Before leaving, she left behind a message.

"By the way, Miss Gu... seems to be particularly popular."

……

……

The river in the distance, bathed quietly in the warm winter sun, has turned into a golden ribbon.

The scenery was beautiful, but Shen Muchan didn't look at it; instead, she stared at the person in front of her.

For some reason, her body was trembling very slightly, as if she wanted to do something, but stopped for some reason.

This was certainly not because of that "hmm".

Su Yan held the phone in her left hand, and extended the index finger of her right hand, placing it on Shen Muchan's brow, freezing her in mid-air.

The wind continues to blow, the clouds keep changing their shape, and the river in the distance flows on and on.

Time seemed to stand still here.

Songtang squatted on the fence, watching the two figures, one tall and one short, and sighed inwardly, thinking that being short really does have its disadvantages.

Fortunately, it wasn't a Munchkin cat.

"Do you understand?"

Su Yan looked at Shen Muchan and said calmly, "How big is the gap between you and me?"

Shen Muchan said expressionlessly, "My injuries haven't healed yet."

Su Yan smiled dismissively, withdrew her index finger from between her eyebrows, then slightly bent it and flicked it gently.

This movement looks weak and casual.

However, the next second, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted.

The sky remains clear.

There was no cloud in the sky; there shouldn't be thunder.
