What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Gu Yuqiu remained calm as always, and sighed softly, saying, "You're overthinking it."

Lu Xiu asked, "Where?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "Being rejected after confessing your feelings doesn't mean you should feel down, because you need to know why you were rejected."

Lu Xiu was silent for a while, then repeated her last words.

"This is a matter of privacy."

"If I were you, I wouldn't give such a guilty answer."

"Wrong, this answer has nothing to do with feeling guilty."

"What's the reason?"

“Bystanders have a clearer view, so what they say is undoubtedly more credible. This is what witness testimony means, and I have many witnesses.”

"...I didn't expect you to be willing to lose face."

Lu Xiu looked at her and said, his brows furrowing slightly, his eyes revealing a lot of surprise.

In his mind, Gu Yuqiu was undoubtedly an extremely proud person who could not tolerate any flaws or compromises.

Why did he make this judgment?

Of course, it was because the two had clashed once before, and in the end, despite having all the advantages of timing, location, and popular support, he, as the director of the New Chu Special Affairs Bureau, still failed.

That was the beginning of his suspicions about Gu Yuqiu.

From that day on, he constantly searched for information about the other party, built up an image of them and made calculations, trying to deduce the other party's logic of action.

Therefore, when he received Gu Yuqiu's call and heard her words about the failed confession, he was shocked and even unable to understand.

Is pride all an illusion?

Thinking about these things, Lu Xiu became more and more puzzled, wondering if he had forgotten something.

Gu Yuqiu suddenly asked, "You just asked me so many questions about my past, from childhood to adulthood, all sorts of random and inexplicable things. Is that enough?"

Lu Xiu was slightly taken aback, not understanding why she was saying these things.

"Those are all true."

Gu Yuqiu slowly picked up her teacup, brought it to her lips, and slowly drank the coffee in the cup. She let out a pleasant sigh and then said, "But that's all in the past."

Lu Xiu understood.

He glanced at the staff member in charge of recording, made a gesture, indicating that the following conversation should not continue and that all surveillance should be turned off.

The staff member was quite puzzled, thinking that they were obviously about to reach a crucial point, so why were they doing this?

However, someone like him, with such strong professional ethics, did not hesitate to follow his superior's orders, turned off all the equipment, and left the interrogation room.

Silence fell once again.

All of this happened in a very short time; Lu Xiu's judgment and decision, as well as the staff member's reaction, all occurred in the blink of an eye.

Next came Gu Yuqiu's voice.

"On your first day in Xin Chu, you sent people to monitor me. Even after Shen Hong killed many people, you did not completely give up and persisted."

She looked at Lu Xiu and said with emotion, "I thought that after all you've done, you should have a certain understanding of me, but I didn't expect you to still be so one-sided."

Lu Xiu asked indifferently, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Those words about surveillance were something he absolutely could not admit, and he didn't want to be involved in them at all.

Of course, if Gu Yuqiu were an ordinary person, these problems would not exist, and he would not have to have such a headache and would have to act tactfully.

He said expressionlessly, "Please answer that question from before."

Gu Yuqiu gave a slight, mocking smile and asked, "What's the problem?"

"Why were you happy after being rejected, yet you asked me to go to the scene under the pretext of wanting to see the path Lin Mushi had walked? It's such a contradictory thing."

Lu Xiu paused, then added, "Also, I need to remind you that turning off the device doesn't mean you can lie here."

The interrogation rooms of the Special Affairs Bureau are naturally different from those in ordinary police stations.

It possesses extraordinary abilities without a physical form, lurking in the air, monitoring the entire state of the person being interrogated, and can easily determine whether a statement is a lie.

"idiot."

Gu Yuqiu's smile grew even more mocking as she sighed and said, "Why don't you go and find out why she rejected me?"

Lu Xiu was stunned.

"I kissed her, and she got angry and turned away."

Gu Yuqiu said, "I can't think of any reason why I should feel down after such a rejection."

Lu Xiu stared into her eyes and asked earnestly, "What about 'seeing someone and thinking of them'?"

This was the most crucial reason Gu Yuqiu gave when she applied to go to the scene.

"That makes it even simpler."

Gu Yuqiu's smile faded, and she looked at him with pity in her eyes, saying, "I really want to see her today, but she definitely doesn't want to see me, so I can only look at her and think of her."

Lu Xiu didn't know what to say.

This is a perfectly reasonable argument, but he didn't think about it at all, only that the whole thing was utterly absurd.

In his view, a refusal should be clean and decisive, without any lingering attachments, let alone saying goodbye with tears in one's eyes.

"You're over thirty years old now, and you've never even been in a relationship?"

Gu Yuqiu looked at the face under the incandescent light and asked curiously.

Chapter 123: Chapter 121 The Storm Has Calmed Down

Lu Xiu remained silent for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "That's not important."

Gu Yuqiu smiled but remained silent.

"I will investigate your explanation."

Lu Xiu then asked, "So, what's the explanation for your sudden jump afterward?"

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "What do you think of the explanation 'being moved by the scenery'? Is it acceptable?"

Lu Xiu looked at her expressionlessly and said in a slightly cold voice, "I find it hard to understand what you're thinking when you ask me this question."

Before Gu Yuqiu could speak, he continued, "Or do you believe you've cleared your name and have no problems whatsoever?"

From any perspective, this kind of questioning, which turns the tables on the guest, is far too arrogant.

If someone who is unaware of the events in the story were present, upon hearing this, they would naturally assume that the two share the same stance and are now exchanging statements.

This is something Lu Xiu cannot accept.

"Because I think you're very professional."

Gu Yuqiu's smile widened, her tone light and cheerful: "Isn't this just asking for your opinion?"

After he finished speaking, the interrogation room fell silent.

The sound of the air conditioner operating became clear again, gradually growing into a thunderous roar.

That was Lu Xiu's anger.

Gu Yuqiu glanced at him and casually asked, "Are you angry?"

Lu Xiu remained silent.

Gu Yuqiu didn't care and continued, "Not showing your emotions, you're over thirty years old, how come you still can't learn this? What a pity."

Lu Xiu asked, "Is that enough?"

From the moment she asked that curious question about being single, Gu Yuqiu smiled slightly, her tone becoming increasingly casual and indifferent, completely out of place in the cold atmosphere of the interrogation room.

Interestingly, many of the words she spoke ended with the word "ya".

This seems like a very ordinary thing, but it is not so for her, because she is always aloof and speaks very indifferently in front of people she doesn't know well.

Few people have seen her other side.

So when she changed her usual way of speaking and deliberately used a playful accent, adding that "ya" sound, it didn't bring her any cuteness at all.

All that remained was unbearable mockery.

"well enough."

Gu Yuqiu's smile faded, and she said calmly, "After all, I just wanted to teach you some things."

Lu Xiu couldn't help but sneer, looking into her eyes and asking, "You'll teach me?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "Otherwise what?"

Lu Xiu asked, "Then I'm very curious, what exactly did all these things you did teach me?"

"I guess... you're over thirty, so don't be so naive?"

Gu Yuqiu sighed, "Despite holding a high position, he relied solely on his intuition to act, taking action without any evidence and disregarding the consequences. And what was the result?"

Lu Xiu did not speak.

Judging from the results, he is close to failure this time, and there is probably no possibility of a turnaround.

However, what exactly does Gu Yuqiu's attitude at this moment mean?

Thinking about these things, he suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought that the audio and video recordings were actually not turned off, and everything you just said was recorded?"

Gu Yuqiu gave him an appreciative look and said, "And then?"

That's what it means to assume what you're saying is true.

It's still the same feeling as before.

—It doesn't matter, I still have confidence.

Lu Xiu was silent for a moment, then looked at her and said, "I'm really curious now, who exactly is your backer, and where does your confidence come from?"

He looked extremely serious when he said this, but he didn't expect to get a reply.

Who is my backer?
