What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Su Yan interrupted his thoughts, her voice slightly cold as she said, "Then I will bring Gu Yuqiu now."

Lu Xiu shook his head and said, "Not yet."

The Special Affairs Bureau has a very complete set of rules and regulations, which he was unwilling to violate at will in the past, and he will naturally be no exception today.

More importantly, he wanted to ask Gu Yuqiu again to see if he could get any information about the messenger of the natural disaster from her.

Half an hour.

Su Yan looked at him indifferently and said, "I will give you what you need, in exchange for Gu Yuqiu appearing before me."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the conference room door, leaving with Shen Muchan.

Just then, Lu Xiu's voice rang out.

“From now until the upheaval in Xin Chu is over, you must stay by Gu Yuqiu’s side, monitor her every move, and make sure she doesn’t do anything unusual.”

He looked at Su Yan's retreating figure and said earnestly, "This is what you need to do."

Su Yan didn't turn around and said, "Must?"

Lu Xiu said, "Yes."

Su Yan turned her head to look at him, a slight smile of appreciation on her lips, and said, "Okay."

Chapter 124: The Reason for Everything

What followed happened quickly; those procedures that were usually extremely troublesome suddenly disappeared completely, without any omissions.

Even so, the process still took half an hour before Lu Xiu finally signed his name on the last relevant document.

At the same time, Su Yan made all the promises she made during the conversation, including the promises made in the name of the innocent empress herself.

Lu Xiu looked at the reports on the screen, but instead of immediately reading them, he closed his eyes and raised his hand to rub his temples.

These materials are certainly important.

But he didn't care much, because the relevant reports were delivered directly to him through the official channels of the natural disaster messengers.

That means it can't be fake.

He couldn't understand it. He felt that the mystery surrounding Gu Yuqiu was still as deep and complex as the sea, and all he had managed to peel back was the outermost layer.

Just then, the female secretary delivered a message.

Liu Nan was outside his office, anxiously wanting to see him, saying it was urgent.

"wait."

Upon seeing this name, Lu Xiu's mood worsened, and he replied, "I'm busy with something."

After replying, he simply reclined the chair and lay down.

……

……

Leaving the interrogation room, in the deep and long corridor, not a single extra person could be seen.

None of the Special Affairs Bureau agents who harbored goodwill towards Gu Yuqiu arrived; only a few relevant staff members appeared, their expressions serious.

Gu Yuqiu didn't care about the loneliness, but she didn't want others to be punished because of her, so she asked the staff next to her and received an accurate answer.

Whether it was Liu Zhan, Song Mingyue, or the rest of the group in the chat, they were still having a lively time.

Unfortunately, it seems that Lu Xiu was aware of this excitement and gave a warning in advance, which is why he is calm now.

Gu Yuqiu nodded, somewhat satisfied, and thanked the staff member.

Just then, a voice rang out at the end of the passage.

"So you're this polite?"

Su Yan walked out from around the corner, quietly looking at her with no expression on her face.

The staff members stopped, pretended not to hear what he said, and looked at Gu Yuqiu, indicating that she could leave on her own.

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Then she walked to the end of the passage, brushed past Su Yan, entered the elevator, and saw the petite girl holding a cat.

She looked at Shen Muchan quietly, but said nothing.

Shen Muchan felt uncomfortable under her gaze and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "I'm waiting for your thank you."

Shen Muchan was stunned, thinking to herself, what kind of nonsense is this?

She glanced around and confirmed that they were still in the Special Affairs Bureau, a place where, barring Su Yan's intervention, they were highly likely to be kept there.

"Thank you."

She avoided Gu Yuqiu's gaze and said in a slightly cold voice, "Although I don't know what to thank you for."

As she said this, Su Yan returned to the elevator. With a slight movement of her fingertips, an aura silently spread, isolating her from external observation.

"If she hadn't been arrested, you would have been punished by me. Don't you deserve a thank you?" Su Yan's tone was exceptionally calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Shen Muchan sneered, looked up at Gu Yuqiu, and said mockingly, "Is this why you were arrested?"

"Yes."

Gu Yuqiu reached out, ignoring the extremely cold gaze, ruffled the girl's hair, and said with a smile, "Who told you to be so cute when you're angry?"

Su Yan saw everything but remained silent.

Shen Muchan was very angry and extremely annoyed, but dared not speak.

This was related to the white cat lying in her arms, but it was more due to the occasion.

To be precise, it was because of Su Yan standing next to her.

This person was clearly in a bad mood, and the reason for her bad mood was probably the scene at this moment. So she could only pretend to be dead without saying a word to avoid being seen as flirting.

For some reason, the elevator, which is usually very fast, seemed to be moving very slowly today, and it took a long time to return to the ground.

Gu Yuqiu was still rubbing her hair.

Where does the wind come from in the elevator?

Shen Muchan's hair became increasingly disheveled, and her mood worsened accordingly. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she angrily said, "Gu Yuqiu, do you really want to die?"

Gu Yuqiu said with a smile, "I thought you were mute."

It was quite a coincidence.

Just like how disgusting people open the door for their disgusting mothers, the elevator doors opened as soon as the colleague finished speaking.

It was still early, and the sun was still a long way from setting. Warm sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows and fell on the three of them.

The white cat jumped down from Shen Muchan's arms, basking in the sunlight, stretched lazily, and even meowed, attracting many eyes.

The special agents who were pretending to be indifferent bystanders could no longer keep up the act. Song Mingyu came over directly, squatted down, and petted the cat while imitating its meows.

The scene suddenly became lively, no longer quiet.

These so-called passersby are, of course, the backbone of the New Chu Special Affairs Bureau.

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "Didn't Lu Xiu warn you all?"

Liu Zhan noticed her confusion and said, "This is a place where it's okay to make noise."

After saying this, he glanced at Su Yan, wanting to ask her a few questions, but ultimately remained silent.

"I have some things to do."

Gu Yuqiu said to Liu Zhan, "The cat can stay here for now."

She had important things to do next and it wasn't appropriate for her to bring Songtang and Shen Muchan with her.

Upon hearing this, Shen Muchan couldn't help but look at her, thinking to herself, "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Then let's leave it at that."

Su Yan suddenly said.

Shen Muchan immediately fell silent.

Liu Zhan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

The white cat, who had never left, could hear the conversation, but it didn't care at all. It twisted its fat body to avoid the man's outstretched hand and naturally snuggled into the woman's arms, feeling the unique warmth, and squinted its eyes to look ahead.

It was the warm sunlight of winter, the two people walking side by side again after a long separation, and many memories that seemed so recent yet already felt so distant.

Thinking this to herself, the white cat looked up at Shen Muchan and meowed.

……

……

Under the sun, in the cold wind.

The Special Affairs Bureau is located in the center of New Chu City, a bustling area. It was afternoon, and the streets were already crowded with pedestrians, so there was no suitable place to talk.

The two walked casually, but unknowingly and with great tacit understanding, they left the noisy area and arrived at a park in the Bay Area.

Looking back, the Special Affairs Bureau building was still in sight, but now it seemed a long way off.

Gu Yuqiu waved her hand, summoning a gentle breeze that swept away the dust from the park benches. She sat down, squinting as she gazed into the distance.

The weather is great today, but the wind at the beach is still quite strong, and the waves are making waves.

The sun has never paid any attention to these things.

It shines quietly, making the fine snowflakes look like burning stars, but everything is fleeting and doesn't last long.

"From a human perspective, the life of each star is extremely long, but in the grand scheme of the universe, this long life is but a fleeting moment."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Therefore, while I am alive, I should always think more about how I should live my life."

To compare oneself to the stars would undoubtedly be arrogant to humankind, but for her it became a form of humility.

Su Yan glanced at her.

The meaning of that glance is extremely complex. It might be that you're thinking about what you're doing, that you still have so much time to waste, that the sun is shining brightly now, and that the darkness of death is incredibly far away.
