What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

"I'm not a stray cat, used to being served by servants. She's gone, not even a grave remains. Can't I just find someone and live the life a human cat should live? Hmm, that makes sense, right? Are you going to nitpick about this?"

Su Yan laughed and said, "That makes sense, but unfortunately I happen to have some recollection of your scent."

The white cat was slightly taken aback, wondering what was going on.

Given Lin Mushi's status and position, how could she possibly be qualified to see you, and yet you made a special note of her?

It had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but it didn't know what the problem was.

"Gu Yuqiu."

Su Yan said, "You should be very familiar with this name."

The white cat was completely stunned.

Seeing its reaction, Su Yan's smile widened, and she said, "So you're also one of her keepsakes?"

The white cat really didn't want to talk anymore.

Now that things have come to this, how could it not understand?

The reason it was completely unaware of Su Yan's existence was because Gu Yuqiu deliberately concealed it from it, hiding the lingering scent on its body, not wanting it to be so frightened that it would run away.

Su Yan stroked the cat's head and asked softly, "Why did she leave her things to Gu Yuqiu instead of me?"

The white cat was dumbfounded.

It really didn't know how to answer that question.

It thought about it very carefully and realized that no matter how it answered, it seemed that it would be throwing its life away, except to honestly explain itself.

"Don't be afraid."

Su Yan smiled and said, "It's good that you're telling the truth. I've always been broad-minded, and I wouldn't bully a cat like you."

The white cat didn't believe that. It thought to itself, "Didn't you step on my belly enough times when you had nothing better to do?"

Okay, although it also enjoys being stepped on, it's still a form of bullying!

"Because... Gu Yuqiu is very talented. As for why she didn't leave anything for you, maybe she felt it was unnecessary?"

The white cat pondered for a moment, then looked up and met Su Yan's gaze, indicating that this was the reason it knew.

Su Yan murmured, "Is the reason really that simple?"

The white cat breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it had probably passed this test.

Just then, Su Yan asked another question.

"So, who do you think is prettier, me or Gu Yuqiu?"

This question was terrifying. The white cat's eyes widened suddenly, thinking, "You want me to die, don't you?!"

Su Yan looked at it and hummed in agreement.

This "hmm" sound is very much in line with Gu Yuqiu's style, and its meaning is quite complicated. It probably means, "Do you think this question is difficult for you?"

The white cat quickly shook its head, its eyes full of sincerity: "Of course I think you're beautiful!"

"Then what else do you know?"

Su Yan was satisfied with the answer and then asked, "For example, did she say anything to me before she died?"

The white cat naturally shook its head, after all, that was the truth.

Su Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly seemed a little disheartened and said, "I'll let you off today, but when you get back, keep a close eye on Gu Yuqiu and give me a full explanation next time we meet."

The white cat was a little surprised, thinking, "You let me go so easily, is there a conspiracy behind this?"

Su Yan knew what it was thinking and said a very long sentence.

"It is said that a person dies twice: the first time is when he stops breathing, and the second time is when he is forgotten by everyone."

"That year, we watched a movie together. The theme of the movie was about a person's second death. I still remember it vividly. Now, everyone in the world wants to forget her and calls her by that name. I'm no exception. Maybe one day no one will know her name anymore?"

"But I really don't want to forget her, even if my identity prevents me from expressing these emotions, even if we've been like strangers for years."

"I've always been an outlier in this matter, and you're an outlier too, so I have reason to be nicer to you, that's all."

After saying this, she turned and walked towards the end of the alley without looking back.

The sunlight in the rain fell on Su Yan, casting a long shadow that made her look very tired.

The white cat watched this scene, thinking to itself, "If only you knew that Gu Yuqiu was her..."

Would you be happy or angry at that time?

……

……

Meanwhile, the two people on the other end were still in the rain.

Gu Yuqiu held the umbrella and hadn't spoken for a long time, while Lin Mushi didn't know what to say.

She smelled the fresh scent on her clothes and felt exceptionally comfortable, as if this rain wasn't winter rain and she had returned to a bright spring day.

"you……."

Lin Mushi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Will you stay here after the Xin Chu matter is resolved?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "Why do you ask that?"

Lin Mushi didn't speak. She looked up at the tall building shrouded in rain and mist, thinking to herself, "Of course it's because I'm used to being with you."

Gu Yuqiu knew exactly what she was thinking and said, "Don't you have your own friends?"

Lin Mushi glared at her, slightly annoyed, and said, "They are my friends, but aren't you my friend too? What's wrong with me caring about whether you stay or leave?"

Gu Yuqiu casually said, "Anyone who hears your question will connect it to our previous conversation and think about it more deeply."

Lin Mushi had nothing to say, because she would have done the same in her situation.

"As for your question."

Gu Yuqiu said, "After this matter is settled, I will naturally leave."

Lin Mushi was stunned.

She instinctively thought of something and quickly asked, "What about your current house? You bought a house at full price and are just going to leave it like this?"

Is there a problem?

Gu Yuqiu's tone was very calm, as if it were a matter of course.

Lin Mushi gasped, wondering what kind of family you come from.

She was silent for a moment, then asked seriously, "What do you plan to do with the house after you leave?"

Gu Yuqiu hadn't thought about this question and said, "Just leave it here, spend some money to hire someone to clean it, what else can I do? Do you want me to rent it out?"

Lin Mushi thought to himself, "Of course that's not what I meant."

Although she doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, for some psychological reason, she really can't accept other people living in this house and sitting on the sofa she used to sit on.

Whenever she thinks of that scene, she feels extremely uncomfortable, let alone anything else.

"If you'd like..."

Gu Yuqiu stopped and turned to look at her, saying, "Then after I leave, I'll give this house to you."

Lin Mushi's mouth was slightly open. It took her a while to come to her senses. She said in a strange tone, "Are you saying you want to... keep me as a mistress, to keep me as a mistress in a golden cage?"

"No."

Gu Yuqiu calmly said, "I used you in some ways, and this is my reward, nothing more."

Lin Mushi had long known that she had an extraordinary background and was hiding a great secret, so she wasn't surprised to hear this. She smiled and said, "Then tell me, in what way did you use me?"

Gu Yuqiu asked, "Do you really want to know?"

Lin Mushi thought for a moment and asked, "What you're about to do... is it harmful to the country or society?"

Gu Yuqiu shook her head and said, "No."

Hearing this, Lin Mushi finally felt relieved and smiled sweetly, saying, "Then you can use it!"

Chapter 39: This Life's Deepest Sins

"Thank you……"

Gu Yuqiu sighed, "Unfortunately, everything I just said was a lie."

Lin Mushi's smile gradually faded, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Are you implying that what you're about to do is illegal?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuqiu suddenly took a step forward, clasped his hands together in front of her, and his smile deepened as he said, "Yes, are you going to arrest me?"

The sound of rain grew increasingly loud.

The world under the umbrella grew even quieter.

Lin Mushi forced herself to control her emotions, took a deep breath, and looked at her, saying, "Can you be a little more serious? I wasn't joking with you just now!"

Gu Yuqiu smiled but remained silent.

"no!"

Lin Mushi suddenly felt a headache coming on and asked in confusion, "Don't you have any feelings at all after hearing what I said? I was serious!"

If it were her, hearing her friend so sincerely trust her, even if she didn't say anything on the surface and pretended to be calm, she would be secretly moved and would never be able to joke about it!

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "There really isn't."

Lin Mushi stared into her eyes, her breathing becoming heavier, and asked, "Why?"

Gu Yuqiu sighed and said, "My sins in this life are too heavy, I dare not ask for anything more."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Mushi lost her temper and complained, "What nonsense are you spouting? How old are you? How can you be considered sinful? Were you a 'green tea' girl before, someone who preyed on men, liked to break up couples, and toy with other people's feelings?"

"So there are still people in this world worth my deliberate manipulation?"

Gu Yuqiu's eyes were full of curiosity.

Lin Mushi was speechless, thinking that what Gu Yuqiu said was too terrible. Just as she was about to scold Gu Yuqiu, her phone rang.

"It's the bureau chief's call..."
