In fact, she would have preferred to pour Lin Mushi a glass of wine, but unfortunately, there was none in the training room.
Lin Mushi suddenly said, "I've thought it over carefully, and I'm going to..."
Gu Yuqiu interrupted her and said, "You're planning to go to Zhong Chongshan and ask him to transfer you away from me. Your idea is that you consider me a friend and don't want to implicate me."
When she said this, her tone was no different from usual, but it sounded particularly mocking.
Before Lin Mushi could even open her mouth to defend herself, she heard her words again.
"I've seen a lot of idiots, and quite a few naive people too."
She said with a sigh, "But I've never met anyone as idiotic, naive, and adorably stupid as you."
Lin Mushi had never been scolded like this before, so she was naturally angry, but she forced herself to calm down and said to her, "There's something wrong with what you said."
Gu Yuqiu glanced at her and calmly asked, "For example?"
"First of all, I think naivety includes stupidity, which is what you usually call being an idiot."
Lin Mushi said seriously, "Of course you can say that you deliberately used three words with repetitive meanings to emphasize this point, but I don't agree."
Gu Yuqiu found this interesting and said, "So, besides stupidity, what else does naivety include?"
Without a second thought, Lin Mushi directly stated her opinion: "A clean, clear, and innocent curiosity."
Gu Yuqiu had a different opinion on this, but remained silent.
"Furthermore, you've got one more thing wrong."
Lin Mushi said expressionlessly, "I have nothing to do with being cute!"
Gu Yuqiu glanced at her, shook his head and said, "You certainly don't look cute, but the word 'cute' is used to describe your stupidity, so just accept it."
Lin Mushi couldn't help but sneer and said, "I think in your eyes, everyone is a so-called adorable person. The difference is whether they're adorably stupid or something else!"
You're wrong again.
Gu Yuqiu smiled and said, "I never thought Su Yan was ever cute."
After saying that, Lin Mushi paused for a moment, then bit her lower lip, stood up, and left without looking back.
For some reason, she felt uncomfortable whenever she heard Su Yan's name; she just felt annoyed whenever she saw that person.
……
……
Leaving the depths of the interrogation room and walking down that long corridor, Su Yan took the elevator back to the ground floor.
The rain had stopped, but the clouds in the sky hadn't dispersed, blocking out much of the sunlight, leaving only a few rays that fell and illuminated the dust in the air.
She stood quietly by the window, watching, and then heard footsteps.
"Miss Su."
Liu Nan came to her side and said in a low voice, "There are a few questions about Gu Yuqiu that I'd like to discuss with you."
Su Yan didn't look at him and said, "On my first night in Xin Chu, when I met Gu Yuqiu at the hot pot restaurant, you were sitting behind the surveillance camera, right?"
Those who have gone far enough on the path to godhood, regardless of the path they have taken, will develop an intuition about matters concerning themselves, and may even have direct images appearing in their eyes.
Liu Nan apologized very sincerely.
Su Yan glanced at him and said, "If I were you, I would have turned around and left by now."
Liu Nan had already considered this situation and was not embarrassed. He calmly said, "Because I firmly believe that Gu Yuqiu is a problematic person, I have no reason to leave."
Su Yan remained expressionless and said, "The one who deliberately brought up Gu Yuqiu in front of me, saying that she was related to my teacher, was you. So why do you think I would help you?"
Liu Nan looked into her eyes and said sincerely, "Because I believe in your identity and your determination to uphold your responsibilities."
Su Yan hummed in agreement.
This is something she has always insisted on, and she has never given up despite any changes, and today is no exception.
Moreover, she wanted to find out what was going on with Gu Yuqiu.
"Gu Yuqiu's background is clean."
Liu Nan breathed a sigh of relief and began to recount: "Her family was very wealthy and never lacked money. Everyone in her family was healthy and alive, and she even had a younger sister with a clearly verifiable resume... But I still felt something was off."
Su Yan said, "In modern society, it's very difficult to forge a genuine identity that can withstand investigation. Do you think she can do it?"
Liu Nan was very clear about this matter and continued, "I don't know, but I think her abilities seem incompatible with her upbringing."
"What is the name of that ability?"
"A true lie."
Su Yan suddenly fell silent.
Liu Nan looked at her, waiting quietly, wondering if he had really guessed right?
Just then, Su Yan suddenly turned around and walked in the direction she left, leaving him behind, not knowing where she was going.
……
……
Once time starts to pass, it's always hard to keep up.
After a thorough analysis, the specific orders for tonight's operation were finally assigned to the participants.
Thus, the encirclement and suppression operation entered the preparation stage.
White Horse Lake is some distance from the Special Affairs Bureau's office building and belongs to another district. The surrounding area is sparsely populated and very quiet.
In places like this, a large gathering of people can easily attract attention and scare away the superhumans who come to the party.
Fortunately, the hotel next to Baima Lake often hosts meetings, and there happens to be a meeting there tomorrow.
The Special Affairs Bureau is known for its swift action, and this issue was resolved while an internal meeting was being held.
Gu Yuqiu, Lin Mushi, and certain others were tasked with checking into that hotel, observing closely, and providing information on the participants of that illegal gathering.
As evening fell, the two, like ordinary tourists, took a ride-hailing car to the front of the understated yet luxurious hotel and began the check-in process.
Following them, other members of the Special Affairs Bureau will arrive, while many more will wait in various ways to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.
After checking in, Gu Yuqiu walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out at the lake called Baima.
Night fell quietly, and the distant high-rises began to glitter. The beautiful lakes and mountains, which were particularly pleasing to the eye in late spring and midsummer, were now draped in a black curtain.
She watched quietly for a while, then turned and left the room, going to another room and knocking.
The door to the room was opened.
Lin Mushi tilted her head and looked at her through the crack in the door, somewhat surprised, wondering why she came over as soon as she sat down.
Before she could say anything, Gu Yuqiu pushed open the door and entered.
At the same time, she tossed a ring into Lin Mushi's hand and said, "Put it on."
Chapter 44: Let the Cat Go!
Lin Mushi took the ring, then froze.
She was deeply impressed by the ring, knowing that its name was Absolution and that it was a rare and precious relic in the world.
She knew that Gu Yuqiu's identity and background were very mysterious, and that her background might be terrifying, far beyond that of an ordinary rich woman, but she was still very surprised at this moment.
And I was moved.
"Me...and what about you?"
She looked at the ring on her hand and said earnestly, "You probably need it more than I do, right?"
Gu Yuqiu didn't turn around and continued walking deeper into the room, saying, "What you need to think about now is not this kind of meaningless thing."
Lin Mushi didn't know what to say.
She closed the door, looked at the girl who was already sitting in the chair, and wondered what she was thinking.
Gu Yuqiu's thoughts were actually quite simple.
Lin Mushi and she had spent some time together, and she was quite happy. He was her first follower. If he died like this, wouldn't that be a disgrace to her?
However, she is still very weak, and there are many things she cannot do too obviously. She must avoid the attention of certain people, so there is not much she can do.
"You're so good to me..."
Lin Mushi came to her side and said softly, "How can I repay you in the future?"
Gu Yuqiu, who was resting with her eyes closed, said, "No need for later."
Lin Mushi was taken aback by her words and looked at her blankly, wondering if there was anything she could do for her now.
"Go and clean the bathtub."
Gu Yuqiu said, "I want to take a bath."
Lin Mushi asked in surprise, "You still have the mood to take a bath?"
It was already past six o'clock, and the intelligence indicated that it was not far from nine o'clock. Shouldn't we be on high alert and ready to be deployed at any time?
She couldn't understand, but she spoke only to express her surprise, not to refuse.
—Besides, she's used to doing similar things at home.
"These things have no right to affect my mood."
Gu Yuqiu opened her eyes, glanced at her, and said, "Besides, are you really that stupid as to use a towel to wipe the bathtub?"
"You mean you want me to wash it for you using my own abilities?"
No matter how stupid Lin Mushi is, she's not so naive as to be unable to understand the key points in someone's words.
She just couldn't quite accept this kind of extravagant behavior.
The path that the Special Affairs Bureau completely controls, which leads directly to the top of the Ascension Staircase and is known as the 'Myriad Manifestations', is the choice of the vast majority of Special Affairs Bureau members.
Lin Mushi was not the exception.
Whether it be feng shui, thunder, or even all things in the world, these real things will change according to her will as she grows stronger.
From this perspective, she is really suited to cleaning.
