What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

The only certainty is that she is relatively safe during this short period of time, because Gu Yuqiu would not come looking for her now in order to avoid revealing his identity.

With these thoughts in mind, Crimson walked out of a small alley with a blank expression, leaving the great river behind.

Then she untied her scarf and tossed it on the ground, revealing her youthful face.

Just as Gu Yuqiu said, she was quite different from the tall figure in the twilight world; she was more like an underage high school girl with a youthful vibe.

After she left, the scarf suddenly burst into flames and vanished from the world at an incredible speed, leaving behind the lingering scent of the white cat.

At the same time, she heard the sound of police sirens; they must have been very close.

Crimson seemed not to hear, her expression perfectly calm, and opened the door of a car.

There was only the driver inside the car.

"Let's go."

Shen Hong glanced out the window and said, "Leave Xin Chu according to the pre-prepared route."

The driver remained calm and wasn't foolish enough to ask why. He simply said, "We'll have to wait until tomorrow morning."

Crimson nodded in agreement.

……

……

After all, it is a bridge connecting the two sides of the strait. Once the Crimson incident was over, the Special Affairs Bureau confirmed that there were no hidden dangers at the scene and extracted enough information, so the blockade was lifted.

The original plan continued, and Gu Yuqiu and Lin Mushi got into the same car and continued to the Special Affairs Bureau.

However, Su Yan is no longer here.

The space felt much more spacious, but the atmosphere was far from relaxed.

Because there was someone sitting in the passenger seat.

Zhong Chongshan withdrew his gaze from the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "You guys don't seem very welcoming of me."

Gu Yuqiu remained silent.

Lin Mushi said, "We are on a mission right now and can't chat."

Her tone was very flat, revealing no emotion, but everyone knew what she was thinking.

Zhong Chongshan found it somewhat amusing and said, "According to what you've said, Shen Hong is currently seriously injured, so there shouldn't be any more accidents on this journey tonight. Therefore, I'll just sit for a while and then leave."

Lin Mushi reminded him, "There are some things... Director, you can only ask Professor Wei. Yu Qiu and I can't tell you."

Zhong Chongshan thought to himself, "Have you already addressed me by my given name?"

He shook his head and said, "Of course I don't care about these things."

Lin Mushi looked at him and asked, "So what do you want to talk to us about?"

Zhong Chongshan said, "What we talk about is not important. I just want to take a good look at you and find out what's special about you."

The character 们 carries the meaning of plural.

Lin Mushi disagreed with the use of the word "men" in that sentence, and said, "So what have you figured out now?"

"a lot of."

Zhong Chongshan laughed and said, "For example, you've become much bolder. You're no longer afraid of me because of my reputation, just like you were before."

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback, then realized that what he said was true, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

All these changes stemmed from that night when she spoke to Gu Yuqiu with the demeanor of a senior, speaking earnestly and meaningfully, and then... she became the person she is today?

She glanced at Gu Yuqiu's profile, smiled sweetly, and thought to herself that it was good that she didn't like children, so it didn't matter whether she had children or not.

Zhong Chongshan asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Mushi suddenly remembered that there were outsiders present and, fearing that his smile might be misunderstood, quickly explained, "I suddenly remembered something funny."

Zhong Chongshan nodded in confusion.

"Private matter."

Lin Mushi hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to treat her to a late-night snack after the mission is over."

Gu Yuqiu glanced at her and asked, "What's so funny about that?"

Lin Mushi raised an eyebrow slightly and said seriously, "Of course it's funny, because you don't like spicy food, but how many barbecue restaurants these days don't serve spicy food?"

Hearing this, Zhong Chongshan finally couldn't hold back and said, "Then I have a good shop to recommend to you."

Lin Mushi thought to herself that with your status, that shop must be really good, so she immediately agreed and said thank you.

Then she heard a sentence.

"But the barbecue at that restaurant isn't spicy."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback, then subconsciously glared at him, thinking to herself, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Gu Yuqiu was somewhat surprised, then laughed.

For some reason, she laughed very happily, even laughing out loud.

The laughter was pleasant to hear.

It was exceptionally moving.

—Because she had figured out a way to capture Crimson.

Chapter 79: Chapter Seventy-Eight - Ultimately, Suspicion Couldn't Be Resisted

Several years ago, Gu Yuqiu and Shen Hong developed a very inexplicable feud over something that could be considered trivial or insignificant.

Since then, the two sides have had several disputes, the outcome of which is self-evident.

Gu Yuqiu did not gain any benefit from it.

Deep red, but different.

The reason why her current skill in playing hide-and-seek is so unparalleled that even the Special Affairs Bureau cannot detect her is because she was caught at that time.

Even if it were the Gu Yuqiu of the past, it would still take some effort to catch the Crimson who was determined to hide, let alone the fact that she is no longer the same person she once was.

Therefore, this is a really troublesome problem.

Fortunately, she has now come up with a good idea, even though it is a very old and even a bit useless, but it works.

—After all, cats are cats, and when it comes to using cats, that's Songtang's job; she's just responsible for coming up with ideas.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuqiu felt very happy and smiled.

Zhong Chongshan was unaware of what she was thinking. His eyes suddenly filled with confusion as he looked at her strangely, wondering if her usual demeanor was just a persona.

In his memory, Gu Yuqiu's personality was quite strange, with a kind of inexplicable yet justifiable arrogance, and yet she had the right to be proud.

He had a very deep memory of every smile from this subordinate.

This is related to appearance, but more so because Gu Yuqiu's smile always evokes a variety of emotions in him; at times, he even feels that those smiles are actually provocations.

However, at this moment, Gu Yuqiu's smile was extremely pure.

Even Lin Mushi had never seen Gu Yuqiu smile like that before, and couldn't help but think that she was seeing things. In fact, it was all just an illusion.

As she thought this, she carefully raised her hand and poked Gu Yuqiu's dimple with her index finger.

Yes, Gu Yuqiu has a pair of very pretty dimples, shallow ones.

A gentle smile with dimples is a very touching thing.

Then it's only natural that she couldn't help herself, right?

Thinking this, Lin Mushi quickened her movements, afraid that the smile would vanish in an instant.

Gu Yuqiu reacted even faster than her, raising an eyebrow slightly upon seeing the finger that was poking at her.

However, she didn't stop smiling; instead, she smiled even more happily, though a mischievous glint appeared in her eyes.

Just as Lin Mushi was about to poke her face, she found that her fingertips could no longer go any further, as if a short-legged cat had raised its head and stretched out its paw to provoke a normal cat, only to be pressed down by a paw.

This scene is really interesting.

Zhong Chongshan's gaze fell on the rearview mirror, looking at the two girls in strange poses, and he thought to himself, "To be honest, they're both quite pretty."

Not long after, Lin Mushi finally couldn't hold on any longer, put down her hand, and said angrily, "I promise I'll make that chef put chili in it for you later!"

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, what kind of threat is this?

She didn't seem to care, and looked at Zhong Chongshan, who had been secretly watching, and asked, "Is there a problem?"

The issue being referred to was, of course, the fact that the two left the Special Affairs Bureau immediately after completing their mission.

"Normally it is."

Zhong Chongshan said with a smile, "However, I will be handing over my work tomorrow. If I cause a lot of trouble tonight, it will become very complicated later. So let the next person take charge."

Hearing this, Lin Mushi suddenly thought of a question and asked curiously, "After you finish the handover, Director, are you going to leave Xinchu?"

Zhong Chongshan was in a fairly good mood. Despite being asked such an intrusive question, he didn't get angry and patiently said, "This is confidential. I can't tell you."

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback before she realized what was happening and quickly apologized several times.

"In short, you can relax a bit tonight, because you'll be very busy starting tomorrow."

Zhong Chongshan said, "It's normal for the capable to do more. Whether it's Mr. Zhuo's death or the Fool's Ship and Crimson tonight, it fully proves your abilities. Given Xin Chu's current situation, your nearly one month of leisure time will be gone."

Lin Mushi sighed inwardly with regret and said, "I understand."

Gu Yuqiu gave a lazy "hmm".

She really wasn't very interested in these things.

The only unexpected turn of events in the past few days was the sudden appearance of Crimson tonight.

Apart from that, the course of the situation was always within her calculations and never deviated from them.

It's human nature to get tired of things we already know, and she's no exception.

Then they remained silent the rest of the way.

Twenty minutes later, the black sedan stopped in front of the Special Affairs Bureau building.
