Then let them offer their loyalty!

This also means that, except for important suspects in major cases who require video and audio recordings for archiving, most interrogations do not require video or audio recordings.

Therefore, Chen Feng and A-Kun didn't mind Qiu Tu's reasonable request. They saluted and left the interrogation room with the equipment and materials.

As the two of them left, a few seconds later, Liu Fuping led Bai Ru into the interrogation room.

After handcuffing Bai Ru to the interrogation table, Liu Fuping winked at Qiu Tu and teased, "Be gentle, don't hurt our beautiful suspect."

After saying that, Liu Fuping left the interrogation room with a smile on her lips and a swaying waist.

Qiu Tu: .....

Bai Ru: ......

After the interrogation room door closed, leaving only Qiu Tu and Bai Ru in the small space, Bai Ru looked up at Qiu Tu pitifully and asked, "What...what did she mean by what she just said?"

"What do you mean by 'gentle'? What do you mean by 'don't break me'?"

Qiu Tu cursed inwardly, "Women's jealousy!"

He coughed lightly and made up a reason, "It's nothing. She's just using those words to distract you, to scare you, and to make you more cooperative during the interrogation."

"This is a commonly used interrogation technique."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Bai Ru's eyes clearly showed disbelief. But as someone with a "protector of her own heart" personality, she had already mustered all her courage to ask the question just now, and she really didn't dare to continue asking.

So she lowered her head silently and said, "The reason I came to you this time is that I want to make a deal with you."

"I can tell you the Qin family's biggest secret, but you also have to make some promises to me."

Hearing Bai Ru's words, Qiu Tu asked curiously, "Oh? What kind of promise do you want?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's question, Bai Ru looked at him resentfully and said, "Of course I want you to promise me and my husband's family that we will be safe."

"But you're a big liar, and you probably won't keep your promises. So, all I want right now is for us to get out of here for a while."

"Then we can find my father and run away together."

At this point, Bai Ru suddenly woke up, her big, watery eyes wide open, and she tried to cover her mouth with her hand.

But after a series of clanging metallic scraping sounds, she realized that her hands were still handcuffed to the table and she couldn't move at all.

Her face flushed slightly, and she asked softly, "What...what's wrong with me? What I just said...was all a lie. I didn't mean to run away, really!"

Bai Ru had the worst mental fortitude among the people Qiu Tu interrogated. She was like a little rabbit, completely panicking at the slightest scare.

They've even started deceiving themselves.

So, Qiu Tu couldn't help but feel a sense of humor: wouldn't anyone want to tease such a cute woman a few times?

Thinking this, he stood up, walked to Bai Ru's side, and gently pinched Bai Ru's fair cheek.

Bai Ru retreated in fear, but Qiu Tu's hand followed her closely, constantly pinching her face.

After pinching him a couple of times, Qiu Tu suddenly asked, "Madam, you actually enjoyed the ambiguous atmosphere between us today, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ru blushed deeply and retorted, "No... a little bit, I'm conflicted, I want to resist but... it's also very different."

As she spoke her mind, Bai Ru's eyes widened again, probably completely bewildered as to what had just happened.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but laugh.

His hand traced down Bai Ru's face, caressing her neck, collarbone, and the tender flesh of her breasts. "Madam, is there some disharmony in your relationship with your husband?"

Bai Ru was somewhat dazed at this moment. Although she felt extremely ashamed, she was controlled by the cataclysmic power and finally slowly said, "My husband... is very afraid of my father. In addition, this marriage was a family alliance arranged by the Qin family."

"So...he's never been nice to me...and he rarely touches me."

Even if... you touch me, it's always over quickly.

Qiu Tu gave an "Oh," and scoffed, "30 minutes of homework, finished in 3 minutes?"

Bai Ru blushed and stammered, "Less than 3 minutes."

Qiu Tu smiled and buried his head deeply into Bai Ru's chest.

Bai Ru's body was visibly stiff, and she dared not move.

Qiu Tu simply lay there and rubbed against her for a couple of moments, then suddenly asked about serious matters, "Madam said she wanted to tell me a big secret about the Qin family? What secret is it?"

At this moment, Bai Ru had already been thrown into disarray by Qiu Tu's series of actions, completely losing her composure.

Even if she weren't currently under the control of the [Order Space], she probably would just want to reveal the secret and end this interrogation as soon as possible!

I had long since given up on bargaining!

So, upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, she felt a sense of relief and quickly replied, "Actually... Old Master Qin is not dead!"

Upon hearing Bai Ru's words, Qiu Tu visibly paused for a moment. But then he continued to hold Bai Ru, fidgeting as he asked, "Tell me in more detail. Start from the beginning."

Bai Ru said in a panic, "My family were employees of the Qin family before the cataclysm. After the cataclysm, my father became an orphan. It was Old Master Qin who gave him a chance to make a living, so he has always regarded Old Master Qin as half an older brother."

"The reason he has developed so well over the years is largely due to the support he received behind the scenes from Old Master Qin. He has also been providing all sorts of conveniences for the Qin family."

"Therefore, our two families have a very good relationship and visit each other often. I have met Grandpa Qin many times. He has always been in good health."

“In previous years, when news broke that the shelter was planning to build a New Territories city, Mr. Qin was busy running around doing so. But after he had arranged everything, he suddenly passed away unexpectedly.”

"At that time, I didn't take it seriously. After all, people are born, grow old, get sick and die, and in such a chaotic world, no one can say for sure when someone will suddenly leave."

"But what's strange is that... my father clearly admires and respects Grandpa Qin, but he only pretends to be sad outside. When he comes home, he acts like nothing happened, and even... seems a little happy."

"This makes me very curious."

"Then, one time, my father got drunk and took my hand, asking me if I could accept it if one day I had to call another person 'father'?"

“I was terrified. I thought my father didn’t want me anymore and was going to give me away to someone else. So I started asking him what was going on.”

"After my repeated questioning, my father finally told me that... Old Master Qin was actually not dead."

"He knew many years ago that his lifespan was not long, so he made many preparations in advance to prolong his life."

"Until his death, he finally made a deal with 'God,' successfully overcoming the last obstacle to achieving immortality and gaining a new life..."

Chapter 118 Solution 2 (10,000 words, please vote)

Hearing Bai Ru's words, Qiu Tu lost all interest in taking advantage of her.

He held Bai Ru in his arms, his brows slightly furrowed.

Did he make a deal with "God"? Did he successfully overcome the final obstacle to achieving immortality?

Perhaps it was because he was too sensitive, but as soon as Qiu Tu heard the word "god," he immediately associated it with the "god" that the man in the suit and mask had been calling out.

Are these two "gods" the same person?

Or is it that there are many "gods"? Or... is this some kind of metaphor?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask. He asked, "What is 'God'? Does 'God' exist in this world?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Bai Ru thought for a moment before replying, "I don't know either..."

“My father didn’t elaborate. Perhaps it was a taboo subject? Perhaps he wasn’t entirely sure himself? Or perhaps… he didn’t want me to know too much?”

Upon hearing Bai Ru's words, Qiu Tu stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought...

After spending a day with Qiu Tu, Bai Ru gradually became able to understand some of Qiu Tu's expressions and thoughts.

So when she saw Qiu Tu plotting another wicked idea, she hurriedly and weakly asked, "What are you going to do...?"

"You've already arrested me, you can't arrest my father too..."

Qiu Tu laughed upon hearing Bai Ru's words.

He felt that Bai Ru's personality was really interesting; she was fun no matter how he teased her.

Thinking this, he reached out and touched Bai Ru's cheek, then teased, "Really? Well, that'll have to wait and see how you perform..."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words and seeing his hand touching her face, Bai Ru turned pale, as if she had realized something...

Qiu Tu stood up with a wicked grin on his face and put his hand on his belt.

His hips were level with Bai Ru's line of sight. Bai Ru stared at Qiu Tu's zipper, her eyes glazed over, probably from shock...

As a result, Qiu Tu simply adjusted his belt and sat down again. "Tell me, how much more do you know about Old Master Qin's immortality?"

"If you confess enough, I won't arrest your father."

"Huh?" Bai Ru almost strained her back, probably not expecting things to turn out this way.

Her face was flushed, and her eyes were red with embarrassment. She truly felt a sense of shame that her dignity had been trampled on.

God knows what she was thinking in those last few seconds...

Those were probably the longest few seconds of her life, and also the most disturbing few seconds of images in her mind...

Moreover, perhaps because Qiu Tu's change of heart was so rapid, she even forgot whether, when she was contemplating those images in her mind, she was ultimately "forced to agree" or "striving to resist"...

This sense of humiliation stemming from a lack of self-awareness contrasted sharply with Qiu Tu's composed demeanor, making her feel like a slut...

But that's not all. Keep in mind, she's still under the influence of the [Order Space].

Therefore, even though she was extremely ashamed and wanted to shut herself off, under the control of her cataclysmic abilities, she could only answer Qiu Tu's questions earnestly. This contrast made her even more ashamed...

Unfortunately, Bai Ru hadn't read "The Emotional Handbook." If she had, she would have known that Qiu Tu's method was precisely one of the 36 ways to deal with women in "The Emotional Handbook"—"Passionate Fantasy."

This approach is specifically designed by fraud groups for women who are perceived as "protectors of the soul."

While it can be applied to other types of women as well, it is particularly effective on women who are "inner protectors" or married women with whom one has a certain level of affection.

To put it simply, this plan is:

Once the two people are in a flirtatious stage and have had some physical contact, you can suddenly do something that might easily cause misunderstanding.

Make the other person imagine what will happen next, but then immediately pull away from doing those things...

After several such back-and-forths, the other person has already mentally rehearsed what you're about to do many times, making it incredibly natural and effortless for you to do anything next...

In fact, if a woman is sexually fiery, she might even be unable to resist taking the initiative to do it herself...

This approach can effectively advance the relationship, including but not limited to hugs, kisses, and subsequent stages; it has a very wide range of applications...

After going through the plan of this "passionate fantasy" in his mind, Qiu Tu smiled calmly as he looked at Bai Ru, whose face was flushed red from his flirting. Then he listened attentively as Bai Ru told him about Old Master Qin's secret.

Bai Ru: "That night, my father drank a lot of alcohol and talked a lot."

"Perhaps because it's been so long, I don't remember very clearly."

"But I remember my father saying that this kind of immortality is not without limitations. The biggest limitation is that you have to change your body, and you can only change to a body that is related to you by blood."

"Moreover, the closer the blood relationship, the greater the probability of success and the better the recovery."

"So... if he wants to achieve immortality like Old Master Qin, he needs to give me another brother, or..."

"Have the Qin family help clone a new body."

Upon hearing Bai Ru's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "A cloned new body?"

"Isn't the Qin family's technology for cloning female bodies?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Tu felt that his question was a bit silly.

Cloning is a technique that allows an organism to reproduce asexually through somatic cells, creating an individual with the same genotype as the original.

Therefore, theoretically, there is no difference between cloning a man and cloning a woman for this technology.

Qiu Tu guessed that the Qin family claimed to possess the technology of "cloning female bodies" simply to make the technology sound more erotic and attract the attention of lecherous bigwigs.

However...aren't these clones short-lived? If Grandpa Qin and Deputy Director Bai were to enter a cloned body, wouldn't they die again very quickly?

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu asked his question.

It was only through Bai Ru's explanation that Qiu Tu finally understood the power of the Qin family's cloning technology.

According to Bai Ru, the Qin family's technology was actually very powerful, and before the cataclysm, it was one of the world's most advanced technologies.

The reason for this is that, in addition to cloning and gene editing, this technology can also "accelerate" the growth of clones.

"Actually matured" clones can grow into adult individuals in just one or two years.
