Chapter 227 Qin Shuman: Let's Work Together (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket)

"The reason I work so hard is related to this," she said.

"Although something may have happened between us by a twist of fate. But... once this body decays, it won't happen again."

Upon hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment.

He hadn't expected Qin Shuman to take the matter so seriously.

The jokes he had just made about Qin Shuman's main body and marriage were really just going along with the topics she brought up.

Now it seemed that Qin Shuman's family might have some issues.

Qiu Tu recalled every little interaction he had had with Qin Shuman.

He could be fairly certain that Qin Shuman was probably not like Shen Lingshuang, who came from a distinguished family—if she were, she wouldn't have been trapped in Yan Chen's mistress's body and unable to summon the Security Department to free her.

So... there must be some other reason, right?

Just as Qiu Tu was trying to figure it out, Qin Shuman did not continue on this topic.

She sighed, picked up a piece of clothing from the ground to drape over herself, then picked up several documents from the table. Looking at Qiu Tu, she said seriously, "Alright, we've already spent enough time tonight."

"Let's talk about intelligence and cooperation first."

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu checked the time. Without realizing it, he and Qin Shuman had been playing for an hour and a half, and it was indeed time to work.

Thinking this, he nodded and took the initiative to tell her everything that had happened to him during this time.

There wasn't much Qiu Tu felt the need to hide from Qin Shuman, a woman with whom he had shared life-and-death experiences, apart from the Golden Finger and his transmigration.

As a result, after hearing all the intelligence Qiu Tu had shared, Qin Shuman's brows were almost knitted into a "chuan" character.

She was silent for a long time with a grave expression, then finally asked, "So, what you mean is... you've been completely entangled by that Evil God?"

"And... she has followers within the high ranks of the Investigation Bureau?"

Qiu Tu nodded slightly and said, "That's right."

Hearing this, Qin Shuman gave Qiu Tu a complicated look and then took out another document, handing it to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu accepted the document with a puzzled look, only to find that the information was about the founding of Dongye State and some news about the man behind Jia Shu: Huang Shangzong.

According to the information.

Huang Shangzong used Moonlight Lake as a pretext to vigorously promote the establishment of Dongye State.

Therefore, the process of Dongye State's establishment would be greatly accelerated. It was expected that Dongye State would be officially founded in as soon as half a month, and at latest in a month and a half.

The capital of Dongye State was chosen to be Eastern City, not far from Xinjie City.

Besides the three Deputy Speakers, the members of the new State Council had all been confirmed.

Chairman Huang Shangzong; the heads of the three major power institutions from the other dozen cities would automatically become council members.

As for the three Deputy Speakers, Liu Xiongyuan, who played a significant role and had high hopes, was vetoed by Huang Shangzong in one fell swoop.

It was suspected this was due to Jia Shu being assaulted and killed by Liu Xiongyuan.

Clearly, the death of Jia Shu was an unresolved issue.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look toward Qin Shuman.

Qin Shuman, noticing Qiu Tu's gaze, casually explained, "Huang Shangzong is a very domineering person."

"Moreover, because he came from an educational background, he has many disciples and former colleagues, which gives him tremendous influence throughout the Sanctuary."

"You might think he's just pushing for the establishment of Dongye State. But in reality, aside from promoting its establishment, he has already begun using the name of the Dongye State Council to meddle in the affairs of various cities."

"For example, various cities' intelligence agencies have already been instructed to fax their gathered intelligence to the Sanctuary for his Attendees' Office to study."

At this point, Qin Shuman paused and said, "Although I guess his main goal is to understand the situation of the major cities faster and more comprehensively."

"But... he might also be investigating the inside story of Jia Shu's death."

"After all... anyone with interest would realize that someone from the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau tipped off Liu Xiongyuan about Jia Shu's death."

"In such a case, if he investigates thoroughly, he might end up finding you..."

"After all, your conflict with Jia Shu was almost public."

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu fell silent for a moment before he slowly said, "When Jia Shu was killed, he was no longer a senior official of the Investigation Bureau, and his name wasn't even on the Sanctuary's roster."

"So, even if they trace it back, he can't make an issue out of it, right?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman shook her head. She pointed to the intelligence in Qiu Tu's hands and said, "You don't understand Chairman Huang."

"Even during his time in the Sanctuary, he was known for his straightforward temper and volatility."

"His way of doing things is also very arrogant and overbearing."

"To be honest, if he finds out that you were behind Jia Shu's death, I can imagine him coming to slap you to death."

At this, Qin Shuman joked, "So... you really did a good job. You managed to deceive the Evil God and anger the Speaker."

"Otherwise... you might as well run away."

Qin Shuman said with a smile, "It just so happens that we've recently caught another channel to the United Front."

"Would you like me to provide it to you first? You make contact with them, and after you escape, we'll take them down."

Qiu Tu: .....

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at the countdown in the upper left corner of his field of vision.

[Revenge of the Linked Formation (5 days)]

[Promise of the Evil God (4 days)]

[Threat in the Darkness (?)]

Qiu Tu really wanted to say... he had also offended the United Front. And not just the United Front, the Heretic Goddess Girl, as well as Huang Shangzong.

Even in the darkness, it seemed he had also provoked some unknown Existence.

'My life is just too tragic! Why am I making enemies everywhere!'

For a moment, Qiu Tu didn't know how to describe his own feelings.

And considering that in 4 days Larilo would be inspecting Moonlight Lake, and in 5 days the United Front would be attacking him...

Qiu Tu felt tired... Let it all be destroyed.

Yes, he really wasn't just tired because of Sage Time!

At this moment, perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's dejected mood, Qin Shuman smiled and then said, "Actually, things are not that difficult."

"Let's solve one issue at a time."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look up at Qin Shuman and ask, "Solve one issue at a time? Do you have an idea about which one?"

Qin Shuman shook her head. "I have no clue about any of them."

"But... the most pressing matter before you right now is actually that of Larilo," she said.

With that, Qin Shuman paused for a moment before continuing, "And this is also the most urgent matter for our Security Department."

"After all, a cunning and smart Evil God is really too dangerous."

"Especially when she has learned to infiltrate the human world and has already cultivated followers within the upper ranks of the Investigation Bureau," she added.

Qin Shuman looked at Qiu Tu, her face serious as she suggested, "Therefore, I propose that our two departments secretly form an investigative team."

"To begin the full-scale investigation of Larilo's upper-level followers and the whereabouts of her avatars."

Qin Shuman said, "On my side, I can provide a full set of equipment, intelligence support, and even... provide you with some information about Moonlight Lake to help you gain Larilo's trust."

"As for your side. I hope you can take action personally."

"Keep probing Larilo through that coin, or dig deep into the couple Zheng Tao and Tan Huimin."

"As long as we make a breakthrough in either of these two lines."

"We may very well find the avatar of Larilo who descended into this world and the high-level follower who worships her."

Hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu opened his mouth and felt like he was somehow obliged to woo by order...

Whether it was Larilo or Tan Huimin, he would have to deal with one of them in order to continue down either line.

And compared to Larilo, whose cleverness was not inferior to Qiu Tu's, obviously... Tan Huimin was a better breakthrough point.

Thinking like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but say, "Alright... I'll give it a try."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Qiu Tu with a hint of danger, then reminded him, "Although... I have no place to say this."

"But... I still need to remind you."

"Qiu Tu... don't fail to see through her and fall into the Beauty Trap instead."

"Although we have not yet figured out what Larilo's Cataclysmic ability is."

"The more desperately an enemy wants something, the more we mustn't let her have it."

"She's been trying every possible means to tempt you into declaring yourself a follower, or she's been trying every which way to send women to you."

"It's very possible... her ability is related to this."

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed in Qiu Tu's eyes.

Qin Shuman's reminder was indeed sensible.

Larilo first sent Madame Kong to Qiu Tu, closely followed by Tan Huimin.

There really could be a problem in all of this...

Could it be... the pen is poisoned?
