Chapter 234 Disciplining Tan Huimin (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)

Perhaps because Qiu Tu's movement was really subtle, Tan Huimin clearly didn't hear the door close.

She was still standing there with her back to Qiu Tu, her buttocks pouted, holding a white cloth and diligently wiping the legs of Qiu Tu's desk.

She was meticulous in her work, wiping with dedication. Qiu Tu watched with equal attention.

Perhaps because of the nourishment from a man, or possibly because she was at the prime age for a woman, Tan Huimin exuded the voluptuous beauty of a mature woman. That ripe allure added an extra charm to her already beautiful profile.

And whether it was her own idea, or under the direction of Zheng Tao or Larilo, despite the fact that there had been some conflict and intimacy between her and Qiu Tu the day before,

today she still wore a tight-fitting professional outfit: a white, semi-transparent blouse, a black pencil skirt that hugged her buttocks, stockings, and high heels.

Paired with her exquisite curves and her current squatting posture...

Qiu Tu always felt as though he could see Larilo's smug smile from her throne above.

It was as if she was tempting Qiu Tu to degenerate: Come on~ Come on~ Enjoy yourself~

But who was Qiu Tu?

He was a man of iron, a paragon of virtue who remained untroubled in the face of temptation!

Besides, wasn't every woman beside him far better than Tan Huimin?!

Plus, Qin Shuman had reminded him just last night.

So, of course!

He still couldn't resist...

He quietly walked up to her and then smacked Tan Huimin's buttocks heavily!

A crisp "Slap!" echoed unusually piercingly in the silent office!

Tan Huimin was clearly startled, she covered her buttocks, shrieked, and tried to dodge away.

But at that moment, Qiu Tu abruptly pressed down on Tan Huimin's waist.

Simultaneously, Qiu Tu's deep, magnetic voice also resounded in her ear, "Madam... Don't move. It's me."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin paused for a moment, then found it slightly amusing!

Qiu Tu wasn't her husband, so why should she stay still just because he said so! What right did he have to order her around?

Thinking this, she tried even more fiercely to stand up.

But at that moment, Qiu Tu suddenly spoke up again to remind her, "The tape recorder."

At that instant, Tan Huimin's movement abruptly ceased.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu kept one hand on Tan Huimin's waist and gently caressed her upturned buttocks with the other, continuing to remind her, "The surveillance video."

Tan Huimin's body started to tremble slightly, daring not to move a muscle.

Seeing that he had successfully subdued Tan Huimin, Qiu Tu chuckled lightly, then sat on his desk, still lightly patting her voluptuous buttocks a few times, and then remarked, "Madam, you tell me... Why provoke me."

"Is it now a situation of 'riding the tiger and finding it hard to get off', very awkward for you?"

Tan Huimin was still bent over with her buttocks raised, not daring to move; her face flushed red, she lightly bit her lip, and her fair oval face was filled with grievances. Her big eyes reddened slightly, looking as though she was holding back tears.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu chuckled lightly, his hand still grasping her full buttocks, and his mouth not missing the chance to attack her mental defenses, "Did you pick out today's outfit yourself? Or was it your husband Zheng Tao's choice?"

Tan Huimin replied in humiliation, "My husband."

Qiu Tu "tsked" and said thoughtfully, "He has quite the special preference. It seems like he deliberately sent you my way."

Upon hearing this, Tan Huimin straightened her back, glared at Qiu Tu, and retorted, "That's not true! He—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Qiu Tu slapped her buttocks hard again!

Another crisp "smack!"

Accompanied by Qiu Tu's low command, "Bend over. The tape recorder!"

Tan Huimin's body shuddered, then with her face full of shame, she looked at Qiu Tu and slowly bent down again...

Qiu Tu didn't continue his antics afterward and simply leaned on the desk, quietly admiring Tan Huimin's bent posture.

The heavy allure succumbed to the force of gravity, shaping exquisitely.

Add to that the sense of conquest brought on by her status as the wife of a political enemy, to be honest, Qiu Tu had to admit... Larilo had a knack for temptation.

She had precisely targeted Qiu Tu's weakness.

Even... Qiu Tu felt that this could be considered a bold stratagem of the new era: Personally, he supposed that even if he knew it might be a trap, but... he still wanted to jump in to taste it.

Of course... What made Qiu Tu stronger than those blinded by desire was his self-control.

He knew certain traps were worth jumping into, but... one must always be prepared for protection.

Thinking so, Qiu Tu leaned on the desk with one leg on the ground, the other resting on Tan Huimin's back, using her as a prop.

Then he lit a cigarette, quietly smoking, while looking down at Tan Huimin from above, softly saying, "Madam, actually, I'm quite interested in the marital life between you and Director Zheng."

Tan Huimin kept her head low, her hands on the desk to distribute the weight of Qiu Tu's leg, wanting to speak, but finding herself completely unable to say a word.

Qiu Tu observed her reaction but didn't seem to care, continuing with his topic, "I've heard... that you and Director Zheng have been married for three or four years now, but you haven't had any children?"

At Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin suddenly startled, then incredulously lifted her head to look at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu said with a smile, "Don't be so surprised."

"Do you think it's difficult for me, as the deputy head of the Political Department, the person in charge of intelligence, to investigate you?"

This reason obviously intimidated Tan Huimin.

So after hesitating for a moment, she then spoke softly, "Yes. These past two years have been a boom period for Ah-Tao's career, so we haven't been planning for children."

Upon hearing her words, Qiu Tu sneered, as if mocking Tan Huimin's intelligence, and then he countered, "Is that so?"

"Then... why is the intelligence I've received not the same?"

Qiu Tu continued, "The intelligence I've gathered suggests that you've always wanted children, but have been unable to conceive."

"Moreover, you both underwent many examinations during your time at the Sanctuary. Both your and Director Zheng's health was without issue."

"It has almost become a source of heartache for you both."

At Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin, still bending over, looked up at Qiu Tu in astonishment.

Clearly, she had not expected Qiu Tu to have investigated so thoroughly.

In that moment, she even began to wonder if she had underestimated the power of the Political Department's Intelligence Section:

Could the Political Department's Intelligence Section really have investigated the secrets between she and her husband at the Sanctuary so thoroughly in just one night?

Is the efficiency of the Political Department's intelligence agency really so high now?

Thinking this, Tan Huimin felt something was off.

But then... Ah-Tao used to work with the Political Department too, and he was well acquainted with the head of the intelligence agency. She had never heard him praise the intelligence department.

In fact, Tan Huimin remembered that Zheng Tao often came home and cursed Section Chief Wang of the intelligence agency, calling him useless, accusing him of botching the intelligence work, and being more trouble than he was worth!

So how come everything changed the moment Qiu Tu took over?

Though surprised, Tan Huimin clamped her mouth shut and didn't let on.

She braced her hands against the desk, leaning over with a forced smile, "You're joking, sir. We never wanted children."

Qiu Tu nodded indifferently and then teased, "Then who's the one who cries in Director Zheng's arms every night, lamenting her grievances?"

At his words, Tan Huimin's body visibly shook.

Then she heard Qiu Tu continue, "Tell me, whenever you've cried in Chief Zheng's arms, didn't you feel something was off?"

"You were clearly so miserable, so anxious. But why did Chief Zheng seem merely morose and impatient, as if he didn't care much about the matter?"

Qiu Tu's voice was like the devil's whisper,

"Have you ever considered... he might very well know the real reason why you have no children?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words trying to sow discord between her and her husband Zheng Tao, Tan Huimin suddenly rose, intending to stand up and argue with Qiu Tu.

But she was an ordinary woman, and against someone like Qiu Tu, a Second-Order Cataclysmic Awakened whose body had been enhanced twice, she was severely outmatched!

Therefore, with just a slight exertion of his leg, Qiu Tu was able to press her waist down again.

Perhaps because he used too much force, Tan Huimin even yelped in pain, her knees giving way and dropping to the ground.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu withdrew his leg and simply sat half atop the desk, looking down high and mighty at Tan Huimin, who was kneeling between his legs.

Tan Huimin's eyes reddened slightly as she rubbed her sore knees, then she looked up at Qiu Tu with a face full of rage, like an unbroken, fiery mare.

At this, Qiu Tu just took a puff of his cigarette, then laughed as he lowered his head to blow smoke in her face.

Tan Huimin, caught off guard by Qiu Tu's sneak attack, wrinkled her brows and closed her eyes as she coughed ceaselessly, clutching her heavy heart.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu felt the thrill of a successful prank. He leaned back, laughed heartily a couple of times, and then shook his head, "Madam, you know better than anyone whether what I'm saying is true or not."

"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, you've had these suspicions for a while now, haven't you?"

Qiu Tu asked incisively, "You noticed early on that your husband wasn't particularly enthusiastic about having children with you, didn't you?"

"And you also noticed how perfunctory he was each time you went for checks together, completely devoid of any concern or surprise."

"Upon receiving the report, he seemed as though he already knew the outcome, skimming through it then casually discarding it."

"Add to that the change in his attitude towards you before and after your wedding."

"From cherishing you like a treasure at the beginning, to becoming increasingly busy, then to often working late and not coming home...."

"And up to his recent trip to Xinjie City, when he didn't even want to bring you."

"You felt his weariness and coldness towards you."

"That's why you sensed something was amiss and chased him to Xinjie City, hoping to win back his heart."
