"It's precisely because he didn't take you with him, and you followed him to Xinjie City on your own, that you weren't accompanying him as a wife should,"

"forcing him to use his connections to hide your identity and create a completely new household registration for you, placing you within the Investigation Bureau."

"Afterward, it was still you, wanting to be by his side for a longer period of time."

"When he was choosing his new secretary, you demanded that he choose you."

"This only made his attitude towards you worse, even more impatient."

"It was your relentless pursuit that caused him to step back further and further."

"You're like someone clutching a handful of sand; the tighter you grip, the faster the sand slips away!"

"And so, you've remained in this state of contradiction and entanglement until now. You want to cling to him, while he... is trying every possible way to rid himself of you, to abandon you. He's even willing to cuck himself, pushing you towards me."

"In order to please me successfully, he even made you wear clothes that show off your figure, sparking men's desires!"

"Don't you think, the relationship between you and your husband is extremely abnormal, distorted?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, each one a stab to the heart, Tan Huimin almost went mad!

She covered her ears, closed her eyes, and deluded herself by shouting, "No! That's not true!"

"You're lying! Lying!"

"The information you just gave is fake! Everything you inferred after that is also fake!"

Seeing her breakdown, Qiu Tu smiled brilliantly and said, "Whether I'm lying or not, you know in your heart."

"Madam... you can deceive me. But can you truly deceive your own heart?"

The reason Qiu Tu was so certain about his information and inferences wasn't because the Political Department's intelligence work was really that strong.

No matter how capable the Political Department's intelligence work was, Qiu Tu still hadn't taken charge of it as of yesterday.

Besides, even if the Political Department's intelligence capabilities were exaggeratedly strong, they couldn't possibly be lurking at Zheng Tao and Tan Huimin's bedside, eavesdropping on a couple's private conversations or stealing a peek into their inner thoughts, right...?

However... what the Political Department couldn't do, Qiu Tu could.

He was the table lamp during Zheng Tao and Tan Huimin's bedroom conversations...

Ah, no, he was "Tan Huimin" herself.

This morning, when Qiu Tu woke up from bed, the first thing he did was to check the outcome of the "Loyalty Game."

As he expected, with Xiao Bai's help, Shen Lingshuang easily defeated Tan Huimin: not only did she beat Tan Huimin until her head was covered in lumps, but she also held onto Tan Huimin's big secret like a research project...

And due to her victory, Qiu Tu received the victor's reward: a medium-sized memory fragment without any Loyalty bonuses.

Since Shen Lingshuang was still asleep at the time, after hesitating for a moment, Qiu Tu decided to take the chance to look into the information enclosed within that memory fragment.

Qiu Tu initially thought that it would contain Tan Huimin's most recent memories, much like Wang Xi's.

He even hoped that the memory would contain specific information about that high-level spy to verify whether his guess was correct.

Surprisingly, what he didn't expect was that the memory fragment would show a scene of Tan Huimin and Zheng Tao at their home in the Sanctuary.

In the memory, Tan Huimin cried nonstop in Zheng Tao's embrace, but although Zheng Tao held her, he smoked sullenly with a hint of impatience on his face.

From the couple's dialogue and conversation, Qiu Tu learned the reason for the heavy atmosphere between them:

For years they had been hoping to have a child, but... they had always been unsuccessful. Tan Huimin had constantly dragged Zheng Tao to the Sanctuary's hospital for examinations.

But no matter the examination, the results for both of them were remarkably normal, showing no problems whatsoever.

Moreover, given that both were at the optimal age for conception, theoretically, there shouldn't have been any issues. Thus, even the doctors at the Sanctuary found it strange and couldn't understand why.

If it had ended there, Qiu Tu at most would have garnered a piece of gossip of little value.

However, something Qiu Tu didn't expect happened.

While the memory fragment had few scenes and dialogues, mostly just Tan Huimin's crying, and Zheng Tao's smoking, Tan Huimin's internal monologue was incredibly rich.

From Tan Huimin's thoughts, Qiu Tu gleaned more interesting details.

That is... although both seemed to want children on the surface, compared to Tan Huimin, Zheng Tao was clearly less committed, almost perfunctory.

When Tan Huimin curiously questioned whether Zheng Tao truly wanted children, he said he did.

Additionally, every time they went for an examination, while Tan Huimin anxiously awaited the report, Zheng Tao seemed unconcerned as if he knew the outcome, merely staring into space.

After enough of these occurrences, Tan Huimin naturally suspected that Zheng Tao probably knew something about their inability to conceive, something he wasn't telling her...

So Tan Huimin became more and more paranoid, wanting to cling tighter to Zheng Tao.

In this situation, with secrets already burdening his heart, Zheng Tao, sensing his wife's relentless pursuit, became even more eager to escape.

And so, with one fleeing and the other chasing, their relationship grew increasingly distant.

Through Tan Huimin's internal monologue, combined with the couple's unusual status in Xinjie City, Qiu Tu quickly deduced their current emotional state, their contradictory and tangled predicament.
