Speaking of this, Qiu Tu pointed to the black uniform on his body and said, "You see, I'm from the Political Department, I'm not in charge of cases related to the Evil God."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu mention this "key information".
Fang Tangtang, who had no understanding of the powers of the Investigation Bureau or The military's various departments, was utterly confused but pretended to understand, timidly nodding her head.
However, Qiu Tu's words were obviously not meant for her, but for Larilo, who was attached to Fang Tangtang.
Sure enough, when Larilo heard Qiu Tu say that, her eyes suddenly changed, pondering something.
Qiu Tu spread his hands and then continued, "But, that Evil God seems to have fixated on me, constantly pestering me."
Larilo: Hmm....
Fang Tangtang continued to be confused.
Qiu Tu said with a smile, "She wanted me to spy on a top-secret piece of information for her."
"But she obviously overestimated me. How could I have access to that?"
"Later on, she encountered a difficulty. She was trapped by a powerful expert."
Fang Tangtang understood this part, so she asked with her big watery eyes full of curiosity, "And then?"
Leaning against the stove, Qiu Tu said indifferently, "And then... that expert just so happened to have a grudge against me."
"To help her, as well as myself, I made contact with her."
"She of course actually wanted to deceive me, asking me to help her call for external support."
Qiu Tu let out a scornful laugh, "I'm not stupid. With my special identity, how could I possibly cooperate with her, or help her?"
Larilo's "fists" clenched!
But just then, Qiu Tu's tone shifted, "But actually... I still wanted to save her."
"So, afterwards, I set up a huge trap. I wanted to break that expert's hold on her."
"Only, breaking that hold would require the sacrifice of something she had been after all along (Moonlight Lake)."
Fang Tangtang timidly asked, "What thing?"
This time Qiu Tu shook his head, "It's confidential. Can't say."
Qiu Tu wouldn't tell, but Larilo was already deep in thought: Moonlight Lake?
Sure enough, at this moment, Qiu Tu added, "That thing happens to be significantly related to that expert."
"Once destroyed, that expert could not escape the blame."
"So, I tricked that thing into being activated early, forcing the expert to choose one of two options."
"Fortunately, the expert indeed chose to protect that thing and gave up keeping her imprisoned."
At this point, Qiu Tu paused, "And to let her understand my complex intentions, I purposely set the item's activation time on the same day I had deceived her." (Chapter 267)
Here, Qiu Tu laughed at himself, "It's a pity... she seems to have no idea of my good intentions, nor does she know what I've done for her...."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, both Fang Tangtang, who was completely unaware of the story, and Larilo, who knew the story but understood it in a way completely different from Qiu Tu, fell silent...
Fang Tangtang fell silent because: her beloved man was sharing his past with another girl in front of her, causing her heart to inexplicably feel a bit sour.
She actually felt very wronged at this point, yet didn't dare to express her feelings...
Meanwhile, Larilo was silent because... this is not how the story goes, is it?!
Was there such an ambiguous and positive relationship between her and Qiu Tu?
And Qiu Tu had been quietly doing so much for her behind her back?
Was he a "loyal minister"?
Larilo tried to recall her past interactions with Qiu Tu and then compared them to what Qiu Tu had said.
It seemed... possible?
Especially, that sudden outbreak at Moonlight Lake, Yan Chen was forced to release his Domain, allowing her to escape.
Larilo had always felt it abrupt.
But since she encountered an ambush later, she had speculated it to be a significant conspiracy from either Yan Chen or Qiu Tu.
Now it seemed... that Qiu Tu had actually freed her from the crisis?
And the ambush that followed was an accident?
Thinking this way, it did seem reasonable...?
Bullshit!
Larilo was almost going crazy!
She felt that the events were not as Qiu Tu described.
Qiu Tu might have truly rescued her from Yan Chen, but the ambush that followed had to be arranged by Qiu Tu!
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that three Peak Third Order Cataclysmics appeared?!
Do they think that Peak Third Order Cataclysmics are as common as cabbages?!
So, for a moment, Larilo felt extremely angry!
She felt like a miserable woman who had been dumped by a scumbag man, yet the scumbag boasted everywhere about how much he loved her!
The key point was, she couldn't even refute it!
How could she argue? She couldn't just pop out and explain to Fang Tangtang, could she?
So, the more she thought, the angrier she got.
However, after getting angry, she also pricked up her ears, wanting to continue listening to what Qiu Tu would say next.
To see if he would explain the ambush she encountered.
But who would have thought that Qiu Tu, this scoundrel, stopped discussing the topic right there.
This was simply arousing Larilo's curiosity: was Qiu Tu putting on an act of deep affection in front of his "current girlfriend"?
Or... was there some misunderstanding, and she was misjudging Qiu Tu?
For a moment, Larilo felt as if a cat's claws were scratching at her heart, making it itch!
All the changes in Larilo's expression were caught in the corner of Qiu Tu's eye...
He kept his face expressionless, but his heart was blooming with laughter.
'Hooked!'
The reason he went through so much trouble today was actually twofold.
