Three beautiful girls with distinct personalities and also best friends—it really hits a man's soft spot.
Just the thought of them fighting tooth and nail in bed over him, or vying for favor, with their bottoms raised...
Qiu Tu felt... damn, could Huang Shangzong really be plotting a Beauty Trap!?
But even if he were ruthless, he wouldn't push his own daughter into the firepit, right?
So... there must be something fishy going on.
With that in mind, Qiu Tu's brain quickly spun. Moments later, he had a plan set in his mind.
He first spoke solemnly, "No problem. I will definitely arrange appropriate personal security for the three ladies."
After saying that, his tone shifted, probing, "Additionally... if you need, I can also move into a guest room in the villa and personally ensure your protection."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the atmosphere in the drawing room suddenly quieted down.
Xue'er looked at Ai Li as if seeking rescue.
While Ai Li looked back at Qiu Tu, her eyes brightening ever so slightly...
'Walking right into the trap?'
With that thought, Ai Li spoke, "Then we'll trouble Director Qiu. We hope you can stay at the villa for the next few days."
'Really—walking right into the trap?'
Hearing her response, although Qiu Tu kept his expression neutral, deep inside he was truly astonished.
They actually agreed?
Has my reputation not reached Dongye State?
How dare these three girls do this.
Or could it be... Huang Shangzong really is playing a Beauty Trap?
Is this... old coot really so cunning?
Thinking thus, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Ai Li.
Ai Li was smiling sweetly at Qiu Tu...
And just like that, the matter of Qiu Tu moving in with the three girls to the villa was inexplicably settled.
Ai Li and Qiu Tu then discussed Xue'er's security arrangements once more.
After all the details had been hammered out, Qiu Tu stood up and escorted the four out of the office.
Outside the office, Qiu Tu took the initiative and reached out his hand to Ai Li, "Let's wish for a pleasant cooperation, Chief Ai Li. I hope you all have a great time in the next few days."
Ai Li, upon hearing this, blew a bubble and then casually stretched out her right hand from her pocket to shake Qiu Tu's hand, "Thanks, a pleasant cooperation to you too, Director Qiu."
Judging by the sincere smiles on both their faces, this seemed like a "win-win" cooperation...
After leaving Qiu Tu's office, Yu Zhengyi saw Ai Li and the other two girls out of the Investigation Bureau.
Although he was eager to ask Ai Li about her findings on collecting traces and other signs of Cataclysmic Power, Ai Li didn't invite him to join, and he couldn't impose. He could only watch the motorcade slowly drive away.
Three girls, three cars; in the vehicle Ai Li was in, there was a man with a long scar on his face, looking gaunt like a horse's.
Upon seeing him, Ai Li casually pulled out a palm-sized compass from her pocket and handed it to him.
Then, with her arms crossed, she blew bubbles and started enjoying the scenery outside the window.
The man took the small compass, inhaling its essence vigorously while taking notes and analyzing.
After a short while, he reported to Ai Li, "Chief, besides Qiu Tu, there's another presence of Cataclysmic Power."
At this, Ai Li's interest was piqued. She sat up straight and with a curious "Oh?" she said, "Check it out, see if it's from an Evil God."
Scarface nodded and continued with his rapid analysis.
A moment later, he nodded affirmatively, "Confirmed, it's the scent of an Evil God!"
At this, Ai Li's eyes couldn't help but light up.
She stared intently at Scarface, somewhat incredulous at the substantial discovery they had just made upon their arrival!
Then, Scarface closed his eyes again, taking another deep breath from the compass location.
After a moment... he hesitated, then opened his eyes to look at Ai Li, saying, "Chief. This aura is indeed from an Evil God, but... it seems not from a living Evil God. It's from... the 'Boundless Divine Crystal' left by Xie Yue."
"Qiu Tu... seems to be only cultivating in his office?"
Or could it be... Huang Shangzong really is playing a Beauty Trap?
Is this... old coot really so cunning?
Thinking along these lines, Qiu Tu couldn't help but gaze at Ai Li.
Ai Li was smiling sweetly at Qiu Tu...
And just like that, the matter of Qiu Tu moving in with the three girls to the villa was inexplicably settled.
