Let them offer their loyalty!

It has to be said, the charm of a married woman lies in her expertise in all of a man's "weak spots."

Compared to Shen Lingshuang's naive seduction in the morning, Liu Fuping was far better at pressing a man's soft underbelly.

Not only was her voice sultry, but her entire body also gently pressed against Qiu Tu as she spoke.

Now being autumn, the clothes were quite thin, so Qiu Tu could easily sense her soft curves.

If that was all, Qiu Tu could have endured, but the problem was that although Liu Fuping pressed close, she didn't press firmly; instead, she maintained a tantalizing proximity.

She touched him and then backed away, touched him again, and withdrew once more... keeping their bodies in constant contact.

With such skilled seduction techniques, no wonder even the protagonists like Yang Wei from some novels might become aroused!

So, Qiu Tu endured and endured and ultimately couldn't hold back any longer.

He abruptly pulled Liu Fuping's slender waist toward him, bringing her body close, and then whispered into the ear of the beautiful young woman, a low and magnetic warning, "Sister Liu, you're playing with fire."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping looked up at him, her eyes almost dripping with water, she tilted her head back, blushed, and provocatively said, "Really...? Can the officer's flame dry up my waters?"

At her ambiguously charged words, Qiu Tu felt a fierce fire burning in his chest.

The air grew thicker with innuendo, their gazes locked onto each other, with the surroundings seeming to fade away.

Seconds and minutes ticked by.

The feeling was like two piles of dry tinder soaked in gasoline, just waiting for a spark to erupt into a blaze!

Just then... suddenly, Qiu Tu felt a void in his body, as if a mysterious force had been abruptly withdrawn from him.

Qiu Tu snapped back to reality.

Then he looked down at Liu Fuping, only to find that her dreamy gaze was also clearing up.

She seemed quite surprised by her own behavior just now, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

'Is the Mandragora Love Drug this potent?'

'To make Liu Fuping behave like this?'

'Is it because we are of different sexes, or is it because there's already an ambiguous relationship between us?'

As astonished as Qiu Tu was in his mind, his hands didn't stop.

He let go of Liu Fuping's waist, "Sister Liu, please have some dignity. I am a decent man."

With that, he reached out and "smack!" slapped Liu Fuping's bottom, wave after wave.

Liu Fuping startled, jumped to one side with a face flushed in shame and annoyance, covering her bottom.

She glared at Qiu Tu and said irritably, "The officer talks about dignity but sure didn't miss out on taking advantage with his hands."

Qiu Tu, without a blush or a skip of heartbeat, "That was just a punishment."

"As an officer, I have the right to punish my subordinates for disrespectful actions."

"Ha, I didn't expect the officer to be into this kind of play," Liu Fuping said with a roll of her eyes, her verbal skills noticeably improved from the day before, "You could have just told me directly. I could have made some preparations in advance."

"Even, if you want to play something more exciting, we can go straight to the interrogation room. They have a full range of punishment props there..."

Qiu Tu: .....

Indeed, once women let loose, men become irrelevant.

For the first time, he found himself at a loss for words to respond to Liu Fuping's rather bold statement.

So, Qiu Tu swiftly and discreetly changed the subject, inquiring about Liu Fuping's "user experience."

He tentatively asked, "Sister Liu, what happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly lean in?"

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping indeed shifted her focus. She hesitated, furrowed her brows, and said somewhat oddly, "It's a bit hard to explain...."

With her hands clasped under her chest, she titled her head, recalling, "When I saw you from a distance just now, I didn't seem to feel anything."

"But after taking a few steps toward you, I suddenly felt a bit spaced out, followed by an overwhelming sense of comfort and security."

"I wanted... wanted to be near you involuntarily."

Her face blushed slightly, "And then... I just did that."

"After that, my desires were magnified, my rationality diminished, and all I wanted to do was to immerse myself in that feeling."

"It wasn't until you pushed me away that I gradually snapped out of that state."

After finishing, she looked at Qiu Tu with suspicion and a frown, "You didn't do something, did you, Chief?"

Qiu Tu ignored Liu Fuping's suspicion. Resting his chin in his hand, he pondered quietly for a moment, then continued asking, "So, when you were getting close to me, did you think about anything 'strange'?"

When he said "strange," Qiu Tu emphasized the word.

Hearing Qiu Tu's question, Liu Fuping's fair face visibly reddened. Then, with a somewhat evasive look in her eyes, she shook her head unconvincingly, "No."

Qiu Tu regarded her skeptically, his gaze intense as he scrutinized her.

Liu Fuping somewhat awkwardly tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, and crossed her legs, then added in a lower voice, "But I just got off the phone with Director Tang..."

Qiu Tu... understood.

Stroking his chin, he began to analyze the differences between Liu Fuping and Tian Xiaotian, the two "users."

First of all, Tian Xiaotian and he were of the same sex, while Liu Fuping was of the opposite sex.

And from their reactions, the "Mandragora Love Drug," this Cataclysmic Potion, clearly had a stronger effect on the opposite sex.

Next, the core effect of this Cataclysmic Potion seemed to be the enhancement of human senses.

Tian Xiaotian, due to his hatred for Ah-Tai, met a "kindred spirit" in himself and had the desire to confide. Thus, his urge to talk was greatly strengthened, resulting in a lengthy conversation with himself.

While Liu Fuping, having just finished a call with Tang Feifei, might have discussed some taboo topics over the phone.

So, after coming out, upon encountering him, a certain desire of hers was also enhanced.

Lastly, the effects of this potion were supposed to be immediate after application, and should end abruptly when the time is up.

Therefore, for someone like Tian Xiaotian, having a process of approaching and leaving himself would minimize the discontinuity of his sensory experience.

But Liu Fuping experienced the sudden cessation of the effect while in contact with himself, which made her feeling of disconnection particularly evident....

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu also gained a bit of experience in using the potion:

He felt it was best to use the Cataclysmic Potion when the target was in a good mood and state, and to make sure to leave before the effects of the potion wore off.

That way, the effects could be maximized without drawing the target's attention.

After roughly understanding the effects of this new Potion, Qiu Tu came back to his senses.

He ignored Liu Fuping's inquisitive look and gave her a signal with his eyes, leading her to an empty conference room nearby.

Once in the empty conference room, Qiu Tu locked the door behind them and started a new conversation, "This morning, Tang Feifei's assistant came looking for me."

Liu Fuping twisted her waist and half-sat on a table, crossing her right leg over her left, displaying the exceptional beauty and length of her legs.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

With her hands propped on the table and her body leaning slightly backward, she looked at Qiu Tu, not showing much surprise on her face, "Last night, I hinted to her about you and this case."

"Although she didn't say much, I could feel she was a bit interested."

Qiu Tu nodded, then asked, "How much do you know about Tang Feifei?"

"Being at such a high position at a young age, is there something special about her?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Liu Fuping hesitated for a bit, then said, "She is very cautious. She never reveals her own background."

"So I don't know much."

"But based on her few remarks, I feel that she must have some backing at the Sanctuary. But... this backing doesn't seem very strong."

"The reason she could become a city's Deputy Director at such a young age, aside from the help of her backers, is also because she is very capable."

Pausing for a moment, Liu Fuping continued, "You'll know once you meet her. That powerful confidence of hers radiates from the inside out."

"It's as if there's nothing in this world that can stump her."

Liu Fuping's gaze carried a hint of heartfelt admiration as she recalled, "I have never seen a woman like her."

"Hmm... don't even talk about women, I haven't even seen men like that."

Next, Liu Fuping provided Qiu Tu with many details about her interactions with Tang Feifei, even sharing quite a few bedroom anecdotes.

While Qiu Tu listened with rising excitement, he also continuously constructed a character model in his mind.

Gradually, the image of Tang Feifei in his heart became more vivid.

'Powerful, confident, ruthless. She acts decisively, speaks in a low and icy tone, comes across as difficult to approach, yet is actually very sentimental.'

'Even when faced with setbacks, she is unyielding, still full of confidence in herself, believing in her day to make a comeback.'

'Hmm... a typical Action-Oriented Person. That's actually good news. After all, strong-willed women of the Action-Oriented type are much easier to deal with than those of the Rational Planner type.'

Having determined Tang Feifei's personality type, Qiu Tu's plan in his mind also became more refined: He could probably be more aggressive.

Meanwhile, as Qiu Tu was deep in thought, Liu Fuping, who had just finished sharing anecdotes about Tang Feifei, looked up at Qiu Tu's handsome and sunny profile.

She paused for a moment.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but after that heartfelt flirtation just now, Liu Fuping felt her feelings for Qiu Tu had undergone a slight change...

Only, she herself was a bit unclear what that change was...

[Liu Fuping Loyalty +12]

Looking at the sudden pop-up notification in front of her eyes.

Qiu Tu, who was still scheming about how to entangle Tang Feifei in his plans, was taken aback for a moment before regaining his composure.

He looked down at Liu Fuping, who was still in contemplation, and two question marks appeared in his mind: ??

What's with this woman? Why did her Loyalty suddenly skyrocket?

.....

After confirming the information about Tang Feifei with Liu Fuping, Qiu Tu went to Jia Shu to collect the Cataclysm Prop he had applied for the day before.

This time Jia Shu didn't say anything strange, nor did he give Qiu Tu a hard time, but naturally handed over a black case to Qiu Tu.

However, what made Qiu Tu uneasy was that Jia Shu's eyes seemed to hold a weird smile when looking at him today... it gave him goosebumps.

And what was even weirder to him was that today when he had done nothing out of the ordinary, upon leaving Jia Shu's office, Jia Shu's [Satisfaction] still increased by 2 points...

This left him once again puzzled.

What's going on? Are all those who work in secret agencies so unreasonable?

You do nothing, and yet one person's Loyalty suddenly increases, and another's Satisfaction goes up?

That's just too weird! Regular subordinates are much better, at least you can understand what they're thinking!

....

The day flew by in the blink of an eye.

Soon it was time to get off work again.

Qiu Tu sent all his team members home, but he himself stayed behind, against the rules of the investigation team: he worked overtime alone.

The reason for his overtime was simple: Qin Shuman had promised to help him with the investigation into Yin Caimei's cause of death tonight.

Waiting patiently in the temporary office, Qiu Tu reviewed the autopsy report provided by Forensic Doctor Qin that afternoon while waiting for Qin Shuman to contact him.

As time ticked by, soon it was eight o'clock in the evening.

Just as Qiu Tu was almost getting bored with the autopsy report,

Suddenly, someone knocked gently on the door of the temporary office of the investigation team.

Hearing the knock, a smile appeared on Qiu Tu's face. He put down the autopsy report, adjusted his emotions, and then said in his deep and magnetic voice, "Come in."

The next second, the office door was opened from the outside.

A woman walked in gracefully and laughed lightly at Qiu Tu, "Were you getting anxious?"

Seeing Qin Shuman in her new body, Qiu Tu was completely dumbfounded, almost unable to control his expression.

'Why is it her?'
