Xinjie City's most significant matters currently were the "Boundless Heart Sea Development Plan" and the "Boundless Heart Sea Summoning Event."

And both of these issues were inseparably linked to Larilo.

Therefore, Qiu Tu thought about bamboozling Larilo again tonight to see if he could get some useful information from her.

The reason Qiu Tu was so confident was because just this afternoon, with the arrival of the Sanctuary experts, the "Soul Shackles" arrived as well.

This was the special Cataclysmic Treasure capable of binding consciousness and soul that Qin Shuman had requested from the Sanctuary two days ago.

With this treasure, Larilo's fate was entirely in Qiu Tu's hands.

Qiu Tu had already figured out how to use this Cataclysmic Treasure to pry information out of Larilo's mouth.

This would involve the use of his Golden Finger...

Soon, driven by Tan Huimin, Qiu Tu arrived at Fang Tangtang's villa.

As he got out of the car and before he had even entered, Qiu Tu's communicator began to ring.

"Ring ring ring..." The pleasant ringtone sounded especially crisp in the quiet night.

Fang Tangtang inside the house heard the ring of the communicator and curiously looked outside.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu standing at the door, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she hurriedly walked out.

At this moment, Qiu Tu also took out the communicator and looked down at it.

It was... a call from Shen Lingshuang.

Qiu Tu jumped, his conditioned reflex making him look up at Fang Tangtang, who had already reached the doorway.

Fang Tangtang hadn't noticed Qiu Tu's communicator; she just stood there timidly, cautiously looking up at Qiu Tu with eyes brimming with affection...

Looking at the girl's eyes that were akin to those of a small deer.

A thought involuntarily came to Qiu Tu's mind: Love for someone can't be hidden...

Unfortunately, loving two people means you have to keep it hidden. Thus, Qiu Tu coughed and said, "Work call, go back inside and wait for me."

After that, he took the communicator and turned to walk away.

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Fang Tangtang didn't doubt him; she simply pursed her lips and gave Qiu Tu another one, two, three lingering glances, then lowered her head and went back into the villa.

Seeing Fang Tangtang leave the doorway, Qiu Tu felt at ease and answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, a complaining voice from Shen Lingshuang came through, "Qiu Tu... have you forgotten about me again!"

"How many days has it been since you came home!"

Qiu Tu's experience as a twin-timing villain told him that sweet talking and giving reasons were the keys to mollifying a girl.

Even if they say they don't believe you verbally, as long as they have you in their heart, they will deceive themselves...

With this thought, Qiu Tu coughed and then spoke, "Ling Shuang, how could I forget you. It's just that I've been too busy with the promotion recently."

"I simply haven't had time to come home."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then half-truthfully said, "Moreover, in these past few days, the Evil God of our Xinjie City's region has fallen."

"And without a new Evil God coming to claim the territory, the area corresponding to the Boundless Heart Sea lacks a controller."

"These past two days, all Cataclysmics in Xinjie City have been summoned to the Boundless Heart Sea."

"So, right after wrapping up the work for my promotion, I had to deal with this event. It's one thing after another, with no time to rest."

As he said this, Qiu Tu even sighed and added, "I've been so busy these past few days that I've had no time for sleep. Truly exhausted."

Originally, Qiu Tu just wanted to fob Shen Lingshuang off with this excuse, to inform her that he might not return home for the next few days.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Lingshuang heard Qiu Tu's words, she exclaimed with a curious "Huh?"

Then she asked, "The Evil God has fallen and been summoned by the Boundless Heart Sea? Are you in the 'Counter-Infiltration World'?"

Upon hearing this professional term, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, then he asked with some surprise, "Ling Shuang, do you know what that summoning is all about?"

Shen Lingshuang's proud streak came through over the phone.

There, she slightly tilted her head and proudly said, "Of course~ "

"Our Third Sanctuary once experienced a similar event. My father was the main person in charge of that event."

Hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, the smile on Qiu Tu's face became more and more brilliant...

He felt Shen Lingshuang was truly his lucky star!

Not only did she work diligently every day at home to create "Cataclysmic Potions" and "Cataclysmic Material" for him,

but now she could also help him understand the research progress of the Third Sanctuary!

This would save Qiu Tu a lot of detours.

It might even make his previous aspirations come true: to become the controller of the entire region.

So, with that in mind, Qiu Tu eagerly asked, "Ling Shuang, come on, what information do you know?"

However, Shen Lingshuang was not the kind of submissive girl that Fang Tangtang was; she had her strong convictions and purpose.

So, hearing Qiu Tu's words, she chuckled "hehe" and said, "Want to know, huh? If you come home tonight, I'll tell you~~"

Qiu Tu:...

Qiu Tu calculated the time and, finding he could make it, readily agreed.

"It's a deal."

"It's a deal~~"

After finishing the conversation with Shen Lingshuang, Qiu Tu put down the communicator and headed back into the villa.

As he walked into the villa, Fang Tangtang was in the living room, propping her chin up, waiting for Qiu Tu.

Seeing Qiu Tu return, her face bloomed with a shy yet somewhat happy smile, and then she timidly asked, "Qiu Tu, have you finished the call?"

Qiu Tu nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it's done. Nothing to worry about."
