If it were the Liu Fuping of the past, upon hearing Qiu Tu's probing, she would have likely been a bit panicked inside.
Even though she underwent professional training, her relatively average skills always resulted in quite a few slip-ups.
But this period of time, following Qiu Tu's learning and experiences, and even having had an epiphany last night thanks to Qiu Tu, Liu Fuping had clearly grown and changed.
Therefore, faced with Qiu Tu's probing, she wasn't flustered in the least; she even hooked her arm around Qiu Tu's neck and giggled, "Heeheehee."
With a slight lift of her eyes, her gaze full of provocation, she teased, "Since it's , why doesn't the superior try to guess which power is behind me?"
Looking at Liu Fuping's seductive manner, Qiu Tu felt an itch in his heart; ever since this beautiful woman had her awakening, she had become increasingly bold and flirtatious with him, often making it hard for him to restrain himself.
However, it was precisely this thrill that made him increasingly interested in their cat-and-mouse game.
So, he reached out, caressed Liu Fuping's cheek as soft as a young girl's, and asked with a smile, "If I guess correctly, what do I get?"
"A reward, huh...?" A soft light twinkled in Liu Fuping's peach blossom eyes as she leaned in toward Qiu Tu's ear and whispered softly, "How about I... spend the night with you?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu scoffed disdainfully, "You sure that's a benefit for me? It seems more like you're rewarding yourself."
"Hehehe..." Liu Fuping couldn't help but laugh at Qiu Tu's words.
With a mischievous smile on her face and looking cunningly at Qiu Tu, she boldly suggested, "How about this... Director Tang and I... both spend the night with you... What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu hissed as images of Liu Fuping's creamy skin and Tang Feifei's wheat-colored skin mingling on a bed began to dance in his head.
Thus, he couldn't help but raise his price and said, "Four nights."
"Deal." Liu Fuping agreed with a smile.
Qiu Tu, "...Six nights."
"Heeheehee..." Liu Fuping was so amused by Qiu Tu's unserious demeanor that she couldn't straighten her back from laughter, her chest shaking continuously.
After the laughter had passed, Liu Fuping raised her eyes with a feigned pout and said, "Are you going to guess or not? If you don't guess, you won't get a single night."
Qiu Tu, upon hearing this, also reverted back to his serious self. Stretching lazily, he casually said with a light smile, "I'll guess... you're from... the Investigation Bureau."
Qiu Tu's statement sounded like a truism.
If someone else were beside them, they would probably think Qiu Tu was mental: as an agent of the Political Department, of course Liu Fuping would be backed by the Investigation Bureau.
But... Liu Fuping immediately understood what Qiu Tu meant, so her complexion couldn't help but change.
Seeing her reaction, Qiu Tu teasingly smiled and gently patted Liu Fuping's shoulder, "Looks like I guessed correctly."
"Let me guess which city's Investigation Bureau you belong to around Xinjie City?"
Liu Fuping, upon hearing this, stared intently at Qiu Tu, as if she wanted to personally witness him guess wrong.
But Qiu Tu clearly disappointed her, "Eastern City Investigation Bureau."
Qiu Tu, with a smile in his eyes, continued, "Am I right? Agent Liu from the Political Department of the Eastern City Investigation Bureau?"
Even as she tried her best to conceal it, Liu Fuping's pupils contracted slightly, and her body stiffened for a moment when Qiu Tu revealed her identity.
After a moment, she smiled radiantly, denying, "The superior is joking. I'm just an ordinary agent from our Xinjie City. I'm certainly not some spy from another city's Investigation Bureau."
Qiu Tu smiled and lifted Liu Fuping's chin, asking, "So, are you trying to back out of the deal?"
Liu Fuping giggled twice and replied, "Not really."
Speaking, she stepped back, disengaging from Qiu Tu's flirtatious advances, and asked, "I'm just a bit curious why the superior thinks I'm from the Eastern City Investigation Bureau? Do you have any evidence, or... is it just a random guess?"
Seeing Liu Fuping step back, Qiu Tu didn't follow. While walking to the table and tidying up the documents, he said with a laugh, "People like us who work on the secret front must always be keen to notice details and analyze information."
"First of all, City Hall is very concerned with the 'Yin Caimei case,' but you didn't seem to take it seriously. Plus, City Hall clearly has no idea about the progress of my case; otherwise, they wouldn't have been unprepared today."
"Therefore, you're not likely to be City Hall's spy."
Liu Fuping nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
Qiu Tu continued, "Next, you're not a member of the Anti-government Armed Forces."
"The reason is similar to that of City Hall: Yin Caimei is a key figure in the Anti-government Armed Forces. Whether it's to save her, kill her, or to use the opportunity to create discord among the three main authorities of Xinjie City, you have too many reasons to be invested in this case."
"But you, yet again, were not..."
"Moreover, the first time you revealed your identity as a spy in front of me, even though you seemed a bit panicked, there was no fear or confusion."
"This indicates that you know even if your identity is exposed, you can get the necessary protection, with no threat to your life."
"Such confidence in one's own identity isn't something that a spy from the Anti-government Armed Forces could possess."
Liu Fuping looked a bit surprised, clearly not expecting Qiu Tu to still remember that night when her identity was tricked out of her long ago.
Meanwhile, Qiu Tu had finished tidying up the documents on the table. As he packed the materials into a file bag, he continued his analysis, "Furthermore, you're not a spy from The military."
"The reason is quite simple; your role as a spy is clearly aimed at Director Tang."
As he said this, Qiu Tu glanced at her and then said with a smile, "But I happen to know who The military's spy is around Director Tang."
