Seeing Tang Feifei's puzzled expression, Qiu Tu quickly sat properly on the sofa and revealed a "well-behaved" smile.
Then he continued with a shameless face, "Sister Tang... actually... I didn't want to trouble you."
"But the thing is... the most capable and powerful person I know is you."
"Who else should I turn to for help if not you when I'm in trouble?"
"And the trouble I've caused this time is indeed serious, if there's anyone in Xinjie City who could solve my problems, it would only be you."
"You wouldn't just stand by and watch me die, right?"
Seeing Qiu Tu's sycophantic demeanor, Tang Feifei was almost amused to anger.
She had been handling his affairs for the past two days and had spoken well of him in meetings, intending to invite him for a serious talk in the evening. Yet, she hadn't managed to arrange a meeting with him for two days.
Now that he was in trouble and realized he couldn't cope, he came running to her immediately!
A smile for her, a few nice words, and he thinks he can win her over?
Does she seem that easy to placate?!
Hmm...
Well, she seemed a bit easy to appease.
After all, getting the always arrogant Qiu Tu to lower his head in front of her did seem quite satisfying...
With that thought, Tang Feifei suppressed the upward curl of her lips and then snorted lightly, commenting, "Smooth talker."
But having said that, she quickly followed up with, "Alright, cut the crap. Just tell me straight, who have you provoked this time, why do they want to kill you, and what's their strength..."
Qiu Tu keenly caught the smile on Tang Feifei's lips and secretly rejoiced in his heart: Nailed it!
"Emotional Fraud Manual" method 44 out of 108 ways to improve relationships: Proper praise and compliments are always the best way to enhance the feelings between two people.
Note: If your target is an [Action-Oriented Person] or [Rational Planner], please use this in combination with method 43 (Chapter 102), and do not use it alone.
Tang Feifei, this woman, was always generous in her actions, so if she wasn't upset, she genuinely wasn't.
Seeing her reaction, Qiu Tu began to recount the events that had occurred over the past few days.
As he talked about serious matters, his expression gradually turned solemn, "Sister Tang, you should know about the new case Jia Shu recently handed over to me, right?"
Tang Feifei nodded slightly, her wheat-colored face expressionless, "The robbery at the pharmacy on August 16th, right?"
Qiu Tu said, "Yes."
"I've actually... solved that case."
Even Tang Feifei, who was usually calm, couldn't help but express surprise at Qiu Tu's words.
She did a quick calculation. From the time Qiu Tu took the case to today, it had only been... three days?
He solved a case in three days that the Public Security Bureau couldn't solve in thirty days?
Was the Public Security Bureau too incompetent, or was Qiu Tu too strong?
While she was pondering this, Qiu Tu added lightly, "Actually, I solved the case on the day I received it."
Tang Feifei:...
Tang Feifei confirmed that the man in front of her was indeed strong.
Although she evaluated Qiu Tu that way in her heart, Tang Feifei kept an impassive expression on her cool face.
She pretended to be indifferent and continued listening.
Qiu Tu's gaze turned distant, "But... after solving this case, I realized that the implications of this case might be far beyond my expectations."
He said, "I started my investigation when I discovered that one of my subordinates had suddenly become a Cataclysmic."
Next, Qiu Tu recounted the entire process of the case to Tang Feifei.
Most of it was true, except for certain details related to Golden Finger, where Qiu Tu would adjust the sequence of information to make everything sound more reasonable.
After hearing Qiu Tu's narrative, Tang Feifei's expression turned serious as well.
Her wheat-colored face showed extreme concentration, and her spirited eyebrows furrowed slightly, "So... you mean to say that this Evil God is now rapidly infiltrating Xinjie City?"
"Your subordinate Wang Xi and the Head of the Political Department, Jia Shu, are both her followers?"
"And Jia Shu even plans to assassinate you in the next few days for Her?"
Qiu Tu nodded, affirming Tang Feifei's summary.
Tang Feifei tensed up, absorbed in thought, evidently shaken by the news.
After a moment, she asked, "You just mentioned Jia Shu is a Second-Order Cataclysmic?"
Qiu Tu's reply was based on Larilo's words, "Yes. That's what the Evil God told me."
After finishing, he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, I still don't really understand the difference between a Second Order Cataclysmic and a First-Order Cataclysmic. Is there a big gap in strength between the two?"
Tang Feifei did not respond directly. Instead, she stood up and walked with her long legs to the kitchen.
Then her sharp eyes surveyed the kitchen and selected two items.
Moments later, she returned to Qiu Tu with the two items. She placed the first item on the coffee table, "This is a date, akin to an ordinary First-Order Cataclysmic."
Immediately after, she placed an apple in front of Qiu Tu, "And this represents a Second-Order Cataclysmic."
Qiu Tu was somewhat shocked, "Is the difference between them that vast?"
Tang Feifei nodded slightly.
She sat back on the sofa, and her firm and bouncy buttocks pressed onto the couch, producing a semi-circular curve on it.
"Actually... each promotion for a Cataclysmic is a reshaping of one's life."
"Like ordinary people experiencing Cataclysm Awakening, becoming a Cataclysmic. Their body undergoes comprehensive enhancement; they obtain their unique Cataclysm Path; they gain their own Cataclysmic ability; and they can use Spiritual Vision to see scenes from the Boundless Heart Sea."
