About ten minutes later,
Near the headquarters of the Glorious Star Society,
In the innermost booth of a coffee shop,
Liu Xiaojiang and Qu Tong sat opposite each other, with a cup of steaming hot coffee in front of them. There was no sense of hostility between them, and both of them looked like a pair of good friends meeting and chatting.
However..,
Until now, neither of them had the intention to speak. It was obvious that both of them had their own thoughts, and both of them wanted to figure out the true purpose of the other party without being noticed.
At this time, as long as one patiently observed the atmosphere of the booth, one would find that the two of them did not seem like good friends at all. Instead, it was more like two strangers who happened to be sitting together...
A few minutes later..,
"What exactly do you want?" Qu Tong looked at the indifferent Liu Xiaojiang and could not help but slowly frown, "You asked me to come to you.
"You asked me to meet you alone, and here I am. So … what exactly do you know?"
Liu Xiaojiang once again threw a few cubes of sugar into the coffee cup, stirring the sweet liquid in the cup with a small spoon, and said without raising his head,
"Establishing the Glorious Star Society, in the name of saving the Inhumans, while developing your own connections to obtain information, you also took the opportunity to use your ability to control those with weak willpower and frustration..."
"Now, you've asked Ma Xianhong to forge a cultivation furnace for you, and you've even set your sights on Feng Bao Bao..."
"Miss Qu Tong, you have to tell me what you want to do first, and then I'll tell you everything I know according to what you said. Only then can it be considered a reasonable deal... Do you understand?"
When Qu Tong heard the word 'deal', she immediately rested her chin on her hand and looked at Liu Xiaojiang with interest. She smiled and said,
"Liu Zhenren, if you say so, I really don't understand you. Deal... no matter how you look at it, two people who can only be enemies can only reach a deal?"
Liu Xiaojiang put down the small spoon, picked up the coffee, and took a sip. Then, he put the cup back on the table with a tired face, and said,
"Feng Baobao can't be touched. That's my bottom line. As for the rest, as long as it doesn't involve me and doesn't affect what I'm doing, then you can do whatever you want. Oh … I put too much sugar."
"With more than a dozen cubes of sugar, this large cup can't be considered coffee anymore." Qu Tong picked up the cup on the table and took a few sips,
"It seems that you really don't like the bitter taste at all."
"It's just a choice. Since you have the ability to eat sweet things, why force yourself to suffer?" Liu Xiaojiang smiled indifferently and said,
"Actually, even if you don't say anything, as long as I'm here... Feng Bao Bao Bao Bao, you can forget about it."
"Furthermore, as long as you touch my bottom line, whether it's me or the company, you won't be able to stop us. You'll be destroyed … or you'll be crippled and handed over to the law. That should be your final ending."
"Why?" Qu Tong couldn't help but be curious. "Based on the current situation, you should be the one who has the initiative. As long as you tell Zhao Fangxu my identity, you should be able to get someone else to do the dirty work for you."
"But you still helped me hide my identity from Zhao Fangxu even though you knew that I had touched Feng Bao Bao. What you're doing... doesn't seem to make sense?"
"Sense..." Liu Xiaojiang shook his head in confusion and said, "Tell me... what is your ability?"
"If it's an innate ability like the Requiem Spell, it seems that some things are hard to explain. After all, you're probably not from the Lyu Family, so it's impossible for you to awaken something like the Requiem Spell. But if it's not the Requiem Spell, then what is it?"
"If it's not an inexplicable innate ability like the Requiem Spell, you don't seem to have any reason to touch a genius of the Lyu Family..."
"How can you be sure of my relationship with the Lyu Family, and that I had touched a genius of the Lyu Family?" Qu Tong asked rhetorically.
"I can't be sure." Liu Xiaojiang shook his head again and said, "However, other than your ability to control other people's minds and perceptions, I can't think of any other reason why the Lyu Family would treat Lu Liang that way."
"If we can change the perception of others and let the insiders of the Lu family make a move on Lu Huan and then frame Lu Liang, it doesn't seem to be completely impossible."
"After all, Lu Huan's death was too coincidental, so much so that it didn't attract the attention of the Lyu Family. Then, Lu Liang, this' suitable 'kid, happened to' cause 'Lu Huan's death again. If this wasn't done by someone from the Lyu Family, how could it be done so quietly?"
"But the Lyu Family has no reason to do this. Even if someone was treated unfairly in the Lyu Family, they wouldn't go to such extremes to take revenge. Everyone knows how much Lü Ci values the geniuses of the Lyu Family. Once this matter is exposed, even death would be a luxury."
"At this time, if you consider your means of controlling others, you might really be able to find a suitable candidate from the Lyu Family..."
Qu Tong smiled as she picked up her coffee cup and said, "Liu Zhenren, it's a pity that you don't write novels. Your imagination is so rich..."
"This is indeed just a guess." Liu Xiaojiang also smiled. His smile was extremely sincere.
"But you will verify this guess for me in the future. After all, Zhao Fangxu has already begun to suspect you and the company's board of directors."
"If you don't find a suitable reason and just 'perfunctorily' investigate, in the end, you don't provide any useful information to the company. This suspicion will only deepen. It's only a matter of time before you and the mole in the company are exposed."
At this point..,
Liu Xiaojiang slowly put away the smile on his face. Under Qu Tong's gaze, he stretched out four fingers and said,
"Miss Qu Tong, if you don't want to be exposed prematurely, you can only give me the 'reasonable' clue of the Lyu Family's Bright Soul Technique. At the same time, you will also directly help me verify four things."
"First, you risked being noticed by Lü Ci and did not hesitate to gain the trust of the company. This undoubtedly proves that you are indeed the culprit behind everything that happened before."
"Second, you used the Bright Soul Technique to gain the trust of the company. You have to explain everything reasonably. If you did it, it means that you know the Bright Soul Technique very well, but it's impossible for you to be a person arranged by the Lyu Family outside."
"Third, you're not a member of the Lyu Family, but you know the Bright Soul Technique that the Lyu Family values the most. This proves that you have at least investigated the Lyu Family's Bright Soul Technique. An outsider investigating the Bright Soul Technique... No matter what you think, at least in the eyes of the Lyu Family, you are definitely an enemy of the Lyu Family outside."
"Fourth, you have investigated the Bright Soul Technique, but with your strength and the ability of the Glorious Star Society, it is impossible to do it. It is nothing more than using your own ability. In this way, regardless of whether you are the one who did the Lyu Huan incident...
"At the very least, you have used your ability to control a member of the Lyu Family."
After saying that, without waiting for Qu Tong's reaction, he put down his outstretched finger and looked at the mature woman with a smile.
"Miss Qu Tong, you once did not hesitate to offend that mad dog Lü Ci to investigate the Lyu Family and their Bright Soul Technique. You have to have a reason that you think is worth it, right?"
"Your ability is very similar to the Bright Soul Technique. Perhaps it will be a reason for you to investigate the Bright Soul Technique. But if you think about it this way, considering Lü Ci's mad dog personality, it doesn't seem very reasonable, right?"
"After all, the Lyu Family's Bright Soul Technique is an innate ability. There is almost no need to investigate this matter, unless... you knew that there was a big trick in the Bright Soul Technique."
"What is the trick? How did you know? What made you not hesitate to offend Lü Ci to investigate the Bright Soul Technique and even make a move on the genius junior of the Lyu Family?"
At this moment...
Qu Tong looked at the smiling Liu Xiaojiang opposite her and couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
"You really know about the Lyu Family. It is obviously a very closed village. Even the company doesn't know about the internal affairs of the Lyu Family."
"It seems that the mysterious person who attacked the Lyu Family Village at night a while ago and caused Lyu Zhong to be completely crippled is most likely you..."
"You dared to attack the Lyu Family Village and investigate the Bright Soul Technique of the Lyu Family just based on a little guess. You even crippled Lyu Zhong, who is likely to be the next family head, under the siege of Lü Ci and the others..."
"Because I am very curious." Liu Xiaojiang was still smiling.
"..." Qu Tong.
