Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!

Today, Guan Xiao had obviously gone through some adornment.

Her face was like the peach blossoms of early spring, alluring yet not losing the vibrant beauty, and her skin was as white as jade, reflecting a healthy rosy glow.

Coupled with the seductive fiery red lips, she, already a stunning beauty, appeared even more radiant and enticing!

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, she covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then spoke, "Chief, it seems you've guessed wrong this time."

"I'm not here for the mole we've planted within the Special Warfare Squad."

As she said this, she blinked her watery eyes at Qiu Tu, and continued, "Actually... I'm just curious about what exactly is going on today."

She said, "For instance... why it's Vice Director Lai in the car, not Director Yan."

"For instance... I remember you telling me that you already briefed Director Yan about the assassination attempt."

"What exactly is going on here?"

Having said this, Guan Xiao closed the door behind her and then briskly jogged over to stand in front of Qiu Tu.

Then she squatted down in front of Qiu Tu, grasped his arm, gently shook it, and pleaded softly, "Chief~~ Please tell me~~"

Listening to his gorgeous subordinate's questions, and watching her actions, Qiu Tu showed no reaction on the surface, but inwardly, he felt like laughing.

He thought... people really are different.

Both women, both working for the Investigation Bureau. Tang Feifei never pries into anything; anything Qiu Tu doesn't mention, she never asks about.

Yet, Guan Xiao likes to dig deep, thoroughly investigating the secrets hidden beneath.

This was probably why her intelligence work was excellent and why she could obtain so much valuable information.

However... Qiu Tu was always cautious in his actions. If he didn't tell Tang Feifei, Guan Xiao was even less likely.

However, given Guan Xiao's personality, if she didn't get an answer, she would likely continue her investigation in private,

which would lead to more unnecessary trouble.

So, with this in mind, Qiu Tu gently withdrew his hand, then said with a smile, "How about this, Section Chief Guan."

"Let's substitute tea for alcohol, one cup of tea for one question."

"Once the pot of tea is finished, our conversation today concludes, and all answers to all questions shall stay in our hearts, never to be spoken again."

In "Fraud Psychology," there is a principle similar to the Zeigarnik effect in normal psychology, called the Ritualistic Approach Law.

This psychological theory has an interesting point, which is:

People naturally doubt answers that come too easily;

and instinctively believe in answers obtained after a series of complex steps.

This is because, after going through a series of complex steps, telling a false answer is quite against normal human intuition—it's too superfluous.

Not wanting to speak, one can simply remain silent. After so many complex steps, why still lie?

Fraudsters precisely exploit this kind of psychology to mess with their victims' emotions.

For instance... when a victim has fallen for it, wanting to buy a certain item, they pretend to have a hard time selling it to them.

Only after the victim repeatedly requests, do they "reluctantly" sell it to them.

This way, the victim naturally has complete faith in the purchase and might even become a repeat victim of the fraud.

Many members of the "National Treasure Gang" were lured into trouble step by step in just this way...

And while Qiu Tu mulled over his own "fraud skills," Guan Xiao indeed took the bait.

Her eyes lit up slightly, then she asked, "So... shall we each have a cup?"

Qiu Tu smiled and nodded his head, "Yes."

And so, the little game began.

Qiu Tu and Guan Xiao sat opposite each other.

Guan Xiao first poured Qiu Tu a cup of tea, then gestured with her hand, "Chief, please."

Qiu Tu, without any modesty, picked up the cup and drank the tea in one gulp.

He didn't actually have any questions, but to keep the game going smoothly, he still asked, "Who is the mole you've planted in the Lianzhen Special Combat Team?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's question, Guan Xiao covered her mouth, giggling sneakily, then deliberately teased, "Chief, why don't you guess~~"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu casually guessed, "Is it that... young man with the yellow hair?"

Guan Xiao laughed and shook her head.

Qiu Tu, "The Yellow-Toothed Old Man? Or the tattooed, young man with earrings?"

Guan Xiao kept laughing and shaking her head.

Qiu Tu paused, "Surely it's not the girl with glasses?"

At Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao's smile became even more radiant, but her head shook even more vigorously.

Honestly, Qiu Tu was genuinely curious at this point.

After all, his main suspects had all been guessed, and anyone left would really be out of the blue...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help asking, "It couldn't be the colonel of the Lianzhen Special Combat Team, could it?"

After saying this, even Qiu Tu laughed.

Wu Yun was a Third Order Cataclysmic and also a colonel of Lianzhen. If he was sent by Guan Xiao, or had been turned by her, then...

Tang Feifei's position could be taken by Guan Xiao!

Indeed, Guan Xiao laughed upon hearing Qiu Tu say this.

She shook her head and said, "Chief, you jest. I don't have that kind of ability."

After that, she finally stopped holding back.

She curved her fingers, placed them to her lips, and whistled.

The next second, a black cat leaped in through the window.

Its fur was as black as the ink of the night sky, smooth and glossy. Its eyes were two dazzling black gems, twinkling mysteriously in the room as if they could see through everything.

Seeing it, Guan Xiao grinned and took out a few pieces of meat from her pocket, throwing them to the black cat.

The black cat sniffed disdainfully and then gradually grew in size, swelling until it transformed into a diminutive lolita.
