Let them offer their loyalty!

The primary function of this bottle of Cataclysmic Potion is actually to help ordinary people sense the Power of Change, making it easier for them to awaken and become Cataclysmics.

However, if a Second Order Cataclysmic drinks it, they will possess effects similar to those of a Third Order Cataclysmic, such as seeing "spiritual bodies," "souls," and "consciousnesses."

Before the Cataclysmic treasures that can imprison souls and consciousnesses arrive in Xinjie City, Qiu Tu must stabilize Larilo in the coming days.

So, being able to see Larilo's figure and prevent her from escaping without Qiu Tu noticing is the first step.

As for the second step... Qiu Tu had already planned it long ago...

...

At 9 o'clock in the evening, after a hard day's work, Qiu Tu returned to the villa he shared with Fang Tangtang, bringing Tan Huimin with him.

By this time, Fang Tangtang had already come home.

Having spent the day with Su Xiaowan, her mood was noticeably good.

So she hummed a tune while steaming milk-flavored buns for Qiu Tu.

Possibly possessing a talent in cooking, Fang Tangtang was able to steam the buns and simultaneously stir-fry two dishes at the same time.

Therefore, when Qiu Tu and Tan Huimin entered the villa, what greeted their eyes was Fang Tangtang, wearing an apron and busily multitasking in the kitchen.

Seeing the adorable little chef before her, the already strained Tan Huimin's expression soured further.

She snorted lightly, then said, "You beast."

Qiu Tu gave her a puzzled look but couldn't be bothered to engage with her.

Ever since Qiu Tu had released Zheng Tao, who then disappeared, Tan Huimin had been frantic.

She repeatedly dialed Zheng Tao's communicator and searched everywhere for him.

After failing to find Zheng Tao, she kept calling Qiu Tu incessantly, but he had no time to deal with her last night.

It wasn't until Qiu Tu went to work today that Tan Huimin finally caught up with him.

However, before she got the chance to ask where Zheng Tao went, Qiu Tu told her directly: He was prepared to tell her a secret about her and Zheng Tao.

Initially, Tan Huimin did not want to engage with Qiu Tu, but since he claimed the secret was related to Zheng Tao's disappearance, her curiosity was piqued, and she was forced to follow Qiu Tu to the villa he shared with Fang Tangtang.

Having taken the Spiritual Sense Sharpening Potion on the way, Qiu Tu sat at the dining table and stealthily glanced at Fang Tangtang.

Indeed... after enhancing his Spiritual Perception, Qiu Tu could finally see Larilo.

Her Spiritual Body was still dressed in a long black dress.

The dress clung to her delicately shaped body, outlining her near-perfect curves.

Walking barefoot, her pale feet glowing like jade, she quietly clung to Fang Tangtang, and despite being weakened, her crimson eyes still gleamed with malice and mockery...

To avoid detection, Qiu Tu averted his eyes after glancing at Larilo and then turned toward Tan Huimin.

Perhaps due to Zheng Tao's disappearance and the loss of her only support, Tan Huimin seemed ready to give up.

She scoffed with a "heh" and then said, "You're about to die, yet you're still keeping a concubine in a gilded house."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu gave her a glance and asked, "About to die? What do you mean?"

Tan Huimin coldly responded, "It seems you are really out of the loop now."

"Director Yan held a high-level meeting today, and the first thing he did was to freeze the personnel appointments from this period."

"Those appointments that have been concluded will continue for the time being, but those that haven't will be suspended."

Continuing, Tan Huimin added, "Moreover, it's obvious he's targeting just you and Director Tang."

"As for Director Yu, Minister Shi, and even some neutral agents and section chiefs whose promotions he hasn't suspended but allowed to remain in effect."

Tan Huimin commented, "He's pulling in one group and hitting another."

"By not changing other people's appointments, he can minimize the impact, and when the time comes to make a move against you, it will be exceedingly convenient."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this. Tan Huimin wasn't lying; he also had heard about the meeting.

But he wasn't concerned. After all, his "battlefield" was now in the Sanctuary, not Xinjie City.

If he could sort out the "battlefield" of the Sanctuary, then a small Xinjie City would naturally be no challenge at all.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu did not continue the topic, instead saying, "Madam Zheng, I think instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself."

"The reason I had her come to my house is not for anything else, but because I'm worried about something happening to you."

With that, Qiu Tu took out an envelope and handed it over to Tan Huimin.

Tan Huimin, puzzled, took the envelope, opened it, and began to read.

Qiu Tu didn't disturb the beautiful widow but stood up to go to the kitchen.

The envelope contained Zheng Tao's confession about using the Mandragora Love Drug to control Tan Huimin and slaughtering her entire family, a document that Qiu Tu had asked Qin Shuman to photocopy that day.

There were two purposes in handing over this confession to Tan Huimin. The first was that Qiu Tu felt Tan Huimin's fate had been too bitter, and she deserved to know the truth.

The second purpose was... to deceive Larilo, to stabilize her.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu rarely showed his gentle side.

He went to the kitchen, then walked up behind Fang Tangtang and gently embraced her.

Perhaps not expecting Qiu Tu to suddenly show her such affection, Fang Tangtang's palm-sized oval face blushed "with a swell" of red.
