    At Liqing Corporation, Terrence handed out the standard uniform to Qiu Tong.


    Qiu Tong opened it in front of him. She held the short skirt against her hips, not looking surprised at all.


    She stared into Terrence’s eyes and said mockingly, “I didn’t expect yourpany’s taste to be so special.”


    Qiu Tong threw the clothes on the ground and pushed the door open to walk to her office. She said coldly to Yu Ge, “I agreed to be your bodyguard to ensure your safety. As for clothes, I won’t trouble you to provide me with any!”


    Yu Ge raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a perverted expression. Seeing this, Terrence found an excuse to leave as well.


    They were the only ones in the office. Qiu Tong asked tentatively, “When did you find out about your status?”


    Yu Ge looked at her in surprise and suspicion before walking arrogantly to her side. “You noticed?”


    “You’re indeed a smart woman! How is it? Do you want to consider being with me?”


    “Those high officials in the political world will never marrymoners. They just want to y with you.”


    Yu Ge recalled the person who had appeared beside her during the riot. His pupils constricted as he cleared his throat and continued to deceive her. “On the ount that we had a rtionship in the past, I can let you be my lover! You need to support three children. The expenses will definitely be huge, right?”


    Qiu Tong concealed the pity in her eyes as she secretly mocked Yu Ge’s stupidity and arrogance.


    She deliberately looked hesitant to let Yu Ge lower his guard.


    Qiu Tong looked up at theputer and asked casually, “How can I trust you?”


    “You’ve lied to me before. Moreover, I heard that the Liqing Corporation has a huge amount of assets and is involved in many projects. You don’t seem to have any decision-making power in thepany. Instead, you’re like a puppet. I need a stable life with my children. I won’t bet with you!”


    Qiu Tong twisted her fingers and tried her best to appear weak while secretly observing his reaction.


    It was obvious that Yu Ge enjoyed this change in Qiu Tong.


    He sat beside her and whispered exaggeratedly, “Don’t think that Terrence is in charge of thepany. He listens to me! I heard them say that they want to develop a pharmaceutical project in S City yesterday…”


    “These things are very profitable. If you follow me, you will definitely get a lot of money!”


    Yu Ge hooked her chin with his finger. She suppressed the disgust in her heart and endured his actions for three seconds before pushing him aside again.


    Qiu Tong stood up and ran to the vicinity of theputer in a panic. She quickly scanned the state of the equipment with her peripheral vision.


    Thisputer should have adequate ess to hack into the Liqing Corporation’swork and retrieve relevant information about the project. Qiu Tong frowned when she realized that the bottom drawer of the desk was locked.


    Yu Ge could tell that something was off so she hurriedly found an excuse to cover up this incident.


    …


    In an apartment hotel in S City, Chen Jia was treating the wound on her wrist and waiting for Jin Tao’s order.


    The video call on theputer was quickly connected. Chen Jia tidied herself and appeared in front of the camera. She lowered her head apologetically and said, “Sir, I didn’tplete my mission. I’m sorry!” She was a spy that Jin Tao had nted beside Jin Yang and Qiu Tong, with the goal of weakening their rtionship.


    Now that her n had failed, Chen Jia could only wait for Jin Tao’s punishment.


    Jin Tao’s expression did not change at all. In fact, there was even a hint of tolerance and benevolence in the corners of his eyes.


    He said indifferently, “Don’t return to the capital for the time being. Stay in S City and continue to observe Jin Yang and Qiu Tong’s movements. Report to me at any time, but don’t let them detect your existence. Learn to use other people’s hands…”


    “ording to the information you gather, think of a way to create trouble for Qiu Tong and Jin Yang… Do you understand?”


    Chen Jia nodded solemnly. When the video call ended, she looked down at the yellow dress by her feet, her eyes filled with determination to obey orders.


    After receiving the new information in her email, Chen Jia scanned Lin Shan’s photo and immediately left the apartment for the police station.


    Lin Shan was sentenced to 15 days in detention for disturbing the residence with malicious intent. The detention center was very rundown. She had tried to contact Shu Xian several times, but failed. Just as she lost hope, the police officer suddenly unlocked the door, indicating that she could leave.


    Chen Jia waited outside the police station. She looked at Lin Shan and raised her hand as she walked over slowly. “Shall we find a ce to talk?”


    Lin Shan looked at her in confusion. With a faint smile on her lips, Chen Jia said softly, “Qiu Tong is ourmon enemy.”


    Qiu Tong’s name agitated Lin Shan. She dug her fingers into her palms and said with hatred, “Alright! I’ll leave with you!”


    At the roadside stall, Chen Jia expressed her intention to work with Lin Shan to frame Qiu Tong.


    Recalling her failures, Lin Shan shook her head and reminded, “Qiu Tong is very smart. We can’t do it alone…”


    Chen Jia used her hand to shield herself from the ring sunlight. She asked with a smile, “What if I can help Shu Xian get the piece ofnd he wants? You should have a way to get him to join our side, right?”
