At that instant, his instincts made him look toward the door, filled with a sense of danger as if he had encountered a "natural enemy."
As he savored the feeling, it didn''t seem quite like a natural enemy but more like the instinctive reaction of a lower animal on the food chain encountering a higher one.
He couldn''t help but look up at Liu Fuping.
But strangely, Liu Fuping seemed to have no reaction at all and continued to eat her dinner with her head down.
Qiu Tu was somewhat puzzled: Could it be... that only Cataclysmics have this sense of detection? Ordinary people can''t feel it?
With this thought, Qiu Tu couldn''t help but quickly conceal all his presence, trying to make himself appear no different from Liu Fuping.
But... his attention remained fixed on the door.
Because, if his guess was correct, the person outside the door giving him such a strong sense of presence must be Tang Feifei!
Indeed, following Qiu Tu''s train of thought.
Someone outside Liu Fuping''s room door gently knocked.
Liu Fuping gave Qiu Tu a look and then stood up while calling out, "Coming. Who is it?"
As she spoke, she walked to the door and then opened it.
The next second was the moment for a showdown of two best actresses'' acting skills.
Upon seeing Tang Feifei outside the door, Liu Fuping timely disyed a surprised expression, "Director Tang? What brings you here?"
And Tang Feifei outside held up the food she brought and said somewhat aloofly, "I happen to be free today, so I came to have dinner with you."
As she said this, she rigidly nced toward the dining area inside the house and then asked expressionlessly, "Do you have guests over?"
Hearing her, best actress Liu Fuping also timely made room and said with an awkward expression, "Yes, we worked toote today at the investigation team, so I invited my supervisor Qiu Tu over for a simple meal."
After saying that, Liu Fuping looked towards Qiu Tu and introduced him, "Chief Qiu, this is Deputy Director Tang from our Investigation Bureau."
Hearing Liu Fuping''s introduction, Qiu Tu knew the time hade to test his acting skills. He stood up with a look of surprise, nced at Liu Fuping, then at Tang Feifei.
Then he respectfully bowed to Tang Feifei, "Director Tang, hello!"
Tang Feifei, upon hearing this, seemed to have some of the frost on her face melt away.
Looking at Qiu Tu, she nodded, "Since it''s one of our own, let''s all eat together."
With that simple sentence, Tang Feifei seized control of the conversation, depriving Qiu Tu of even the chance to refuse.
So, Qiu Tu also timely disyed a hint of embarrassment and difficulty. Then he reluctantly said, "Then I will respectfullyply."
"Please, Director Tang."
And so, with three people and two agendas, the stage was set for the night''s events to begin.

Liu Fuping led Tang Feifei to the dining table. Qiu Tu''s gaze lingered on Tang Feifei for a short moment, seeing this legendary woman for the first time.
As Liu Fuping had said: Tang Feifei possessed a demeanor unlike ordinary people. She was like a mother tiger, a lioness, naturally exuding a confident regal aura, as if nothing in this world could ever trouble her.
Coupled with her wheat-colored skin, her neat short hair, robust figure, and icy demeanor, she was indeed a woman with her unique charm!
After Tang Feifei sat down, an icy atmosphere permeated the air, and the whole table''s ambiance became a bit more sober.
Seeing this, Liu Fuping took the initiative to pour Tang Feifei a ss of wine and then raised her ss, inviting, "Director, Chief, meeting today must be fate."
"Let''s have a drink."
Having said that, she drained the wine in her ss.
As the host, neither Qiu Tu nor Tang Feifei could refuse the courtesy, so seeing this, they "had to" pick up their sses and started to drink as well.
After one drink, Liu Fuping poured another ss for both of them and herself, then continued, "This second ss of wine, I want to thank the Director and the Chief. Without you two, there would be no me."
"It''s really not easy for a weak woman like me to find a ce in this chaotic world."
After saying that, Liu Fuping once again drained her ss.
Qiu Tu:.....
Qiu Tu nced at Tang Feifei, who gave him a look back, then she picked up her ss and boldly drained it in one gulp.
Qiu Tu felt a little bald.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
This part wasn''t in the script.
His tolerance for alcohol could only be considered average; having drunk two sses already, how was he to continue drinking?
Although he wasining inwardly, Qiu Tu had no choice but to refuse, so he could only pick up his ss and drink another one.
The three of them were drinking red wine from sses that held around 200-300 milliliters; even if the wine was only poured halfway, it would still be about 100-150 milliliters per ss.
Two sses down, this was equivalent to drinking 4-6 liang (200-300 milliliters) of alcohol on an empty stomach.
So, seeing Liu Fuping picking up the third ss, Qiu Tu hurriedly decided to skip this "ice-breaking" activity.
He took the initiative to pick up his ss and toasted to Tang Feifei, "Director Tang, I had long heard of your esteemed name, but I did not expect to meet you tonight. Truly, it is a great fortune in life."
"To you."
After saying that, Qiu Tu drained his ss.
With Qiu Tu''s toast, Tang Feifei finally showed a hint of a smile on her ice-like face.
She smiled slightly and also drank the wine in her ss, formally starting the evening''s serious conversation with Qiu Tu, "I have actually been paying close attention to Chief Qiu as well."
"I have even asked my assistant to invite you over to my office several times."
"But you seem to be busy and haven''t had the time?"
Hearing Tang Feifei''s words, Qiu Tu took a bite of food, and while eating, he spoke as if he was troubled, "Today, I have been pursued here by Director Tang, so I won''t hide it from you anymore."
