With that in mind, Qiu Tu made a decision.
It was a sacrifice for the development of his own faction, not for some romantic love!
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu did not immediately take action against Ai Li.
Everything should be done step by step. When manipulating, one must never be too hasty.
"Here, put this on."
Glancing around the resting room, Qiu Tu picked up a robe from beside the bed and tossed it to Ai Li.
Ai Li caught it, her cheeks tinted with a blush, but she feigned indifference and said, "Thank you."
Qiu Tu moved a chair, sat behind her, then smiled and said, "You're welcome."
"Come, let's talk."
He said, "I've been capturing fugitives these past couple of days, so I'm a bit out of the loop regarding the current situation in Dongye State."
"Has there been any recent changes in the State?"
Saying that, Qiu Tu paused, then hinted, "For instance… it seems the Speaker is quite concerned about my recent mission?"
