Liu Xingxing didn't wait for any response from Chuanliu any longer, and decisively turned and left without even looking back.

Chuanliu stared wide-eyed in shock at Liu Xingxing's receding figure.

She originally thought Liu Xingxing was just testing her, but she didn't expect him to so directly and suddenly reveal his purpose.

That unexpected remark struck her like a bolt from the blue, instantly plunging her into deep thought.

Aren't you investigating something...?

These words echoed in Chuanliu's mind.

This was one of the very few times she felt out of control after arriving on Paradise Island.

Since Liu Xingxing had already investigated her and could say such things, it meant that his words were not unfounded. He must have some information, enough to make him suspicious of Chuan Liu, which is why he personally visited Chuan Liu the moment she returned to the villa.

Did Liu Xingxing really guess her purpose?

Has her purpose been exposed like this?

Chuanliu was in a state of confusion. She couldn't be sure of Liu Xingxing's intentions, nor could she regard him as a trustworthy ally.

However, the fact that Liu Xingxing could say that meant that he had indeed discovered something.

This made Chuanliu feel that he had something on him and was in a passive position.

Therefore, even if Liu Xingxing's invitation tomorrow is a trap, she must go.

I didn't sleep a wink all night.

In the blink of an eye, the morning light bathed every corner of the city.

The glass curtain walls of the buildings in the Block City reflect the soft morning light, making this already dazzling city even more radiant.

Chuanliu wandered alone through the blocky city, and the familiar streets and buildings gave her a long-lost sense of warmth.

Soon, she arrived at the towering, blocky building.

As the elevator ascended smoothly, her heart began to race.

Tension and vigilance.

She fiddled with her cards in her pocket; at that moment, it seemed only playing cards could bring her some peace of mind.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator doors slowly opened.

The meeting room was spacious and bright, with morning sunlight streaming through the glass and filling the entire space.

A man was sitting in the center of the conference table.

To Chuanliu's surprise, the person sitting there was not Liu Xingxing, whom she had met yesterday, but Zhou Zheng, the supreme leader of the Cube City, also known as "Cube A".

Zhou Zheng?

It seems that Liu Xingxing was actually inviting him on his behalf.

Chuanliu immediately realized what was happening.

Zhou Zheng was dressed in a casual t-shirt, yet his air of a noble young master was still undeniable.

His gaze toward Chuanliu revealed nobility and elegance, showing no sign of surprise, as if everything was under his control.

Chuanliu's expression was calm as still water. She lowered her head slightly, as if to hide her surprise, and then bowed gently in Zhou Zheng's direction.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I didn't know you were here. I must have come to the wrong place. I'm sorry to have bothered you."

After saying that, she stretched out her finger and gently pressed the close button on the elevator.

With a "beep," the elevator doors began to slowly close, and the view of the top-floor conference room gradually shrank in her field of vision.

She peered through the crack and saw Zhou Zheng still sitting there, a smile on his face, his eyes piercing, like a still statue, quietly watching her.

However, just as the elevator doors were about to close completely, a slender hand suddenly reached into the gap between the doors.

The elevator doors felt resistance, emitted a soft "beep" sound, and then bounced open again.

Liu Xingxing then appeared beside the elevator door.

His expression remained cold, and he simply uttered two words: "Come in."

The girl quickly forced a smile, "Oh, it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. So you two, Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhou, are together. Sorry to keep you waiting."

Liu Xingxing ignored her and instead found a stool and sat down next to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng stood up and took a few graceful steps forward. His voice was as gentle as a spring breeze. "Miss Chuanliu, it's been a long time."

Chuanliu smiled and responded, then sat down in the chair opposite Zhou Zheng. "Mr. Zhou, I really didn't expect to see you here today."

Zhou Zheng smiled slightly, but a hint of something unfathomable flashed in his eyes. "Miss Chuanliu, did you really not expect this?"

The young woman's smile remained unchanged. "I was informed by Boss Liu yesterday that the higher-ups are concerned about me. I wonder what important matters Boss Zhou and Boss Liu have to discuss with me amidst their busy schedules?"

"Xingxing probably already told you yesterday that we have some questions we'd like to ask you first."

Zhou Zheng's smile was still as warm as a spring breeze, but Chuan Liu felt a chill creep down his spine.

Chuanliu blinked innocently, "Actually, after Boss Liu told me yesterday, I went home and thought about it all night, but I really don't know what you mean... If you're blaming me for investigating the identities of the official residents of Paradise Island in private, I admit that as a newcomer, I have neither qualifications nor experience, and I really feel very insecure if I don't investigate."

Liu Xingxing suddenly interjected, her voice sharp, "Chuanliu, stop avoiding the important issues here."

He stared coldly at Chuanliu, as if trying to discern her true thoughts.

"Should I tell you directly what you're investigating, or will you admit it yourself?" After saying that, Liu Xingxing looked away, seemingly mocking the girl's hypocrisy.

To hold such high positions in the City of Lies, represented by "Liars," one is a "King of Lies" and the other an "Ace of Lies." Clearly, these two are not easily fooled.

The girl paused, as if weighing the pros and cons.

After a long pause, she leaned back, deflated like a punctured balloon, and said:

"Yes, I did investigate the old residents, but that was because I was terrified! One minute it's this '9' vs. '10' debate, the next it's that '9' vs. '10' debate. If I don't find out the potential threats to me and secure some resources, won't I be following in Xu Zhi's footsteps in no time!"

She glared at the two of them as if in a huff, "It's just about finding partners and eliminating dissidents! I don't believe you haven't done this kind of thing before!"

As she spoke, she took out her "10 of Diamonds" from her pocket and slammed it onto the table with a "thud".

"If you're not happy about it, you might as well take away my identity. Anyway, whether I live or die is just a matter of your word."

The girl was breathing heavily, as if she was truly angry.

This is the most reasonable explanation that Chuanliu came up with last night; it's both logical and reasonable.

In the vast conference room, only the girl's excited echoes could be heard for a moment.

After waiting for a while, Liu Xingxing broke the silence.

"Then what's the matter with your investigation into that brat?" His attitude softened somewhat, but it was still accusatory.
