Back at the Investigation Bureau, Lu Qing went straight to Li Hui.
"Can I meet with those higher-ups?"
Li Hui was stunned for a moment, then realized that Lu Qing was looking for a spy.
After a moment of silence, he nodded:
"I can only tell you their names and identities; I have no way to find them all."
Lu Qing: "Having a name is enough."
Her only goal was to meet these people; once she did, she would have a way to expose the traitors.
For ordinary people who haven't undergone cultivation, catching spies is much easier than it was back then in the Investigation Bureau.
Jianming drove, with Liu Manyun accompanying him, and Lu Qing visited each of them one by one.
Upon seeing the person, she didn't ask any questions, but directly knocked them unconscious and then checked their body for any evil energy.
Li Hui provided a total of twelve names.
Lu Qing worked for two days and one night without rest, and finally, when he found the eighth person, he exposed the traitor.
This man's name was Yuan Honghe, and he was in his forties.
Lu Qing grabbed his collar, like she was pinching a chick:
"You leaked the time and route of Ma Xiong's escort to the Li Clan, didn't you?"
A flicker of panic crossed Yuan Honghe's eyes, but he still managed to argue:
"What did you say! I don't understand!"
"I'm warning you, let me go right now, or you'll regret it!"
Lu Qing sneered, then punched him in the stomach.
Yuan Honghe's face changed drastically with pain, and he clutched his abdomen, howling in pain.
"Still not admitting it?"
Lu Qing raised his fist, about to strike again.
Yuan Honghe immediately covered his head and shouted, "Stop hitting me! I admit it, I admit it, okay?!"
"That's good to admit!"
Lu Qing grabbed him, tied him up, and stuffed him into the trunk of the car.
"Jianming, back to the Investigation Bureau!"
"good!"
It was already late at night, and Lu Qing sat in the car, feeling exhausted but unable to fall asleep.
Gu Xicheng, it's been two days, why aren't you back yet!
"Idol, don't worry too much, Brother Gu will definitely be alright!" Liu Manyun comforted her.
Lu Qing let out a heavy sigh and managed a weak "hmm."
Back at the Investigation Bureau, Lu Qing handed the spy over to Li Hui:
"Uncle Li, let's have someone interrogate him. Maybe we can get some information out of him."
"Okay!" Li Hui nodded and told Jian Ming to take the person away and lock him up first.
Looking at Lu Qing's bloodshot eyes, Li Hui couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"Girl, you haven't slept for two days, why don't you go get some sleep!"
Lu Qing: "I'm fine, I want to go home."
Li Hui: "Then I'll have someone deliver it to you."
Lu Qing: "No need, I'll go back by myself."
Li Hui: "Alright! Then be careful!"
"Um!"
Lu Qing turned and left, walking alone towards her and Gu Xicheng's home.
The journey wasn't short, but Lu Qing walked quickly and arrived in half an hour.
Just as she was about to open the door and go in, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind her.
Everyone's footsteps are different; you can tell if you listen carefully. But the footsteps behind him were all too familiar to Lu Qing.
A glimmer of light suddenly burst forth in my eyes, and surprise bloomed like fireworks.
"Gu Xicheng!"
As soon as Lu Qing turned around, she saw Gu Xicheng's slightly disheveled figure.
Two days later, his beard had grown out, and his eyes, like his own, were bloodshot.
He seemed to be very tired; his back was slightly hunched, but he had a smile on his face.
"Qingqing..."
Gu Xicheng opened his arms and slowly walked towards Lu Qing.
His steps were a little unsteady, but very firm.
Lu Qing rushed towards him at the fastest speed she had ever been, threw herself into his arms, and hugged him tightly.
Tears quickly soaked through Gu Xicheng's clothes.
"Gu Xicheng, why did it take you so long to come back!" Lu Qing's voice was trembling with tears.
"I'm sorry! I'm back... I'm late..."
Gu Xicheng still had so much to say to Lu Qing, but he was too tired. Before he could finish speaking, his entire weight fell on Lu Qing.
"Gu Xicheng! Gu Xicheng!"
Lu Qing's expression tightened, and he quickly examined Gu Xicheng's body.
His internal energy was almost completely depleted, even more so than when he was besieged by the Li Clan at the seaside last time.
Fortunately, he was out of danger.
Lu Qing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then picked Gu Xicheng up and carried him in her arms.
If anyone were here right now, they would be astonished by this scene.
A petite girl, about 1.6 meters tall and with a slender figure, actually lifted a man who was 1.85 meters tall in a princess carry.
This scene just doesn't look right.
Back home, Lu Qing put Gu Xicheng on the bed, then filled the bathtub with hot water, took off Gu Xicheng's dirty clothes, and put them in.
I don't know what Gu Xicheng went through these past two days, he's very dirty.
Lu Qing sat next to him in the bathtub and shaved his beard, then washed his hair and body clean bit by bit.
Gu Xicheng slept soundly the whole time, showing no signs of waking up.
When Lu Qing finished washing him clean and was about to carry him back to bed, she found that she couldn't lift him up no matter what she did.
After trying twice, Lu Qing realized that Gu Xicheng had woken up!
Seeing that he still had his eyes closed, Lu Qing reached out and pinched his chest hard.
"Hiss~"
Gu Xicheng immediately opened his eyes.
Lu Qing grinned mischievously: "Finally, you've opened your eyes!"
Gu Xicheng chuckled softly, "I was originally planning to wait a while, but forget it!"
Lu Qing raised an eyebrow: "What do you want to do?"
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Xicheng pulled her into the bathtub.
"What do you think I want to do?"
The next second, Gu Xicheng kissed her.
Lu Qing kept her mouth tightly shut, preventing him from opening his teeth.
"Gu Xicheng, I haven't brushed my teeth for two days, and your breath stinks too!"
Gu Xicheng was both amused and exasperated. He then released Lu Qing's mouth, lifted her out of the bathtub, and placed her under the showerhead.
"Then let's wash it clean and then cook it!"
The last two words made Lu Qing's ears and face turn bright red.
...
The sound of rushing water in the bathroom lasted for a long time, and soon after, ambiguous sounds joined in.
After a while, the sound of water disappeared.
After leaving the bathroom, I entered the bedroom, where the sound of water was replaced by the creaking of the bed as it rocked.
The sun quickly set completely, rose again the next day, and then set again.
The decadent music started and ended, ended and started again, for three whole days, with interruptions but never stopping.
"Gu! Xi! Cheng! I! Want! To! Get! Out! of! Bed!" Lu Qing wailed.
Gu Xicheng: "No, you don't want to."
Lu Qing: "..."
Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, as the sun rose, this dual cultivation finally came to an end.
Gu Xicheng regained all the strength he had exhausted.
Although Lu Qing had back pain, the benefits of dual cultivation made her look very energetic.
Gu Xicheng kissed Lu Qing on the cheek: "Good morning!"
Lu Qing glared at him fiercely:
"I have my last exam today. If you stop me again, I'll chop you up!"
Gu Xicheng was both amused and exasperated: "I won't stop you, I absolutely won't stop you."
Lu Qing got up from the bed, casually put on some clothes, and left the bedroom.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Lu Qing thought it was the takeout and went straight to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a large group of people were standing at the door.
Her roommates and their boyfriends were all there, and she was wearing pajamas.
Although not exposed, the hickeys on her neck, collarbone, and arms were all clearly visible.
While Lu Qing was in a daze, Gu Xicheng also walked out of the room.
He was wearing only a pair of shorts, and the bite marks and scratches all over his upper body were clearly visible to everyone.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
