This is Chuanliu's plan.
It was a test, but it actually proved successful.
Wang Qiao ran her slender, white fingers across the man's face, but he brushed them away in disgust before leaving the meeting room.
Only Chuanliu and the man in black remained in the room, and they looked at each other in silence.
Chuanliu walked up to him, then went around behind him and asked, "Does it hurt a lot when they tied you up?"
The man remained silent.
After a while, Qiaojie came back.
She told Chuanliu, "I have contacted the WD Investigation Bureau, and they will send a drone helicopter over in the early morning of three days from now."
Then, she returned to her seat, crossed her legs, and looked at the man in black with a mixture of teasing and curiosity in her eyes.
"Now, tell me your story... Liu Xingxing."
Sitting at the very back of the conference room, directly opposite Sister Qiao, was none other than "King of Cubes," known as the Black Widow of Cube City.
—Liu Xingxing
His gaze gradually shifted from initial caution to indifference and coldness, as if he were merely an outsider, not someone who had been captured.
Beneath Liu Xingxing's usually cold face lay a hint of unintentional pride; even though she was tied up, she didn't look too disheveled.
He sneered and said casually, "So, you're all from the WD Investigation Bureau."
Chuanliu said from the side, "Liu Xingxing, stop pretending. WD already discovered that you were trying to contact the outside world using my method."
Liu Xingxing did not respond to her words, but simply leaned back in her chair and slightly raised her head.
“There’s no need to tell him all this. I’m more curious about his identity.” Wang Qiao raised an eyebrow at Liu Xingxing.
Liu Xingxing finally spoke under their gazes, his voice tinged with self-mockery as he looked at Chuanliu: "I underestimated you. If I had known you were such a menace, I should have had Ma Hu kill you as soon as you arrived on the island!"
He paused for a moment, then finally revealed his identity.
"That's right, I am the 'Joker'."
Wang Qiao: "You admit it?"
Liu Xingxing: "Now that things have come to this, what is there left to hide? You don't need to waste any more time investigating. Black Widow is just my hidden identity. I am the arms dealer you have been looking for."
Wang Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "An arms dealer? Didn't the intelligence say you only had a batch of weapons?"
Liu Xingxing countered, "Since I've been able to hide my identity for so long, do you think it's difficult to let rumors go astray?"
Qiao Jie felt a surge of excitement. If "Joker" was an arms dealer, then the Reconstruction Faction would have to reconsider how to deal with "Joker".
That would mean they might have a continuous supply of military support!
It could even lead to a long-term partnership!
Wang Qiao couldn't help but feel a little excited, but she quickly concealed the excitement in her eyes and continued to ask, "Did Zhou Zheng already know your identity? I knew that someone like him who puts his own interests first in everything he does, how could he have been so close to you from the beginning?"
After speaking, she carefully observed Liu Xingxing's expression, trying to confirm her guess.
Unfortunately, to her disappointment, Liu Xingxing showed a mocking expression.
“Zhou Zheng? If it weren’t for my scheme, would he have gotten everything he has now? He only thinks he’s smart because he’s clever. In fact, if I hadn’t discovered early on that your Plum Blossom City was connected to the WD Investigation Bureau and that I was making all the decisions behind your back, how could we have gotten ahead of you and obtained that batch of weapons from two years ago?”
And then there's Chuanliu. Zhou Zheng told me to keep a close eye on your movements, and it's thanks to him that I discovered your connection with WD. It's just a pity we couldn't find the signal station, but WD found out.
Wang Qiao shook her head and laughed, "I never imagined that Zhou Zheng had been kept in the dark by you for so many years. I thought..."
"You think I like him?"
Liu Xingxing's sharp gaze shot over, "Ha, I've seen so many men outside the island, and every single one of them said they'd pluck the stars from the sky for me when they were dating me. But in reality? They were all the same!"
When Zhou Zheng first produced the "Little King" card, he also suspected the existence of my "Big King" card. He did look for it, but he asked me to look for it.
Haha, hahaha! He never imagined that the "Joker" he longed for was right beside him! Hahahaha!
Liu Xingxing's laughter echoed in the conference room.
The laughter subsided, and his expression returned to its coldness. He said, "So, I'm revealing my true identity because I want to talk to you. In business, everything is negotiable."
Wang Qiao didn't dare to underestimate the man in front of her. She nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will tell WD about the situation."
Throughout, Chuanliu's gaze towards the man was extremely complex.
After Wang Qiao and Liu Xingxing finished their conversation, the girl slowly spoke, "Sister Qiao, now that I've found the 'Joker' for you, can I leave now?"
"Of course, thank you for your hard work today." Wang Qiao turned to look at the girl standing behind her, then turned back to her.
Looking at the woman sitting with her back to her, the girl frowned slightly. "Sister Qiao, you know that's not what I meant."
When she said "leave," she meant leaving Paradise Island.
Chuanliu heard Wang Qiao chuckle softly, and her gentle voice came again, "Chuanliu, we are both smart people. Do you really need me to spell things out for you?"
A cold glint flashed in the girl's eyes. "Sister Qiao, I think we should be clear about this. You promised me that once you found 'The Joker,' you would continue to fulfill your agreement with me through the interests of the Party. You're not thinking of going back on your word now, are you?"
Wang Qiao fiddled with her curly hair. "Chuanliu, I think you're perfect for this place, perfect for Paradise Island. Why don't you stay with me on Paradise Island and continue our mission?"
The girl's pupils dilated, and she quickly ran in front of her. "Wang Qiao! You've gone back on your word! Aren't you afraid I'll tell the interest-driven faction about your Reconstruction Faction?"
Wang Qiao had already guessed that Chuanliu would say that, but she remained calm and said, "Okay, go ahead and tell them. It'll be good for them to know who stabbed Wu Lide in the back."
"you……"
The girl was speechless, her eyes reddening.
She took a few deep breaths, as if trying to calm herself down, then sneered and took a few steps back. "You never intended for me to leave from the beginning, did you?"
Wang Qiao nodded matter-of-factly, but with a hint of sincerity in her eyes, "That's right, but I really admire you, Chuanliu. If you stay on Paradise Island, you'll have everything you want from now on. You have 'Cube,' 'Club,' and the WD Reconstruction Faction supporting you. Isn't that great?"
The girl lowered her eyes, seemingly deep in thought, and after a short while said, "...Alright, but I want the entire City of Cubes. I want to be 'Cube A,' the queen of the City of Cubes!"
