Chuanliu's eyes trembled, but that subtle emotion vanished in the blink of an eye, impossible to grasp.
She took a soft breath, leaned back naturally in her chair, and folded her hands together.
Unless there is substantial evidence, no one on Bliss Island would dare to utter such probing words.
So, Chuanliu frankly admitted, "So, Sister Qiao asked me to come here for this matter?"
“Of course not.” Wang Qiao put the water glass she had drunk from back in front of Chuan Liu. “As a high-ranking member of the Cube City, you openly infiltrated our Plum Blossom territory. If you were to say that you had ulterior motives, I think that would be quite reasonable.”
Chuanliu didn't care about Qiaojie's threat, because she knew that if it was really because of this, she was now facing not just Wang Qiao, but the entire Plum Blossom leadership.
She shrugged and said, "Why can't you say that I've abandoned darkness for light and returned to righteousness?"
Wang Qiaojiao chuckled twice, her body trembling slightly with her laughter. "You really can't argue with people from Fangkuai. You, Zhou Zheng, Qian Chuan, each one of you is quick-witted."
Chuanliu touched his nose again, his mind still racing with thoughts of why Wang Qiao had found him alone.
After the laughter subsided, Wang Qiao continued, "Speaking of your boss Zhou, I heard some gossip about you a while ago."
Chuanliu immediately thought of the night she hid at Zhou Zheng's house, but on the surface he still pretended to be unaware and said, "I didn't expect Sister Qiao to like gossip too, but... Zhou's gossip... I've never heard of it?"
Wang Qiao didn't beat around the bush, but said with great interest, "I heard that you and Zhou Zheng are together, and he even sent someone to take you home from his mansion in the middle of the night? How sweet."
As expected, the news reached Wang Qiao's ears.
If Chuanliu had previously planned to cooperate with Plum Blossom City, then the rumors of her being with Zhou Zheng would naturally form a barrier, keeping potential collaborators out.
From the moment the gossip started circulating, she was probably automatically categorized as part of Zhou Zheng's camp in everyone's eyes.
If Wang Qiao hadn't taken the initiative to ask her today, she wouldn't even have had the chance to hold a "press conference" to clarify the rumors.
You old fox, so you were waiting for me here all along...
Chuanliu thought bitterly.
Chuanliu realized that Wang Qiao was testing her relationship with Zhou Zheng, which might mean she wanted to cooperate with him.
This was exactly what Chuanliu wanted.
So she said directly, "I have nothing to do with Zhou Zheng. In fact, I just discovered recently that he has been sending people to follow me. I think he probably feels that my existence is a threat to him?"
The girl's eyes held a wary hatred, as if she were Zhou Zheng's mortal enemy.
Wang Qiao did not refute the girl's words. She could sense that the girl's emotions were half true and half false, but she was probably not lying in general.
After a moment's thought, the woman, just as Chuanliu had predicted, extended an olive branch to her.
"So, are you interested in collaborating with me?"
"Cooperate with you? Or cooperate with Plum Blossom City?" Chuanliu asked.
Wang Qiao tossed her hair, unconcerned. "Isn't it the same?"
"Of course they're different."
Chuanliu's gaze deepened. "I need to know... whether my enemies include Boss Wu..."
By cooperating with Plum Blossom City, they can deal with the other three cities and the Wuwang District.
It's uncertain who they'll be targeting if they collaborate with Wang Qiao.
Wang Qiao tapped her index finger on the table, then her fingernail scratched the surface and gently traced a line down to the very end of the table, producing a chilling sound.
"I."
Wang Qiao spoke with a smile.
Work with me.
Chuanliu raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
It seems that the city of plum blossoms isn't as "united" as the rumors suggest.
At this point, Chuanliu's long-standing question about Wang Qiao's identity was answered.
The girl lowered her eyes, tapped her fingers on the cup, and said slowly and deliberately, "I never expected that Sister Qiao and Boss Wu, both informants for the WD Investigation Bureau, would need the help of outsiders."
She had previously suspected Wang Qiao's relationship with the WD Investigation Bureau, but news about Wu Lide first caught her attention, making her focus on Wu Lide's cooperation with the WD Investigation Bureau.
It wasn't until Wang Qiao revealed that Chuanliu was a member of WD that Chuanliu's thoughts were brought back to the present.
Based on previous speculations and Wang Qiao's current behavior, the conclusion that Wang Qiao is also a member of WD has emerged.
Wang Qiao looked at Chuan Liu with a hint of appreciation in her eyes. She stared at Chuan Liu's face for a long time, and then suddenly covered her lips and laughed.
"Hahaha, you truly deserve to be the one we chose from thousands of people. You certainly didn't disappoint me."
Chuanliu watched her quietly.
"However... you're wrong about one thing."
The latter smiled, leaned back, crossed his arms, and continued, "I'm not like that profit-driven old dog Wu Lide. I pursue a much greater goal!"
The woman's tone carried a hint of obsession and madness.
Chuanliu was stunned by the woman's eloquent speech. She had never imagined that the woman who seemed to be a heartthrob, whom she had met several times before, would have such a true face.
"So, are you willing to cooperate with me?" Wang Qiao turned her gaze to her.
Chuanliu said, "Cooperation isn't impossible, but I need to know what your trump card is. After all, Wu Lide is the boss of Plum City, and you and I both know there's an insurmountable gap between 'A' and 'K'."
“Little sister, you said it was your trump card, so I need to be sure you’re my ally before I can tell you…” Wang Qiao didn’t answer her question directly.
Chuanliu hadn't expected her to talk, so he changed to a less private question: "Then you at least have to tell me, who are your people in Plum Blossom City? Hou Yifan? Or Li Quanyou?"
Wang Qiao gently shook her head, as if denying it, but also as if affirming it. "Them? Hmph, they were sent by Wu Lide to monitor me. That old dog is wary of me, worried that I will 'rebel,' and wants to plant his spies around me."
However... I'm very charming, and now they are definitely mine.
I can also tell you that besides you, me, and Wu Lide, WD has no other contacts on this island, so you understand why I want to cooperate with you, right?
"So..." Chuanliu stared into Wang Qiao's alluring eyes and asked, "What result do you want to achieve?"
Wang Qiao licked her lips and said excitedly, "Let's find 'Joker' together, get 'Joker's' weapons, and then... destroy this place!"
