Chapter 954 - 467: The Truth About Shen Lingshuang (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)_3

According to Shen Lingshuang's words, the items were still being produced, and she estimated that the results should be available in two days.

This indeed made Qiu Tu look forward to it.

As such, after chatting casually for about seven or eight minutes, Zhao Ji had yet to signal to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu couldn't help but curiously turn his head to look at Zhao Ji.

What he saw was Zhao Ji with a slight frown, earnestly observing Shen Lingshuang's condition as if something unexpected had happened.

Possibly detecting Qiu Tu's gaze, Zhao Ji came back to her senses and then gestured slightly.

Only then did Qiu Tu offer a few more words of encouragement to Shen Lingshuang before letting her leave first.

After Shen Lingshuang left, Qiu Tu calmly picked up his cup of water, then turned to Zhao Ji and asked, "Your Highness Zhao Ji, do we have a result?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Zhao Ji did not answer immediately.

It seemed as though she thought of something, and then after thinking expressionlessly for a dozen seconds, she cast a stern look at Qiu Tu.

"You knew early on that she was not 'Mountain Root,' didn't you?"

Although Zhao Ji posed it as a question, her tone was utterly affirmative.

Hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and nodded, admitting, "Almost. But I was not 100% sure, just 90% confident."

"But now that I have an answer from you, I can completely relax."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's train of thought and topic were rarely led on...

She inquired, "How did you guess?"

Qiu Tu pointed to his head and then said, "Using my brain."

Qiu Tu lit a cigarette, smoked leisurely, and with a distant look, he said, "Actually.... from the very beginning, I had doubts about Ling Shuang's identity."

"But I didn't suspect that she was 'Mountain Root'; I suspected that she wasn't."

"The reason is simple."

Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then said, "I asked myself, if I discovered a business opportunity, would I announce it with fanfare to everyone? Or would I quietly make a fortune first by myself?"

"I thought about it for a long time and felt.... I would definitely choose the latter."

"And this matter is similar to the 'Muye & Mountain Root' situation."

"If Muye truly discovered that Ling Shuang was Mountain Root, would he publicize it loudly, letting everyone know that Ling Shuang is a treasure, making Dongye State pay attention to Shen Lingshuang, and making countless people covet Shen Lingshuang?"

"Or would he quietly kidnap Ling Shuang without alerting anyone?"

"I think, according to normal logic, he would also choose the latter."

"And when I reasoned this out, everything suddenly became simple."

"Why has Muye been constantly hinting to Dongye State that there is something wrong with Shen Lingshuang?"

"Simple, he is shifting attention and sowing discord."

"He hopes to shift everyone's focus onto Shen Lingshuang and myself, or make the higher-ups in the state suspect each other."

"In doing so, he can have ample time to get the real 'Mountain Root'!"

"For this, he even went as far as Projection Descent, engaging with us three Fourth-order Catastrophe-evolvers."

"The reason he went through all these troubles is all for putting on a show."

"It's just like... his Believer 'Scarface's' Military Art: Building plank roads openly and secretly destroying Chencang!"

After listening to Qiu Tu's analysis, Zhao Ji's expressionless face slightly nodded, rarely agreeing with Qiu Tu's analysis.

However, after her agreement, she casually mentioned, "Your analysis is not wrong."

"'Mountain Root' is not by your side, everything is Muye's smoke and mirrors."

Having said this, she paused, "But.... that girl indeed has issues."

She glanced at Qiu Tu, then said, "Haven't you noticed...she's not a complete person?"

"She... only has one soul and one spirit."

"Or perhaps... she is actually a lost part of someone else's soul...."
