The latter's expression froze on the spot, staring at Li Chonglou with unconcealed unwillingness, then collapsing powerlessly.
Li Chonglou immediately let go and stepped aside, his expression solemn.
Su Qi and Tian You exchanged a look, a triumphant smile appearing on their lips, though it quickly vanished.
Su Qi quickly stepped forward, patting Li Chonglou on the shoulder. "Don't worry, we won't spread this. We didn't see anything."
Li Chonglou's face changed instantly. He quickly said, "Two seniors, you must keep this a secret! If my master finds out, I won't be able to stay at the General Bureau!"
Tian You suddenly walked over and said, "Brother Lou, we can help you keep it quiet, but what if someone from the General Bureau comes to investigate..."
Li Chonglou was stunned, murmuring, "They shouldn't, should they? Even if they do, there's no evidence, right?"
"Heh, Brother Lou, you're a bit too naive. You haven't seen the methods of the General Bureau yet. Besides, there's one more thing we need to make clear to you beforehand."
"What?"
The two exchanged a look, and finally, Su Qi spoke. "It's like this, Brother Lou. We can guarantee not to expose this matter voluntarily, but if someone from the General Bureau finds us and questions us, then it's hard to say."
Li Chonglou shot up, flustered. "What do you mean, two seniors? Didn't you just agree to help me conceal it together!"
Both of them shook their heads.
"Brother Lou, we don't want this kind of thing to happen, but you don't understand the methods of the General Bureau. Once they really come after us, meaning they've started to suspect, if we lie at such a time, we'll be risking the future of three people."
"Not just our futures, perhaps even we'll be blacklisted."
Li Chonglou's face turned extremely grim.
"You're the ones who told me to kill him just now!"
The two coughed lightly. "We were just saying it casually. We couldn't help you in that situation back then. The safest way for you was to strike first."
It was obvious that both of them were trying hard to shirk their responsibility, their attitude completely different from a minute ago.
At this point, even a fool would know they had been set up. Li Chonglou stopped talking, his face pale, and he walked to the side to sit down, covering his head.
The two exchanged another look. Tian You nodded subtly. Su Qi stepped forward and said softly, "Brother Lou, you shouldn't be so nervous. Like you just said, maybe the General Bureau won't send anyone?"
Li Chonglou suddenly looked up, grinding his teeth. "Now that his entire family is dead, and he has relatives in town, do you think it won't attract the attention of the General Bureau!"
Su Qi was not alarmed, but secretly pleased, though his emotions were so deeply suppressed that they would be missed by anyone not observing closely.
"If that's the case, then there isn't absolutely no way..."
Damn it, they finally got to the point!
Li Chonglou's heart immediately relaxed, but he still asked with surprise, "Is there another way?"
"Senior Su Qi, you must help me this time! Although I thought about leaving the General Bureau, I wanted to leave honorably!"
Upon hearing the words "honorably," Su Qi's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.
"Um, Brother Lou, if you really want to know this method, you have to do as we say now."
Li Chonglou nodded without hesitation. Su Qi then grinned and asked Li Chonglou to bury Qiu Bai's body while filming it with his phone.
"Can I ask why you need to film it?"
Su Qi's expression was solemn. "Brother Lou, at this point, you still don't trust us? If you continue like this, I don't think I can help you anymore!"
Saying that, Su Qi started to walk out. Li Chonglou quickly stopped him and apologized, "It was my fault for speaking out of turn. I'll do as you say, as long as you really have a way!"
"Naturally."
A smile returned to Su Qi's face. Although it was a bit strange to be smiling at a time like this, in the tense atmosphere, no one thought too much about it.
As Su Qi had said, Li Chonglou personally dragged Qiu Bai to the dirt behind the house and buried him.
However, what neither of them noticed was that while moving the body into the pit, Li Chonglou secretly placed a small pill into Qiu Bai's mouth before covering him with soil.
After he finished, Su Qi suddenly burst into laughter, as if the masked man had suddenly taken off his mask.
The得意 in this laughter was unconcealed!
Li Chonglou's brow furrowed immediately, and he said displeasedly, "Senior, I'm so worried right now, and you have the leisure to laugh here?"
Su Qi chuckled, "Brother Lou, our organization has gained another person. Should I be happy?"
"What?"
Li Chonglou looked at Tian You beside him doubtfully, only to find that this fellow had also revealed his true colors.
"Brother Lou, to be honest, besides our identities at the General Bureau, we have another identity."
Li Chonglou's face changed drastically. "What do you mean?"
Su Qi no longer concealed it and stated directly, "Brother Lou, you must have heard of the Divine Envoy organization, right? We are all members of it."
When he said the word "members," Su Qi's face clearly showed a hint of pride.
However, Li Chonglou's expression changed dramatically as if he had heard something shocking.
"You mean that international criminal organization?"
Su Qi chuckled. "Only ignorant people would say that. I believe Brother Lou is not that kind of person."
"Why are you suddenly telling me this? Are you going to kill me?"
Tian You beside him smiled faintly. "Brother Lou, aren't we friends? How could we possibly kill you."
"No! While I don't want to stay at the General Bureau, it doesn't mean I will betray my country!"
Li Chonglou said righteously until Su Qi took out the phone he had used for filming earlier.
"Brother Lou, what do you think would happen if we sent this back to the General Bureau?"
Li Chonglou panicked. "No! Don't send it back!"
"Then listen to us. Joining the Divine Envoys will never make you regret it."
Su Qi confidently put away his phone. Li Chonglou lowered his head as if he had been caught by the vital point.
"Aren't you afraid I'll report you when I get back?"
This question was not an act, but Li Chonglou's genuine confusion.
In fact, from the very beginning, the moment he saw their peculiar martial arts, Li Chonglou had already guessed at their identities.
What he said later to Du Tian was also based on this.
That is to say, Li Chonglou had long anticipated everything they had done! Otherwise, he wouldn't have created such a fallback identity!
However, there was one point he still couldn't figure out: would the body of an ordinary person really make them feel at ease?
