What kind of news spreads the fastest and widest?

Of course, salacious news.

And whose salacious news spreads the fastest and widest?

Of course, that of influential figures...

As the Speaker of Dongye State, Qiu Tu practically lived under the spotlight every moment. His every word and action influenced all facets of Dongye State's affairs.

Take the simplest example. Ever since Xinjie City's Five Elders got close to Qiu Tu and sent Fang Tangtang to his room, they gained Qiu Tu's backing.

Not only did they gradually regain a certain degree of influence in Xinjie City, but they also expanded their business empire to several neighboring cities.

Although they did it cautiously, without blatantly using Qiu Tu's name to intimidate others, all the powerful figures in various cities knew they had some connection to Qiu Tu, so no one dared to make things difficult for them.

Sometimes, not facing obstacles is itself an advantage.

Because of this, their development in the past few months had been exceptionally rapid. Especially after Qiu Tu was promoted from Deputy Speaker to Speaker, they entered the fast lane.

Given how widely the news about Qiu Tu's associates could spread, there was no need to even mention his salacious scandals.

Particularly since Qiu Tu's experiences were incredibly legendary—many rumors circulated that his Cataclysmic ability was related to "women" and "reproduction."

This naturally made people pay even more attention to Qiu Tu's romantic affairs.

From Tang Feifei before, to Rain Butterfly recently, and even Ai Li, who had started making waves in the past two days... they all attracted significant interest.

In this world, there was no such thing as the "moral conduct issues" Qiu Tu had faced in his past life. In times of chaos, everything appeared unvarnished.

Moreover, Qiu Tu intentionally fueled the fire to conceal his Cataclysm Path.

Thus, when it came to women, Qiu Tu was regarded as "universally acclaimed" in Dongye State.

It was precisely this "reputation" that made the ridiculous rumor of "sleeping with the enemy's daughter" believable to most people when it broke out.

Although no one dared to discuss it openly, in private, every department was secretly gossiping.

"Have you heard... After Ai Li, the Bureau Chief, spent all night at the Speaker's house just a few days ago, another woman has fallen to the Speaker."

Another person, upon hearing this, immediately got excited, "I've heard about it, I've heard! I heard it's the daughter of the Speaker's enemy."

"Yeah, I've also heard it's the daughter of the Speaker's enemy. And… apparently, she's even Ai Li's best friend?"

"What! That's way too intense. Ai Li's best friend? The daughter of the Speaker's enemy? This… doesn't the Speaker find this thrilling?"

"By the way, who do you think it is?"

"Who else could it be... I heard that upon learning about this, Chairman Huang was so enraged that he dropped all New State affairs and rushed over directly. It's definitely Miss Xue'er."

"Wow… Miss Xue'er, huh. The Speaker's taste seems incredible…"

Meanwhile, the main character of the scandal, Xue'er, was still unaware that she was caught in the middle of a storm.

However, at that moment, she wasn't doing particularly well either—because she was facing a significant shock.

Perhaps due to being drugged with a love poison last night, fainting from Qiu Tu hitting her, and undergoing detoxification, Xue'er woke up very early that day.

Love poison wouldn't make someone completely lose consciousness, so she vaguely remembered seeing Qiu Tu last night, seeing a few dark figures, and even… Yanyan?

Unable to figure out what had happened, Xue'er rubbed her sore neck in confusion. With a puzzled expression, she left the bedroom, planning to find Yanyan next door to ask whether what she remembered was just a dream or if something had actually happened.

As she reached Yanyan's bedroom door, Xue'er felt something was amiss.

Yanyan's door was usually tightly shut, but today… it was slightly ajar.

'Did something happen to Yanyan?'

Thinking this, Xue'er was startled. She carefully peeked through the crack in the door.

And what she saw was… Yanyan, completely naked, cuddled in the arms of the tall Qiu Tu, sleeping soundly…

The aftermath of their passionate night was obvious, with pieces of torn clothes and underwear scattered on the floor.

Faced with the overwhelming scene in front of her, Xue'er froze in shock, her eyes wide open, rooted to the spot!

At that moment, there was only one thought in her mind:

'Wait a second! Yanyan and Qiu Tu?!'

'How did the two of them get involved?'

'Wasn't Ai Li supposed to be involved with Qiu Tu?'

Thinking this, Xue'er felt her mind go blank.

It took her two or three minutes to finally accept the reality: after one of her best friends had fallen victim to Qiu Tu's advances, another best friend became his next target!

'Damn it! How is everyone becoming his victim?'

For some inexplicable reason, Xue'er felt as if her two best friends, who had been beneath her, had somehow surpassed her.

Especially since… the last time she and Yanyan had gossiped while watching Ai Li get swept up in the drama, she was the one who had said she was interested in Qiu Tu first!

So how did Yanyan get ahead of her?

Thinking about this, Xue'er was so angry that she punched herself "bang, bang!"... twice in the chest.

Unfortunately, the sound of her hitting herself seemed to have startled the two people inside the room.

Inside, Qiu Tu and Yanyan slowly woke up, rubbing their drowsy eyes and glancing around.

Seeing this, Xue'er quickly covered her mouth, hid by the door, and held her breath.

Perhaps still groggy from sleep, the two didn't seem to sense anything unusual and started chatting while hugging each other.

However, after only a few words, they were back at it again.

Initially, Xue'er didn't even dare to breathe, but seeing that the two inside were getting caught up in their passion again, she gradually relaxed.
