Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 285 - 235: Shattering Tan Huimin’s Psychological Defenses (10,000 words to request subscription)_2

And these matters, because they involved the most private secrets of both husband and wife, the most shameful of topics, Tan Huimin had never spoken of them to anyone. Only she herself, and Zheng Tao knew.

Therefore, when Qiu Tu directly confronted her with what she was thinking, laying bare the whole sequence of events, her entire being collapsed.

After all, some of the darkest suspicions in one’s heart, the most private secrets, are actually... even unacceptable to oneself.

And Qiu Tu’s strong-arm approach had almost instantaneously received a corresponding response:

[Tan Huimin loyalty -3, current loyalty 3 points]

Looking at the prompt that appeared in front of him, Qiu Tu smiled slightly but didn’t care in the slightest.

After all, from the day he met Tan Huimin, Qiu Tu knew that although the woman in front of him seemed fragile, in her heart she had her own convictions.

Like an untamed wild horse, not easily conquered.

And this morning, after seeing Shen Lingshuang defeat Tan Huimin, without increasing any loyalty points, Qiu Tu knew that winning over Tan Huimin obviously couldn’t start with "loyalty" or "favorability".

It happened to be that Qiu Tu had no interest in conquering a woman who possibly had been trained by Larilo. So he decisively changed his approach towards Tan Huimin!

Now, his goal was only to conquer, crush, and shatter this woman’s heart, to grasp the connections between this woman, Zheng Tao, and Larilo.

After all... facing intimate colleagues and subordinates, he could conquer them bit by bit, but with enemies, he didn’t have that much patience.

With that in mind, Qiu Tu extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, then continued his psychological onslaught, "Madam, do you often ask yourself in the dead of night, could all this have been caused by you?"

"Perhaps, if you hadn’t pushed Director Zheng so hard, hadn’t made him so tired and worn out, he wouldn’t have become increasingly cold and impatient with you?"

"If you hadn’t stubbornly insisted on being his secretary, perhaps he wouldn’t have sent you my way, effectively cuckold himself?"

Listening to Qiu Tu’s whispers, one after another, Tan Huimin at this point had completely broken down. She covered her ears and wept, saying, "Stop talking, please stop, I beg you! I beg you!"

Seeing this, Qiu Tu knew that the time was right.

He jumped down from the table, then crouched in front of Tan Huimin and gently lifted her tear-stained but still beautiful oval face, suddenly changing the subject, "But Madam... if I told you that none of this is actually your fault, would you believe me?"

Possibly because since the moment he came in, Qiu Tu had been pressing Tan Huimin and continually manipulating her.

Tan Huimin had completely fallen into a state of self-doubt and collapse. Now as Qiu Tu suddenly reversed everything, her whole mind was blank.

"Ah?" she looked up at Qiu Tu with teary eyes, her vision blurred by tears.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped her tear-stained face.

Afterward, he handed it to her to blow her nose.

Giving Tan Huimin this brief respite, Qiu Tu then put his arm around her shoulders, changing his tone to that of an understanding man, and slowly began to speak, "Madam, I think that now you’ve fallen into a self-fulfilling trap."

"You think that you and Director Zheng have reached this point because of your constant pressure, because you cannot bear him a child."

His words were like those of a devil, whispering low, "But you forgot... the starting point of this all is the secret he’s hiding."

Having said that, Qiu Tu helped the still somewhat dazed Tan Huimin stand up, then half-embraced her, speaking softly as he analyzed for her, "If... I say if."

"The reason the two of you can’t have children is actually caused by Director Zheng, then?"

"Wouldn’t you suddenly find that the whole situation seems different?"

Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Tan Huimin paused, clearly not understanding his meaning. So with a sniffle, she said, "But... we’ve had tests, he’s fine."

Qiu Tu chuckled and looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms.

The result might have been because she had just been crying and tearing up, which caused her collar button to come off, revealing to Qiu Tu a profound and enticing cleavage.

That full, round luster compelled immediate attention.

Qiu Tu reached out, taking the opportunity to stroke Tan Huimin’s cheek, and subtly propped it up.

Hmm, weighty and soft, definitely authentic.

Qiu Tu reined in his wandering thoughts and then spoke up, "It’s just that the physical examination doesn’t show any problems. Have you ever considered that the problem might not lie with the body, but with the soul?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Tan Huimin was stunned for a moment, clearly not understanding his meaning at all.

As Qiu Tu’s hand continued to explore the bountiful area in front of Tan Huimin’s chest, he explained, "For instance... he could have made a deal with an Evil God. He, or your fertility, could have been castrated."

After speaking, Qiu Tu stared intently at Tan Huimin’s expression.

And within his gaze, Tan Huimin suddenly gasped, her body trembling involuntarily, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Make a deal with an Evil God? Castrated fertility?"

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, like a devil whispering, "Yes."

"If there is no problem with either of your bodies, then this is the only explanation left, isn’t it?"

"If there’s no issue on the scientific side, then the problem must lie on the mystical side."

Qiu Tu’s idea wasn’t pulled out of thin air.

After discovering the root of the conflict between Tan Huimin and Zheng Tao this morning, Qiu Tu immediately connected it with the "Pregnancy Potion."

He had initially thought that the "Pregnancy Potion" was similar to some modern medicinal hormones, designed to help increase the activity or production of certain cells.

But when he found that Zheng Tao and Tan Huimin were healthy with no physical examination issues, yet had been unable to conceive for many years, he sensed something was off.

So, during breakfast, he specifically discussed this topic with Shen Lingshuang.

It has to be said, Shen Lingshuang really could be considered an encyclopedia, knowledgeable about everything.

According to Shen Lingshuang, the Sanctuary had already researched this issue for many years.

A being living in the real world is actually composed of both body and soul. Therefore, the birth of a being also requires the nurturing of both the body and soul.

Through the Sanctuary’s research, it is generally believed that a living being’s body is formed by the pairing of parents’ genes, while the soul is the result of a spiritual interaction between the parents’ souls.

And what’s more miraculous is... the soul is usually formed before the body.

That is to say, for the birth of a life, the souls of the parents must first spiritually interact to birth a new, frail soul, which is followed by the parents’ genetic material immediately nurturing a fertilized egg to "store" that frail soul and to further develop.

Therefore, if a being’s ability to procreate is castrated from a spiritual or soulful perspective, then even with a completely normal body, they are unable to produce offspring.

After learning such a secret from Shen Lingshuang’s lips, Qiu Tu was truly taken aback, and it also gave him a deeper understanding of the "Pregnancy Potion."

He speculated: Perhaps the primary effect of the "Pregnancy Potion" wasn’t on the body but on the spirit and soul.

It made the souls and spirits of two people more likely to resonate, to give birth to a new soul, and then to have both bodies nurture an "embryo," giving life to a new existence.

Thus, following this train of thought, Qiu Tu also inquired with curiosity why the Sanctuary would research in such a direction.

It was then that he learned an earth-shattering secret from Shen Lingshuang.
