"Useless!"

Luo Qingtian held a charming woman in his arms, but this woman was not Qin Qingyan.

The woman's allure was evident, with deep eyeliner caressing her eyes, and her brows curved, constantly exuding a captivating charm.

A few of Luo Qingtian's subordinates knelt below.

Hearing Luo Qingtian's insults, they dared not speak, lowering their heads, saying nothing.

"Five days, it's been five days, yet not a single progress has been made. What are you doing?"

It's been damn near a month. I've given you so much intelligence resources, yet you still can't catch the Wildfire Gang's handle. Why am I keeping you around?"

Luo Qingtian was getting heated.

As the saying goes, a new official lights three bonfires, and as the director of the Judicial Bureau, Luo Qingtian was eager to make some accomplishments.

The Wildfire Gang was Luo Qingtian's best target. Upon understanding the massive backing of the Wildfire Gang, Luo Qingtian knew that as long as he took them down, he could achieve a significant political achievement.

Even if he failed to complete the Night Empire Headquarters' plan to plunge the entire Ninth Special Zone into chaos, it was still enough for him to return and claim some credit.

In Luo Qingtian's expectation, handling a small Wildfire Gang as a government official was not supposed to be a challenge.

But he hadn't anticipated the Wildfire Gang's deeply rooted power and its connections with many government officials.

Though he had confiscated a lot of the Wildfire Gang's goods, he couldn't obtain crucial evidence, mainly unable to prove any involvement with Chen Che behind it all.

Especially after learning about the extraordinary relationship between Chen Che and An Nishang, the entire Judicial Bureau was Chen Che's backing.

Handling it became even more difficult; all sorts of obtained evidence would inexplicably disappear.

This greatly enraged Luo Qingtian.

According to his original plan, within half a month, he could have captured Chen Che and uprooted the gang behind him.

After all, in the eyes of these government officials, those menacing gangs were merely tools for extracting political achievements.

When they didn't need achievements, they'd let these gangs grow into fat pigs, and when needed, they'd slaughter them for a feast.

But who could have predicted things would turn out this way?

Faced with Luo Qingtian's furious outburst, the few subordinates remained silent with their heads down, while the woman beside him gently cupped Luo Qingtian's face and said, "Ah Tian, don't blame them. The entire Ninth Special Zone is entangled, all parties' forces have interest chains.

The whole law enforcement Judicial Bureau acts as Chen Che's backing; the subordinates have tried their best, you can't blame them. If blame is to be placed, it's simply because our Master Chen is too skilled."

"Ah Tian, I say we don't necessarily have to follow the smuggling line to find his evidence; it's too difficult. In fact, we could think outside the box."

"Xuejian, what do you have in mind?"

Song Xuejian, the name of the woman in Luo Qingtian's arms.

Luo Qingtian's confidante and also his right-hand woman, responsible for the intelligence system under Luo Qingtian.

A truly capable woman, Song Xuejian managed to set up an intelligence system within the one or two months Luo Qingtian had been in the Ninth Special Zone.

Chen Che's smuggling business being repeatedly intercepted was entirely due to Song Xuejian's intelligence.

The ability of Song Xuejian is evident from this perspective.

Sitting in Luo Qingtian's arms, she giggled and said, "I've found some other things these days. You'll definitely be interested."

"What is it? Quick, tell me, I can't wait any longer!"

Song Xuejian's fingers, painted with bright red nail polish, stroked Luo Qingtian's cheek, flirtatiously and with deep affection, "What reward will you give me?"

Luo Qingtian held Song Xuejian's white hand, looking at this flirtatious and affectionate woman, teasing in front of his subordinates, "Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. I guarantee to satisfy you."

Song Xuejian covered her seductive lips and giggled.

"Considering how hard you worked last night, I'll give you some good news...I've found that our Underground Emperor, Master Chen, seems to have shady dealings with the Apocalypse Society."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingtian's eyes flashed, "Apocalypse Society? How did he get involved with this cult? Is he dealing with this cult, so bold?"

Song Xuejian smiled alluringly, her beautiful face with thick makeup more charmingly vivid, her red lips curved into a soft smile, "There's more. Based on the intelligence I've gathered, our Master Chen... might even be a member of the Apocalypse Society, have joined it!"

Hearing this, Luo Qingtian stood up incredulous, "How can this be? He's An Nishang's man, how could An Nishang let her own join this cult?"

"It might mean that even An Nishang doesn't know about this."

"If it's as you say, him hiding this deeply. Darling, how did you find out?"

"Hehe... my dear, do you not know my capabilities? In intelligence gathering, I, Song Xuejian, am unbeatable. No matter how cautious a person is, they'll always leave some traces, and following these traces, you can always find what you want.

I am sixty percent certain that our Master Chen is indeed with the Apocalypse Society, having done many things for them.

"I am 100% sure, even if this Master Chen isn't with the Apocalypse Society, he's got some extraordinary ties with them!"

Hearing this, Luo Qingtian's eyes twinkled with excitement: "Baby, are you suggesting we can start from this angle?"

"Uh-huh... My people have been tailing this Master Chen, and they've uncovered some incredible secrets.

This Master Chen seems to be planning to smuggle certain people out."

"Certain people meaning?"

"The Yellow-robed Priest of the Apocalypse Society..."

Luo Qingtian's heart started to race, his eyes completely overtaken by excitement.

Song Xuejian leaned on his chest, her fingers tracing circles as she flirtatiously said, "Ah Tian, you just need to act at the crucial moment, grab the evidence, and you can nail this Master Chen for good.

Capturing the Yellow-robed Priest of the Apocalypse Society is a major achievement. Interrogating this Priest can easily bring down that Underground Emperor."

Luo Qingtian instantly grabbed Song Xuejian's face and kissed her fiercely, laughing loudly, "Baby, I love you to death!"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely work harder tonight! I'll make sure you're well satisfied!"

Song Xuejian wore a sultry smile on her face, but deep in her eyes, there was a hint of disdain...

No time to waste, Luo Qingtian immediately ordered his men to set up the arrangement.

...

Eight days had passed since Zhou Shaoyang's ten-day deadline.

Just as Zhou Shaoyang was becoming more impatient, Chen Che's latest information finally arrived.

When Zhou Shaoyang saw Chen Che again, Chen Che visibly looked tired, rubbing his eyes with dark circles on his face.

Zhou Shaoyang frowned and asked, "What's going on with you?"

Chen Che snorted coldly and said, "You think getting you out of here is easy?

That moron Luo Qingtian has been on my ass, feeding on my scraps.

Damn it, all business had to be stopped.

If I activate a smuggling route to get you out, it will definitely catch Luo Qingtian's attention. To ensure your safety, I've had to forcibly restart several smuggling routes, constantly feeding goods to Luo Qingtian, to mislead him into thinking that under his blockade, I was forced to take risks to do business."

Zhou Shaoyang didn't care about any of this, he didn't care what Chen Che had suffered, he said, "So, have you done what I asked you to do?"

"What do you think I've been doing these days?

I've lost millions in goods, diverted his attention.

I've hidden the safest smuggling route again.

This route will take you through Ant Street all the way to Lower City, and from there, get you out of town."

Zhou Shaoyang was shocked and cursed angrily, "Lower City? You want to send me to my death, right? That lunatic Deer Kamon in Lower City is the most sinful person in the entire Ninth Special Zone!

Over 3,000 of our followers have died at his hands. As long as someone believes in the Apocalypse Society, he will not hesitate to kill them! He would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

Do you want me to die by sending me to Lower City?"

Hearing this, Chen Che responded with a hint of sarcasm, "If you're that afraid to die, just stay put here. This place can guarantee your safety. I can only tell you that Deer Kamon in Lower City owes me a huge favor!

If I pass through his territory, he won't care what goods I'm moving.

As long as you aren't stupid enough to show your face in front of him, he won't kill you.

Going through Ant Street into Lower City is the safest route. If you want to die, I can arrange for other routes for you!"

Hearing these words, Zhou Shaoyang fell silent. After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll trust you this time. Let me tell you, if you dare to trick me, if anything happens to me, you won't get away with it either!"

"Hmph." Chen Che rolled his eyes and said, "I can't wait for you to get lost!

But I must warn you in advance, I'm being watched very closely, even this safest route may not be completely safe. If we're stopped, with Luo Qingtian's current power in the entire Ninth Special Zone, you'll find it hard to escape.

My best advice to you is... either don't rely on me and use other methods to leave the Ninth Special Zone, or just stay here quietly and wait for the heat to die down before talking about it.

Leaving now would really be extremely unwise."

Zhou Shaoyang shook his head. If he had other ways to leave, he surely wouldn't be threatening Chen Che; he wasn't 100% sure about Chen Che either.

"Damn, you'd better not get in trouble, or I'll have to figure out a way to save you, damn it."

Chen Che cursed and anxiously lit a cigarette, taking a puff.
