When Bobby saw this scene, his entire face changed dramatically.

But Bobby was a smart guy. The moment his expression stiffened, he immediately snapped back to his senses, turned his head, and cursed, "What the hell did you guys do behind my back?!"

Among Bobby's subordinates, there were also smart people. Hearing Bobby's outburst, they instantly knew someone had to take the fall.

A lackey immediately jumped out, knelt on the ground, knocked his head on the floor several times, and shouted loudly, "Bobby brother, it was my fault! My mind was clouded by greed! He gave me money to help him hide among our goods. I knew he was a wanted criminal, but he gave me too much money! Bobby brother, all the blame lies with me!"

Seeing his lackey being so tactful, Bobby's eyes lit up. He immediately went forward and kicked the lackey's shoulder, cursing, "Damn, I'm just doing some legitimate business, and you bastards are screwing me over behind my back. Screw you all!"

Seeing Bobby and his lackey in such harmony, the corners of Luo Qingtian's mouth inadvertently curled into a cold smile.

"Keep acting, huh? Keep going."

Bobby turned around and snapped, "Keep acting, my ass!

Didn't you hear this idiot admit it? It's all his doing!

Damn, every time I try to do legitimate business, I get screwed!"

Bobby lit a cigarette irritably, took a deep drag.

Luo Qingtian couldn't care less how Bobby acted, snorted coldly, and said, "Bring everyone back with me for rigorous interrogation!"

Faced with the black muzzles, Bobby had no options.

He could only be detained and taken away by Luo Qingtian's men.

Zhou Shaoyang's face looked as if he'd swallowed a fly; he also had no options against the black muzzles.

Zhou Shaoyang couldn't describe what he was feeling, only cursing his bad luck.

A feeling of unease surged in his heart.

Falling into these guys' hands, he was bound to suffer.

...

When Chen Che received the news, he immediately rushed to the Anti-Smuggling Division located at the Finance Bureau.

Rescue Zhou Shaoyang?

He naturally couldn't rescue Zhou Shaoyang in such a short time.

But getting Bobby out wasn't difficult for Chen Che.

When Chen Che personally came to pick up people, he also saw Luo Qingtian. Luo Qingtian was sitting behind a desk, a smug smile on his face.

But Chen Che merely focused his gaze on Luo Qingtian for a moment before turning it to Qin Qingyan behind him.

This aloof female doctor was wearing a cheongsam, accentuating her perfect figure. The moment she saw Chen Che enter, her eyes lingered on him, a hint of infatuation in her gaze.

But it only lasted a moment before she returned to her previous aloofness, keeping everyone at a distance of a thousand miles. She poured two pots of hot tea with a cold face.

Chen Che sat in front of the desk with a cold face and said, "Director Luo, can my people be released?"

"Isn't everything already clear? It was my subordinate's doing, unrelated to my people. If you want to investigate, feel free, but why detain unrelated individuals?"

Luo Qingtian's eyes flashed with a gleam as he chuckled, "Since Master Chen personally came for them, it seems Master Chen values people a lot. However, I wonder which person Master Chen has come for?"

"Who else? Naturally, Bobby, my subordinate."

"Oh, so it's Bobby. I thought Master Chen came to claim... that wanted criminal."

Chen Che's expression changed sharply, his face twitching slightly. This change was captured precisely by Luo Qingtian, who was internally overjoyed.

Indeed, this Chen Che is involved with the Apocalypse Society, otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted so strongly upon hearing about Zhou Shaoyang.

Chen Che said with a cold face, "What does the wanted criminal have to do with me? Since Director Luo caught this big fish, enjoy the credit. I'm just here to take my man.

According to the Ninth Special Zone's laws, Bobby's case is eligible for bail. Director Luo, we'll meet again."

After saying this, Chen Che snorted coldly and turned to leave the Anti-Smuggling Division.

Bobby was naturally taken away as well, and frankly, Luo Qingtian couldn't find any hard excuse to forcibly detain Bobby.

As it stands, the conflict between him and Chen Che hasn't reached a white-hot stage yet.

If it turned into a no-holds-barred fight, they might turn the entire Ninth Special Zone upside down.

However, Luo Qingtian wasn't worried, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, he chuckled, "Let's see how long you can be proud."

For Luo Qingtian, he had already grasped Chen Che's Achilles' heel.

The intelligence was accurate, there were definitely secret ties between Chen Che and the Apocalypse Society.

As long as he could get Zhou Shaoyang to speak, to testify against Chen Che, to testify to his connection with the Apocalypse Society.

Once the news got out, there would be no place for Chen Che in the entire Ninth Special Zone.

After all, everyone in the Ninth Special Zone knew what kind of cult the Apocalypse Society was.

He didn't believe Chen Che could overturn the sky.

He casually took a sip of the tea Qin Qingyan had poured and then got up to leave.

Zhou Shaoyang was too stubborn; he needed to go to the dungeon to see just how tough this guy was!

He couldn't wait to trample the underground king of the Upper City District, Master Chen, underfoot!

After Luo Qingtian left, Qin Qingyan finally dropped all her defenses and, as if guided by a mysterious force, took the cup from which Chen Che had drunk.

Seeing a lipstick mark on top, couldn't help but press my lips against it and downed the tea in the cup...

In my eyes, there was nothing but obsession.

Legs gently rubbing together.

Biting the lower lip, a face full of spring desires, where was the former cold arrogance?

Perhaps Luo Qingtian had never seen this woman in such a state in his life.

He might not have even imagined that the clearly indifferent Qin Qingyan would show such an expression.

...

Outside the counter-smuggling division.

Bobby, who got into the car with Chen Che, opened his mouth and said, "Master Chen, I..."

Chen Che waved his hand, saying indifferently, "Drive, to the Peruvian slums."

Bobby nodded, said no more, and stepped on the gas, driving away.

...

The dungeon.

Bound on a cross execution rack, Zhou Shaoyang was a bloody mess, his clothes whipped to shreds.

The wounds oozed copious blood, staining his entire garment red.

The air was filled with the scent of charred roasted meat.

The branding iron was tossed back into the furnace.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Luo Qingtian in leather shoes and a suit entered the dungeon.

The one responsible for interrogating Zhou Shaoyang was Song Xuejian, who had an unclear relationship with Luo Qingtian.

From Zhou Shaoyang's miserable state, one could see how ruthless Song Xuejian was.

Watching Luo Qingtian approach, Song Xuejian shook her head and said, "Our High Priest Zhou has an unusually stiff mouth."

Luo Qingtian chuckled, standing before Zhou Shaoyang, shaking his head at the sight of the scars all over Zhou's body, "High Priest Zhou, why are you being so stubborn? Just tell us what we want to know."

The tortured Zhou Shaoyang lifted his head, spat a mouthful of bloody froth on Luo Qingtian's face, grinning sinisterly, cursing, "Screw you, a bunch of sinners dare to treat me, a follower of the Master of Revelation, like this!

The Master of Revelation will remember my sacrifice and make you pay a terrible price!"

Spat with bloody froth, Luo Qingtian's expression became unpleasant, sneering coldly, "High Priest Zhou, I won't beat around the bush anymore, you can forget about getting out, but I can make your life a bit easier.

You just need to do one thing."

Zhou Shaoyang squinted, remembering he didn't know Luo Qingtian, what did this person want?

What could there be between the two of them to cooperate on?

Only hearing Luo Qingtian lower his voice to ask, "You and the Apocalypse Society have an unusual relationship with Chen Che, don't you?"

With these words, Zhou Shaoyang suddenly raised his head.

From Zhou Shaoyang's reaction, Luo Qingtian confirmed his suspicion was correct, his face filled with excitement, gripping Zhou Shaoyang's shoulders, speaking fervently, "High Priest Zhou, I just need you to do one thing, you only need to acknowledge this and testify to your relationship with Chen Che.

I can assure you won't die, nor suffer this kind of pain anymore!

How about it?"

At this moment, Zhou Shaoyang couldn't help but smile, he understood.

So this person was Chen Che's political enemy, wanting to use his hand to deal with Chen Che.

Zhou Shaoyang finally understood the situation, but faced with Luo Qingtian's words, he responded by spitting another bloody froth on Luo Qingtian's face, "Screw you!"

Zhou Shaoyang gritted his teeth, smiling bloodily.

Zhou Shaoyang wasn't stupid, Chen Che was still useful to him, Arabic was still outside, knowing he was captured, Arabic would blackmail Chen Che, trying every way to rescue him.

At least for now, Chen Che was on their side with high rank and identity, finding a way to save him was highly probable.

As long as Chen Che was alive, his identity not exposed, there was a high probability he could use Chen Che's identity to be rescued.

Conversely, the present Luo Qingtian was entirely unfamiliar.

Faced with a familiar Chen Che holding leverage, and a completely unfamiliar Luo Qingtian, even a fool should know how to choose.

Zhou Shaoyang naturally wouldn't foolishly hand his lifeline to Luo Qingtian.

Spat with another bloody froth, Luo Qingtian was extremely angry, grabbing a branding iron from the furnace beside, and stabbed it fiercely into Zhou Shaoyang's abdomen.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

A strong smell of burnt meat accompanied by Zhou Shaoyang's agonizing screams, echoed in the dungeon.

Until the temperature of the branding iron dropped, Luo Qingtian tossed it back into the furnace, tugging at his collar, speaking coldly, "Continue, until our High Priest Zhou is willing to cooperate!"

"High Priest Zhou, stiff mouth won't help, I studied psychology. The change in your eyes with Master Chen, I saw it clearly, he definitely has an unusual relationship with your Apocalypse Society; I want to see how long you can hold on!"

"I know you're waiting for him to rescue you, but I tell you, it won't happen. If you don't cooperate with me, you'll leave here dead!"

Zhou Shaoyang just stared at Luo Qingtian with an extremely cold gaze.
