Even An Nishang couldn't help but twitch her mouth upon seeing the scene under the table.

Seated opposite Chen Che.

Besides Luo Qingtian, there was only Qin Qingyan.

It wasn't possible for Luo Qingtian to openly plot against Chen Che yet secretly wear high heels and flirt with Chen Che under the table, right?

Just think about it for a second, and you'd know who the shoes belonged to.

On the surface, the atmosphere was tense, but behind the scenes, there's flirtation and entanglement.

An Nishang realized that Chen Che wasn't just an ordinary player.

This guy really knew how to play.

With the stage set for tension between the two men, Qin Qingyan suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."

Luo Qingtian didn't care about Qin Qingyan but kept his eyes locked on Chen Che, a glint of fervor flashing on his face.

Bringing Chen Che down was the ultimate proof of his capabilities.

If he could deal with Chen Che, whom no one else in the Ninth Special Zone could handle, his prestige would naturally surpass Chen Che's.

He had already woven a grand drama and set the stage, afraid Chen Che wouldn't come. If Chen Che didn't show, his stage would be for nothing.

Chen Che glanced at Luo Qingtian, stood up as well, tugged at his collar, and sneered, "I'm curious to see what you have tomorrow to prove I'm involved with that so-called cult! Humph!"

After saying this, Chen Che whispered softly into An Nishang's ear, "Nishang, I'm going to the restroom..."

Luo Qingtian heard this, but he didn't hear what Chen Che said next.

"He's really annoying, Nishang, I'm going to retaliate... will you help stall him?"

An Nishang's red lips curled into a smile, tapping Chen Che's calf with her thigh, whispering into his ear, "You really play dirty."

"Who knew he'd be disgusting? Don't blame me for retaliating dirty. I don't mind being Boss Cao again..."

"Leave me enough of what I want, if I don't get enough, ha..."

"Don't worry, Nishang, there are plenty of bullets."

After finishing their whispered conversation, Chen Che withdrew and left.

Watching Chen Che leave, a gleam flashed in Luo Qingtian's eyes, the annoying fly finally gone. He breathed out, looked at An Nishang, and tried to charm her again.

The woman before him was too beautiful.

Everything about her, her looks, figure, skin, was incredibly attractive to men.

The aura she carried was something no other woman possessed, enough to evoke a strong desire for conquest in men.

For Luo Qingtian, getting An Nishang through various means and making her submit to him was his greatest wish.

Unfortunately, only Chen Che achieved this feat.

Only Chen Che knew that someone like An Nishang, if you truly wanted her to submit, it had to be her own desire.

Otherwise, neither psychological nor physiological torments could break this woman.

Luo Qingtian babbled on, but An Nishang merely responded with a faint smile. Luo Qingtian couldn't tell if it was a hallucination, but he saw ridicule, mockery, and even a hint of pity in An Nishang's gaze...

This left Luo Qingtian somewhat puzzled.

He couldn't quite understand the origin of An Nishang's expression.

...

The restroom.

When Chen Che caught up with Qin Qingyan near the restroom.

Upon arriving, he saw Qin Qingyan waiting for him at the restroom door.

Chen Che's lips curled in a wicked smile, not having had the chance to lighten the atmosphere, as Qin Qingyan impatiently approached, her high heels striking the ground with a clicking sound.

The woman quickly reached Chen Che's side, wrapped her arms around his neck, proactively kissing his lips smeared with lipstick.

A scent infused Chen Che's mouth.

There was the taste of lipstick, of the woman's mouth.

Chen Che glanced back at the corridor, forcibly pinched Qin Qingyan's chin, separating her lips from his, teasing her with his eyes, "During the entire banquet, I saw quite a few people greet you; I didn't realize your fame as Dr. Qin in the Ninth Special Zone was this big.

Seems like Dr. Qin truly has some capabilities.

Dr. Qin, you're quite daring, aren't you?

What if someone walked by and discovered us?

I wouldn't care, but your reputation as Dr. Qin might not withstand it, right?

Luo Qingtian would probably be livid, too?"

"Aren't you eager for that to happen?"

Pinched by the chin, Qin Qingyan's gaze burned into Chen Che, a flash of fervor in her eyes. She bit her lower lip, her cold arrogance giving way to a seductive allure.

Qin Qingyan broke free from Chen Che's grip, wrapped her arms around his neck, her snow-white, slender legs locking onto Chen Che's waist, hanging in mid-air on him, fixing her eyes on him and said, "You ruined me."

"Hey hey hey, that's too much, how did I ruin you?"

"Haven't you heard the saying? A blind person endures the darkness because they've never seen the light.

But if a person who has seen the light suddenly becomes blind, they grow desperate, filled with fear and anger.

Why did you make me go through that month?

Why did you let me know that men and women can have completely different emotions for each other?

Why did you have to show me that men and women can truly exchange bodies and the innermost desires, achieving a unique resonance?

You ruined me. You made me think about this resonance every day.

When I close my eyes, your shadow appears in my mind. I even dream of you.

Do you know? When I'm lying next to Luo Qingtian, I'm really afraid of calling out your name by mistake."

"Chen Che, you ruined me. You really ruined me. Why did you let me experience such beauty?"

Qin Qingyan's eyes showed a hint of obsession, staring intently at Chen Che.

Chen Che's tone suddenly became gentle. He brushed aside the hair on Qin Qingyan's pretty face and softly said, "It's not me who ruined you, you just met the wrong person, unable to let you experience the so-called resonance."

"Do you need it now?"

"I need it." Without a hint of hesitation, Qin Qingyan replied without reservation.

Since leaving the small villa, Qin Qingyan hasn't felt that kind of resonance again.

This made Qin Qingyan almost collapse.

Until seeing Chen Che again, Qin Qingyan could no longer hold back.

Chen Che kicked open the door to the men's restroom, hugged Qin Qingyan and went inside, entering a small stall. Suddenly thinking of something, he couldn't help but curve his lips and said, "Didn't Luo Qingtian come? Why can't he make you reach the desired resonance?"

Qin Qingyan's lips formed a mocking smile, "During the time we've been talking, he's already tired and asleep."

"Ha? Then you've lived quite a miserable life these past few decades."

"Haha, who says not?"

"Come down and help me lick it first."

"Okay."

Qin Qingyan agreed without a moment of hesitation.

…

Finance Bureau, deep in the dungeon of the Inspection Division.

Zhou Shaoyang was tied to a cross, the wounds on his body constantly emitting a burning pain.

Zhou Shaoyang gritted his teeth. He had never suffered such a disaster since birth.

He blamed everything on Chen Che and that damned Luo Qingtian.

Luo Qingtian tortured him, and Chen Che was incompetent.

It sounded nice, Master Chen of the Upper City District in the Ninth Special Zone.

Even something as simple as sending him out couldn't be done, what a pathetic Master Chen!

Clearly he's just a useless waste!

Zhou Shaoyang's lips trembled, not knowing if he could continue to hold on.

Luo Qingtian's demand was simple—accuse Chen Che, accuse Chen Che of also being part of the Apocalypse Society.

Luo Qingtian had said that as long as he did this, they would stop torturing him.

Of course, Zhou Shaoyang wouldn't foolishly believe him.

Compared to Luo Qingtian, he was more inclined to trust Chen Che.

But the ongoing physical torture had exhausted Zhou Shaoyang's body and mind to the extreme, making it impossible to continue holding out.

That bastard Chen Che, after all this time, had yet to think of a way to save him. He's beginning to doubt if that bastard even wants to save him, or if he's just waiting to watch him die in this damned dungeon.

Zhou Shaoyang realized he couldn't place his entire trust in Chen Che; he had made up his mind.

If... If after another day passes and Chen Che still hasn't thought of a way to rescue him, he'll have no choice but to give up Chen Che's identity.

Otherwise, he's truly afraid that Luo Qingtian might kill him.

After such a long time and Chen Che not rescuing him, it indicates that Chen Che has no intention of saving him.

Then why should he continue to hold on?

Just as this thought kept surfacing in Zhou Shaoyang's mind, someone suddenly opened the dungeon door. Zhou Shaoyang looked up, a flicker of fear in his eyes, but saw a figure pressing a finger against seductive lips, saying, "I'm here on someone else's behalf. Look, he gave me this pill, saying it's developed by your Apocalypse Society. Keep this pill in your mouth, and swallow it at a critical moment.

You will then enter a state of pseudo-death.

Once in this state, you can leave the dungeon undetected. Your Apocalypse Society people will meet you outside...

That's all I've got to say. Understand it yourself."

The figure pinched Zhou Shaoyang's mouth, shoved the pill inside, left a bewildered and shocked Zhou Shaoyang, and turned to leave the dungeon, locking the door again.

At this moment, an incomprehensible fear surged within Zhou Shaoyang's heart.

A fear of Chen Che.

Could all of this be part of this guy's plan? Just how deep has he infiltrated? What kind of connections and power does he hold?

Damn it... Zhou Shaoyang had already made up his mind; once he got out, he must eliminate this unstable factor of Chen Che.

By any means necessary!

Otherwise, Zhou Shaoyang feared the day when either the Church would wield Chen Che like a knife, or this knife would carve them open, seize their nerves and organs, and turn around to control the Church!!!

This man is terrifying.

Absolutely terrifying.

Zhou Shaoyang felt a terror deep in his heart. He had never been so frightened of anyone!
