"Only blood can test loyalty."

When Luo Qingtian uttered this sentence, everyone's eyes watching the live broadcast flickered.

The intelligent ones understood what Luo Qingtian meant, and everyone present couldn't help but have twinkling eyes.

Some couldn't help but admire Luo Qingtian for this brilliant move.

Chen Che squinted his eyes slightly, staring at Luo Qingtian and asked, "Director Luo, what do you mean by that?"

Luo Qingtian smiled without saying anything, pulled out a sharp dagger from the table beside him. The dagger was very long, at least half a meter.

The end of the dagger was thin and sharp, glistening with a chilling light, easily capable of piercing through even a cow.

Luo Qingtian placed the dagger's tip near his mouth and gently blew on it, and everyone present seemed to hear the trembling buzz from the dagger's tip due to the vibration.

He then brought the dagger to Chen Che's side, grabbed Chen Che's hand, placed the dagger into it, and pointed towards Zhou Shaoyang beside him, chuckling as he said:

"To be honest with you, Mr. Chen, I've also researched the Apocalypse Society beforehand and discovered how tightly organized it is.

The entire organizational structure of the Apocalypse Society is extraordinarily strict.

Brainwashing is rampant within the organization of the Apocalypse Society.

They believe that everyone carries sin, and sin is the punishment given by the Master of Revelation to everyone. The fewer sins one carries, the higher position they can hold within the Apocalypse Society.

Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, within the hierarchy of the Apocalypse Society, the lower levels can never disobey any orders from the upper levels, never failing to comply in the slightest.

The lower levels can never, at any time, place, or using any identity or means, harm the upper levels.

Once a lower-level person does so, no matter the reason, they will be expelled from the Apocalypse Society.

Because in the whole perspective of the Apocalypse Society, the lowest members are sinners, and as a sinner, you dare to kill someone with fewer sins than you, committing an even greater sin.

So, if Mr. Chen wants to prove that you have nothing to do with the Apocalypse Society, there's a very simple method.

Use the knife in your hand to stab through this yellow-robed priest in front of you, to kill him!

This will completely clear your suspicion, Mr. Chen.

Moreover, Mr. Chen, if you really are a member of the Apocalypse Society, once you use this knife to kill him, it would mean, Mr. Chen, you have no retreat within the Apocalypse Society and would wholeheartedly help the government of the Ninth Special Zone, wouldn't that be even better?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Che, somewhat irate, laughed and said, "Director Luo, you've really disgusted me with this move!

If I kill him, damn it, what if you spread the news and the Apocalypse Society comes after me?

Besides, why should I be the executioner? Why should I actively invite this trouble, you insist on accusing me of being part of the Apocalypse Society, and you don't even have proof to back it up.

Your damn mouth blabbing, and I have to take the fall for it, attract this attention, and stab him, why?"

Chen Che, while saying this with irritation, flung the dagger in his hand aside.

Luo Qingtian, witnessing this scene, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Mr. Chen, could I interpret your current behavior as a guilty conscience? You're not afraid of trouble, you're just unable to do it, aren't you?"

"Bullshit, damn you trying to trap me in your self-proving snare. I'm not that stupid.

Go ahead and kill, you do it, I'll watch from the side."

Luo Qingtian chuckled and said, "If I kill, how can it clear Mr. Chen, the suspicion over you? Mr. Chen, you're just afraid of the Apocalypse Society's revenge, aren't you?

In my view, your political awareness is a bit too low. As a political official of the entire Ninth Special Zone, how can you be afraid of a group of cultists?

If you are indeed afraid, then let me assure you, I can guarantee your safety, as long as Mr. Chen, you use the knife to stab this cultist in front of you. If something happens to you in the upcoming retaliation by the Apocalypse Society, if you die,

I will take responsibility for your death!"

"Mr. Chen, I've spoken to this extent, if you still refuse to act and continue to evade, not only will I see that something's wrong with you, but every congressman watching the live broadcast should be able to notice as well.

Mr. Chen, I hope we haven't misunderstood you."

Luo Qingtian pressed step by step to compress Chen Che's space for survival, aiming to force Chen Che to kill Zhou Shaoyang.

For Luo Qingtian, even if Chen Che insists on not killing Zhou Shaoyang, protected by An Nishang, he can't directly pin a label of the Apocalypse Society on Chen Che.

He could still arouse suspicion among other congressmen.

More concerns about Chen Che's identity would meanwhile allow others to consider using this as a breakthrough point to take action against Chen Che.

If Chen Che killed Zhou Shaoyang, it could indeed cleanse the suspicion of Chen Che related to the Apocalypse Society.

However, Luo Qingtian would spare no effort to publicize this matter. According to the intelligence he gathered, this Zhou Shaoyang weighed significantly within the Apocalypse Society.

As for what specific identity this guy held, Luo Qingtian wasn't particularly aware, nor did he overly care about the identity of a cultist. In his perspective, at most, he was a person with a bit of power and status.

This just happened to be suitable.

This way, it would be convenient for Luo Qingtian to make a move, using the Apocalypse Society to take down Chen Che.

Luo Qingtian had already sensed that, with Chen Che's deeply rooted influence across the entire Ninth Special Zone, combined with An Nishang's protection.

Even if he confiscated all of Chen Che's businesses, he might not necessarily be able to completely sever Chen Che.

The power held by the Director of the Judicial Bureau within the Ninth Special Zone was too significant.

Chen Che helped An Nishang secure the position of director.

Now, it's An Nishang's turn to repay the favor.

Protecting him in return.

In politics, the weaving of power like this is what's feared most.

Especially in the remote, fief-like lands.

The entanglement between a feudal governor and the locals makes it extremely difficult even for a central empire envoy to remove or deal with them.

The eyes of everyone present flickered constantly, all wanting to see what choice Chen Che would make.

Just as Chen Che lowered his eyes, his communicator rang, and seeing the caller, he paused for a moment before choosing to answer the call. On the other end came An Nishang's cool voice: "This is the certificate trap he's woven for you, don't fall into it.

Since he wants to prove you belong to the Apocalypse Society, let him present actual evidence, not this way.

Director Luo.

The people under my command are not to be coerced like this."

With An Nishang stepping in to defuse the situation, everything changed.

This incident, in a roundabout way, sounded an alarm in everyone's minds. No one had expected that Chen Che, a mere pretty boy, would hold such an important place in An Nishang's heart.

In such a situation, An Nishang would personally make a call to resolve the issue.

It was indeed a bit unbelievable.

Many people became more vigilant in their hearts.

Even Luo Qingtian didn't expect it.

This kind of situation is what is feared the most.

If the people backing Chen Che didn't want to protect him so openly in front of so many people, if he didn't have such a powerful force behind him in the form of An Nishang.

Luo Qingtian could have easily pressured Chen Che into his trap.

But now.

The situation has become somewhat complex.

Logically, after Chen Che answered the call, all he needed to do was follow the steps An Nishang provided, stick to her protection, and keep a low profile for a while, leaving Luo Qingtian helpless.

Luo Qingtian couldn't understand why An Nishang didn't suspect the truthfulness of what he had said?

If Chen Che was indeed a follower of the Apocalypse Society, wouldn't An Nishang herself, lying in bed with Chen Che every day, be the biggest traitor next to herself?

Everything about An Nishang would probably be reported to the Apocalypse Society.

All the details about An Nishang, what photos she has, her favorite positions, the Apocalypse Society would likely know it all.

He truly couldn't understand why An Nishang would make such a call.

Because by any means, after witnessing today's scene, as a meticulous woman like An Nishang, how could she not have doubts about Chen Che?

What kind of actions did Chen Che take to earn such trust from An Nishang?

This truly surprised Luo Qingtian and made him uncertain.

This was also the thought that many people watching the live broadcast had, unable to comprehend.

In the assembly, many eyes were fixed on An Nishang's face.

Was this pretty boy's skill so extraordinary that it could make this dignified director, this queen, unable to do without him?

In the assembly, making a call to protect Chen Che in front of so many people.

Among the crowd, only the Deputy Director of the Finance Bureau, Guan Ning, with slender legs wrapped in leather pants, noticed something unusual, her eyes flickering with thought.

Guan Ning guessed a bold possibility.

If this possibility were true, a flash of astonishment crossed Guan Ning's mind... he didn't know whether to say An Nishang was terrifying or Chen Che was, or if the combination of two terrifying people was preparing to create a sensational event.

The connection between these two... definitely exceeded ordinary physical bounds.

It definitely couldn't be the relationship of a sugar mama and a pretty boy, there had to be a deeper connection!

But Chen Che made a move no one expected, Chen Che smiled and said to An Nishang: "Nishang, I was indeed quite angry just now. After all, our Director Luo seems a bit brainless, setting up such an obvious self-incrimination trap and forcing me to jump in, anger is only natural."

Hearing this, Luo Qingtian's nose almost got twisted in anger.

Chen Che's next words left Luo Qingtian somewhat confused: "But you know, I think sometimes it's important to clear your name too.

Even though this was a malicious self-incrimination trap devised by Director Luo.

But I don't want you troubled, nor do I want others to misunderstand.

So.

I think... washing away injustice with blood, as long as it's not my blood."
