The scene before him left Luo Qingtian bewildered and confounded.

In his hand, he absently held a head, staring blankly at Chen Che outside the car, completely unable to make sense of the situation.

He held Zhou Shaoyang's head, striding towards the car, and threw the head beside Chen Che, loudly asking, "Chen Che, what the hell is going on here?"

With a thud, the head rolled on the ground.

Luo Qingtian glanced around, noticing that the Security Squadron had surrounded him, forming a standoff with his own men.

This made Luo Qingtian even angrier, feeling his hair stand on end in frustration.

These bastards, they don't come when they ought to, and now they burst in unexpectedly. What are they trying to do?

Chen Che looked at Zhou Shaoyang's head on the ground, lifted his head to glare at Luo Qingtian, and said, "Director Luo, who would have thought you'd be so ruthless? I've already personally killed Zhou Shaoyang, yet you still wouldn't spare him, even tearing his head off.

In terms of cruelty and viciousness, I, Chen Che, am no match for you, Director Luo."

"What exactly do you mean?" Luo Qingtian was puzzled and confused, still unclear about what had happened.

Wasn't Zhou Shaoyang supposed to be alive, in a feigned death state?

But from the severed neck of Zhou Shaoyang, it was evident that the flesh had already decayed for some time.

This indicated that Zhou Shaoyang had been truly dead for quite a while.

"You've been nearby all along! Chen Che! You're definitely in league with the Apocalypse Society! You stopped my men, preventing them from supporting me, to buy time for the Apocalypse Society, wanting me to die at their hands, and you plan to conspire with them to rescue Zhou Shaoyang!"

Luo Qingtian questioned Chen Che, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, locked onto Chen Che, trying to see through him.

Chen Che's expression turned strange, asking in confusion, "Director Luo, I know being besieged by the Apocalypse Society must have nearly driven you mad, but you can't just randomly accuse people.

How could I possibly be affiliated with those in the Apocalypse Society?

Director Luo, I know your status well—you're a special envoy sent by the Night Empire Headquarters. Your position is incredibly important. If you were to die in the Ninth Special Zone, none of us could bear the consequences. How would I dare to assassinate a central-appointed envoy?

And about your claim of conspiring with the Apocalypse Society to save Zhou Shaoyang—that's utter nonsense. Everyone knows the enmity between me and the Apocalypse Society isn't something that can ever be bridged. I even severely wounded the Apocalypse Society not long ago. How could I be one of them?"

"That's just a guise! You're merely covering for each other. If you're not with the Apocalypse Society, why were you with them here? Why is the Security Squadron blocking my men?"

Chen Che replied with a look of helplessness, "Director Luo, this is just a misunderstanding. I accidentally stumbled upon this place while hearing the gunfire and came to watch the commotion. The reason the Security Squadron blocked your men was to prevent them from coming in to die.

After all, without prior notice, upon hearing your intense firefight, they must've assumed it was some gang war; if they intervened in the heat of a gang battle, they'd be walking into bullets. Why not wait until it's over, until one side wins?

Even in a dogfight, you let them tear each other apart first until they're bloodied.

Wouldn't you agree?"

"You son of a bitch!"

With Chen Che's veiled sarcasm, Luo Qingtian's anger boiled over once more, taking a deep breath as he surveyed his considerable losses, his numerous fallen comrades: "Chen Che, I'll remember today. I'm telling you, I know of your conspiracy with the Apocalypse Society, giving Zhou Shaoyang a fake death pill to simulate death, attempting to deceive everyone. During the transport of Zhou Shaoyang's body, you planned to snatch him away!

I will report this truthfully to the Night Empire Central and the council, to ensure you face severe punishment and an investigation!"

Chen Che's lips curled into a peculiar smile hearing this, saying, "Director Luo, even if we are political enemies, you can't so casually place such burdensome accusations on me. Fake death pill, conspiracy with the Apocalypse Society? Such things make no sense to me."

"You claim Zhou Shaoyang was feigning death, but it was you who had me execute him before the entire council. I stabbed Zhou Shaoyang in the heart before all those people.

Then you personally verified Zhou Shaoyang's corpse; he was completely and utterly dead.

Now, all of a sudden, you tell me Zhou Shaoyang was in a feigned death state. Director Luo, that's a blatant false accusation! I could pursue this with the council!"

Luo Qingtian, faced with Chen Che's counterattack, grew almost irrational with rage: "Nonsense! If Zhou Shaoyang was dead, why would the Apocalypse Society expend such effort to rescue him?"

Chen Che, with an even more sinister smile, said, "It seems Director Luo remains too ignorant about the Apocalypse Society. You see, within their ranks, they possess fanatic dedication.

To them, a Yellow-robed Priest of the Apocalypse Society is like a god. The common devotees are truly willing to give their lives for a Yellow-robed Priest.

So to them, even a Priest's corpse must not fall into the hands of enemies like us.

Thus, they will stop at nothing to reclaim this body.

This is very reasonable behavior, far more reasonable than Director Luo saying Zhou Shaoyang is not a corpse.

Director Luo, the image of you holding Zhou Shaoyang's head just now was simply too handsome.

You not only drove Zhou Shaoyang to his death, but also used his corpse to ambush a large wave of Apocalypse Society followers, your actions truly leave me in awe.

The entire Apocalypse Society must hate you now, right? But, well, this is indeed a great achievement. Compared to merit, Director Luo surely doesn't worry about the Apocalypse Society's revenge on you afterwards.

Director Luo, rest assured, I will publicize your achievements well, so everyone in the Ninth Special Zone will see how brilliant your tactics are!"

"But Director Luo, don't make such childish accusations against me, okay? Zhou Shaoyang is obviously dead, completely dead, dead and stiff, yet you say he feigned death—who could fake death like this? Tsk tsk tsk, Director Luo, you'd better take care of yourself."

Chen Che raised the camera in his hand and turned away amidst Luo Qingtian's bewildered gaze.

It wasn't until this moment that Luo Qingtian suddenly came to his senses, as if struck by lightning, with all the strings in his brain snapping and then reconnecting all at once.

Having thought through everything, Luo Qingtian's entire expression became extremely ferocious, gritting his teeth, the muscles on his face turning into blocks of distorted tendons!

He had fallen into a trap, he truly had, he had fallen into the immense trap meticulously crafted by Chen Che!

Is Chen Che really connected to the Apocalypse Society? Truly a person from the Apocalypse Society?

Luo Qingtian couldn't figure it out, couldn't think of it, but he vaguely discovered that Chen Che had mobilized the Apocalypse Society, had mobilized the security brigade, had mobilized him.

Chen Che constructed a stage with his own means, making everyone involved in this performance act according to his script in a spectacular show.

He originally intended to kill Chen Che himself, to publicize the matter of Zhou Shaoyang, thereby making the entire Apocalypse Society regard Chen Che as an enemy, launching a frenzied retaliation against Chen Che.

But now all the hatred of the Apocalypse Society has been transferred to him!

Wait a minute, there are still some key points that don't make sense—how was Chen Che able to mobilize so many people, so many resources, how did he manage to do it?

No matter how much Luo Qingtian wracked his brains, he couldn't figure it out!

…

Villa.

An Nishang's delicate body was casually thrown onto the large bed, visible marks of ravishment all over her.

Those awe-inspiring almond-shaped eyes were now filled with bewildering passion, unable to distinguish herself.

Chen Che sat panting beside An Nishang, placing his hand on the small of her back.

The savagery slowly faded from his face, replaced by gentleness and heartache, as he wrapped his arm around An Nishang's waist, pressing his lips to the back of her neck, gently licking the marks of mistreatment on her tender skin.

"Does it hurt?"

An Nishang slowly opened her beautiful eyes, raising her neck, a collar made of belt wrapped around her swan-like white jade neck.

Adding a touch of wild allure to her exquisite whiteness.

An Nishang arched her waist, her red lips exhaling a hot, turbid breath, then opened her mouth to bite Chen Che's thumb.

Chen Che knew this was An Nishang expressing her satisfaction to him.

Only An Nishang could cooperate with him in this manner.

If it were Xia Na... with what he had just done, Xia Na would definitely fly into a rage, pouncing on him and leaving bite marks all over his body.

Only An Nishang would find enjoyment in the pain.

Perhaps the scars left by enemies on An Nishang were not as numerous as those left by Chen Che in one night.

The two of them snuggled warmly for a while, perhaps their resonance with each other was truly high, managing to be perfectly in sync between the switches from madness to tenderness.

An Nishang then asked softly, "How did you do it? I heard the news, Luo Qingtian suffered great losses, and most importantly, he appealed to the council… You and the Apocalypse Society conspired to put Zhou Shaoyang in a fake death state, but the council ignored it.

What was your original plan? Why did Luo Qingtian suffer such a huge loss?"

"I was just following my initial thoughts…"
