Pan Xin heard no more movement from the living room. Afraid of losing this rare opportunity, she frantically called out without even putting on her clothes:

"Help! Help me... Please help me..."

Since Shen Qingshan officially moved into the base, although he had prepared his room well in advance, he was stopped by the leader for "indulging in playthings" before he could move his former "playthings" in.

These cries for help instantly piqued Shen Qingshan's interest: such a beautiful voice must belong to a beauty in the bedroom!

He gave a signal, and his trusted aide immediately pinned Chu Xiang down, forcing him to kneel on the ground, unable to move.

Chu Xiang's head was pressed to the ground. His brain was racing. No! If this continued, not only would Pan Xin be taken away, but he himself would also suffer!

Seeing the leader about to enter the bedroom, he immediately shouted, "I offer you my beauty and all my supplies, please let me join you!"

After listening, Shen Qingshan glanced at the man on the ground, then walked closer with interest, squatted down, and stared at him:

How can you be so sure I'd be interested in her?

Chu Xiang's face was pressed against the ground, his eyes barely able to see the leader's calves. He dared not look up, only staring at the boots in front of him, and said in a trembling voice:

"She...is an absolute stunner, every man...would like her!"

"Hahaha... You're quite sensible!"

Shen Qingshan smiled, and the apostle gestured, loosening the pressure on Chu Xiang's head. Chu Xiang's head was finally able to leave the ground, but his body was still held down, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

Shen Qingshan smiled wickedly, got up and went into the bedroom.

To get a better look at the woman, he closed the door, walked straight to the window, and pulled back the curtains.

The snow outside reflected the pale blue moonlight, which instantly shone into the room. By this cold light, Shen Qingshan carefully observed the beauty on the bed.

Pan Xin sat on the bed, hugging a quilt, her waist-length hair loose. Her fair skin appeared even more translucent in the cold light. Her expression was sorrowful, revealing a kind of broken beauty.

She had overheard the entire conversation in the living room and was filled with regret for impulsively asking for help, only to be betrayed by that beast once again.

The hatred in her eyes for Chu Xiang reached its peak, and she didn't even notice the strange man who had entered.

When Shen Qingshan saw the beautiful woman on the bed, clutching the blanket, her stunning face, though filled with hatred, still bore the redness of tears in her eyes, the undried tear stains on her cheeks, and the clearly visible red marks on her neck, shoulders, and collarbone…

It perfectly matched all his fantasies about beautiful women.

Every woman who fell into his hands before was like this!

He excitedly approached the woman and gently lifted the corner of the blanket...

A chill made Pan Xin curl up. Looking at the man in front of her, dressed in heavy clothes, a strong sense of shame overwhelmed her. She closed her eyes, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

The poignant tears, paired with the perfect peaks and the scattered crimson spots, intensified Shen Qingshan's feelings!

"Wow!" He gasped, his eyes scanning the woman from head to toe, finally settling on the shackles on her ankles. He shuddered, unable to suppress a silent admiration.

"Truly top-quality!"

Shen Qingshan picked up the clothes from the ground and handed them to the woman: "Put these on. I'll take you away. You won't have to suffer here anymore."

These words startled Pan Xin, igniting a glimmer of hope. She opened her eyes, stared at the man before her, and asked:

"Can you really take me away?"

Shen Qingshan smiled and nodded, then gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear. He lifted the beauty's chin with his thumb and hooked forefinger, forcing her to look into his eyes.

"May I have your name?"

Pan Xin hesitated repeatedly. She didn't know what the future held, but she was willing to do anything to escape Chu Xiang's control.

"Pan Xin".

Shen Qingshan looked at her with amusement, then had the man kneeling on the living room floor bring him the key and unlock the woman's shackles. He stared blankly at the dark red scabs on his ankle, feeling unbearably thirsty.

Unfortunately, Pan Xin was only focused on her newfound freedom and failed to notice the strange behavior of the man in front of her. Overjoyed, she picked up the underwear that Chu Xiang had prepared for her and put it on.

The semi-transparent texture of the lingerie, combined with its beautiful sheen, further aroused Shen Qingshan's desire. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his breathing became rapid.

Though outwardly calm, he was actually suppressing his desire, reaching into his pocket and repeatedly rubbing his thumb and forefinger together...

By the time Pan Xin finished putting on her coat, the remaining warmth on her skin had been completely dissipated. The room, which had long been unheated, was shockingly cold, and Pan Xin couldn't help but shiver.

Shen Qingshan's eyes were dark. He called over his trusted confidant and found a thick coat to put on Pan Xin. Pan Xin looked at him gratefully and even felt a little bit of goodwill towards him.

Seeing Shen Qingshan preparing to leave with the woman, the confidant pointed at Chu Xiang kneeling on the ground and asked:

"Commander Shen, what should we do with this man?"

Shen Qingshan looked at the beautiful woman beside him, a rare sight indeed, and asked the man on the ground with great interest:

"May I have your name?"

Hope ignited in Chu Xiang's eyes. He quickly lowered his head and humbly replied, "My name is Chu Xiang, and I am willing to follow you to the death!"

After speaking, she stared intently at Shen Qingshan, not daring to look at Pan Xin standing beside her.

Shen Qingshan glanced at him, thinking to himself that he was quite alert and pleasing to the eye, so he waved his hand dismissively:

"Alright! You're now a 'Level Three Apostle.' Come with us."

After finishing his sentence, Shen Qingshan left without looking back and got into a sled with Pan Xin downstairs.

Having been imprisoned by Chu Xiang for so long, this was Pan Xin's first time outdoors. She only knew that it was snowing heavily outside, but she didn't realize the extent of the disaster...

Pan Xin tightened her collar and, using the snow's light, sized up the man beside her. He was younger than Xu Hui, looked well-dressed, and seemed to hold a high position.

"Perhaps... following him might not be a bad thing..."

After thinking this through, Pan Xin felt much more at ease and leaned against Shen Qingshan like a little bird.

Before setting off, Shen Qingshan gathered all his men and gave the order: "I'll go back to the base first. You all follow Commander Xu's instructions and get the rest done."

The ending didn't forget to win people's hearts: "A great victory tonight, we'll be waiting to go back and reward those who have contributed!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Shen Qingshan strode away, his arm around the beauty, eager to return for a night of passion, leaving the rest to Xu Neng.

Shen Qingshan's actions unexpectedly brought Xu Neng endless trouble...

Xu Huan had somehow infiltrated Shen Qingshan's group. Although he was not high enough in rank to follow Shen Qingshan closely, he was unaware of Pan Xin and Chu Xiang's situation. However, he spotted Xu Neng at the far end of the group!

—The man who once helped the hotel.

Xu Huan entered the "Ice Society" with a mission. He was an undercover agent sent by the police to collect evidence of Hu Tianhao's crimes and eventually work with others to wipe out the organization.

Xu Huan went to great lengths to infiltrate the organization and obtain the status of "Level 3 Apostle".

The moment he met Xu Neng, he knew that this man was a ticking time bomb, because Xu Neng already knew his identity as a police officer from their encounter at the hotel.

Most fatally, Xu Neng seems to have a rather high status!

To complete the mission, Xu Huan only has one path: shut Xu Neng up...
