Xu Huan was taken aback. He had previously thought that the members of the "Frost Society" were all vicious criminals, but what Xu Neng had just said was not what he had expected.
He had to re-evaluate the man.
Recalling their first meeting, Xu Huan was temporarily assigned to maintain order in the east of the city. At that time, a blizzard had already begun, and people were scrambling for supplies everywhere. The world was starting to fall into chaos, but Xu Neng was still staying in a hotel.
Based on Xu Huan's many years of criminal investigation experience, Xu Neng should not be a local. If he was trapped in the hotel due to the blizzard and wanted to survive, he really had no other way out except to be forced to join the "Ice Society".
Thinking of this, Xu Huan calmed down, stared intently at Xu Neng, and asked:
"Since you've guessed my identity and have the ability to kill me, why don't you do it?"
"Why would I kill you? I've said it before, I don't care what you do."
Xu Neng glanced at him sideways and continued:
"However, if you attack me again next time, I might change my mind."
Xu Neng left without waiting for a response. He couldn't be bothered to deal with the policeman; he had more important things to handle, such as rushing back to report to Hu Tianhao.
During these days of blizzards, Xu Huan witnessed too many human tragedies, which is why he was entrusted with this mission in a time of crisis.
He had just seen Pan Xin and Shen Qingshan leave together downstairs, which strengthened his resolve to continue the mission. He felt he was getting closer to the truth of what happened back then.
Xu Huan watched Xu Neng's retreating figure. His intuition told him that the man wasn't lying. Since he couldn't kill him, he might as well wait and see...
At this time, Pan Xin and Shen Qingshan had been making love several times at their residence at the base.
When Pan Xin first arrived at the base, she found it not only warm but also offering near-luxurious living conditions, like a paradise on earth. In this chaotic world, she thought she had found a place to rely on.
To prove her worth, Pan Xin tried everything she could, but strangely, Shen Qingshan seemed different from the other men she had met.
Throughout the process, Pan Xin consistently felt intense pain and shame, while Shen Qingshan seemed to be completely absorbed in it...
For example, he would pick open the scabs on Pan Xin's ankle, letting the blood flow freely. He would let the blood flow onto the sheets and even lick the blood, and his eyes would become manic.
For example, he tied Pan Xin's hands, beat her severely, and forced her to do things she didn't want to do...
Each time it got worse than the last, and Pan Xin's crying and begging for mercy were to no avail. She had a vague feeling that she had fallen into another trap.
Fortunately, Shen Qingshan was summoned away not long after, and Pan Xin was able to relax. After checking around, she discovered that she was being imprisoned in a magnificent suite.
The door was locked, and she couldn't escape. Pan Xin searched every corner until she saw the neatly arranged "torture instruments" in the cabinet, and she completely panicked...
When Shen Qingshan was summoned by Hu Tianhao, he was surprised to find himself alone. He was flattered and bowed respectfully.
Soon, Hu Tianhao asked, "You returned with a full haul from the battle of Yujing City. Did the process go smoothly?"
Shen Qingshan understood that Hu Tianhao had summoned him for questioning because he trusted him. Overjoyed, he mentally recounted the events of the evening, intending to claim credit, and thus replied:
"Although there were some initial setbacks, the overall process went relatively smoothly. Just as you predicted, Leader, this community has a huge amount of supplies. You really knew what you were talking about..."
Hu Tianhao was furious, staring at Shen Qingshan with a sinister look, and interrupted him coldly:
"This raid cost us a third of our men, and you call that 'successful'?"
Shen Qingshan was so frightened that he fell to the ground and hurriedly explained:
"Leader, please calm down. At first, we followed Xiao Liu's plan and entered the community through the high wall. Then, each team encountered an ambush. I was almost killed. All of this is too strange."
Shen Qingshan knew in his heart that he had only managed to save his life thanks to Xu Neng's help this time.
Xu Neng handled everything flawlessly throughout the entire process. He wanted to shift the blame to Xu Neng, but reason told him that it was unwise to do so. Hu Tianhao could easily find out the details with a little research. Forcibly dragging him into the mess would only backfire.
As for Xiao Liu, his plan did indeed have problems, which led to the assassination of many apostles after they entered the community.
In his rage, Hu Tianhao and Shen Qingshan weighed their options and naturally shifted the blame to Xiao Liu.
Upon hearing the word "strange," Hu Tianhao calmed down. He sat in the main seat and said in a low voice:
Tell me the details of tonight's events!
Shen Qingshan certainly didn't want to talk about how Xu Neng had saved him, so he avoided the main point and said:
"It seems that our actions were known to the community security team. Our scattered teams were always secretly surrounded and attacked, which is why we suffered heavy casualties."
Shen Qingshan glanced at Hu Tianhao and then said:
“I think that with the plan to breach the high walls, Xiao Liu, as a ‘prophet,’ should have known about the risks beforehand, but he…”
Shen Qingshan didn't dare to continue, because Hu Tianhao's face was getting darker and darker. He knew that Xiao Liu was probably in trouble.
There's nothing we can do about it. More than twenty people were killed or injured. If the leader keeps harping on this, then someone has to take the blame. Besides, Xiao Liu's plan did have flaws, so it's fair that he takes the blame.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingshan's eyes hardened, and he had already made up his mind.
Hu Tianhao stared at Shen Qingshan. He didn't think Shen Qingshan was lying, and his suspicions about Xiao Liu grew stronger.
Since Xiao Liu is unreliable, what about Xu Neng? Shen Qingshan hadn't mentioned Xu Neng at all, which made Hu Tianhao even more suspicious. So he asked again:
How was Xu Neng's performance tonight?
This question stumped Shen Qingshan. He deliberately didn't mention Xu Neng because he was afraid that Xu Neng was too strong and would be given important responsibilities by Hu Tianhao. But after Hu Tianhao questioned him in detail, he couldn't hide it from him anymore.
Having followed Hu Tianhao for so many years, he knew how serious the consequences of lying could be, so he had no choice but to tell the whole story about what Xu Neng had done.
"When we first entered the residential area, Commander Xu separated from us. But when I was attacked by their captain, Commander Xu suddenly appeared and managed to capture the man."
Shen Qingshan also had many doubts about what Xu Neng did tonight. Just then, Hu Tianhao asked about it, so he deliberately brought up the doubts. After all, they were mortal enemies, and he wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about Xu Neng.
"You mean you didn't know what Xu Neng was doing before, but then he showed up at a crucial moment?"
"Yes."
How could Xu Neng know about the other party's plan?
"I do not know."
Hu Tianhao remained silent for a long time, lost in thought: Xu Neng is truly no simple man...
"You may leave now. Tell Xu Neng to come see me."
Hu Tianhao decided to put Xiao Liu aside for now and interrogate Xu Neng first. Hu Tianhao had too many doubts about Xu Neng's behavior tonight.
Based on the analysis, there are two possibilities for this person:
One type is those who are incredibly prescient;
One method is to cooperate with others from the inside out.
Hu Tianhao had doubts about whether Xu Neng was truly loyal to him, so he had to find out the truth!
