When Xiao Liu opened his eyes, he found himself lying in boundless darkness, with a familiar scent in the air.
He groped his way up, and when his fingertips touched the cold iron wall, the tactile sensation etched in his memory immediately reminded him that he was in a death row cell, just like in his previous life.
Yesterday he was a high-ranking "Level One Apostle", so why did he suddenly want to assassinate Hu Tianhao?
Xiao Liu still doesn't know which step went wrong.
He had regained his senses by then and recalled his state when the incident happened. It felt very strange. Was the sudden confusion in his mind caused by Xu Neng's attack on his head?
Taking advantage of his confused state of mind, Xu used psychological tactics to lead him step by step to a dead end.
After calming down, Xiao Liu tried hard to recall the whole process and realized that he had been tricked:
Xu first used strong suggestion to make Hu Tianhao suspicious. Then, Hu Tianhao's every expression and every word gave Xiao Liu even stronger psychological suggestion, causing his psychological defenses to collapse.
Once emotions get out of control, they can't be brought back, which leads to disaster!
But why would Xu Neng go to such lengths? Could it be that his goal is the same as his own—to kill Hu Tianhao and take his place?
That "borrowing a knife to kill" act was just too masterful.
Looking at the cramped space, Xiao Liu realized that survival was unlikely this time. He was unwilling to accept it; there must be some other way…
Xiao Liu never imagined that, as a threat to Wang Feifei's safety, Xu Neng would have to eliminate him regardless of whether Hu Tianhao lived or died.
Hu Tianhao was lucky; the knife wound only injured his kidney, but after surgery and bandaging, he has passed the critical period.
Although he survived, he remains in a coma due to the accidental injury to an artery, delayed treatment, and excessive blood loss.
Losing a kidney makes it almost impossible to return to the pre-injury state, and this severe damage will require a long period of recuperation.
Upon learning this news, Shen Qingshan became restless, his ambition growing wildly...
After so many years of management, most of the apostles of the "Frost Society" obeyed his orders. This was a rare opportunity, and unexpectedly, it was Xiao Liu who helped him a lot!
Although he was always outmatched by Xu Neng, Xu Neng was a newcomer to the organization. No matter how capable he was, he was still weak and alone and not worth fearing.
As long as Hu Tianhao dies, Shen Qingshan is 90% confident that he can seamlessly take over and ascend to the highest position!
In reality, he was making moves in secret...
The one who suffered the most was Pan Xin. She had just found a "big tree" to shelter her from the wind and rain, but she didn't expect to face risks so soon.
If she falls into Shen Qingshan's hands again, she will surely die!
So when Pan Xin received the news, she rushed to the ward anxiously, but was stopped at the door.
Hu Tianhao couldn't afford any mistakes. Given her status, she was unlikely to see him. However, on her way back, she unexpectedly encountered Xu Huan.
Since escaping from Shen Qingshan's residence last time, Xu Huan had been unable to find Pan Xin again, but this time he encountered her in the cave. He secretly left the group and followed her.
When Pan Xin realized that Xu Huan was following her, she deliberately led him to a secluded storage room and stopped there.
As soon as Xu Huan approached, she pounced on him. After all that had happened, surrounded by wolves and tigers, only Xu Huan remained the same boy she had always known. All she wanted was to be with Xu Huan.
Just as her lips were about to cover his, Xu Huan suppressed his discomfort and "gently" pushed her away.
The truth of what happened back then has not yet come to light. Xu Huan pretends to still have feelings for her and says, "This is not the right place."
"Xu Huan, you've saved me so many times, don't you really care about me?"
"I saved you because I couldn't bear to see you suffer, Shen Yishu..."
Before Xu Huan could finish speaking, Pan Xin broke down in tears:
"Shen Yishu, Shen Yishu, she's dead, she'll never come back to life, you know that? Haven't you always wanted to know the truth? Fine, I'll tell you!"
"What truth?" Xu Huan asked in a hoarse voice, his voice trembling with pain.
Pan Xinsheng looked up with a resigned expression, a tear sliding down her cheek. She gazed at the jagged cave above her and let out a long sigh…
The torment and harm I suffered are all still vivid in my mind. The sins of the past must eventually be repaid!
“Xu Huan, I’m telling you now, listen carefully, the man who raped Shen Yishu back then was none other than Chu Xiang.”
"It was him?"
Xu Huan was so shocked that his heart skipped a beat. No wonder his heart would suddenly ache every time he saw him. Thinking of Chu Xiang's face and the tragic experiences he had gone through with Shen Yishu, Xu Huan's heart clenched...
He grabbed Pan Xin's arm excitedly, his eyes red, and asked:
Why would he do this?!
Pan Xin closed her eyes in anguish, tears streaming down her cheeks and dripping onto Xu Huan's hand. She sobbed silently.
"Because I love you, and you only love her, I want you..."
The answer struck Xu Huan like a thunderbolt. He staggered, almost falling, despair creeping onto his face. He stared at Pan Xin with eyes that seemed to want to devour her:
"So, the root cause of Shen Yishu's tragedy is me?"
Seeing that Xu Huan was about to collapse, Pan Xin quickly explained:
"No, it wasn't you, it was me. I shouldn't have had other thoughts about you. It was my fault, everything was my fault. You never did anything wrong!"
Xu Huan took a deep breath, as if his soul had been ripped away. His grip on Pan Xin's hand went limp and fell to his sides.
He didn't want to look at Pan Xin again and walked out of the storage room dejectedly...
"Xu Huan!" Pan Xin wanted to chase after him, but reason told her that there was no possibility between her and Xu Huan anymore, and that Xu Huan would never forgive her.
Her identity, her entanglement with Xu Huan, will harm him.
She lowered her head and wept softly, determined to use the rest of her life to atone for her sins...
Xu Huan didn't know where to go and wandered aimlessly. His mind was filled with images of Shen Yishu's life. He had been searching for the truth for so many years, and now that he knew it all, he couldn't bear it.
He suddenly experienced angina and collapsed on the road.
Just then, Xu Neng and Xiao Gao passed by and found Xu Huan lying unconscious. Xu Neng checked his breathing and wondered, "Isn't this the undercover policeman? How did he end up here?"
Xu Neng turned to Xiao Gao and said:
"Take him back to your place first, and let me know when he wakes up."
"yes."
Xu Neng had important matters to attend to and dared not delay, so he hurriedly went to find Captain Qian's residence. He remembered clearly that the two apostles had said that they were Captain Qian's men.
When Captain Qian saw Xu Neng, he was very flustered. He had just returned from Shen Qingshan's place, where there were several second-level apostles who were discussing how to support Shen Qingshan's "ascension to power".
So, the moment he saw Xu Neng, he thought that Shen Qingshan's plan had been discovered by this formidable guy, and his heart skipped a beat.
Xu Neng immediately noticed something was amiss, but now was not the time to investigate these matters; he needed to find the two people as soon as possible.
Only by finding them can we uncover the hidden dangers...
