Xu Neng already had a general idea of the answers to the first two questions, but he didn't want to rush into a decision about the last one.
Perhaps asking this question at a crucial moment will solve a bigger problem...
"The third question... I need to think about it and I'll ask you later. Don't worry, Chen Nian, I'll figure something out. Wait for my news."
"Yes, Xu Neng, thank you! And... it wasn't that I didn't care about you just now, it's because I know you're very capable, and if you say you can do it, you definitely can."
While expressing her gratitude, Wang Feifei also took the opportunity to flatter Xu Neng.
Xu Neng was very pleased, and he couldn't suppress a smile. His expression softened, and he looked like a different person.
This time, Xu Neng fell asleep quickly, but only slept for four hours. When he woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, five hours before Chen Nian's execution.
He summoned the lower-ranking apostle in charge of daily life:
"Find me an apostle who participated in the supermarket battle last night."
Soon, a young third-level apostle entered cautiously. He had joined the council relatively late and this was his first time meeting a first-level apostle. He was so nervous that he was sweating profusely and knelt down, not daring to lift his head.
"Tell me the details of last night." A cold voice swept over my head.
He dared not hide anything and told every detail.
...
"Go and summon your captain to see me, Captain Qian, right?"
"Yes...yes..."
Xu Neng knew that the key to saving Chen Nian lay with this man.
Judging from the description just now, this Captain Qian seems to be very interested in women. Xu Neng gave an order to the attendant beside him:
"Go and find out where the mother and daughter they arrested last night are now."
"yes."
When Captain Qian arrived, more than half an hour had passed. As expected of a "veteran," he didn't take Xu Neng, the "newcomer," seriously.
Among the first-level apostles, he only recognized Shen Qingshan, and when he was summoned, he happened to be in a "gentle embrace"...
According to the rules of the "Frost Society", a second-level apostle can have his own woman, and only one. However, the woman under him at this moment was the woman he had kidnapped last night.
In order to save her husband, the woman agreed to the captain's terms.
"A newcomer dares to ruin my plans!" Captain Qian was furious the whole way here, leading his team at a leisurely pace, determined to project an imposing aura.
Upon meeting Xu Neng in person, he immediately realized the gap between Shen Qingshan and himself, and instantly became obedient.
He had followed Hu Tianhao for many years. Although his other abilities were average, he was good at judging people. This young man in front of him was clearly no ordinary person!
So he outwardly bowed respectfully to Xu Neng, clasping his hands in his arms and bowing deeply...
"What are your orders, Commander Xu?"
Xu Neng quickly scanned the middle-aged man in front of him. He was slightly overweight, with a cunning look in his eyes and a habitual professional smile on his face.
"I heard you did a great job last night, capturing a man named 'Chen Nian'."
"Yes, this guy is not easy to deal with. He's stubborn and refuses to cooperate. He burned several of our polar suits and even burned one of our brothers."
“He’s a friend of mine, Captain Qian. Do you think it’s possible to do this?” Xu Neng lowered his tone slightly, but his eyes were fixed on the other person.
Captain Qian's eyes darted around, and he said with a smile, "Well, that might be a bit difficult..."
He glanced at Xu Neng, unable to discern the other's emotions, and felt relieved, saying:
"Commander Xu, you just joined last night, so you may not know our rules. Once you enter the 'Vegetable Camp,' you are no longer considered 'human,' and execution is only a matter of time."
Seeing that Xu Neng remained silent, Captain Qian said more bluntly, "Of course, since Commander Xu has spoken up, postponing the execution is still possible."
After saying that, he smiled and bowed to Xu Neng.
Xu Neng sneered, and instead of standing, he took a long stride and sat down on the sofa, staring at Captain Qian with eagle eyes, without saying a word.
"Xu Tong..." Captain Qian felt a little guilty under his gaze and was about to speak.
"You weren't at your residence just now, were you?" Xu Neng looked at him calmly.
Captain Qian sensed something was wrong after hearing this. How did he know?
The residence of the second-level apostles has only one woman, who is their "registered" "wife," and other women are not allowed to enter the residence.
If you want to have multiple women, you must become a "Level One Apostle" like Shen Qingshan. This is a strict hierarchy that cannot be crossed.
This time, in order to satisfy his own desires, he temporarily found a room inside the cave. Did he find out about this?
"What does Commander Xu mean by that?"
"You just mentioned our rules, and I happen to have a question for you. Is it up to you, Captain Qian, to determine whether newly joined women are classified as 'shared wives,' 'wives,' or the higher-ranking 'equal wives'?"
These words terrified Captain Qian, and he immediately knelt down, stammering, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare..."
"So, where did you come from?" Xu Neng asked, looking down at him.
"Commander Xu, I was wrong, I deserve to die!"
Chen Nian… he voluntarily handed over the supermarket, and started a fire to keep warm… that's how he burned his polar suit. I'll go tell the team right now! Yes, it was an accident while starting a fire to keep warm. I'll go fix it now.”
"You can go now." Xu Neng lifted his leg, then leaned forward, staring into his eyes and whispering:
"You know what you should and shouldn't say, right?"
"I know, I know..." Captain Qian bowed as he withdrew, answering respectfully.
Soon, he understood the deeper meaning of that last sentence, because after he finished revising Chen Nian's documents, he was summoned by Shen Qingshan again.
When Shen Qingshan woke up last night, the first thing he was greeted by Hu Tianhao's icy gaze, a look so cold that it made his heart tremble every time he thought about it...
Since becoming Hu Tianhao's confidant, he couldn't remember the last time he had seen such a look in someone's eyes.
Hu Tianhao left with a cold expression, saying, "You should reflect on your actions," leaving Shen Qingshan dumbfounded.
He sat up from the sofa, shook his head, his head still throbbing; he had been hit too hard.
What happened? He only remembered being knocked unconscious, so how did things change when he woke up?
Shen Qingshan hurriedly summoned his trusted confidants who had been present throughout the entire incident to inquire about what had just happened, only to learn that a man named Xu Neng had appeared.
This "Xu Neng" not only beat himself up, but was also named a "First-Class Apostle"!
This is an absolute disgrace!
Shen Qingshan immediately ordered an investigation into "Xu Neng". The men he sent out had just arrived when they witnessed Xu Neng summoning Captain Qian. Although they did not know what they said inside, the whole thing was very strange.
Could he have spies within the "Ice Society"?
"Captain Qian?" Shen Qingshan certainly knew this person. In terms of seniority, the two of them had been following Hu Tianhao for about the same amount of time.
But when did the two of them start colluding together?
"Someone come here! Summon Captain Qian!"
