Ice Peak Demon Love [Complete] - 8

Chapter Twenty-Three: Playing Hard to Get

In the dark, treacherous den, the loud cries of a baby echoed. Shi Xianglan, dressed in a Japanese-style nurse's uniform, her mostly exposed body exposed, leaned against the iron cage, her arms around her child through the bars, softly soothing him while tears streamed down her face.

The baby, nestled in her arms, was crying in protest, probably because he had been confined in the cage for so long and felt suffocated.

"Little Miaomiao, don't cry, don't cry... Mommy's holding you... don't cry..."

The head nurse gently rocked her arms, gazing lovingly at her precious son. The little guy was round and adorable, clearly well-nourished; in just over six months, he had grown into a chubby, fair-skinned boy.

Under her gentle, loving coaxing, the baby gradually quieted down, his crying soon ceasing, and he closed his eyes, drifting into a sweet dream.

Shi Xianglan stared blankly at her son's peaceful sleeping face, tears falling to the ground like broken pearls. She'd been here for half a month, and these past fifteen days had been a nightmare! Imprisoned in this room, she hadn't been allowed to leave even for eating, drinking, or relieving herself, and slept on a makeshift bed next to the iron cage at night.

The pervert refused to open the cage, only allowing her, the mother, to care for her son through the bars, even for changing diapers and bathing him—a situation that caused the head nurse immense pain. But at least she could hold her precious child in her arms and kiss his little face, offering some solace.

However, even this small comfort came at the cost of sacrificing her dignity and self-respect, humiliatingly submitting to those perverted demands. The pervert and Chu Qian subjected her to daily "training," forcing her to masturbate or using an electric dildo to forcibly stimulate her until she ejaculated copious amounts of vaginal fluid.

This was humiliation no normal woman could endure! If it weren't for her child, Shi Xianglan would have committed suicide long ago, consumed by shame and despair. However, the power of maternal love is so great that it sustained her through the bitter ordeal.

"Is the little guy asleep?" A hoarse, unpleasant voice came from behind, sneering, "If he's asleep, put him down. You should spend some time with me!"

The head nurse kissed the baby sadly, reluctantly placing him in the cradle.

Although she longed to hold her child a little longer, she dared not linger even for a few seconds. Otherwise, the chainsaw on the ceiling would immediately appear, its power covering every corner of the iron cage, leaving no escape.

According to regulations, as long as Shi Xianglan "behaved well," she could spend an hour each morning, noon, and evening with her son. However, the baby had started crying, so she, as the mother, had to soothe him.

—My dear baby, for you, your mother can endure any hardship, any humiliation…

The head nurse silently shed tears, a voice within her constantly calling out, her hands gripping the bars, unwilling to let go.

Footsteps sounded, and a strong arm reached out from behind, encircling her waist. At the same time, a hot, large mouth pressed against her smooth cheek.

"This little thing is so noisy every night, it's so annoying! It ruins my mood..."

The hot breath tickled her ear, making Shi Xianglan flinch, a blush rising on her pale face.

"A baby only six months old, how can they not be noisy..." she pleaded, "If you find it annoying, just let us go... I promise I won't report it!"

"How can I?" Awei smiled coldly, his hands sliding up her bare waist, slipping inside her half-cut nurse's uniform, brazenly grabbing her extremely full breasts. Those two soft, smooth, plump mounds were truly irresistible. "Even if I could let you go, I couldn't bear to part with these big breasts of yours..."

The head nurse trembled under his hands, unable to hold back her soft sobs: "How long are you going to keep us locked up?"

"It's not locking you up, it's keeping you in captivity! A big cow like you is a rare breed; I'm going to keep you as a pet for life!"

Awei leered, licking her round little earlobe, while his hands kneaded her swollen breasts, pressing his palms against the sensitive nipples on her warm flesh, feeling them harden and secrete some fluid.

"I'm a person, not some… cow!"

Shi Xianglan protested, her face flushed, filled with shame and indignation.

"Heh, as long as you refuse to admit you're a cow, I won't let you be free!"

Awei sneered, reaching out to pull her astonishingly large breasts out of her tank top, exposing the two snow-white, round mounds of flesh to the air. The plump flesh, pressed against the collar, created a deep cleavage.

"Ah… why are you torturing me like this? Why…"

The head nurse cried out in shame, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Even though I rejected your advances before, I still consider you a friend. Just because we can't be lovers doesn't mean you have to treat me like an enemy!"

Awei was momentarily speechless, then slowly said, "You've indeed been quite good to me, but your dead father has a deep-seated hatred for me! You're just taking the blame for him now..."

Shi Xianglan suddenly realized, her voice trembling, "So you approached me deliberately for revenge! But whatever hatred my father had for you, it has nothing to do with me! My child and I are innocent. How can you take revenge on the next generation for the hatred of the previous one?"

"Innocent? Hmph, who told you to have such big breasts? Big breasts are a woman's original sin!" Awei could only argue illogically. "Look at yourself! You have two such big breasts sticking out on your chest, and you still have to walk around the hospital every day in a sexy nurse's uniform... Aren't you deliberately tempting people to commit crimes? You slut... I'm keeping you locked up to rid the world of this scourge, so you won't attract men like bees to seduce them!"

As he spoke, he squeezed the two smooth, huge breasts in his palm hard. The soft and elastic flesh trembled lewdly, and white milk overflowed from the nipples.

Shi Xianglan's pretty face turned red to the roots of her ears, her heart filled with sorrow. These days, she had been forbidden from breastfeeding her baby. Her abundant milk had completely become a plaything for the lustful demon to vent his bestial desires. The sacred milk that once symbolized maternal love now brought her only endless humiliation and shame.

"Oh, why is there so little milk? Is it because your nipples are blocked and the milk isn't flowing?"

Awei feigned surprise, his fingertips digging deep into one of the dark red areolas, making the tender nipple protrude even more firmly. The milk duct at the tip suddenly widened, and milk could be clearly seen secreting from it, forming droplets of milky white liquid that dripped down.

"No! I've already filled a whole bowl today..."

Shi Xianglan blushed with embarrassment, turning her head away from this extremely lewd scene.

"One bowl isn't enough! A cow's milk production should be more than that!"

Awei chuckled, turning the head nurse around so she was facing him, forcing her to raise her blushing face.

"I heard that cows produce the most milk during estrus..." he made up, "And mating can also increase a cow's milk production, I wonder if that's true?"

Shi Xianglan's heart sank, and her pretty face lost all color.

After being captured, she expected to be raped immediately. However, although the lecherous man tirelessly trained her daily, using various despicable methods to fondle her large breasts, he never actually possessed her body. Clearly, in his eyes, she was a piece of meat already in his mouth, not something to be swallowed hastily; he was simply waiting for the perfect moment.

—Judging from the devil's tone, misfortune was finally coming… I can no longer preserve my chastity…

This thought flashed through her mind, and Shi Xianglan trembled slightly. Although she had been mentally prepared for this day, she still felt an unbearable fear as it approached.

"I'm asking you a question!" Awei roared, pinching the plump, round mound of flesh in his palm hard. "Speak!"

Tears streamed down Shi Xianglan's face from the pain, her eyes filled with shame and indignation. She couldn't help but choke back a sob as she angrily retorted, "If you want to rape me, I have no way to resist anyway, so why make up so many excuses?"

"You impolite cow, how dare you talk back to your master!"

Awei outwardly roared in fury, but inwardly he was quite pleased with this reaction.

He knew that a virtuous and self-respecting woman like Shi Xianglan wouldn't have her psychological defenses so easily destroyed, nor could her strong sense of self-respect be completely crushed in one fell swoop. Although she had outwardly submitted to his lewd power these past few days, she still harbored a strong will to resist, only daring not to show it.

To train such a woman into a sex slave, he needed to first ignite her hidden will to resist, and then crush it with even more ruthless methods! In this way, she could progress from mere superficial obedience to complete surrender, losing all will to resist and becoming a captivating plaything, utterly enslaved.

"Big Cow, it seems I need to punish you properly!" Awei sneered sinisterly, turning to shout towards the door, "Qiannu, bring the machine in!"

The female singer responded and entered the room, pushing a wheeled platform that looked like a machine, equipped with some terrifyingly strange devices.

"Come here! Come here!"

Awei yelled, dragging and pulling Shi Xianglan to the platform, forcing her to climb on.

"This...what is this?"

The head nurse crouched tremblingly on it, a bad feeling rising within her, looking at the machine with suspicion.

Awei grinned maliciously without answering, gesturing to Chu Qian. The two of them worked together, grabbing the chains on the platform and handcuffing her limbs without a word.

"What...what do you want?"

Shi Xianglan cried out in a trembling voice, forced into a quadrupedal position, crawling on the platform like a female beast.

Her collar was completely torn open, and her extremely full, snow-white breasts drooped down, like two large bells hanging in front of her chest, trembling heavily with her futile struggles.

"This is my modified breast pump. It was originally used in foreign cattle farms. Now I'll use you, this big cow, to try it out! Hahaha..."

Amidst the maniacal laughter, Awei picked up two transparent straws from the platform, each with a long, narrow glass container at the end. He grabbed the head nurse's naked breasts with his left hand, and with his right hand, he slammed the glass container down, swallowing a small portion of the full breast. Then he did the same with the other breast, stuffing the nipple into the other glass container.

"No! I don't want to use this thing to suckle...no..."

Shi Xianglan was terrified, twisting her body and struggling violently.

"Don't move!" Chu Qian stood behind her and slapped her swaying buttocks, scolding in a sweet voice, "If you keep moving, the machine might hurt you!"

Shi Xianglan turned pale with fright and dared not move again, forced to watch helplessly as the other party did as they pleased.

Awei chuckled as he positioned the glass container, then turned the knob at the bottom. The steel wire at the edge of the container immediately contracted inward, tightly gripping her two large, round breasts.

"Ready? Now—start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Awei reached out and pressed the switch on the breast pump, which emitted a low rumble.

"No... I don't want to be pumped like this! Turn it off... no!"

Shi Xianglan cried out in anguish. This method of humiliation was completely beyond her imagination. Her sense of shame, which had been somewhat numbed by the torture, was revived and dealt another heavy blow!

"Wow, her breasts are bulging... bulging!"

Chu Qian exclaimed, her eyes wide, like a little girl seeing something amazing.

As soon as the machine started, the suction tube emptied the air from the glass container, and the soft breast tissue inside, compressed under pressure, slowly expanded like a balloon. The small, snow-white breast inside the container swelled larger and larger, seemingly about to burst at any moment; even the blue veins beneath the translucent skin were faintly visible, its twisted and deformed appearance utterly lewd.

"It hurts... please stop... it hurts so much..."

the head nurse cried out, twisting her plump, white buttocks in agony. She felt a tearing pain in her chest, as if a huge suction force was forcibly pulling at her nipples; her round areolas had doubled in size, and her two grape-like nipples had grown long and erect like sprouting seeds.

In an instant, all the blood in her body seemed to rush to her nipples, and the pain reached its peak before suddenly gushing out…

“Aiya!”

Shi Xianglan suddenly cried out in agony, her nipples bobbing and contracting like springs, the pure white milk spraying like a fountain to the bottom of the container, only to be sucked away by the straw without pause.

Before the screams had even subsided, her nipples were sucked up again, and a brief, sharp pain shot through her breasts once more. Then, as the pain subsided, two more streams of milk were sucked away.

“Haha… there’s still so much milk to express! Looks like we’re using the right machine!”

Awei watched gleefully, clapping and laughing. Chu Qian joined in the teasing, mercilessly humiliating the pitiful head nurse.

With the rhythmic vibration of the machine, streams of snow-white milk sprayed out continuously, splattering the entire glass container with tiny, speckled marks. The milk, growing ever more abundant, converged into two thin streams, gurgling along the transparent straws and flowing into a collection box behind the platform.

"Ahhh...you devil! You're so inhuman...waaaah..."

Shi Xianglan cried out in shame and indignation, her entire being consumed by intense humiliation. Forced to produce milk by the machine, she felt like a cow on a ranch, devoid of even the most basic human dignity.

Awei, however, watched with great interest, his extremely perverse psychology finding maximum satisfaction.

The breast pump was incredibly powerful; in less than two minutes, the head nurse's milk supply had dried up. Both nipples were flattened and elongated, yet only a tiny amount of milk dripped out.

Awei then stopped the machine and removed the two glass containers from her breasts.

Shi Xianglan swayed and collapsed onto the platform, her eyes blurry with tears as she gazed at her ravaged breasts. The tips of her incredibly full breasts were bruised from being constricted, and the snow-white flesh was visibly swollen and red. A burning pain emanated from her tender nipples.

"Three hundred cc...not bad!" Awei picked up the collection box behind him, tapping the markings on it with his fingers, and chuckled. "Big cow, I only realized how amazing your milk production is after using the breast pump! Haha...ha..."

The head nurse's face flushed red, her shame beyond words, and she lowered her head, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Master, I think this cow has amazing potential. With proper training, she might even break the world record!"

Chu Qian said with a gloating expression, snuggling into Awei's arms in a coquettish voice, her alluring body rubbing against his.

"That's right!" Awei approvingly patted the female singer's bare bottom. "Continue to use the machine to pump her milk tomorrow, and try to break the record as soon as possible!" Shi Xianglan's vision went black, and she almost fainted, feeling dizzy

as if she had fallen into an abyss with no end in sight...

********** ... Female detective captain Shi Binglan stood alone in the room, her long shadow trailing on the floor, looking utterly lonely. This was her sister's home, once a lively and warm place, but now everything was different, covered in a thick layer of dust, cold and desolate. "Sister, it's all my fault... The pervert was after me; you were kidnapped because of me..." Every time she thought of her sister, Shi Binglan felt a piercing pain in her heart. For the past ten days or so, she had spent almost every day in anxious sleepless nights, looking noticeably more haggard. Her thin face was heartbreaking, and her already slender waist had shrunk further, now only a mere 21 inches, making her once full breasts appear even more voluptuous. She had come to her sister's house again after work today, hoping to find some previously overlooked clues at the scene, but the result was still deeply disappointing. "Why am I always being led by the nose by the pervert in this case?" Could it be... that I'm truly destined to lose to him? No... no, there must be some reason... Shi Binglan vaguely sensed a "blind spot" in her thinking. If she could find it and understand it clearly, the case could achieve a decisive breakthrough. She pondered for a long time until it was completely dark before leaving the house with a frown. Just as she stepped outside, she unexpectedly bumped into a man, simultaneously smelling a strong odor of alcohol. Shi Binglan instinctively took a step back, and upon closer inspection, she realized that the man was Shen Song, her sister's colleague at the hospital and an attending physician in the thoracic department. He was clearly drunk, his unshaven face reeking of alcohol. "Dr. Shen, what are you doing here?" the female detective captain asked, slightly puzzled. Shen Song looked up at her with drunken eyes, his gaze suddenly becoming intense and bright. He staggered forward and opened his arms to hug her. "Xianglan...you're finally back safe and sound! It's good you're alright...Xianglan, I missed you so much..." He called out the head nurse's name incoherently, his eyes gleaming with ecstatic joy, looking utterly overwhelmed with excitement. "You've mistaken me for someone else, I'm not Xianglan...Dr. Shen! Think clearly..." Shi Binglan was both amused and exasperated, repeatedly insisting while trying to break free from his embrace. "I worried about you every day, hoping you'd come back! Xianglan...I love you..." Shen Song seemed quite drunk, his arms tightly wrapped around the female police captain. Shi Binglan had no choice but to resort to fighting techniques, striking him hard with her elbow, sending Shen Song sprawling to the ground with a thud. "Dr. Shen, are you alright? Dr. Shen..." Seeing that he seemed to have been knocked unconscious, the female police captain was startled and quickly knelt down, anxiously shaking his body. After a while, Shen Song slowly regained consciousness, opening his eyes groggily and clutching his lower abdomen, groaning in pain. Shi Binglan sighed, "It's good that you're alright. Don't drink so much next time... Okay, where do you live? I'll take you home..." Just as she was about to help him up, another figure suddenly appeared on the dark stairs. "Ayu! What are you doing here?" The female detective captain was taken aback. Wang Yu avoided answering, rushing forward to take Shen Song's arm, "Let me help you, Captain..." "No, no need to take me... I can walk by myself... I can walk..." Shen Song mumbled groggily, breaking free from Wang Yu's support and unsteadily descending the stairs. Shi Binglan watched him leave, her clear eyes turning to her subordinate. "Ayu, you still haven't answered me! What are you doing here too?" Wang Yu lowered his head and remained silent. The female detective captain understood, her face darkening slightly. "You've been following me around protecting me? Ah Yu! Didn't I tell you? I'm capable of protecting myself; I don't need you to do this..." " Not necessarily," Wang Yu said seriously. "I've been following you since we left the police station, and you didn't even notice. How can anyone feel at ease with you in this state of mind, Captain?" Shi Binglan was speechless for a moment. She was preoccupied with her sister's safety and hadn't noticed her loyal subordinate secretly protecting her. "I'll be more careful next time; you don't need to..." "Captain!" Wang Yu interrupted her, his expression stubborn. "I won't obey your orders this time! I've already regretted not protecting Xiao Xuan for the rest of my life, and I don't want to make the same mistake again!" Mentioning Meng Xuan brought another wave of sadness to Shi Binglan, and her heart softened. "Alright then, but from now on you'll act under my command." She tried to calm her turbulent emotions, regaining her composure. "Every day on your way to and from work, follow behind me and observe, but you must keep a considerable distance to avoid being noticed by others. If the pervert tries to make a move on me, he'll definitely start by following me, and then he won't escape your notice..." The two quickly reached an agreement and left the head nurse's house one after the other. ************ It was late at night, and Shi Xianglan still tossed and turned, unable to sleep, her eyes wide open in the darkness. As usual, she slept on a makeshift bed on the floor in the living room, right next to the iron cage. All around was quiet; she could clearly hear her beloved son's steady breathing. There was no wind, and even though she was sleeping naked on a mat, the head nurse felt incredibly hot; her bare skin was glistening with sweat, making it impossible for her to fall asleep. To make matters worse, besides sweating, her nipples were constantly secreting milk! Although it was only a thin trickle, it never stopped, soaking her breasts completely every few minutes. "It's over, I've really become a milk cow..." Shi Xianglan felt a wave of despair, so ashamed she wanted to cry. These past few days, Awei had intensified his torment of her, forcibly pumping milk from her every day. Perhaps the machine had truly unlocked her "milk production potential," as her milk production increased rapidly day by day, doubling in just over half a month. Yesterday, a full 1300 cc of milk was pumped out, almost enough to fill a small basin. Every time the breast pump was used, Shi Xianglan felt utterly ashamed and indignant, feeling like she wasn't a woman, but simply a female animal solely for producing milk. The physical and mental pain she endured was unimaginable.

Especially in the first few days, the forced pumping was nothing short of torture—each suction from the vacuum tube caused excruciating pain in her delicate nipples, leaving them red and swollen afterward.

However, as time went on, perhaps due to gradual adaptation, the pain slowly subsided, replaced by a strange sensation. Each time milk sprayed out, the sensitive nipples experienced a slight, cathartic pleasure, which gradually intensified. Recently, it developed to the point where not only the nipples felt pleasure, but her entire body felt a tingling, electric sensation; even her uterus contracted and convulsed with the rhythm of the pumping—a feeling truly indescribable.

Most shockingly, a few days ago, after the breast pump finished working, the head nurse suddenly noticed a dampness between her legs. Reaching down to touch it, she discovered that she had unknowingly secreted vaginal fluid! This was incredibly embarrassing; she was so ashamed she wanted to disappear into the ground.

Shi Xianglan was unaware that all of this was because Awei had secretly given her a large amount of lactation-inducing drugs. This drug, originally from South America and now completely banned, while not having aphrodisiac properties, altered her endocrine system, greatly increasing her body's sensitivity. Combined with the "connection of her breasts and genitals," this made her easily aroused by even slight stimulation.

Furthermore, she was forced to experience various pleasures daily, compelled to masturbate and use a vibrating dildo to train her body. Her married woman's desires were fully aroused, and her genitals frequently leaked vaginal fluid involuntarily.

And tonight, for some reason, Awei and Chu Qian, contrary to their usual behavior, didn't torment her, as if they had forgotten about her. Deep down, Shi Xianglan was secretly relieved, but physically she was involuntarily tormented, feeling something was wrong all over her body.

—Why is this happening? Could it be… that I've been trained to crave masochism?

This thought flashed through her mind, and the head nurse's cheeks burned with shame. Suddenly, her body trembled, and a gush of fluid flowed between her legs.

Panting, she grabbed a dry towel and groped in the dark, wiping her wet genitals until the towel was completely soaked…

Within an hour, four more towels had been added to her collection. Some were wet with vaginal fluid, others with breast milk. A surge of heat seemed to be coursing through her body, needing a release, lest she explode!

In the darkness, Shi Xianglan's face burned, her curled-up body trembling, her thighs pressed tightly together, rubbing against each other…

Just then, a very soft voice called out.

“Sister Xianglan… Sister Xianglan!”

The head nurse was startled, abruptly sitting up, her voice trembling, “Who?”

“It’s me, it’s Meng Xuan!”

In the dark room, a petite figure could be vaguely seen rushing over, leaping onto the mat and grasping her hand.

"Ah... Meng Xuan!" Shi Xianglan was overjoyed and stammered, "It really is you! Seeing you... is so wonderful..."

She recognized Meng Xuan; she knew she was her sister's capable subordinate who had been captured and imprisoned in the den of iniquity before her. She had thought her fate was sealed, but unexpectedly, she was able to meet her tonight.

"Shh... keep your voice down!" Meng Xuan quickly put her index finger to her lips. "I've been imprisoned in the basement for

a long time, and I only managed to escape tonight..." More than half a month ago, Meng Xuan had already unlocked her shackles, but she still couldn't pry open the iron lock on the basement cell door. She was trapped helplessly for many days until tonight, when the pervert came and brutally violated her again. When he left, he carelessly forgot to lock the door, giving her the opportunity to escape.

The female singer Chu Qian was imprisoned in a basement next door, and Meng Xuan also rescued her, telling her to wait outside while she risked sneaking into the living room to find Shi Xianglan.

"This place is a nightmare, there isn't even a telephone!" The policewoman's voice was full of frustration. "If only we could call Captain Shi, she would definitely be able to bring people here quickly..."

"It seems... there's only a telephone in that devil's bedroom!" Shi Xianglan said in a low voice, "But he's very well guarded, I usually have no chance to secretly call the police..."

"Then we have to run away immediately! Sister Xianglan, are you alright?"

The head nurse nodded, but her face was flushed with embarrassment: "But I'm not wearing any clothes..."

Reminded by her, Meng Xuan then remembered that she was also naked. Since being captured, she hadn't had any cloth to cover her body, and a sense of shame welled up inside her.

In the dark hall, the two naked women looked at each other, both subconsciously covering their snow-white bodies with their arms.

"Never mind all that, let's get out of here first!" Meng Xuan bit her lip. "Otherwise, we'll be imprisoned here forever..."

"What about my child? Can you get him out?"

Shi Xianglan pointed to the iron cage beside her, looking at Meng Xuan with hopeful eyes.

Meng Xuan went over and tried for a while, then shook her head: "Unless you have a key, it's very difficult to open."

The head nurse was extremely disappointed: "Then... you can go by yourself. I'm staying here with my son..."

"Sister Xianglan, don't be foolish!" Meng Xuan hurriedly persuaded her, "You should escape with me first. Are you afraid the child can't be saved?"

"No!" Tears streamed down the head nurse's face as she choked out, "I absolutely can't leave my child here alone... I can't bear to leave him... You should escape quickly! As long as you can escape, my child and I can be saved too!"

"How could you be so foolish, Sister Xianglan!" Meng Xuan stamped her foot, "No! I must get you out of here no matter what..."

In the next few minutes, she used a lot of persuasion, finally managing to convince Shi Xianglan. She almost forcibly grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the dark hall.

They had only run a few steps when the policewoman suddenly shuddered and cried out in surprise, "Ah!"

Not far ahead, a sinister figure stood coldly, emanating a chilling, eerie aura.

The female singer, Chu Qian, nestled beside him like a loyal bitch, a cold smile playing on her lips as she watched them with a gloating expression.

"You! You betrayed us!"

Meng Xuan exclaimed, realizing what had happened. She was filled with anger and hatred, her eyes practically spitting fire as she glared at the singer. The singer, however, remained unfazed, instead raising her head defiantly.

"You bitches, you really did try to escape!"

A hoarse, sinister laugh rang out as Awei swaggered over.

Shi Xianglan trembled violently, her legs giving way, and she collapsed to the ground in terror.

Meng Xuan, however, let out a sharp shout, assuming a fighting stance and launching an attack.

"You've got guts, huh? You actually dare to resist!"

Awei sneered, raising his right arm, a stun gun in his hand, and striding towards the policewoman.

The two women began fighting in the living room. Naked, Meng Xuan fought desperately, dodging the stun baton while launching counterattacks with a flurry of punches and kicks.

Her injuries had healed, but after being imprisoned for several days, her physical condition hadn't fully recovered, and her agitated state affected her performance. After more than ten rounds, she gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Ouch!"

In the heat of the fight, the policewoman was accidentally struck in the waist by the stun baton; a flash of blue light streaked past. She let out a painful howl and lost her balance, falling to the ground.

"Xiao Meng!"

Shi Xianglan screamed and suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Awei's body from behind.

"Run! Meng Xuan, run..."

she cried anxiously, holding the man tightly with all her might, hoping the policewoman could seize the opportunity to escape. But Meng Xuan's limbs twitched, and she couldn't get up for a long time.

Awei chuckled strangely, not worried at all, and began to knead the head nurse's naked buttocks.

"What's the use of running out of this room? The electronic lock on the outer door can't be opened without a password!"

Shi Xianglan shuddered, a feeling of despair rising in her heart again, and her strength involuntarily weakened.

Awei easily pushed her away, bent down and mocked, "Stupid woman! Every basement has miniature cameras monitoring you, I know your every move! I deliberately let you escape tonight... haha... haha..."

Meng Xuan was so angry she almost vomited blood. The 100,000 volts of electricity had rendered her largely incapable of resistance, yet she still tried to throw a punch.

"Save your breath!"

Awei deflected the trembling, powerless arm and mercilessly thrust the stun gun at the policewoman again, this time targeting her erect, pink nipple.

—Ah!

Meng Xuan screamed in pain, the electric shocks crackling on her chest. Her body thrashed and trembled uncontrollably for a few seconds before collapsing like a limp rag doll.

"Little Meng, Little Meng!"

Shi Xianglan scrambled over desperately, shaking the policewoman's petite body, sobbing uncontrollably.

Awei, however, burst into laughter, scooping up the frail woman like an eagle snatching a chick and carrying her back to the lobby.

Chu Qian followed closely behind, looking down at Meng Xuan as she passed by, spitting out two words with disdain: "Serves you right!"

The policewoman glared at her, struggling to speak haltingly, "Why...why did you...become an accomplice? Why..."

Chu Qian sneered again, as if she had heard the most idiotic thing.

"You're incredibly stupid!" she sneered, crouching down. "How could someone as powerful as our master make such a basic mistake as forgetting to lock the door? It's clearly a test to see if we're truly loyal...For my own sake, of course I had no choice but to go along with it and sell you two out..."

Before she could finish, Meng Xuan interrupted her with a "Pah!" her eyes wide open. "You...shameless bitch! You'll die a horrible death..."

The female singer flew into a rage, kicking Meng Xuan hard before turning and running into the hall to exaggerate her complaint.

Awei smiled faintly, instructed Chu Qian to keep an eye on Shi Xianglan, and then strode out to carry the defenseless Meng Xuan back to the basement.

He then took out iodine bandages and carefully bandaged several of Meng Xuan's abrasions, asking with concern, "How are you feeling?"

"Don't pretend with me!" Meng Xuan retorted angrily, "I admit I failed, do whatever you want with me! But this has nothing to do with Sister Xianglan, please don't make things difficult for her!"

"Tsk tsk, quite the backbone! Knowing how terrible the effects of 'Original Sin' are, you still maintain such a tough attitude..."

Awei's tone was half teasing, half admiring.

Meng Xuan's pretty face turned pale. She would rather suffer ten times the cruel pain than experience the excruciating agony of the "Original Sin" drug again. Despite this, she stubbornly bit her lip, refusing to beg for mercy, though her petite body trembled uncontrollably.

"Good! That's got character!" Awei gave a thumbs up, then clapped his hands in praise. "Seriously, Xiaoxuan, I really admire you. You said Chu Qian is a shameless bitch, ha, you're absolutely right! She's not only a bitch, but also a sycophant! You're much more lovable than her. If you sincerely submit to me, as a reward, I'll give you a higher status than Chu Qian, and I'll trust you unconditionally, whatever you want to do!"

"But I can't leave here, right?"

Mengxuan said sarcastically. She didn't understand why the other party had suddenly become so amiable.

"Who says you can't?" Awei said meaningfully, "As long as you look into my eyes and swear that you have indeed submitted, I'll let you go immediately!"

"Really? That's easy!"

Mengxuan said, looking at Awei, her lips parted as if she wanted to say something, but her face turned red unnaturally. After a while, she stammered, "I... I really... submit..."

As she spoke, she subconsciously looked away.

"That doesn't count! You weren't looking me in the eye!"

"I...I really...surrender..."

"That doesn't count!"

Meng Xuan repeated "I" several times, her pretty face turning bright red. Finally, she shook her head desperately, giving up helplessly.

Awei laughed loudly: "Am I right? Xiao Xuan, you're not one to lie..."

"Don't call me 'Xiao Xuan,' that's not a name for you! Just call me 'Xuan Nu'!"

Meng Xuan was clearly going all out, her eyes wide open, completely reverting to the defiant look she had when she was first captured.

"Alright, Xuan Nu! I know what you want to say..." Awei lit a cigarette, leisurely exhaling a puff of smoke. "Only your most respected 'Sister Shi' and your most beloved 'Ayu' can call you 'Xiao Xuan,' right? Ha, ha, it's just a pity that these two hypocrites don't deserve your respect at all! They have already betrayed you! One betrayed your trust, and the other betrayed your love..."

"Shut up, stop trying to sow discord! I already said last time that Ayu's decision not to let Sister Shi sacrifice herself to exchange for me was the right one! That proves nothing. If I were in that situation, I would have done the same!" "

Is that so? Ha, but your Ayu and Sister Shi have already had a physical relationship. Do you still think there's 'no problem'?"

"You're talking nonsense! You devil, I will never believe such a lie!"

"Then I'll show you the evidence!"

Awei said, stubbing out his cigarette, going out to bring back a laptop, placing it in front of Meng Xuan, turning it on, and pointing to a binder.

"I copied this from Wang Yu's computer, open your eyes and take a look!"

After saying that, Awei opened one of the pictures with an image viewer. Meng Xuan stared at it, and all the blood in her body rushed to her brain!

It was a picture of Wang Yu and Shi Binglan naked, "having sex"! In the picture, Shi Binglan was lying on the ground with her buttocks raised high, while Wang Yu was penetrating her from behind!

"No, this isn't real!" Meng Xuan screamed instinctively, "You faked it! That's right, it must have been created using a 'head swap' technique!"

"Head swap? I don't have time for that! Look more closely, you and Wang Yu are lovers after all, even if you haven't had sex, you should know some of his physical characteristics!"

Awei deliberately reminded her. Actually, he didn't need to say it, Meng Xuan had already seen it, the picture was indeed Wang Yu himself, from head to body—Wang Yu had a clear birthmark on his back and buttocks, a feature that very few people knew, and the pervert would never have found out.

Her heart sank, and her desperate gaze fell upon the image of Shi Binglan. However, Shi Binglan's usual attire was always conservative; she had never exposed any skin or figure. Meng Xuan wasn't sure if the nude figure in the image was actually Shi Binglan!

She could only stare intently at the neck area, hoping to spot any signs of manipulation, but she couldn't find anything. If the image was indeed fake, the image editor's skills were superb, even the smallest details were perfectly altered, making it impossible to distinguish with the naked eye.

Wang Yu was a master of computer image editing; Meng Xuan had seen him work on it many times. If the pervert wasn't lying, and the image was indeed copied from Wang Yu's computer, then it must be his own "masterpiece"!

Of course, it's also possible that the pervert directly used Wang Yu's nude photos to create a fake image, but Wang Yu's pose in this picture is very natural, posing in an extremely indecent rear-entry sexual position. It's very strange to take a picture in this position alone; and judging from the intoxicated and excited expression on his face, it's certain that he was indeed immersed in passionate fantasies when the picture was taken... All these unique factors determine that the possibility of the pervert creating such a realistic picture is probably extremely slim.

—How could A-Yu do this... Even if he didn't have a relationship with Sister Shi, what's the point of creating such a picture?

Meng Xuan felt a heart-wrenching pain, and her nose tingled, almost bringing tears to her eyes.

"The man in the photo is A-Yu, but the woman must be photoshopped!" she said, forcing back her grief. "I know Sister Shi; she would never agree to take such lewd photos..."

"To be honest, I also hope this picture is photoshopped! Hmph, you know how much I crave to possess Sister Shi. Seeing pictures of her having lewd acts with other men makes me even more furious than you are!"

A-Wei roared fiercely, seemingly suddenly agitated as well.

"Are you absolutely certain that the woman in this picture isn't Sister Shi?"

"I don't know! I don't know!" Meng Xuan finally choked up, "I haven't seen Sister Shi undress, how would I know if it's her!"

"Look here!" A-Wei pointed to a spot in the picture, "This body has a small mole between the navel and the vulva. Does Sister Shi have one?"

"I said I don't know! Don't ask me anymore, I don't know anything!"

Meng Xuan was almost exploding, covering her eyes with her hands, tears welling up between her fingers.

Awei secretly chuckled, but outwardly feigned righteous indignation, unleashing a torrent of curses.

He knew perfectly well that the image was a composite. His initial reaction upon seeing it was one of shock and anger, but after carefully reviewing the video of Shi Binglan's half-naked body after removing her police uniform, he finally realized that although Wang Yu had perfectly retouched the woman's body, even copying the bra strap marks on her shoulders and the mole below her navel, there were still many differences.

Therefore, this image was merely a carefully crafted creation by Wang Yu to satisfy his sexual fantasies! A simple scan and analysis by a computer expert would reveal all the flaws!

However, at this moment, Meng Xuan couldn't possibly have the opportunity to analyze the picture. Although she didn't quite believe that her trusted female boss and lover would do such a thing, the picture had still shocked her greatly, leaving a painful knot in her heart. As long as this knot was planted in her heart, Awei's goal would have been achieved!

"No matter what, I don't believe Sister Shi would do such a thing with Ayu!"

Meng Xuan murmured again, as if trying to convince both herself and others.

"You're really infatuated! But you really don't understand men at all!" Awei shook his head and sighed. "Let me tell you, a man will always instinctively protect the woman he's been with at a crucial moment! The reason Wang Yu chose Sister Shi over you last time was precisely for this reason... Okay, if it was just once, it could be said to be a coincidence, so let's do another test..."

He seemed confident, as if everything was within his expectations, and a sly smile appeared on his lips as he spoke. At 5 a.m., an emergency meeting was held at the F City Criminal Investigation Bureau. All project team members were present, and even Director Zhao had crawled out of bed to attend.

" Let me first give you an update!" Li Tianming said, his voice unusually tense. "Half an hour ago, the duty room received a call from a perverted sex fiend. He claimed he wanted to release Meng Xuan, but on the condition of exchanging her for Lin Suzhen!" Director Zhao blurted out, "Has this bastard gone mad? We absolutely cannot agree to such a condition!" Sitting next to him, Shi Binglan's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she remained silent. "Yes, yes, this condition is indeed absurd!" Li Tianming first echoed with a forced smile, then continued, "But the pervert has more to say. He said he made this request out of good intentions, because Lin Suzhen's life is in danger at any time, and he is the only one who can save her..." " How to save her? Continue to inject Lin Suzhen with drugs?" Wang Yu interjected with a cold smile, his face ashen. To everyone's surprise, Li Tianming nodded and said, "Three days ago, during the provincial expert consultation, everyone admitted that the 'withdrawal' therapy had basically failed. Lin Suzhen's current condition is indeed extremely bad. The experts' opinion is that, if possible, we can consider continuing to inject her with the medication. Although this will worsen her addiction, it will relieve her body from the torment of pain, so the burden on her heart won't be too heavy, at least enough to save her life in the short term. Only then can we adopt a new therapy to completely cure her heart disease before considering the issue of withdrawal again..." Director Zhao glanced at him unhappily: "What do you mean? Are we really going to send Lin Suzhen back to the sex offender, to let her continue to be humiliated and raped? What will public opinion think of our police station?" "That's not what I meant... Sigh!" Li Tianming carefully chose his words, "I just feel that if something unexpected happens to Lin Suzhen, our situation might become even more passive..." Director Zhao was speechless for a moment. Shi Binglan frowned, finally unable to hold back her words: "An exchange is definitely out of the question! I think what we should be considering now is how to take advantage of this opportunity to contact the pervert and catch him in one fell swoop!" "Well said! That's what a criminal investigator should say!" Director Zhao slapped his thigh, giving Shi Binglan an approving look. "Of course, of course, catching the pervert is definitely our first choice!" A hint of jealousy flashed in Li Tianming's eyes, but he quickly said, "I'm just considering that the pervert is so cunning, if the capture fails, where exactly can we compromise our bottom line..." "The bottom line is that under no circumstances can Lin Suzhen be returned to the pervert!" Director Zhao said decisively, paused, and then added, "Of course, we can pretend to agree to the pervert's request first, arrange a place for an exchange with him, and then try to catch him on the spot!" Li Tianming nodded in agreement. The officers then discussed their plan of action. Although the sex offender hadn't specified the location or method of the exchange, they were experienced in many such situations and had a number of routine arrangements that could be prepared in advance. There were also some details that needed to be clarified beforehand to avoid being caught off guard. One of the biggest questions was whether Lin Su-zhen should actually be taken along for the exchange.

Most of the project team members believed that Lin Suzhen absolutely had to be brought along, otherwise the pervert would never have shown up. However, a small number of people expressed concern, as the exchange process would inevitably be fraught with risks, and given Lin Suzhen's serious illness, no one could bear the responsibility if something went wrong. Just

as the heated debate was underway, the phone rang. Li Tianming stood up to answer it, his expression immediately turning grave. He loudly relayed to everyone, "The pervert called again! He gave us an ultimatum: if we don't agree to the exchange, he'll kill Meng Xuan in an hour and then tell us to collect the body!"

A murmur of shock rippled through the group, all of them displaying anger.

Li Tianming continued, "If we agree to the exchange, the pervert says we have to follow his instructions and bring Lin Suzhen to the McDonald's across from the intersection of Shinan Street within forty minutes. There's a public phone booth there, and he'll call to tell us the exact exchange location! Finally, the pervert insisted that the police could only send two people to the meeting, and these two people must be..."

He deliberately emphasized his words, slowly saying, "Captain Shi and Wang Yu!"

All eyes turned to Shi Binglan and Wang Yu. The two seemed completely unsurprised, their expressions calm. The only difference was that Wang Yu's eyes were bloodshot, as if flames were burning in his pupils.

"You son of a bitch! Trying this trick again!"

Director Zhao slammed his fist on the table, roaring angrily.

Wang Yu stood up abruptly: "Director, please give the order! I'll go with the captain, and I'm confident we can complete the mission. We not only want to rescue Xiao Xuan, but also capture the pervert alive!"

Director Zhao's face darkened, and he said sternly, "I've heard enough grand pronouncements! Now, I'd rather hear your most cautious, conservative advice..."

"Understood, then I'll be conservative!" Shi Binglan said calmly, "This mission, capturing the pervert is secondary; protecting Lin Suzhen and rescuing Xiao Xuan as much as possible are the top priorities! If even this goal is difficult, then at the very least, I will do my best to bring Lin Suzhen back safe and sound!"

Wang Yu was stunned and called out "Captain," but before he could finish, she silenced him with a stern look.

The room fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Director Zhao, awaiting his final decision.

Director Zhao hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care if you try your best or not, I only care about the result! Let me put it this way, whether the pervert is caught or not, whether Meng Xuan is rescued or not, it doesn't matter. But if anything happens to Lin Suzhen, neither of you can be police officers for the rest of your lives!"

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Choice is So Cruel

At 6:20 a.m., the sky was already showing the first light of dawn.

In front of the McDonald's at the south intersection of F City, a police van sped over from a distance and screeched to a halt next to a public phone booth.

The doors opened on both sides, and Shi Binglan and Wang Yu jumped out. As soon as they entered the phone booth, a piercing ringtone sounded.

Shi Binglan reached for the phone: "Hello!"

"Great, Grandma Shi! You're right on time!" A grating, hoarse fake voice came from the receiver, chuckling, "This is our second date, I hope it'll be even more enjoyable than the last one..."

"Enough nonsense! I've brought the person, so where are we exchanging places?"

"Before you tell me the location, you and your gigolo assistant, please take out all your cell phones, communicators, and other communication devices and throw them in the trash can over there! I'm warning you, don't try anything funny, or you'll regret it!"

Shi Binglan replied without hesitation, "Okay, no problem!"

She winked at Wang Yu, and the two immediately took out their phones and removed the communicators hidden in their collars, throwing them into the nearby trash can.

Shi Binglan picked up the phone again: "I've done as instructed. Now you should tell me the location!"

"Don't rush, I'll tell you! Now, please stand in the middle of the road, stop the first car you encounter, and tell the driver you are police officers on a mission and urgently need his vehicle..."

This was an impolite request, but Shi Binglan agreed without hesitation, directing Wang Yu to drive the police van onto the road and block traffic.

It was still dark, and there were very few cars on the road. Half a minute later, a taxi drove up, stopped, and the driver leaned out, about to start cursing, but upon seeing two men and women in police uniforms, he immediately swallowed his curses.

Wang Yu rushed over, showed his police ID, and said a few words to the driver. It was clear the driver was unwilling and wanted to argue, but Wang Yu quickly and almost roughly pulled the driver out and got into the driver's seat himself.

Shi Binglan picked up the phone again: "The car has been changed!"

"Very good, get to the lobby of the Overseas Chinese Hotel within twenty minutes!"

She hung up after saying that.

Shi Binglan put down the phone, helped Lin Suzhen out of the police car, and got into a taxi. Wang Yu stepped on the gas, and the car sped off like lightning.

The three of them remained silent the whole way, the atmosphere heavy and suffocating.

"Number 1, Number 1, this is Number 2, I just spotted your empty car... Has the situation changed? Are you in any trouble? Please answer!"

Suddenly, Li Tianming's deep voice came from a hidden miniature communicator installed in her ear. Shi Binglan was startled and quickly reached out to press her left cheek, whispering, "Everything is normal. Over!"

Then she gently fiddled with the communicator buried deep in her hair, turning the volume down to the minimum, and glanced at Lin Suzhen through the rearview mirror. She saw the latter looking at her with concern, listening intently.

Shi Binglan felt uneasy, inwardly cursing Li Tianming for his impatience.

Before she and Wang Yu set off, several communicators had been implanted in their bodies. Shi Binglan had no objection to this arrangement; after all, her experience of meeting the sex offender alone at the "Black Panther" dance hall had taught her a lesson. She fully understood that going it alone was unwise, especially against such a ruthless and cunning opponent; the support of her colleagues was crucial.

Therefore, although the sex offender had ordered only her and Wang Yu to come, a large number of elite officers were still deployed simultaneously, ready to provide the strongest support if needed.

However, Shi Binglan made only one request: to avoid contacting her unless absolutely necessary. She should seize the opportunity to report the situation and seek support from her colleagues unilaterally. This was to prevent the sex offender from discovering any flaws in their plan. Shi Binglan had anticipated that the sex offender would demand she and Wang Yu disable all communication devices. She was even prepared to be forced to change into clothes provided by the sex offender, just like she had been at the "Black Panther" dance hall. Therefore, she hid one of her miniature communicators behind her hair; even if the other communicators were confiscated, as long as this one remained, the police would be invincible.

Unexpectedly, Li Tianming acted so recklessly, contacting her as soon as the situation changed slightly. He probably thought that since they hadn't met the sex offender yet, contacting him wouldn't hurt. However, Shi Binglan instinctively felt that Lin Suzhen, sitting in the car, was a potential danger! This call was tantamount to revealing her hand, which could be a fatal mistake.

From the beginning, Shi Binglan was wary of this woman, who had been brainwashed by the sex offender and called him her "master." She had initially assumed that Lin Suzhen, facing "life-threatening danger," would be in a state of near-death, struggling to move. However, to everyone's surprise, when I picked her up from the hot spring sanatorium, Lin Suzhen's spirits and physical strength were much better than expected, and she did not look like a patient suffering from the torment of addiction.

The attending physician also found this strange, saying that Lin Suzhen had been worryingly ill the night before, so how could she have suddenly recovered overnight? However, due to time constraints, the doctor didn't have time to investigate the cause and hastily sent Lin Suzhen away. Shi Binglan initially didn't think much of it, after all, it was a medical matter. But now, upon closer reflection, there seemed to be some subtle suspicious points.

—Lin Suzhen's "sudden" improvement, and the pervert's "sudden" proposal to exchange her at that very moment, as if they had a tacit understanding, was it really just a coincidence?

Shi Binglan recalled Li Tianming saying at the meeting that the experts believed that continuing to inject Lin Suzhen with medication could temporarily relieve her suffering. Could it be that Lin Suzhen's sudden improvement was precisely because of this?

—No, that's impossible! Lin Suzhen had been under strict guard; apart from medical staff and consulting experts, no outsider could possibly approach her! Unless, the pervert had bribed one of those insiders…

This thought stirred something in Shi Binglan's mind, but before she could seriously consider it, the car had already stopped in front of the Overseas Chinese Hotel.

The three of them got out of the car and had just entered the hotel lobby when they heard a receptionist at the counter look up and call out loudly, “Which one of you is Ms. Shi? Is Ms. Shi here…? I have your phone number!”

Shi Binglan's face immediately turned bright red. Wang Yu flew into a rage, leaping over and slamming his hand on the counter, shouting, "Watch your mouth!"

The woman trembled, her voice shaking, "That's what they said! I asked them repeatedly, and they said it was that name..."

Wang Yu was about to continue, but Shi Binglan had no time to argue. She waved him off and asked, "Where's the phone?"

The woman handed him a receiver with a wronged expression. Shi Binglan took it and said coldly, "We've arrived!"

Awei's smug laughter came through the receiver: "Very good. Call Lin Suzhen over; I want to say a few words to her!"

Shi Binglan inwardly cursed, but could only hand the receiver to Lin Suzhen. She took a step back, reached into her hair, and pulled out the only miniature communicator, removing it from her clothes.

Wang Yu exclaimed, "Captain, what happened..."

Before he could finish, Lin Suzhen, holding the receiver, called out joyfully, "Master!" and then proceeded to explain the situation in detail.

Wang Yu suddenly realized that Lin Suzhen was not only the target the pervert wanted to take back, but also a pawn he had set up to monitor him and Shi Binglan! All the police's arrangements here would be completely destroyed by this pawn!

The pervert was indeed too cunning!

-- It seemed that the pervert's earlier insistence on changing cars was because he was worried that there were other communication devices installed on the police car, and the next step might be to force them to change all their clothes... Fortunately, the captain seemed to have anticipated this crisis and had secretly prepared a targeted remedial measure. Now it was just a matter of luck...

"Hey, Shi Danai! Master wants to talk to you!"

Lin Suzhen's voice interrupted Wang Yu's tense thoughts. He looked up and saw Lin Suzhen handing the microphone back to Shi Binglan while snatching the miniature communicator from her hand with her other hand and throwing it on the ground, stomping on it heavily.

Shi Binglan seemed oblivious, calmly speaking into the microphone, "I really don't have any communication devices on me right now. If you don't believe me, you can have Lin Suzhen search us!"

"No need for that, hahaha! I'll find a way to continue testing you... Alright, enough chit-chat. From this moment on, you'll follow Lin Suzhen's orders. She'll bring you to me! However, apart from answering questions about directions, you're not allowed to say anything else to her, otherwise this meeting will be canceled immediately! Listen carefully, don't try anything funny. This is your last chance! Hmph, better watch yourself!"

Because Awei's voice was extremely loud, Wang Yu, standing next to him, heard the entire conversation clearly. He was so angry his nose almost twisted, but Shi Binglan remained unmoved, waving her hand at Wang Yu, who then suppressed his anger and calmed down.

"Alright, you both heard what the master said. From now on, you two will follow my orders!"

Lin Suzhen waved her hand proudly, her face flushed, looking excited and happy, like a child playing house. Perhaps in her childlike mind, she thought she was just playing a game. She had no idea that the two sides on the other end of the phone were engaged in a fierce and dangerous struggle!

Shi Binglan smiled faintly: "I will follow your orders. Please lead the way!"

So, the three of them left the Overseas Chinese Hotel and went to a secluded spot where Lin Suzhen did a quick search. Wang Yu's communicator, as well as his and Shi Binglan's sidearms, were found and thrown into a sewer. Then, Wang Yu drove the taxi away quickly.

For the next half hour, under Lin Suzhen's "instructions," Wang Yu was forced to drive to three different locations, each time in a different car. These cars were all driven by passersby, and were unlucky enough to be temporarily "requisitioned" by the police simply because they happened to be there.

Clearly, the sex offender, through Lin Suzhen, was directing Shi Binglan and Wang Yu to drive around the city in circles, aiming to test whether they had truly shaken off the backup officers.

This method, though old-fashioned, was undeniably effective. Initially, Wang Yu would occasionally brush past his colleagues' cars, but as the number of rounds and car changes increased, he gradually stopped encountering any of his colleagues' vehicles. Wang Yu was extremely worried, but helpless. With Lin Suzhen monitoring him, he couldn't wave or stop to call out to his colleagues; he could only watch helplessly as they were left far behind.

At 7:10, Wang Yu, driving a newly requisitioned Audi, stopped in front of several buildings under construction.

This was a remote area in the old city redevelopment zone of F City. Three buildings were nearing completion, but the last one was only a skeleton. Since it wasn't yet working hours, the construction site was deserted, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

The three got out of the car one by one. Wang Yu and Shi Binglan stayed close to Lin Suzhen, their expressions wary, prepared for any potential accidents.

"Finally here! This is the meeting place Master mentioned!"

Lin Suzhen said, pointing to the last building whose skeleton was just beginning to be erected, and walked over first.

Shi Binglan and Wang Yu followed closely behind, turning past a half-finished wall. The scene that came into view made them stop in their tracks, their hearts pounding wildly!

In the faint light of dawn, they saw Meng Xuan, completely naked, bound to a thick, round pillar supporting the building! Her petite, naked body, like a tender lamb awaiting sacrifice, was firmly chained with thick, black iron chains. Her round, firm breasts were bound red from the chains, and at least a dozen places on her body were wrapped with electrical wires and hung with black, spherical objects, each with a small, flashing red light.

"Xiao Xuan!"

Wang Yu exclaimed, rushing to her side, but Shi Binglan grabbed him. Meng Xuan was also looking up, her eyes filled with tears and her face filled with anxiety. Her lips were sealed with thick duct tape, and she seemed to want to say something but couldn't make a sound, only shaking her head anxiously.

"Ayu, calm down! Xiao Xuan is strapped with bombs! Your recklessness will only harm her!"

Shi Binglan warned Wang Yu in a deep voice, while her eyes warily scanned their surroundings. It was a very large, spacious area, filled with construction equipment, bricks, and cement, but there was nowhere to hide a living person. The pervert was clearly not here.

Wang Yu noticed this too and exclaimed in horror, "Captain, could this be a trap? Is the pervert's real intention to lure us here to be blown up together?"

"I don't think so!" Shi Binglan said confidently, "If the pervert wanted to blow us up, he could have dressed Meng Xuan and hidden the explosives inside, then detonated them when we got close to her. There was no need for us to see the explosives from this distance!" "

Then... what is the pervert trying to do? To scare us?"

"I don't know either. Judging from this situation, perhaps the pervert doesn't want to get close to us yet and is preparing to play other tricks..."

Just as she said this, a pleasant cell phone rang.

Wang Yu looked in the direction of the sound and noticed a cell phone on the ground not far from his feet. He was about to pick it up when Lin Suzhen bent down and picked it up first, pressing the answer button.

"Master? Yes, it's me! Okay, please wait a moment! I'll call Grandma Shi right away..."

Without waiting for further elaboration, Shi Binglan snatched the phone from behind. Lin Suzhen was startled and nearly fell into Shi Binglan's arms.

Shi Binglan steadied Lin Suzhen with one hand, then held the phone close to her cheek with the other, coldly saying, "What do you mean by this?"

"Nothing much, hehe, I just don't trust you police, so I have to be extra careful."

"So you're so afraid you don't even have the courage to show yourself, only daring to contact me through the phone?" Shi Binglan's tone was full of sarcasm. "Last time we met, you were quite courageous, acting like a man. Why are you such a coward this time? You really disappoint me!"

"Hmph, stop trying to provoke me, it won't work!" Awei's voice was still as cold and ruthless as ever. "What does it matter whether I show myself or not? I've already placed Meng Xuan in front of you, which shows my sincerity in the exchange. But I don't know if you're truly sincere, or if you're trying to play tricks during the exchange. So, as long as you get Lin Suzhen out of here first, I guarantee this bomb won't explode. When Lin Suzhen reaches the safe location I designate, I will remotely detonate the detonator, and you can safely take Meng Xuan away!"

Wang Yu had already pressed his head close to the phone, and upon hearing these words, he roared, "That's impossible! I'm warning you, disarm the explosives on Xiao Xuan right now! If she loses even a single hair, I won't forgive you..."

"Hahaha, she's already missing a lot of hair, more than just a single hair..."

Awei let out a lewd laugh on the other end of the phone. Wang Yu was furious, but he still managed to control himself from cursing, looking at Shi Binglan and waiting for her to make a decision.

"I understand your concerns," Shi Binglan's voice remained calm. "But what if you break your promise after I let Lin Suzhen leave? I won't be able to trust you then either!"

"How could that be? With you and Wang Yu here, even if I wanted to back out, I couldn't kidnap Meng Xuan!"

"But you can still use her life to threaten us, forcing us to make way..."

"Please! Open your eyes and look carefully, okay? Meng Xuan has so many explosives on her body, and she's tied to a pillar. Any slight movement will cause it to explode. Even I wouldn't dare to untie her without detonating the explosives! How do you think I could kidnap her?"

Shi Binglan thought to herself, that makes sense, and fell into a deep thought.

"I need to think about it..."

"Okay, take your time. But I have to remind you, although this bomb can be remotely deactivated, it's set to a timer. If you spend too much time thinking about it, the explosives might detonate automatically before Lin Suzhen even reaches the location I specified. Don't blame me then!"

"Extortion!"

Wang Yu's face turned ashen with anger, and he cursed bitterly.

Shi Binglan moved her phone away, pressed her hand against the speaker, and turned to Wang Yu, saying, "Yu, do you think we should take this risk?"

Her eyes were clear as water. Wang Yu was taken aback at first, then understood. Because in the captain's eyes, he and Meng Xuan were lovers, so she couldn't bear to make the decision for him.

In that instant, Wang Yu's mind was in turmoil, and he was caught in a deep contradiction.

Although his feelings for Meng Xuan weren't romantic love, they were genuine care from the bottom of his heart. If the pervert was only threatening him, he would really be willing to pay any price to save Meng Xuan. However, now that Shi Binglan is present, the first thing to consider is whether his choice will be detrimental to her!

"I...I don't know how to put it, Captain!" Wang Yu stammered, tapping his head in frustration. "But, didn't Director Zhao say that the most important task of this operation isn't anything else, but ensuring that Lin Suzhen is brought back safely..."

This undoubtedly indicated that he did not agree to the pervert's demands! Because if Lin Suzhen were to leave, even if Meng Xuan were rescued, Shi Binglan would have lost the game and would be permanently dismissed, losing her career; but if she refused the pervert's demands, she could at least protect Lin Suzhen, and although she wouldn't be able to rescue Meng Xuan, she would have met the "minimum" requirement promised to Director Zhao, which could be considered a draw.

Shi Binglan naturally understood this as well. She seemed somewhat surprised that Wang Yu would make such a choice, glared at him, and said in a reproachful tone, "Yu, how could you say that? Can you bear to watch Xiao Xuan be blown to pieces?"

Wang Yu felt ashamed at her words and subconsciously glanced at Meng Xuan. He saw that she had obviously heard and understood the meaning of the conversation, her big eyes staring blankly at him, her pretty face pale.

Wang Yu felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle, and he dared not meet Meng Xuan's gaze again.

Shi Binglan, however, had already picked up the phone again and said, word by word, "I've thought it over, I'll do as you say!"

"Ha, you really know what's good for you! Give the phone to Lin Suzhen, I still have something to say to her!"

After the phone was handed over, Lin Suzhen seemed even more excited, her pretty face flushed as she listened attentively to the instructions coming from the other end. Shi Binglan and Wang Yu also pricked up their ears, trying hard to catch the faint sounds emanating from the vehicle. They vaguely heard the other person say that an empty car had been arranged behind the construction site, and Lin Suzhen needed to go there immediately, drive the car away quickly, and wait for them at another location…

Just as they finished speaking, Lin Suzhen suddenly turned around and scolded, “Master told you not to eavesdrop! Get away from me!”

The two had no choice but to step back a few steps, watching helplessly as Lin Suzhen and the lecherous man engaged in an intimate conversation, not knowing what they were saying next.

Shi Binglan suddenly said, “Yu, how do you think the lecherous man knew we were standing so close and eavesdropping on his conversation with Lin Suzhen?”

Wang Yu’s expression changed. He thought there was only one explanation: although the lecherous man hadn’t shown himself, he could see everything that was happening here! But the question was, where exactly was he hiding, secretly watching them?

The area was surrounded by high walls on three sides, with the only open view being the direction they had come from. It was deserted, not a soul in sight, except for the Audi that had driven in, parked alone.

Behind the Audi stood three nearly completed buildings. Could the pervert be hiding inside one of them?

Wang Yu was about to speak when he saw Shi Binglan slightly shake her hand. Understanding her meaning, he pretended to continue glaring at Lin Suzhen while glancing around out of the corner of his eye.

It was already 7:30, bright daylight, and the sun was rising, its rays slanting in from the east, illuminating the messy, dirty construction site.

Suddenly, Wang Yu sensed a blinding flash of light from the building diagonally opposite him!

He initially paid no attention, but a few seconds later, another flash of light streaked past!

Wang Yu suddenly realized that someone was clearly spying on him from inside the building with high-powered binoculars, the shimmering light caused by the reflection of sunlight through the lenses!

His heart pounded, and he was about to cough to warn Shi Binglan when he saw her nod slightly, clearly having noticed the phenomenon as well.

—That's right, the pervert was hiding in that building!

Wang Yu knew perfectly well what was going on, but outwardly remained calm while secretly observing intently with his peripheral vision. When the reflected light flashed past again, he had already pinpointed the exact location of the light source—approximately one of the rooms near the window on the third floor!

"Thank you both for bringing me here. I'm leaving now, goodbye!"

After listening to the pervert's instructions, Lin Suzhen returned the phone to Shi Binglan and happily left. A moment later, the faint roar of an engine could be heard in the distance, indicating that she had escaped in the car the pervert had prepared for her.

Wang Yu was secretly anxious. Although he had now figured out the pervert's hiding place, his and Shi Binglan's every move was under his surveillance. Catching him suddenly by surprise was virtually impossible. He feared that before they even rushed into the building across the street, the pervert would have already escaped, potentially endangering Xiao Xuan's life!

Wang Yu racked his brains for a solution, but couldn't come up with a perfect one. Meanwhile, Shi Binglan and Awei continued their conversation on the phone.

"Alright, business is temporarily over. My dear Grandma Shi, now we can have a little chat..."

"I have nothing to talk about with you!"

"Oh dear, don't be so cold! Don't you want to talk about anything?"

"Yes!"

"You don't even want to know about your sister?"

Shi Binglan's arm trembled almost imperceptibly, but her voice remained calm, as if she were talking to someone unrelated: "No!"

The person on the other end of the line was momentarily speechless. Clearly, Awei was surprised by this answer. He had originally hoped to use Shi Xianglan to attack the female police captain, inflicting anger, grief, and emotional instability upon her. This would give him a perverse pleasure and significantly impact Shi Binglan's fighting spirit and judgment, thus increasing the chances of success in his subsequent plans.

However, Shi Binglan seemed to see through his scheme, flatly rejecting Awei's "well-intentioned suggestion," leaving him feeling powerless. Although he could proactively inform Shi Xianglan of the situation, this would reverse the dynamic, making it seem as if he were begging Shi Binglan to know the details. The intensity of his attack and the force of his words would be greatly weakened, making it unlikely to have any effect on someone as resolute as Shi Binglan.

In this first round of confrontation, the female police captain undoubtedly had the upper hand!

"Okay, let's change the subject!" Awei's voice quickly came through, chuckling, "I know you far better than you think, both your inner self and your alluring body. Sooner or later, you'll be completely naked before me! Do you believe me?"

"I really think you're pathetic..." Shi Binglan retorted with a cold laugh, "You don't even have the courage to stand before me, yet you have the audacity to speak so shamelessly. If you really want to see me naked, why don't you show yourself now? I can strip naked and wait for you right now, the question is, do you dare to come? Do you dare?"

"Captain!"

Wang Yu choked back tears, his heart aching terribly. He knew Shi Binglan's words were well-intentioned, her purpose still to "provoke" the pervert into showing himself up close, so that the two of them would have a chance to suddenly subdue each other. But even so, hearing that his goddess had to endure such humiliation to capture the enemy, he still felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

In truth, the old Shi Binglan would have rather died than utter words like "my naked body" or "I can strip naked." But the setbacks she had suffered since confronting the perverted sex fiend had made her more mature. She was more stable in terms of mentality, emotions, and will; like a resilient female eagle that had weathered a storm, she was becoming stronger.

In this second round of verbal sparring, Awei still hadn't won. His voice sounded angry and embarrassed as he coldly sneered, "To know what your naked body looks like, you don't necessarily have to see it with your own eyes. Ha, someone has already described every part of your body, every feature, to me personally, like the cute beauty mark below your navel and above your pubic hair! I wonder if that's accurate? Hahaha..."

These words struck Shi Binglan like a thunderclap, causing her pretty face to change color and filling her with inexplicable horror. She was always conservatively dressed, and the mole growing in such a private area was something only she knew about since childhood; even her sister Shi Xianglan and husband Su Zhongping might not have known. How did that lecherous man know?

Her mind raced. Although she had changed into sexy clothes at the "Black Panther" dance hall, only her breasts and thighs were exposed, and the lighting was very dim. Even if the lecherous man had X-ray vision and saw her naked body, he couldn't possibly have seen such a small mole below her navel. Therefore, this secret must have come from someone else!

—But who was that person? Although she never normally wears revealing clothes, there's always the possibility of accidental exposure during summer missions or workouts, perhaps unintentionally catching someone's eye... But this person must be someone she trusts, someone who's often around, hence this "eye candy"... Or perhaps a camera has been secretly installed in her bedroom or bathroom, and she's being spied on while changing or showering...

A flurry of thoughts rushed through her mind, causing Shi Binglan to start overthinking. Although she tried her best to remain calm, the shock she felt was overwhelming. She even genuinely felt like she'd been stripped naked, and a growing suspicion began to creep into her mind towards everyone around her.

In this third round of verbal sparring, she knew she had lost! At least, they couldn't deliver a strong counterattack to the pervert like in the previous two rounds…

Suddenly, Wang Yu, his face flushed and neck red, shouted, “You bastard, shut up! Lin Suzhen has been gone for so long, when are you going to let Xiao Xuan go?”

“Don’t rush me, I can deactivate the detonator right now.” Awei chuckled upon hearing Wang Yu’s shout, “But before that, I want to say a few words to Wang Yu. This is a private conversation between men, and you can’t let your mistress Shi hear it!”

Shi Binglan said coldly, “Should I cover my ears and avoid it?”

“That would be perfect!” Awei went along with it, “Walk thirty steps to the east, there’s a rubber earplug on the ground, pick it up and put it on, then stand with your back to Wang Yu. After I say those few words, I will deactivate Meng Xuan’s detonator!”

"Where the hell do you get all these tricks from? Are you plotting something again...?"

Wang Yu cursed angrily, but Shi Binglan stopped him again, handing him the phone and whispering, "Impulsiveness will only lead to disaster! You need to adapt to the situation!"

She then walked about twenty meters east and indeed saw a large earpiece on the ground. She picked it up, put it on, and stood still.

Wang Yu gritted his teeth, gripping the phone, and roared, "Alright, the captain did as you said. Spit it out!"

"Don't get agitated. I just wanted to confirm if you're willing to risk your life to save Meng Xuan."

"Of course I am!"

"Very good. Then go to Meng Xuan. I'll teach you how to disarm the explosive device. First, use a knife to cut a yellow wire on her body..."

Hearing the pervert suddenly become so cheerful, Wang Yu was somewhat incredulous, but he couldn't think too much about it at this point. He rushed to the large pillar, bent down to examine it closely, and sure enough, there was a yellow wire on Meng Xuan's bare chest.

Wang Yu held his phone in his left hand and took out a knife in his right, about to cut the wire, when suddenly Awei's voice came from the phone again: "Wait! I want to ask you another question. If Meng Xuan and Shi Danai were both in mortal danger, and you could only save one, who would you save?"

Because the voice was very loud, and Meng Xuan was so close, she heard these words clearly. Her tearful eyes lifted again, looking at Wang Yu with hope, as if all her love words were being spoken from her eyes.

But Wang Yu still didn't dare to look Meng Xuan in the eye, and angrily retorted: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you..."

As he spoke, he cut the wire with the knife. Then, just as he was about to ask about the next step, he suddenly heard a "tick-tock" sound coming from behind the pillar.

Wang Yu quickly peeked out and saw another wire connected to a miniature clock, displaying a countdown in seconds.

"28, 27, 26..."

"Unfortunately, you have to answer this question!" At the same time, Awei suddenly burst into laughter, "Let me tell you the truth, your slash not only didn't deactivate the explosive device, but it activated the timer. When the number reaches zero, it will blow your Xiaoxuan to bits!"

"Ah! You bastard!"

Wang Yu was shocked and furious, frantically trying to figure out what to do. He wanted to quickly untie the bonds and rescue Meng Xuan, but he was afraid of accidentally detonating the explosives.

"I haven't finished speaking yet! See that green button on that clock? As long as you keep pressing it, the entire explosive device will completely malfunction after it reaches zero!"

Wang Yu quickly pressed the green button with his thumb.

"21, 20, 19..."

"Oh, right, I also want to tell you that there's a small explosive device planted in the earphone that Grandma Shi is wearing now, and it will explode at the same time as Meng Xuan's. Now let's see how you answer the question with your actions! Hahaha..."

The phone hung up amidst the laughter! Wang Yu was terrified, his mind going completely blank for a moment!

"15, 14, 13..."

These few seconds felt like an eternity. Suddenly, Wang Yu leaped up and rushed towards Shi Binglan like an arrow, shouting wildly.

"Throw away the earphone! Captain, throw away the earphone!"

Unfortunately, the earphone was meant to block out noise, and Shi Binglan obviously didn't hear him, still standing with her back turned.

"9, 8, 7..."

Wang Yu was frantic, his speed reaching its limit as he shouted wildly!

"6, 5, 4..."

Meng Xuan stared blankly at her lover's departing figure, her expression filled with utter despair. She felt her heart dying…

“3, 2, 1…”

Shi Binglan finally noticed the unusual noise behind her, turned around abruptly, and took off her earphones. At the same time, Wang Yu rushed to her side, snatched the earphones, threw them away with all his might, and rolled over with her on the ground.

A faint “boom” was heard from Meng Xuan’s side. But five or six seconds passed without any sound from their side.

“What happened?”

Shi Binglan, pushed away from Wang Yu after being tackled to the ground, stood up in astonishment.

“Explosives! The pervert said… there were explosives in the earphones…”

Wang Yu said, still shaken and breathless.

“Where are the explosives? You’ve been tricked!”

Shi Binglan glared at him and ran quickly towards Meng Xuan.

Wang Yu followed closely behind, and from a distance, he could see that the large cylinder and Meng Xuan were both perfectly fine, showing no signs of an explosion. He was overjoyed and rushed over with Shi Binglan for a closer look. The "explosives" strapped to Meng Xuan's body had indeed detonated. She was covered in soot, but completely unharmed, only unconscious with her eyes closed.

It seemed the pervert had only set up harmless "blank bombs." Meng Xuan had merely been knocked unconscious by the shockwave, and neither Shi Binglan nor Meng Xuan had been in any real danger. The whole thing was just a prank!

Wang Yu first breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a strong sense of humiliation at being tricked.

"Bastard! I'll never forgive you!"

he roared furiously, leaping up again and running towards the building where the pervert was hiding.

"Ayu! Don't chase him…Ayu! Saving Xiao Xuan is the priority…"

Shi Binglan's voice called from behind, but Wang Yu, his eyes bloodshot, disobeyed his female boss for the first time in his life, still rushing headlong to fight the pervert.

Unbeknownst to him, as he ran past the Audi parked in the open space, a pair of gleaming eyes were secretly watching him from behind the car.

Those were Awei's eyes!

Watching Wang Yu's figure disappear into the entrance of the building across the street, a smug smile spread across Awei's ugly,狰狞 face.

So far, everything that had happened was almost exactly as he had predicted! And he was confident that what was about to happen next was also within his expectations—after Wang Yu rushed up the building, he would find only a pair of binoculars at the location where he had been spying, but no one else was there. He would definitely search every room in a fit of pique, trying to find the pervert.

In fact, Awei had never been in that building at all; the binoculars were merely there. He had already tested it two mornings ago, confirming that as long as the binoculars were placed in a specific position, sunlight would be reflected through the lenses onto the vicinity of the pillar where Meng Xuan was bound. This phenomenon would certainly attract the attention of Shi Binglan and Wang Yu, who would mistakenly believe that he was hiding there, unaware that they had fallen into a trap!

While the two were carefully observing the building, Awei seized the opportunity to emerge from another hiding place and stealthily approached the Audi. He then remained hidden beside the car, talking to the two while monitoring their movements.

The reason for going to such lengths to set up this trap was twofold: first, to force Wang Yu to make a cruel choice, witnessed by Meng Xuan; second, to win Meng Xuan back after this charade was over! Perhaps he could even kidnap Shi Binglan as well!

Awei's plan was that when Shi Binglan and Wang Yu discovered the so-called "explosives" were a hoax, if both of them angrily abandoned Meng Xuan and rushed to the building to grab him, he could easily take Meng Xuan away. The most likely scenario was that only one of them would go to grab him, while the other stayed behind to care for Meng Xuan. This way, both of them were isolated, while he, hiding in an unexpected place, had a very high chance of success in a sneak attack, allowing him to defeat them one by one and capture them in one fell swoop!

Now, the situation was exactly as Awei had predicted. Wang Yu rushed into the building to find someone, while Shi Binglan untied Meng Xuan and carried her quickly towards the Audi.

Awei crouched low, hiding on the other side of the car, watching from under the vehicle as the delicate black leather shoes approached. Then he heard the sound of the rear door opening.

He crouched low and tiptoed around to the back of the car, peeking out to see Shi Binglan helping the unconscious Meng Xuan into the car. Then she knelt down by the door, carefully securing Meng Xuan's body with the seatbelt.

This was an opportunity not to be missed! Awei took out a handkerchief soaked in anesthetic gas from his pocket and silently pounced on her. He grabbed Shi Binglan's shoulder from behind with his left hand and simultaneously slammed the handkerchief down on her head with his right.

Normally, anyone whose shoulder is grabbed would instinctively turn around, only to be met with a handkerchief covering their mouth and nose, losing consciousness in less than three seconds.

Unexpectedly, before Awei's hand even touched Shi Binglan's shoulder, she suddenly let out a sharp cry, her upper body leaning forward, her long right leg kicking backward with deadly accuracy, striking Awei squarely in the chest!

Awei screamed in pain, sent flying, crashing heavily into a pile of construction sand, covered in dust and looking utterly disheveled.

Realizing he'd been tricked, he rolled to the side in pain, grabbing a handful of sand and scattering it, while his right hand pulled a sharp knife from his pocket, instinctively slashing wildly backward.

A sharp, tearing sound rang out as the blade seemed to have struck something, but almost simultaneously, Awei was kicked hard in the back of the head. His vision went black, and he nearly fainted. He struggled to stay conscious, screaming as he swung the blade wildly, staggering back a few steps until the pain subsided and his vision returned.

Then he could see clearly that Shi Binglan was standing four or five meters away, her clear eyes coldly staring at him. Her police uniform was torn by the blade, the tear revealing glimpses of her black G-cup bra and a large expanse of fair skin, but she didn't appear to have suffered any serious injuries.

"Your little tricks might fool Wang Yu, but do you think I'd fall for it so easily?" Shi Binglan crossed her arms, her face full of disdain as she sneered. "Fool! You told me to walk twenty steps east, and as soon as I stopped, I realized that spot was a 'blind spot' that the building across the street couldn't see! At this crucial moment, how could you let me out of your sight? This means you're hiding somewhere else where you can see me! I played along, waiting for you to show yourself! Now, lay down your weapons and surrender! You've already lost this contest..."

Her arms couldn't cover her extremely full breasts at all; instead, because her arms were crossed, her half-naked, large breasts were pressed together, creating an even more spectacular sensuality. Although it was an unintentional glimpse of her cleavage, it was more alluring than deliberately flaunting her sexiness.

However, Awei had no heart to appreciate this scene. His face was ashen, and he drew his knife, assuming an offensive stance, but instead, he slowly retreated. After taking a few steps back, he suddenly turned around and stumbled out of the construction site, fleeing for his life through a nearby alley.

Shi Binglan didn't chase after him, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, she was unarmed, and in a real fight, she might not be able to defeat Awei. Although she had launched a preemptive strike and severely injured Awei twice, his sudden counterattack had almost wounded her. Fortunately, she dodged quickly and wasn't seriously injured on the spot. However, she was secretly alarmed, knowing that if she forced Awei into a desperate fight, she would have no chance of subduing him.

In fact, if Awei could remain calm and attack steadily with his knife, he might be able to subdue the unarmed Shi Binglan before Wang Yu returned, and still achieve his goal of kidnapping her and Meng Xuan!

Shi Binglan instantly grasped the situation, so instead of attacking, she deliberately spoke eloquently, using the confident demeanor and imposing authority of a victor as weapons to crush Awei's momentum. Coupled with Awei's injuries and panicked state, he was instinctively frightened and ran away.

If it were the Shi Binglan of the past, she would have chased after him relentlessly, even knowing she couldn't win, even at the cost of her own life. But now she deeply understood that acting rashly and recklessly was not advisable. Besides, she had already prepared a "pawn" to bring Awei back, who thought he had escaped.

This "pawn," to put it simply, was a signal tracking transmitter secretly planted on Lin Suzhen!

When Shi Binglan picked Lin Suzhen up from the sanatorium, she had already considered that her and Wang Yu's communication devices might have been cut off by the sex offender, and Lin Suzhen might willingly escape with him. To deal with this situation, the safest approach was to install a signal transmitter on Lin Suzhen herself, ensuring she wouldn't escape the police's grasp!

Therefore, with the assistance of the sanatorium nurses, Lin Suzhen unknowingly changed into a coat containing a miniature signal transmitter. What happened next was exactly as Shi Binglan had predicted—the sex offender carefully disabled all her and Wang Yu's communication devices, even forcing them to change cars, but failed to notice anything amiss with Lin Suzhen herself—a blind spot in human nature! Because the sex offender had successfully brainwashed Lin Suzhen, he completely trusted her, never suspecting that the "root of the problem" was hidden within her.

However, this signal transmitter wasn't a communication device and couldn't be used for dialogue; the police could only determine Lin Suzhen's location through signal tracking. But that was enough! If Lin Suzhen truly followed the pervert's instructions and went to the secluded location to meet him, then the police, with proper planning, could easily trap the pervert...

A moment later, Wang Yu returned, and after learning the situation, he was filled with shame. He slapped himself several times, then tried to drive after the pervert.

Shi Binglan waved her hand to stop him, telling him that the pervert had escaped through the alley ahead for a while, but the alley was too narrow for a car to enter, and chasing would be futile. She advised him to get Meng Xuan to the hospital as quickly as possible.

Wang Yu nodded in agreement and sped away in his Audi. Shi Binglan returned to the pillar and found the phone the pervert had left behind. She hurriedly contacted Li Tianming and gave a brief report of the entire incident.

"What? You actually let Lin Suzhen get away?" Li Tianming exclaimed. "Didn't Director Zhao give the order that Lin Suzhen absolutely cannot leave your sight, lest anything happen to her! How can you be so irresponsible?"

"I'm sorry, under those circumstances, I had no choice! If something really happened to her, I will take full responsibility!" Shi Binglan apologized sincerely first, then asked, "Where is Lin Suzhen now? Have you tracked her exact location?" "We

tracked her down a while ago. She's been loitering near the fountain in the city park. Our people are rushing there at full speed. We should find her in two minutes at most, and then immediately send her back to the sanatorium..."

"Wait a minute, Director Li! Don't do that yet!" Shi Binglan hurriedly said, "The pervert just escaped from me not long ago. He's probably already looking for Lin Suzhen to meet up with. We should not disturb Lin Suzhen for now, but send more people to cast an invisible net around the area, and catch the pervert when he falls into it!"

"Are you kidding, Captain Shi? If we don't get Lin Suzhen out of here safely now, what if the pervert takes her hostage?"

"No, the pervert trusts Lin Suzhen completely and has no intention of harming her. Besides, to avoid suspicion, he and Lin Suzhen will leave the park separately, one after the other, to avoid attracting attention. That will be the perfect opportunity for us to act..."

"No, that's too risky!" Li Tianming insisted. "Besides, getting Lin Suzhen out of here doesn't contradict your plan! The pervert won't know Lin Suzhen has been rescued, and our officers are still waiting there. We can catch him red-handed as soon as he shows up!"

"Director Li, the sex offender is extremely cunning," Shi Binglan could only continue to patiently persuade him. "He must have left a communication device for Lin Suzhen in the park, so they can exchange messages. He will only show himself to meet her when he is certain that Lin Suzhen is indeed waiting for him at the designated location and is not in any danger..."

Unfortunately, no matter how earnestly she pleaded, Li Tianming refused to agree. In the end, he even brought up his superiors, saying that according to instructions from higher-ups, Lin Suzhen's safety was far more important than whether or not the sex offender could be caught! In other words, he would rather let the sex offender escape than let anything happen to Lin Suzhen, even if the possibility of such a mistake was extremely small!

Shi Binglan was furious, but unable to vent her anger, so she could only compromise and say, "Then, how about we send someone to detain Lin Suzhen, but not to leave the spot, and try to get the code from her? As long as she's there and the code is right, maybe we can catch the pervert..."

Li Tianming hesitated for a moment and replied, "Let me ask my superiors first! Please wait a moment..."

This wait lasted a full ten minutes. Shi Binglan ran to the highway, flagged down a passing car and rushed to the scene, anxiously checking her watch repeatedly, feeling as if every second was an eternity, fearing that Lin Suzhen would be taken away by the police before her superiors gave the order.

"I just asked. The superiors' instructions are..." After a long pause, Li Tianming finally called, speaking slowly, "Lin Suzhen is ill. We should get her away from the pervert and danger as soon as possible, and send her back to the sanatorium without wasting a second!"

With a "clang," the phone slipped limply from Shi Binglan's hand, landing with a dull thud inside the car. The victory that seemed within her grasp had vanished! Her heart felt as if it had been struck a heavy blow, filled with utter disappointment, sadness, helplessness, and frustration. She slumped weakly in her seat, as if she could no longer muster

any strength. —If I had known this would happen, I should have chased after the pervert without hesitation! Maybe I would have caught him by now… Binglan, Binglan, what are you worried about, what are you afraid of? Don't you know? A solo adventure may easily lead to failure, but being too cautious will only cause you to miss opportunities!

The female police captain was filled with remorse. For a moment, the "individual heroism" that had been replaced by reason surged within her again. She secretly vowed that next time she faced a sex offender, no matter the risk, she would never waste such a precious opportunity again…

Chapter Twenty-Five: Just Lovers, Not Love

That evening, at F City Union Hospital.

Wang Yu, carrying flowers in one hand and a net bag of grapes in the other, walked towards a ward on the fifth floor of the inpatient building.

He stopped at the ward door, hesitating for a full half-minute before gently knocking.

A familiar, weak voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Wang Yu pushed open the door.

Meng Xuan, lying on the hospital bed, had just opened her eyes, but upon seeing him, she immediately closed them tightly again.

Wang Yu walked to the bedside, arranged the flowers, placed the fruit on the bedside table, and softly asked, "How are you feeling today? Any better?"

"I'm alright!"

Meng Xuan's voice was very soft. Her once healthy, rosy cheeks were now noticeably thinner and very pale.

Wang Yu looked down at her, a pang of sadness and heartache rising in his heart, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long while, he finally said, "These are your favorite grapes. I've washed them for you..."

"Thank you!"

Meng Xuan's attitude remained indifferent, but her tightly closed eyelashes trembled incessantly, clearly indicating that she was not at peace. An

awkward silence fell over the ward.

Wang Yu was somewhat at a loss for words. Meng Xuan had always been a lively and cheerful girl, her thoughts written all over her face. In the past, when the two of them were together, she would always chatter and laugh endlessly, and she was usually the one who started the conversation. Wang Yu mostly just listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words. This was the first time he had encountered a situation like this.

Suddenly, a crystal tear welled up in the corner of Meng Xuan's eye.

Wang Yu panicked and tried to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry, Xiao Xuan! Although you... were insulted by that devil, in my heart, you will always be as pure and lovely as before! Please don't feel ashamed because of this, okay? Once you're better, let's... get married!"

"Married? Why get married?" Meng Xuan suddenly opened her eyes. "Yu, are you pitying me?"

"Who said I'm pitying you? Aren't we lovers?"

"Lovers, hehe, lovers... then tell me the truth, do you really love me?"

"Of course I love you!"

"Please look me straight in the eyes and say it again!"

This was a trick the pervert had used before, and Meng Xuan unconsciously copied it. Then she found that this trick was indeed effective. Wang Yu looked into her eyes for less than a second before subconsciously lowering his head.

"I..."

"You don't need to say anything, Yu. I already know the answer..."

Tears welled up in Meng Xuan's eyes. She understood the words Wang Yu had hidden deep in his heart, words he dared not speak aloud.

—We are indeed lovers, and I will definitely marry you. But the love in my heart is not for you.

Just lovers, not love!

Seeing Meng Xuan's heartbroken appearance, Wang Yu also showed a pained expression. He slumped back two steps and sat down in a chair, silent.

Meng Xuan wiped away her tears and said softly, "Ayu, do you really...love Sister Shi that much? You'd even risk your life for her?"

"You...don't think like that, this has nothing to do with the captain. If you're in danger next time, I'll still risk everything to save you!"

"I believe that. But if something happens to me and Sister Shi together, you'll still abandon me to save her, right?"

"This...sigh, please stop dwelling on this, okay?" Wang Yu said, distressed. "You should know that this is a trap deliberately set by the pervert, designed to sow discord between us. You've always been a very sensible girl, why are you so hung up on this?"

"I just can't let it go!" Meng Xuan suddenly widened her eyes and screamed explosively, "You know what you've done! Since you love Sister Shi so much, go find her. I don't want to see you...go away! go away!"

As she spoke, she grabbed the net bag of grapes and threw it at him.

Wang Yu instinctively reached out to catch the grapes, but he was also a little angry. He snapped, "What have I done? Shi-jie and I are completely innocent. If you don't believe me, fine... Okay, you get some rest. I'll come see you again tomorrow!"

With that, he put the grapes down again and stormed out of the ward.

Meng Xuan watched his retreating figure disappear, then collapsed onto the bed and burst into tears. This was the first time in her life she had cried so bitterly. Even when she was raped and humiliated by a pervert, she had never cried so uncontrollably. She

didn't know how long she had been crying when suddenly the ward door was pushed open again, and female criminal police captain Shi Binglan quietly walked in.

Meng Xuan quickly covered her pretty face with the sheet, not wanting her to see her crying like this.

"What's wrong, Xiao Xuan? Did you and A-Yu have a fight?"

Shi Binglan sat down on the edge of the bed and gently stroked the back of Meng Xuan's head affectionately.

Meng Xuan tossed her head in a huff, "Go ask him!"

This was the first time she had spoken to Shi Binglan in this tone. Although it wasn't exactly a "sharp retort," it was still a clear rebuke.

Shi Binglan didn't mind and said gently, "Xiao Xuan, I know that A Yu's choice at that crucial moment hurt you... but in that situation, he..."

"Sister Shi, I'm not sad because he didn't come to save me!" Meng Xuan interrupted her, saying loudly, "I, Meng Xuan, am not the kind of selfish, cowardly, or demanding person! If it had been another innocent hostage in danger, and Wang Yu had chosen to save that person first, I would never have uttered a single complaint!"

Only then did Shi Binglan realize what Meng Xuan meant. It turned out that what she cared about wasn't who Wang Yu saved, but rather her jealousy.

"Xiaoxuan, aren't you being foolish? I've always only seen Ayu as a younger brother. Although he rushed to save me, couldn't you sense that he was prepared to die while abandoning you? If the bomb the pervert strapped to you was real, do you think he'd still be alive?"

Meng Xuan finally threw back the covers and poked her head out, her teary eyes wide with doubt: "You mean, he wanted to save you, but he'd die with me?"

"What do you think? You should know Ayu's personality better than I do!"

Meng Xuan thought for a moment, and although she was still somewhat doubtful, a smile finally appeared on her face.

Shi Binglan also smiled, continuing to gently comfort Meng Xuan. On the surface, she seemed perfectly normal, but in her heart, she was still slightly worried.

Of course, she knew that Wang Yu did indeed have feelings for her. Although she had dissuaded him when he confessed during his hospitalization, judging from the actual situation of this "choice," the knot deep in his heart was probably not completely untied. This is a situation where you can't offer too much advice or be too direct, otherwise it might backfire. Now, all you can do is hope that Wang Yu and Meng Xuan can understand and tolerate each other, gradually eliminating the misunderstandings and emotional rifts between them…

************

It was already noon, but the room was still quite dark. The airtight curtains completely blocked out the sunlight, making it feel like a sinister hell.

The head nurse's sobs echoed in this hellish atmosphere.

She knelt naked on the platform, her fair ankles firmly secured with leather, her arms cuffed behind her back, her full breasts forced high, a posture both shameful and alluring.

From late last night until now, Shi Xianglan had been kneeling for nearly eight hours; her knees had long since gone from aching to numb, and her wrists were almost raw.

However, what tormented her even more was her breasts. Having not expressed milk for a day and a night, her breasts were swollen with abundant milk, as if a hot current was constantly churning inside. The discomfort was indescribable.

"Ah, I'm going to die from swelling... I'm going to die from swelling..."

Shi Xianglan felt both ashamed and embarrassed. She desperately wanted to express all the milk immediately, but her hands were paralyzed. Unconsciously, she twisted her body frantically, as if to alleviate the pain. Her large, round breasts bounced up and down tremblingly.

With each rise and fall of her breasts, the swollen milk finally overflowed due to inertia. Tiny drops of milk slowly seeped from her two protruding nipples, dripping onto the udder.

Shi Xianglan disregarded her embarrassment and instinctively shook her breasts even more violently. Her full breasts swayed like two enormous containers, trying to make the milk drip out more and faster.

"Ha... Shameless big cow, what kind of woman are you?" Awei, who had been watching from the sidelines, laughed loudly, deliberately humiliating her. "Tie down and still shaking your breasts to seduce men, how lewd!"

After narrowly escaping capture and returning to his den of iniquity, he thought about how he had been utterly defeated by Shi Binglan again. Not only had he failed to achieve his ultimate goal of kidnapping her, but he had also failed to complete the basic task of rescuing Lin Suzhen. Even Meng Xuan had been rescued by her. It was a truly humiliating defeat! So he vented all his anger on the head nurse.

"Waaah..."

Shi Xianglan was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head, crying with tears streaming down her face, but her chest was still shaking uncontrollably.

Awei stood up and walked over with two plastic clips in his hand.

"You... what do you want to do now?"

the head nurse exclaimed in a trembling voice, her whole body shaking with fear. In her eyes, this man was more terrifying than a real devil, making her heart tremble with fear.

"You dare to leak milk without my permission! Hmph... Since you can leak, I'll plug it up for you!"

Awei grinned maliciously, grabbing one of Shi Xianglan's heavy, full breasts with his left hand, pinching the soft, snow-white flesh with his fingers, making the mature nipple protrude to its maximum extent.

"No, no... Please don't... Ouch!"

Amidst a shrill wail, the plastic clip cruelly clamped the delicate nipple, the pain causing Shi Xianglan to almost faint, her vision blurring.

Tears had barely welled up in her eyes when Awei swiftly moved to the other breast, clamping the nipple as well.

"Waaah... It hurts so much... Take the clips off... Waaah..."

Shi Xianglan cried and struggled, her face pale, trying to shake off the two clips on her chest, but it was all in vain, only making her look more miserable and pathetic.

Awei, however, clapped his hands excitedly, smugly admiring his masterpiece. Her nipples were pinched into a pitiful, flat shape, and the milk ducts in the middle could no longer overflow with milk; not a single drop could flow.

"Ah... please stop torturing me! Waaah, please..."

The head nurse's face turned pale, and she pleaded with the man, tears streaming down her face.

Awei chuckled, "As long as you admit you're a milk cow and call me 'master' from now on, I'll let you go immediately..."

Shi Xianglan's pretty face flushed red again. These were the most vulgar words she had ever heard in her life; just hearing them made her feel immense humiliation, let alone saying them herself.

"You won't say it?" Awei sneered, "Then you can continue to suffer!"

He sat back on the sofa, leisurely enjoying the suffering of this large-breasted beauty, his heart filled with perverse pleasure.

Time ticked by, the woman's wails and sobs echoing in the room for a long time...

Another half hour passed, and Shi Xianglan had cried all her tears. She felt that her nipples had completely lost sensation, while her milk was swelling more and more intensely. Her breasts had become two incredibly large, swollen lumps of flesh, as if every vein inside was flowing with milk. The slightest movement caused excruciating pain.

The exhausted head nurse finally reached her limit, and all her willpower completely collapsed.

"I confess, I confess..." she cried desperately, "I'm a cow! Master... Master, I know I'm a cow... Waaah... Please, please let the cow go!"

"Ha, ha... That's right, good cow!"

Awei snapped his fingers excitedly, walked over and gently stroked Shi Xianglan's smooth back, as if he were truly comforting a domestic animal.

"Tell me, what does the cow want?" he further coaxed her.

"Ah! The cow's... breasts hurt so much, Master... ah... please spare the cow..."

Shi Xianglan sobbed, tears welling in her eyes, uttering shameless words that even she herself found unbelievable.

Awei smiled with satisfaction and reached out to loosen the two plastic clips on her chest.

The head nurse breathed a sigh of relief, but her chest still ached terribly. Her two delicate nipples had been clamped into a pitifully flat shape and couldn't return to their original shape for a long time, and the milk still wouldn't flow out.

"Milk... milk, I want to milk!" Shi Xianglan cried incoherently, "The cow can't hold it in anymore! Master... please milk the cow quickly..."

She cried while impatiently shaking her bare buttocks, looking extremely lewd, all traces of the nurse's holy and noble temperament gone.

Awei grinned lewdly and grabbed her two round, large breasts, pinching around the areola with his thumb and forefinger, then squeezing hard with both hands at the same time.

Shi Xianglan's head snapped back, letting out a piercing scream. The torrent of milk that had been building up in her chest finally found its outlet, and a torrent of snow-white milk gushed from her nipples, shooting out in all directions like a fountain.

In that instant, she felt less pain and more of a liberating joy; the milk that had been held back for so long was now being released in a torrent. The intense stimulation caused all the muscles in her body to spasm uncontrollably, and she even lost control of her bladder as she gushed out milk, a trickle of pale yellow urine escaping from her lower body.

"Ahhhhh..."

Shi Xianglan cried hysterically, her whole body violently assaulted by the released pleasure. Before she could even catch her breath after urinating, warm, lustful fluid gushed from her lower body, flowing down her snow-white thighs.

"Wow, that's amazing...you shameless cow!"

Awei felt his blood rushing to his head, unable to contain his boiling lust any longer. He quickly untied the leather straps from the head nurse's ankles and lifted her onto the sofa.

"Milk! Don't stop...milk me...don't stop..."

Shi Xianglan was clearly delirious; the excessive torture had completely destroyed her rationality and self-respect. Her wrists were still cuffed behind her back, and she twisted her body anxiously, pleading and crying.

Awei grabbed the head nurse's waist, making her squat on him with her legs spread apart, her bare, white buttocks dangling in mid-air, perfectly aligned with his erect penis.

"Want to milk? Then first, put my big cock into your cunt..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Xianglan eagerly swayed her hips, quickly positioning her wet, fleshy slits against the man's thick glans, and then suddenly sat down. With a soft "slurp," the well-lubricated vagina swallowed the penis whole, thrusting deep inside.

A tingling, pleasurable sensation shot through her nerves to her brain. Like a long-awaited woman being nourished by rain, Shi Xianglan reached orgasm almost instantly, her uterus gushing forth a torrent of hot fluid.

Awei roared excitedly, squeezing the head nurse's large, round breasts with both hands, his thick penis pounding into her vagina with incredible speed, producing obscene sounds.

"Fuck...fuck me to death...ahh...fuck me to death..."

Shi Xianglan cried wildly, her mind blank, gushing out streams of white milk from her nipples, covering both of them in a sticky, wet liquid, filling the air with a rich, milky scent.

"Slut! Slut... Just look at those big tits of yours, I know you're the most lewd slut!"

Awei roared, veins bulging, as if the scene from when he was thirteen years old was reappearing before his eyes. His naked mother, her breasts trembling, shamelessly welcomed her lover's thrusts...

He went even crazier, suddenly lowering his head and frantically kissing Shi Xianglan's breasts, squeezing those two snow-white, round mounds until they were deformed, while sucking on her tender nipples.

"Ah... Don't suck... Don't..."

The head nurse cried out breathlessly, feeling her milk being sucked out like a burst dam, extreme shame and intense pleasure intertwining throughout her body, and soon she reached another climax...

**********

At the same moment, in the captain's office of the F City Criminal Investigation Bureau, Shi Binglan, who was lying on the table, also cried out in surprise, trembling all over as she woke up from her dream.

She was breathing heavily, her eyes wide as she looked around. It took her a while to calm down and confirm that she was still sitting properly in the chair, not trapped in that terrifying nightmare of sexual abuse.

Then, the female detective captain's pretty face suddenly turned red because she felt a familiar warmth on her thighs, and her underwear, clinging to her buttocks under her police skirt, was soaked.

—Damn it, why am I having this kind of dream even during the day…

She was both ashamed and angry, her heart filled with mixed emotions, not knowing what to do.

In the past, although Shi Binglan was prone to having nightmares of being raped when she encountered extremely stressful cases, she always had them at night in her own bed, and they had never been this frequent. These days, not only had the frequency of her dreams increased, but now she was even having them during her lunch break at work. And just now, she had only fallen asleep unconsciously due to exhaustion, dozing off for about ten minutes, and yet…

the warm feeling was like an earthworm, slippery and winding its way down. Soon, even the semi-transparent stockings covering her calves were soaked, leaving unsightly stains.

Shi Binglan was utterly mortified, her face alternating between pale and flushed, every nerve on edge!

Past experience told her that the most intense moments of a sexual fantasy were when confronting a criminal!

A sudden, inexplicable fear gripped her; she jumped up frantically, quickly pulling off her soaked underwear and stockings, rolling them up and stuffing them into her handbag.

This was undoubtedly the most intense sexual fantasy the female detective captain had ever experienced. Standing up, she felt her legs were incredibly weak, and she could barely stand. Luckily, her police skirt wasn't stained, otherwise, she would have been utterly humiliated.

But this was clearly inappropriate. Fortunately, she had clean clothes in the duty room; she should hurry and change. It was only a few steps; hopefully, none of her colleagues would notice anything amiss.

Thinking of this, Shi Binglan cautiously walked over and opened the office door, intending to slip out quietly, but suddenly froze.

In the corridor, Wang Yu was striding towards her, his face beaming with joy, shouting, "Good news! Captain, good news… I've made significant progress on the matter you asked me to investigate…"

"What's got you so excited?"

The female detective captain was somewhat amused and exasperated. At this moment, she really didn't want to stay near anyone for another second, but seeing his eagerness, she couldn't very well stop him.

"It's about Qu Weihong! I asked everyone in her hometown and finally found a crucial, previously unknown clue…"

Shi Binglan exclaimed, her eyes lighting up instantly. Ever since she saw Qu Weihong's photo, she was convinced that this former "flower of the army" was most likely her biological mother. Therefore, she and Wang Yu had done everything in their power to find Qu Weihong, regardless of whether she was still alive or not.

"What clues have you found? Tell me quickly!"

Shi Binglan asked excitedly, completely forgetting the embarrassing situation of her lower body.

"After Qu Weihong left her hometown, everyone thought she had disappeared. In fact, she went to work as a female worker at a cooperative farm under an assumed name. She lived there for at least five years before she truly disappeared. However, according to other female workers who worked with her at the time, Qu Weihong had reported to the person in charge of the farm before leaving, revealing the place she wanted to go in the future. But no one knows the specific location..."

Wang Yu said, handing over a detailed case file containing all the materials he had investigated.

Shi Binglan quickly flipped through the document, her pretty face breaking into a bright smile: "Ayu, you've done a great job! Thank you so much for finding such a useful clue..."

Praised by his goddess, Wang Yu felt completely refreshed, all the fatigue and frustration of the past few days vanishing. He humbly replied, "It's a pity that the farm has long been transformed into a new city, and all the reports and documents were lost. Otherwise, we would have made even greater discoveries..."

"It's alright, we can find the person in charge of the farm back then and ask him. He should have some recollection... Hmm, let me see who the person in charge was... Ah, Sun Defu!"

Upon hearing the name, Shi Binglan was visibly startled, exclaiming, "Could it be... Sun Defu, the CPPCC member from our city?"

"It's him!"

Shi Binglan's expression instantly turned serious, her smile vanishing.

Sun Defu, nicknamed Old Sun, was a heavyweight in the city, influential in both the legal and illegal worlds. Many rumored he was the backer of the city's largest smuggling ring, but unfortunately, there was no direct evidence, and besides, he was a CPPCC member, making him difficult for the police to deal with.

Since becoming a criminal investigator, Shi Binglan had encountered Sun Defu several times, directly or indirectly, and harbored no goodwill towards him. After being promoted to captain of the criminal investigation team, she made collecting evidence to eliminate Sun Defu her long-term goal. However, due to the sudden emergence of the perverted sex offender case, she hadn't had time to focus on that, and had temporarily refrained from causing trouble for Sun Defu.

But now, the matter she was investigating was directly related to this Sun Defu! Is this a good thing or a bad thing...?

"Captain, I'll bring a bunch of brothers to accompany you to see Sun Defu. I doubt he'd dare do anything to you!"

Wang Yu mistakenly thought Shi Binglan was wary of Sun Defu's underworld connections, so he volunteered to offer his suggestion.

Shi Binglan smiled slightly: "That's not necessary. Sun Defu wouldn't do anything to me anyway. A cunning old fox like him would never openly offend the police!"

Wang Yu nodded, took a step forward, and was about to speak when suddenly his nose wrinkled as he keenly smelled a faint, sour scent in the air.

He froze, for at least half a minute! Until...

"Ayu, Ayu! What are you daydreaming about? Did you hear me?"

A few clear shouts jolted the young officer back to reality, and he secretly pinched himself twice!

—What am I thinking! How could the captain do that...? Wang Yu, Wang Yu, didn't you resolve to turn over a new leaf? "Why are my thoughts still so vulgar..."

He scolded himself inwardly, feeling embarrassed, and asked Shi Binglan to repeat the order. It turned out Shi Binglan wanted him to contact Sun Defu as soon as possible and arrange a meeting. He agreed without hesitation and turned to carry it out.

Shi Binglan, meanwhile, quickly ran to the duty room, found some clean underwear to change into, and returned to her office to quietly ponder.

************

The next afternoon, in a magnificent mansion, Shi Binglan and Wang Yu finally met Sun Defu.

"Welcome, welcome, Captain Shi! It's truly an honor!"

Sun Defu, leaning on his cane, rose shakily from the sofa in his study, greeting them with a smile. He was emaciated, his face sallow, looking like he hadn't fully recovered from a serious illness, and his energy and strength seemed extremely poor.

Although Shi Binglan didn't like him, seeing his frail and aged appearance, she feared he didn't have much time left to live, and couldn't help but feel a little pity. So she greeted him gently and apologized for disturbing his rest.

This was purely out of politeness, but Sun Defu seemed quite moved, chuckling, "Captain Shi, you're too kind. I know you don't come here unless you need something. If there's anything this old man can help with, please don't hesitate to ask, and I'll definitely do my best!" "

Then thank you very much. I came today to ask you to recall this woman's matter..."

Shi Binglan took out the black and white photograph of Qu Weihong and placed it in front of Sun Defu.

Sun Defu put on his reading glasses, glanced at the photograph, and his body trembled slightly. He stared at the photo for a long time, muttering, "She looks familiar... Hmm, she really does look familiar, but I can't quite place her name..."

"Her name is Qu Weihong. She worked as a factory worker at the cooperative farm you were in charge of more than twenty years ago!" Wang Yu reminded him. "You took good care of her back then and even recommended her for Party membership... You haven't forgotten her, have you?"

"Yes, yes! Now that you mention it, I remember! There was such a person!"

Sun Defu slapped his forehead, looking like he had suddenly remembered, but Shi Binglan keenly noticed a hint of unease in his eyes.

"Sigh, I'm getting old, my memory isn't what it used to be. Qu Weihong was a famous beauty back then, it's just a pity she had a bad lifestyle, she got pregnant out of wedlock twice, and was later discharged from the army..."

Sun Defu seemed to be immersed in his memories, rambling on about Qu Weihong's life and deeds for a long time, but it was all information that Shi Binglan and Wang Yu already knew, nothing new.

Shi Binglan had no choice but to interrupt him, asking him directly where Qu Weihong went after resigning from the farm. Did anyone know her whereabouts afterward?

Sun Defu blinked, racking his brains for a long time, then shook his head regretfully. He said Qu Weihong had submitted a report back then, which did mention her future plans, but the report had been lost, and he couldn't remember anything about it.

Shi Binglan and Wang Yu patiently asked him repeatedly, offering various possible clues to help him recall, but Sun Defu just kept shaking his head helplessly, his face showing a deep, unfulfilled contemplation. Finally, perhaps due to mental exhaustion, he suddenly coughed violently.

Sun Defu quickly pulled out a handkerchief and covered his mouth, rubbing his chest with his other hand. He coughed for a while before stopping, and when he removed the handkerchief, Shi Binglan and Wang Yu both noticed a bright red stain on it.

Feeling it inappropriate to disturb him any further, and realizing they couldn't get any more information, they got up and took their leave.

"I'm so sorry I couldn't help you. If I suddenly remember later, I'll call you, Captain Shi!"

Sun Defu said, picking up his cane and politely seeing the two out. Wang Yu looked quite dejected along the way, while Shi Binglan's eyes shone brightly, as if flashing with some profound meaning. She exchanged pleasantries with Old Sun while slowing her pace, looking around at a magnificent living room they passed.

It was a huge living room of at least two hundred square meters, with long Western-style tables and chairs in the center, and several staff members were busy cleaning and decorating.

"Seeing all the decorations in this room, are you planning to hold a dance party here?"

Shi Binglan asked casually, seemingly very interested in everything before her.

"Yes, next week is my sixtieth birthday!" Sun Defu said with a hearty laugh. "Friends from all walks of life will be coming to celebrate, so I'm planning a small banquet and dance party for everyone to enjoy!"

"Oh, then congratulations in advance!" Shi Binglan, contrary to her usual self, warmly offered a few words of birthday wishes, then said with a hint of regret, "It's a pity I don't know how to dance at all, otherwise I would have liked to come and celebrate your birthday that day, and also get to know some friends in the political world..."

"If Captain Shi really wants to come and have fun, of course I would be more than happy to!" Sun Defu chuckled. "As for dancing, ha, you clearly dance so well, do you think this old man doesn't know? Don't be so modest..."

Shi Binglan's eyes immediately shone even brighter, and she smiled slightly: "Okay, I will definitely come!"

After saying that, she and Wang Yu left the living room, waved goodbye, and got into the police car and left.

"Captain, why are you suddenly being so friendly to Sun Defu?" Wang Yu asked curiously while driving. "Do you suspect something's wrong with that dance, which is why you're planning to attend?"

"Nothing's wrong with the dance itself, it's Sun Defu who's suspicious!" Shi Binglan's words were like a thunderbolt, her voice deep and serious. "Yu, we all know that this perverted lecher has at least one accomplice, right? If I'm not mistaken, Sun Defu is that lecher's accomplice!"

Wang Yu was taken aback, almost dropping the steering wheel. He quickly slowed down and asked in horror, "How did you figure it out?"

"I didn't see anything wrong at first either, but when Sun Defu coughed just now, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief in one hand and simultaneously touched his chest with the other. I suddenly felt that this gesture was very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before. After thinking carefully, I suddenly remembered. That time at the 'Black Panther' dance hall, I saw an old man sitting not far away drinking, occasionally covering his mouth with a handkerchief while coughing. That posture and movement were exactly the same as Sun Defu's!"

Shi Binglan said with certainty. At that time, while waiting for Awei at the dance hall, she had carefully observed everyone around her, trying to confirm whether they were the pervert.

"However, he must have been wearing makeup at the time, and he looked obviously too old and weak, so I didn't think he was a pervert and didn't pay any more attention to him. But I had a strange feeling in my heart, that this old man was seriously ill, so why would he come to such a smoky place? This impression was probably deeply stored in my subconscious, so I recognized him immediately just now!"

Wang Yu suddenly realized, and admired his female boss's attention to detail and seriousness to the fullest.

"Of course, that alone isn't enough to prove anything, after all, there are always coincidences in the world!" Shi Binglan continued, "So I tested the waters again, deliberately bringing up the topic of dancing. Hey, because I dislike socializing, I've never danced, either publicly or privately. Even with Director Zhao and my colleagues, I've always insisted that I can't dance. The only time I've danced in all these years was that time at the 'Black Panther' dance hall!"

Wang Yu exclaimed, "Ah! But Sun Defu blurted out that you danced very well. This means he was in the dance hall at the time, witnessing you dance firsthand, which is why he reacted that way!" "

Absolutely right!"

"Why would someone like Sun Defu, with his background and illness, be so suspiciously loitering in the dance hall that night? While he may have many illegal activities, he always instructs his subordinates to do them; he wouldn't be foolish enough to choose a place like a dance hall. Yet he did appear that night, which means he was doing something secret that only he could carry out, something that absolutely couldn't be leaked. That is—acting as an accomplice to a sex offender!" "

Exactly! Although we can't be 100% certain yet, Sun Defu is definitely a prime suspect..."

Shi Binglan's voice was calm, but an excited blush had already crept onto her pretty face. Wang Yu was even more excited, his breathing becoming heavy, his heart pounding wildly. This unexpected discovery was truly astonishing. Although their trip hadn't achieved their original goal, this gain was far more gratifying than finding Qu Weihong's whereabouts. It was like a crack opening in the dark clouds, allowing them to see the dawn of victory...
