Shen Qiang watched Bianyi, with his smug smile, and said very seriously, "I remember you said, when you took the Fencai Bat Peach Pattern Olive Bottle, that you wouldn't extort me again."

Bianyi laughed, "Yes, but that's business for you. Since your net worth is on the rise, it's natural that the price for your safety goes up accordingly. Besides, you can rest assured, I guarantee this is the last time."

Shen Qiang looked at Bianyi coldly and said, "The first time, you took sixty million from me and said it was settled. The second time, you took the Fencai Bat Peach Pattern Olive Bottle from me and said you wouldn't come again. Now, you're telling me this is the last time. Do you think I would believe you?"

Bianyi chuckled, "Tsk tsk, it seems you're quite the suspicious fellow. But I advise you to be smart and sign the contract because you are not in a position to negotiate, understand? If you refuse, I'll expose everything about you immediately. Believe me, your loved ones would become hostages in other people's hands."

Looking at Shen Qiang with calm eyes, Bianyi smiled and said, "Besides, I'm not being unreasonable, I'm just asking for half of the shares in Datong River. That's quite fair, and I've been more than generous. If you refuse, then I really will get angry."

Plague Source silently activated, and the most drug-resistant Tuberculosis Mycobacterium surged toward Bianyi, unnoticed.

Looking at Bianyi calmly, Shen Qiang leaned in close to his ear and said solemnly, "Your greed will be the death of you."

Bianyi burst into laughter, "People die for wealth, as birds die for food. If you can't part with those worldly possessions, then be ready to attend the funerals of your friends and family. You know, to those guys, your friends and family are no more than ants. So don't refuse me. Sign it now."

Feeling the rapid infection of the tuberculosis bacterium, Shen Qiang laughed and nodded, "Very well, you have taught me a valuable lesson."

He picked up a pen, didn't even glance at the contract Bianyi handed him, and quickly signed his name.

"Tsk tsk, not a bad signature at all," Bianyi laughed, turned to leave, and his eyes caught Shen Qiang's trophy. He reached out to take it, but after failing to pull it away, Bianyi said with a sly smile, "I think the new shareholder of Datong River would really like this little trinket."

Shen Qiang took a deep breath and said, "That belongs to the chefs of Datong River. I suggest you better not touch it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're quite the idealist, aren't you? Don't worry, you'll have plenty of opportunities to be a chef in the future." Snatching the trophy from Shen Qiang, Bianyi shook his head laughing as he walked out, "Tsk tsk, losing half the shares of Datong River and still caring about this broken trophy, you really are an idiot."

Watching his back, Shen Qiang's gaze was unprecedentedly calm.

Then he turned and walked towards the elevator.

Xiu Ju, who had witnessed everything from the Dark Department, hurriedly followed Shen Qiang into the elevator and whispered, "Stay calm, Shen Qiang. Our people might take care of Bianyi's server at any moment, and then we can..."

Stepping out of the elevator, Shen Qiang laughed, fiddling with his phone, and looked at Xiu Ju very seriously, "I don't want to be passive anymore. Bianyi won't stop. He will choose to drain all of my remaining value. He's taken cash from me, antiques, half of Datong River. All that's left are my secrets,"

"So what he's going to do is exhaust me, reveal my secrets, and let others kill me. That way, he won't have to worry about my retaliation."

"I won't give him that opportunity, so I've decided to strike back in my own way."

With that, Shen Qiang picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Auntie Song, it's me. I've just received news that someone has forged a contract signed by me to sell shares of Datong River in a scam. Yes, I've already called the police, and they suggest that we should keep them at bay for now."

"So if anyone contacts you about transferring shares, try to stall them, without reporting it to the police again. Just find various excuses to delay, right. It's a big syndicate, and the police are investigating their backer, so what we need to do now is cooperate with the police operation, drag out the time as much as possible. Yes, just make excuses to stall them, nothing else matters."

"Mhm, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Dark Department Xiu Ju said in shock, "Shen Qiang, did you lie to the manager? Don't drag ordinary people into this, they'll die!"

Shen Qiang glanced at Dark Department Xiu Ju coldly and said seriously, "They are already involved, understand? I've bought Datong River and the only reason I want to make Datong River successful is to let Lv Shuyao hold her head high, the woman who chose to stay by my side when I was at my most destitute."

"But you can't just..." Dark Department Xiu Ju said anxiously.

Shen Qiang replied coldly, "Why can't I? Xiu Ju, you need to understand the saying, 'When the nest is overturned, no eggs remain unbroken.' If I fall, Lv Shuyao and her parents will not be a match for Bianyi. If I fall, would you still follow me as you do now? If I fall, would Dragon Group still send someone to protect my parents?"

Xiu Ju opened her mouth to speak.

Shen Qiang raised a finger to signal her to be quiet and said, "We're all adults, don't try to deceive me with lies. Without me, Shen Qiang, you wouldn't be here on a mission, and without me, my parents would be just two ordinary people, and Dragon Group certainly wouldn't expend a vast amount of resources to protect them for no reason."

"So listen well, you are not my life coach! You are just a bodyguard sent to protect me, and your job is to keep me from dying. As for the rest, you're supposed to turn a blind eye, deaf ear, understand?"

Xiu Ju said angrily, "Shen Qiang, we're all helping you, and we're about to succeed."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Being on the verge of success and actually succeeding are worlds apart. Stop talking, once I've made up my mind, nothing will be changed because of you."

After that, Shen Qiang fiddled with his phone and returned to his room.

With a bang, he slammed the door shut, leaving Xiu Ju outside.

Xiu Ju was furious.

Standing in the hallway, she fell silent for a long while, anger brewing within her until she walked to the window at the end of the corridor, looking out angrily. It had been a long while, and Shen Qiang had not come out of his room, and after some of her anger had subsided, Dark Department Xiu Ju casually took out her phone and opened the Bounty Hunters app.

"Di di di, di di di!"

As soon as the app was opened, twenty or so system notifications flooded in.

She casually clicked on one and Xiu Ju was stunned.

A long list of mission information filled the screen.
