As the evening lights were beginning to glow, Pei Zhengyi sat in his sports car parked outside the Dinghao Hotel, scrolling through his phone over and over.

The young man seated in the passenger seat said anxiously, "Pei, are we really going to make a move against Shen Qiang? He seems to have powerful connections and isn't easy to provoke. Maybe we should talk to him again."

"Talk about what?" Pei Zhengyi was furious as he barked, "I told Shen Qiang very seriously that in my eyes, Medical University only has two people worth mentioning: Ji Liangchuan and Cheng Hai. Shen Qiang is nothing to me."

The young man in the passenger seat replied, "This matter can be discussed. Isn't it enough to just admit that he's impressive? I don't believe he'd be so ruthless as to corner you with no way out. If he were really that cold-hearted, he wouldn't have settled for just an apology before."

Pei Zhengyi said coldly, "Are you taking his side?"

The young man in the passenger seat said, "Pei, let's be reasonable. Look, it began with us mocking Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong, but when Shen Qiang stepped in, not only did you disregard him, you even hit on his girlfriend indirectly."

"Shen Qiang had already seen through all of this, but he didn't hold it against you; he just had you apologize, and it was over. Later, it was you who insisted on finding Boss Zhang, then you went on, puffing up your chest and threatening to play someone to death. Think about it, if you were Shen Qiang, would you tolerate such actions and words?"

"Trust me, while they haven't released the video yet, let's go see Shen Qiang. If you sincerely admit your mistake, it's just a spat between young men. Shen Qiang would certainly not go so far as to be ruthless over such a thing. But now that you've called all these people to attack him, that's a major feud."

"You're playing both sides!" Pei Zhengyi was enraged: "I look down on him, so what? I want to flirt with his girlfriend, so what? You're my friend. Even if you know I'm wrong, you should still be on my side. And now you're speaking for Shen Qiang?"

The young man in the passenger seat said earnestly, "Pei, precisely because we are friends, I want to help you. Think about it, it's just over a few words of provocation. Apologize, and it'll be settled. The sun will still rise every day, and you'll still be the influential Pei. How bad can Shen Qiang be?"

"But if you really lead people to beat him up, it'll blow up into something big. Whether for pride or safety, Shen Qiang won't let it go, and he's not like Wu Zhaoyang who's just a street peddler, nor Lan Yong who gets explosive after a few words."

"He is wealthy and powerful, and he won't just let bygones be bygones. Just trust me this once and go have a peaceful talk with him, alright?"

Pei Zhengyi exploded in anger, "Get lost! From now on, we go our separate ways. You do you, and I'll do me. This mere Shen Qiang—If I don't beat him until he's searching for his teeth and begging for mercy, you can take my surname!"

Hearing this, the young man looked disappointingly as he pushed open the car door, telling Pei Zhengyi, "I did my best; if you won't listen, so be it."

"Get lost!" Pei Zhengyi grabbed a drink he had taken a sip from and flung it at the young man's face, saying, "I'll let you witness Shen Qiang begging on his knees!"

The young man laughed, calmly turned, and walked away.

Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, Shen Qiang, who had just finished his meal, suddenly heard Xiu Ju's telepathic message.

"There's a crowd gathering outside the hotel; it's that guy surnamed Pei."

Glancing at Xiu Ju playing with her phone, Shen Qiang smiled and said to Bianyi, "What are the rooms in Dinghao like? I mean, is there any sort of super luxurious room where we can enjoy some fun in the water?"

Bianyi was taken aback, then laughed, "Of course there are. This is the most luxurious hotel in Provincial City from back in the day. There are plenty of good rooms."

Shen Qiang smiled at Xiu Ju, "Keep the girls company for a bit. We're going out to see if we can find a couple of nice rooms for you. We'll stay here tonight."

At these words, the girlfriend of Lan Yong blushed instantly.

"Brother Qiang, this doesn't seem right. Lan Yong and me... we..."

Shen Qiang laughed, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. The best room for us after Lan Yong graduates, he'll at least be the security director of Datong River, which will definitely provide you with a stable life."

He smiled at Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend, "Of course, Wu Zhaoyang too. Trust me, they'll both become executives with an annual salary of over a million, so you'd better start getting used to living in luxury hotels now."

Having said that, Shen Qiang stood up with a smile, while Wu Zhaoyang thoughtfully pulled Lan Yong, who was giggling foolishly, to follow him closely.

As soon as they left the room,

Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend with bright eyes said, "Sister Xiu Ju, Brother Qiang is such a nice guy; it's my first time seeing someone as good as him."

Lan Yong's girlfriend also said, "Yeah, I really didn't expect Brother Qiang to pull Lan Yong up like that. Without Brother Qiang looking out for him, with Lan Yong's temperament, who would hire him?"

Hearing the unanimous praise for Shen Qiang, Xiu Ju laughed, "Shen Qiang is not such a good guy; don't be fooled by his appearance."

Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend, with discerning eyes, said, "Sister Xiu Ju, I've heard everything Brother Qiang said. He's a truly good person. Without him, Chaoyang and I would have had a life of misery. So I know he's sincerely helping us, he's a good person, he won't harm Chaoyang, so I feel safe with Chaoyang being with Brother Qiang. A person as good as him certainly won't let Chaoyang make mistakes."

Lan Yong's girlfriend also said, "Yes, it's the first time I've seen Lan Yong so obedient. Before, only Wu Zhaoyang could somewhat keep him in check, but he always seemed so resentful. Yet, when he's with Brother Qiang, he's very well-behaved, so being with Brother Qiang, I'm sure he won't cause any trouble."

Outside the restaurant at this time,

Shen Qiang, with a smile, took two plastic police batons from several security guards.

He tossed one to Lan Yong and one to Wu Zhaoyang.

Both of them were startled.

Lan Yong asked, "Brother Qiang, what is this for?"

"For beating people up!" Shen Qiang said, smiling so hard his eyes bent into crescents. "I just got a message. Pei Zhengyi hasn't left. He's waiting for us at the hotel entrance with a lot of people. I don't want to flee in a panic, so we have to fight head-on."

Lan Yong laughed, his eyes ablaze with excitement, "We don't need these; I could punch the crap out of him with one fist."

Shen Qiang shook his head with a smile, "Fighting is a skill too. You two listen well; when facing fights between cultivators, you absolutely can't go easy on them. You must use all your strength to take down your opponent. But when dealing with ordinary people, you need to learn to avoid unnecessary trouble. I don't want you guys to take a life and be saddled with a lawsuit the moment you make your move."

"So listen carefully, when you two start fighting, you have to hit them hard enough, viciously enough, to make them fear you, to make them kneel and beg for mercy, but without causing fatal injuries. Don't turn an ordinary scuffle into a criminal case, got it?"

Lan Yong and Wu Zhaoyang both nodded.

Shen Qiang turned around to see Bianyi smiling next to them. Shen Qiang furrowed his brows and asked, "Aren't you coming along?"

Bianyi straightened his red tie with a smile, raised his eyebrow, and said with a smile, "I'm a cultured person. I don't get my hands dirty. Plus, the thing I should be doing now is preparing three rooms for you to have some love-dovey fun in. So please don't include me in any beating and killing affairs, because I faint at the sight of blood."
