Bianyi looked pale as he stared at Shen Qiang and muttered, "This is impossible. I'm so close to you, yet I didn't feel any surge of True Qi or nature's spiritual energy from you. How did you administer the poison?"

As he thought about it, Bianyi suddenly became anxious, "Shen Qiang, you have to detoxify me immediately. Have I been poisoned too?"

Shen Qiang smiled and glanced at him, saying, "I poison whom I want to poison. Those I don't want to poison will be fine, even if they stand next to me."

Upon hearing this, Bianyi's eyes brightened, "Boss, I knew it. You wouldn't want me to die. Thank you, boss, thank you." While speaking, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his handkerchief.

At that moment, Xiu Ju got out of the car and walked over with shock in her eyes, frowning at Shen Qiang, "This is the first time I've seen you take such severe measures."

Shen Qiang smiled and calmly said, "They wanted to kill me, and they admitted themselves that each of them had blood on their hands. If not eliminated, today they threaten me, tomorrow it will be someone else. As a good citizen, I should eradicate the threat for the people."

Xiu Ju laughed and said, "Only you would justify yourself like that. Do you want me to present you another banner of honor?"

Shen Qiang laughed just as the phone of the man who had previously threatened him with a gun rang.

Shen Qiang picked up the phone from him.

The caller ID on the screen read 'Brother Zhang.'

Shen Qiang answered the phone with a smile.

On the other end, the anxious voice of Boss Zhang from Dinghao came through.

"Tiger, is it done? Have they gone yet? Remember, force them to sign. I don't want others touching my Dinghao, and Datong River is very valuable. Help me settle this, and I'll have money to send you guys to Country H for plastic surgery, and you can start anew."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed.

On the other end, Boss Zhang from Dinghao was startled by the sound of the voice and urgently said, "Who are you? Where is Tiger?"

"I am Shen Qiang, and I regret to inform you that all your men are dead, but their bodies and those firearms will soon be in the hands of the police. So, you'd better pray your dealings with them were clean, or else you should get ready to spend a long time in prison," Shen Qiang responded.

Boss Zhang from Dinghao fell silent on the other end.

At that moment, Shen Qiang smiled slightly and added, "Oh, I forgot to mention, your call came just in time to prove that you orchestrated all of this, so you're no longer clean."

"Shen Qiang, let's make a deal," Boss Zhang from Dinghao said. "Give me Tiger's phone, the video of Pei Zhengyi, and just name a price of one yuan, and I will give you the Dinghao Hotel completely. I keep my word, and I will never trouble you again, alright?"

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Do you think I would believe you?"

Boss Zhang from Dinghao rushed, "I don't need you to trust me. Just know that even if I go to prison, I still hold 65% of the shares of Dinghao Hotel. You won't benefit, and Dinghao will still bear my surname, though there might just be an additional shareholder surnamed Shen."

"But if you meet these two demands of mine, one broken phone, a few useless videos, you could own a property worth nearly 800 million. Now, tell me, you'd find this deal profitable regardless," he concluded.

Shen Qiang smiled and calmly asked, "When do we sign the contract?"

"Tomorrow morning at eight, is that okay?" Boss Zhang from Dinghao asked.

Shen Qiang nodded, saying, "Alright, tomorrow morning at eight, see you at Dinghao."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qiang found a plastic bag, packed the mobile phone into it, and stored it in his Storage Ring.

Then, accompanied by Xiu Ju and Bianyi, he turned and returned to the car driven by Bianyi.

Xiu Ju teasingly laughed, "I thought our good citizen Mr. Shen would righteously refuse that bastard's deal."

Shen Qiang frowned and said, "A broken mobile phone won't seal his fate, this thing can only prove that he indeed knew that guy who threatened me with a gun, nothing more. It can't prove he's related to a certain case, nor can it prove that he's the mastermind behind these incidents."

"Moreover, you should be aware that currently, it's 'innocent until proven guilty'. In other words, if it can't be proven that all of this was indeed done by him, then he will be judged not guilty."

"From his attitude, he doesn't seem very nervous, especially after hearing that those people are dead. He seemed relieved instead because with no witnesses alive, they cannot accuse him anymore. Moreover, another key point is that he only wanted this mobile phone and didn't care about anything else, which means he had merely contacted the owner of this phone."

"He's a businessman, boss, dealing with all sorts of people. Making calls to anyone isn't a solid criminal proof."

Bianyi nodded, "Indeed, but it would be different if there was a recording."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Put away that broken thing of yours, a recording obtained illegally is not evidence accepted in court."

Bianyi laughed, "But it's quite useful for frightening people. Also, my merciful boss, where are we going now?"

Shen Qiang smiled at Xiu Ju and said, "To Dinghao, of course, because someone has a special fondness for 'Mandarin Ducks Playing in Water'."

Xiu Ju glared at Shen Qiang in embarrassed haste and said, "Shut up. Don't say it!"

Two hours later.

Provincial City, a building that resembles a medical research institute.

Qian Shanxue, tall and wearing a crisp military uniform, entered the morgue in hurried steps.

The old man in a white coat, upon seeing her, helplessly said, "Colonel Qian Shanxue, the thing we feared most has happened."

"Has Shen Qiang fallen?" Qian Shanxue asked tensely, her brows tightly furrowed.

The old man, wearing the white coat, helplessly raised an eyebrow, walked to the morgue table, pulled back the white cloth from a body that had clearly been autopsied, and sighed, "He hasn't fallen, but he has killed eight armed fugitives."

Qian Shanxue was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Well done, he is a Captain of the Dragon Group, and it's his duty. I see nothing worrying in this."

The man in the white coat looked at Qian Shanxue helplessly and said, "Yes, it's his duty, and I know that you and those high-ups really appreciate him, but what's terrifying is that the power he wields has exceeded our control."

Looking at the row of bodies revealed by the man in the white coat pulling back the cloth, Qian Shanxue said surprisingly, "Is it tuberculosis? I heard about your concerns last time, but the tuberculosis bacteria were given to him personally by me from here."

The old man smiled bitterly at her words, "He has already mastered tuberculosis, which is a chronic disease that can be treated, not something that kills immediately."

"Then what are you worried about?" Qian Shanxue smiled, her stunningly beautiful face breathtaking under the light.

The old man's face darkened as he looked gravely at Qian Shanxue, "What I need to tell you is that it has now been confirmed, your previous analysis was correct. He indeed possesses Disaster Level power because he now controls the most potent biotoxin known among natural toxins and synthetic agents, the Botulinum toxin. This means that if he loses his reason, he could kill all the ordinary people he wants to in just one minute."

Looking at the shocked Qian Shanxue, the old man gave a bitter smile and said, "If given enough time to infect, even a Mixed Element Realm expert couldn't last three minutes in front of him, meaning the situation has completely spiraled out of control."
