Chapter 2172 - 2175: The Three Most Lethal Weapons

"To deal with a man, the simplest, most direct, and most effective methods are none other than three: money, women, and a knife!"

While Wenren Meiqiao was asking her female assistant whether all the records pertaining to Jinli Qianning had been brought, in a luxurious private jet, a middle-aged man who appeared quite dignified said coldly, "No matter if they're ordinary people, officials, rich businessmen, or even cultivators, even gods, they will all submit before these three weapons."

A middle-aged man next to him hesitated for a moment and said, "You're right, but I've always believed that if we can make Shen Qiang work for us, that would be the best strategy."

Upon hearing this, the dignified man said frostily, "It's meaningless, the cost is too high, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Shen Qiang is now renowned in the Hua Xia Cultivation World, revered by all, making him abandon all this to serve us is impossible."

"Chinese people have a saying, 'effort makes things happen!'" said the other middle-aged man. "We can offer him money and women."

The dignified man frowned at this and said, "Shen Qiang doesn't lack money, you understand? He just received an elixir pill order worth nearly a hundred billion, and his Heshenghe Group is doing very well, with annual net profits of at least several billion."

"Women," said the other middle-aged man.

The dignified man laughed, "He has plenty of women. Shen Qiang is not someone who will easily be tied down by feelings, and moreover, he won't abandon everything just for a woman."

"Then put a knife to his neck, or the necks of his women," the other middle-aged man said. "His abilities are astonishing, if he could be made to work for us, no one in this world could stop us anymore."

"Kill him," the dignified man said with a frigid calmness. "That's the only thing you should be considering."

"Why?" the other middle-aged man asked in surprise. "How can you know without trying?"

Upon hearing this, the dignified man said very calmly, "Haven't you read Shen Qiang's dossier? Since he appeared in Hua Xia Cultivation World, Shen Qiang has never compromised, whether with the Life-extending Hall, the Long Yan Sword Sect, the Qingyun Sword Pavilion, the Baihua Palace, or the Kunlun Sword Sect. He never compromised with any person or any danger, so don't think he will change."

"People do change, nothing is absolutely impossible," the other middle-aged man said somewhat dismissively.

The dignified man said, "People do change, and Shen Qiang is changing too, but regardless of how he changes, he is still Chinese, a descendant of the dragon. He won't forget his roots because of our small benefits, nor will he submit due to your threats."

"Kill him," the dignified man said. "A knife is the most effective way to eliminate all these troubles, take him out before he becomes another undefeated legend!"

The other middle-aged man was silent for a moment before saying, "It's a pity, Shen Qiang's talent is too perfect. If he were one of ours, within ten years at most, the whole world would tremble and submit under our feet."

The dignified man said, "So what you must do is spare no cost to kill him!"

The other man frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and said, "He is in Huaxia, we don't have many people to deploy, it's not easy to kill him. Better to use a beauty trap, find a beautiful female assassin to take him out."

The dignified man snorted coldly, "Such superficial tactics might be effective usually, but this Shen Qiang is unusual. The women around him are all exceptionally talented and he isn't the sort to disregard everything for a woman."

"We don't have enough manpower for direct action, and it's not something we can assuredly handle," said the other middle-aged man.

The dignified man snorted coldly, "Then ally with other forces."

The other man hesitated for a moment and said, "Is this feasible?"

"Don't worry, besides Huaxia, no one wants to see a young man with such astounding talent as Shen Qiang exist, so there are plenty who share our goal who will be your support," the dignified man said.

The dignified man said, "Once Shen Qiang is dead, everything will go back to balance, all powers will be equal, no one will dare act recklessly, and superhuman's world will be peaceful."

"I understand, rest assured," the other man said, "Upon arrival at the destination, I'll immediately transfer to Huaxia."

The dignified man nodded, "I await your good news."

"Rest assured, we can definitely remove this Shen Qiang."

Meanwhile, at the door of Wenren Meiqiao's office, Shen Qiang, wearing sneakers, jeans, and a white short-sleeved t-shirt, was smiling as he knocked on the open door.

"Come in."

In military uniform, looking spirited, efficient, and beautifully commanding, Wenren Meiqiao coquettishly rolled her eyes at Shen Qiang.

"Consultant Shen, please take a seat, I'll pour you some tea." Wenren Meiqiao's female assistant immediately got up.

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "No need for tea, I don't want to disturb your work, so I'll just take the documents and leave."

Upon hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Consultant Shen, I think you've been too fortunate lately, always dreaming of good things."

Pushing a thick stack of documents towards the office desk, Wenren Meiqiao said seriously, "The documents are here, you can look at them here, but you cannot take them away, photograph them, or copy them."

Shen Qiang was slightly surprised, "Why?"

"Qian Ning is the daughter of the Great Sea Demon King, under the condition of not breaking protocol, she's under the protection of the Dragon Group. All investigation documents are top-secret and cannot be shared, because if anything goes wrong with Qian Ning, it could endanger the safety of Huaxia's shipping routes."

Raising an eyebrow and smiling, Wenren Meiqiao said, "So the Vice Admiral's directive is that you must view these documents within my sight."

Shen Qiang chuckled at this, took the documents and sat on the sofa, saying, "As you command, I'll read them here. Originally, I thought I was coming to you for a backdoor, didn't expect it was the Vice Admiral's directive, so should I thank you, or him?"

"Of course, thank me," Wenren Meiqiao teased with a charming raised brow and smile, "because if you're not grateful to me, next time, I guarantee none of your requests will reach the Vice Admiral's ears."

Shen Qiang burst into laughter, took the tea from Wenren Meiqiao's female assistant, and said, "Meiqiao, you've changed, King Yan is easy to meet, the little demons are hard to deal with — this saying is so true, if you had dragged this matter, I really wouldn't be seeing these documents today."

Sending Wenren Meiqiao a wink, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "So rest assured, tonight, I'll thank you properly!"
