The Scorpion's eyes beca excited as he thought about it, fearing that the other team mbers wouldn't hear Shen Qiang's voice. He hushed them and signaled for everyone to be silent, then whispered, "Don't make noise, it's Shen Qiang. Calling at this ti, he surely has no good intentions."
The eyes of the many Dragon Group combat team mbers instantly beca vigilant.
"Was Shen Qiang's previous behavior all just a pretense?"
"Uh... that can't be, if he was really that petty, why would he entertain us and even invite us to dinner?"
"Very strange, Captain Scorpion is usually very wise, but how did he beco so peculiar like a different person after coming here?"
Just as everyone was contemplating, Scorpion took a deep breath, abruptly answered the phone, and pressed the speaker button.
"Hello, Advisor Shen," Scorpion greeted, sneaking glances at the other team mbers in the room, praying in his heart, "Make your move, Shen Qiang! Whether it's threats, temptations, any despicable ans are fine, as long as my team mbers start to resent you, it will be easy as pie to persuade them to eliminate you."
The nurous combat team mbers perked up their ears, equally curious to hear what Shen Qiang had to say.
"Captain Bian, hello. This is the situation, after leaving the Datong River thinking of returning to the Heshenghe Building, I rembered that before, when Qian Shanxue was around, they always complained about the poor heating at the garrison, its remoteness, and inconvenient transportation."
"So, for a while, they lived in my apartnt in the city, but that apartnt, although idle now, still has so of their clothing and daily necessities in it, so it's not very convenient for you to stay there."
"So just now, I bought an apartnt near the People's Square, Qian Shanxue's favorite place, because from there, you can quickly and conveniently reach all corners of the city. The surrounding business districts are nurous, with more than half of the city's buses and subways passing through."
"It's very suitable for you to live and work there, so please, if you don't mind, stay there with your team mbers."
Seeing the combat team mbers instantly bright-eyed and glowing, Scorpion was stunned and instinctively said, "Advisor Shen, this is not appropriate, is it?"
Shen Qiang laughed over the phone, "There's nothing inappropriate. You have a crucial task to ensure the ordinary citizens are not hard by the cultivators. Without convenient transportation and a comfortable environnt, the anxiety might affect your mindset while executing the mission, so don't be polite. I've already sent a car to pick you up, see you in a bit."
With these words, not giving Scorpion a chance to refuse, the call was already hung up.
At this mont, the combat team mbers' eyes were glowing.
"Haha, finally, we don't have to stay in this dreadful place, that Shen Qiang is indeed sothing else."
"Righteous, there's nothing else to say. To make our lives comfortable and our tasks convenient, he specially bought us an apartnt in the city center?"
A team mber holding a mobile phone exclaid excitedly, "My goodness, just look at the apartnts near People's Square, so expensive, at least several million. This Shen Qiang didn't even blink; he truly is generous."
Seeing the excited glances from the team mbers, Scorpion coldly said, "Don't you think Shen Qiang is being too enthusiastic? Rember, when soone is overly solicitous for no reason, either they're evil or betraying, this Shen Qiang, whom we barely know, has fetched us at the airport, invited us to dinner, and now he's buying us a place to stay? He must have so ulterior motive, rember, he's not a philanthropist!"
The team mbers, upon hearing this, suddenly awakened.
Their expressions not only turned vigilant, but their faces also all turned solemn.
"Listening to the captain, I also feel there's sothing odd about Shen Qiang. Normally, as an advisor to the Dragon Group, all he needs to do is provide consultation when we encounter unsolvable problems."
"Exactly, managing hundreds of great demons and being a significant figure in the Heshenghe Group, he should be very busy. Even ordinary officials find it hard to see him, but with us, he seems excessively enthusiastic. Does he have so secret he can't reveal behind all this?"
"This Shen Qiang, perhaps he really is a vile person; he's being so good to us, probably because he's done sothing unspeakable. By using these things, he might be trying to lull us into complacency or build a good relationship with us so that when we discover his problems, we will let him off a little.: "
"That's definitely it!" A young combat team mber coldly concluded: "He must be secretly doing dark deeds, humph, that's why he plays these tricks to please us, humph, he underestimates us."
Seeing the combat team mbers indeed following his hint and having wild thoughts, a smile played at the corner of Scorpion's mouth.
At this mont, the sound of car horns ca from outside.
A team mber glanced and then said, "It's a car from Heshenghe, should we go or not?"
"No!" A team mber sternly said, "This Shen Qiang wants to numb us with sugarcoated bullets, we can't fall for such wicked tricks!"
"Yes, yes, we can't go!"
"Humph, being so enthusiastic, it's apparent that Shen Qiang is guilty of sothing."
Seeing the team mbers' faces cold and stoic, saying not to go.
Scorpion smiled and then calmly said, "Blockheads, Shen Qiang can pretend to be benevolent, but we can also go along with it, because even if Shen Qiang really did sothing unspeakable behind the scenes, without solid evidence, we can't touch him."
"If he believes we're on good terms, then he won't worry anymore, and maybe he'll beco careless. When that ti cos, once we hold evidence, we can bring him to justice."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, praising.
"Indeed, Captain Scorpion, you are considerate."
"Hmm, the captain's right. To bring down a big figure like Shen Qiang, we can't do without solid proof."
Seeing the team mbers looking at him with admiration, Scorpion's smile deepened as he said, "Alright then, since there are no objections, let's follow my plan, stay at Shen Qiang's apartnt, and then remain vigilant, keeping an eye out for evidence. A person like him, pretending for no reason, must be hiding sothing unspeakable. Once we hold evidence, not even the king of heaven can stop us from bringing him down!"
"Understood!"
Everyone packed their gear.
They left the building and got into the Heshenghe car.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the Jinchang Building opposite People's Square.
Ji Wei, who had been waiting there, then took them upstairs.
The elevator stopped on the 22nd floor.
Ji Wei led them into a luxuriously decorated room, where the vigilant combat team mbers imdiately noticed Shen Qiang, in a shirt, sitting in the living room making tea.
"Co in, don't be shy, from now on, this will be your temporary dwelling. This apartnt has four bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms, with an office that can be used for the captain. There's everything around here, I'm sure you'll like this place."
