At the foot of Long Yan Mountain, a middle-aged female secretary got out of a passing sedan and quickly got into a luxury off-road vehicle parked in the woods below. Looking at the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect, the middle-aged secretary hugged Shen Qiang's godson in her arms and said with a surprised smile, "Sect Leader, you were right. I just received the news that Chu Qing, along with four other powerhouses, has already left the Dinghao Grand Hotel."
Glancing coldly at the boy sleeping in the arms of the middle-aged female secretary, the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect spoke in a cold voice, "This place is secluded, with no households within twenty miles and no national roads nearby. It's also less than ten miles from the Great Elder's retreat location. Our n have laid an ambush here. Once Shen Qiang and his team arrive, we'll launch an all-out attack and capture them all."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged female secretary said, "But the Shen's are not so easy to heat up. Apart from the three cultivators at Tianyou dicine who haven't moved, all other cultivators from Shen's have assembled. It seems like Shen Qiang has noticed sothing and is prepared for a tough battle with us."
The Long Yan Sword Sect Sect Leader laughed upon hearing this, "I'm hoping for them to co and fight us head-on. We now have sixteen Mixed Elent Realm powerhouses, while the Divine Sense has only six. The other cultivators have low cultivation and are not very strong. After we catch them all, Shen's Holding, Xiduobao, Datong River, and Tianyou dicine will all be ours."
The middle-aged female secretary, upon hearing this, smiled and said, "Congratulations, Sect Leader."
With a look of triumph in his eyes, the Sect Leader of the Long Yan Sword Sect glanced at the little boy in the hands of the middle-aged woman and said coldly, "Why are you still holding that brat? As the saying goes, 'when weeding, remove the roots.' Kill him first, then call Shen Qiang. Have him circle around the city first, and after he receives my final order, let them co here, where I will tear him to pieces."
Shocked by his words, the middle-aged female secretary said, "Sect Leader? Didn't we agree that this child is just bait to lure them out, and we wouldn't kill him?"
Hearing this, the Long Yan Sword Sect Sect Leader snorted coldly, "If you don't remove the roots when weeding, the weeds will grow again with the spring breeze. We can't afford to show any rcy toward the Shen's!"
The middle-aged female secretary beca anxious, "Sect Leader, he's just a child, so young. He wouldn't know anything. Please spare him."
"No, he must be killed!"
The Long Yan Sword Sect Sect Leader's expression was icy, "Godson, huh? A nice trick to deceive others. I'm sure he is actually Shen Qiang's own son, so he must be killed."
The middle-aged female secretary turned pale and hesitated for a mont before saying, "Sect Leader, if you must remove the roots, please decide after you've killed Shen Qiang. If sothing unexpected happens, this boy is our bargaining chip in negotiations with Shen Qiang."
"Unless Shen Qiang turns into a shrinking turtle, what else could go wrong?" The Long Yan Sword Sect Sect Leader said with a sneer, "But you do make so sense. Keep him alive for now; let the brat live a little longer. I'll kill his father first, then him."
Afterwards, the Long Yan Sword Sect Sect Leader looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late; you can call Shen Qiang now."
Ten minutes later.
In the car.
Shen Qiang, who had just hung up the phone, said with a very cold look, "A woman called and told to prepare five million in remuneration, or I'd have to collect my son's body. She also said that if I don't listen to her, if I dare to call the police or not go, she'll let everyone know that I am a coward who would sacrifice his son's life rather than part with five million."
Hearing this, Xiu Ju beside him spoke in a cold voice, "He is just a child; if he dies, just have another. But a cultivator of your unique talent is a rare elite. They obviously want to kill you, and I'm afraid they won't even give you two minutes, so I think..."
"You should go make clothes for dolls," Shen Qiang said with a frown.
Xiu Ju imdiately quieted down, unconsciously uttering a sound of acknowledgnt.
Shen Qiang looked at her, and after about two or three seconds, when Xiu Ju's eyes brightened once again, Shen Qiang said, "Bianyi is here, you go to Jiang Hanyang first." Xiu Ju acknowledged with an "Oh," got out of the car, and then sat in the car where Jiang Hanyang was.
Standing outside the car door, Bianyi imdiately got into the car, sitting in the passenger seat, and then his eyes shone as he sized up Shen Qiang's car, saying, "My dear boss, your car is really beautiful, I've taken up outdoor sports recently."
"Shut up." Shen Qiang, extrely irritable, said sternly, "Want a car? No problem, but only if we annihilate Long Yan."
Bianyi smiled slightly and said, "Boss, I think your previous strategy was sound, like matching horses in a race, whatever we do, we won't suffer too much of a loss."
Shen Qiang frowned and said, "They're now forcing to go to a location they have specified, the horse matching tactic isn't applicable anymore."
Bianyi silently looked at Shen Qiang for a mont and said, "Boss, not to criticize you, but I've always thought you were a smart person. Why are you confused about this matter? That child is not yours to begin with; if he dies, he dies. As for that beautiful young widow Gao Hui, she's young, beautiful, she has feelings for you, and you like her too. Why don't you two just have another child, what's the big deal?"
Turning to face Shen Qiang with a frown, Bianyi continued, "Is it worth it to risk the lives of all of us for him?"
Shen Qiang looked at Bianyi coldly and countered angrily, "Shut your mouth, and don't forget the original purpose for which I established Shen's Holdings. I founded Shen's to grow stronger, to never be bullied again. Now my godson has been kidnapped; you want to ignore it?"
"What if they kidnapped you tomorrow, would I care?"
Bianyi laughed, "I've already died once, so boss, you really don't need to worry about ."
Shen Qiang said coldly, "Stop joking around with . Let tell you, Bianyi, if I don't care about my godson's troubles, Shen's Holdings is done for. You, this bastard, should be very clear about this. Compared to my godson, your position in Shen's is even lower. If I don't care about him, would you trust ?"
Bianyi was silent for a mont, then said, "I understand what kind of person you are. I said that just in hopes you could relax a bit."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang said gravely, "Your jokes only make angry. As long as Long Yan Sword Sect exists, I can't rest easy. So now, I need to confirm sothing with you: if we annihilate the Long Yan Sword Sect, can we smoothly take over all the assets of Long Yan Group?"
Bianyi frowned slightly, "It's not difficult. Without the backing of Long Yan Sword Sect, taking down Long Yan Group would be a piece of cake. But I don't understand why you're asking this."
Shen Qiang smiled, "Because if I can't control Long Yan Group, I'd rather see it destroyed."
Bianyi raised an eyebrow, "Your nature is really dark."
Just then, Shen Qiang's phone rang. After listening for a couple of seconds, Shen Qiang grabbed the car's radio, saying sternly, "Everyone get ready, we're setting out now. So I hope you all understand that it's a do-or-die mont between us and Long Yan Sword Sect, which is why I demand that no one shows the slightest rcy, because this is a battle for survival!"
