Gazing at Bianyi's smile, Shen Qiang's gaze gradually became icy, even though he had always thought Bianyi to be a decent person.

In fact, Shen Qiang and Bianyi were merely acquaintances.

Bianyi dealt in antiques, magical treasures, and various rare materials, which meant he was often seen at the Wanxin Hesheng and Cheng Xinyi auction houses.

Having seen each other frequently, exchanging a greeting and having a brief chat were quite normal.

However, Shen Qiang never imagined that the reason Miss Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing kept inviting him was actually for the "Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra."

Moreover, what Shen Qiang hadn't expected was that Bianyi was the one who told her this information.

What was even more terrifying was that Bianyi said he knew how Jing Haotian had died, and he also knew Shen Qiang's secret.

This was almost an open admission that he knew Shen Qiang's real identity.

Dragon Group Nightmare.

The guy wearing a red blood-streaked mask.

On the Bounty Hunters website platform, he was a superstar rookie with a bounty of over a hundred million.

If this information were made public, a nightmare awaited Shen Qiang.

Golden Core Stage cultivation, a bounty of over a hundred million.

Just think about it, and you'd know how many fortune-seeking cultivators and demons would come to ambush Shen Qiang.

Moreover.

If Shen Qiang's identity really were exposed.

Then many people would immediately be in danger.

Parents, Xin Xiaoting, Su Xiaonuan, Miao Xiaoxia, even Lv Shuyao abroad, and closely associated individuals like Geng Liang and Ju Yang would all become unsafe,

Looking at the smiling Bianyi, Shen Qiang laughed coldly and said, "Brother Bian really knows how to joke. Well, since you are here, let's stop joking. It's true that I acquired the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra."

Upon hearing this, Miss Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing and the Black Bear Spirit Octopus Monster's eyes instantly lit up.

But at this moment, Shen Qiang's tone changed and he said, "However, my master has taken the scripture and whether to sell it or not is not up to me to decide."

Hearing this, Bianyi sneered as if he had more to say.

Fearing the atmosphere was too tense, Miss Chu Qing slightly smiled and said, "Now that we know the whereabouts of the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, this matter isn't urgent. Mr. Bian, please take a seat. Since we all know each other, it would be great to sit together and chat."

Bianyi sat down with a smile, looked at Shen Qiang, and said, "Brother Shen Qiang, don't be too surprised or nervous. Miss Chu Qing is a very good businesswoman, she will offer you a lot of money."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Are you very familiar with her?"

"Sort of," Bianyi said somewhat proudly, "Cheng Xinyi and Wanxin Hesheng are old-fashioned; they prohibit any outsiders from attending their auctions. So many times, they need a proxy to buy some items, scout some information."

Shen Qiang nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. You act as a purchasing agent and gather information for them, making a living off it. So dealing in magical treasures might just be your side job."

Bianyi laughed, "Brother is a smart man, you really see through things." He then smiled meaningfully and added, "And sometimes some information is more valuable than magical treasures, like, the whereabouts of a guy with low cultivation but a high bounty, where he lives, who his relatives are, such information can often be sold for a very high price."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Oh, that's an interesting business. I have a personal interest in this line. When I'm free, I think the two of us can sit down and talk. Maybe we can collaborate."

Bianyi nodded with a smile, "Great, I love doing business with clear-minded smart people."

Shen Qiang laughed dryly.

Miss Chu Qing's eyes curved with her smile, "Now that we've located the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, I think we should have a drink, and this toast is also to wish Mr. Shen's Datong River Restaurant continued success in the finals."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Thanks to Miss Chu Qing's good words, Datong River Restaurant will certainly strive hard."

"And also, here's to a pleasant cooperation between Mr. Bian and Mr. Shen. However, I'd like to remind Mr. Shen that Mr. Bian's information is very valuable."

Looking at the Beautiful Demon Fox with a smile as radiant as flowers, Shen Qiang laughed, "It's okay, I'm not short of money."

These words made Bianyi's eyes sparkle with cunning and greedy glances.

The entire banquet was immersed in a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

After confirming that the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra was in the hands of Shen Qiang's master, Miss Chu Qing became even more enchantingly beautiful, laughing and talking with such charm that she was the epitome of allure.

But the few sitting at the table each had different thoughts in mind.

Miss Chu Qing wanted the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra.

Bianyi wanted to blackmail Shen Qiang.

Xiu Ju wanted to figure out their backgrounds.

Therefore, everyone wore a false smile on their face.

The dinner party ended promptly at ten o'clock at night.

Miss Chu Qing's driver drove Shen Qiang and Dark Department Xiu Ju back to the hotel.

Once that car had left.

Shen Qiang turned and walked out the door.

Xiu Ju asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Shen Qiang said coldly, "That Bianyi knows I am the new Dragon Group member with a bounty of a hundred million; he has already hinted to me. My information is very valuable, and if he discloses my affairs, all my family and friends will die, understand? So now, I have to go back once, I must deal with Bianyi."

Xiu Ju said, "I'll go with you, they probably won't expect us to make a retaliatory move."

Shen Qiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "I hope so."

Taking advantage of the nighttime, the two left the hotel.

Shen Qiang took out his motorcycle from the Storage Ring.

Just as he started it,

the motorcycle dipped slightly as Xiu Ju got on.

She didn't just sit on the back, her arms wrapped directly around Shen Qiang's waist.

Seeing the helmet on her head, Shen Qiang exclaimed, "Don't you have your own bike?"

"I do, but it's out of fuel," said Xiu Ju from behind Shen Qiang.

"Lies all over!" Shen Qiang pursed his lips, but then drove on, swiftly heading towards the villa where Miss Chu Qing was located.

On the way, since they had visited before, the mobile satellite navigation map was already in his phone.

And since it was late at night and the roads were not very congested, the thirty-five kilometers journey took only about twenty minutes before Shen Qiang and Dark Department Xiu Ju reached the villa where Miss Chu Qing was located.

He stowed the motorcycle back into the Storage Ring.

Looking at the villa emanating light, Dark Department Xiu Ju said gravely, "We can't both go in together, one of us must stay outside in case we need help, so you wait here for me. Miss Chu Qing's cultivation is probably very powerful because I couldn't even see her Fox Demon form."

"Plus, with the Black Bear Spirit and the Octopus Monster, I might not be able to defeat them, so if you feel something is wrong, don't worry about me, just leave and send an emergency signal to the Dragon Group."

Xiu Ju cautiously advised.

Just then, Shen Qiang laughed, "You stay outside instead. This kind of thing is more suitable for me to handle. If something goes wrong inside, remember to rush in and save me!"

In an instant, Xiu Ju was stunned.

Because right before her eyes, Shen Qiang, who had just put on the Nightmare mask, had already disappeared!
