"One hundred thousand... five hundred million!" Xiu Ju's beautiful eyes widened in horror. "Shen Qiang, did they really transfer five hundred million from Bianyi's account to yours? My goodness! How is that possible!"

Compared to Xiu Ju's shock, Shen Qiang's gaze was not only cold, but he also said in a stern voice, "Only five hundred million? As expected, this bastard is thinking of letting my Datong River go for cheap. Do you know, if I agreed to sell fifty percent of Datong River, I wouldn't dare claim more, but thirty billion, definitely no problem."

No sooner had Shen Qiang finished speaking than his cell phone rang. He saw the number and knew it was Bianyi.

The call connected.

Bianyi's voice was dark and threatening. "Shen Qiang, a sum of money just arrived in my account. How did it immediately transfer to yours?"

Shen Qiang replied indifferently with a raised eyebrow, "The transfer note was very clear, wasn't it? It's the private debt you owe me."

"Shen Qiang!" Bianyi suddenly yelled, "Don't get cocky! Cough, cough." After calming his breath for a moment, Bianyi suppressed his rage and said, "Shen Qiang, stop playing games with me. Listen up, I know you're the Nightmare Mask Man from Dragon Group. I also know that it was you who personally killed Jing Haotian."

"Now I'm giving you one minute to transfer the money back, then come to the Tuberculosis Center, kneel in front of my bed, apologize by kowtowing, and cure my sickness, then I'll let this all slide as if it was nothing. If you dare say 'no' to me, the moment I leave, I'll make all of this public!"

"Not only that, I will also reveal your home address, and that of your girlfriend. Understand? Those cold-blooded killers love young, beautiful girls the most. For a hundred million bounty, they will fry your women before killing them, and after killing, they'll rape them."

"They will also chop off their beautiful hands and feet, put them in a box, and mail them to you. They'll even sever their beautiful heads and place them by your bedside. So, Shen Qiang, you'd better not act rashly. Just obediently return the money to me and kneel in front of my bed, beg for my forgiveness. Otherwise, you and your women are as good as dead."

Shen Qiang's face was chillingly cold.

Just then, with the sound of a text message notification, Xiu Ju's eyes lit up, and she immediately placed her phone in front of Shen Qiang.

With a glance, Shen Qiang saw the text message read:

The Lanpu Company servers have been seized, and all related information to Captain Shen has been archived.

Seeing this, Shen Qiang laughed.

Hearing Shen Qiang's laughter, Bianyi on the other end of the phone asked in confusion, "Shen Qiang, have you lost your mind from fear?"

Looking at the text on Xiu Ju's phone, Shen Qiang let out a sigh of relief and said, "Bianyi, in attempts to quickly liquidate my assets, you sold half of Datong River for just five hundred million. Very well, you're truly impressive. You've got guts; you really didn't take me, Shen Qiang, seriously at all, selling my stuff without a second thought."

"Shen Qiang, don't forget, with a flick of my finger, you and your girlfriend, your whole family will die!" Bianyi said icily.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. You're really confident, aren't you? I just want to know where this confidence comes from. Is it from your crappy cybersecurity company's servers? Or from your Mingxuan antique shop? Or maybe that pawnshop?"

Bianyi was taken aback and shouted angrily, "Shen Qiang, what did you do?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Nothing much, I just took the things you had hidden in the Lanpu Company servers."

"Impossible!" Bianyi shouted, "You're bluffing me, right?"

Shen Qiang laughed again and said, "It's up to you what you think. But I'll tell you this: the five hundred million in your bank account, indeed I took it. The transfer note said it's the debt you owe me, of course, I suppose you wouldn't acknowledge it. So, you can sue me, take me to court, even go to the police and claim that your bank account was theft."

"Meanwhile, I will use this money to hire the best legal team to fight you in this lawsuit. Normally, for such disputes, the court would opt for at least two mediation sessions outside of court, and only if mediation utterly fails will they decide to hold a trial."

"With a good legal team, dragging this case out for two or three years shouldn't be a big issue for me."

"Moreover, at Datong River, I've already given them a heads up. They will endlessly find excuses to delay matters with the person you sold Datong River to. I suspect the guy who has already paid five hundred million won't have much patience."

"So, I'm kindly reminding you now, Bianyi, you should start running. Otherwise, the person who coughed up five hundred million without getting the money back or the Datong River might just lose his patience and chop you into pieces in a fit of rage."

"Despicable!" Bianyi yelled and then began coughing violently.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Despicable? Compared to you, I'm as clean as a saint."

On hearing this, Bianyi grew desperate, "Shen Qiang, don't think for a second that because you've taken the server, I have no way of dealing with you. I still have a voice; I'm not dead yet. I can reveal everything about you exactly as it is."

"Bianyi, you're truly naive," Shen Qiang chuckled. "Even in the Cultivation World, whistleblowing relies on evidence. Do you have photos? Recordings? Any evidence that can prove what you're saying is true? If you can't produce any, I suggest you keep quiet."

"Because nobody would be foolish enough to come after me just because you said so. What you say only proves that you bear a grudge against me, nothing more."

Bianyi angrily said, "Shen Qiang! Return the server to me, and I'll give you the five hundred million, how about that?"

"You'll give it?" Shen Qiang laughed, "Are you joking? That's the debt you're repaying to me. As for the server, no way I'm going to give it back to you. But you can rest assured, I'm not a criminal; I won't use that server to blackmail you."

"Because I'm reasonable, you see, I'm a doctor, I can cure diseases. I've heard you enlisted the help of more than a dozen authoritative doctors to treat your condition? Believe me, what they can't cure, if you hand over the investment management company you control as payment for my treatment, I think I can cure your tuberculosis."

"Shen Qiang! Dream on!" Bianyi roared, followed by violent coughing.

Listening to Bianyi's harsh coughing, Shen Qiang laughed again, "Bianyi, you don't seem quite lucid yet, still not understanding what's happened. Let me tell you now, the tables have turned between us. You're seriously ill with no power to threaten me anymore, while I hold the power over your life and death."

"Cough! Cough! Ha, ha, ha, Shen Qiang, mere tuberculosis, do you think that can scare me? What is five hundred million? I can afford the loss. If you fight me, I will make sure you have no place to rest in peace!" Bianyi taunted.

Shen Qiang said calmly and seriously, "Fine, then come at me. Our cat and mouse game has just begun!"
