At 2:30 PM, when Shen Qiang followed Bianyi into the Leading Pool Club, he immediately noticed a tall beauty bending over to play pool. Her black, form-fitting jeans were tight, accentuating her perfect, perky buttocks and making her legs look incredibly long.

Not only that, her features were also strikingly beautiful. With her almond-shaped eyes, red lips, and dimples blossoming on her cheeks, she looked as glamorous as a pool queen.

"She is one of the most notorious scam artists in Provincial City, a wild horse. If you can't handle her, be careful she doesn't play you for a fool," Bianyi softly warned.

Shen Qiang was astonished: "The good player you mentioned is her?"

"The prettier the woman, the more deceitful she is," Bianyi said with a sigh, giving Shen Qiang a glance before smiling.

Then, Bianyi walked over, smiled, and greeted her, "Hey, beauty, you've got business. My boss, here, would like to ask you to do something."

The pool-playing beauty turned her head, looked at Bianyi in surprise, and when her gaze swept past him to Shen Qiang, she paused briefly, then a smile appeared on her lips. She turned back to her game and continued playing, then said, "I don't know you, so you can leave."

Bianyi laughed: "But I know you're a scam artist."

The leggy beauty calmly pocketed a ball on the table and said, "You've got the wrong person."

Bianyi laughed: "Come off it, you know I'm aware of your background. If I really had the wrong person, the emotion you'd be showing now would be anger, so drop the act and sit down to talk with my boss. It won't be bad for you."

Almost simultaneously as Bianyi was speaking, Shen Qiang, who stood aside, noticed several young men and women who, despite pretending not to know each other, were gathering in their direction with unfriendly expressions.

"Get lost from here. You're not welcome," a muscular man, holding a cue stick, came over and said.

Bianyi glanced at him coldly and said, "My boss is busy and has no time for your nonsense. If you need to be beaten black and blue to understand you should sit down and talk, then feel free to keep up your act."

"Enough!" The pool-playing beauty stood up, turned her head, and looked at Shen Qiang: "I know who you are. You're called Shen Qiang, the real boss of the Shen family. You recently ousted Life-extending Hall, snatched Dinghao, swallowed Ancient Moon Pavilion and Yaqiu, and played Long Yan's people. They're unhappy with you, and you'll fall soon, so I won't make any deals with a dangerous person like you."

Shen Qiang frowned and whispered, "Cultivator."

The long-legged beauty smiled, whispered back the same way, "You're not my match, so don't try to threaten me."

Shen Qiang nodded then whispered, "I've heard you're a scam artist who follows a code, not one to cheat ordinary, kind-hearted people. So, the job I have in mind might interest you."

"I'm not interested in any of your affairs," the leggy beauty said.

After smiling, Shen Qiang went on to say, "I heard they call you Heroic Thief, that you despise evil, and that you take pleasure in dealing with wrongdoers. So I thought you and I were of the same kind, which is why I came to you. But now, I see that you know about me like the back of your hand."

"Not only did you recognize me at first sight, but you also made it clear that you have no interest in me. So, can I take it that I was, or am, one of your targets, or at the very least, a potential one?"

On hearing this, the long-legged beauty's eyes brightened, and she said with a hint of surprise, "You're smarter than I expected."

"So you've really been planning against me. Do you see me merely as a reckless brute?" Shen Qiang smiled.

The beauty with the shapely legs smiled back: "Not just a brute, but also an ambitious man."

Shen Qiang laughed, "If you think you understand me, you're definitely mistaken. In fact, I'm just an ordinary man struggling on the brink of death, hell-bent on surviving."

"You drove Life-extending Hall out and destroyed their livelihood. You killed many people in Shanghai. You strong-armed Datong River and Dinghao." The long-legged beauty coldly stared at Shen Qiang, "So you're just a complete bastard."

Shen Qiang looked at her calmly, smiling, "Then you would never guess, the people from the Zhang Family I killed were because they wanted to kill me. You also can't be aware that my company is developing a cure to completely treat lactose intolerance in infants."

"Furthermore, you have no idea that in order to help a widow friend achieve a perfect and successful life, I gave her a dumpling recipe, only to have her shop smashed. Then those bastards, because she was a widow and they thought she couldn't fight back, came to buy the recipe from her, threatening her by saying the ones who trashed her shop would come back in a few days."

Approaching the long-legged beauty, Shen Qiang looked at her and said, "If you're truly a justice-filled Heroic Thief, when faced with such a situation, I think you'd want to teach those scumbags a lesson, too."

"Of course, if I'm wrong, just say it, and I'll leave right away, without wasting another minute of your time."

With a smile, the long-legged beauty tilted her head back, looking at Shen Qiang, "You don't seem quite the Shen Qiang I'm familiar with, so I think I should give you five minutes to clarify everything. If what you're saying is true, I might consider helping you."

Having said that, the shapely beauty laid her pool cue on the table, then turned and walked to one side.

Shen Qiang and Bianyi smiled at each other, following her into an office within the pool club.

Sitting in her chair with a smile, the leggy beauty lit a slender ladies' cigarette, then quietly listened as Bianyi objectively recounted the whole matter. After a long silence, she smiled and said, "Although I'm still not sure if what you're saying is true, I will check it out."

Shen Qiang laughed, rested his hands on her desk aggressively, and gazed at her, "Putting aside what we've said, since now or maybe earlier you've been making me a target, this is your chance to observe me closely. If you're smart, you should know it's a perfect opportunity for you."

The beauty with the shapely legs smiled, blew a smoke ring, and said, "You really are an intriguing fellow. I can help you, but if I find out you've lied, I'll not only drop out at any time, but I'll also turn against you and your company."

Shen Qiang smiled, "Deal. From now on, you just have to do as I say, and I assure you, nothing will go wrong with the whole affair."

"Do as you say?" The beauty with the shapely legs jeered, smiling provocatively, "Are you up to it?"
