In the office, through the glass window, Xiu Ju massaged Shen Qiang's shoulders while watching with a slightly furrowed brow as Jiang Hanyang, the beautiful heroic thief sitting in the lounge area outside the office, frantically contacted her subordinates. She questioned, "Is she really Jiang Hanyang, the beauty known as the best plotter among heroic thieves? I feel like she seems a bit foolish."

Shen Qiang laughed and looked at the busy Jiang Hanyang outside the office, "Xiu Ju, your current identity is a student of the Graduate School at Medical University, so you'd better not say these kinds of things that give you away when other people are present. There's an old saying in Huaxia that goes, 'involved parties are confused, spectators see clearly.'"

"Very often, many smart people, when faced with sudden incidents, and matters that are very important to them, will breathe rapidly, feel anxious, and in severe cases, even experience a feeling of complete mental blankness."

"For example, at the moment of a car accident, or when a usually good student enters an exam and draws a blank, or when they prepare to confess love but forget every word in front of the person they adore."

Shen Qiang looked up at the astonished Xiu Ju and calmly said, "From a medical perspective, this is due to strong emotional states inhibiting brain activity, causing thought stagnation and mental exhaustion."

"It's very common."

Smiling and patting Xiu Ju's hand to indicate she needn't continue massaging, Shen Qiang said indifferently, "More serious conditions include rapid heartbeat from emotional impact, the person freezes up, doesn't run away, doesn't scream, the brain just goes blank, creating blind spots where they see nothing."

"Medically, this condition has a specific term, called derealization."

"Simply put, from a neuropsychological standpoint, strong emotions can result in narrowed consciousness, making one oblivious to their surroundings, giving a sense of being detached from reality."

"That is why it is always said that when facing situations, one must remain calm because by calming one's own strong emotions, one can pay attention to external events. And it is because of this mechanism that physicians should not self-medicate or treat their close kin, as under the influence of strong emotions, no one can guarantee they won't make mistakes."

Xiu Ju was taken aback, "I seem to have read about these things in textbooks."

Shen Qiang smiled, "Really? Then you better not say things that give you away so easily next time."

Xiu Ju pouted playfully, "Got it."

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow slightly and turned his head to look at the heroic thief Jiang Hanyang in the office lounge area outside, continuing, "Clearly, Jiang Hanyang is a smart person, but her companions are very important to her. Now, three of them have already died, and the rest might die soon as well."

"In such circumstances, with internal anxiety, regret, rage, worry, under the influence of various emotions, she already has no way to lay out everything calmly like before."

Bianyi chimed in with a smile, "But she is still a smart person because she has already realized that she is no longer fit to carry the burden of rescuing her companions, so she has chosen to come to us instead of acting like some idiots who just blindly make a mess."

Shen Qiang calmly instructed, "Call those bastard lawyers of yours, tell them to be on call 24 hours a day. No matter where Jiang Hanyang's companions surrender, they must get there as quickly as possible, making the local police aware that they aren't ordinary fraudsters but fraudsters with a powerful legal team behind them, which will ensure their safety much more."

Bianyi nodded, "No problem, I have already prepared for this. Jiang Hanyang said she would let them surrender for one case, but it's not the Shunhua case, and the case value isn't that great."

Shen Qiang calmly raised an eyebrow, "The value of the case isn't the issue, as long as the case occurred in Provincial City. No matter where they surrender, they will be transferred to the police in Provincial City. As long as we eliminate the threat afterward, we can pay to reach an understanding, and then have the lawyers get them probation."

"Moreover, personally, I believe that in some ways, putting them in prison might actually make their lives safer."

Bianyi smiled, "I understand, boss. But are you really prepared to go head-to-head with Long Yan now?"

Shen Qiang frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Opportunities don't come twice. The people from the Long Yan Sword Sect have deliberately created panic by leaving the corpse on the riverbank. On one hand, they are putting pressure on Jiang Hanyang to force her to show herself, and on the other hand, they are demonstrating their power to us again."

"The implication is that those who smashed the bun shop are fine, but those who deceived Shunhua must die."

Looking at Bianyi, Shen Qiang slightly raised an eyebrow and said, "Besides, on a deeper level, after the discovery of the corpse, the police will conduct a comprehensive investigation of the corpse's origin, including his past and who he had contact with, and where those people are. When the police find the others to learn more, it's almost as if the police are delivering the others into the hands of the Long Yan Sword Sect."

Bianyi asked, "Do you think they will take action during the police's transfer process?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "The Long Yan Sword Sect isn't that foolish. If they dare to act maliciously in front of the police, whether it's during the transfer process or in prison or detention centers, as long as they dare touch Jiang Hanyang's friends, I guarantee that the Dragon Group will draw their Big Sword and beat the Long Yan Sword Sect to a pulp."

Bianyi laughed and then asked in a serious tone, "So what do we do now?"

"Wait for Hao Deben's news," Shen Qiang said. "We need to use Jiang Hanyang to lure out the opponent. This opponent is very capable and confident. He brazenly left the body by the lake, and after putting pressure on Jiang Hanyang, she has successfully appeared at Shen's Holding."

"He must be feeling very proud and confident now, so the next thing he will want to do is to personally catch Jiang Hanyang."

"And the best opportunity, no doubt, is when Jiang Hanyang seeks our help and leaves Shen's Holding."

Bianyi laughed, "I understand. Since Jiang Hanyang has appeared at Shen's Holding, it means she hasn't realized that she's been calculated. So, when she's alone and unaware of the danger, it will be easy to take action."

Xiu Ju's eyes gleamed, "That means the person who calculated Jiang Hanyang will definitely show up!"

Shen Qiang indifferently raised an eyebrow, "Yes, our current opponent is being complacent. This excited and proud mood, just like sadness, fear, and anger, will affect his brain function, causing blind spots in his thinking and consciousness."

"Therefore, the essence of warfare is speed. The quicker this is done, the better because if time drags on, the other party may become calm. Once he becomes cautious, it's uncertain whether we can catch him or not."
