In the following days, the Long Yan Sword Sect was eerily silent.

So much so that Shen Qiang, who was not particularly well-informed in Provincial City, couldn't even perceive any reaction from the Long Yan Sword Sect.

If it weren't for the fact that he could still clearly see the large sign on top of the Long Yan Tower whenever he passed by, Shen Qiang would even suspect that they had all died.

The quieter the Long Yan Sword Sect was, the more Shen Qiang understood that they were definitely planning something against Shen's Holding.

He just didn't know specifically what they planned to do yet.

In those days, Tianyou Medicine's Streptococcus Liquid had become a household name, and the first batch of aid medicine had been smoothly transitioned.

But Shen Qiang only briefly allowed the beautiful teacher Ju Yang to make an appearance.

He left the rest of the matter to the company's assistants and professional managers.

After all, for the beautiful teacher Ju Yang, stabilizing her pregnancy was the most important thing now.

Additionally, the companions of the beautiful heroic thief Jiang Hanyang had followed instructions and turned themselves in, and were temporarily detained. The specific consequences were not clear yet, but their lives were definitely not in danger.

Jiang Hanyang, freed from one of her worries, also began to return to normal.

However, after arranging a position for her in Shen's Holding, her relationship with Bianyi was not very good.

The two of them had differing opinions on many matters.

But it must be admitted that Jiang Hanyang was really impressive.

Especially once she had taken charge of Shen's Holding's public relations department, Shen Qiang could clearly feel that the previously difficult relations with other enterprises had suddenly become much more harmonious.

After all, she was the plotter; she knew how to deal with people as if it were second nature.

This was perfect.

Because Bianyi was actually more of a barbarian suited for blazing new trails. He liked to extort others, blackmail others, and often, his excitement was not because of what he had extorted, but because he enjoyed the process.

And indeed, he reaped numerous benefits from it.

But this guy's bottom line was that he had no bottom line.

Thus, if they always let him have his way, then the corporate image of Shen's Holding would definitely be seen as harsh and unscrupulous.

But with Jiang Hanyang, everything changed.

She brought a whole new image to Shen's, and even Bianyi's extortion became much more elegant.

Besides that.

There was Gao Hui's young son, Shen Qiang's godson.

He was still too small.

He couldn't pronounce "godfather" correctly no matter how he was taught.

And he really loved calling Shen Qiang "Daddy."

After a few unsuccessful corrections, Shen Qiang simply stopped correcting him.

Furthermore, what amused Shen Qiang even more was that even the employees of the bun shop thought Shen Qiang and Gao Hui were a couple, and that the little guy was their offspring.

That matter.

Couldn't be explained.

And couldn't be clearly explained either.

But luckily the little guy was quite cute.

So, Shen Qiang didn't mind at all.

Moreover, Jing Xiangwei also liked this little guy, he always called her "Aunt Jing Xiangwei" in his babbling way.

Whenever Jing Xiangwei had the time, she would take him with her.

This made Shen Qiang very gratified.

After all, it was a good thing from any perspective to have Jing Xiangwei protect Gao Hui, the beautiful young widow.

Not only that.

It seemed that during this time, Gao Hui had privately talked a lot with Jing Xiangwei about Shen Qiang.

Thus, Jing Xiangwei's attitude towards Shen Qiang had also improved a lot.

At least, when calling him "Boss," it was no longer difficult for her to say.

In addition, it must be mentioned that Ji Liangyuan, the fourth brother of Ji Liangchuan, had left.

Before leaving, he specifically came to see Shen Qiang once.

He left a business card with Shen Qiang and then told him how envious he was that Ji Liangchuan had a friend like him.

As for Jing Xiangwei, he did not mention her at all.

This made Shen Qiang believe that he might have acknowledged the difficulty and retreated.

In addition.

Whether it was the business of Xiduobao or Shen's Holding, let alone life, everything was peaceful without any ripples.

But knowing that this was merely the calm before the storm, Shen Qiang was frantically cultivating every day.

The Heavenly Palace Jade Lock he carried, which was weighted, had now reached an astonishing 11,000 kilograms.

According to Xiu Ju, Shen Qiang had already far surpassed cultivators of the same realm in physical strength.

After all, initially, just carrying a weight of 1,000 kilograms had exhausted Shen Qiang, but now, just over two months later, even though he was carrying 11,000 kilograms, he still acted as if nothing was amiss, unaffected in whatever he did.

Thus, Xiu Ju was no longer so worried about the scheduled duel between Shen Qiang and Cheng Hai, because though Shen Qiang was still at the Golden Core Stage and could not ultimately win, in terms of physical strength and bodily power, he already qualified to compete closely with Cheng Hai.

With only ten days left before the duel with Cheng Hai, it was just past nine in the morning.

Shen Qiang sat in his office, discussing some future corporate strategy issues with Xiu Ju, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, Bianyi, and the beautiful heroic thief Jiang Hanyang, when Qian Shanxue, who had been absent recently, suddenly appeared outside the office.

Not just that, the person who came with Qian Shanxue was also a middle-aged man in a military uniform.

Curious about their arrival.

Shen Qiang was curious.

But as soon as Qian Shanxue spoke, his expression immediately turned cold.

"Shen Qiang, we've come this time to serve as mediators in the conflict between Shen's Holding and Long Yan Sword Sect," Qian Shanxue said, "sitting beside me is Colonel Yang Zhiming, he's in charge of this mediation."

Hearing such an introduction, Shen Qiang smiled politely and greeted him.

Then, Colonel Yang Zhiming spoke calmly, "The Cultivation World has its rules, and the Dragon Group hopes to see harmony and stability in the Cultivation World. So, I'm here hoping to mediate for you."

"After all, better to settle feuds than to sustain them. Shen's is a rising star in the Cultivation World, while Long Yan Sword Sect is an established name. As the saying goes, 'When two tigers fight, one gets hurt.' Now, Long Yan Sword Sect has stated its terms, that if Shen's relocates its company out of Provincial City, they will no longer pursue past grievances."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, "So, Long Yan Sword Sect wants Shen's Holding to move out of the Provincial City?"

"Yes," Colonel Yang said seriously, "and from my personal perspective, it's a very generous condition given that you've already angered Long Yan Sword Sect. Once they retaliate, your Shen's Holding will face a disaster."

"Hence, if you move out of the Provincial City now, and they stop pursuing you, it nearly promises the best outcome for Shen's Holding."

Looking at the serious expression of Colonel Yang, Shen Qiang laughed, "There's no need to be so diplomatic in your words; you could clearly say that the Long Yan Sword Sect sent you here to make us get out of the Provincial City."

"It's more or less that," Colonel Yang admitted. "This is your only chance."

Shen Qiang replied coldly, "If that's truly what you think, then you can leave. Whenever you see them, tell them that Shen's doesn't accept any threats, won't bow to any criminal forces, and certainly won't give up its property. If they persist, Shen's will be ready to draw its sword anytime."
