"Framing!" Shen Qiang roared furiously, "That bastard Li Wei!"
Xiu Ju calmly looked at Shen Qiang and said, "Calm down, look at the comments below."
Shen Qiang suppressed his anger, then read further, gradually calming down.
"Damn, this method is so crude, so lacking in technique, how could it possibly be Shen Qiang's doing? Do they think we are all idiots? Shen Qiang is the King of Demons, the demons willing to pledge allegiance to Sheng He are queuing up. Even pulling out a random one would handle the matter cleanly and beautifully."
"Is this an attempt to frame Shen Qiang?"
"The method is quite cruel and indeed hateful. I believe this guy deserves to die, but I absolutely don't believe that this is the work of Shen Qiang or Sheng He because even if Sheng He wanted to establish authority, they would have killed the monks at Doushi Temple, killed a few women, and then claimed credit for it. Shen Qiang isn't someone who thinks with his butt."
These comments cooled Shen Qiang's rage a bit, but just then, Shen Qiang's phone rang. It was Qian Shanxue calling.
"Ji Wei has gotten into trouble, go check the morning paper's headline."
Shen Qiang immediately got out of his car, rushed to the newspaper stand in front of the supermarket at the entrance of the residential area, bought a morning paper, and as soon as he opened it, he saw a photo on the front page of Ji Wei standing in front of a refrigerator, drinking blood plasma from a blood bag.
"Dangerous, bloodthirsty schizophrenic!"
Then, Shen Qiang just glanced briefly.
He discovered that this front-page headline article not only detailed how Ji Wei drank blood but also publicly revealed his identity, workplace, position, and employment status.
After taking the newspaper back to the car and handing it to Xiu Ju,
Shen Qiang drove off.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiu Ju looked at Shen Qiang in surprise and asked, "Where are we going?"
"They're forcing Ji Wei to react," Shen Qiang said while driving. "Ji Wei who's been exposed can no longer continue working at the Blood Station, and Ji Wei, whose true identity has been revealed, will inevitably be interrogated. If he loses control and harms someone, or decides to rob the blood bank, then the Dragon Group will intervene, and the rules set by Sheng He will become a joke."
"You're speeding," Xiu Ju calmly reminded him, then said, "I still don't quite understand what that person is trying to achieve."
Shen Qiang glanced at Xiu Ju and said, "He wants to force the Dragon Group to act to make the Cultivation World realize that they, not Sheng He, are the true rulers. This is not just provocation; he wants to set us back to square one."
Xiu Ju, surprised, said, "But the Dragon Group has always been the Cultivation World's behemoth, that's an indisputable fact."
Shen Qiang, after a moment of silence, said, "I need to find the evidence."
After saying this, Shen Qiang clearly felt Xiu Ju quiet down beside him. After a short pause, Shen Qiang said, "That person wants to instigate a conflict between us and the Dragon Group because, according to convention, when this kind of incident occurs, the first thing the Dragon Group would do is to question me."
"We, Sheng He, would also become suspects under investigation by the Dragon Group, and in such a situation, if Sheng He cooperates with the Dragon Group, then every demon and Cultivator member will have to step forward for questioning."
"And you can't accept that, can you?" Xiu Ju asked with a light laugh from the passenger seat.
Shen Qiang said, "It's a very time-consuming affair. If we cooperate with the Dragon Group, we will be permanently labeled. If we do not cooperate with the Dragon Group's investigation, it means a direct confrontation with them."
Xiu Ju laughed, "Then that person can manipulate our response to further hit us."
"Exactly," Shen Qiang said coldly.
Xiu Ju said, "Actually, the simplest solution in this situation is to catch the real culprit and hand them over to the Dragon Group, which would solve everything."
After glancing at Xiu Ju, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "What if that person is the local head of the Dragon Group?"
After a moment of silence, Xiu Ju said, "Take him down, then seek forgiveness afterward."
Shen Qiang said, "He knows this city better than we do. Trying to find him among over four million people is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Everyone has a weakness," Xiu Ju said with a smile, tossing the newspaper aside. "Find it, and he will come out on his own."
Shen Qiang's eyes lit up, "Smart!"
Then, while driving, he dialed Bianyi's phone.
"That Colonel Li from the Dragon Group who grabbed you by the collar last time has caused us a lot of trouble. I want you to force him out as soon as possible. You can use any method, but do not kill him."
Laughter came from the other end of the phone, "Oh, my dear boss, trust me, he will soon appear before you obediently. However, if you could provide some useful hints, I believe the process could be significantly shortened."
Shen Qiang smiled and said, "He has a younger brother named Li Wei, from the late-stage department of the Dragon Group. From what I've observed, Colonel Li has an almost fatherly affection towards this younger brother."
"Wow! I think I've got an idea. Oh, my dear boss, wait for my call."
The call ended.
When Shen Qiang drove Xiu Ju to the Blood Station Sanatorium in the Red Queen District, it was already 8:40 AM.
He drove the car into the yard.
As Shen Qiang and Xiu Ju got out of the car, they saw that more than a dozen journalists had already gathered in the sanatorium, seemingly there for an interview.
At that moment, one of the female reporters' eyes brightened, her face flushed instantly, and she crossed her legs tightly.
"Mr. Shen!"
She immediately rushed over.
Attracted by this address, many other journalists' eyes lit up and swarmed over.
"Mr. Shen, why are you here?"
"Mr. Shen, as the chairman of Tianyou Medicine, are you here to look into Ji Wei, the patient with severe schizophrenia?"
"Mr. Shen, is Tianyou Medicine preparing to research mental health drugs?"
Shen Qiang offered a polite smile but said nothing.
Xiu Ju blocked them, saying, "I'm sorry, everyone, Mr. Shen is very busy. If there's any news, we'll let you know."
That said,
Xiu Ju turned and followed Shen Qiang upstairs.
They reached the third floor of the Blood Station Sanatorium.
Pushing past a security guard who tried to stop them, Shen Qiang stepped into a small meeting room on the third floor.
He immediately saw Ji Wei sitting quietly there, staring expectantly at a portly, bald old man seated behind the conference table, looking like a prisoner.
"Old Ji, although we've long noticed that there's something off with your thinking, we have always turned a blind eye because you're an old comrade. However, now that this matter has made the front-page headlines, we can't help you anymore. Therefore, the committee has decided that you are suspended from duty and must undergo treatment at a mental hospital. When the hospital confirms that you have no issues at all, you can come back to work."
"Alright!"
"The director is wise!"
Amidst the applause, Ji Wei's eyes grew chillingly cold.
