As soon as Ali said this, not only did Shen Qiang immediately wake up, but Ye Xiaolei, who was sleeping beside Shen Qiang, also sat up suddenly and excitedly said, "Really! Doesn't that mean Colonel Qian Shanxue is going to become a general!"
Just as Ye Xiaolei finished speaking, the valiant Qian Shanxue appeared at their door. Seeing Shen Qiang's delighted expression, Qian Shanxue couldn't help but smile and said, "It's just a temporary lead, and it's all thanks to Shen Qiang. Without him, I would probably still be in last place with zero points!"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "The colonel is too kind. Even without me, this case wouldn't have been too difficult for you all."
Unexpectedly, Shen Qiang's modest flattery missed the mark.
Ali mercilessly pouted and said, "Hypocritical! We all know that without you, Shen Qiang, seeing the connection between that Wang Lizhi and the Doushi Temple incident, this case couldn't have been solved. So, Colonel Qian Shanxue praising you is deserved. Saying such insincere words, do you think we can't see through it?"
Seeing Shen Qiang's awkward expression, Qian Shanxue inexplicably giggled for a moment, then put on a stern face, assuming the posture of a cold and proud female superior and said, "The fact is, without you, the case wouldn't have been resolved, so I prepared breakfast for you all."
Finished speaking, Qian Shanxue, with her slightly blushing face, pretended to be calm as she left.
Ali excitedly followed.
After they left, Ye Xiaolei excitedly pounced on Shen Qiang, then gently kissed him on the lips and coquettishly said, "I knew it, you're the best. If you say it's fine, then it surely will be fine."
Shen Qiang laughed, "If you keep saying that, I'll become arrogant!"
Ye Xiaolei giggled, "But it's true."
Shen Qiang smiled, picked up his phone, logged into the Dragon Group website, and entered the Major General selection points page.
He immediately saw Qian Shanxue proudly topping the leaderboard with an excellent score of 187 points.
Ranked second was the previous leader, Wenren Meiqiao, who was known as one of the two flowers of the Dragon Group alongside Qian Shanxue. Her score was 87, which was a full 100 points lower than Qian Shanxue. The gap in points was doubled and more.
"187 points! How can it be that many!" Ye Xiaolei was surprised.
Shen Qiang laughed, "The victims in the Doushi Temple murder case numbered 137, so the remaining 50 points should come from Wang Lizhi. That's why the score is high. But this is good; with a high score, it will stop others from thinking they can surpass Qian Shanxue."
Hearing this, Ye Xiaolei burst into laughter, pointing at Wenren Meiqiao, who ranked second, and said, "Her battle declaration seems so ridiculous now. With your help, Colonel Qian Shanxue has obviously crushed her. The Dragon Group people will laugh at her."
Shen Qiang smiled at this, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Want to bully my superior? They need my permission first."
At the same time.
Thousands of miles away.
A slender, fair hand slammed onto the table with a thud, startling the two female soldiers in military uniform sitting nearby, who then sat up straight.
"That bastard Qian Shanxue!"
A stunning woman in a white casual suit, with a tall, shapely figure and fiery eyes, said, "She clearly had zero points before, and now her score is so much higher than mine, making me look like an idiot!"
"Why should the Colonel mind so much?" said a woman with short bangs applying lipstick, sitting next to her with a light laugh, "Qian Shanxue is only temporarily leading. The Colonel's strength will definitely not lose to hers."
Despite the pleased look in the alluring woman's eyes, her tone remained stern.
"Don't patronize me with those words. I must defeat Qian Shanxue. Her dream is to become a general, so defeating her and taking her chance to become a general will be my victory."
At this time, a female officer sitting upright hesitated a moment and said, "Colonel Wenren, there are two slots for promotion this time. You and Colonel Qian Shanxue are already ahead. As long as you maintain this..."
"I want to be first!" the curvaceous woman angrily declared, "I'm sick of Qian Shanxue winning every time. I don't want to be eternally second."
The lipstick-applying woman laughed, "Colonel Wenren, you're the one who said you wanted to compete fairly with Qian Shanxue. Otherwise, our points wouldn't be so little."
The shapely Wenren Meiqiao sharply replied, "That's out of respect for my opponent. I want to win over her fair and square, so she has nothing to say."
The lipstick-applying woman chuckled.
At this moment, a sudden applause erupted from the corner of the room.
Whoosh!
A gleaming silver light flashed by.
A snow-bright long sword sliced through the curtain, the bright blade pausing just at the neck of the person in the corner.
If the blade advanced another inch, a head was sure to fall.
"Colonel Meiqiao's temper is as fiery as ever." The man standing in the corner gently pushed aside the sharp blade with his finger. The blue scorpion tattoo on the tiger's mouth made the present female officers exclaim in surprise.
"Captain Blue Scorpion!"
"Blue Scorpion!"
Amidst the cries of the women, a tall, well-built man emerged from the corner, his sharp military uniform revealing a handsome, chiseled face full of spirit.
The curvy, white-suited Wenren Meiqiao put away her long sword and coldly said, "Are you here to laugh at me too?"
Blue Scorpion smiled and shook his head, "I'm here to comfort you."
Whoosh!
A flash of silver light, and a strand of hair gently fell from Blue Scorpion's forehead.
"What comfort?" Wenren Meiqiao sharply asked, "Isn't it because you all think I'm not as good as Qian Shanxue!"
Hearing this, the man with the blue scorpion tattoo on his tiger's mouth smiled, then slightly raised his eyebrow and said, "A time span of over thirty years and 187 victims. I thought Colonel Meiqiao would realize that such a complex case couldn't be solved by Qian Shanxue because she is a War General. In her eyes, there's only battle, and battle again, to the death!"
A moment of silence filled the room as Wenren Meiqiao's eyes flashed, and she raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
The man with the blue scorpion tattoo on his tiger's mouth smiled, eyes narrowing, his expression bearing a seven-part resemblance to Bianyi.
"If Qian Shanxue couldn't solve the case, then someone else surely did."
Upon hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao's eyes turned cold as she said, "Are you saying she cheated?"
"I didn't say that." The man with the blue scorpion tattoo on his tiger's mouth smiled and said, "But as a good friend, I think it's necessary to remind you, in the Provincial City where Qian Shanxue is located, they have the Dragon Group's only Security Advisor, Shen Qiang. He is notoriously cunning and treacherous, with hundreds of Demons under his command. If someone like him assists, forget about just over a hundred points, even if she wants ten thousand points, it wouldn't be hard."
Looking at the stunned Wenren Meiqiao, the man put his general's cap on and smiled, "Hope you remember, I didn't say anything. Goodbye, Colonel Meiqiao, have a pleasant day."
Afterwards, the man left.
After he left.
The curvy Wenren Meiqiao slammed the table into pieces with a thud, her face frosty, grinding her teeth in fury, "Despicable! Shameless! Shen Qiang, huh? You dare help Qian Shanxue cheat, let's see how I deal with you, you sneaky bugger!"
