Outside the restaurant in the car, Ali laughed with her eyes curved: "Shen Qiang, you really are such a bastard. That pretty girl, you made her have an upset stomach, and even gave her tissues with chili extract. That's just too malicious."

"Luckily, that girl was smart enough not to take your tissues; otherwise, hahahaha, I'm suddenly looking forward to seeing her scream after using your tissues."

Watching Ali's smiling face, Shen Qiang wiped his forehead with a fine tissue, surprised: "You're mistaking me for Bianyi? I just wanted to teach her a lesson, but I think making her have an upset stomach all night is already enough."

Ali was stunned.

Meanwhile, Qian Shanxue, sitting in the car, said calmly: "Shen Qiang, do you really want to manage this matter?"

Shen Qiang raised his brows, turned his head, and looked at Qian Shanxue, seriously saying: "Don't you think her situation sounds very unusual? As a mother of a young child, she usually adores her daughter, but suddenly she disappears without a trace and abandons her child."

Qian Shanxue said: "It is a bit unusual, but she has already reported this to the police, and specifically requested the Dragon Group to handle it. So an hour ago, I already knew about this, but for this type of missing person report that seems suspicious, there are countless cases every day, but truly missing cases are less than one-thirtieth."

"Because most of them are like this due to the party lying, not answering calls caused by themselves. Some are hiding drinking, some playing mahjong, some meeting lovers, some fishing, some playing games. They just simply don't want to deal with anyone, don't want to answer any calls."

"So unless she can prove that the party's life is in danger, or at least disconnected for over twenty-four hours, the police will not file a case to investigate."

"At that point, it's not about whether the police want to find them—it's about whether they can be found, and different police departments will work together, using all means to find the person. So I think this kind of matter may be better handed over to the ordinary police because, in this respect, they do better than us."

Shen Qiang nodded: "You're right; indeed, there's the possibility that the female teacher just doesn't want to answer the phone, or maybe she herself forgot that the principal changed numbers. But I must understand the situation regarding this matter."

"Because that pretty girl is accusing you, if something actually happened to her, wouldn't Heshenghe be embarrassed?" Ali pouted, eyes full of contempt.

Shen Qiang raised his brows: "Hearing this, I know that you, Ali, don't understand me at all. I've never been the kind to disregard everything for the sake of face."

Turning his head to look at Ali, Shen Qiang said calmly: "The reason I'm concerned about this matter is because I'm well aware that the Provincial City has a permanent population of four million and over a million floating population. Every day, many things that defy logic happen."

"And among these, the most vulnerable victims are elderly, women, and children."

"I know that no matter how hard I try, it's impossible to achieve a society with no thieves."

"But I will help them within the scope of my capabilities."

"Moreover, the most special point in this current situation that Qian Dai didn't mention is that the missing female teacher is a divorced single mother. So even if she went to meet a boyfriend, there's no need to lie or turn off her phone."

Qian Shanxue said: "Maybe it's because her phone broke, like falling into the toilet, getting water into it, or some other situation."

"That's far-fetched; if that were the case, she could borrow a phone or use someone else's phone. And if her phone broke, how did she send a text?" Shen Qiang raised his brows: "Moreover, from my perspective, all of this female teacher's conditions combined fit the profile of a perfect victim."

The three women were startled.

Ali said in surprise: "Perfect victim? What kind of joke is this? This female teacher is a cultivator, and her cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although not considered a master in the Cultivation World, she can wear her underwear outside like Superman when facing ordinary people!"

Shen Qiang laughed: "What if the attacker's cultivation is at the Golden Core Stage? Or the Nascent Soul Stage, or even the Mixed Element Realm? Wouldn't she still be a perfect victim? First of all, she's divorced, living alone with a child, her parents are far away, she works locally, and because she needs to care for the child, she has few friends, only a few colleagues."

Ali raised her brow: "From this point of view, she doesn't fit the profile of the best victim because her life revolves around family, and usually, those who love their home are rarely victimized."

Shen Qiang laughed: "That's because there are strong men in the family and a safe environment, making the bad guys hesitate."

"But this woman's situation is different; accompanying her family is a three-year-old child, parents are far away, colleagues are merely casual acquaintances. If something happens to her, no one will know for a short period."

"Because she doesn't have a husband who would search for her when she doesn't return home."

"Because of the distance, even if feeling something's off, her parents wouldn't come looking within two or three days."

"Therefore, as long as the attacker's cultivation is higher than hers, she is a perfect victim."

Looking at Ali from the corner of his eye, Shen Qiang said: "So don't assume that having simple social relationships, working every day, and heading home means you're safe. You must understand, the elderly, children, and women are always vulnerable groups and easily targeted, so more often, you need to protect yourself."

"Using your preaching?" Ali rolled her eyes.

"You think she's being controlled by a cultivator?" Qian Shanxue said.

Shen Qiang raised his brows: "Of course, don't forget, she is a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator."

Qian Shanxue frowned: "She's been gone too long; having Xiaolei investigate would be too difficult, and in this situation, the easiest, most reliable, and quickest way to find someone is through the police. But without evidence showing the female teacher's life safety is threatened, the police will file a case to investigate at least after twenty-four disappearances. At that point, we can take over, so we cannot..."

"Hush!" Shen Qiang raised a finger, signaling Qian Shanxue to be silent.

Then Shen Qiang took out his phone to report to the police: "Hello, officer, here's the situation: my cousin Li Shuhua teaches at Baihua Art School. Unhappy with her work, she said she was going to meet someone who could get her a job change this morning, but after going, she lost contact, yes, can't reach, I suspect she might have been abducted because she said the person mentioned a work location out of town, um, yes, but didn't say specifically..."

After a long while, Shen Qiang hung up.

The three women stared at Shen Qiang, dumbstruck.

"Did you make a false report? Don't you know that's illegal?" Ali was anxious.

Shen Qiang raised his brows in surprise: "How is this a false report? This female teacher lives a very simple life: work, watch the child, after work, watch the child. If she has to go out, there are only two possible cases: meeting a lover, or looking for a job to earn more, then there's a chance she was abducted."

Ali and Ye Xiaolei looked at Shen Qiang with eyes full of astonishment.

And almost at this time, Qian Shanxue, fiddling with her phone aside, brightened her eyes, then raised her head and raised her brow: "The police have filed a case to investigate."
