Back upstairs, Ali and Ye Xiaolei were watching TV in the large living room on the first floor with the beautiful warrior Kang Luoying. The show was a dating program, and the three women were thoroughly engrossed, as lights flickered on and off.

Seeing Shen Qiang about to leave, Kang Luoying quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Shen, are you going out? Do you need me to accompany you?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang, who had just greeted Ali and Ye Xiaolei, smiled and said, "Alright, come with me."

With that said.

Shen Qiang took her out of the back courtyard and got in the car, with Kang Luoying sitting in the passenger seat and Shen Qiang driving.

They drove silently all the way to the city.

The car was very quiet.

Kang Luoying did not seem to be a talkative woman either.

In the small space, a faint fragrance wafted from Kang Luoying. Seeing her quietly sitting beside him, Shen Qiang calmly asked, "Have you gotten used to staying here recently?"

Kang Luoying hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's okay, much more comfortable than at the Qingyun Sword Pavilion. The food is good, the sleep is good, and it's much more lively."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I never quite understood, what is your relationship with the deceased Young Master of Qingyun Sword Pavilion?"

Kang Luoying hesitated for a moment and said, "He was my cousin; we shared a great-grandfather, and my grandfather and his grandfather were brothers."

Shen Qiang nodded and asked, "How was it when you were at Qingyun Sword Pavilion? Did they treat you well?"

Kang Luoying thought seriously for a full five seconds and said, "They treated me okay, but they weren't good to my parents and brother in the past. They even forbade my brother from joining the Sword Pavilion, so my brother now drives for others, those big trucks."

"That's very tough," Shen Qiang said offhandedly. "You're so talented and excellent, didn't they consider giving your brother a new position or something?"

Kang Luoying said, "My brother wouldn't go. He says he's living well now."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Very courageous, he must be a good person. Driving long distances in big trucks isn't very safe. If not, let him come here. Heshenghe Logistics is just short of a team leader. He knows the field and can come help me."

Kang Luoying was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Shen, thank you. I am very grateful for your willingness to help him. I'll talk to him about it, but whether he accepts depends on his own thoughts."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Tell me about you then. Qingyun Sword Pavilion is very likely to start a war with us soon or with Hidden Sword Villa."

Upon hearing this, Kang Luoying was taken aback: "I haven't heard anything."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Hearing this, my first reaction should be to take the opportunity to sow discord between you, but I think it's better to respect you a bit more. Baihua Palace is hosting a treasure show, and your people from Qingyun Sword Pavilion will attend as well. I know the Qingyun Sword is with you."

"So, at that time, you will go with me, and then go back to support Qingyun Sword Pavilion."

Kang Luoying nodded, her beautiful eyes shining as she said, "Mr. Shen, thank you for your noble moral character."

Shen Qiang said, "No need to thank me, it's only human nature. After all, you are from Qingyun Sword Pavilion, and they are all your clan. Helping them is natural. I just hope if the situation changes and Qingyun Sword Pavilion must battle with our Heshenghe, you don't harm the people in the back courtyard."

Kang Luoying froze and said, "I wouldn't. These sisters are all very good to me, I definitely wouldn't harm them."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang lightly smiled and said, "I hope so, because if you ever intend to harm them, then I will stop at nothing to kill you, as they are very important to me."

Kang Luoying's beautiful eyes were serious as she hurriedly said, "Mr. Shen, the sisters have been so good to me, and I would never do such a thing."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I believe you."

The car arrived at the Heshenghe Building, and it was already after office hours.

After calling Bianyi to come to his office, Shen Qiang asked Kang Luoying to wait in the car, then went upstairs. When he reached his office door, the smiling Bianyi was looking at Shen Qiang with a grin, saying, "My dear boss, you wouldn't come to me so late without having encountered a tricky problem."

Shen Qiang glanced behind him and said, "Where's Zuo Lianghao?"

"I just asked him to go downstairs and wait for me in the car." Entering the office with Shen Qiang, Bianyi laughed and said, "After all, I still don't trust him completely."

Shen Qiang smiled and, raising an eyebrow as he sat in his seat, said, "Bianyi, you used to be my enemy, and I thought more than once that I should eliminate you. But now I trust you because I know you're an ambitious guy. I need people like you around me."

Bianyi laughed and said, "You usually only intimidate and bully me; suddenly saying this, things must be pretty troublesome."

"Qingyun Sword Pavilion and Hidden Sword Villa are playing the trick of pretending to be innocent," Shen Qiang said. "Recently, they've been purchasing a large number of medicines and Flying Swords. Considering Baihua Palace's treasure show, we have reason to believe they intend to make a move against us."

"Smart," Bianyi frowned and said. "Hidden Sword Villa just transferred the logistics center in the Red Queen District to us. Even though the contract is signed, their people haven't left, it seems they plan to lull us into carelessness. If we really relax our vigilance, we might suffer a great loss."

Looking at Bianyi, Shen Qiang said, "They are prestigious sects with hundreds of years of history. It's inconceivable that they would willingly be under our control, which is understandable. For their benefit and long-term plans, their desire to eliminate Heshenghe is expected."

"A battle between them and Heshenghe is inevitable," Bianyi said. "Because we are surrounded by them, if we want to develop, we have to expand, and the first thing we would touch would naturally be their interests. In the past, the Long Yan Sword Sect was a second-rate sect, flattering everyone around, without the strength to threaten them."

"But we are different. Our Heshenghe is now strong, making money daily, and the longer it drags on, the stronger we become. For instance, as of now, in the Dinghao Hotel, there are dozens of demons with good cultivation levels waiting to join Heshenghe, waiting for your interview. So whether it's Baihua Palace, Carefree Valley, Qingyun Sword Pavilion, or Hidden Sword Villa, they surely have the thought of eliminating us early to avoid future troubles."

With his hands clasped together, body leaning forward, Bianyi smirked at Shen Qiang, saying, "So my dear boss, if you have clearly recognized the present situation, you should understand that unless we come up with a bigger, fiercer, and more ferocious Wolf-toothed Big Stick than theirs, we simply have no way to peacefully coexist with them."
