Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong, arrived punctually with the Engineering Team at the Medical University's basketball gym.

They tried hard.

But unfortunately, for Shen Qiang, who was so precise he could perform surgery on capillaries, the basketball hoop was as big as a swimming pool. Thus, whenever Shen Qiang shot the ball, it was a guaranteed score. In the end, with Shen Qiang's firepower fully unleashed, they only played half a game. Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong simply chose to admit defeat.

Because it was impossible to play.

From any angle, any position, as soon as Shen Qiang got the ball, it went in.

What's the point in playing then?

Lan Yong was fast enough to keep up with Shen Qiang, but his skills and stamina weren't sufficient, completely unable to block Shen Qiang.

Wu Zhaoyang had the advantage in height and weight, among other aspects, but he couldn't keep up with Shen Qiang's speed.

The conclusion was that for Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong, facing Shen Qiang and Ji Liangchuan, the game was simply unplayable.

With that, the basketball game between Wu Zhaoyang and Ji Liangchuan, due to Shen Qiang's participation, ended with a 2-3 loss to Ji Liangchuan.

It meant that Ji Liangchuan could continue to swagger on the basketball court.

After the game.

In the shower room.

The fair-skinned, tall, and handsome Ji Liangchuan stood under the shower, sneaking glances at Shen Qiang. His gaze swept over Shen Qiang's abs, and inadvertently his eyebrows lifted as he smiled and said, "You've got a great body."

Shen Qiang responded indifferently, "Speak your mind or fart if you must, but don't beat around the bush with me because I'm not in the mood for your bullshit."

Turning around, Ji Liangchuan smiled at Shen Qiang and said, "Actually, I don't understand what's so great about women. You're obsessed with women, so is my fourth brother—they're annoying, they're hateful, and their way of thinking is simply bizarre."

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, surprised. "You're a Ph.D. in medicine, do I need to educate you on why, for the sake of gene transmission, men are naturally interested in women?"

Ji Liangchuan laughed, "Of course not." He then hesitated, changing the subject, "I'm serious, I hope you can help my fourth brother. We're friends, right? Look, I even attended your grand opening."

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow helplessly and laughed, "Do I need to return your gift money to you? This isn't kindergarten, can we stop with the ridiculous talk?"

Ji Liangchuan looked at Shen Qiang with disappointed eyes and asked in astonishment, "Are you saying we are not friends?"

"Yes," Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows. "But only the kind that is very ordinary, acknowledged only when being polite. So don't bring up your fourth brother and that Xiangwei in front of me again. From my perspective, your brother is a nutcase, and that woman is too."

Ji Liangchuan's eyes instantly lit up, "You think so too? That's exactly what I was thinking."

Shen Qiang, washing his hair with closed eyes and lathering his head with foam, said, "So I can't help, and also, you should tell your fourth brother that it's not just Xiangwei who doesn't want to marry him. Her parents feel the same way. Otherwise, they could just stop giving her money, leave her no place to live, and no food to eat, she'd cave soon enough."

"Now that she wants to call off the wedding, she's facing no trouble at all and lives comfortably, which means her parents support this. So tell your brother to drop it and move on with his life."

Sneaking peeks at Shen Qiang, Ji Liangchuan's eyes immediately brightened.

"I got it."

"Got what?" Shen Qiang asked, puzzled.

Ji Liangchuan said with clear eyes, "The real key to my fourth brother's issue doesn't lie with that woman, but with the woman's parents. Their so-called relentless refusal is nothing but an excuse concocted by the Jing Family, huh, this means the Jing Family has played us."

Shen Qiang was taken aback, "You're also a lunatic."

Having said that, Shen Qiang stepped under the showerhead.

Ji Liangchuan watched the shampoo foam flow down from Shen Qiang's head, streaming from head to toe, and smiled, "Let's have lunch together at noon."

After rinsing off the foam, Shen Qiang turned off the shower, grabbed a towel, walked out, then said coldly with a raised eyebrow, "No time, I have to accompany Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong to lunch, they lost and must be feeling pretty bad right now."

"How about dinner?" Ji Liangchuan asked with a smile.

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "No time, I have to be with my girlfriend."

Ji Liangchuan frowned, "Then when will you be free?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after, maybe next year or the year after, whenever I'm free, I'll give you a call."

Having said that, Shen Qiang strode away.

Leaving Ji Liangchuan alone in the bathroom, his eyes full of disappointment.

After exiting the bathroom, Shen Qiang took Xiu Ju straight to a restaurant outside of the Engineering University.

Wu Zhaoyang, Lan Yong, their girlfriends, Hao Deben, and the rest of the basketball team were all there—over twenty people, filling up two whole tables.

Shen Qiang chatted with them, drank, and the atmosphere was boisterous.

The meal lasted until nearly dark before it ended.

After the lively dispersal, a sober Xiu Ju drove the car as she and Shen Qiang went to pick up the beautiful teacher, Ju Yang, and Su Xiaonuan, and the few of them happily went to a restaurant in the city for dinner.

Shen Qiang was safe on his side, without any anomalies.

However, at that moment, Ding Maofu's home was already in complete disarray.

"One is worse than the next, I've had enough of you, every time you tell me that you're not just a minor manager, you're someone with big ambitions, that you're going to make something of yourself—but look at what you've made now!"

An unattractive young woman said, "And you even called to tell me that you obtained all the recipes from Datong River—if the dishes from Datong River tasted like this, I guarantee you, they would have closed down long ago. So you scumbag must be deceiving me, do you think this will keep me from leaving you?"

Ding Maofu's face was ashen as he angrily said, "I was scammed, this is a scheme designed by Datong River, they concocted it all to deceive me."

"Make up more stories, keep lying, right, you have no money because you were cheated of fifteen million by Datong River," the young woman snapped, "I'm pregnant, you won't divorce to marry me, you won't take me as your wife. On one hand, you sweet talk me about how beautiful the world outside is, and on the other hand, you talk about your own bright future."

"But what's the reality?" the young woman said angrily, "You're just toying with me like I'm a fool, we're done. I'll abort the child, find a job in peace, marry an honest man, and you...never come looking for me again."

Having said that, the woman turned around, slammed the door, and left.

A disheartened Ding Maofu remained silent for a long time, then all of a sudden, like a madman, he picked up a frying pan and smashed a whole table's worth of Truffle Steak and various other dishes he'd made following the recipes into a mess.

Then he put on his coat, left the house, and went straight to the office building of the Long Yan Group.

He thudded to his knees in front of an office door and said, "I am guilty, Shunhua Company was scammed out of fifteen million, please help me."
