Looking at the hopeful old man, Shen Qiang laughed, "You've been accepted. You can rest assured, I will live longer than you."

Upon hearing this, the sea turtle's eyes gleamed, "I am full of anticipation."

With that, he left Shen Qiang's office.

After they had all left, Xiu Ju laughed, "Keeping a turtle at home is a good omen for longevity. 'Turtle comes, returns home.' That's very nice. I was about to go to the market to buy one for you, but unexpectedly, a divine guardian turtle came by itself."

Shen Qiang laughed, "That's good. There are many trivial matters at home, and an experienced housekeeper can help us handle many of these tasks, giving me more time. Plus, from his words, I could sense that what he really wants is a home."

Xiu Ju fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Are you planning to let them all live in the mountain villa?"

"Definitely in the mountain villa," Shen Qiang said. "None of them are human, and although they don't have a criminal past, that doesn't mean they don't harbor ill intentions. Ordinary people speak without depth, and I'm not comfortable letting them go to the company. Besides, the mountain villa currently needs more staff."

"That black dog makes a good gatekeeper; his cultivation isn't weak, his demands are simple, and he isn't scheming. The two mountain spirits can tend to the plants and flowers, the timid rabbit spirit can be left in the back mountain to watch the mountain, and that arrogant birdman can be called upon when we need someone to fight."

Hearing this and seeing Shen Qiang fall silent, Xiu Ju teasingly said, "What about the big-eyed Feifei? Why don't you talk about how to arrange for her? You aren't thinking of giving her a room in the house, are you?"

"I'm not that desperate," Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "Let her stay in the mountain villa for a while, then we'll see how things go."

Xiu Ju raised an eyebrow noncommittally.

After all this was settled.

It was already noon, and Shen Qiang went to the Datong River Restaurant on the second floor with Xiu Ju and Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing.

After making a call, the beautiful young woman Gao Hui and Jing Xiangwei were both busy in the shop and couldn't come.

Su Xiaonuan and the beautiful teacher Ju Yang arrived.

Everyone sat down for the meal, and it was enjoyable and harmonious.

But just as they were halfway through their meal, Shen Qiang's phone rang. It was Qian Shanxue.

Shen Qiang answered the call, "If you want the DNA of those demons, just wait a bit. Someone will deliver it to you this afternoon."

"The DNA isn't urgent. Shen Qiang, urgent mission. I need you to return to the team immediately, and head to University City, Dance Academy! Move out now!"

After these abrupt words, the call was directly disconnected.

Shen Qiang was silent.

On the side, Xiu Ju transmitted her voice, "Dragon Group's mission?"

"Yes," Shen Qiang transmitted back.

Xiu Ju said, "Then you go. I'll stay here and eat with them."

As she spoke, Xiu Ju abruptly scooped up Jin Chan, who was standing by the bowl eating, and roughly stuffed her into Shen Qiang's pocket, saying, "We'll eat, you go deal with your matters."

Shen Qiang agreed and said goodbye to the women.

He hurried downstairs.

And drove directly to University City.

In fact, with Shen Qiang now owning assets worth several tens of billions and being the newly risen overlord of Provincial City, even if he didn't return to his squad, the Dragon Group wouldn't have much to say about it.

However, one must not forget where one comes from.

Without the Dragon Group's care, without Xiu Ju, without the Newcomer Protection Program, Shen Qiang would have likely perished long ago, and wouldn't have today.

Moreover, as a cultivator with ideals.

Shen Qiang certainly didn't wish that as soon as he became the top boss of the Cultivation World in Provincial City, there would be cultivators committing crimes on his turf.

Because that meant provocation.

Amidst the roaring of engines.

The sports car quickly arrived at University City, and as soon as it reached the side entrance of the Dance Academy, Shen Qiang, from within the car, could already see that the police had cordoned off a small park by the river next to the Dance Academy. Although many people were nosily trying to peek, they couldn't see what was happening inside.

Shen Qiang parked his car by the roadside and immediately spotted Ali in her uniform.

She immediately waved to Shen Qiang.

And said something to a police officer beside her.

The police officer gave Shen Qiang a surprised look and lifted the cordon for him.

Shen Qiang went in and saw Ye Xiaolei's pale face and asked, "What happened, why the rush?"

Ye Xiaolei, somewhat nervous, said, "A bizarre female corpse, you'll see it when you go further. Colonel Qian Shanxue and Ali are there too. I still need to ask the patrol officer a few questions."

"Alright," Shen Qiang nodded.

He then walked through the trees of the riverside garden.

Just as he got to the riverbank.

The moment he saw the female corpse, Shen Qiang was stunned.

By the river, next to a small tree, stood a perfectly sculpted beauty, her left arm embracing the trunk of the tree like holding a lover.

Her left foot tiptoed while her right leg kicked back.

Her right hand was in a prayer-like pose.

Her entire skin was snow white.

Her posture was provocatively enchanting, and though she was naked, her face bore a pure, saint-like smile.

"She is beautiful," Shen Qiang marveled. "As cruel as it sounds, if one were a bit farther away, I might consider it a perfect sculpture."

Dressed in a military uniform, Colonel Qian Shanxue glanced coldly at Shen Qiang and said icily, "Her name is Cao Jiayi, a ballet student at the Dance Academy. Three days ago, she went to a modeling audition and then disappeared."

"And just half an hour ago, she appeared here out of nowhere."

Turning to Shen Qiang, Colonel Qian Shanxue said seriously, "Ali can't reconstruct the scene because there are no traces that can prove how she got here. To avoid disturbing the scene, I want you to handle this case."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned, "What do you mean? I'm in charge?"

"Yes." Colonel Qian Shanxue looked at Shen Qiang with a cold expression, "She disappeared three days ago, exactly when those demons came to join you. You interviewed those demons this morning, and then this female body appeared here; I can't believe that this whole thing has nothing to do with you."

"Do you want me to compensate for her life?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow.

Colonel Qian Shanxue said, "You have an alibi. Of course, you don't need to compensate with your life, but you need to take responsibility. Whether from the perspective of being a member of the Dragon Group or from Heshenghe's point of view, you're obliged to clarify this matter. So, don't just stand there, get to work."

"Why? I'm not a detective," Shen Qiang said, eyebrows arching in surprise.

Colonel Qian Shanxue said coldly, "You're indeed not a detective, but you're a doctor. Autopsy her, thoroughly investigate, and don't miss any clues."

"You're treating me like a forensic doctor?" Shen Qiang said in surprise.

Colonel Qian Shanxue nonchalantly raised an eyebrow and said, "If you feel this is disrespectful to you, I might as well treat you as a Superman who wears his underpants on the outside. But this is an order. Start the autopsy immediately; we need valid clues because, through our investigation, there are six more missing girls from the Dance Academy."
