When Shen Qiang hung up the phone, Xiu Ju looked at him and raised an eyebrow, "What scientist? Bianyi is just a criminal! But he's right; if Colonel Li indeed purchased those materials and mixed them together, he could make a lot of explosives. However, I think there's something off about this."

"Very naive." Ji Wei, sitting on the sofa to the side, said abruptly.

His words made the three Great Demons from the Happiness Gate exchange puzzled glances, as if they couldn't understand what he meant. Only Feifei seemed thoughtful, while the big black dog stared blankly at Ji Wei, with a look of 'what are you talking about' on his face.

Observing their reactions.

Sitting behind the giant desk, Shen Qiang smiled.

Leaning comfortably in his chair, Shen Qiang said, "That Colonel Li isn't an idiot. He's very cunning and has dealt with all sorts of criminals over the years. He should have already thought that the former female disciple of the Long Yan Sword Sect, though she may admire him and possibly had an affair with him, is still just a woman and wouldn't be able to withstand Bianyi's torture."

"In this situation, unless Colonel Li lost his mind or went crazy, he wouldn't tell the woman about his purchase of a large quantity of materials for making explosives."

Xiu Ju smiled, "That guy attempting to kill with a borrowed knife can't have such simple thoughts."

Ji Wei remained silent.

Instead, it was Feifei who spoke, "A madman couldn't have avoided my and Little Black's tracking."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang said calmly, "Then let's assume Colonel Li hasn't lost his mind. Knowing that the woman would be found by Bianyi, caught, and unable to withstand his torture, why would he tell her such an important thing?"

"Because he wanted you to know these things," Ji Wei said, "People usually believe what they've discovered themselves more strongly."

Shen Qiang smiled, "Indeed, after going to great pains to dig up a woman involved with him and torturing her, what she confesses tends to be very believable. Especially for ordinary people, under those circumstances, they would inevitably believe her."

"However, since Colonel Li is the leader of the Dragon Group in the Provincial City, he wouldn't be stupid enough to hand over his weakness to a woman, nor would he allow that woman to give his weakness to us."

"This whole thing is a trap!" Xiu Ju raised an eyebrow, "He's trying to make you believe you've gained the upper hand, that you know everything."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Yes, people with the upper hand often become blindly confident, giving him an opportunity."

"So those explosives might not exist at all, just a ruse to confuse us." Xiu Ju raised an eyebrow.

"Not necessarily," Ji Wei said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang glanced at Ji Wei, feeling even more comfortable. After all, having a subordinate who isn't an idiot can sometimes be very pleasant.

"Those who lie well know that to make others believe your lie, it's best to mix nine parts truth with one part lie, so they won't realize it's a lie. Colonel Li is very clever. I can even predict that if we follow this lead, we'll not only find the receipts for his materials but also surveillance footage of him taking the materials away."

His words instantly energized everyone in the large office.

"So you think he's actually made a large amount of explosives?" Xiu Ju's eyes sparkled.

Shen Qiang smiled, his gaze going past the office window to the numerous construction workers transporting sand and materials in the villa yard. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, "Yes, but he doesn't want to blow me up. He wants to fundamentally destroy my and Heshenghe's reputation. So, what could be more satisfying to him than leveling the entire villa?"

"His target is here!"

Xiu Ju stood up abruptly, quickly walking to the window. Gazing at the workers finishing the final touches in the villa, her eyes gleamed, "Heshenghe is a late bloomer in the Cultivation World, gathering many demons. Colonel Li is stubborn and morally rigid. He can kill streetwalkers without a second thought because, in his view, it's not a crime."

"So, if possible, rather than killing you, he would prefer to destroy Heshenghe, because, in his mind, wiping out a demon base would be the ultimate honor and true justice."

"Makes sense." Shen Qiang smiled.

Then Shen Qiang called Bianyi, "Tell him I'll be there on time."

Bianyi laughed, "Got it, my dear boss."

Hanging up, Shen Qiang led the group to the restaurant. Seeing the table full of delicious food, Ji Wei seemed to have no appetite. At that moment, a disciple from the Zhong Family's medical house came up in a hurry, carrying two thermal boxes.

He placed the large thermal containers in front of Ji Wei.

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "This is your lunch; I hope you enjoy it."

Ji Wei opened the thermal box in surprise, and his eyes lit up.

"Ten bags of whole blood! How did you get them?"

Seeing Ji Wei's excited eyes, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "You work at the Blood Station, so you must know that besides you, there are also many blood dealers outside the Blood Center."

Ji Wei raised an eyebrow, "Their price is more than four times the Blood Station's. One thousand milliliters of whole blood costs 1100 yuan at the station, but blood dealers would ask for over 5000!"

"That's the benefit of having money." Shen Qiang calmly sat down to eat. "You don't need to kill or work. Just offer a high enough price, and plenty of people will line up to sell you blood."

Ji Wei was thrilled.

Just as he picked up a bag of whole blood to drink, Xiu Ju raised an eyebrow and said, "Mr. Ji, can you enjoy your meal elsewhere? It's affecting my appetite."

Ji Wei laughed, grabbed the thermal boxes, and moved to a corner of the restaurant.

Watching his back, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "After you're full, don't forget to work for me. This afternoon, no one from Heshenghe will step in. I want you to capture Colonel Li alone."

Hearing this, Ji Wei flashed an OK hand gesture.

The ancient beast Feifei looked curiously at Ji Wei's back and lowered her voice, "Boss, do you think he can handle it alone? Colonel Li has been in the Provincial City for over a decade; he's bound to have loyal followers…"

"Trust him." Shen Qiang said, eyes bright with excitement. "His strength might just amaze you! So, this afternoon, let's sit back and watch how Ji Wei captures his prey."
