Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at each other in dismay.

Because for everyone present, it was clear that Shen Qiang had ties with the Dragon Group, even if he didn't mention it. After all, Qianshan Xue and Aili were very close and familiar with Shen Qiang, so there was no way anyone would believe he had no connection to the Dragon Group.

Not only that, but more importantly,

Shen Qiang was not only going to publicly reveal his identity as a member of the Dragon Group, but he also wasn't asking for the position of a combat team medic. So, what exactly did Shen Qiang want?

"Shen Qiang, don't think that by capturing Colonel Li, you have the qualification to negotiate with the higher-ups. You don't have that qualification," Captain Wu said sharply.

Shen Qiang smiled, "I already told you, you better watch your mouth. Whether I have the qualification to request an identity or not depends on the higher-ups, not you. So, just shut up, and no one will be embarrassed."

Hearing this, Captain Wu's face darkened.

Almost at the same time, Qian Shanxue had already dialed the phone and said, "Shen Qiang refuses to hand over Colonel Li to us, and he wants to publicly reveal his identity as a member of the Dragon Group, but not as a combat team medic. What do you think?"

"Hmm, okay, I understand."

Qian Shanxue then operated the phone and said, "Shen Qiang, the higher-ups want to discuss this with you, so I have initiated a phone conference invitation for you."

Shen Qiang smiled and took out his phone.

At this moment, Qian Shanxue glanced at Captain Wu and said, "The invitation includes Captain Wu."

Shen Qiang didn't object.

But this made Captain Wu, who was standing in the office, his face looking slightly better.

The phone conference connected.

The phone on speakerphone clearly transmitted a low, solemn voice: "Shen Qiang, I am the Commander of the Dragon Group's North District Combat Team. My surname is Liu."

"Hello, Commander Liu," Shen Qiang smiled, "Here's the situation. Colonel Li of the Dragon Group openly murdered innocent people, carried a large amount of explosives, and many innocent women, and broke into the Heshenghe Mountain Villa. He is now captured by me."

"Hand him over to Captain Wu; we will deal with him seriously," Commander Liu said.

Shen Qiang laughed, "No, I said before, in the areas I can manage, Heshenghe will not allow any cultivators or demons to harm innocent people without a death sentence for any reason. Colonel Li is no exception."

"You only plagiarized the rules of the Dragon Group. I don't understand why you're so smug about it," Commander Liu's voice was low.

Shen Qiang chuckled, "Yes, I did take this line from the many rules of the Dragon Group because I think this rule is particularly good, and since I am also a member of the Dragon Group, I particularly agree with this point."

"Since you know you are a member of the Dragon Group, you should follow orders and hand Colonel Li over to Captain Wu. We will punish him severely," Commander Liu said.

Shen Qiang smiled, "How will you punish him? Execution or..."

"That's not something you should question," Commander Liu said.

Shen Qiang stopped smiling and said calmly, "I think, given Colonel Li's status, even if he killed a few street girls, he wouldn't be sentenced to death. And I believe that once he returns to the Dragon Group, there will be people stepping forward to say things like his past contributions and merits should offset his crimes."

"That's not something for you to consider," Commander Liu's tone was cold.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Indeed, I'm just a specially recruited Lieutenant of the Dragon Group, a trivial role. These matters are not for me to consider, so let's consider it from the perspective of the head of Heshenghe."

"You're a Captain now," Commander Liu interrupted, "Hand him over to Captain Wu."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Don't joke around. My current identity is the head of Heshenghe, not the combat team medic of the Dragon Group. So, the primary factor I consider is Heshenghe's interest."

"What do you want to do? Lieutenant Shen Qiang, you're wasting everyone's time," Commander Liu said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang calmly raised an eyebrow, "As the head of Heshenghe, I must uphold my own and Heshenghe's dignity. After I announced the rules of Heshenghe, Colonel Li openly challenged me."

"If I hand him over to the Dragon Group, everyone will think my words are meaningless."

"But, if I drag him out and continue to make an example of him, the entire cultivation world will respect Heshenghe."

"How dare you!" Captain Wu roared from the office, "Colonel Li is a member of the Dragon Group. Who dares to move him!"

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow calmly, "Shut up, or I'll have you thrown out of my office."

"You!" Captain Wu was furious, but Commander Liu said, "Little Wu, calm down."

Then he said calmly, "Shen Qiang, I understand what you mean. You want to sacrifice your career to shape the image of Heshenghe, but this means betrayal, and your actions will bring shame to the Dragon Group."

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow calmly, "Paper can't cover fire. If you don't want to expose your flaws, you'll have to hide them. So I said before, I will first reveal my identity as a member of the Dragon Group, then kill Colonel Li. That way, both the Dragon Group and Heshenghe will look good."

Commander Liu frowned and said, "It's you and Heshenghe that will look better because if you do that, everyone will think the Dragon Group supports Heshenghe. If any issues arise in the future, the Dragon Group will take the blame."

Shen Qiang said, "If you can't make the decision, you can continue to consult higher-ups."

Commander Liu was silent for a moment then said, "I will, but now, I want you to go to Colonel Li's side. Let us see him."

"No problem," Shen Qiang said calmly, "But I'm not very patient, so if you're going to hold a meeting, do it quickly."

Saying this, Shen Qiang got up, took Ji Wei, Xiu Ju, and the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, and walked out, "Alright, since you want to see the Colonel, I'll let you see him."

They went downstairs, walked back, and through the training ground and garden. Shen Qiang led Captain Wu, Qian Shanxue, and the many combat team members of the Dragon Group to a spacious basement.

As soon as they entered the basement, everyone was stunned.

Because at this moment, Colonel Li was bound to the wall of the basement, covered in blood, with several surgical knives stuck in him.

As they were shocked, Bianyi, with a smiling face, approached and then smiled at Shen Qiang, saying, "My dear boss, this tough guy Mr. Li has disappointed you. I only stabbed him five times, and he's already changed his mind and confessed!"
