Staring at these remarks, Shen Qiang frowned, because it was clear that Wenren Meiqiao's admirers were using this method to show their favor to her. After all, being a beautiful woman and as famous as Qian Shanxue, having many pursuers was understandable.

So Shen Qiang didn't take it to heart at all.

But then, a comment from a guy named Qing Xie caught Shen Qiang's attention.

"As the name implies, a security advisor is supposed to provide assistance when needed regarding security. Yet, Shen Qiang is working as a security advisor but refuses to offer safety assistance. Is such a security advisor even necessary?"

These words from Qing Xie instantly set off a wave of criticism against Shen Qiang.

"Yes, Colonel Qing Xie's right. Shen Qiang is too lousy, flaunting the title of security advisor but not doing his job. His security advisor title should be revoked."

"I agree. Come on, as a security advisor, shouldn't you just do what you're told? A mere lieutenant, not even opening his eyes to see that everyone here is a field officer."

"Exactly. Wenren Meiqiao is Shen Qiang's superior. Asking him to provide assistance is reasonable. If he refuses, then he might as well quit."

These kinds of comments flooded the screen, with countless people jumping out, basically holding the same attitude.

At this moment, Shen Qiang was quite surprised to see Ali was also present.

Her words were rather blunt.

"Don't use minor authority as major orders. Have some decency. So what if one is a Colonel? Who authorized Wenren Meiqiao to mobilize security advisors at will across the military district? Talking about military rank levels, I'm a Major. Can I just move any soldiers from your other military areas?"

As soon as Ali's words appeared.

The entire page was silent for at least thirty seconds.

"Shen Qiang isn't a soldier, he's a security advisor, so where there's a need, he should go there," someone with the ID "Feng Zhongyun" said.

Ali immediately sneered, "Since you say Shen Qiang isn't a soldier, it means Colonel Wenren has no authority to mobilize him. Then what are you doing? Lacking men? Go to the bar, find someone. Bringing the Discipline Committee in to question, what a joke, obviously trying to bully people."

Feng Zhongyun immediately replied, "Major Ali, watch your words. The Discipline Committee is preparing to question Shen Qiang; it has nothing to do with you."

Ali mercilessly ridiculed, "You're not even from the Discipline Committee, yet you dare to talk nonsense here? Why shouldn't I speak? Oh, only officials are allowed to set fires, huh?"

The entire chat window was remarkably silent.

After all, everyone speaking here had verified accounts in the Dragon Group, and while the names used might not be real, the actual information was visible to each other, so speaking recklessly would definitely spell trouble.

"Shen Qiang is a security advisor, but if he can't offer security help, then he as a security advisor is worthless," Feng Zhongyun commented.

Ali retorted, "His value is not for you to decide, and he doesn't serve you personally."

"Colonel Wenren Meiqiao works for the Dragon Group, which exists to protect Huaxia, so everything is for the country and the people," Feng Zhongyun stated.

Ali scoffed, "Stop exaggerating. Shen Qiang has made plenty of contributions to the safety of the Dragon Group and Huaxia. Just because he didn't follow your liking, you dare to sow discord like this. What's your motive? What do you want? Internal strife? Want to mess with Shen Qiang? Then do it. Produce evidence, or just shut up."

Ali's fiery words made Shen Qiang want to laugh, but yes, she always seemed to have such an unyielding temper.

More crucially, Ali was clearly standing up for Shen Qiang.

Yun Shangwu countered, "Major Ali is indeed sharp-tongued, want evidence? Shen Qiang's refusal of Colonel Wenren Meiqiao is evidence."

Xun Xiang said, "Can Wenren Meiqiao's request represent Huaxia? Can it represent the Dragon Group?"

Feng Zhongyun snapped, "His refusal is wrong."

Xun Xiang replied, "Narcissist, thinks her pretty face means everyone should revolve around her. My Shen Qiang just won't go, so what? Making a fuss over trivialities, well, let's talk this out thoroughly and stop acting like everyone's scared of you."

As the screen erupted in arguments.

An administrator muted the entire chat window.

So the entire page fell silent.

Xun Xiang's words were displayed there like an announcement, looking inexplicably awkward.

At this time, three avatars appeared on the screen.

One was an unfamiliar middle-aged man, another was Wenren Meiqiao, and the last was Shen Qiang.

The unfamiliar man looked at the screen and calmly said, "Advisor Shen Qiang, I am an investigator from the Discipline Committee, ID 041, and I'd like to understand why you refused to assist Colonel Wenren Meiqiao."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled, "I think I already told Colonel Wenren Meiqiao clearly on the phone. I'm busy, that's all."

The unfamiliar man paused, then said, "Colonel Wenren Meiqiao, what do you think?"

With a stunning face but rage-filled eyes, Wenren Meiqiao instantly replied coldly, "I believe Advisor Shen Qiang holds a grudge against me. He prefers to sit in his office drinking tea rather than helping me because he might have reached some deal with a degenerate woman."

The unfamiliar man raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Advisor Shen Qiang, we need you to explain."

Shen Qiang calmly raised an eyebrow, "Explain what?"

"The potential deal, the negative impact of refusing to offer help, and your attitude towards your work as a security advisor."

Upon hearing the unfamiliar man's words, Shen Qiang smiled, but before he could speak.

Everyone clearly saw what appeared to be someone placing a note in front of Wenren Meiqiao, and then she immediately said, "Advisor Shen Qiang, because you refused to help, my mission is bound to fail, for which you must take full responsibility. Given your lack of responsibility, I believe you are unfit to serve as a Dragon Group security advisor."

Simultaneously, the chat window displayed a notification that the mute had been lifted, and suddenly dozens of messages popped up on the screen.

"Colonel Wenren is right. Shen Qiang didn't provide help, resulting in mission failure. He must take full responsibility."

"Yes, if you don't want to provide help, why be a security advisor? Just resign!"

"If you don't want to work, just get lost. The Dragon Group doesn't need someone irresponsible like you."

At this moment, looking at the numerous comments, Shen Qiang sitting on his chair laughed and said, "The mission failed because of your incompetence."

The screen went silent instantly.

Wenren Meiqiao was stunned, then fumed, "What did you say?"

Shen Qiang grinned, "Didn't hear it? Then let me say it one last time, listen carefully: If your mission fails, it only proves your incompetence, and it has absolutely nothing to do with me."

Then, Shen Qiang put away his smile, gazed coldly at the camera, and said, "Moreover, you need to understand one thing, which is that I'm a security advisor not because you want me to be, but because I want to be!"

"So..." Shen Qiang coldly raised an eyebrow, looking at the surprised eyes of Wenren Meiqiao, and calmly said, "When I say I'm busy, I'm busy. If anyone dares to waste my time on such matters again, I won't be polite."

Having said that, Shen Qiang directly closed the page.
