Chapter 1490 - 1493: Helping Without Reservation
Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, Wenren Meiqiao's beautiful eyes flashed, and the restless True Yuan around her instantly disappeared. Especially when looking at the smile on Shen Qiang's lips, she felt inexplicably flustered."Is he encouraging me by saying those things? Does he want me to become confident, to become stronger?"
With a somewhat puzzled look, she sheathed her knife.
Looking at Shen Qiang, who was smiling, Wenren Meiqiao said, "We should investigate those experts invited by the hospital to treat filariasis. Whoever has a bunny at home or traces of having raised one is the suspect."
Shen Qiang chuckled, "You're overlooking something. Go to the hospital, get a list of their records, and have those patients identify who was the one carrying a rabbit cage. If everything is as we deduced, that person would have thought of this as well, so their appearance might be a bit different."
Wenren Meiqiao was stunned and said, "You mean he was disguised when committing the crime?"
Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow slightly, "If he had a lot of facial hair, he could simply keep a big beard and shave it off when going to work. Most people would find him somewhat familiar but wouldn't recognize him."
Wenren Meiqiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately wanted to make a call.
At this moment, Shen Qiang glanced at his watch and calmly said, "Alright, my patience is limited, and I can't accompany you on piecemeal investigations anymore, so let's go. We still have some time; we can just go catch that guy directly."
With that said, Shen Qiang turned around and opened the door, smiling back at Wenren Meiqiao, "What are you standing there for? Let's go, unless you think you don't need my company, then I'll leave."
Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao suddenly snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, "Shen Qiang, what kind of person do you think I am? Do you think I'd burn bridges like you? Let's go, we're heading to the hospital now."
Shen Qiang laughed.
Walking outside, as soon as they reached the outer office hall, Shen Qiang saw a scene of everyone diligently busy, each Dragon Group employee working hard.
But their eyes secretly glanced at Shen Qiang, their lips curved with a mocking smile, and a few of them whispered among themselves.
"Oh, look, Shen Qiang is out. This poser thinks he's something just because he's a Security Advisor. Just now he was talking about upper-class and lower-class people. Haha, look at him, I bet he didn't find any clues."
"Pssh, just now I felt the True Yuan fluctuation of the eternal second place. Haha, do you think the two of them are clueless and ended up arguing?"
"Definitely. If there were clues, Wenren Meiqiao would explode with True Yuan. She's probably groping in the dark with nothing to show for it. Haha, look at Shen Qiang standing there pretending to oversee everything. Does he really think being a Security Advisor is something extraordinary?"
While everyone was secretly sneering and mocking with their eyes at Shen Qiang.
Wenren Meiqiao, having composed herself, followed Shen Qiang with a valiant and spirited demeanor, and just as she was about to leave calmly with him.
Shen Qiang smiled, casually pointing at a few of those who were smirking and whispering, "You guys, follow us."
Instantly, a few people were dumbfounded.
Wenren Meiqiao also looked puzzled. Seeing the bewilderment on her face, Shen Qiang calmly said, "Officer Wenren keenly discovered the evil behind the filariasis. The suspect's actions have seriously endangered public safety."
"Now that Officer Wenren has identified the suspect, but to avoid leaving any loose ends, you are coming with us to catch them."
Saying that, Shen Qiang strode out.
Wenren Meiqiao hesitated slightly but then followed Shen Qiang without saying a word. After exchanging glances, the few others also immediately abandoned their ongoing tasks and followed them out.
They had just left.
The previously busy scene in the office hall of the Dragon Group instantly erupted in chatter.
"What? The case is solved, and they're going to make an arrest? Is Shen Qiang joking? Wasn't the filariasis just a coincidence?"
"Haha, Shen Qiang must be acting all high and mighty. Filariasis has been around for years, it's nothing new. In my hometown, it was quite common."
"Hehe, Shen Qiang is just putting on airs. Trust me, they're going out to make arrests, but it's all nonsense. They'll probably bring in a few people for questioning and then release them."
"Exactly, anyone can see that filariasis was a random occurrence. If there really was a culprit behind it, wouldn't that make Wenren Meiqiao incredibly genius, almost mythical?"
"We have so many experienced people here. None of us noticed anything wrong, and yet Wenren Meiqiao and Shen Qiang did? Do they have horns on their heads or scales on their bodies?"
While the Dragon Group staff were questioning, inside the car, Wenren Meiqiao, who was driving, looked at Shen Qiang sitting calmly in the passenger seat and said, "To the hospital, I think the three of us are enough. Why did you call them?"
Shen Qiang smiled, raising an eyebrow indifferently, "Don't always think you're still in the Combat Team, where all you had to do was slash the enemy. You're now the regional security supervisor of the Dragon Group. You have a large group of subordinates watching you, so you need to demonstrate your capability to them. That way, they won't doubt you, and you can have absolute authority."
Wenren Meiqiao frowned, "Shen Qiang, I really can't tell if you're trying to help me or harm me. As a supervisor, I should foster good relationships if I want their support."
Shen Qiang chuckled and calmly said, "Remember what I said before entering your office? The lower society crushes one another."
Looking sideways at the slightly bewildered Wenren Meiqiao, Shen Qiang smiled, "This lower society doesn't just refer to wealth. It's more about the mindset. In this echelon, characteristics include envying what others have and then mocking what others don't, full of vanity."
Glancing in the rearview mirror at the two cars following them, Shen Qiang calmly said, "Those ordinary clerical staff in the Dragon Group don't know what the Combat Team has been through, so in their eyes, combat team members equate to hot-blooded fools."
"So if you consider them as trustworthy comrades like those in the Combat Team, they'll only think you're a fool. You don't need to please them, just show them competence, authority, a bit of intimidation if necessary because if you're nice to them, they'll think you have ulterior motives and will feel smug about it."
Wenren Meiqiao slightly furrowed her brows, "But taking them for the arrest, I don't see the point?"
"They love gossip," Shen Qiang calmly said, "and embellishing stories. As participants in the case, they'll feel a sense of contribution in their hearts, so later, they'll privately sing your praises."
Wenren Meiqiao was stunned by what she heard, "You mean they'll speak well of me?"
Shen Qiang laughed, "Yes, because they feel they contributed, and when they start boasting about it, others will see them as being on your side, and that will cause fractures in their unity."
