It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Lin Yue closed his eyes and looked like he was still unconscious.

But the blood at the corner of her mouth could not be faked. It must have brought back bad memories, and she used this method to forcibly suppress the emotions in her heart.

Xu Shi smiled confidently; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Lin Yue didn't know that Xu Shi had seen everything she did just now. Although it was only a one-way window, there were surveillance cameras in the gym.

She forcibly woke the other person up, her eyes filled with uncontrollable anger.

She was actually sober, but she just didn't want to show her cowardly side in front of Xu Shi.

"Are you going to torture me again?"

And she was not stupid enough to question Xu Shi about those things. She just gritted her teeth and said angrily.

"Don't think too much, Miss Lin. Am I a bad person? I have nothing to do all day and night to torture others for fun."

Unexpectedly, Xu Shi just shook his head slightly.

"To be honest, I'm a little fed up... so I might as well just let you go."

Chapter 62 How can there be someone as good as me?

After hearing what Xu Shi said, not to mention Lin Yue herself, Su Lin and Jiang Chengcheng were no less surprised than she was.

Su Lin: Let him go? This is not like the young master's style. He got tired of playing in less than a day? No, no, the young master must have other ideas, right...

Jiang Chengcheng: Who is this woman? Why was she tied up in the inner room by Director Xu? Tsk, I don't like her...

"What did you say?"

Lin Yue even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, "Let me go?"

"Yeah, let you go."

Xu Shi confirmed very seriously, "How is it? You have never seen someone as tolerant as me, right? I don't even pursue those who want to kill me... Why don't you say thank you, Mr. Xu?"

That expression left no doubt that he was speaking from the heart.

“…Who knows if you have other intentions.”

But Lin Yue still didn't believe it, so she gritted her teeth and turned her head away.

"You don't understand me, so I don't blame you for thinking this way."

Xu Shi sighed with regret, "But don't think too badly of me, little sister... I may torture you, but to be honest, I still admire you."

"……Clam?"

"Really, trust me."

Xu Shi's eyes were sincere. "Because I can understand why you came alone to assassinate me... It's because Spark has suffered a series of setbacks recently, and you can't bear to see your leader Shenhe in a dilemma, so you took the risk, right?"

"This kind of loyalty is so rare... Or let me guess, it's not just loyalty? Is there also admiration and longing buried in the heart?"

"..."

Lin Yue was speechless after hearing this, because what the other party said was basically true, but she didn't know why Xu Shi made this clear.

"So, based on your sincerity, I am willing to give you a chance."

Xu Shi smiled, "Go back and regroup. Maybe one day in the future, you will be able to really kill me and fulfill your wish...right?"

At this moment, at least at this moment, he looked quite generous and very upright.

But unfortunately, Lin Yue did not feel Mr. Xu's personal charm.

Xu Shi's words made her feel even worse - it seemed that he certainly didn't know that she had left the organization, and although his feelings for Shen He were still there, they were no longer as pure because of his actions.

What she longed for was the Shen He who had once led everyone to eliminate the evil of Sin City and establish a new order, but not necessarily the Shen He who was now living under someone else's roof and indifferent to her own feelings.

But now is not the time to dwell on this. She was stunned for a moment, then confirmed again, "Are you really...going to let me go like this?"

Xu Shi spread his hands and said, "I never lie."

"Don't think this will change anything."

Lin Yue regained some composure, looked at him coldly and said, "One day, you will pay the price for your arrogance."

"The truth is, even if there were a hundred of you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be my match."

Xu Shi ignored the fact that she took his kindness as a waste and just nodded to Su Lin.

The other party understood what he meant, walked behind Lin Yue, and injected a shot of sedative into her neck.

"…Before you send her back, remember to change her clothes. It's terrible if they are so tattered."

Before losing consciousness, Lin Yue heard Xu Shi's instructions.

The other party said to himself very gently, "How can there be someone as nice as me?"

……

"Congratulations, Master, your acting skills have improved a lot."

Looking at the unconscious assassin sister, Su Lin couldn't help but complain, "Even I almost believed it."

"That being said, I really want to keep my promise and let her go back, okay?"

Xu Shi rolled his eyes at her and said, "If you go against me again, I will deduct one month's salary from you."

However, this wasn't some seven capture and seven release drama. It was a different era now and he didn't have the time or energy to do that.

It’s just because letting Lin Yue go back is more useful than detaining her.

He now needs to build a force of his own in Sin City, and the assassin little sister is undoubtedly a good candidate.

Is she the enemy? It doesn't matter.

From the moment the seed of "evil thoughts and entropy increase" was planted, poor Lin Yue was destined to be played around in his hands.

Although it was fun to use the "victim consciousness implantation", the main course cannot be missed... In fact, the emotional feedback brought by Lin Yue is not much weaker than that of Xia Wuyou and the others.

Hers was even more complicated.

Now is the time when she is most disappointed with Shen He, but the feelings in her heart may not be cut off. When these two emotions are mixed together, it seems that many strange chemical reactions will occur.

As for herself, it was simpler - the modification of the Hexagram Assassin in front of her was just for her to see, and the enhanced "evil thoughts entropy increase" also made Xu Shi very confident that she would not break her inner demon because of it.

On the contrary, she would only become more terrified of herself as she thought back on it all.

Of course, one more thing needs to be added, that is, under the influence of "victim consciousness implantation", she has a subconscious masochistic tendency.

Just like a duckling looking for its mother, this M attribute will only come out when she is facing herself, and only herself can satisfy her desire in this regard.

So, what will happen when these different seeds are intertwined together at the same time... wow, it's so exciting just to think about it.

But then again, Lin Yue alone is not enough. She is just the beginning, and we need to find some more partners for her.

Just like... looking at the hexagram that was still maintaining a submissive posture, Xu Shi blinked.

Letting Lin Yue witness her transformation is not just to make her afraid of herself.

"Okay, okay, we're starving after all this time, let's go get some midnight snack."

He stretched hard, not wanting to think about it for the time being, "Chengcheng, come along too? You've done a great job just now, I have to reward you well."

Jiang Chengcheng was giggling secretly, thinking about some irrelevant things in his mind.

Admiration and longing? Loyalty and love? Hehe...

It took her a while to recover from this. Her first reaction was to wave her hands repeatedly, "No, no need. This is my job. Director Xu, you don't need it..."

Although they were all rejections, compared to a certain unknown woman named Xia, this was more like a flattery.

"Really?"

Xu Shi looked at her with interest.

"…Thank you very much."

Jiang Chengcheng finally followed his inner thoughts and boldly tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Also, can you, can you just call me Chengcheng from now on?"

"if you are willing to."

Xu Shi smiled and nodded, "Let's go, we can talk about other things after dinner. It's my treat, order whatever you want."

Seeing that he did not refuse, Jiang Chengcheng was so happy that she almost fainted.

Su Lin's reaction was rather indifferent. She silently watched the intimate interaction between the young master and his best friend with no expression on her face.

But before leaving, she kicked Lin Yue on the ground intentionally or unintentionally.

I don’t know if this is her way of venting.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 63 He is more effective than medicine

For Xu Shi, what he experienced today was not a big deal.

So he didn't make any noise about it - including the hexagram sent by Lin Wenhua, as if this had never happened.

But for other people in the "Snake Ring", the situation may not be so easy.

In just three days, nearly one-third of the board members had been assassinated to varying degrees.

In fact, the relatively comfortable environment in these big cities has made many people's sense of crisis somewhat weakened.

But after hearing about the attacks on the two heirs of "Shark Tooth" one after another, those in high positions immediately became more vigilant and arranged higher-level security measures both at home and outside.

But they still couldn't withstand these attacks from the dark - in the assassins' sudden and precise actions, several people were not spared.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was the aftermath of the fight between Xu Shi and Lin Wenhua, and it had affected them... There was no possibility of reconciliation between the two of them, but it seemed that neither of them was willing to make things clear first.

Help, is it too late to resign now?

But to be honest, the more grassroots the employees are, the less they need to worry about this kind of thing happening to them. They are just workers and are not even qualified to be burned by this fire.

When they talked about it after dinner, they were actually excited. It was a good thing that the dog capitalist died.

But as we talked more, everyone noticed a problem.

Assassinations against top executives of the consortium are not always successful, and the assassins will inevitably leave some clues.

Several members on the margins of the board chose to disclose it to the Audit Bureau, but the information they provided showed...it seemed like they were all the same person?

Because they all have one thing in common – a red six-pointed star tattooed on their necks.

"Hiss, speaking of this, I seem to have heard of something."

In the corridor, several old employees gathered together to smoke. "You should know that Mr. Xu and Mr. Lin are brothers, right?"

"Well, so?"

"But Mr. Lin rarely participated in the company's affairs before... It seems that he and Mr. Xu have an agreement that one of them is responsible for the company and the other is responsible for the company. If there are some things that Mr. Xu is not convenient to do, he will let Mr. Lin do it."

"For this purpose, Mr. Xu even gave Mr. Lin a large sum of money specifically for this purpose, asking him to train some killers and assassins... and the symbol of these people is the six-pointed star on their necks!"

"Ah? Doesn't that mean... the recent commotion was caused by Elder Lin?"

Everyone usually browses the deep web, so this kind of thing is not surprising - there are many killers and hackers there with their prices clearly marked, which has long been a major feature of Night Crime City.

They are more concerned about the matter itself.

"I think so. Director Xu has been at odds with Mr. Lin recently, and he's so strong-willed. Maybe that's why..."

Several people were discussing heatedly, not even noticing that their hands were hot from the cigarette butts.

How could the board of directors not know something that even the grassroots employees knew?

Although the version circulating outside is somewhat different from the actual situation, it is indeed a foregone conclusion that Lin Wenhua is linked to the Hexagram Assassin.

On the contrary, as for Xu Shi, at least no one could produce evidence that he had used similar methods.

I don’t know whether he did it more covertly or whether this was just Lin Wenhua’s unilateral declaration of war.

But no matter what, everyone can see that Lin Wenhua is unable to do the job - if you consider it from this perspective, it makes sense for him to do such a thing.
