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

Understanding does not mean acceptance, because several of those assassinated were from Lin Wenhua's camp.

Who would dare to stand on his side? He is really bloodthirsty and would even target his own people... And Mr. Xu is quite capable, as the recent dividends have increased significantly.

Under such circumstances, many people increasingly wanted to lean towards Xu Shi.

-

Lin Wenhua had no words to express his pain.

Although everyone in the company pointed the finger at him, he himself knew clearly that he had never done such a thing!

It's so uncomfortable when you're sitting at home and the pot suddenly falls from the sky... The key is that you can't even explain it. This kind of thing always gets worse the more you explain it. If you tell the truth, people will think you're trying to cover up something, which is really annoying.

It must be that little bastard Xu Shi who framed him! The old man was so angry that his teeth were itching. From the beginning to the end, he just sent his assassins to follow Xu Shi and didn't even issue the real assassination order!

He would not act rashly and give others a handle unless he was 100% sure of success, especially since he knew how powerful Su Lin was. Xu Cheng left such a person for the little bastard before his death, but she managed to hold on for so long on her own. Her professional level was self-evident.

Perhaps it was because of her that number 1557 was exposed.

And now the other party’s life or death is unknown, and he hasn’t even responded to a single communication!

This was obviously a failure, and the little bastard even took the advantage... Thinking of this, Lin Wenhua's face became even gloomier.

If you want to play around a bit, then I'll play around with you a bit!

However, the most urgent task is to find the whereabouts of 1557 first. It doesn’t matter whether she is alive or dead, but she must not be harmed again... Thinking of this, Lin Wenhua immediately gave orders to the other semi-mechanical killers.

"Find 1557 as quickly as possible. Once found, kill him on the spot!"

……

Compared with Lin Wenhua, Xu Shi's mental state seemed much better.

But he still changed his usual arrogance and said to Tang Shuang in the office in a serious tone, "This kind of thing is bad in the first place, and the key is that I'm afraid now. This is too dangerous... How about this, I'll hire you to be my bodyguard for a while, and you name the price?"

"... Chairman Xu, you are joking. You have many capable people around you... Besides, my ability is actually limited. I really can't help you in this regard."

Tang Shuang declined expressionlessly, "But don't worry, we will do our best to find the murderer and reduce the losses of the Snake Ring."

"Okay, okay, then Director Tang, you must hurry up."

Seeing this, Xu Shi did not pester him anymore, but he showed the kind of cowardly expression that is unique to a playboy, like a hopeless case of mud and hopeless.

I'd be dead if I didn't have a young lady to protect me

Come on you.

Tang Shuang couldn't help but complain when she saw him like this - ever since the incident with Jiang Fengshan, she knew that this guy was full of bad intentions.

And since dealing with him, nothing good has happened to me.

Even the entire Inspection Bureau was almost serving him personally because of those "snake ring" cases.

This is really not giving people a chance to live. WDNMD.

That's why she was so eager to find evidence of Xu Shi's crime. It was almost like a cancer... This feeling also drove her to stand up. She came and went in a hurry. "That's it for now. I have something else to do. I won't bother you anymore."

"Let's have dinner together, Director Tang?"

"That's not necessary. Thank you Chairman Xu for your kindness."

Of course Tang Shuang wouldn't agree. She wouldn't even have time to hide from you... But even so, Xu Shi didn't feel that her eyes had ever left him. She even looked him up and down, from all angles.

"Director Tang, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xu Shi was also a little curious when he saw this.

"…It's nothing. Take care, Chairman Xu."

Tang Shuang came back to her senses and calmly replied, "If anything happens, I will inform you immediately."

Why do I look at him like that... There's nothing I can do. The side dishes can't be eaten right away. Observing more will help expand the sample.

Although he was very reluctant, Tang Shuang had to admit that using Xu Shi to alleviate the complications of supernatural powers was even more effective than taking medicine.

But he definitely couldn't know about this kind of thing, otherwise it would be disastrous... Tang Shuang walked out quickly, despite the shame that was about to erupt.

I will try to update at this time in the future, and not at that weird time!

In addition, after looking at the vote, the next two will be Su Lin and Xia Wuyou.

Chapter 64: Can't, at least shouldn't

Looking at Tang Shuang's back, Xu Shi couldn't help but laugh.

It seemed like this was how she left her office every time.

Compared to the forced performance when they first met, this time she looked a lot more natural, but also seemed a lot more out of control.

Xu Shi couldn't help but feel curious. This was not like her usual style, and it was also different from the time when she was in prison and was furious... What was going on?

...Could it be due to complications from my super powers?

Realizing this, Xu Shi's expression became a little strange - he still knew what Tang Shuang's symptoms were, and that thing was really annoying when it broke out.

In his opinion, Tang Shuang's supernatural complications in the original novel were designed purely to give Shen He a p... cough, to enhance their relationship, with a bit of the meaning of "I'm immune to all poisons, but I'm helpless against the medicine Chun, so come and help me."

However, he did not expect that he had become a special side dish for people's beating beans.

It can't, or at least it shouldn't.

But no matter what, if you think about it from another angle, isn't this also a sign that she is letting down her guard?

In addition, her work focus during this period has been related to her own affairs. I am afraid that Director Tang has become more and more accustomed to the role positioning of "Captain of the Snake Ring's outsourced security team."

Xu Shi was quite satisfied with this. Who wouldn't like such dedicated and free labor?

I just don't know how she would react if she found out that the killer she was asked to find was actually just across the wall from her.

He opened the secret door beside him, and saw the hexagram lying docilely inside, waiting for his next instruction at any time.

"So nice."

Xu Shi smiled and touched her head.

Lin Wenhua was the one who turned the table over first, so it would be unreasonable for me not to retaliate - including the publicity he personally contacted "virtual numbers" to build momentum, it would be better for everyone to point the finger at the old guy.

At the same time, I can also clean up some of the people like Xu Anbang who are disloyal to me. Why not kill two birds with one stone?

The so-called weakness is relative. The hexagram does not pose any threat to oneself, but it may not be a threat to others.

And this was enough to give Lin Wenhua a headache for a while... Anyway, he couldn't explain it clearly, so the only thing he could do was to find ways to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible.

Then I will not let him get his wish - the goal has been achieved, and there is no need to continue the assassination.

As for Miss Hexagram, she should just stay here quietly. With the level of her prosthetic transformation, she doesn't even have to worry about food and drink. A tube of energy reagent can last her for a long time.

This is also why the six major conglomerates are vigorously advocating their employees to undergo body modification, and low-level workers have to join the glorious evolution in order to save living costs.

One party gains more efficient labor, and the other party can work longer and earn more money. This is undoubtedly a win-win situation.

However, her value is not limited to this. When the time is right, she will have the opportunity to continue to shine.

"You're happy too, right?"

Looking at the hexagram in front of him, Xu Shi asked with interest.

The other party did not give any response, but gradually lowered his head and entered standby mode.

Ugh.

Xu Shi sighed secretly, thinking that too many changes were not a good thing, as it would lose a lot of the fun of interaction.

Not long after coming out of the dark room, the communication on the table rang.

When I opened it, I saw that the caller was Xie Qingyan.

Oh?

Is this... finally unable to bear it anymore?

Xu Shi blinked.

He was very confident that Xie Qingyan's private investigation would not produce any results - after all, if Luo Zhikang was not counted, only she and Jiang Chengcheng knew about the "Exceeding Limit Plan".

At most, Su Lin would be added, and even Gu Yi, the person who passed the microphone, knew nothing about it.

In this case, she would definitely come over on her own initiative.

Not to mention that I was the one who provoked her, this bad woman's nature is just like that. Whether there is a date or not, she will at least try her best, but she will never miss any potential opportunity.

It just so happened that she had been almost left out to dry... Thinking of this, Xu Shi calmly connected the communication one second before it was automatically cut off.

"Hey?"

"...You're not busy this time? You don't need someone else to answer the phone for you?"

There was silence for a while before the other party responded, "I was afraid that I would disturb your interest again, my dear fiancé."

It can be seen that Xie Qingyan is still brooding over what happened last time, and there is a sarcastic tone in his voice.

"You didn't bother me before, but made me more excited."

Xu Shi joked, "Come to think of it, I have to thank you, my good fiancée."

"... Let's get down to business."

Xie Qingyan felt like he had punched cotton. He changed the subject angrily and got straight to the point. "Do you really have something worth cooperating with? If you do, why not tell me in detail?"

To be honest, based on her understanding of Xu Shi, she didn't think that he could come up with any real treasure.

The relevant investigation did not find any clues, which made Xie Qingyan feel that this was just Xu Shi's casual joke.

But his recent changes cannot be ignored... After thinking it over, Xie Qingyan decided to confirm it first.

"of course."

Xu Shi did not deny it, "But this kind of thing is not good to talk about in the communication."

"If Mr. Xie is interested, why don't we have dinner together tonight?"

Mr. Xie?

He calls himself Mr. Xie?

There would be no problem if others called him that, but when Xu Shi called him that, Xie Qingyan inexplicably felt a little bit uncomfortable.

After all, this guy always called her Qingyan in a mean way before...but he suddenly changed his tone to be so formal, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

But she didn't hesitate and agreed immediately, "Okay, I will be on time, and please don't be late, Mr. Xu."

……

7pm, District 17, Babylon restaurant.

This is considered a landmark building in Night City. From the outside, it feels like it is only a stone's throw away from the "Rust Mist" and is even vaguely shrouded by it.

But the diners inside don’t have that feeling. Looking through the specially treated floor-to-ceiling windows, all they have is an unobstructed view of the Night Crime City.

A slow rotating system is also installed on the floor, allowing people to have a full view of everything outside the window while dining.

This is also the favorite gathering place for the upper class in Night City, but today the place was reserved at Xu Shi, so it seemed a bit deserted.

Not long after, Xie Qingyan also arrived here on time - she was wearing a black floor-length dress with a silver-gray fur shawl, which showed her graceful temperament and made her incredibly beautiful.

When he saw his long-lost fiancée, Xu Shi was subconsciously stunned.

Wow, I knew she was beautiful, but I never felt she was so charming before.

But thinking about it carefully, the last time they met was actually a long time ago... Thinking of this, he sighed silently, then stood up and smiled at the other party, "Long time no see."

His reaction also surprised Xie Qingyan. Obviously, he didn't expect him to be so serious.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, he is no longer the Xu Shi in my memory.

So, after blinking her eyes, she chose to smile back.

"Well, long time no see."
