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

Xia Ke'an put down the book and smiled cutely, "I had a nightmare and woke up to find that you were not next to me. I was a little scared... What were you doing?"

"I……"

Xia Wuyou didn't want to say it, but after thinking about it, he told her everything that had just happened.

She didn't often talk about these things with her aunt before, as she thought the white-haired loli knew nothing... But since she discovered that she seemed to see through everything, Xia Wuyou gradually became willing to discuss these matters with her.

“…Is that so?!”

After listening to his niece's story, Xia Ke'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Xu Shi called you over in the middle of the night just to do something like this?"

"you do not say."

Xia Wuyou curled his lips, "If I had known this would happen, I would have pretended not to hear it and not gone."

"But you went anyway, and it seems like you didn't miss anything he asked you to do, Wuyou."

The white-haired loli poked her cheek teasingly, "I always feel that you listen to him more and more... Our little niece has changed a lot recently."

"Aunt, please don't laugh at me."

Xia Wuyou felt aggrieved, but it was difficult for him to refute her.

In the past, she could use the excuse of "this is for my family", but after talking with Su Lin, she knew that this was not the only reason.

More importantly, it was because she could also gain pleasure from her unconditional obedience to Xu Shi.

Such thoughts are indeed strange. Why would I think so? But the feeling is so wonderful that she has become dependent on it without realizing it.

"Then aunt, tell me, is this good or bad?"

She shook her head slightly and asked Xia Ke'an for his opinion indirectly.

"I can't really say."

The white-haired loli pinched her chin and thought for a while, "But if you must ask, I can only say that there is actually no difference between good and bad."

"Ok?"

“It’s just the way it is.”

Xia Ke'an pointed to his heart and said seriously, "In my opinion, as long as you follow the ideas here and make the decision you think is beneficial, why do you have to worry about whether it is good or bad?"

These words were not meant to encourage people to be good, and even carried a hint of extreme selfishness and indifference. However, Xia Ke'an did not seem to feel any pressure when teaching Xia Wuyou in this way.

After all, she used to be a very social person, and she was no longer at the age where she could judge right from wrong. She was not even close to being naive and innocent. If there was anyone in this world who was worth caring about, it would probably be her little niece who depended on her for everything.

That's why I have to teach her this way, so that she won't be dragged down by meaningless emotions.

"Not to mention that we all have to live under someone else's roof now, so there's no point in competing with him, right?"

"After all... we have more important things to do."

"..."

Xia Wuyou said nothing when he heard this, but just nodded silently.

It seems that they are not talking about the same channel... But what Xia Ke'an said is not wrong. The so-called "more important things" naturally refer to the destruction of "Refraction" that year.

Although the two of them rarely mentioned it, their desire to find the truth was tacit.

This is also the reason why the white-haired loli has nightmares - the greatest tragedy is to watch tragedy happen but be unable to do anything about it.

"It would be difficult for us to find the truth if we just rely on you and me... Fortunately, I have someone to rely on now, which finally gives me some hope."

Xia Ke'an sighed, "But now is not the right time. When the time is right, I will talk to Xu Shi."

"But this matter has nothing to do with him...right?"

Xia Wuyou expressed her understanding, but she couldn't help wondering, "Even if you tell him, will he agree?"

“Always have to try.”

The white-haired loli smiled, because she knew that Xu Shi’s target was not only her niece, but also her.

The little boy had quite big ambitions... Thinking back to the last time they had a slightly ambiguous interaction in the ward, she couldn't help but blush.

And since I am useful to him, I can be regarded as a bargaining chip.

Say.

"I'm afraid that incident back then might not have anything to do with him."

"Hey?"

Xia Wuyou didn't understand, but when he wanted to ask again, he saw Xia Ke'an had already laid down, "Okay, okay, you're back and I'm sleepy too, go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow."

"……Oh."

Xia Wuyou muttered, turned around to wash up, then suddenly turned back, "Then...what about him?"

"he?"

Xia Ke'an closed his eyes, knowing that the person his niece was asking about had changed. "I haven't paid much attention to him, but if I'm not mistaken, the recent expansion of Sin City "Disger" is probably related to him."

"A man like Zhang Shijun is no match for him... maybe he will bite back soon."

She had no doubt about it.

It's just what he said, but Xia Ke'an couldn't help but think about it.

Given Xu Shi's style, would he really watch something like this happen?

-

The next day.

When Xu woke up slowly, the electronic clock on the bedside table had already shown past eleven o'clock.

Haha, it’s been so long. I passed out while talking about work with Jiang Chengcheng last night and just woke up now.

Jiang Chengcheng was still sleeping soundly. When he heard the noise, he just sniffed. His arm, as delicate as a lotus root, rested on him intentionally or unintentionally.

Who knows whether she is awake or not...but it is obvious that she is quite happy, with a faint smile on her lips and a hint of aftertaste on her face.

As she said, in her opinion, her body and mind already belonged completely to Xu Shi, so it was naturally a happy thing to hand over things that belonged to Xu Shi to him.

"Still not getting up?"

Xu Shi tidied up her messy hair, smiled helplessly, took her hand away and got out of bed.

"……Why?"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiang Chengcheng stopped pretending, opened her eyes and subconsciously grabbed him, "Boss Xu, where are you going?"

"Go out and do something."

"Then let me go with you?"

"No, it might be a little dangerous for you. Chengcheng, you should have a good rest. I'll give you a day off."

"Oh... then you must be careful."

Hearing him say this, Jiang Chengcheng didn't stop him. She just stood up meekly and put on his clothes obediently.

Xu Shi enjoyed this very much. He held her face and kissed her before leaving.

After he left, Jiang Chengcheng lay back down slowly, grabbed his pillow and sucked it twice, letting out a long moan of satisfaction, and went back to sleep.

The body is still soft.

Chapter 74 When does a lemon become sour?

"How was your rest, Miss Ye?"

Hearing Xu Shi's question, Ye Shanshan, who had just been untied by him and was stretching her muscles, wanted to gouge him to death with her eyes.

How dare you ask that? It's the barking of a dog, right?

She was almost tortured to death last night - being tied up was uncomfortable enough, and she had this thing in her mouth, not to mention that she could hear him moaning next door.

Originally, the complications from her ability were not serious. She would simply feel extremely weak and sleepy after using her ability. Usually, she would be fine after a good night's sleep and taking some medicine.

But these several factors combined made her want to sleep but unable to fall asleep, and she was groggy and drowsy until the second half of the night.

There's no way I can get a good rest.

You understand how to torture people... But she didn't realize that although she was tortured, her resentment didn't seem to be as heavy as she imagined.

Obviously, she has also become one of the victims of "implantation of the will to be victimized" - the fact is that even Xu Shi has not forgotten the "entropy increase of evil thoughts". If he has supernatural powers, he will use them to give you a one-stop service.

But there is no need for victim dependence at Lin Yue's level for the time being... Thinking of this, Xu Shi said gently, "Would you like to eat something? After you finish eating, go out with me."

“…Wu?”

Ye Shanshan was stunned when she heard this, then shook her head vigorously.

How can I go out wearing this?

"But you are still my secretary now."

Xu Shi tilted his head, "Or, do you want to stay in the company to attend the afternoon presentation?"

"..."

What else could Miss Ye Shanshan say? She could only pray in her heart that the lemon would turn sour soon.

-

Four o'clock in the afternoon, Sin City, District 7.

There is a place in the area that is out of tune with other places. There are no crookedly stacked old wooden houses, nor are there syringes and garbage all over the floor. Instead, there is a three-story classical pavilion that is spotlessly clean, and even uses incense to cover up the bad smell of various mixed medicines.

This is the headquarters of the "Long Knife Gang". The gang members stationed here are all wearing ancient Tang suits, and everyone has a long knife on their waist, which is in line with the name of their gang.

But don't be careless because of this, it's basically just a decoration, no one expects to use it in a fight... In fact, the most common scene seen by residents of District 7 is that members of the "Long Knife Gang" pull out guns from under their clothes and perform cyber Iai during a fight.

At this moment, Ding Jun, the leader of the "Long Knife Gang", was sitting on the rooftop of the pavilion, holding a purple clay teapot in his hand, looking at the young man who was sitting with his legs crossed in front of him.

"You are... the director of Snake Ring, Mr. Xu Shi?"

Although he has a square face with a beard, he speaks in a very elegant manner.

"It's genuine, Chief Ding Jun, nice to meet you."

Xu Shi also changed his clothes into a simple street-style sportswear... One has to adapt to the local customs; wearing the usual outfit would be too conspicuous.

"I have admired you for a long time."

He couldn't get rid of his superior temperament, which made Ding Jun serious. "Who is this person next to Mr. Xu?"

"This is my secretary, Miss Ye."

Xu Shi introduced him to it with a smile.

"Oh."

Ding Jun nodded thoughtfully, with a strange look in his eyes.

The main reason is that Ye Shanshan’s outfit is too weird - not only is she wearing a mask that covers half of her face, but the hood on her sweatshirt also covers the back of her head.

Although it is understandable that people from Night City will make some changes when they come to Sin City, your master is not as well-dressed as you, right?

Ye Shanshan naturally noticed his curiosity and felt angry and annoyed.

You'd think she wanted to dress like this, but it would be a bit suffocating... but if she didn't cover it up like this, the "silence" on her face would be seen at a glance.

Of course Xu Shi would not let her take it off, and she couldn't take it off by herself - it was all designed so that if she tried to untie it forcibly, the circuit embedded in the metal ball would electrocute her to death.

This is the only way to cover it up. Even though it is embarrassing to wear something like this outside, at least she won't be discovered, and at least I'm saving some face for her.

The fact is that before leaving, he was very considerate and fed her. No matter how Xiaoqiu adjusted, she could only eat liquid food... But should it be said that this was Mr. Xu's last kindness?

...Pooh, pooh, pooh, he is so gentle▇▇, he would have finished it earlier▇▇!

Ye Shanshan complained inwardly.

"I wonder what brings you here?"

Fortunately, Ding Jun didn't pay too much attention to it, but asked about the real business.

"Come and make a deal with Chief Ding."
