"Chairman Xu."

Ning Wei, dressed as a butler, was already waiting at the door and opened the car door for him.

"Mr. Ning."

Xu Shi nodded in acknowledgment. "Could you take me to see Chairman Wen... my maternal grandfather?"

You may have to wait a little while.

Ning Wei led him to Wen Shengkui's office and arranged for him to stay in the reception room. "Master has some things to attend to, but it won't be long."

Xu Shi nodded, sat quietly on the sofa, and thought about how best to talk to the other party later.

The reception room and the inner room were separated by only one wall. As he was thinking, he heard rustling sounds coming from inside.

oh?

Xu Shi blinked. With his current A-level promotion level, he only needed to pay a little attention to clearly hear this level of noise.

Then.

He heard those words.

"Aren't you a lowly dog? Huh? Aren't you? I gave you some food, and look how high you're sticking your ass up, huh?"

"Alright, you ate so cleanly, that's quite good. I'll reward you by letting me touch you. Aren't you happy...? Who told you to lick me!"

"You wretched dog, you really want me to hit you, don't you? Does it feel good to be hit? Otherwise, why is your tail wagging so enthusiastically? Come on, wag it again for me, oh my, it's beautiful..."

...

...

...

Was my grandfather really that kind of person?!

I didn't understand, but I was deeply moved!

"Hey kid, what are you staring at me for?"

Inside the study, Wen Shengkui, sitting in a wheelchair, frowned as he looked at Xu Shi, whose expression seemed a little strange.

"...Oh, it's nothing."

Xu Shi snapped out of his daze, smiled and waved his hand, "I just didn't expect that you, Grandpa, would have a hobby of keeping pets."

He had to admit that he was a little frightened before he came in.

Actually, keeping mistresses and sex dolls is one of the most beloved ways for nightclub owners to unleash their inner darkness.

Many people even have their own small circles to exchange ideas, share experiences, and do group activities... This is why "Disgae" exists; there is a market only when there is demand.

Even so, Xu Shi couldn't connect Wen Shengkui with this hobby.

The old man just didn't look like it—he was lean and strong, and although his legs were disabled, he was still very energetic. His brows also revealed a dignified and upright air. Even in the original work, he was a relatively positive character...

How could someone be that kind of person? Such a contrast?

When the door finally opened and he came in, he looked around the room for a long time but didn't find what he was looking for. He only saw Wen Shengkui holding a small black dog about the length of his forearm. The dog had wet eyes, looked aggrieved, and was whimpering adorably.

He then realized that he had made a blunder.

...Oh, so you really do have a dog.

I thought you were raising a dog... but if you're going to raise a dog, why are you doing something like that dirtyta?

—Don't blame me for being prejudiced and thinking such a complicated thing about you.

However, Xu Shi wouldn't actually say these words out loud, so he just muttered them to himself and silently cleared himself of all responsibility.

"..."

Wen Shengkui's eyes flickered, thinking to himself that there was something wrong with his eyes, and the way he looked around looking for things as soon as he came in was also very suspicious.

I'm just keeping a pet, it's not like you're making such a fuss, is it?

Did you hear something you shouldn't have?

He certainly wouldn't keep any sex dolls; the old man abhorred that kind of thing.

The reason he spoke to the little black dog like that was not due to any complications from his superpowers.

Simply because he named the dog Acheng.

The "cheng" in Xu Cheng's name.

It's clear that the old man still harbors resentment towards Mr. Xu, who took his precious daughter away.

However, he didn't want to talk about it in front of Xu Shi, so he simply changed the subject, "You... wanted to see me about something?"

"Didn't you tell me last time, Grandpa, that I should come and apologize in person?"

Xu Shi calmed himself down and said, "Of course I can't forget."

"I am also very grateful for your help in getting me out of that predicament before."

"Ha, at least you have a conscience."

Wen Shengkui hummed casually, "But it's nothing serious, I would have forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

Really? I don't believe it.

Xu Shi secretly rolled his eyes.

Did you really forget that you would have Ning Wei specifically remind Su Lin?

"But since you're here, I'll take this opportunity to say a few words to you."

Wen Shengkui stroked the dog's head, his tone becoming more serious, "That attack at the previous press conference, I'm afraid it wasn't a coincidence, was it?"

"Using high-value temptations to lure the people of Sin City into making a move, and then secretly taking over their territory... I really didn't realize you had any skill."

"It's all for the company's development."

Xu Shi replied with a smile that he wasn't too surprised by the act of speaking the truth to the public.

His methods weren't perfect or flawless; at least they couldn't hide them from a big shot like Wen Shengkui. Didn't Xia Ke'an see through them too? It would be strange if he didn't.

However, judging from the old man's tone, his understanding was not comprehensive. For example, he attributed the "Spark" attack to their covetousness of the "Twins," unaware that it was just a smokescreen to rescue Luo Zhikang.

He might not be able to pay attention to such things, and indeed many gangs in Sin City have an excessive sense of self, so it's reasonable for him to think that way.

Say what you want.
