"Oh? Is that so?"

Upon hearing Yu Xingchuan's report, Xu Shi nodded, but didn't seem particularly surprised.

Instead, he smiled at Gu Yi and said, "I told you so."

"Of course!"

The response from the other end of the terminal was very cheerful: "Shall I take a picture for you?"

Within seconds, her selfie was uploaded—a girl in an inspection bureau uniform was sitting on a mountain of corpses, her messy hair still disheveled, her wounds simply bandaged, and she was happily making a peace sign.

"Holy crap, what is this thing?"

Xu Shi was stunned for a moment after seeing it... The main problem was Zhao Yuan's transformation into a monster. Even after death, he didn't revert to his original form; he was still in that monstrous appearance, covered in blood. It was too terrifying. The child was still young and couldn't bear to see such things...

As for the remaining "forgotten ones," the photos give a rough idea of ​​their fate—there were certainly many dead and injured, but Yu Xingchuan did not exterminate them.

Or rather, only a small portion were completely wiped out; the majority were simply brought under tight control.

"I wasn't lying to you, was I, Chairman Xu?"

The adjutant said with a smile.

"Well done."

Xu Shi's tone held a hint of approval.

"It's my pleasure, it's my pleasure, you're too kind."

Yu Xingchuan replied obsequiously, "As long as you are satisfied, then all my hard work will have been worthwhile."

"It won't be too tiring, will it?"

Xu Shi smiled and said, "I guess not all of these people were arrested by the investigation bureau. They probably weren't all of one mind to begin with?"

"...How did you know?"

The adjutant was surprised to hear this, "Indeed, some of the 'Forsaken' have turned against us while we were fighting, saving us a lot of trouble..."

Of course, it's not that she couldn't handle it without the traitor, but it's certainly a good thing that she has to put in less effort—now it seems that this was also Xu Shi's arrangement, right, boss?

Having followed Tang Shuang around all day, Yu Xingchuan naturally knew quite a bit about Xu Shi, but even so, the other party still managed to give her a little shock from an unexpected angle.

"That's good. Fewer casualties will save Director Tang some money."

Xu Shi didn't answer the question, but changed the subject, saying, "She's complained about being poor to me more than once."

"Haha, right..."

The adjutant gave a forced smile. "Well, what you told me before, the promise you made to me after it was all done..."

"Oh? What did I promise you?"

Xu Shi asked the question knowingly, and replied jokingly.

"Well, didn't you tell me back then that as long as I controlled the situation outside the city, you would give me a hand and let me become the head of the inspection bureau?"

Yu Xingchuan secretly rolled her eyes. You really want me to say that out loud... But she was all smiles, unable to contain her happiness.

"Did I say that? Oh, right, yes, I did."

Xu Shi slapped his forehead, as if suddenly realizing something, and said, "So what if I said it? Is that why Lieutenant Yu is working so hard? Fighting crime seems to be your job, doesn't it?"

"That, that is..."

Upon hearing this, the adjutant stammered, thinking to herself, "What? You're not going to turn your back on me, are you?"

The truth is, if it weren't for this promise, she really wouldn't have risked her life to this extent... To be honest, if she had just stalled for a while and waited for the city defense cannons to be activated, these guys would have been finished anyway. Wasn't the reason she personally went out to leave a good impression on Xu Shi?

Whether someone is capable or not is one thing; whether you want to use them is another.

"I'm relieved to hear that."

Just as she was feeling uneasy, Xu Shi said leisurely, "So don't worry, I'm a person who keeps my business integrity very much, and I will never go back on my word."

"But you made it so easy, I feel like I'm missing out... How about adding something else?"

As he spoke, he suddenly changed the subject, "For example... come to my company later, spend the night with me? Let me take advantage of you?"

"Are you... serious?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xingchuan's voice noticeably rose a few decibels, but a moment later his smile deepened.

"It's not impossible... What type do you like? I'd like to get dressed up in advance?"

Xia Ke'an and Gu Yi, standing next to Xu Shi, were dumbfounded. Good heavens, this was the deputy officer of the Inspection Bureau? To be honest, her position was basically no different from that of the deputy director... But just listening to this conversation, one would think that Xu Shi had found a prostitute somewhere...

Chairman Xu was playing it on public address, so they naturally heard every single word.

"Haha, just kidding."

Xu Shi laughed heartily, "How could I possibly ask for a higher price? Not only am I helping you out now, but I'll be waiting for you to help me out a few more times when you become the bureau chief."

"...I knew it! Chairman Xu is definitely not that kind of person."

After a long pause, a response came from the other end: "I've always told others that you are honest and polite... By the way, what are your orders for these prisoners?"

"Just keep it as collateral for now."

Xu Shi waved his hand, "As for your troops, stay where you are. Without my order, not a single one of you is allowed to return to the city, understand?"

"good."

The adjutant responded, exchanged a few polite words, and then ended the communication.

"Tsk tsk tsk, now you know how wicked this guy is, right?"

Xia Ke'an tugged at Gu Yi's sleeve and said with a sigh.

"I can tell."

Miss Black Rabbit temporarily put aside her grudges and echoed her sentiment.

It can only be said that Xu is a first-rate master at manipulating people's hearts.

After studying with Grandpa Wen for a while, Gu Yi can now understand some of the subtext in these conversations. It's all so numb and full of GP.
