This sudden attack caused quite a stir.

So before long, people from all walks of life scattered around the demolition area arrived one after another to check the situation.

Then, they saw the remnants of the "Forgotten Ones" scattered all over the ground, and Xu Shi and Tang Shuang standing face to face.

The gun in Xu Shi's hand was still smoking, and he had a faint smile on his face.

Tang Shuang was somewhat dazed, her body trembled slightly, and her face was a little pale.

Not far behind her lay a fresh corpse—shot to the point of death from a single bullet.

His skin color was similar to the surrounding environment, and it only returned to normal as his vital signs gradually disappeared, clearly indicating that he had awakened a chameleon-like ability to change his appearance.

This person was also strapped with explosives, clearly knowing that ordinary methods would not work, so he wanted to launch a suicide attack in this way so that he could perish together with Xu Shi and Tang Shuang.

"...Governor Tang?!"

Someone was the first to react, "And this one... Chairman Xu?!"

Judging from their surprised expressions, it was clear that they had only just noticed the two people there. It wasn't surprising, though; a police vehicle simply passing by wouldn't attract their attention.

Moreover, who would have thought that two people in such high positions would personally inspect the area in such a way?

"Chairman Xu, are you alright?!"

A junior leader from the "Snake Ring" group in the crowd paused for a moment, then rushed over, anxiously inquiring about their well-being, "Are you injured? Should I call a doctor for you? It's all my fault for being negligent; I didn't expect there to be any remnants of the 'Forgotten Ones' in this wasteland. Please punish me, punish me..."

He was absolutely terrified!

Just kidding. If Xu Shi really had an accident less than 500 meters away from him, even if it was just a minor scrape, it would be a disaster for him.

Putting everything else aside, I'm afraid Director Su would be the first to skin him alive.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine."

Xu Shi blew away the gunpowder smoke and waved his hand indifferently, "Governor Tang and I just decided to come to Sin City on a whim, we didn't need to inform you in advance."

"However, you also need to pay more attention. It's good to focus on construction, but these lingering hidden dangers must be eliminated first, otherwise there will inevitably be trouble, understand?"

Yes, yes, yes.

Not only the "Snake Ring" group, but also members of several other conglomerates echoed the sentiment, while secretly relieved that this man didn't seem about to get angry...

"Alright, that's settled then."

Xu Shizhen wasn't in the mood for this at all. He pulled Tang Shuang along and prepared to leave, saying, "We're leaving. You guys go ahead and do your things."

"Should I send someone to escort them...?"

"roll."

"Okay, sure."

The "snake ring" junior leader quickly got out of there, and the others wisely dispersed as well.

Tang Shuang was still somewhat dazed and didn't react at all to Xu Shi's gesture of taking her hand. She was led away from there like a puppet on a string.

Even after she got back into the car for a while, she still looked blank.

"Oh dear, it seems the director can't drive."

Xu Shi shook his head regretfully, got into the driver's seat, and handed Tang Shuang her water bottle. "Let me drive. Want some water?"

"..."

Tang Shuang remained silent, mechanically gulping down two mouthfuls before letting out a soft sigh, as if she had been reactivated.

“Xu Shi…”

She licked her dry lips and stammered out a call.

"What's wrong? Don't worry, my driving skills are still pretty good."

Xu Shi stared intently ahead, responding with a joke.

What happened to you just now?

Director Tang gripped his water glass tightly and asked in a low voice.

"What? What happened? You mean, shoot?"

Xu Shi laughed and said, "It's not like I don't know how to handle a gun... Although I can't compare to you professionals who have formal training, my accuracy is still guaranteed."

That's true, it's just one of the hobbies of spoiled rich kids. Guns and mechs are the ultimate romance for men, after all.

He's not so far removed from the stage where he can only hold a gun to someone's head and execute them after everything has settled down.

"Non-professional combat personnel" does not mean they have no combat capability; these are two different concepts.

However, he is usually protected by others when he goes out, so he rarely needs to take action.

"Who asked you that? I was referring to what you just said..."

Tang Shuang frowned slightly, and her tone became even more subdued.

"How do you think I discovered that assassin? It must be because of my Ascension ability?"

Xu Shi interrupted her again, thought for a moment and replied, "I can sense things that are invisible to the naked eye."

"Evil Entropy Increase" is a mental ability, which in the terms of fantasy novels would be called divine consciousness or divine thought. It is normal to give him such an ability as a gift.

He had defended against Lin Yue's assassination attempt when he first reached A-, and now that the Seed of the Assassin Little Sister has also completed its closed loop, he has been completely and stably promoted to A+ level, and his perception range is even greater.

In this respect, he is even better than professional combat personnel.

Anyway, he's definitely better than the one in front of him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but remind him, "Speaking of which, even if you become the governor, you can't be too complacent, otherwise you'll suffer because of it..."

"Shut up!"

This time it was Tang Shuang's turn to interrupt him. Her voice instantly rose eight octaves, startling Xu Shi.
