Noticing Xu Shi's gaze directed in her direction, Su Lin was startled.

Could we have really been discovered?

She was quite confident in her stealth skills. Back in the day, she had trained in the field team for several years. Coupled with her ability to appear and disappear without a trace, it seemed impossible for the young master to be so capable.

But if he didn't notice, why would he look in his direction for no reason?

After a moment's thought, Director Su decided to observe the situation further.

"Xu Shi, what are you looking at?"

Tang Shuang also noticed his unusual behavior and asked curiously.

"……nothing."

Xu Shi snapped out of his daze, smiled, and waved his hand. "Just a sneaky little coward... Come on, let's go to District Seven this afternoon? I've made plans with Ding Jun and Lin Yue. You have something to discuss with them too, right?"

"oh."

Tang Shuang didn't think much of it, took his arm and got into the car. "Wait a minute, who's taking whom on patrol? Why is it you who's arranging the destination again..."

Seeing this, Su Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, it seems there isn't one.

I knew it! My stealth skills are pretty good!

What she didn't know was that Xu Shi's mental power was even stronger. He not only sensed her presence, but he also knew her escape route perfectly.

That's what you call playing hard to get.

...

Regardless of the effectiveness of Director Su's clumsy surveillance operation, Xu Shi and Tang Shuang have made quite a few gains over the past four or five days.

Although they finalized the general outline of the City of Night Sin, the actual implementation may not be consistent with their expectations. After a round of inspections, they discovered many potential drawbacks and hidden dangers, which can be considered as taking precautions to avoid a lot of trouble.

That's the point. There's a saying that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Although this analogy may not be entirely accurate, if you just sit in your office and work in isolation, no matter how brilliant your ideas are, you'll only end up with a castle in the air.

Even for Tang Shuang, this was the first time she had calmly exchanged opinions with these gang leaders from Sin City in the form of a discussion. In the past, she would directly lead her team to arrest people, and the moment they met, they would be at each other's throats, neither willing to back down, and everything they said would be full of hostility.

Now that the situation has changed, the old methods are no longer effective, and we must resolve it peacefully.

Although the two sides had many disagreements in the past, the talks went surprisingly smoothly thanks to the mediation and reconciliation efforts of many parties.

"The city hall's opinion is that Sin City should remain under your jurisdiction, and we will only send specialists and offices to supervise it."

On the last day of the meeting, Director Tang summarized earnestly, "We would even prefer not to use the word 'supervision,' but considering the overall situation in Sin City in the past, it is probably impossible to do so in the short term."

"Therefore, I urge both of us to work together and make progress together?"

"...I can understand."

Sitting opposite her, Lin Yue smiled, her demeanor poised and elegant. "This is exactly what I wanted to see."

"I heard that Governor Tang and Chairman Xu have been visiting Sin City these past few days. I'm sure you've seen many things firsthand. 'Spark' has already integrated some of the remnants of 'Dragon City' and other scattered gangs. I estimate that within a month, the previous gang model will be basically transformed."

This speed is by no means slow. Even though "Dragon City" is a fallen camel, it is still bigger than a horse. Controlling various resources and incorporating its personnel are not easy tasks. The scattered small gangs are all stubborn holdouts. The fact that she can make such a promise shows that she cares a lot about this matter.

"This is the filing document. Please take a look, Governor Tang."

Lin Xing, who was standing nearby, handed over a few data bricks at the opportune moment, clearly having been prepared in advance.

"That would be perfect."

Tang Shuang was very satisfied with this. "That also includes Chief Song and Chief Ding...you two?"

"Ah, yes, yes, I have no objection either."

Ding Jun seemed a bit distracted, clearly not paying much attention to this matter, and only gave a perfunctory reply when asked.

"Chief Ding probably doesn't have the time or inclination to deal with these things, right?"

Xu Shi joked, "Governor Tang probably doesn't know that this guy has recently sold off a lot of assets in Sin City and then used that money to invest in a lot of businesses in Night City... He's trying to steal my food."

"Not at all, Mr. Xu, you're joking."

Ding Jun hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he had absolutely no such intention, and then made an excuse to slip away.

Xu Shi didn't mind at all. He was watching the other party's every move closely, so the other party couldn't cause any trouble. In fact, he had given the other party his approval for those investments...

Thinking back, he still found it somewhat amusing, because Ding Jun's actions were definitely not wise—the Sin City of today is different from what it used to be; once rebuilt, it will be a vast blue ocean, whereas Night City is already a saturated red ocean. Doing this before would have been understandable, but now he just couldn't see the direction...

However, he also asked Ding Jun, who did not regret it and seemed eager to make a name for himself in Night City. Perhaps this was his long-cherished wish? Or perhaps in his eyes, only Night City was the ladder to the top.

Xu Shi didn't object to this. Ding Jun had chosen his own path, so he was too lazy to interfere. He would just help him keep in touch, and he would keep his promise.

He would even prefer to see Ding Jun withdraw voluntarily, because that would mean Lin Yue could take control of the entire Sin City more quickly and efficiently, becoming the undisputed voice here.

As for Song Ziyou? There's absolutely no need to worry... He gained almost nothing from the redistribution of "Dragon City's" assets this time, and Xie Qingyan seems to have no intention of helping him anymore. Not to mention that he will gradually become a vassal or even disappear in the future, strictly speaking, he is not even qualified to be at this negotiating table now; he's just there to make up the numbers.
