"Arrest her?"

Hearing Xu Shi say this, Ning Wei was stunned for a few seconds before lowering his voice and saying, "Why do you want to arrest her? Let me tell you, Director Wen is not recovered yet. You know her condition. Don't do anything rash."

His first thought was whether "Shark Tooth" had some old grudges involving He Yuxia, which was why Xu Shi had turned his back on her...

To be honest, he doesn't oppose the act of eliminating rivals completely. Over the years, he has secretly helped "Feather Pen" eliminate many competitors. But it depends on the person.

Miss He Er lost contact with the He family many years ago. The last time she went back was because she was forced to return due to her disappearance. After the downfall of "Shark Tooth", she returned and has not left since.

Moreover, she has had a good relationship with everyone in the "feather pen" company over the years, and Grandpa Wen treats her like his own child. So, if there is anything to advise her on, Ning Wei should still do so.

"Don't worry, Butler Ning, I know what I'm doing."

Xu Shi expressed his understanding, "And it doesn't necessarily mean arrest; it could also be a calm and peaceful talk... Of course, it depends on her attitude."

"So what exactly is it?"

Ning Wei frowned. "You've been talking for so long, but you still haven't given me a reason. Riddler, get out of the City of Night Sin!"

I can't tell you right now.

Xu Shi said seriously, "But it's definitely not a small matter. I will let you know when the time comes."

“...Alright, then I’ll go to Chairman Wen’s place. Chairman Xu, you just need to keep that in mind.”

Ning Wei thought about it and agreed. He now knew what kind of person Xu Shi was. This guy didn't do things without a reason, so there was probably something going on... Sigh, it was really difficult for him to be caught in the middle.

Without further ado, Xu Shi led Su Lin straight to He Yuxia's residence.

He Yuxia remained in that studio, painting with undivided attention.

"Chairman Xu."

Hearing the door open, she didn't turn around, as if she had expected Xu Shi's arrival.

"Miss He Er."

Xu Shi walked to her side. "Would you mind chatting?"

"You've taken care of everything in Night City, what else is there to talk about?"

He Yuxia stopped what she was doing, turned to look at him with a smile, and said, "If it were my father, or my eldest brother or third brother or something... I would have no relationship with them long ago, and there's no need for you to come and comfort me."

"Right?"

Xu Shi nodded thoughtfully, "It's good that you have this mindset, because I'm not here to comfort you, but to confront you."

"The pass to enter the city via the river... you gave it out, didn't you?"

“Sinking into the river? Oh, you mean Mr. Luo Tian.”

Miss He did not deny it, but showed a regretful expression on her face. "I was just repaying the favor he did to save me. I didn't know he would do such a thing... I didn't even know his real name. I only found out from the news."

"Of course, if Chairman Xu uses this to hold me accountable, then it seems I can't escape responsibility either... Are you going to arrest me? Then please do so."

"...You're being so cooperative, it's making me feel embarrassed."

Xu Shi chuckled and said, "But since that's the case, why don't you answer another question for me?"

He forcibly turned He Yuxia's face, forcing her to look him in the eye, "You, you have connections with 'those people,' right?"

"Who are those people? I don't understand what you're saying."

A barely perceptible look of surprise flashed across He Yuxia's eyes, but her demeanor remained calm.

"Playing dumb won't work; confessing is your only way out."

Xu Shi quipped, "Of course, it's the culprit that caused the destruction of 'Refractive' and 'Milky Way' ten years ago."

"...I was only sixteen years old ten years ago, okay?"

He Yuxia paused for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Chairman Xu, you wouldn't be trying to pin such a huge accusation on me, would you? If I really had that kind of ability, would I be obediently waiting here for you to come and arrest me?"

"I didn't say you were the murderer."

Xu Shi shook his head. "I just know that you are connected to them... You don't need to deny it, I have very concrete evidence."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Miss He Er said, trying to sound tough.

"You've been observing from the shadows all along, so you must know that the Xia family aunt and niece are now my people."

Xu Shi laughed, "Then you should also know what Xia Ke'an's abilities are... With her skills, it wouldn't be difficult for her to find out your true identity."

Even without the old lady's intervention, it was the same. Ever since the two first met, Chairman Xu had already been suspicious of this seemingly harmless rich girl. After the disappearance incident, this suspicion became even stronger.

Why did you have to slip away by the river and go off to gather material outside the city? The key point is that you are a weak woman who can't even kill a chicken, yet you managed to outmaneuver a group of bodyguards. That's ridiculous. Of course, he doesn't deny that there are often such scenes in the story, but isn't that right?

Of course, these are just suspicions and not conclusive evidence, but that's just how Xu Shi is. Since we have suspicions, we might as well keep an eye on him. If all else fails, we can arrest him and torture him to extract a confession. It's better than leaving him hanging there. Better to die for others than for myself.

Not to mention that he also saw a further fact in the white-haired loli's "foresight" - Xia Ke'an's ability is actually more like Doctor Strange from a certain American comic, using a certain person or event as an anchor point to sort out all the possibilities in countless futures.

The possibility of Shen He overturning his own fate is one-tenth, and within that one-tenth, the old aunt clearly saw He Yuxia's existence.

She wasn't just a decorative lover; there were also scenes of her accompanying Shenhe and revealing the truth to him.
