"Do I need your permission?"

Xu Shi wasn't buying it. "Shouldn't you be my personal doctor, providing 24-hour care?"

"Stop being unreasonable! Don't force me to be savage, okay?"

Xie Qingyan persisted, "Believe it or not, I'll just knock you out and take you away?"

"You dare?!"

"Do you think I dare?"

Xie Qingyan was provoked by his words and turned to grab the sedative from the table, preparing to administer the injection.

"Ah Zhen, are you serious?"

"Who is Ah Zhen? Have you lost your memory from playing around with women?"

"Mind your own business... Put the syringe down first!"

"I don't!"

During the argument, the two started fighting.

Unfortunately, in terms of strength, the delicate Chairman Xie is no match for Chairman Xu; that scoundrel can be easily taken advantage of even while lying in bed.

He subdued her in no time, and with a pull, she lost her balance and fell squarely onto him.

"you……"

The other person's heartbeat was clearly audible, and Xie Qingyan blushed instantly.

Just then.

"What's that sound? Has the young master woken up?"

Su Lin pushed open the laboratory door and walked in one after the other with Jiang Chengcheng. "The city hall said they need someone to go to the Maritime Bureau. Chairman Xie, do you want to go... um?"

Seeing the two in an indescribable position, the two were immediately dumbfounded.

"What are you doing?!"

"...Um, if I said she was the one treating my illness, would you believe me?"

...

It is indeed a treatment, but the methods and approaches are debatable.

Therefore, Xu Shi quickly explained the situation, and Su Lin and Jiang Chengcheng understood, thus avoiding any misunderstanding that would have taken thirty or forty chapters to resolve.

Besides, what kind of misunderstanding is this? Isn't that bitch my fiancée? Let alone lying on top of me, what's wrong with being a little more intense?

"So, young master, you're still in trouble?"

Su Lin didn't care about Xu Shi and Xie Qingyan; she was more concerned about her young master's health.

"I told you she wasn't reliable. It'll be slower if you leave it to me, but it'll definitely be fine..."

Jiang Chengcheng made no attempt to hide her blame on Xie Qingyan, regardless of who he was.

"Alright, you guys, nothing really happened to me."

Xu Shi was both amused and exasperated. "By the way, Su Lin, you just said the Maritime Safety Administration sent a letter? Is it about the ships?"

"Yes, Governor Tang said it's already completed and asked when you'd like to take a look."

"Right now."

Xu Shi didn't hesitate much, "Let me change my clothes, and then we'll go together."

Rather than saying he was quite looking forward to it, he started working on it as soon as the anti-seawater corrosion material was finished, and quite a while has passed since then.

"I'll go too."

Xie Qingyan had already gotten off him and expressed her opinion upon hearing this.

"You're going too?"

These words drew unanimous glances from Su Lin and Jiang Chengcheng.

"Of course I have to go. Hasn't Prism done anything about these things?"

The woman patted her face to make the blush on her cheeks look more natural. "Besides, I still have to keep an eye on a certain dog... a certain annoying bastard. If he dies on the way, won't you all gossip about me behind my back?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Jiang Chengcheng was unhappy.

Do I need to explain it to you again?

Xie Qingyan refused to back down and retorted.

"...I never said I'd leave you alone."

Xu Shi rubbed his forehead, feeling that the relationship between the three of them, or rather, between Jiang Chengcheng and Xie Qingyan, was definitely not as peaceful as he thought.

Life is tough, Xiao Xu sighed.

...

Maritime Safety Administration.

The department with the lowest profile within the city hall system.

The main problem is that these days nobody considers looking at the sea romantic, let alone going out to sea to fish—aquatic products all rely on farms in the city. If something from the sea jumped onto the table, probably no one would dare to eat it. What if it mutated?

Therefore, the weight of this department has been reduced again and again. Now, its only function is to observe the sea level and the degree of seawater corrosion, and whether it will erode the land.

There's a saying circulating within the city hall that if you're assigned to the Maritime Bureau, you might as well resign and sweep the streets, since you'll never get a promotion anyway.

However, this place is completely different today; it has never been this lively before.

Xu Shi and his group went directly to the dock, where they found a bustling scene. In addition to Tang Shuang and Yu Xingchuan, there were also a group of important officials from the city hall and key members of various conglomerates.

"Soon, soon!"

Governor Tang spotted him from afar and waved excitedly, "Here!"

What have you been up to lately?

She said in a complaining tone, "As soon as I contacted Director Su, she said you were busy. You're such a busy person... Oh, could it be?"

As she spoke, the way she looked at the other person changed, becoming more ambiguous and even a little contemptuous.

It's no wonder she misunderstood—Xu Shi, who had just come off the operating table, said he was fine, but he still walked a little unsteadily, and his complexion wasn't good. The worst part was that he was followed by three girls…

Although these three girls are all prominent figures in Night Sin City, status is always meaningless in front of Xu Shi. For example, Tang Shuang herself...

"...What are you thinking? I'm busy with important matters!"

Xu Shi could tell at a glance that this guy wasn't thinking anything good, and explained in an annoyed tone.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Tang Shuang nodded perfunctorily. "Whatever you're busy with, I'm too lazy to argue with you today. Let's go take a look at your fleet, Chairman Xu?"

"I'll deal with you later."
