"Clam?"

Hearing Xu Shi's strange question, Gu Yi tilted her head in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"that is……"

Xu Shi leaned closer and whispered a few words in her ear.

Miss Black Rabbit quickly understood, and her face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears.

"I...I...I can't!"

She waved her hands vigorously, "You, you, you... you should go ask Sister Su for this kind of thing, I think she'll definitely be willing to cooperate!"

Although 19-year-old Miss Black Rabbit has never experienced anything like this, her years of surfing the internet have taught her that she is not completely ignorant about it.

We're theoretical experts, after all.jpg

But saying it and doing it are different; this is just too shameful!

And who is Xie Qingyan again? I heard Sister Su mention her once, I think she's Xu the bastard's fiancée?

Isn't this a bit...? Do all rich people spend money like this?

"She went out; there's no way she could make it in time."

Xu Shi ignored her objections, "Hurry up, hurry up, it's okay if you don't know how, I'll help you later... just do as I say."

Urged on by him, Gu Yi reluctantly answered the call, "...Hello?"

"Who are you?"

Xie Qingyan frowned on the other end of the call. Why was a girl answering the phone?

I don't think I made a typo, right?

"Chairman Xie, are you looking for Chairman Xu?"

Gu Yi stammered as she read aloud what Xu Shi had written.

"...Okay, let Xu Shi answer the phone."

Xie Qingyan rolled her eyes helplessly. Knowing Xu Shi as she did, she figured he was probably up to something ridiculous again.

Although I haven't contacted him in a long time, how could he let someone else answer his own phone?

Isn't that a bit too much?

But now is not the time to act out; figuring out the situation is the most important thing.

In fact, if it were just an unmanned hospital that was attacked, Xie Qingyan might not have suspected Xu Shi.

But if it's connected to He Yuzhao's affair... then things will be different.

After all, it was too coincidental that the two people were injured in such similar ways.

It's hard not to suspect that this was an act of revenge by someone.

As for who's behind this, it's most likely Xu Shi and He Laosan... At least in her opinion, the two are in cahoots, and there's probably some kind of collaboration between them, just like between herself and He Yuzhao.

Even if Xu Shi wasn't simply seeking revenge for his good brother, it's not necessarily true.

Since the last escort incident, Xie Qingyan has paid more attention to him.

Furthermore, the other party's recent sweeping reforms within "Snake Ring" made her acutely aware that her fiancé was definitely not as simple as she thought.

Then things became much clearer—both "Snake Ring" and "Prism" had designs on "Shark Tooth," but they were betting on different things.

Once one side makes a move, the other side will never stand idly by.

If that's the case, it's really troublesome... In any case, Xie Qingyan must find a way to verify it, otherwise he will inevitably be put in a passive position.

So she had no choice but to suppress her anger and say as calmly as possible, "No matter who you are, let Xu Shi answer the phone. I have something very important to tell him."

"Ah, Chairman Xu? Chairman Xu is a bit busy right now..."

Following Xu Shi's instructions, Miss Black Rabbit tried to draw out her words as much as possible, "Chairman Xie, you can tell me anything, and I will, I will convey it to Xu Shi completely... Ee!"

The sudden, slight electric shock to her neck made her shudder, and she glared angrily at Xu Shi, who was leaning against the side.

You bastard!

Xu Shi shrugged and said, "You said you couldn't do it?"

Then this is the only way I can help her.

The sudden rise in tone made Xie Qingyan realize that something was wrong.

This person, who was also a theoretical expert, quickly reacted upon hearing the commotion.

Xu Shi, you bastard?!

"...Okay, then please ask this lady to convey my message that Xu Shi will call me back personally when he has time."

How can we talk like this! Xie Qingyan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she said, "Remember, it must be from your own mouth."

"Oh, okay, I, I understand... um..."

The other person's reply was halting: "I will definitely pass it on for you... Ugh! That's enough! You can't take it anymore!"

Gu Yi glared at Xu Shi, as if to say, "Is this never going to end?"

I already know what to do!

Xu Shi laughed so hard he wanted to roll around on the floor. He knew it, but it was so much fun, didn't he?

"Okay, that's good. Thank you for your help."

Xie Qingyan couldn't take it anymore and casually replied before intending to cut off the communication.

But just a second before she hung up, the person on the other end called out to her, "Um, please, please wait a moment..."

“I told you to have Xu Shi come and talk to me in person.”

"No, no... Chairman Xu told me to tell you that if it is, if it is about the eldest son of the He family, then there is no need to talk about it face-to-face..."

"Because... hiss... because 'Snake Ring' is much stronger than a small company like 'Shark Tooth.' If Chairman Xie wants to... gurgle... cooperate, we have even better projects..."

"With your abilities and strength, Chairman Xu is willing to let you join him... Phew..."

"He can talk or not, it's up to him!"

Xie Qingyan stopped in Bengbu, wanting to vent her frustration, but to no avail, because before she could even speak, the other party had already hung up the phone.

This infuriated her even more. "Xu Shi, are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

No matter what, I'm still your fiancée. Can't you have a little shame?

Chairman Xie felt humiliated like never before. You see, although the two had not communicated for many years, she had always been the one in control in the past!
