Xu Shi certainly didn't have good intentions.
He orchestrated the attack on the 14th District warehouse; boosting his good brother's strength was indeed the most enjoyable thing.
His goal was simple: as mentioned before, to gradually reduce He Yuqiang's living space and drive him into a desperate situation without him even realizing it.
Of course, this can also be considered as preparation for taking over "Shark Tooth". With that dog of a woman Xie Qingyan hindering him at every turn, how could he not make some arrangements?
As for whether He Laosan would suspect him or hold a grudge, Xu Shi didn't care.
He didn't believe He Yuqiang hadn't suspected him. Such a thing happened so soon after he got the goods; anyone would have noticed.
But what good would knowing do? For He Laosan, he had no better choice than himself right now, and besides, given his current situation, it was hard to say whether others would even want to associate with him.
When a person's survival becomes the most important thing, all he can usually do is submit.
Besides, what makes you, He Laosan, claim that I did it? Suspicion alone is far from enough; produce evidence. Do you have any? I doubt it.
This also applies to the Bureau of Investigation. In other words, at least until now, Tang Shuang has not suspected him of the attack and has not asked him a single question.
After all, when the warehouse in District 13 was attacked, the armored man appeared as someone who stood on the opposite side of "Serpent Ring".
From her perspective, what benefit would Xu Shi gain from sending someone to rescue Lei Song? It doesn't seem like there is... After all, he personally executed that guy right in front of her.
Under these circumstances, she naturally placed Xu Shi in a lower priority position, and still focused on the suspects in Sin City and the remnants of "Spark" as she had previously thought.
This is exactly the effect I wanted.
Sending Xia Wuyou was meant to make Director Tang a witness in connection with the kidnapping. The two had clashed before, so her impression of him must be the deepest... Not to mention that the others were all borrowed from Ding Jun and were indeed gang members from Sin City.
This subtly distanced him from the matter.
By the time Tang Shuang uncovers the truth, she will likely already be completely under his control.
After all, the kind-hearted Chairman Xu never forgot to bring Tang Shuang into his camp.
It's often said that the Inspection Bureau is the dog of the six major conglomerates. While this is a joke, it's not entirely wrong. Even with a tough guy like Director Tang, they often have to compromise.
That's too much trouble. It's much easier to be a dog for me than for the six major conglomerates.
The previous chip deal had given her a taste of success, whether to improve their relationship or raise her expectations... and after this attack, his importance to her would inevitably increase even further.
At least the things she had hesitated about before have now been more or less shaken by this—with this premise in mind, things will undoubtedly be much simpler afterward.
How about adding fuel to the fire? For example, by hindering her in future collaborations... or to put it more simply, find an opportunity to plant a seed for her?
If we can't get the entire Inspection Bureau, taking her down first would be excellent. After all, her strength is undeniable. Who wouldn't like an A-rank "Upgraded" young woman?
"I guess I'm a bad person after all..." Xu Shi chuckled and shook his head, playing with the cup she had given him.
Just then.
Knock knock knock.
There was a knock on the office door.
Upon opening the form, they found Xia Wuyou, who had come to report on the previous events.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Shi stood up and took her hand. "How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"...It's alright."
Faced with such a gesture, Xia Wuyou felt a little embarrassed and turned her head away shyly. "I'm not hurt... I completed the task you gave me very smoothly."
"That's good."
Xu Shi smiled and nodded, then pulled her to sit on the sofa. "But you must be tired, right? Why don't you get some rest first?"
Her complication was simple: fatigue and exhaustion caused by overworking her body—this is the type of complication that many "upgraded" sufferers experience, including Ye Shanshan.
"oh."
Xia Wuyou responded and then moved closer to him, intentionally or unintentionally.
After what happened last time, her level of corruption was almost at its maximum, and Shenhe no longer had any presence in her heart... For her now, becoming Xu Shi's sword and obeying him was the most pleasant thing.
As for whether it's right or wrong, she doesn't want to consider it at all.
Sometimes, when she was alone, she even felt a little guilty towards Xu Shi, after all, he had done many things for her that were hard to repay, and she had almost stood against him at the beginning.
Looking back now, I really shouldn't have done that. How could I have been so naive? Because of that kind of thinking...
This is why she still seemed somewhat evasive when facing Xu Shi.
But to be honest, Xu Shi's embrace was more comfortable than obeying him.
So she acted very awkwardly, and her cautious demeanor was completely unlike her usual self.
"If Team Leader Xia has any requests, it would be better if she spoke up."
This little gesture didn't escape Xu Shi's notice, so he took the initiative to lift Xia Wuyou's chin and said with interest.
"……hold head high."
Xia Wuyou paused, thinking to herself that he was definitely doing it on purpose, knowing she was embarrassed, yet still making her say it...
But the physical desire she felt was almost overwhelming, and she finally lowered her eyes and murmured, "Then, can you hug me...?"
Xu Shi smiled and pulled her into his arms, watching her fall asleep peacefully in his embrace.
Sometimes he found it amusing that although Xia Wuyou looked slender, she had actually worked out a lot as the field team leader and was a fitness-oriented beauty, often quite muscular.
But when she was in his arms, she became soft and limp again.
Is it true that women are made of water?
Xu Shi couldn't help but chuckle and gently pinched her cheek.
...
After using Xu Shi as a human-shaped pillow for two hours, Xia Wuyou finally woke up, feeling indescribably satisfied.
Not to mention that her mind was filled with his image just now, and she really didn't want to think about anything else.
"Oh, by the way, can you come with me to see my aunt?"
She shook her head, finally clearing her head a little. "She was talking to me earlier, saying she hadn't seen you in a long time."
"oh?"
Xu Shi raised an eyebrow. "Miss Ke An, is there something you need from me?"
"have no idea."
Xia Wuyou shook her head. "She won't tell me when I ask her."
"Looks like I have no choice but to go?"
Xu Shi smiled and sighed, still keeping everyone in suspense... "Shall we leave now?"
"...Let's wait a little longer."
Xia Wuyou blinked and clung to his arm, refusing to let go.
She wanted to savor the afterglow of what had just happened a little longer.
She's really starting to look more and more like a kitten.
