"Miss He, please get some rest. I'll have someone take you home later. How long have you been out? People in Night City must be going crazy looking for you."
“Then it will be fine with Young Master Lao Luo.”
He Yuxia smiled broadly, "I really don't know how to repay you... You're one of the 'Forgotten Ones,' right? Should I talk to them and ask them to make it easier for you to settle in the city? I can certainly do something like that."
In her view, this should be the best way to repay the "forgotten ones".
Upon hearing this, Shen He's eyes lit up.
He hadn't really thought much about what he could do with He Yuxia, after all, she really didn't have much influence, just a rich girl at most... Did he expect to hold her captive? Only a fool would do that.
But what the other person said did remind him that it was a good opportunity. If he could return to the city without anyone noticing, there would be even more things he could do.
However, not now.
"...No need for that, I didn't think about that when I saved you."
So he politely declined, sighing with feigned regret, "Mainly because I'm not alone. Here, I'm, well, a small leader, right? There are still some people and things I need to take care of. I can't just ignore everything and go to the city now. I'd better just honestly complete my quota."
That's true. Before Shen Qin entered the city, the siblings had discussed that Shen He would stay at the base to avoid being exposed and to integrate the remaining "forgotten ones" so that they could act without any worries.
Isn't that what he's doing right now? He's very good at this old business, but he's not quite at the level where he used to control "Spark" and "Disgaea." He'll have to wait and see.
"Really? Then I don't know how to repay you..."
He Yuxia was a little disappointed upon hearing this. "Or if you need anything in this regard, just let me know?"
She still felt very grateful for the life-saving grace and felt she couldn't leave without repaying it.
"...Alright then."
After a moment's thought, Shen He nodded and said half-jokingly, "Maybe one day when I can't mine anymore, I'll have to rely on Miss He to save me."
"OK."
Hearing him say that, He Yuxia quickly nodded, "Then let's change our contact information first? You can just contact me if you need anything."
"But too many people won't do; they might not even listen to me..."
She didn't forget to add a sentence.
"Don't worry, we will never make things difficult for Miss He."
Chen He expressed his understanding.
"Speaking of which, don't the 'Forgotten Ones' have a tough time too?"
After getting down to business, He Yuxia thought for a moment and then asked, "We have to mine for ore, and the living conditions aren't good... Could you tell me more about it? I'd like to know more."
"...What topic would you like to hear about, Miss He?"
Shen He did not refuse.
"As long as it's true, I'll record it as material; maybe I can use it when I write something later?"
He Yuxia asked her to bring her backpack, took out paper and pen to take notes, and said, "I can also share this in the media to help clarify your reputation?"
"Miss He still has this kind heart."
Shen He smiled faintly.
"Is it not allowed?"
He Yuxia frowned slightly. "Anyway, those reports about 'imaginary numbers' seem too exaggerated to me, full of mutated creatures and monsters... I didn't see them before, so I let it go, but now that I have, I naturally have to clarify things."
"Anyway, I don't think the person who saved me could be a bad person... I don't know why they reported it that way, but slander is never good."
"Thank you so much, Miss He."
Shen He deeply agreed. In fact, he was not one of the "forgotten ones," but his sister was. So when he saw those reports, he was quite indignant, knowing that they were the dirty tricks of the six major conglomerates.
"Consider it returning the favor."
He Yuxia smiled. "Actually, you could have spoken up yourselves. Clarifying some things would have been helpful, but I don't see any intention in doing so. The 'Forgotten Ones' have been here for a while now, and we haven't seen anyone speak up for us."
Maybe someone told you but you didn't see it... Shen He thought to himself that this girl was still too naive, but he appreciated her kindness and told her the general situation here.
Of course, there are also some accusations against the six major conglomerates, or rather, against Xu Shi, who is instigating them. He feels that there is little hope of making these accusations public, but it would be good enough for him to be able to talk to someone about them.
In a sense, it was a way of venting one's anger.
It must be said that being with someone like He Yuxia brought him a rare sense of peace, as such people are truly rare in his life.
Or perhaps there was none at all. He used to regard Xia Wuyou as his ideal woman, but now it's a miracle he doesn't hate her to death. Lin Yue is also someone burdened with hatred, and now they are like strangers.
My younger sister is no longer as innocent as she was when she was a child. Although she acts that way in front of me, it's only towards me.
If Shen He knew that Xu Shi had a similar feeling when he first met He Yuxia, I wonder what he would think.
The two chatted quite a bit back and forth, and Miss He Er wrote down a lot of notes. "Thank you, Young Master Luo. I've learned a lot about the matter."
"I should be the one thanking someone for clearing our name."
Shen He smiled and said, "It's getting late, shall I take you home?"
He Yuxia's injuries were not serious to begin with, and she has recovered to about 70-80% after taking medicine. The rest can be treated slowly in the city. The most important thing is to send her back as soon as possible to avoid giving anyone a handle to use against her.
"Okay, then... we can still keep in touch, right?"
Miss He was still a little embarrassed, and as she spoke, she tore off a page from the notebook, "This is for you... I drew it on the spot, consider it a souvenir."
