An awkward standoff ensued.
Or it could be said that Xu Shi was completely on the side of the enemy—with an important hostage in hand, Lin Yue didn't dare to make any rash moves, and the others present were no match for Su Lin.
They really managed to control the situation with just the two of them; we're so amazing!
The composure he exuded while sitting leisurely in the chair reminded Lin Yue of how he had acted during their last confrontation.
This demon seems to always be like this, giving people the feeling that he has everything firmly under his control while playing around.
Even though she had made significant improvements in every aspect, she still couldn't shake off the feeling of powerlessness she felt when facing him... Or perhaps it was no different for him whether she was just a small assassin or the leader of the Sixth District.
But now was not the time to dwell on that. She simply composed herself and then stared intently at Xu Shi, asking, "What... are you trying to do?"
She didn't engage in any pointless maneuvering and appeared before the countdown even started—whether you call it avoiding futile efforts or not, she didn't want to waste time on meaningless things. Saving her sister and figuring out the other party's intentions were the most important things.
"Here to visit you?"
Xu Shi stirred his finger in Lin Xing's mouth, pulling out a thin, glistening strand. "It's been so long since we last met. I'm also curious to know how much Miss Lin Yue has grown."
"Let go of my sister first!"
Lin Yue couldn't stand him toying with Lin Xing like this, and her anger, which had just calmed down, was instantly reignited.
"younger sister?"
Xu Shi was very surprised to hear this. "You call a cyborg your sister?"
Then he couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha... Haha! This is truly the funniest thing I've heard lately... All I know is that this is a failed product of the 'Snake Ring,' a dirty cyborg who disobeyed orders and escaped."
"But I really didn't expect her to appear here with you."
"Looks like the recent upheaval in District Six was caused by the two of you? I heard you were also involved in the downfall of 'Raging Wolves'... If Ding Jun and I hadn't complained, I wouldn't have realized you had such power. Tsk tsk tsk."
Hearing this, Su Lin couldn't help but roll her eyes. So, young master, you're here to indulge in your acting skills instead of sleeping? It's like you're hearing this for the first time… Which of these things weren't you involved in? It's just a matter of what identity you used…
Of course, sometimes when you think about it, Miss Lin Yue is really pitiful. It seems she doesn't know that her closest sister is actually just a substitute for Xu Shi. I guess the young master is sometimes a bit too cruel, isn't he? When the truth is revealed, she'll probably collapse.
Especially when he entered the sixth district just now, good heavens, Xu Shi was like a fish in water, it was even easier than going home - he could see everything that was happening here through Lin Xing, so he naturally knew how to sneak in the easiest way.
Of course, a direct attack is also fine; we can just switch to a smaller account and let Lin Xing give the orders directly... However, now is not the time to reveal our true colors. Clearly, this "good older sister" still has considerable value to us.
Those who are targeted by the young master truly have no chance of escaping.
Thinking of this, Director Su originally wanted to sigh, but a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
Her villainous tendencies have also kicked in; no wonder Xu Shi brought her along.
Defeating these worthless scoundrels didn't make her feel particularly relieved; rather, the current situation made her feel much happier.
"...Stop bullying her! Can I take her place?!"
With each word Xu Shi spoke, Lin Yue's nerves were plucked like the strings of a musical instrument.
It's always like this... It's always like this!
What others value is always insignificant in front of this guy!
Although she hadn't spent much time with Lin Xing, only a few months at most, it was undeniable that the two sisters had developed a deep bond.
Seeing her sister being humiliated by Xu Shi, Lin Yue felt even more pained than when he treated her this way.
What's the difference?
Xu Shi glanced at her disdainfully, thought for a moment, then withdrew his finger and wiped it on Lin Xing's face. "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's talk about something serious."
"Ahem! What do you have to talk to me about, sister?"
Slightly relieved, Lin Xing gasped for breath and shouted, "Sister, don't worry about me! Find a way to kill this bastard!"
"...Lin Xing, don't speak yet."
Lin Yue frowned and looked at Xu Shi very seriously, saying, "Tell me about it."
Her younger sister was willing to sacrifice herself for her, but she couldn't do the same. Especially since she had sensed some room for maneuver in Xu Shi's words, she couldn't just rush in blindly like before.
"You little bitch, are you addicted to playing house? You actually treat her like a sister? You don't deserve it!"
Xu Shi smiled sinisterly, grabbed Lin Xing's hair and pulled it back hard, "But your older sister is much more sensible than you. You should thank her for saving your life."
"In return, all I need is for Miss Lin Yue to do a very trivial little thing for me."
"Stop keeping me in suspense, tell me!"
Lin Yue suppressed the urge to burst out, her words sounding like they were being squeezed out from between her teeth.
"I have some news for you. Shen He, whom you've been longing for, should be returning to Night Sin City soon."
Xu Shi said slowly and deliberately, "I think, no, he must have some connection with you."
"So... do you understand what I mean, Miss Lin Yue?"
!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue's mind seemed to explode, and she was unable to process the amount of information for a moment.
