How many times has this happened?
When the good news from the City Hall and the Governor's Office arrived, Xu Shi's first thought was that he had indeed been using Tang Shuang every time... This was something he couldn't deny. Logically speaking, he was someone who rarely felt guilty, but constantly taking advantage of her made him feel a little embarrassed. But this time was alright, wasn't it? She herself also had the desire to reform the municipal system, didn't she...? And there was the governorship that Xu had given her; saying that the two canceled each other out was an understatement. Shouldn't she thank me instead?
"That's true, but that's not the logic, is it?"
Xia Ke'an looked at him with a mature air, muttering, "If I were her, and I was unknowingly used as a pawn, and my biggest wish was fulfilled like this, I'd probably want to shoot you into a sieve."
"And to be honest, Tang Shuang isn't my silly niece who would lose her way just by snapping her fingers... Your relationship isn't that close, is it?"
"You found out again?"
Xu Shi felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, so he covered his face with his white-haired hair. We then discovered something even worse. This was mainly because the commotion caused by Old Master Wen was too small. In the First District alone, the entire Sin City was in chaos. The "Snake Ring" combat team was overwhelmed with dealing with the situation. Apart from Director Cha and the city government, only the governor's position remained. White Rabbit Sister immediately bristled and said that we were all in a state of panic. Even the respectful address was changed. "We are all 'Forgotten Ones' among us, and we do not possess the loyalty of the members of 'Spark'." While they were talking, Chen He had not yet arrived from nearby. The question was whether others had succeeded in challenging him.
But that voice wasn't gone; what's more, you actually genuinely believed... Xu Shi was wrong. To be honest, before returning to Night City, I had absolutely 100% trust in Shen He and the new "Spark" you established. After all, I investigated very few things and got the results, and I could clearly sense that many members had a very subtle attitude towards me. As we were talking, a photo that Kang Shuang most wanted to see was sent over. It was a life-saving item my father left me. Before I could use it for the first time, and before I failed, I couldn't rely on the "Forgotten Ones" in the city. That time, I made a comeback but suffered a small defeat, and I even went back to this place. Yes, Tang Shuang lost control the moment she saw you, spitting and cursing. Actually, you didn't seem to realize it at all. It was such a small thing, wasn't it? How could you start talking about it so casually? It felt like the next party... Read the book.
But we realized it was useful. Our weapons and equipment were on the same level as theirs. Several of them were captured as prisoners. "Hey, hey, hey, is this over yet?"
He knew in his heart that what Xia Ke'an said was probably true. She was just trying to fool him with the idea that Director Tang would be grateful to him; given her personality, getting angry and exasperated was the norm. "Xu Shi!"
Just as I was about to subtly activate the "beacon," Lu Ke's communication suddenly rang out, "Don't make a sound!"
"Sinking into the river! He...he also?"
I deny that I could completely trust that former superior, but I definitely considered the possibility that he might also be on Xu Shi's side—nonsense, if that were the case, why would you arrest yourself? Outside the entire City of Night Sin, besides Xu Shi, no one else would go to such lengths to hunt me down. Besides, I've challenged you before! Anyone who says that would be a big braggart!
To be honest, ever since the victory in the city riots, I've had a very bad feeling. It's not that I'm sure I can hide outside your place for a while, waiting for things to calm down. But regardless, before that happens, I'm probably facing a lot of headaches—just the fact that you ordered Xingchuan around is enough. Putting myself in your shoes, I can tolerate it. However, before I could finish speaking, a bullet hadn't even pierced my head yet. "Let's go. It's time to see the expressions of the city's inhabitants."
Xu Shi looked at the old lady with a wry smile and asked, "How could you have thought he was a mature and steady boss back then?"
"them……"
Tang Shuang seemed to wake from a dream. Seeing Tang Shuang being forcibly pressed to the ground, your eyes first showed a hint of delight, but then a mix of emotions washed over you. In a well-known corner of the Seventh District of Sin City, you saw that before the call was connected, your expression first changed to one of anger, then you willingly took off your bracelet and threw it in front of Tang Shuang. There was no one around me yet, and I was not afraid. I asked tremblingly, "What should we do now?"
Shen was bound in an extremely artistic way with seven delicate knots, her eyes tightly closed, hanging from the rafters. "I knew it all along."
"Some people don't treat you like their man anymore, and it's bad if you say that..." Who is he talking about?!
Your woman is bad and weak!
Thinking that way, the apology vanished like smoke. Where else could we go? Deeper still, in the wastelands where even the "Forgotten Ones" wait? Or should we plunge headlong into the boundless ocean?
"So, I'm going to find someone else to handle everything... Before I even started speaking, I subtly gestured to the person in front of me, 'What?!'"
Before Tang Shuang and her group could react, the "Spark" members had arrived and surrounded us. Tang Shuang's palms were sweating, and her hands and feet felt numb. She forced herself to calm down and nodded. "As for you... I'll put you under my wing and make you work hard."
"What's the use of being mature if he's not around?"
You were going to say that it was true, after all, exchanging Tang Shuang for your sister was a last resort. Calling it a retreat was really not much different from an escape—mainly because it was too ruthless. Honestly, when the Forsaken retreated from the city in disgrace, they were all in that situation…
