Xu Shi tilted his head as he saw Xia Wuyou appear at the door.
He needs to figure out two things first.
First, what is Xia Wuyou doing here?
Second, who is the woman she's holding like a chick in her hand?
"Well, I was just about to leave work when I noticed some unfamiliar people acting suspiciously near the company, so I went over to investigate..."
Xia Wuyou didn't meet his gaze and explained in a low voice, "Then... she lost her temper and attacked me first, but she couldn't beat me, and in the end... it turned out like this."
"Some jammers, poison, and micro-bombs were also found on her, but they have all been disposed of."
"..."
Xu Shi was speechless, but at the same time felt the deep malice emanating from this world.
It's obvious he's another assassin.
When he realized what was happening, Chairman Xu was so angry that he was trembling all over. Even though the temperature control system in the office was working properly, he was still sweating profusely and his hands and feet were ice cold.
Can this ever get any better? How am I supposed to live to satisfy you all? Tears are streaming down my face uncontrollably... cough cough, that's about it.
Did you all plan this? You all came to assassinate me on the same day, didn't you?!
I'm impressed.
However, he also knew that this second assassin should not have much to do with Lin Yue. Lin Yue was obviously acting on her own, and there seemed to be no such person in "Spark".
Upon seeing the six-pointed star tattoo on the other person's neck, he realized who this person came from.
—He is one of Lin Wenhua's people.
The original work mentioned that the old man kept some assassins, and they would occasionally send them out to cause trouble, whether it was targeting Shen He or himself.
In this respect, they seem to share a similar plight.
Well, I knew Lin Wenhua wouldn't sit still either... When he asked about it before, and then heard Su Lin say that the old man had been calm lately, Xu Shi knew something was wrong.
After all, he knew perfectly well that Lin Wenhua was not the kind of person who would die in silence, given his personality.
Having suffered two losses in a row, especially the huge loss of Jiang Fengshan, the old man certainly wouldn't be willing to accept it.
And this was his counterattack.
In fact, this is a common tactic used by conglomerates—you can't always rely on those ambitious Sin City gangs.
When laws have little effect, rules seem insignificant.
This six-pointed star assassin was clearly more composed than Lin Yue. Xu Shi could tell that the other party might not make a move today, otherwise the two of them would probably have bumped into each other at the hospital... For this kind of person, the flaws he had created were obviously not big enough; what they were looking for was an opportunity to kill in one blow.
And it's common for people to wait for such an opportunity for another ten days or half a month.
Unfortunately, she was unlucky and ran into Xia Wuyou, which led to her being caught in the act and the assassination attempt being aborted.
However, speaking of which...
"Why didn't you just kill her, instead of bringing her here?"
Xu Shi led Xia Wuyou into his office, then looked her over with interest and asked her a question.
"Well……"
Xia Wuyou was taken aback by the question and hesitated for a while before giving an explanation, "She definitely didn't want to assassinate me, but you... I just helped you solve the problem, you can decide how to deal with it yourself."
This can be considered the truth.
Actually, Xu Shi hadn't considered it beforehand; she just did it subconsciously... But now that she thinks about it, it's definitely not in line with her usual style.
Perhaps it's because of his recent deliberate imitation of Su Lin's behavioral patterns?
She felt that this was the reason—the pleasure she felt from wholeheartedly obeying orders to harm He Yuzhao last time made her feel incredibly happy.
Let him make the decisions; I'll just play my role as the sharp blade... I have to admit, this more straightforward way of doing things has indeed saved me a lot of trouble.
"oh."
Hearing her say that, Xu Shi simply responded calmly, but a hint of mockery flashed across his face.
Director Su's instigation certainly played a part in this, but Xia Wuyou herself probably didn't realize that "imitating her behavior" was itself a manifestation of sinking deeper and deeper into depravity.
Because Su Lin is your number one loyal dog, isn't she...? Why are you so eager to emulate her? Right?
Of course, she certainly didn't have Su Lin's peculiar sense of humor—Director Su would probably be a black dog if she were cut open, while Xia Wuyou's actions seemed more like a way of hoping to gain recognition... to curry favor?
Xu Shi's current feeling is that the grumpy little cat caught a fish, then scaled and removed its thorns before presenting it to its owner.
Her reluctance to speak up made her seem rather cute.
"I really have to thank Team Leader Xia for protecting my safety."
He was very satisfied with Xia Wuyou's performance, took her hand and bowed slightly, "It's just time for dinner, how about we have a meal together as my way of thanking you?"
This kind of behavior is definitely worth rewarding.
"...Chairman Xu, there's no need for thanks. This is just my job."
Xia Wuyou hesitated for a moment before shaking her head, her half-step back a beat slower than usual. "I still have to go to the hospital... I'm sorry I can't accept your kindness."
"Alright, then let's do it another day."
Xu Shi didn't stop her, watching her hurriedly flee in panic.
Why go to the hospital? It's just an excuse. He just came back from the hospital. How could he not know that Xia Ke'an has closed treatment today? No one else is allowed to visit her.
Still not honest enough, girl... He smiled helplessly, but for Xia Wuyou, this action was actually quite amusing.
