Looking at Tang Shuang's retreating figure, Xu Shi couldn't help but chuckle.
It seems that this is how she always leaves her office.
Compared to her forced composure at first sight, she seemed much more natural this time, but she also appeared to have lost her composure considerably.
Xu Shi couldn't help but be curious. This wasn't like her usual style, and it was different from her exasperated state in prison last time... What was going on?
...Could it be due to complications from his superpower?
Realizing this, Xu Shi's expression became somewhat strange—he knew what Tang Shuang's symptoms were; when they flared up, they were indeed terrifying.
In his view, Tang Shuang's supernatural complications in the original work were purely designed to give Shen He a... cough, to enhance their relationship, with a meaning of "I am immune to all poisons, but I am helpless against the aphrodisiac, so please help me."
However, he never expected that he had become a side dish for people making beans.
No, or at least it shouldn't be.
But from another perspective, isn't this also a sign that she is letting her guard down?
Given that her work has been focused on her own affairs lately, it seems that Director Tang is becoming increasingly accustomed to her role as the "captain of the outsourced security team for 'Snake Ring'".
Xu Shi was quite satisfied with this. Who wouldn't like such a dedicated and unpaid laborer?
I wonder how she will react if she discovers that the assassin she was asked to find is actually just a wall away from her.
He opened the hidden door beside him, and inside, the six-pointed star remained docile, awaiting his next instruction.
"Good girl."
Xu Shi smiled and patted her head.
Lin Wenhua was the one who flipped the table first, so it wouldn't be right for me not to retaliate—including all the publicity, which I personally contacted "Xu Shu" to create momentum, so everyone should direct their criticism at the old man.
It would also be a good opportunity to clean up some of the likes of Xu Anbang and other disloyal and disloyal people. Why not kill two birds with one stone?
The so-called weakness is relative. The six-pointed star may not pose any threat to itself, but it may not be to others.
This is enough to give Lin Wenhua a headache for a while... Anyway, he can't explain it clearly, and the only thing he can do is try to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible.
I won't let him have his way—the objective has been achieved, so there's no need to continue the assassination.
As for Miss Hexagram, she can just stay here quietly. With the extent of her cybernetic modifications, she doesn't even need to worry about food and drink; one tube of energy reagent will last her a long time.
This is why the six major conglomerates are all strongly advocating for their employees to undergo human body modification, and why lower-level workers have no choice but to join Glorious Evolution in order to save on living costs.
One side gains a more efficient workforce, while the other can work longer and earn more money; this is undoubtedly a win-win situation.
However, her value is not limited to this. When the time is right, she will have the opportunity to continue to shine.
"You're happy too, aren't you?"
Looking at the six-pointed star in front of him, Xu Shi asked with great interest.
The other party did not give any response, but gradually lowered their head and entered standby mode.
well.
Xu Shi sighed inwardly, realizing that too many modifications weren't a good thing, as they had diminished the fun of interaction.
Not long after I came out of the darkroom, the communicator on the table rang.
Upon opening the caller ID, it was Xie Qingyan.
oh?
Is this... finally unable to hold back?
Xu Shi blinked.
He was very confident that Xie Qingyan's private investigation would yield no results—after all, if Luo Zhikang wasn't considered, only she and Jiang Chengcheng knew about the "Over-Limit Project."
At most, Su Lin could be added, but even the gossipmonger Gu Yi was completely unaware of this.
Under such circumstances, she would definitely take the initiative to come to him.
Not to mention that I provoked her addiction, this bad woman is just like that by nature. She'll at least try something first, whether there's a chance or not, but she'll never let go of any potential opportunity.
Just in time, she'd been waiting for him to shut down for a while... Thinking this, Xu Shi leisurely reconnected the call a second before it automatically ended.
"Hello?"
"...Not busy this time? You don't need someone else to answer the phone for you?"
There was a moment of silence before a response came from the other end: "I was afraid of disturbing your enjoyment again, my dear fiancé."
It was clear that Xie Qingyan was still holding a grudge about what happened last time, her tone laced with sarcasm.
"You didn't bother me before, it just made me more excited."
Xu Shi teased, "Speaking of which, I should thank you, my dear fiancée."
"...Let's get straight to the point."
Xie Qingyan felt like he'd punched a cotton ball, and reluctantly changed the subject to get straight to the point, "Do you really have something worth cooperating on? If you do, why don't you tell me in detail?"
To be honest, based on her understanding of Xu Shi, she didn't think he could pull out any truly valuable treasures.
The investigation also found no clues, which made Xie Qingyan believe that it was just Xu Shi's casual remark.
However, his recent changes cannot be ignored... After much thought, Xie Qingyan decided to confirm it first.
"Of course."
Xu Shi did not deny it, "However, it's not appropriate to talk about such things over the phone."
"If Chairman Xie is interested, how about we go out for dinner tonight?"
Chairman Xie?
He calls himself Chairman Xie?
There would be no problem with others calling him that, but Xie Qingyan felt inexplicably uncomfortable being addressed that way by Xu Shi.
