"Young Master, are you sure you still want to entrust the escort mission to her?"
The atmosphere in the restaurant returned to calm, and Su Lin, now relaxed, asked softly.
"What's wrong with handing it over to her?"
Xu Shi smiled and asked in return, "There is no one more suitable than her."
In fact, when he sensed Xia Wuyou's wavering, he knew he had the upper hand.
Not to mention that the other party simply couldn't refuse the conditions he offered, the most important thing was that Xia Wuyou's only weakness had been firmly grasped in his hands.
Under such circumstances, how could she not obediently listen?
However, Xia Wuyou's mental fortitude is indeed very strong. Even after being torn apart for so long, his first reaction was not to give in, but to fight to the death.
This was within Xu Shi's expectations—he suffered a tragic accident in his childhood, watching his loved ones die before his eyes, and then had to learn to shoulder the burden of life alone with his tender shoulders.
After joining "Snake Ring", she has been engaged in dangerous work on the front lines of life and death in the field operations department... Such an experience is something that Gu Yi, a kid, can't compare to.
Fortunately, he was prepared and easily broke down her last defenses with "entropy of evil thoughts," completely taking control of the situation.
Otherwise it would really be troublesome... Xu Shi muttered to himself as he glanced around the restaurant. Everyone still eating was silent and trembling, with no one daring to have any opinion on the commotion just now.
Sigh, this is how a normal person should react when facing their own villainous young master.
Su Lin didn't think about it that way. In her understanding, superpowers have too many uncertainties, and there is no situation where "because I know what my superpower is, I am eager to awaken it".
It was probably a coincidence, which just happened to add the finishing touch.
But she was still very surprised, because she had no idea when Xu Shi had become so familiar with Xia Wuyou's background.
The same goes for Gu Yi last time... I've never heard him say any of this before!
Is this still the same young master who only knew how to indulge in debauchery, speeding, and partying?
If she had any doubts before, after this incident, she was completely certain that Xu Shi had been hiding his true abilities.
"Young Master, how did you know Xia Wuyou's true identity?"
She still couldn't contain herself and asked cautiously.
"As a director of the group, isn't it normal for him to know about the situation of his employees?"
Xu Shi, of course, did not give a direct answer, but calmly drank the tea in front of him in one gulp.
"...It was my oversight."
Upon hearing this, Su Lin paused for a moment, then lowered her eyes in fear, "Please punish me, young master."
It was clear that although she genuinely thought it was a good thing, Xu Shi's sudden display of skill still made her somewhat uneasy.
The words used to brush her off were taken as a warning to her as the HR director.
After all, this was supposed to be her responsibility... If it really caused a major disaster, she wouldn't be able to escape responsibility either.
What are you doing?
Xu Shi was somewhat surprised by her reaction. "I'm not blaming you, you don't need to be so...uh..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt dizzy.
My heart rate spiked instantly, a tearing sensation spread through my mind, and the sounds around me became distorted and blurry.
When he looked at Su Lin again, a strange thought suddenly occurred to him.
Speaking of which, although it wasn't mentioned in the original work, was she really that trustworthy?
He knew his own character all too well. Could anyone really follow that kind of spoiled brat wholeheartedly?
Perhaps she has some other ulterior motive? Should we investigate that as well...?
Thinking this, Xu Shi suddenly felt his thoughts were in disarray, and his breathing became rapid involuntarily.
"Young Master?"
Su Lin was somewhat panicked when she saw this, but she quickly realized what had happened. She hurriedly took out a medicine bottle and fed him the capsule inside.
The medicine took effect quickly, and I regained consciousness in less than a minute, and the distracting thoughts in my mind receded like the tide.
"call……"
He caught his breath, still shaken, "I just..."
"I'm sorry, young master, it was my oversight."
Su Lin asked with concern, "It should be a complication caused by your superpower. Since it's your first time, the reaction will be even stronger."
"I should have reminded you sooner. Luckily, I've always carried suppressants with me..."
"...It's alright, thank you for your thoughtfulness."
Xu Shi came to his senses and realized what it was.
Knowing the plot, he naturally knew what the complications were, in addition to his own superpowers.
Suspicion.
A more professional term is paranoia.
However, the original owner never cared about this at all. Coupled with his outrageous and inhumane actions that kept pushing the boundaries, this complication eventually left him with no one to rely on, and he himself fell into a severe state of madness.
This was one of the key factors that led to his failure.
The blocker that Su Lin took was a targeted drug used to alleviate her symptoms.
Of course, this stuff is only effective for mental illnesses; it cannot alleviate physical ailments.
"...If I remember correctly, Su Lin, you also have mental health issues?"
Speaking of this, he suddenly became curious, "And you're an A-level ascendant, your symptoms should be more severe... but I don't think I've ever seen you take any medication?"
"Yes, after using my ability, I will fall into a state of extreme mania."
Su Lin nodded, not hiding her weakness from him, "But I've been trained, and now I can control myself without drugs."
