Chapter 665 Shangguan Yan's Request
Xia Shou stared at the body of the orphanage teacher in shock, a look of self-doubt on his face.

No, according to my own reasoning, it shouldn’t be like this!
Xia Shou tried to recall his reasoning process, but found that he could not remember it. He only remembered that he came to the conclusion after Jiang Wengao told him some secrets, but he has forgotten these secrets now.

Now, he only remembers the conclusion but forgets the reasoning process.

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to talk to Xiao Gao again later.

Xia Shou glanced at the ground a few times and finally saw the long board wrapped in checkered cloth at the door of the office.

"What is that?" Jiang Wengao walked to the door, picked up the long board, and was about to untie the rope on it.

"Don't move!" Xia Shou suddenly shouted.

Xia Shou took the board from the other party and said seriously: "If nothing unexpected happens, I guess the painting inside should be drawn by Naganuma Juzaburo."

"Then let's take a picture. Naganuma Juzaburo's paintings can only affect the direct observer." Shangguan Yan said, "Let Xiao Li send it to the research department and explain it to them. We will continue the meeting just now."

Li Ming wiped the blood off his face, took the painting, stepped over the corpse, and rushed to the research department.

The meeting continued, but the next process was to have individual conversations, with a constant number of people aware of the content, and the information could only be told to the most suitable people.

Shangguan Yan walked into the minister's office and called people in one by one for talks, starting with Mo Ying. Xia Shou was the second person.

As soon as Xia Shou entered the office and closed the door, Shangguan Yan asked, "Xiao Xia, I have an unreasonable request. I hope you can agree to it."

"What?" Xia Shou looked surprised.

He stared at Shangguan Yan's face in surprise. The other person's expression remained the same as usual, smiling, mysterious, elegant and calm.

Xia Shou even felt that he had just heard an auditory hallucination.

"Of course, you can put forward any conditions you want, and I will try my best to satisfy you. I can say frankly that this transaction is a very rare opportunity for you. If you miss it, it will be difficult to get it again next time.

Do you remember when you first joined the club?

When you first filled out your job application, you didn't want to join my department. I said the same thing then as I do now. It's okay if you don't want to join now, but if you change your mind in the future, the price will be different.

You lost money last time. You must have worked overtime a lot during that period. But the price increase was actually very small. But this time is different, so you have to think about it seriously. "

Sure enough, it was a deal.

I knew that the minister would never say such a word as an unreasonable request. In this woman's eyes, an unreasonable request just gives you the right to decide whether to trade or not, but that is actually just an illusion.

It was like this when he joined the team. Now thinking about it, he lost out completely.

However, you still have to be careful when doing business with the minister, because this woman is extremely cunning and treacherous.

Frankly speaking, Xia Shou had very complicated feelings towards Shangguan Yan. When he first joined the club, he actually hated him very much during that period.

The exploitative tactics that treated him like a dog, the overt and covert threats, made him feel insecure. He felt the absurdity of having a noose around his neck and being forced to do acrobatics with a ball.

On the one hand, the risk to one's own safety is entirely brought by the other party, but on the other hand, one must obey the other party's orders.

If there was no other way out, he would have gotten rid of the other person long ago.

But as time went by, he gradually discovered the benefits. Now he knows that there are some things that no one can help him solve except Shangguan Yan.

Xia Shou even gradually got used to it. Although he knew in his heart that this kind of thinking was very strange, he did have this idea, that is, as long as he was obedient, he would be safe, and he would also get many benefits and be protected by power.

This is a dangerous thought, but everything that has happened so far has only reinforced this conclusion. To be honest... it's hard to resist.

He really began to get used to following the other party's orders, and he was very clear that apart from the "passivity" that disgusted him, at critical moments, the minister's orders almost never conflicted with his goals.

It feels like there is a high and mighty person in power standing beside you, constantly ordering you in an annoying tone and in a forceful manner to "eat well", "rest well", "be careful and bring my bodyguard with you when you go out".

It is really hard to resist such a request.

Xia Shou sat down carefully, looked away, and said softly, "Minister, please speak."

"I want your seven-branch fragment." Shangguan Yan said this in a calm tone.

There was no wave of excitement in her eyes, but she was extremely nervous in her heart.

In fact, she didn't need Xia Shou's Seven-branch Fragment at all, because she planned to plunder other people's Seven-branch Fragments in this incident to complete the transaction with the Thirsty Goat.

But this was the original plan, and plans cannot keep up with changes.

The extent of the city's unrest and the time when the reflection world was activated were different from what she had expected. Now she was not even sure how many fragment owners on the hunting list were still active in the city.

If the owners of those fragments were all cowards and hid in their cocoons because of the control bureau's ultimatum, then she would have no chance at all.

She didn't want to be forced to ascend. It took her so many years to find him, how could she become an inhuman being?

Shangguan Yan could feel that Xia Shou had become more and more trusting of him recently.

This made her happy, but also worried.

The new contract she agreed upon with Yangtou only listed Xia Shou as an exception, but it still applied to everyone else.

The second of the three taboos is not only related to the person being helped, but also to other people.

[Don’t let others regard your actions as unrequited help. ]

If in the future, other people regard her care for Xia Shou as unrequited kindness, it will still trigger punishment, which is also extremely troublesome.

Even if she succeeded in making Xia Shou an exception this time, she still had to show absolute high pressure in front of other people to maintain her image as a witch.

Shangguan Yan felt that if this continued, sooner or later someone would think that he looked at Xia Shou differently, especially when Xia Shou was so cooperative.

After all, if one person abuses another person and the victim resists, outsiders will think it is bullying.

But if the victim endures it silently, or even obeys the instructions, some people may mistakenly think it is SM.

This possibility cannot be ignored.

At least be careful before you kill the thirsty goat completely.

"Of course, after killing the writer. I don't need it right now, so you have a lot of time to think about it."

Shangguan Yan said this and stood up and left his seat.

She walked around the desk, walked over to Xia Shou, put her hand on Xia Shou's shoulder, chuckled and asked, "Is the equipment box I buried at home useful?"
