In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

Besides, even if she really is incompetent, doesn't she still have her good younger sister?

and so.

"Should I thank my fiancé for his generosity?"

Xie Qingyan also found it hard to believe that Xu Shi would put this cake in his mouth, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't find any fault with it, so she could only make a few sarcastic remarks.

The only problem she could think of was that this might cause her to fall out with "Dragon City." However, the fact that she controlled "White Iron" was a secret, and Long Tianding had never noticed it. Even if she instructed Song Ziyou to take down "Angry Wolf," given the environment in Sin City, no one would think there was a problem. It would just be a normal gang dispute, not as serious as the one involving "Disge"... "Angry Wolf" had already gone that far, it would be a problem not to kick him while he was down.

Even if Long Tianding did discover something by following the clues, he wouldn't actually turn against him—the fact is that "Prism" and "Dragon City" haven't had much contact before, and their relationship isn't particularly good or bad. In the current situation, the other party might still have to rely on him.

In conclusion, this cake is edible.

As for "Lin Yue" and Xing Huo, she really didn't know that they were actually Xu Shi's people... No matter how shrewd she was, she couldn't be omniscient and omnipotent, and very few people knew about this.

"I've always been a very magnanimous person, otherwise I would have spanked you long ago."

Xu Shi retorted jokingly, "After all, you were the one who pulled the strings before, not me, right?"

"...How dare you?"

Being told this to his face, Xie Qingyan's expression wasn't very pleasant either. After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, he left with Ye Shanshan.

Xu Shi laughed and thought to himself that his fiancée's buttocks were actually quite nice, and it would feel good to hit them.

After Xie Qingyan left, he quickly contacted Ding Jun.

"...You won't let me get involved?"

Upon hearing the other party's purpose, Ding Jun felt somewhat helpless.

He had already suffered a huge loss by giving away half of the Sixth District last time, and this time he wasn't even allowed to participate in the entire Tenth District. His heart was bleeding.

"Sit still."

Xu Shi joked, "Anyway, I know that Chief Ding hasn't lost money during this period; on the contrary, he's made quite a bit, hasn't he?"

"No way..."

Ding Jun sighed and played the victim, "I'm not really good at Zhang Shijun's businesses to begin with, and those two young girls under you, Chairman Xu, are always causing trouble. How can this be considered making a profit..."

"But didn't you make quite a bit of money in Night City? Do you need me to list it out for you in detail?"

Xu Shi interrupted him, "You haven't put your core base in Sin City for a long time, don't try to fool me."

"..."

Ding Jun immediately shut up.

That's actually true.

If we were to say which of the district leaders in Sin City is the most ambitious, it would undoubtedly be Ding Jun.

While others were still fighting tooth and nail for Sin City's territory, this guy was already thinking about how to connect with the major corporations in Night City—the six major conglomerates might not be interested in him, but with his previous wealth, he was still quite sought after in second- or third-tier companies.

Thanks to Xu Shi's equipment assistance, although the sex doll business in the sixth district did not make much progress, other ways of making money have become much wider, which can be considered as losing one thing and gaining another.

Taking advantage of the recent influx of "The Forgotten Ones," he has also made numerous investments in Night City, generating stable profits.

"I heard Chief Ding is still self-studying business management? Why don't you come directly to 'Snake Ring'? I'll find a few senior members to give you one-on-one tutoring."

"...No need then, thank you for your concern, Chairman Xu."

Hearing this, Ding Jun broke out in a cold sweat. Xu Shi even knew about this? It seemed he hadn't let his guard down at all…

"Don't worry, I don't blame you."

Xu Shi casually said, "It's a good thing that people are ambitious. If there's an opportunity in the future, I can introduce you to some real big shots."

Actually, he was fairly at ease with Ding Jun. Firstly, the guy was obedient and hadn't caused any trouble since he joined him; he just complained about being poor, which wasn't a big problem.

Secondly, Ding Jun is genuinely ambitious. His aspirations are not limited to Sin City; he truly wants to cleanse his name and enter the upper echelons. From a macro perspective, this kind of person with vision is what he needs, not a gangster.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Chairman Xu."

Hearing Xu Shi say this, Ding Jun was also a little excited. He knew that this promise was a huge honor. In the past, when would he have had such an opportunity?

Progress! Progress!

"So, it would be enough if I did nothing at all? Why do I still need to..."

He quickly and solicitously said.

"No need, just stay put."

Xu Shi gave him instructions and then turned on Lin Xing's monitor.

I'll log in myself.

……

Sin City, District Six.

"...Okay, just leave the relevant things here."

Looking at the mountain of documents in front of her, Lin Yue also felt a headache coming on.

Over this period of time, she had secured half of the territory in the sixth district, but she did not expect that the truly difficult things would come one after another.

God knows that gang leaders also have to deal with this and that, just like company leaders? It's really a headache.

Especially with more subordinates, you have to consider how to support them. She would never do the original sex doll business, so she has to think of new ways to maintain economic stability... Looking at her increasingly dark circles, she couldn't help but sigh.

In the old "Spark" era, she didn't have to consider these things at all; she only realized how difficult it was once she actually got involved.

Ugh.

"What is my sister doing?"

Lin Xing skipped over and asked with great concern, her voice sweeter than her appearance suggested.

Yes.

As "Spark" expanded its influence, Lin Yue immediately helped her repair her vocal cords and replace mechanical parts. Now, she no longer needs to use gestures, making communication between the two sisters much easier.

When Xu Shi discovered this, she was somewhat moved. In a sense, it also showed Lin Yue's complete trust in her; she really listened to her younger sister.

Many of the cyborgs under her command who were originally used as sex dolls have now been rescued one by one. Getting these people back on track is one of the major things Lin Yue needs to do. If they want to stay, they can join in; if they don't want to, they can go back. They can live a normal life.

This half of District Six is ​​considered a haven of peace within Sin City.

"I still have some things to take care of. Why don't you go and rest first?"

Lin Yue smiled. Being with her sister was a very happy thing for her, and just looking at her made her feel much more relaxed.

The main thing is that Lin Xing can also be of help, whether in combat or in literary matters; in many ways, I am the one who needs to learn from her.

"Let me help my sister."

Lin Xing smiled back, and before Lin Yue could say anything more, she sat down next to her and started working with her.

Working together, the pile of stuff was dealt with much faster.

"It's really tough. It was much easier at the beginning, when I didn't have to think about all this."

After finishing her work, Lin Xing leaned against Lin Yue, asking for a kiss.

"You can't have it both ways, you silly girl."

Lin Yue was quite open-minded. "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." Being a neighborhood leader meant she wouldn't have to work so hard, but she would only be bullied.

As for revenge against Xu Shi? Forget about it, I'm sorry, I can't do it.

Only by gradually strengthening ourselves can we possibly grasp that sliver of hope.

"Oh~ my sister is being mean to me~"

Lin Xing muttered, "But speaking of which, what's your opinion on the matter in the Tenth District, sister?"

Everyone could see that "Angry Wolf" was exhausted. He had to make a decision quickly, otherwise others would seize the initiative and he would be left with nothing but helpless stares.

"Do I... still want a share of the profits like before?"

Lin Yue hugged her, her brows furrowing slightly as if she were uncertain, "But we've only just stabilized now, if we act rashly, wouldn't..."

She was still worried; you could tell she was anxious and uncertain.

On the one hand, even a centipede with a hundred legs will not die easily, and "Angry Wolf" will not be easily beaten no matter how much it is pulled. On the other hand, this time it is impossible to secretly reap benefits like last time. "Spark," which has re-emerged, will definitely be on the list of considerations of all parties.

What are your thoughts, little sister?

Lin Yue blinked, habitually choosing to seek Lin Xing's opinion.

"If it were me, I would definitely choose to give it a try."

Lin Xing snuggled closer to her and said very seriously, "Sister, you also said that you can't have your cake and eat it too. If we do nothing, we will naturally get nothing."

"Furthermore, we still have many unresolved issues, such as our revenue sources and weapons orders from Night City. If we could truly intercept 'Rage Wolf's' channels, the situation would definitely improve significantly."

This is the most pressing issue facing "Spark".

To establish oneself in Sin City, the most important things are money and guns. The former is manageable and can be maintained, but the latter is a bit troublesome.

After all, the biggest arms dealer is still "Snake Ring," but Lin Yue can't contact them, and she doesn't want to.

However, relying solely on individual ability is never enough; subordinates still need to be armed. Therefore, this issue must be considered, especially since we are currently in the stage of updating and iterating the "Snake Ring." Being a step behind could have unimaginable consequences.

For example, those "twin" chips, they can only get them from middlemen now, and the price is ridiculously high.

As for "Shark Tooth"? They can't even take care of themselves, there's no hope for them at all...

But if we could take over "Angry Wolf," things would be much better—they were a major arms dealer in Sin City, and once we had their distribution channels in hand, the problem would naturally be solved.

This isn't a sex trade, and Lin Yue herself isn't against it.

Economic problems will also be alleviated, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

In this light, it seems we have no choice but to fight for it?

"...Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lin Yue made up her mind. "It's getting late. You should go and rest. We'll make proper plans tomorrow."

"OK."

Lin Xing rubbed his face against hers and then left.

After her sister left, Lin Yue shook her head and collapsed onto the sofa next to her.
