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

Lin Yue thought to herself, "I don't believe you for a second," but she had no other choice but to hope that Xu Shi still had some conscience.

She looked at her sister, hoping she would say a few words, but all she got was silence—Lin Xing remained unconscious and showed no sign of responding.

Actually, she's just experiencing a system crash... Xu Shi didn't have any excessively wicked sense of humor, like logging on with two accounts at the same time to perform a double act for the little assassin girl. What if she really got a split personality? That would be a huge loss.

In the eerie atmosphere, Lin Yue reluctantly ended the communication.

Xu Shi laughed so hard he almost fell over.

The villainous dog is like this: he takes pleasure in the suffering of others.

Just as I closed the interface, Xia Wuyou walked in.

"what's wrong?"

Xu Shi asked with a smile, but inwardly he was surprised that even he had started to stop knocking...

"Some reports need to be reviewed by Chairman Xu."

Xia Wuyou put down what she was holding on the table, looking at him with a smile in her eyes, "But what are you doing?"

She thought she overheard Xu Shi talking to someone, and the nasty tone made her realize that he was up to no good again.

"Want to hear it?"

Xu Shi didn't avoid her and beckoned to her with his finger.

Xia Wuyou sat on his lap with practiced ease, listening to him recount what had just happened.

"...That's it."

She didn't react much after hearing it. She and Lin Yue weren't very familiar with each other, so how could you expect her to sympathize with you?

But thinking about it carefully, the experience of this leader of the Sixth District is somewhat similar to my own. We were both threatened by bad guys to do things, and the target of our bad deeds was Shen He...

"Hey, do you have some kind of hobby in this area?"

Thinking about it this way, Xia Wuyou suddenly felt a bit amused and exasperated. Wasn't it enough that she had done it once? Why is she doing it again?

"It's still not quite the same, is it?"

Xu Shi shamelessly said, "I didn't change my identity to stay by your side to correct your behavior back then... This is a wildcat that's even more unruly than you."

It's essentially like a simulation game... I also got to experience the joy of gang members in Sin City fighting for territory, which was a lot of fun.

"So you're really smug?"

Xia Wuyou gave a slight reproach, but upon seeing Lin Xing in the dark room, she instantly understood everything. Wasn't this the cyborg assassin she had captured near the company back then...?

However, she really didn't expect there to be such a way to play; it just goes to show how many tricks bad men have up their sleeves.

"Looking closely, Lin Xing isn't bad-looking... How come our Chairman Xu can resist making a move on her?"

Looking at the other person's defeated expression, she couldn't help but make a teasing remark.

"What should we do then?"

Xu Shi pretended to be distressed.

Then he saw Xia Wuyou smile and point to herself, looking like she was volunteering.

“It’s working hours now, Team Leader Xia, oh no, Supervisor Xia.”

Seeing how obedient the other person was made him want to laugh.

"Is taking care of one's own board members also considered part of the job?"

Xia Wuyou said indifferently, but paused when he heard Xu Shi say that.

After a moment's thought, she blinked and slowly slid down.

As we all know, there is a gap under the legs of a large office desk.

The innocent Ms. Xu had never understood why it was designed this way until she saw that the spot was just big enough for her to kneel down, and then she understood a little.

Oh, so that's how it's used.

"Logically speaking, this is the secretary's job... but you seem unusually proactive today."

He clicked his tongue twice, yet still tried to put on the airs of a virtuous gentleman.

"Ugh... I wonder who's been deliberately ignoring me these past few days..."

Xia Wuyou complained verbally.

Ghostly, is this really her?

Xu Shi gasped, inwardly sighing at her current infatuated behavior, but then he realized that it was probably his own doing...

Alright alright.

He shrugged and began to enjoy himself with contentment.

But then again, according to the usual plot development, shouldn't someone break in next?

Hello, yes.

So not long after, someone knocked on the door. I checked the security camera and it was Jiang Chengcheng... Actually, I didn't even need to check. She's the only one among my acquaintances who knows how to knock. People I don't know don't come at all.

Xu Shi rolled his eyes and opened the door for her.

"Chairman Xu."

Jiang Chengcheng looked a little tired, but her eyes were filled with undisguised joy.

"what happened?"

Xu Shi asked, feigning calmness.

"The task you entrusted to me has yielded results."

Jiang Chengcheng held up the metal box in her hand, "It's a customized, enhanced weapon for specific individuals~"

"!"

Xu Shi suddenly woke up with a start: The goods have been shipped?

Good heavens, he was so pampered he was in a trance and didn't even realize what was happening. Compared to the second-generation chip that he used to prank Lin Wenhua, this was the real big deal...

"!"

Xia Wuyou, who was under the table, was also startled.

How... how were you able to let people in at that time?

She was so engrossed in eating her lollipop that she didn't even think to stop Xu Shi. She only snapped back to reality when she heard Jiang Chengcheng's voice. This…

And if you're listening carefully, it means there's something important going on. So what am I supposed to do?

"?"

Seeing Xu Shi's reaction, Jiang Chengcheng was also a little surprised.

She was mainly annoyed. She hadn't spent much time with Xu Shi because of this, and she thought to herself, "At least you should come over and hug me, right? What's with you sitting back and doing nothing?"

"...If you want to see it, come and get it yourself."

So she got a little temperamental, pulled the box behind her back, and pouted while muttering.

"I can't take it."

Xu Shi was the first to regain his composure and beckoned to her, "Bring it over here."

"I do not."

"Are you being disobedient?"

"……Know it."

Jiang Chengcheng couldn't resist him. The truth was, she even found it difficult to refuse Xu Shi. It was already hard enough for her to restrain herself from rushing over... So she quickly gave in and went to Xu Shi's side.

Then, she naturally saw Xia Wuyou, who was at a loss under the table.

"Oh! You...you...Manager Xia?!"

Jiang Chengcheng was startled. As an ordinary person, she had no idea that there was someone else here, let alone that this person would be Xia Wuyou.

"Manager Jiang, hello?"

Xia Wuyou froze for a few seconds, then woodenly greeted her, only to drool dripping down her chin when she looked up – it was incredibly embarrassing…

In fact, both of them were equally surprised. Who didn't know that the other was another iceberg in the company?

The situation was slightly better for Xia Wuyou. She already knew that this person was actually Xu Shi's number one die-hard fan, no less so than Su Lin. However, the contrast between her obedient and docile appearance was still quite unexpected.

Jiang Chengcheng was genuinely bewildered, because she really didn't understand that Xu Shi and Xia Wuyou had gone this far. Good heavens, in broad daylight, you two have really gone too far...

Some people inwardly condemn themselves, completely forgetting how audacious they used to be...

"alright."

Xu Shi waved his hand dismissively and patted Xia Wuyou, signaling her to get up and tidy up.

"Oh."

Xia Wuyou quickly wiped her mouth, then blushed and stood up abruptly, bowing her head and standing next to Xu Shi.

Why do I keep getting bumped into here? Is this some kind of hellish dungeon?

"Show me?"

Xu Shi ignored how shy she was and pointed to the long metal box on the table, asking a question.

"……Um."

Jiang Chengcheng came to her senses, sighed helplessly, and opened the box.

What came into view of the three was a slender cane.

It looks quite luxurious, gilded and carved with patterns. The armrest is a snake head with some subtle connecting buckles.

"This is?"

"A weapon system specifically designed for you."

Jiang Chengcheng repeated, "You have a mental-type ascending ability. Connecting with it will enhance your abilities."

"As you said before, your ability only takes effect when touched, and most of the time it can only affect one person. So I designed it so that your ability can spread and affect a certain range of people simultaneously without making contact."
