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

"Yes, the adjacent fourth district is the hospital that 'Prism' has booked."

Xu Shi also enjoyed seeing this scene. After all, he was now the behind-the-scenes mastermind of the city, and naturally he wanted to see his territory flourish.

"As long as we agree, it's not difficult to do, right?"

Director Tang remarked with emotion, "So, from a macro perspective, our Officer Xu is actually a good person."

"Please don't, I'm just a businessman."

Xu Shi quickly waved his hand. He didn't care about other words of praise, but he couldn't stand being called a "good person." He could only say that himself, but he really couldn't stand it when others said it about him.

"I said yes."

Tang Shuang glanced at him and said, "Subordinates are not allowed to kiss their superiors."

"...Fine, you're the boss, you decide."

Xu Shi was both amused and exasperated. "So you've learned to flatter people now?"

Amidst the banter, the car came to a stop in front of a dead-end road blocked by gravel.

"Go down and take a look?"

Tang Shuang suggested to Xu Shi, "I rarely patrol so thoroughly when I come to Sin City before, but we have plenty of time today, so it's fine to be more meticulous."

"Okay."

Xu Shi didn't object. Come to think of it, this area seems to be the same area where Gu Yi used to live, right?

Returning to a familiar place brings a unique feeling to my heart.

Unfortunately, we didn't find anything. As we went further in, we saw mostly empty, makeshift houses. Most of the residents had already moved away, or at least moved to temporary shantytowns.

Thinking about this makes me chuckle a little – people from Sin City usually call each other "conglomerate dogs" and "Night City dogs," but now that they have the opportunity to improve their lives, we don't hear those kinds of comments much. Instead, under various news videos, there are quite a few IP addresses from Sin City giving likes and cheers.

Is this just human nature? But it's understandable; when people have good days, who would continue to eat coarse food?

"Speaking of which, I remember that the Sixth District next door was already developing quite well before the 'Feather Pen' redevelopment plan?"

Tang Shuang kicked away a pebble at her feet. "I was a little worried when 'Disgae' was destroyed, but I didn't expect them to transform and develop so quickly and so well. That really surprised me."

"If I remember correctly, their leaders are a pair of sisters? I might have to meet the elder sister, Lin Yue, in a few days. Would you like to come along?"

She asked that casually.

"No need, are you afraid you won't handle this kind of thing well?"

Xu Shi shook his head. He had just given the assassin girl a good lesson a couple of days ago, so he needed to take it easy... Besides, if he really wanted to see Lin Yue, it was simple. He could just go directly; he didn't want to go with her.

However, judging from Tang Shuang's expression, she clearly doesn't know much about the matter between him and "Spark".

"Love will come or not."

Tang Shuang snorted. Why does this guy always talk like that? Even his nice words sound awful to him…

But the next second, her pupils suddenly contracted, she drew her sidearm from her waist, and flashed in front of Xu Shi, shouting, "Watch out! Something's up!"

There is indeed a situation.

Before she could finish speaking, a group of hooded people suddenly jumped out from all directions, some carrying guns and others carrying knives, and attacked the two of them without saying a word.

Judging from their attire, they are remnants of the "Longcheng" and Shen Qin's "Forgotten Ones".

Xu Shi was just talking to Tang Shuang yesterday about sending people to wipe them out, but I never expected to run into them here. They really are everywhere...

However, they were not entirely no match for Tang Shuang. Director Tang didn't even need to use her special abilities; with just her superb marksmanship, she quickly and easily dealt with these troublemakers, ending the battle effortlessly.

"Holy crap... what's going on..."

The leader of the group died with resentment in his eyes, clearly not expecting to encounter such a terrifying opponent.

In truth, they were just unlucky. After the riot, these remnants of the riots were still up in their ways and still dreamed of hiding and causing some damage. So when they saw Xu Shi and Tang Shuang get out of the car and walk into the ruins, they decided to take action against them.

Killing one on the left and one on the right will still have some impact, especially since the targets are people from the inspection bureau, the effect will naturally be even better.

It's a pity they hadn't met Tang Shuang before; she wasn't on the main battlefield during the riots... Xu Shi was quite well-known, but since he was wearing the Inspection Bureau uniform today, they didn't recognize him at first.

I thought I was just causing a minor incident, but I ended up stirring up trouble in Laos. (Just kidding.)

"Are you alright, Xu Shi?"

After taking down the last enemy, Tang Shuang quickly asked, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

Xu Shi shook his head; he was perfectly fine—when he was ambushed, Director Tang had almost instinctively shielded him, and he probably hadn't lost a single hair.

"It's okay."

After a quick check, Tang Shuang finally relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief, but she still wouldn't let it go, saying, "If anything had happened to you, 'Snake Ring' would have eaten me alive..."

Before she could react, Xu Shi suddenly drew his pistol and pointed it directly at her forehead.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Shi pulled the trigger.

"go to hell."

boom.

Blood splattered.

I've gotten a feel for it, and it's pretty good. I'll continue tomorrow.

I recommend a friend's book, "I Only Hit You Twice, You Cut Me 100,000 Times?" It's from a pro's alternate account, so the quality is guaranteed.

Also, I wish all the college entrance examination candidates success in their exams and a bright future in their studies. Good luck!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 185 You dare yell at me? You think you can turn the world upside down?!

This sudden attack caused quite a stir.

So before long, people from all walks of life scattered around the demolition area arrived one after another to check the situation.

Then, they saw the remnants of the "Forgotten Ones" scattered all over the ground, and Xu Shi and Tang Shuang standing face to face.

The gun in Xu Shi's hand was still smoking, and he had a faint smile on his face.

Tang Shuang was somewhat dazed, her body trembled slightly, and her face was a little pale.

Not far behind her lay a fresh corpse—shot to the point of death from a single bullet.

His skin color was similar to the surrounding environment, and it only returned to normal as his vital signs gradually disappeared, clearly indicating that he had awakened a chameleon-like ability to change his appearance.

This person was also strapped with explosives, clearly knowing that ordinary methods would not work, so he wanted to launch a suicide attack in this way so that he could perish together with Xu Shi and Tang Shuang.

"...Governor Tang?!"

Someone was the first to react, "And this one... Chairman Xu?!"

Judging from their surprised expressions, it was clear that they had only just noticed the two people there. It wasn't surprising, though; a police vehicle simply passing by wouldn't attract their attention.

Moreover, who would have thought that two people in such high positions would personally inspect the area in such a way?

"Chairman Xu, are you alright?!"

A junior leader from the "Snake Ring" group in the crowd paused for a moment, then rushed over, anxiously inquiring about their well-being, "Are you injured? Should I call a doctor for you? It's all my fault for being negligent; I didn't expect there to be any remnants of the 'Forgotten Ones' in this wasteland. Please punish me, punish me..."

He was absolutely terrified!

Just kidding. If Xu Shi really had an accident less than 500 meters away from him, even if it was just a minor scrape, it would be a disaster for him.

Putting everything else aside, I'm afraid Director Su would be the first to skin him alive.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine."

Xu Shi blew away the gunpowder smoke and waved his hand indifferently, "Governor Tang and I just decided to come to Sin City on a whim, we didn't need to inform you in advance."

"However, you also need to pay more attention. It's good to focus on construction, but these lingering hidden dangers must be eliminated first, otherwise there will inevitably be trouble, understand?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Not only the "Snake Ring" group, but also members of several other conglomerates echoed the sentiment, while secretly relieved that this man didn't seem about to get angry...

"Alright, that's settled then."

Xu Shizhen wasn't in the mood for this at all. He pulled Tang Shuang along and prepared to leave, saying, "We're leaving. You guys go ahead and do your things."

"Should I send someone to escort them...?"

"roll."

"Hey, good."

The "snake ring" junior leader quickly got out of there, and the others wisely dispersed as well.

Tang Shuang was still somewhat dazed and didn't react at all to Xu Shi's gesture of taking her hand. She was led away from there like a puppet on a string.

Even after she got back into the car for a while, she still looked blank.

"Oh dear, it seems the director can't drive."

Xu Shi shook his head regretfully, got into the driver's seat, and handed Tang Shuang her water bottle. "Let me drive. Want some water?"

"..."

Tang Shuang remained silent, mechanically gulping down two mouthfuls before letting out a soft sigh, as if she had been reactivated.

“Xu Shi…”

She licked her dry lips and stammered out a call.

"What's wrong? Don't worry, my driving skills are still pretty good."

Xu Shi stared intently ahead, responding with a joke.

"What happened to you just now?"

Director Tang gripped his water glass tightly and asked in a low voice.

"What? What happened? You mean, shoot?"

Xu Shi laughed and said, "It's not like I don't know how to handle a gun... Although I can't compare to you professionals who have formal training, my accuracy is still guaranteed."

That's true, it's just one of the hobbies of spoiled rich kids. Guns and mechs are the ultimate romance for men, after all.
