It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Xu Shi did not respond to him. After all, this was not a question of being cautious or not. If possible, he did not want to trouble his grandfather. But the problem was that he was the only one who had the ability to instantly kill an S-level "Upgrader". Otherwise, with only the Long Tianding there, the battle might not be over by now.

What should I do? (grievance)

As well as the current director of the Inspection Bureau, Tang Shuang, and her adjutant, Yu Xingchuan.

No one was surprised at their appearance - even if no one knew what Xu Shi had arranged before, it was no longer a secret that Yue Chi was being detained by Tang Shuang.

Someone has to fill this hole, and now that Tang Shuang is here, his attitude is self-evident.

"Good morning, Director Tang."

Xu Shi was heartless and greeted her with a smile.

Unfortunately, all he got in return was a lukewarm roll of the eyes from Director Tang. How dare you take the initiative to say hello? You stinky little brother, crawl, crawl, crawl.

Instead, Yu Xingchuan came over enthusiastically, "Director Xu..."

Before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Su Lin. Seeing this, she had no choice but to stick out her tongue and retreat awkwardly.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get to the point?"

Qi Kang watched the interaction of the younger generations with great interest, and then took the initiative to start a conversation.

In fact, the theme of this meeting is very simple. It can be summed up in five words: divide the spoils.

After the fall of "Shark Tooth", no matter the industries under his command or the private property of the He family, it is a considerable fortune when counted. Including the small treasuries of people like Yue Chizheng and Lin Wenhua, it is quite a lot when added up.

Regarding this aspect, it is easy for everyone to reach a consensus. The part that only involves money can be divided equally, and the rest can be taken according to the nature of the industry.

Although the mainstay of "Shark Tooth" is the military industry, its businesses can be considered diversified. This is the same for everyone, and they just need to strengthen themselves.

Xu Shi was not stingy about this. Even though everyone had to act according to his mood, some things had to be sacrificed before they could be gained. Each family had made a lot of efforts. How could the fruits of victory fall into his hands alone? It was not conducive to unity.

Besides, this has little impact on him. On the contrary, the mainstay of "Shark Tooth" is military industry, and the bulk of the revenue still belongs to "Snake Ring".

But there is a story over in Sin City, or rather, the rules need to be re-established there.

"I am conveying his intention on behalf of the master. Before the fall of Dragon City, it had already established a development cooperation project with Feather Pen related to people's livelihood infrastructure. The master also hopes that these things can continue."

Ning Wei said slowly, his tone very serious.

"I agree."

Xu Shi continued, "My personal opinion is the same. For a long time, the unrest in Sin City has been a problem that cannot be underestimated. Not only does it have an impact on Night City, it is also a waste of resources."

"If we can break down the barriers between the two sides and integrate the 22 regions, it will be beneficial to both sides."

This is true. Sin City also has resource mining areas, and most of its human and talent resources are buried. It’s just that due to the restrictions of Long Tianding, they have not been effectively utilized. Now is the best opportunity.

"I agree."

Xie Qingyan and Tang Shuang echoed.

"I don't have any objection, but there is one issue that needs to be clarified in advance."

Qi Kang tapped the table with his fingers. "How will the jurisdiction of Sin City be handled in the future? I think everyone will naturally disagree with the "Dragon City" system. Will we manage it separately in the future? Or will the City Hall act as an agent? Including those remaining gangs of all sizes... We can't keep it hanging forever."

"That's easy."

Xu Shi smiled and pressed his hand. "Although Dragon City has collapsed, it still has several relatively influential gangs under its command, such as White Iron, Long Knife Gang, Spark, etc. It would be better to let them continue to manage it. This way, we can avoid the disputes and consumption that may arise from large-scale personnel changes. We and the City Hall can exercise supervision rights."

"Don't worry about a new 'Dragon City' appearing over time... After all, from now on, you will all gradually develop towards Sin City. Sooner or later, the two sides will merge together. It's just a matter of time."

This was the best way to deal with it, at least for him.

There was absolutely no fault with what Xu Shi said, but of the only three remaining gangs, two were secretly controlled by him. Xie Qingyan could take a little bit, but the impact would not be too great.

In other words, from then on, Sin City remained his sphere of influence.

Everyone else is well aware of this. Even if they don't know his relationship with "Starfire", his relationship with the "Long Knife Party" is well known. In this situation, anyone would choose to do the same.

But no one had any objection. First, the "Snake Ring" was already superior to the other companies, and second, such an operation was within the acceptable range - the "Prism" had a "Stainless Steel" to drive, and the "Feather Pen" was more concerned about people's livelihood issues, so this kind of power struggle had to be put on the back burner.

The only one who might have an opinion was "Imaginary Numbers", especially Uncle Qi, who was really a little sad. After all, the "Long Knife Gang" was considered our family before... At that time, it was robbed by Xu Shi and we thought it was not a big deal, but now it's back...

Fortunately, Qi Kang is a man who knows how to adapt to the times. They don't have much say at this table, and they have already gained a lot, so there is no need to touch this bad luck again. They can still move in and develop in the future.

It's because we are not as good as others, so we have to accept it.

"In that case, then pass it?"

The goal was achieved, so Xu Shi didn't waste any more time talking and moved on to the next topic, "By the way, Uncle Qi, regarding the matter of the "Forgotten", "Imaginary Numbers" should have already started to take care of it, right?"

"Of course. Maoyang didn't come today because I asked him to work overtime."

Qi Kang adjusted his mentality, sighed and responded.

The so-called handling of the matter does not mean giving an explanation to the ordinary people or anything like that. The matter was originally caused by the "forgotten ones", and it is a foregone conclusion that cannot be avoided.

But proper guidance is still necessary - it was the grand and upright financial groups that saw through the conspiracy of this group of despicable outsiders in time and were able to turn the tide and save the collapsing empire.

In fact, if he didn't think it was too troublesome, he would have wanted to expand the riots.

This is a very enduring method of mending pots in the art of thick black - if there is a small hole in the pot, the repairman will secretly make two more cracks. Only in this way can he collect more money and maximize his profits.

The same is true here. The more trouble the "Forgotten" make, the greater the influence of the consortium will be when it comes to power. Coupled with the publicity that has been laid before, it will be difficult for this group to turn things around in the future.

Everyone reached a consensus on this point, and immediately discussed and worked out specific bills and regulations, which completely turned the "forgotten ones" into second-class citizens, and placed very strict restrictions on their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and various rights.

"Look now, we were a little too lenient with them before, weren't we?"

Xie Qingyan gave his suggestions while joking with a smile.

"That's right. They are the descendants of exiled criminals. We can't let them come back to pollute the good environment of Night Crime City again."

At that time, the wife followed her husband's lead and supported her.

Anyway, no one at this table would have any sympathy for the "Forgotten", and everyone was eager to do this - they could get the resources they controlled without having to pay any corresponding price, wouldn't that be great?

Even Song Chen, the leader of the "Forgotten", was no exception. The fact was that the old man was quite supportive of this. Anyway, his direct lineage was not within the scope of the sanctions. This was a condition that had been discussed early on. As for Shen Qin and Zhao Yuan's followers? Let them die.

At this point, the meeting has basically come to an end.

There is only one last thing left.

"Yue Zhizheng's crime is unforgivable, but the City Hall also needs someone to take charge."

Xu Shi said calmly, "As for who will be the new governor, everyone should have a choice on this point?"

"What are you talking about? Isn't the new governor sitting here?"

Qi Kang glanced at Tang Shuang.

Everyone knows this tacitly. The fact is that Tang Shuang is definitely the most suitable one. Not only are the people in the consortium relatively satisfied with her, but based on her previous deeds, her public opinion polls have also remained high.

So no one objected to this, otherwise why would she be allowed to attend the meeting? This was enough to show the attitude.

But the necessary process still had to be followed, so everyone present raised their hands and voted seriously. Sometimes they even tried to make a show of it and gave their votes against it seriously.

That's about it.

"...Thank you for your kindness."

Tang Shuang was a little embarrassed by this. She rarely participated in such things. Seeing it with her own eyes always made her feel so childish...

"Since everyone has given me this opportunity, I will live up to everyone's expectations and work with you to make Night Sin City better and better."

When she said this, her eyes never left Xu Shi, and she looked like she wanted to eat him.

Xu Shi turned a blind eye to this and childishly did not applaud her like others did.

Not thanking me is fine, but you're being mean to me? Tang, that's enough.

By the way, Xingchuan also took over the position of Director of the Inspection Bureau. Since then, Xu Shi has fulfilled all the promises he had made.

"It seems there is nothing else? Then let's adjourn the meeting."

He stood up and straightened his clothes, acting like a big boss - but there was no need to be so solemn. No matter what he said, or whether he chose this or that, it would not change the fact that he was the one who finally landed the hammer.

"If the master saw you like this, he would definitely be very happy."

Leaving the venue, Su Lin beside him sighed sincerely.

Who could have thought that in less than a year, the young master who was once hopeless would reach his current position?

"What about you, are you happy?"

Xu Shi smiled and teased.

"I...should be happy, right?"

"What do you mean by should? Happy is happy, unhappy is unhappy."

"Then you think I'm unhappy."

Su Lin replied unhappily.

"Coincidentally, I'm not very happy either."

Xu Shi grinned, "Or rather, I'm not happy enough."

"Ok?"

"Because there are still people waiting for me to settle accounts."

Xu Shi stretched and said, "Let's go, accompany me to meet some old friends."

Severely humiliating the protagonist, this is what the villain likes most, isn't it?

When he thought of this, his palms felt a little itchy.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 176 Xu Shi fermented bean curd, come out!

At this time, fermented bean curd comes out!

If you count carefully, Xu Shi actually had quite a lot of fermented bean curd - except for Yue Chizheng who needed to go through the normal process for interrogation, Xie Qingyan specifically asked for He Yuzhao, and all the other masterminds of the riot were brought to the "Snake Ring" cell by him.

Now is the time to pick the green garlic one by one.

Xu Shi did not call anyone else, but took Su Lin back to the company, changed "Yujing" to gun mode, and removed several bullets.

The person imprisoned in the first cell was Lin Wenhua.

It is natural that a prisoner would not have a very glorious life. The old Lin, who used to be known as the old but strong one, is now as pale as an ashes, with disheveled clothes and hair, and kneeling on the ground with cloudy eyes.

"Tsk tsk tsk, today is not Chinese New Year, I have no New Year's money for you, hurry up and get up."

Xu Shi poked him with his cane, "It's not good if people see it...they will say I'm abusing the company's senior colleagues."

"...You are still so hypocritical now, is it interesting? Director Xu?"

Lin Wenhua didn't move. He just straightened his back and stared at him as hard as he could, trying to regain some momentum.

It was a pity that he couldn't resist when Xu Shi glared back at him, so he sniffed and shrank back.

"Interesting."

Xu Shi squatted in front of him and said seriously, "This is my evil taste. Especially since the one I'm dealing with is an old man like you, it's hard not to be unhappy."

"I have good news for you. Just an hour ago, everyone has made a very detailed distribution of your property. We, the Snake Ring, will take the lion's share. Elder Lin should have no objection, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wenhua just smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

After all, he was an old man, and he knew very well that the winners were the kings and the losers were the bandits. What could be changed by just arguing? Nothing could be changed. If he answered the little bastard's words, he would only be humiliated more miserably. It would be better to remain silent and let him play by himself.

But no matter what he said, he was not very calm... There are very few people who can face death calmly, not to mention that he was worried and frightened from yesterday until now.

It's not only because of Xu Shi, Ning Wei is also responsible.

As a person who was captured by the other side, that was also the first time he witnessed Ning Wei's skills - he killed all of his most elite guards in less than 20 seconds, and when he came to his senses, he had been picked up by him like a chicken. It was hard not to be scared.

In many cases, being low-key and being incompetent cannot be equated.

But I have to say that the old man's silence tactics really worked. Xu Shi talked for a long time and got no response, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

"You don't want to talk to me anymore? You're so boring."

He spread his hands helplessly, "Then let's move on to the part of last words. Do you have anything to say? Warm reminder, you can also scold me."

Lin Wenhua kept silent.

"Really? If you don't tell me, there will be no chance in the future, right?"
