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

Hearing the playful noises coming from the back seat, Su Lin, the driver, sighed inwardly.

Well... I always felt that the young master had grown up very quickly, and his ability to manipulate people was also perfect.

He's really mastered the art of using both the stick and the carrot.

It's not that this is bad; as the head of a top conglomerate, being proficient in these things is a must... but she still felt a little unspeakable.

...Never mind, the young master will grow up eventually.

After silently comforting herself, she reverted to her usual stern and unsmiling demeanor.

"Speaking of which, where are we going?"

Seeing that she couldn't beat that scoundrel Xu, Miss Black Rabbit gave up in frustration, but she also noticed something else.

This isn't the way back to the dorm either.

"We'll find you a different place to stay."

Xu Shi straightened his clothes. "You've been exposed to those old guys. The staff dormitory is no longer safe."

"They won't be lenient with you just because you're capable; they'll find ways to make you disappear from this world."

Anyway, those old fogies who hold positions without doing anything don't care about the company's development.

Rather than trying to win him over, it would be better to just kill him. That way, Xu Anbang could be reinstated to his original position, or at least someone else could.

As for why Xu Shi was so certain...

That's because he was also preparing to do something similar.

Chapter 19 Am I not even the only victim?!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

On his way home, Xu Anbang couldn't help but pound the steering wheel to vent his anger.

Lin Wenhua naturally had his own little circle, and as soon as the meeting ended, they gathered together to discuss Xu Shi's matter.

"This situation is really strange today."

Lin Wenhua was still somewhat puzzled, "There was absolutely no warning beforehand, which caught everyone off guard."

"It's probably still because of that bitch Su Lin."

Jiang Fengshan frowned as well, "Xu Shi doesn't seem to have such intentions... but that wretched woman is watching us all day long."

Although she is nominally the company's HR director, in reality, Su Lin is not much different from Xu Shi's personal secretary.

As a loyal follower of the Xu family, she has been the one to defend against them all these years, and they have clashed quite a bit, both openly and secretly.

"You mean, she was the one giving you a heads-up?"

"Most likely, it's because that guy surnamed Xu never cared about these things before."

Jiang Fengshan nodded. "He also inspected the engineering department before. Is that something he would do?"

"You're right... Hmm? He went to the engineering department?"

Lin Wenhua raised an eyebrow. "And the result? How did it go?"

“I was worried it was a trap, so I didn’t meet him in person.”

Jiang Fengshan said, "But according to Chengcheng, he just went through the motions when he came, and he's already gotten through it."

"Your daughter, right?"

Lin Wenhua nodded slightly, seemingly reassured. "That's fine then. But you should still be careful lately, or it will be troublesome if they find any leverage against you."

"I know."

"… Then, what about me?"

Xu Anbang wasn't really interested in listening to their recap. "Old Lin, did I really just let that little girl push me out like that?"

That's what he cares about.

"What else can you do?! It's your own fault for being incompetent!"

Lin Wenhua didn't hold back either, "How many times have I told you, stop thinking about making money all the time. You still have things to do... You can't even handle the petty thugs in Sin City, how can I protect you?"

"but I……"

Do I need to say it again?

Lin Wenhua glanced at him sideways and said.

"……Why."

Xu Anbang obediently shut his mouth.

The truth is that he is not in a high position, and he can't afford to offend either side.

"But... don't worry too much, it's impossible for that little brat to really jump around."

Seeing that he had calmed down, Lin Wenhua patted him on the shoulder, "But it will take some time... Let's wait, this position will be vacant sooner or later, and we'll talk about it then."

"Just take a rest for now, don't rush things."

"...Okay, I'll head back now."

Xu Anbang walked out with a forced smile, but his face fell as soon as he stepped outside.

Because he also knew that Lin Wenhua's promise was nothing but empty talk.

If he truly wanted to protect himself, he wouldn't have made empty promises after the fact.

The previous unwavering support clearly indicated that they had given up on him.

Whatever happens to the technical department in the future, it will have nothing to do with him.

The culprit was naturally Xu Shi... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse.

"You're all a bunch of bastards! Just you wait, you'll all die sooner or later! Damn it!"

Returning to his residence with a belly full of anger, Xu Anbang planned to find something to vent his frustration.

He has never married and used to buy sex dolls from Sin City to vent his frustrations, torturing countless young girls to death over the years.

However, the last one was just ruined and we haven't had time to restock... so let's just find a call girl to make do for now.

Although his career came to an end, he still made quite a bit of money over the years.

The credit points I've accumulated over the years should be enough to live a carefree life for the rest of my days.

however.

The moment he stepped into the room, he saw a person standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Who?"

This startled him, and he quickly drew the pistol from his waist. "What kind of place is this where you dare to come in and steal? You don't want to live anymore..."

Before he could finish speaking, a dagger flew towards him with a whoosh and pierced through his palm.

Not only did it knock the pistol away, it also accurately shattered the chip in the palm of the hand that was used to activate the security system.

"Ahhhh-"

Blood gushed out, and Xu Anbang, in pain, knelt on the ground and cried out.

He understood everything instantly, but he never expected the reckoning to come so quickly.

"Friend, let's discuss this properly."

He was sweating profusely as he yelled, "How much do you earn doing this dirty work? I'll give you double, no, three times! Spare my life, please?"

Upon hearing this, the masked girl in combat gear slowly walked up to him.

"Old Lin means that even if I kill you, all that money will be mine."

"……It's you!"

Upon hearing her voice, Xu Anbang immediately recognized her. "You're also one of Lin Wenhua's people? Holy crap..."

Before he could finish speaking, the other person had already raised his hand.

Xu Anbang felt as if his internal organs were squeezed together, and his eyes bulged out uncontrollably.

Before long, he turned into a puddle of mud.

After finishing all this, Xia Wuyou kept sighing as she cleaned up the traces.

So quickly, he's already making me do dirty things again.

This boss is a real bastard; he won't even take a penny of the blame for the underworld.

-

"You can leave this kind of thing to me."

Xia Wuyou was unwilling to do this kind of thing, but some people were still dissatisfied because of it, saying, "Why hand it over to her..."

"What, are you jealous?"

Seeing Su Lin's serious expression, Xu Shi couldn't help but laugh. "No way, really?"

"...Young Master, please have some self-respect."

Su Lin quickly stepped back. "What I mean is, at least I'm more reliable than her, aren't I?"

"I still feel jealous when I hear this."

Xu Shi shrugged and laughed it off.

To be honest, whether it's Su Lin or Xia Wuyou, it really makes no difference whether you kill a nobody like Xu Anbang.

However, this is just like a simulation game.

The current one's favorability rating is already full, so let's quickly move on to the one that's not full yet.

Anyway, his methods for dealing with Xia Wuyou are still to exert pressure. Once she does more of these things that she used to hate, she will gradually get used to it, right?
