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

With this stepping stone, finding other partners won't be difficult.

"Let him rest well; 'Spark' will not forget his contributions."

Taking a deep breath, he made his next move: "Also, give this to Mr. Luo and tell him to crack it as quickly as possible."

"Remember, this must never be known to anyone!"

"Snake Ring" headquarters.

In the afternoon, Su Lin also rushed back from District 15.

"Young Master's judgment was indeed correct. The ones who attacked the factory in District 13 were again from 'Spark'?"

She's gradually gotten used to Xu Shi's prophetic decisions, but she still can't help but be surprised.

However, she was also a little displeased. "So, it was Team Leader Xia who handled it again?"

"She handled it, so wouldn't that make things easier for you?"

Xu Shi found it a little funny. Why do you always get jealous over things like this?

Is this what women call a strange sense of crisis?

No need, really no need.

Besides, to be honest, it was just bad luck on her part. I sent her to guard District 15, so it's not my fault she didn't come.

"...I just don't trust her."

Su Lin unconsciously glanced to the side and quietly changed the subject, "So, what do you plan to do next, young master?"

"Just wait."

Xu Shi fiddled with the pen in his hand, a mocking smile on his face.

"wait?"

"correct."

Xu Shi nodded slightly. "Things have come to this point, and someone is already on the verge of a breakdown. We'll just have to wait for him to come to us."

"Uh, young master, what exactly do you mean..."

Su Lin was a little confused, but before she could finish speaking, the communicator on the table rang.

Xu Shi pressed the caller ID button, and as soon as the call connected, he heard an anxious greeting from the other end.

"Old Xu, I heard you were attacked? Are you alright?"

_(ツ)_/ Here it is!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 29 The fish has been caught, and the bait must be retrieved.

The person who called Xu Shi was He Yuqiang, the youngest son of the director of the "Shark Tooth" Group.

That is, the "Young Master He" who colluded with Shen He before.

Judging from how he addressed Xu Shi, the two seemed to have a good relationship.

Indeed, this was the case. At least for the first twenty-five years of Xu Shi's life, he once regarded the other party as his "best drinking buddy."

It is precisely because of this relationship that, no matter how much he was schemed against in the original work, he rarely suspected He Yuqiang.

Little did he know that from the very beginning, the other party was a vicious wolf lurking beside him.

This made Chairman Xu feel a little disgusted; he was indeed playing the villain.

It hurts, it hurts too much!

Fortunately, the same mistake won't happen again... He composed himself and feigned surprise, "Old He, what did you say? What attack?"

"You do not know?"

He Yuqiang was stunned. He knew that Xu Shi had always been indifferent to the "snake ring" matter, but he did not expect him to be so indifferent.

This is truly a case of not even bothering to pick up a fallen oil bottle!

"Well... never mind, I'll come over and tell you in person later."

But after much thought, he decided to go to "Snake Ring" himself.

He arrived at Xu Shi's office in less than ten minutes.

"Old Xu!"

"Old He!"

The two greeted each other with a warm hug, their relationship was incredibly affectionate.

"What happened? Why did you have to come here in person?"

"Hey, what are you saying? We're buddies, wouldn't it be unreasonable for me not to come?"

He Yuqiang waved his hand and briefly told him what had happened before.

"This is outrageous enough. Your own factory was attacked and you had to tell me, an outsider... Didn't Director Su tell you either?"

He knew Su Lin's abilities, so he couldn't help but find it a bit strange.

"Yes, such a big thing happened, why didn't you report it to me?"

Xu Shi was also very annoyed upon hearing this, and stared at Su Lin with displeasure.

"I... Young Master, you said you had something to do today and didn't need to report the company's situation to you..."

Su Lin was taken aback, then immediately understood, and put on a troubled expression, "That's why I..."

"You dare talk back?!"

Xu Shi was furious. "Useless! What are you good for, huh?"

"It was my dereliction of duty, please punish me, young master."

Su Lin was apprehensive. "However, the security forces are sufficient, and the inspection bureau has also provided assistance. The matter has now been resolved, so young master need not worry."

"...That's alright, I'll teach you a lesson later."

Xu Shi's expression softened a bit, and he turned to look at He Yuqiang, "Look at this... It's all thanks to you, Lao He. The servants were useless, and you've made a fool of yourself."

"No, no, we're brothers, after all."

He Yuqiang was completely relieved and convinced that he was truly unaware of the situation.

After all, his reaction didn't seem fake at all.

"I heard from the reports that it's probably the people from Sin City causing trouble. We'd better be careful lately; those mad dogs are reckless."

He then added a few perfunctory reminders, "I heard you were attacked before, are you alright?"

"What can happen?"

Xu Shi waved his hand dismissively, "A bunch of pigs, what can they possibly do to cause trouble?"

"Even if you do it a hundred times, they still won't be able to take a single hair!"

"...That's right. What's their strength compared to yours, Lao Xu? There's nothing to be afraid of!"

He Yuqiang chimed in, and the two of them burst into laughter.

But Su Lin hesitated, "Um, young master..."

"what happened again?"

"Why don't you talk to Mr. He first, and I'll talk to you later."

"What are you saying? Is Old He an outsider? Just say what you have to say. What kind of behavior is this, stammering like that?"

"...Some things were still lost. In the chaos, ten 'Sea Crane' drones went missing, most likely...they were stolen."

……

……

He Yuqiang could clearly see the embarrassment on Xu Shi's face.

"Are you a piece of trash?! Huh?!"

Chairman Xu's tone instantly rose, "They actually let those ants steal the stuff?!"

"Is this how you do things?! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

"Old Xu, Old Xu, Old Xu!"

Seeing that he was about to throw something at Su Lin, He Yuqiang, acting as a peacemaker, quickly stopped him, saying, "Calm down, calm down, don't be angry!"

But he was also quite surprised.

He came in person for two reasons: firstly, to discuss Xu Shi's attitude, and secondly, to get a feel for the specific situation.

As one of the instigators, he couldn't rest easy until he fully understood the situation... but now it seems he doesn't need to worry about that anymore.

Xu Shi had no suspicions about himself, and Su Lin probably hadn't investigated any of this either.

But another thing made him lose his composure.

Something really went missing? Ten drones?

Didn't "Spark" tell itself that the operation had failed?

He didn't doubt Xu Shi at all; after all, in his view, the other party had no reason to lie to him.

Then the matter becomes clear.

...You little brat, Shen He, you bastard, you dare to lie to me?!

"Calm down? What do you expect me to do to calm down?!"

Xu Shi broke free, loosened his tie, and looked around for a suitable weapon. "I was planning to have a party with you tonight, but how am I supposed to go now... Lao He, you go back first, I'll deal with her after I've finished!"

"...Take care of yourself, I'll be going now."
