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

In her view, betting on "Shark Tooth," which is about to undergo a major overhaul, is naturally a wiser choice.

But who knew that such a thing would happen before we could even celebrate for a few days... It would be difficult to suppress a large-scale medical incident, let alone a high-profile unmanned hospital project.

If not handled properly, much of the effort put in over the years could be ruined.

"Black Rabbit..."

Xie Qingyan murmured the name, marveling at the other party's abilities.

However, she had no intention of winning him over; all she wanted to do now was capture him and skin him alive.

Fortunately, Prism reacted in time and prevented the impact from escalating further, which is a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.

I just hope that nothing more goes wrong at this critical juncture... but I doubt it will.

However, despite saying that, Xie Qingyan still felt a little uneasy.

-

District 15.

Just as Xie Qingyan was caught up in the unexpected situation at the deserted hospital, He Yuzhao, the eldest son of "Shark Tooth," was participating in a press conference.

Today marks the opening of a new research institute for "Shark Tooth"—after receiving some technical support from "Prism," Boss He immediately began research on new weapon chips.

At this very moment, he stands confidently under the spotlight, sharing his vision for the future with the guests.

There's no way I can't be high-spirited.

All I can say is that Xie Qingyan is a truly capable partner; he never expected that the other party would actually find an opportunity to target He Yuqiang.

In this way, the position of heir is secure, since the second son has no interest in this matter... but the things that need to be done still need to be done.

He himself was also somewhat distracted, Xie Qingyan's beautiful image lingering in his mind.

That woman was truly beautiful and elegant, and very attractive... I don't know what good fortune Xu Shi had in his past life to be able to get engaged to her.

However, he didn't care much. How could someone who could be completely outmaneuvered by the third brother be qualified to be his opponent?

Moreover, he could also tell that Xie Qingyan was quite indifferent to her fiancé, and that the two of them might not, no, there was a high probability that they would not become a couple.

Then he would naturally want to compete for it—although everyone knows that Xie Qingyan is a poisonous rose, it must be said that marriage is often the best way to solidify a cooperative relationship.

He didn't think he was inferior to the other party; it's about mutual restraint.

Unfortunately, Xie Qingyan was just as indifferent to him, rejecting his invitations several times.

Or perhaps she simply didn't have any such plans... but He Yuzhao didn't intend to give up.

No matter what, I can't possibly lose to that good-for-nothing Xu Shi, can I?

Lost in thought, he didn't even notice the sniper rifle pointed at him from the building across the street.

The cold wind blew Xia Wuyou's hair, and the girl meticulously searched for an opportunity.

To be honest, she is actually better at close combat, but less so when it comes to firearms.

But that doesn't mean she's bad at it. As the team leader of the field operations department, she needs to master all aspects of combat skills.

Judging from his expression, Xia Wuyou was clearly much more focused than before.

It must be said that Su Lin's words had a good effect; at least she is now trying to see things from the other person's perspective.

Regardless of right or wrong, regardless of the goal, discard all distractions, and simply follow the instructions.

"Then, I'm really looking forward to it..."

Just as the atmosphere at the press conference reached its climax, the girl pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The bullet whistled through the air, shattering the glass and hitting its target precisely.

"--ah!!!"

By the time He Yuzhao realized what was happening, his face was covered in blood.

The specially made high-explosive shell instantly shattered his right ear, and shrapnel flew all over his body.

"There are assassins! There are assassins!"

The meeting room immediately descended into chaos.

But by the time they realized what was happening, the instigator, Xia Wuyou, had already vanished without a trace.

She was surprised to find that she couldn't help but smile.

Doing these things the way Miss Su Lin does brings a truly wonderful feeling.

It's as if something inside my body... has awakened.

At midnight, I keep my word, Wuhu!

Tomorrow will be chapter 50, so we'll release the character cards at the same time.

Should we start a group chat?

By the way, I'd like to recommend a book, a masterpiece by a top author, already quite long and ready to be devoured: "The World Doesn't Need Succubi for Salvation".

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 50 Would you answer the phone while calling out to someone?

The attack on He Yuzhao caused quite a stir, and the whole of Yecheng was buzzing about it.

This is much more serious than his third brother's situation—of course, not referring to his injuries, but because he was in the media spotlight when it happened.

The reporters, who were just looking for something to photograph, suddenly perked up when they encountered this situation, and their shutters captured his miserable state from every angle.

Within two hours, the incident caused a huge uproar in Night City.

Those in the know who were paying close attention to the situation quickly realized the impact this move would have.

He Jiayuan's position as the heir to "Shark Tooth" is in jeopardy—everyone knows that He Jiayuan is an extremely stubborn conservative who, despite the rapid advancement of technology, still refuses to allow his family's bloodline to be tainted by machinery.

He himself is like that; even now, despite being plagued by illness, he refuses to undergo any organ transplantation, and he treats his children the same way.

In this situation, He Yuqiang's disfigurement is a serious matter—at least his competitiveness has returned to the same level as his third brother, since the two even suffered such similar injuries.

One has no left ear, and the other has no right ear. How strange, how strange!

On the contrary, He Yuxia, the second young lady who had little presence, rose in status smoothly amidst these successive events.

But would He Laoda and He Laosan give up so easily...? Probably not.

The already turbulent waters of "Shark Tooth" seem to have been stirred up even more murky by unseen forces.

……

"So, young master, you're doing this to support the second young lady of 'Shark Tooth'?"

Inside the villa's study, Su Lin looked at Xia Wuyou's "mission completed" message and asked seriously.

"That depends on what she does next."

Xu Shi's answer was ambiguous, or rather, it was only part of what he was considering.

Acquiring "Shark Tooth" is his ultimate goal, and for him, the best stepping stone is still He Laosan.

Because he's my good brother... Haha, just kidding. The truth is, He Yuqiang is definitely the easiest of the three He siblings to control, and I know him very well.

Even if he hadn't been ambushed by Xie Qingyan, Xu Shi would still have targeted He Yuzhao to enhance He Laosan's prestige.

What they are doing now is nothing more than bringing the two brothers back to the same starting line.

Add to that the intrusion into the unmanned hospital, and this combination of moves is enough to give his fiancée a real headache.

Therefore, no matter how conservative He Jiayuan is, he will probably have no choice but to change his attitude.

As for He Yuxia... to be honest, Xu Shi knew almost nothing about her. In the story, she was a character who was extremely marginalized—at least that's what he knew.

The heiress, obsessed with art, is indifferent to everything else, making her a breath of fresh air among the second generation of wealthy heiresses.

It's unclear whether she's hiding her true abilities or if this is just her nature... We'll have to wait and see how things develop.

If she continues to do things her own way, it will save a lot of trouble.

Conversely, he wouldn't mind using the same methods he used on Boss He to deal with her again.

It's always simpler to develop a relationship with He Yuqiang, whom you know well, than to start from scratch with He Yuxia, whose background is unclear.

"Don't rush to contact her, but you must keep a close eye on her movements."

Therefore, Xu Shi instructed, "You personally take care of the food, and pay special attention to Xie Qingyan's side."

"Yes."

Su Lin understood immediately and went to get started.

Xu Shi stretched and went to the basement in a great mood.

"Yo-ho! Awesome!"

As soon as he got closer, he heard Gu Yi cheer.

Miss Black Rabbit was even happier than him—it was clear that she had a strange fondness for this kind of underhanded manipulation.

Successfully paralyzing the unmanned hospital's system also gave her a great sense of accomplishment.

To be honest, if it weren't for Shen He's guidance in the original work, or my own training of her now, who knows what this girl would become in the future.

He might be another troublemaker.

"Why are you so excited?"

Thinking this, Xu Shi revealed a helpless smile.

"Of course!"

Gu Yi scoffed, "The main thing is, do you even know that the system was built by the 'Deep Sea' team, ranked seventh on the hacker leaderboard?"

"Those guys, I've had my eye on them for a long time. *-Polite language-*, they even posted online saying I was unworthy of my reputation. I'll show you bunch of good-for-nothings what it means to be unworthy of your reputation!"

Seeing her beaming with joy, Xu Shi couldn't help but chuckle.

Their ranking wasn't even as high as yours, and you also have a specialized ability, so it's normal for you to win... You'll have plenty of opportunities to take down the top three in the future.
