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

Thinking of this, he didn't mind adding fuel to the fire. "By the way, let's say hello to the TV station and make sure to make a big news."

It's so pleasurable to watch other people fight each other.

"Yes... hmm?"

Su Lin responded, but then frowned, "Only 138 enemies were killed? I remember that the number scanned by the drone was 140..."

"Shhh."

Xu Shi smiled and gestured for silence, "Just pretend you didn't notice."

It wouldn't hurt him to let one or two people go, but someone had to tell Shen He what exactly happened here.

For example, why did they fail, and at whose hands did Chen Fang die...

He could never be completely at ease unless he completely cut off Xia Wuyou's retreat.

Oh, it’s so tiring to be a villain.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 10: I am so angry and cold. When will the baby boy be able to stand up?

Without the obstruction of "Spark", the escort team successfully arrived at its destination - the "Prism" Industrial Park in District 14.

"Prism".

This company, like Snake Ring, is one of the six major conglomerates and has a firm control over the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

For example, the blocker that Xu Shi had previously taken was their product.

"Hey? Director Xu, are you here in person?"

The person in charge of handing over to them was a petite woman in a white formal dress. Her big round-frame glasses and fluffy curly hair made her look cute and lively.

Ye Shanshan is the personal secretary and bodyguard of the chairman of the Prism Group.

Although he looked a little eccentric, Xu Shi knew very well that beneath the deceptive appearance, the other party's abilities were quite outstanding.

Even in terms of supernatural powers, she is not inferior to Su Lin.

"Is Secretary Ye surprised?"

He politely shook the other person's fingertips and said, "After all, this batch of goods is worth a lot. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to explain it."

"...Well, Director Xu is really thoughtful."

Ye Shanshan was startled when she heard this, and was obviously really surprised. "I will arrange for someone to count it now, and the balance will be remitted after confirmation. Please wait a moment."

The waiting process was a bit long. After all, as Xu Shi said, this was a big order.

The total value of the four vehicles' weapons and equipment is a full 50 million credit points.

It is conceivable how serious the consequences would be if these things were really taken away by "Starfire".

Monetary compensation is a small matter. What’s more important is that in the original book, the robbery of the goods caused the originally close relationship between the two groups to gradually break down, and eventually completely fall apart.

The tiny butterfly flapped its wings and eventually created a hurricane that destroyed the world.

Thinking of this, Xu Shi even felt a little lucky to have survived the disaster.

"Speaking of which, isn't your Director Xie here?"

After calming down silently, Xu Shi started chatting with Ye Shanshan in the lounge. "I heard from Su Lin that she had to be present in person for the delivery of goods in the past."

"That's right, but Mr. Xie has a very important meeting today and can't get away."

Ye Shanshan clasped her hands together apologetically, "Now it's my turn... I hope Mr. Xu will understand."

However, before Xu Shi could say anything else, she suddenly blinked and put on a sly smile.

"Of course, it's also possible that Director Xie guessed that you would come, so he deliberately didn't want to see you, right?"

This is ironic.

"Is this how Prism treats its partners, Secretary Ye?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Lin's face instantly turned cold.

She couldn't stand others treating the young master with such contempt, especially in front of him!

Xu Shi's reaction was rather calm, indicating that she need not worry.

After all, it was not the first day that he knew the attitude of this girl with glasses and her master towards him.

The cooperation between "Snake Ring" and "Prism" has probably existed for nearly a hundred years, and can be traced back to Xu Shi's great-grandfather.

This is mainly due to the complementary nature of the two companies - "Snake Ring" needs the other party's scientific research results in the biological field to enhance its military industrial strength; and many of the precision instruments required by "Prism" can only be manufactured by "Snake Ring".

This also makes their relationship always very good, just like the "refraction" and "Tianhe" back then.

By the time of Xu Shi’s parents’ generation, the honeymoon period had reached its peak.

So, how can we make such a relationship more solid?

Marriage.

As early as when Xu Shi was just born, his father Xu Cheng had already arranged a marriage for him.

The woman is the current leader of "Prism", Xie Qingyan.

Interestingly, his fiancée is also a villain in the original novel.

Unlike his original self who was a brainless playboy, Xie Qingyan's cunning and ruthlessness had left a deep impression on Xu Shi when he read the book.

Xu Shi’s memory of the plot only stayed at the time when his original body was destroyed - at that time, the "Snake Ring" had reached its end, but Xie Qingyan and her "Prism" still dominated the Night City.

Under her design, Shen He and "Xinghuo" were forced into desperate situations more than once.

There was no ambiguous relationship between her and Shen He, so readers jokingly called her "the only woman in the book who focuses on her career."

Compared with such a big villain, it would be an exaggeration to say that the original body was a small boss. It was more like a minion.

I am so angry and cold. When will my baby boy be able to stand up? !

It was precisely this gap that led to the two people, although they had a good relationship when they were young, gradually drifting apart as they grew older.

In Xu Shi’s impression, they had basically been strangers since high school.

It's understandable that a career-oriented woman is like this... He was too lazy to argue with Ye Shanshan. After all, he had a lot of dark history, so what could he do?

For him, the only thing now is to maintain a cooperative relationship with "PRISM", and the focus at this stage does not include marriage issues.

"Speaking of which, has Secretary Ye handled the matter I contacted a few days ago?"

So he didn't continue the topic, but asked about the real business.

"About the ICU?"

Ye Shanshan was startled, then nodded, "You have always had a private ward in District 16, you can come anytime... But forgive me for being so presumptuous, what disease do you have, Mr. Xu?"

In fact, when Xu Shi contacted her, she was a little strange.

How come he lives in the upper house at such a young age... Could it be that he got the infection while flirting with other girls?

"It's not me, it's her."

Xu Shi called Xia Wuyou over, "To be precise, her family is seriously ill and needs the medical technology support of Prism."

"Who is this?"

Ye Shanshan had never seen her before, so she couldn't help but feel curious.

“The outstanding staff of our field department.”

Xu Shi introduced them to her and also told her about the attack on the convoy.

"If it weren't for Team Leader Xia, this batch of goods would not have arrived here safely."

"...I see. So, Team Leader Xia is the biggest contributor, right?"

The girl with glasses was very surprised after hearing this. "Then please rest assured, Team Leader Xia, we will definitely take good care of your family."

After saying that, she shook hands with Xia Wuyou in an exaggerated manner, and it looked like she might even give him a banner.

Xia Wuyou was still a little dazed. If Xu Shi hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten that she had to be polite in return.

As they were talking, the goods outside had already been counted.

"Then I'll take my leave now."

Xu Shi didn't stay long. After receiving the payment, he got up and left.

"Come to think of it, Mr. Xu, you don't seem like someone who would take care of his employees this well."

Ye Shanshan personally saw them off, and before leaving, she didn't forget to say a few words, "I think Team Leader Xia is very beautiful. Oh my, no wonder Director Xie..."

"If you were my employee, I would sew your mouth shut."

Xu Shi interrupted her and gave her an ambiguous sneer before leaving.

Bah, you are so capable!

Ye Shanshan curled her lips and made a face at his back.

When she returned to the office, the communication on her wrist started ringing.

"Is the matter done? Is there any problem with the goods?"

A charming female voice came from the other end of the line.

"It's done, but... the goods are fine, every piece is intact."

Ye Shanshan answered seriously, but her tone seemed unhappy.

"Hmm? Are you sure?"

"Sure……"

“That’s strange.”

Xie Qingyan's tone was a little more doubtful, "I never told him that someone in Sin City was eyeing this batch of goods, because I wanted to take advantage of him... Did he really let him solve it?"

"Yes, Xu Shi just introduced me to one of their action team leaders."
