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

To be honest, this was completely different from what she had expected.

Of course, she wouldn't be so stupid as to expect that the other party would obey her with just a few words.

But at least it should be a normal negotiation approach, right?

But now, what is this unexpected development?

It's like a couple quarreling and throwing things around... Well, that may not be appropriate, but that's roughly the idea.

"...Chairman Xu, do you know what you are doing?"

Being treated like this, Tang Shuang couldn't help but get angry when he came to his senses, "Can I understand that you were deliberately attacking a public official just now?"

"Don't accuse people casually, Director Tang."

Xu Shi wiped his hands slowly and said, "My hand just slipped...did I hurt you?"

That's definitely not the case.

Not to mention that he had a good sense of proportion, the uniforms of the Inspection Bureau were specially modified, and even a "Red Ant"-level explosion might not be able to hurt her.

"Besides, I should be the one asking this question, right?"

So Xu Shi didn't worry about this at all. He just looked at her and said calmly, "Director Tang, do you know what you are doing?"

"What did you say?"

Tang Shuang was a little confused for a moment, but still stared at him angrily with gritted teeth.

"It seems Director Tang didn't understand what I meant."

Xu Shi shook his head. "Then let me ask it another way... Why do you think I need to equip the transport with heavy weapons? Is it for fun?"

"That's because I knew in advance that someone in Sin City was targeting me, so I had to bring more things to protect myself in an emergency."

“…This is not a reason for your company not to register.”

Tang Shuang paused, still insisting.

“But this is very strange.”

Xu Shi frowned. "Fighting street gangs should be the responsibility of your Inspection Bureau, but why didn't I see any trace of you before or after this incident?"

"Now you come to me and tell me it's against the rules... Can you be any more shameless?"

"I……"

Tang Shuang rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Do you still need my help?"

After all, everyone knows that in the City of Night Sin, the armed configuration of the "Snake Ring" is undoubtedly the best.

Even nearly 80% of the weapons used by the Inspection Bureau are purchased from them.

But within the framework of various institutions, the Inspection Bureau does have the responsibility and obligation to provide assistance to the "Snake Ring" - even if it goes to court, Xu Shi is still in the right.

Ah this...

"Besides, we are not the only ones who destroyed the Birch Plain and District 7, right?"

Xu Shi did not give her a chance to breathe. "After all, Snake Ring is the victim, and Spark is the culprit. Before Director Tang questions us, shouldn't we wipe them out first?"

"Or are you and Starfire in the same boat? Do you have some unspeakable secrets?"

"...Don't say such things casually."

Tang Shuang's hands were shaking with anger.

"I think so anyway."

Xu Shi ignored her and showed her a few pictures. "Director Tang, please take a good look. These are what we seized from Spark... If I remember correctly, the Minghong II rocket launcher and UR-Shuo force field armor also seem to be heavy equipment?"

"..."

"So, my personal suggestion is that Director Tang should do something practical. The wild dogs in Sin City are almost equipped with armor."

Xu Shi sneered and clasped his hands together in a pleading manner, "Instead of staring at the poor, innocent, conscientious company that has been the largest taxpayer in Night City for seven consecutive years, okay?"

"I have to wonder if all the taxes we pay every year are just going to the dogs."

Regarding this point, Tang Shuang actually had nothing to say.

The Inspection Bureau is not a clean government office, and there are indeed many people among its subordinates who take bribes and embezzle money.

However, she herself is absolutely innocent in this regard.

This finally helped her regain some confidence, and she met Xu Shi's gaze head-on, "You have nothing to do with being pitiful and innocent... Are you really that clean?"

"This is defamation. I need a lawyer."

Xu Shi sneered, "Don't say such things casually...show me the evidence."

I am an upright person, no, I am upright, so why should I be afraid of your investigation?

"……okay, I get it."

After a long while, Tang Shuang finally managed to squeeze out a sentence from between her teeth, "It is true that I was rude today. I hope Director Xu will not take it to heart."

"No delivery."

There was no point in chatting that day, and Tang Shuang turned around and left angrily.

She was upset by the complete failure.

To be honest, she had anticipated before coming here that things might be difficult.

But she didn't expect things to turn out like this - after talking for so long, there was no progress at all on what she wanted to do.

Instead, he caught me, scolded me harshly and humiliated me… Who was interrogating whom?

This made Tang Shuang feel extremely humiliated, and he felt even more disgusted with Xu Shi.

You want evidence? Wait!

I just don't believe it. Sooner or later I will deal with you!

The director of the Inspection Bureau has not yet realized that the point he is focusing on seems to have gradually deviated from the center of gravity.

When leaving, Tang Shuang also met Su Lin who was walking towards her.

Her current state also shocked Miss Su Lin.

His cheeks were flushed, his breathing was rapid, and his front was rising and falling violently... My goodness, what on earth did you talk about?

Or, how are you chatting?

How does this look like a negotiation?!

And when she heard what Xu Shi had done, it seemed even more strange.

"Is this really okay, Master?"

She didn't doubt that Xu Shi would be caught by the other party. In the past, she had helped to clean up his affairs, so Tang Shuang couldn't find any handle on him.

But the question is, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, aren’t you afraid of thieves thinking about it?

Now the young master has just officially declared war on Lin Wenhua. If he is really targeted by the Inspection Bureau like a fly, it will definitely not be a good thing.

Xu Shi was not worried about this.

After all, from the very beginning, he had never thought about reasoning with Tang Shuang.

The other party came to call for an explanation. If he really followed her words, he would inevitably fall on her board whether he was defending himself or proving himself.

For such people, all you have to do is take the moral high ground and criticize them harshly.

It's not me who caused all this, but your Inspection Bureau's negligence!

Although I didn't expect them to be of any help to me, it made sense.

After experiencing such an incident, when he really faces "Xinghuo" in the future, can the iron-faced and impartial Director Tang still show leniency to Shen He as he did in the original novel?

I'm afraid she would be eager to capture him and bring him to justice herself, so as to use him as a bargaining chip to challenge me?

(End of this chapter)

23. Chapter 23 I don’t know how to explain it to you, because

23.

"……okay."

Su Lin quickly understood what he meant, but still felt that the young master was a little childish. "But with all due respect, angering a director of the City Hall doesn't seem to be a wise decision."

"It doesn't matter. It makes no difference anyway."

Xu Shi spread his hands. He knew that Tang Shuang looked at him through a filter.

Even if she is treated like an ancestor today, her attitude will not change. Maybe she will even think that she is easy to bully and become even more aggressive?

It would be better to scold her and vent your anger, at least it would be satisfying.

If only one person can enjoy it, it must be me.jpg

Speaking of which, as one of the heroines, Tang Shuang is a remarkable existence.

Although she looks like a young woman, she is actually one year younger than Su Lin and is only 26 this year.

The fact that a woman can become the director of the Inspection Bureau at this age shows her ability.

He usually keeps himself clean and has no scandals.

If I have to give a comprehensive evaluation, perhaps only my fiancée can compare with her.

Just think about it and you will know that it is a very difficult thing to turn such a person into your dog.

However, her position in Xu Shi's heart is not that important.

Tang Shuang himself is a combat-type "Upgrader", and Su Lin and Xia Wuyou are enough for such talents at present.

Therefore, she is the heroine who does not need to be conquered in a hurry - being able to cut off the possibility of her connection with "Spark" and use this chess piece at the right time is more than enough for him.

Tang Shuang is not a fool. She knows that he is watching her, so she will never give him any evidence.

As for the illegal use of weapons, there is no need to consider that at all.

Can the City Hall really turn against the "Snake Ring" just for tens of thousands of credit points?
