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

"Hey?"

Hearing what Grandpa Wen said, Xu Shi was unhappy, "Why is there still a grandfather who is so mean?"

"This is not surprising. There are also grandchildren who disregarded their grandfather's health, dragged him thousands of miles away to be used as a tool, and did not even let him say a word after using him."

Wen Shengkui refused to give him any slack and retorted sharply, "You agree, don't you?"

“…How can that be possible?”

Xu Shi lost his temper and curled his lips helplessly.

All I can say is that Mr. Wen is probably one of the few people who can surpass him.

The specific manifestations are that they cannot be defeated no matter how you beat them, they won't listen no matter how you talk them, and there is even blood suppression.

Although I don't want to admit it, but in front of others, I am a real grandson.

How could this be possible? (gritting teeth)

"Isn't this the end?"

Mr. Wen nodded and said, "It's rare to meet an SS-level "Upgrader". Please let me keep you company, Chairman Xu?"

"No, no, no."

Xu Shike couldn't stand his arrogant grandfather's sarcasm, so he quickly agreed, only asking him not to ask any more questions.

Mainly, I haven’t seen you for a year. Why does it feel like your personality has changed?

I always feel that the demeanor of the old chairman of "Feather Pen" has faded a lot, and replaced by that kind of indescribable street-slickness...

Ah!

Xu Shi reacted instantly and his eyes were directed at Gu Yi, the little black rabbit who was observing from the sidelines.

It must be you, right?

Apart from her, there is probably no one else - among the people around him, only Miss Black Rabbit has worked her way up in the slums of Sin City. When she is around, she can still restrain her bad habits, but now that they are apart, she will probably let herself go.

Not to mention Lin Yue, the assassin girl’s personality is completely different from hers, okay?

Not to mention that the relationship between Gu Yi and Wen Shengkui has always been good, and the two of them were even introduced to a master-disciple relationship... It seems a lot more reasonable when you think about it this way. Before, the little black rabbit was able to drag the old man to play games in just a few days. After a long time, I really don't know who is influencing who.

Xu Shi rolled his eyes at her and waited.

Gu Yi didn't dare to say anything and lowered her head guiltily facing her fingers.

Believe me, I really want to learn culture and make progress, but the game is too fun...

Besides, it takes two to tango. How can I get the old man to show interest if he's not interested?

Thinking of this, she felt justified again, and she even puffed out her flat little chest with a bit of pride.

Don't try to pass the buck to me!

"What do you see Xiao Gu doing?"

Mr. Wen was unhappy. "To tell you the truth, if she hadn't said that to me, I might not have come here today, understand?"

It's rare for Boss Xu to have time to stay in Bengbu.

It is hard to say whether the old man was persuaded by Gu Yi. He is not a fool. He has his own judgment and knows that if it is not necessary, he generally will not trouble him to take action.

Not to mention the blood relationship between the two, you don't want to see your only grandson die in a foreign country because he doesn't have your support, right?

So, such remarks are most likely just excuses.

But this attitude is too much. I am your grandson, okay? How come I have no human rights at all?

The only thing missing is ranking behind the dog - oh, that's not right, could it be that Ah Cheng's status is higher than mine?

Tired, destroy it.

The darkened Xu Shi looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, holding back the tears in his eyes, and thought so.

The girls who witnessed all this were holding back their laughter in agony. As I said, Xu Shi’s being humiliated is top-notch fun and it’s so rare to see it once in a while that it’s something that needs to be engraved in your mind, not only can you recall it from time to time but also tell it to your children in the future.

Hey, doge?

"Since you said so, I have no objection."

Xu Shi ignored them, but resisted the urge to destroy the world and reminded the stubborn old man, "But instead of asking me about this kind of thing, why not seek the opinions of the parties involved?"

The so-called person involved is of course not Cheng Gujian, but Dongfang Xiao.

At the very least, the little empress needs to make peace with Cheng Gujian. Leaving Cheng Gujian alive would be tantamount to leaving behind a mess.

"That's what you said."

Wen Shengkui did not object to this statement, so he maneuvered his wheelchair to the other party and said, "So, little girl, what do you mean?"

While saying this, he did not forget to wink at his good grandson, "You boy, don't secretly use your ability to influence her."

Xu Shi was completely speechless. Am I so shameless?

"I...ah no, I..."

Dongfang Xiao had calmed down, but was still a little hesitant. He stammered and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just now, when she was pushed away by Xu Shi, she really wanted to send Cheng Gujian to heaven with one sword.

But now that she knows that everything the other party did was for her, even at the cost of his own life, her thoughts will naturally change.

It would be a lie to say that she was not moved, but he did indeed bring her so many years of shadow. The combination of the two undoubtedly made her feel very conflicted.

This is similar to the mentality of the original family, or when a grown-up child faces strict parents: You may be doing this for my own good, but why can't you use a better way that takes better care of me?

and so.

In the end, she just dropped the sword, closed her eyes and shook her head.

"...I understand him, but I don't want to see him anymore."

The subtext is self-evident. In the end, she still doesn't want the other person to die, but that's all.

"You can rest assured about this."

Wen Shengkui expressed his understanding, "Once things here are resolved, I will take him to Night Crime City."

Dongfang Xiao would have done the same thing even if he didn't need to tell him. After all, he wasn't going to spare Cheng Gujian's life. At least in the eyes of the people of the Hualan Empire, he had to die, otherwise the little empress's own status would be affected.

Of course Xu Shi had no objection. This arrangement could be said to take everyone into consideration. His control over the Hualan Empire remained solid. With his grandfather watching over him, Cheng Gujian would not be able to cause any trouble.

As for Cheng Gujian himself...oh, he lost consciousness due to excessive consumption, so we assume that he agrees.

Anyway, when he wakes up, he will become a girl with a beard... No, when he wakes up, the ship may have arrived at the station, what else can he do?

"That's it?"

Wen Shengkui nodded and said, "You guys take care of the rest. I'm sleepy and need to rest."

He didn't want to get involved in Xu Shi's affairs, and if there was anything else, they could talk about it later.

"Grandpa, walk slowly."

Xu Shi arranged for Lin Yue and Ye Shanshan to take him back to his residence, and he did not forget to drag the shattered Cheng Gujian with him.

At this point, everything is finally settled.

The fact is that once Cheng Gujian died, the rebels would not be able to hold on any longer. Not to mention his own cyborg troops, many of them had already been dealt with when Mr. Wen came to the rescue just now.

The sounds of fighting outside the palace had long ceased.

Watching the night gradually fade away, Xu Shi let out a long sigh of relief, turned around to look at Dongfang Xiao and smiled.

"Your Majesty is welcome to take back power."

There is also a subtext to these words, that is, he will not go back on his word on what he promised you, and he does not want to spend all his energy on building and managing this land. From now on, these things are all things that Dongfang Xiao needs to do personally.

All he had to do was to provide help as agreed. Of course, the fact that the little queen was his would not change.

"...Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Even though everyone here knew the inside story to some extent, Dongfang Xiao still said something polite to save face.

After all, she is now an empress with real power. She can’t be as heartless or submissive as before!

Xu Shi didn't say anything else. After giving a brief explanation, he led his men away.

……

"At such a good time, why don't you take the opportunity to do something to the little queen?"

After working all night, everyone was exhausted. The only one who could still maintain sufficient energy was probably Xia Ke'an, who was in charge of the whole process and had stronger mental strength than Xu Shi.

"What do you want me to do to her?"

Xu Shi shook his head. To be honest, he had no such idea at all at the moment.

"I want you to do something to me."

The old lady stood on tiptoe without any hesitation and kissed him in her Lolita form, "After all, you have done something earth-shattering. Even if you are unhappy, I will make you happy."

"I'd enjoy spanking you."

Xu Shi joked and let her lean on his arms as usual.

"This is the only thing on Brother Xu Shi's mind."

The white-haired loli rolled her eyes at him and changed the subject without leaving a trace, "Come to think of it, even if Director Wen doesn't protect you, you won't kill Cheng Gujian, right?"

"Why do you think so?"

Xu Shi raised his eyebrows, "I wish he would die soon."

"lie."

Xia Ke'an raised his head with interest, "You can fool Wuyou with this, but you can't fool me."

"Is it really okay to praise one and criticize the other? She's your own niece."

Xu Shi poked her head, but did not deny what she said.

Not to mention Dongfang Xiao, his attitude towards Cheng Gujian is actually very complicated.

How should I put it? From a personal point of view, he really wanted to grind him to ashes. Using him was a small matter. The key point was that this guy actually planned to drag him down with him. This was intolerable.

He is a very vengeful person.
