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

But if he looked at it from a macro perspective, he had to admit that the other party played the game very well. Although he failed at the last minute, if he hadn't planted the seeds for Dongfang Xiao in advance, the situation would have been unpredictable.

The most important thing is that everything Cheng Gujian did was not for himself, but for others.

In order to pave the way for others, he is willing to endure humiliation and even sacrifice his own life... There are probably not many people in this world who can do such a thing, especially a powerful official like him who can call the wind and rain and give up his enormous wealth and rank at will. Let alone others, Xu Shi doesn't think he can do it.

Even his arrival did not affect his plan - should he say this was blind loyalty? After all, if he died here, the Hualan Empire might miss its only opportunity for rapid reform, but Cheng Gujian still chose to keep his original intention without hesitation.

It is difficult to judge whether this choice is right or wrong, but it is indeed worthy of admiration.

It may be because of this conflict in concepts that he did not have much joy of victory, not to mention that from the perspective of results, this victory can only be said to be a narrow one.

"Don't be so naive. No matter what, you are still the uncrowned king of the Hualan Empire."

The old lady knew what he was thinking, and she blinked and comforted him, "Besides, keeping him is not necessarily a bad thing. Facing an enemy like Heavenly Law, it is definitely not wrong to keep one more SS."

"Maybe this is why Director Wen kept him, isn't it?"

Xu Shi remained silent. The old man's decision was certainly not made on a spur of the moment. He might even have seen through Cheng Gujian's plan earlier than himself.

"Come to think of it, that Saint can also be considered an SS. I'll have to think about it later and see if I can make use of her."

Xia Ke'an's words served as a reminder to him, allowing him to mention it in passing.

"It depends on what you plan to do. I'm not good at this."

The white-haired Lolita pouted. She didn't like people who were "justices". "By the way, what's her current situation?"

"It should be that his consciousness was wiped."

Recalling everything that happened in the "liminal space", Xu Shi replied softly.

When the mental villain is eliminated, it is almost the same as brain death, in other words, it becomes a vegetative state.

This is a mixed bag - the upside is that an empty shell is definitely easier to use, but the downside is that we can't get more information about "heavenly principles" from her, and we can't replicate the scene where a female cadre abandoned by an evil organization suddenly realizes and starts providing intelligence.

"As for the few survivors from the Holy See... we'll have to wait until they wake up to find out the details."

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated. Winning was certainly a good thing, but it was also a fact that there was still a mess to clean up.

Restoring order in the Hualan Empire, using Lu Baiyan's ability to remove the "rust fog", and so on and so forth... It's so annoying, all trouble.

"When will I be able to lay low?"

Boss Xu, who had no ambitions, sighed.

"How old are you and you want to lie down?"

Xia Ke'an nudged him with his head, looking angry at him for not fighting back, "I'm so much older than you, and I've never had such a thought."

"But you've been lying there for ten years."

"That's a physical problem. Do I have a choice?!"

The old lady was so angry that she hit him on the head. What a joke!

Seeing her like this, Xu Shi felt a little relieved and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"…Forget it. I won't bother with a little boy like you."

The white-haired loli wasn't really angry at Xu Shi for not fighting back. On the contrary, she knew that Xu Shi had been working very hard.

"It's better to have a good sleep first. I'm exhausted after this night."

"together?"

Xu Shi returned to his normal state and made an invitation to sleep together with a grin.

"Okay."

Xia Ke'an did not refuse, "I haven't slept with Brother Xu Shi for a long time."

"I'm not sleeping with Brother Xu Shi."

Xu Shi corrected, "I sleep with Xu Shi's father."

The old lady was slightly startled.

This can be considered as a code word between the two. Ever since the identities of father and daughter were exposed, Xia Ke'an in loli form called Xu Shi brother again.

But the title of "Dad" has not been abandoned, so who calls him that?

Who is it? Who is it?

Chapter 303 Don’t come over!

2023-10-29

"Good morning, would you like something to eat, 'Dad'?"

"Why do you have dark circles under your eyes? Did you not get enough rest last night, 'Dad'?"

Early in the morning, Xu Shi, who had just walked out of the room, heard such greetings coming from one after another.

When I looked up, I saw Jiang Chengcheng and Gu Yi standing there like door gods, with playful grins on their faces.

"… eavesdropping, huh?"

Boss Xu, who was originally a little confused, suddenly came to his senses, instantly understood the cause and effect, and said unhappily.

These two rooms are not far from mine...but is the soundproofing of this house so bad?

"Hey, what do you mean by eavesdropping? You can't say that, 'Dad'?"

Xie Qingyan came over at some point and joined in on this feast of weirdness. "It's just the wind blowing into my ears. Eavesdropping is too unpleasant."

I have to say, it would be a waste of talent if these three didn't form a group and debut as a group crosstalk artist.

At least it was a little confusing for a moment. If you didn't know, you would have thought it was some large-scale family reunion scene.

Looking back, I saw that the culprit who caused all this had not woken up yet. He was lying limply on the bed, looking very cute while sleeping.

However, Xu Shi still noticed that the angle at which the corners of the old lady's mouth were raised was not right, and he couldn't help but twitch.

...You are pretending to be asleep, right? You must be pretending to be asleep, right? !

Boss Xu, who saw through all of this, was stunned for a moment, but he was no longer embarrassed.

Why should I be embarrassed? It's not like I was the one calling you daddy all night!

It’s not my problem if others eavesdrop on me. Why is Li Hou shouting so loudly?

"Hmm? What are you doing?"

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a voice interrupted them, "What are you all doing here? Don't you have your own things to do?"

The only one who can bear the pressure from so many girls and serve as Xu Shi's mouthpiece is our Governor-General Tang Shuang.

"You all got up really early."

Xu Shi quickly changed the subject, "Is it because you didn't get enough rest due to the unfamiliar climate?"

"Is it more that you have something on your mind?"

Tang Shuang didn't comment, and pushed aside the others to come in. "Although the war is over, there are still follow-up matters to deal with, right?"

"Didn't you say that you were going to the palace to discuss something with the little queen? Are you ready?"

"...There's no need to be so anxious."

Looking at her serious face, Xu Shi spread his hands and said, "Do you want to have breakfast first?"

The so-called discussion is to further finalize the cooperation between the two lands with the royal family of the Hualan Empire in a formal and official manner.

At least it will be more formal than before. It will have to be published in newspapers and even announced to the world. The matters to be discussed will also be more detailed and specific. In addition to the previous material assistance and infrastructure construction, there will also be a series of other things such as talent exchange, resource exchange, etc.

And all of this required Tang Shuang to be present, especially since she had to show up - she was the nominal supreme ruler of Night Sin City, and she also needed to take this opportunity to appear in the eyes of the subjects of the Hualan Empire.

"It's all up to you."

Tang Shuang shrugged, looking nonchalant, "Of course, if Director Xu doesn't mind, why don't you accompany me to stroll around the streets before leaving and experience the local customs and practices?"

"……OK."

Xu Shi would not refuse, but her words sounded a bit weird...

This is indeed the case. For today's girls, calling Xu Shi "Mr. Xu" itself carries a sarcastic tone.

"Then let's go now."

Governor Tang acted swiftly and decisively. He grabbed Xu Shi and ran away.

Poor Mr. Xu, who was so weak that he couldn't even tie a chicken, could only be forced to leave by her.

As for the others... Sorry, they don't have any plans to come along for the time being.

Of course they can go. If they want to go together, no one can stop them. It just depends on whether they are willing to do so.

The answer is no.

The three of them were all paying attention to Xia Ke'an, who was still dozing on Xu Shi's bed.

"...Xu Bastard is such a big bastard!"

Gu Yi was so angry that her teeth itched, "How could you even harm a child?"

These words were not a criticism of Xu Shi, but rather a ridicule of the old aunt.

After all, she hasn't yet changed her adult form - Miss Black Rabbit has already learned about the whole story between her and Xu Shi from other people.

To be honest, if it was someone else, she wouldn't say anything, but who made her and the white-haired queen not get along well? They were like a pair of bickering lovers.

Now that he saw that the other party had also climbed onto Xu Shi’s bed, it would be a lie to say that he had no reaction.

The key is that her figure is better than hers! She saw it last night, and now she is even more attractive in the dim figure lying on the bed. Not to mention that she is well-proportioned, at least she is curvy.

This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Gu Yi - we agreed to be tablets together, but you secretly betrayed me!

"Yeah yeah."

Jiang Chengcheng responded quietly as always, "Sister An must have suffered a lot. She is so pitiful."

"Let's get her checked out. She's already weak, and I'd be sad if she got sick again."

Xie Qingyan also pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth, and he floated in front of Xia Ke'an.
