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

Xu Shi wanted to laugh when he saw this, so he changed the subject and said, "Let others do this kind of trivial matter. I have a more important task for you."

"Hey? What is it?"

Su Lin looked up suddenly, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"I heard something was not right about what he said just now. Can you help me check and see if he really opened Impart behind my back?"

Su Lin: “?”

Is this the point you are most concerned about?

Chapter 100 It’s you again, Armor Man!

A few days later, a guest came to Xu Shi's office.

"Chairman Xu, the final payment for the inspection bureau's purchase of chips has been remitted. Please check it carefully."

Tang Shuang sat opposite Xu Shi and handed him a gift box. "Also, this is a small thank-you gift to show the Inspection Bureau's gratitude to you."

"You asked me out a few days ago, was it just for this?"

Xu Shi took the gift box and couldn't help but jokingly said, "Why does Director Tang need to come here in person for such a small matter?"

"I still think it would be better if I came in person."

Tang Shuang smiled from the bottom of his heart, which was obviously not just a polite gesture.

Because Xu Shi's promise at the cocktail party was not false, the Inspection Bureau did get the first batch of chips. Even "Shark Tooth", which in her eyes had always been on good terms with "Snake Ring", was ranked behind them this time and only received the goods a few days ago.

The price was the same as what was said at the beginning, a preferential price... After a little inquiry, she found out that the chips sold to them were nearly 10% cheaper than those sold to other companies.

This will undoubtedly enhance the strength of the Inspection Bureau while also alleviating budget pressure to a certain extent. How could Director Tang not be happy?

As a result, her impression of Xu Shi improved a lot - let's be honest, the promises made at the cocktail party were not written in black and white, so they didn't necessarily have to be fulfilled in full, and they didn't even have to be written in black and white, right?

But Xu Shi still did it. This guy is quite trustworthy... Tang Shuang couldn't help but sigh. Thinking about it this way, the real Xu Shi and the person in his imagination did overlap to some extent.

By the way, he was wearing the same white suit with gold thread that day, which looked pretty good... Do you want to stay here for a while? So that you can accumulate more materials?

She didn't even realize that her mentality had changed a lot imperceptibly.

"It's just a normal transaction. Director Tang is too polite."

Xu Shi didn't know what weird things she was thinking, but he just wanted to talk to her.

"Since Director Tang is here, I would like to ask, as a professional fighter, can you give some feedback or suggestions on this chip?"

“…Maybe we need to observe for a while.”

Tang Shuang organized her words carefully before answering, "The simulation test was very effective and there were no side effects. However, we haven't collected enough practical samples, so it can only be used as a reference."

That's true. After all, the main purpose of the Inspection Bureau purchasing chips is to handle major cases. They are also used in daily patrols and police dispatch, but such matters cannot bring out the full effectiveness of the chips. Opening up the chips at full power is like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito, right?

"Besides, Chairman Xu actually asked the wrong person."

She smiled and took a sip of tea, then continued, "I haven't experienced it myself. If necessary, I can find some operators who have used the chip and write a report for you?"

"Twins" has no effect on an A-level "Upgrader" like her, not to mention that she hasn't even modified her brain computer.

But even so, it can be seen that she is sincerely thinking about Xu Shi.

"Thank you very much if you can."

Xu Shi returned the smile and raised her hand, "With Director Tang's ability, it is enough to combat criminal activities without the chip."

"It's just that you can't use it, which sounds quite regrettable... But don't worry too much, there will be an upgraded version in the future."

"Really?"

Tang Shuang was stunned. She could tell that this meant "there will be a next time", which was a signal given in advance.

However, she couldn't help but test Xu Shi's intentions, "Then...will the future upgraded versions be the same as this one?"

What she asked about was, of course, the treatment that the Inspection Bureau could enjoy.

"Well...it depends on the situation."

Xu Shi's answer was ambiguous, "Once or twice is fine, but if it's more than that, I won't be able to do it. Is that understandable?"

Director Tang thought so too, that one cannot always count on others to do things for him... But just as he was about to nod, he heard Xu Shi speak again.

"Of course, if Director Tang is willing to adopt my previous suggestion, then it doesn't matter how many times it is."

"..."

After realizing what he meant, Tang Shuang chose to give him a reproachful look.

So you didn't listen to what I said that day?

It is true that her impression of Xu Shi has changed, but she can still vividly remember the scene where he personally defeated Lei Song on the day of the press conference. To be honest, even she was shocked by the ruthlessness in Xu Shi's eyes at that moment. She also understood subconsciously that this guy has always had a restless spirit in his bones.

What is it like to always want her to open the back door? Those who understand will understand.

But can you agree to this? No, we must insist on what we should insist on.

However, she would not bring this up at this critical moment. Firstly, Xu Shi had not really committed any crime, and secondly, the Inspection Bureau and the "Snake Ring" were in a honeymoon period, and bringing it up would only make things awkward.

Furthermore, because of the unspeakable little secret in her heart, she also had her own selfish motives - instead of rejecting him forcefully, wouldn't it be better to influence him subtly if possible?

Director Tang, who is one year older than Xu Shi, showed some elder sister qualities when facing Xu Shi.

If he could be transformed into what he wants him to be, it would be a good thing both publicly and privately.

"...Haha, it's just a joke."

Noticing her look, Xu Shi smiled and raised his hands in surrender, "I have always been law-abiding."

"Humph……"

Tang Shuang curled her lips, revealing a bit of dissatisfaction. "It's already annoying just for you to say it out loud. I don't believe you. You can't do this..."

However, just as she was organizing her words and planning to give a subtle reminder.

The communication on my wrist suddenly rang rapidly.

"Chief, this is an emergency!"

After the call was connected, the anxious voice of the adjutant lady came out, "Warehouse area in District 14, rioters are attacking!"

"?!"

Tang Shuang immediately became alert, and without caring about anything else, she stood up and prepared to leave, "I'm sorry, Chairman Xu, I have to leave first because of some emergencies."

"Oh? What happened?"

Hearing her say this, Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, "Are you in a hurry? I asked if we could have lunch together..."

Tang Shuang didn't have the energy to think about it anymore. "Let's talk about it later. When we're done, I'll treat you."

"Then, do you need some help from the Snake Ring?"

"No, I can handle it!"

Looking at her hurried back, Xu Shi smiled helplessly.

This is the third time. When will she be able to walk out of here in a normal manner?

Maybe it's time for me to stop treating her as a tool?

I casually opened the gift box and found a set of beautiful cups inside.

It was the same item that he had smashed at her feet during their first confrontation.

Ah, is this her way of apologizing for her disrespect at that time...

If this was prepared by Director Tang herself, then based on her normal salary level, it would probably be painful for her to bear the cost.

Xu Shi blinked, and suddenly felt a rare sense of guilt.

……

By the time Tang Shuang arrived at the crime scene, the fighting was already in full swing.

The situation is similar to the last time the "Snake Ring" factory warehouse was attacked, except that this time the victim is "Shark Tooth".

A group of insurgents attacked here without warning, and are now in a fierce standoff with the Inspection Bureau and the "Shark Tooth" combat team.

"how is the situation?"

Tang Shuang rushed here, got out of the car and asked hurriedly.

"Reporting to the Director, the situation is not bad."

The adjutant replied, "They had a strong firepower at the beginning. Some of the rioters were "Upgraders" with special abilities. Some of them were equipped with enhanced chips. Their abilities were around B-level, so they had the upper hand for a short time."

"But their tactical level is average, and our people are also equipped with chips, so we have basically suppressed them now."

"That's good."

Tang Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help asking, "Just our people? What about Shark Tooth's own security?"

"Uh... they haven't installed the chip yet, and their casualties are worse than ours."

The adjutant paused, "Oh, this is where Shark Tooth stores the Twins. I'm afraid it's no coincidence that the rioters chose to attack here."

"..."

Director Tang's mind raced, and he quickly figured out the cause and effect.

Whether it is the "Snake Ring" or the "Prism", there will definitely be restrictions on Sin City in this regard. If gang members want to obtain the "Twins", they can only resort to some unconventional means.

And "Shark Tooth" is indeed a suitable candidate, and the things are neatly parked in the warehouse... She was just chatting about it with Xu Shi.

The profits involved are enough for these thugs to take risks.

Although other possibilities are not ruled out, this is undoubtedly the most likely reason.

But no matter what, the most important thing is to bring this group of people to justice first. After committing such a crime, it is enough to kill them on the spot.

So she picked up a kinetic sniper, aimed, and shot.

boom. boom. boom.
