He Yuxia is missing!
Frankly speaking, this was not a trivial matter, but Xu Shi never expected that the first person to talk to him would be Tang Shuang.
It was almost at the same moment. He had just returned from the city of crime, and Director Tang Da arrived at the back. On the contrary, others, such as "Imaginary Number" Qi Maoyang, and Su Lin's insider were a step behind her.
"Okay, okay, He Yuxia is missing."
This made him a little strange, but he still welcomed the other party in, "Director Tang, sit down and talk slowly. It's rare to see you so impatient."
It's rare.
The dignified Inspector General usually behaves calmly. In fact, even now she is not too chaotic, but Xu Shi has a keen insight into people's emotions, so he can clearly feel the anxiety inside her.
"You sit upright."
Tang Shuang frowned slightly, "As if this matter has nothing to do with you."
"What is this nonsense?"
Xu Shi rolled his eyes at her, "Do you think it was me who caused He Yuxia's disappearance? Don't blame me, Director Tang."
"After all, that's my brother's sister, the student of my dearest relatives and friends. I'm so full that I'm going to do that kind of dirty thing?"
The latter makes sense, but the former is pure nonsense. Even if He Yuqiang is really his brother Xu Shi, they are just the siblings of a centipede... but it is still very good to use it as a scene.
"...I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."
Tang Shuang paused and felt that what he said was inappropriate, so he quickly explained, "There is something wrong with my expression... I mean, this matter is also very important to you, right?"
"It seems so?"
Xu Shi blinked, and his expression suddenly turned from gloomy to clear.
Essentially, the disappearance of Miss He Er is not a big deal to him, because not only is this person a marginalized person in the original work, but he is still a marginalized person even in the mess of "Shark Teeth" in reality.
But just because "Shark Teeth" is now in a period of dynasty change, anything related to their family cannot be underestimated. If you think He Yuxia is insignificant, it may not be in the eyes of others.
Many people know that "Snake Ring" is coveting "Shark Teeth", and they may really doubt it on their own heads - could it be that you saw He Jiayuan old and frail and wanted to use this method? Let him express his position in advance?
Although if you think about it carefully, this is unrealistic, there are many more efficient ways than this... If he really wants to do something big, he might as well directly instigate He Laosan to give his father a knife to blast gold coins. It's so direct, why bother? Tie up Miss He Er, who doesn't have a high sense of presence? It has become superfluous.
But as long as similar rumors spread, it will definitely have an impact on him - the six-eyed flying fish is still very scary. He can make Qi Maoyang block everyone's mouths, but he can't block everyone's hearts.
Especially for Wen Shengkui, it is obvious that the old man favors He Yuxia far more than her family. If the ice had not been broken and the relationship had been established, it is hard to say whether "Quill Pen" would have resented him because of this. .
It’s true that we can’t just sit back and watch.
And he also knew that Tang Shuang came to him, which could actually be said to be a return favor. He had given her a lot of conveniences on the chip before. This time, when something like this happened, she came to him as soon as possible, which made him feel relieved. Are there any good precautions?
It's quite a repayment of kindness.
"So, I don't know if you have any idea about this."
Director Tang Da also gradually calmed down, "Or is there something...suspicious?"
"Investigating cases is not my specialty, it is yours."
Xu Shi pinched his chin and said, "Nothing I can think of can do such a thing."
There are only two possible doubts, one is Long Tianding and the other is Xie Qingyan, but it is impossible to break them apart and crush them.
According to Long Tianding, he just came back from him, and the relationship between "Snake Ring" and "Dragon City" will be stable. At this time, he will not do anything to harm himself at this time, unless he goes crazy. .
As for Xie Qingyan, this bitch is very good at making small moves behind the scenes, but the problem is that she, like him, has the boss card in her hand. If she really wants to attack "Shark Teeth", she doesn't need to go to such trouble.
Are there any other possibilities... Thinking about it, there seems to be none. For a while, I really had no idea.
"Your Inspection Bureau must have conducted a search. How is the situation?"
"Nothing."
Tang Shuang shook his head, "If He Yuxia is still in Night City, we don't have to go to such trouble, but we have also been to Sin City, and there is still no trace of her."
In fact, she is the one who is under the most pressure.
It seemed that she and Xu Shi were sitting across from each other and talking, but in fact there was at least two levels of status difference between the two. Once something happened to He Yuxia, she would be the first to be blamed.
So when she came to Xu Shi, in addition to giving him a reminder, she actually also wanted to ask him for advice - anyway, she knew that this guy had a lot of ideas, and he might be able to help her analyze something.
"Don't worry too much, right? Didn't you say that Miss He Er has bodyguards by her side?"
Xu Shi reassured her, "At least her life safety is guaranteed and it won't be so easy for her to get into trouble."
"...Her bodyguard reported this to us."
Director Tang Da gritted his teeth and said, "They said they were following people and then disappeared. They didn't dare to tell Shark Teeth. The leader even begged me again and again not to reveal the matter first." "
"..."
Xu Shiren was dumbfounded and had never been so speechless.
Okay, Jiang Zi is under pressure?
It can only be said that this is human nature. He Jiayuan sent some bodyguards to his daughter, but these people probably won't take it too seriously. Firstly, they don't think she will really encounter any danger. Secondly, He Yuxia has only one person and no right to speak. There is no good status at all, and those who have no future with her... will naturally be neglected.
But if something like this happened, they just couldn't eat and had to walk away.
Xu Shi could even picture those people coming to beg Tang Shuang. They would probably be crying with snot and crying. If it were an ancient setting, there might be two more... It's hard to say. You can't do it in this era. ?
"...Okay, then let me help you look for it together?"
Xu Shi thought for a while and immediately gave the order, asking Su Lin to mobilize some personnel from the field department to work with the Inspection Bureau, and also said hello to Gu Yi. The network security department was also very useful at this time.
He also informed Wen Shengkui, and the old man was indeed very concerned and willing to help.
This is actually quite funny. After notifying so many people, I never thought of notifying the "Shark Teeth" person.
This is not really for the future of those bodyguards. He wants those kind of people to die... The fact is that notifying them may not be useful. Which one of the boss and the third one has ever cared about his relative? Maybe they were eager for something to happen to He Yuxia so that they could make a fuss about it.
"Thank you very much, Chairman Xu."
Seeing that the other party had made these arrangements in an orderly manner, Tang Shuang felt really relaxed and secretly thought that she was right to come to him.
"You owe me a favor."
Xu Shi said bluntly, "I will pay it back to you in the future."
Yes, if you really want to say it, this is his purpose.
Speaking more broadly, if he has the ambition to unite and unify the Night City, all aspects must be taken into consideration. Although the Inspection Bureau is not as important as the six major financial groups, it cannot be an exception.
To put it mildly... It's not a bad thing to have Director Tang, one of the heroines in the original novel, owe him a favor. The more you owe him, the better.
Tang Shuang didn't say anything after hearing this, but her expression became a little weird. She didn't know how to answer this kind of thing when it was revealed in front of her face...
"Of course, with the energy of your Inspection Bureau, no one can be found in the past few days. In fact, it is more likely to be another situation."
Xu Shi continued, he had not forgotten that He Yuxia "went out to collect folk songs" a few days ago, "That means He Yuxia was not in the city at all."
"...You said she might have left the city?"
Tang Shuang suddenly became alarmed, "Isn't it possible? Since the "Forgotten One" incident, several passages outside the city are strictly guarded by the Inspection Bureau, and there are great restrictions on entry and exit..."
"It's not easy to get in, but it's not easy to get out."
Xu Shi shook his head, "All I can say is don't ignore this possibility."
"……you're right."
Director Tang Da thought that this was the truth, "I will go out of the city to look for her myself. If this is the case, then she may really be in danger."
"Then I won't keep you here. Director Tang, please go slowly."
Xu Shi nodded, "No, we should leave quickly."
"I have to run."
Tang Shuang joked and went back. When he reached the door, he stopped and looked back at him.
"Is there anything else?" Xu Shi was curious.
"Chairman Xu, can you... come with me?"
Tang Shuang thought for a while and asked tentatively.
"no!"
Before Xu Shi could answer, Su Lin on the side refused.
She could keep quiet when the young master was talking to others, but how could such a thing be possible?
"Director Tang knows what is going on outside the city better than we do. The young master is not a combatant. Are you responsible for anything that happens?"
Not to mention that she had to answer Xu Shi's question on behalf of Xu Shi. Being able to make such a request without scolding her was considered a well-educated Director of Su University.
"...That's right, my mind is still a little confused."
Tang Shuang thought about it and waved her hand, "Sorry, Director Xu and Director Su don't take it to heart."
"it does not matter."
Xu Shi laughed dumbly, "Let's find the person first and then talk about it. As for the other things... we can wait until you come back."
In fact, if he really wanted to say it, he didn't think it was appropriate for Tang Shuang to run out of the city personally. After all, it didn't seem to be the right thing to do everything personally for the inspection chief.
But it seems like she has always been like this.
If you really want to say it...a good and competent director?
And he could actually realize that when the other party extended such an invitation, he wasn't really asking him to help find someone. Good guy, who am I to do such a thing? It's funny to say it.
Her real purpose is that she wants to have a private chat with herself?
Anyway, Xu Shi can tell that although there has been little contact during this period, Tang Shuang's attitude towards herself seems to be a little better. It is not the kind of kindness that has benefited from previous cooperation, but her whole person in front of him. state.
From the tense situation at the beginning, it gradually calmed down later. She even gave herself small gifts before... and now she wants to whisper?
This made Xu Shi a little strange, because he really didn't have any feelings for Tang Shuang, or even if he did, he didn't have much, and he didn't even plant a seed for her... What factors caused her attitude towards him to change again and again? Change?
Well, it must be my charisma.
Some people think so shamelessly.
Besides, if we have a good chat with her when she comes back, won’t we know everything? ——
The words are divided into two parts.
While feeling a little confused for a while, Shen He, who was dormant at the temporary residence of the "Forgotten Ones" outside the city, also had the same idea.
how to say?
Since this period of time, his condition has improved a lot after recuperating here, and his position is not as embarrassing as it was at the beginning.
At least Li Tang, Shen Qin's subordinate, is very respectful towards him now - this is a sign that his "united will" ability is gradually recovering. Not only Li Tang, but also the entire branch of his sister who stayed outside the city. He also managed to get in touch with some people including Song Chen and Zhao Yuan, and established relationships with them all.
As for his sister, the two naturally kept in touch, and the other party also told him that they had found some beings who could contact and unite with them.
All in all, everything is going in the right direction.
But having said that, even so, he still didn't feel that he had enough strength to defeat Xu Shi.
At least now he is much more awake, and he can see the obvious gap - the "Forgotten"'s highly skilled talents may not be noticed by the opponent, but he is still dealing with these left-behind people.
Although I hate to admit it, it's really not the same level.
But he still couldn't swallow this breath. The scene of being humiliated by the other party was still vivid in his mind.
Do you really want to stay here for the rest of your life, or return to the City of Night Sin as an ordinary person under jurisdiction in the future? He couldn't accept it at all.
But what else can he do... At least he can't think of anything right now.
Distraught, he went to the station to relax and change his mind.
That's when.
Chen He saw the foot of the mine not far away, and it seemed that there was an out of place scenery.
Um?
After taking a closer look at him, he realized that this was actually a person?
She is still a girl wearing a light yellow dress.
The other person seemed to have lost consciousness and passed out on the ground. The backpack next to him was also opened, and the photography and painting equipment inside was spilled on the floor.
Ah this?
This designation is no longer the "forgotten", I'm afraid they are people from the City of Night Sin...
Shen He thought for a while, but took the other party back to the station, settled him down and found someone to check the situation.
It's not too bad. The reason why I fainted was because of the influence of "rust fog" - the content of "rust fog" outside the city is not something that people in the city can withstand. It is similar to drunk oxygen. Without protection measures, this situation can easily occur. Fortunately, the symptoms are mild and can be suppressed with some medicine.
Under his care, within a few hours, the other party gradually woke up.
"Um...where is this?"
