This sudden attack caused quite a stir.
So not long after, people from all walks of life scattered around the demolition area came one after another to check the situation.
Then, they saw the remnants of the "Forgotten" all over the place, as well as Xu Shi and Tang Shuang standing face to face.
The smoke from the gun in Xu Shi's hand was still there, with a faint smile on his face.
Tang Shuang was a little dazed, trembling and looking slightly pale.
And not far behind her, there was a fresh corpse lying upright - shot between the eyebrows, dead with one shot.
The color of his skin was similar to that of the surrounding environment. As his vital signs disappeared little by little, he returned to normal. It was obvious that he had awakened his chameleon-like ability to upgrade.
This man also had explosives tied to his body. He obviously knew that ordinary methods would not work, so he wanted to use this method to launch a suicide attack so that he and Xu Shi Tang Shuang could die together.
"...Governor Tang?!"
Someone was the first to react, "And this... Chairman Xu?!"
It was easy to tell from their surprised expressions that they had just discovered that these two people were actually here - it was not their fault, it was just that a car from the Inspection Bureau was passing by, which would not attract the attention of these people.
Besides, who would have thought that two people in such high positions would actually conduct inspections in person in such a way?
"Director Xu, are you okay?!"
A young leader on the "Snake Ring" side of the crowd was stunned for a moment, then rushed over quickly, and began to ask for help in a panic, "Are you injured? Do you want to call a doctor for you? It was all an oversight by my subordinates. I didn't expect this. There are still remnants of the "forgotten ones" in the deserted area, please punish, punish..."
He was scared to death!
Just kidding, if Xu Shi really had an accident less than 500 meters away from him, even if his skin was only broken, it would be a disaster for him.
If nothing else, I'm afraid Director Su will be the first to skin him.
"Okay, okay, I have nothing to do."
Xu Shi blew away the smoke from the gun and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Governor Tang and I decided to come to Sui City on a whim, so I didn't want to inform you in advance."
"But you have to be more careful. It's good to immerse yourself in construction, but these remaining hidden dangers must be cleared first, otherwise there will inevitably be trouble, you know?"
"Yes Yes Yes."
Not only "Snake Ring", people from several other consortia also joined in, and at the same time they felt relieved. This man didn't look like he was going to be angry...
"Okay, that's it."
Xu Shi really wasn't in the mood, so he grabbed Tang Shuang and prepared to leave, "Let's go, go and do your business."
"Would you like my subordinates to send someone to escort..."
"roll."
"Hey, okay."
The little leader of "Snake Ring" got out of here, and the others followed suit and dispersed.
Tang Shuang was still a little absent-minded. She didn't respond at all to Xu Shi's action of holding her hand, and was led away by him like a puppet on strings.
Even after returning to the car for a while, she still looked blank.
"Oh, it seems that the director can no longer drive."
Xu Shi shook his head regretfully, took the initiative to get into the driver's seat, and thrust Tang Shuang's water glass into her hand, "I'll drive, can you drink some water?"
"..."
Without saying a word, Tang Shuang took two sips of his drink mechanically. Then he sighed softly as if he had been reactivated.
"Xu Shi..."
She licked her dry lips and stammered a cry.
"What's wrong? Don't worry, my driving skills are still very good."
Xu Shi stared straight ahead and responded with a joke.
"What happened to you just now?"
Director Tang Da held the water glass tightly and asked in a low tone.
"What's going on? You said shooting?"
Xu Shi smiled and said, "It's not like I don't know how to play with guns... Although I can't compare to you professionals who have a professional background and have been trained systematically, my accuracy is still guaranteed."
It's true, it's just one of the hobbies of a playboy. Firearms and mechas are the ultimate romance for men.
He really doesn't just stop at the stage where he can put a gun to someone's head and execute them after everything is settled.
"Non-professional combatants" does not mean that they have no combat effectiveness. These are two different concepts.
However, he is basically surrounded by people to protect him when traveling, and there is basically no need to take action.
"Who asked you this? I mean you just..."
Tang Shuang frowned slightly, and her tone became a little lower.
"How do you think I found the killer? It must be because of the upgraded ability?"
Xu Shi interrupted her again, thought for a moment and replied, "I can also feel some things that are invisible to the naked eye."
"Entropy of evil thoughts" is a spiritual power. In Xianxia terms, it should be called divine consciousness or spiritual thoughts. It is normal to give him such an ability as a gift.
He had prevented Lin Yue's assassination when he had just reached A-, but now that the assassin's little sister's seed has completed the closed loop, he has been completely and stably promoted to A+, and the range he can perceive is even wider.
In this regard, he is better than a professional combatant.
Anyway, he must be better than the one in front of him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but remind him, "Speaking of which, even if you become the governor in the future, you can't be too lax, otherwise you will suffer a loss because of this, which will be bad... …”
"shut up!"
This time it was Tang Shuang's turn to interrupt him, and his tone instantly rose an octave, shocking Xu Shi.
"What I want to say is...Xu Shi, you are such a bastard!"
Then he noticed that there was a rare cry in Tang Shuang's tone, "It's fun to scare people, right?!"
"Who are you trying to scare...what do you mean?"
Xu Shi couldn't help but frown, looked at her and asked.
"When something like this happened, why can you still look so indifferent?"
Tang Shuang glared back angrily, "Do you know how I felt when you pointed the gun at me and said those words to me?!"
She really couldn't help but want to cry.
Judging from her current state, she was really scared this time. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that she was almost attacked by someone, it would be nothing to her.
To be honest, let alone a killer rushing towards her with a bomb, even ten more might not cause any disturbance in her heart - the people in the Inspection Bureau have also been on the tip of a knife, and their psychological quality has been tempered for a long time. .
What she was really afraid of was Xu Shi's actions just now, or some of the bad associations it generated.
Now she has sorted out the cause and effect, but it was too late just now. When Xu Shi pointed a gun at her, she could clearly feel the feeling of extreme despair and fear generated by her subconscious that instantly exploded in her body. Out of breath.
This is what she has been worried about - Tang Shuang knows very well that the differences in concepts between herself and Xu Shi are ultimately obstacles that cannot be overcome, and on this issue, it is difficult for both of them to change each other. At most, they will retreat. One step treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Then there is a question before us. Now that everyone has the same goal, they can get by so well. But think about the worst, what will happen if one day their goals are not consistent?
Tang Shuang was not very willing to think about this issue at first. The current situation was getting better and better. What was the purpose of talking about these depressing topics? Wasn't it the case before? Say something casual and perfunctory like "I can't forgive you if you commit any crime in the future", and then nothing more goes on.
But what happened just now forced her to face the problem again, and even helped her find the answer.
The answer is that she found that the situation was far worse than she imagined, because when facing Xu Shi's gun, her first reaction was not to resist, but she just felt that her mind went blank, as if the sky was falling.
How could this be the case... Tang Shuang asked knowingly in her heart. In fact, she also understood that it was because she had a good impression of Xu Shi, and it was not an ordinary good impression.
Otherwise, she wouldn't force herself to give in, and would try to influence him to change him from time to time, and even find ways to be alone with him - she only does this if she hopes a person can change for the better, otherwise the devil doesn't care about you.
Tang Shuang swore that when they threw cups at each other, she would never have imagined that their relationship would become what it is today, and she didn't want this relationship to change back again.
Therefore, even though she knew that Xu Shi was trying to save her, she still couldn't hold back and vented her concerns in this way.
"...It was an emergency just now, don't think too much."
Seeing her losing her composure, Xu Shi probably guessed what she was thinking and comforted her softly.
It is true that his first actions can easily cause misunderstandings. If he thinks about it from his perspective, he himself may not be much better.
No wonder you look like you've lost your soul, he thought to himself. Thinking about it, Tang Shuang definitely doesn't seem like someone who would be frightened by something like this.
You said this incident caused such a fuss... Just thinking about it made him a little angry. He was originally very happy today, but ended up like this. How can he reason with you?
Damn it, the "Forgotten Ones" deserve to die.
"I, I know, I just lost control for a moment..."
Tang Shuang came back to her senses and responded in a low voice.
"What do you know? You know, I really know you are not like this."
Xu Shi smiled and sighed, "Do you really think I will shoot you?"
"I...do you want to hear the truth?"
Tang Shuang hesitated for a moment and said.
"certainly."
"...The truth is, I really can't be 100 percent sure."
Director Tang Da gritted his teeth and simply said it at this point, "It's the same even now... Why don't you answer my question now?"
"you say."
"If, I mean if, there is any irreconcilable conflict between you and me in the future, what will you do?"
Tang Shuang asked seriously.
"I will... Oops, I can't answer this question for you."
Xu Shi thought for a moment, then shook his head in confusion.
"Why can't you answer?"
Tang Shuang asked reluctantly, "That's it. I can bear it."
"Because, the situation you mentioned will not happen at all, right?"
Xu Shi rolled his eyes at her, "I admit that our views are different, but please think about it carefully. With the current situation, will there really be 'irreconcilable conflicts'?"
"Why not... uh..."
Director Tang Da was about to subconsciously refute, but suddenly realized that Xu Shi was right.
What she had been worried about before was that one day their goals would become inconsistent, but the problem was that the current goal seemed to be the final goal...
There is nothing bigger than the goal of "making Night Sin City stable and prosperous". Anyway, she can't think of any other big right or wrong. So if you want to say that the disagreement is because Xu Shi wants to overthrow the stability he has built with his own hands. and prosperity, or is she determined to turn the city into a mess?
It seems that none of them are possible...
Ah this...
"Furthermore, to take a step back, even if we have disagreements in the future, are we really going to allow them to develop to an irreconcilable stage?"
Seeing that she had realized something, Xu Shi continued to persuade, "You are not someone like Long Tianding, Shen Qin, and Lin Wenhua, which means there will always be room between us."
"The fact that you have made concessions and compromises to me more than once is the best evidence... Then why can't you think that I won't treat you in the same way?"
"What you said... seems to make sense."
Tang Shuang rubbed her nose. She didn't object to this statement, and was this a promise he gave?
For a moment, she suddenly felt enlightened - a very important part of her concerns was that she was not sure about Xu Shi's attitude towards her. Would this guy be willing to compromise in order to take care of her own feelings?
She didn't take the initiative to ask, how could she ask about this? It doesn't mean that if you do this, you must ask others to do the same, otherwise it will be a complete act of kidnapping.
But she also ignored a problem - Xu Shihuahua does have a lot of intestines, but she is too frank in this regard. Even if she wants to squeeze her out and poach her, she can tell you straightforwardly. What else can't be done? Open the skylight and speak frankly?
Even if he is like now, he will take the initiative to express his attitude even if you don't ask.
So, you are sulking behind closed doors, right? Anyway, you must be obsessed with the authorities, otherwise why would you have hit a dead end just now while walking...
Thinking of this, she suddenly relaxed a lot and smiled to herself.
Many things are not as complicated as she thought.
"And you said you weren't imagining things."
Xu Shi also burst into laughter when he saw this. It would be best if she could realize this.
Of course, his words are not absolute. The probability of "irreconcilable contradictions" is infinitely close to zero, but it does not mean that it will definitely not occur.
So what should we do if this extremely unlikely event really happens?
Director Xu’s answer is, go directly to the competent department and arrange it for you clearly! Not to mention the useless things you do all day and night, you dared to yell at yourself just now, why do you want to change the world?
snort.
"...Stop the car."
Of course, Tang Shuang didn't know his bad thoughts, but after seeing through it, she was really in a happy mood, and her tone became much lighter.
"What to do?"
Xu Shi blinked and parked the car aside as she asked.
"come over."
Director Tang Da beckoned mysteriously, motioning for him to come closer, "Come here."
"Uh-huh!"
Before Xu Ji could react, she held his face and kissed him hard.
Hiss, yesterday I said I was in good condition, but today I have trouble writing. Did someone steal my literary spirit from me when I took the Chinese test today...
This chapter has been revised for a long time, and even yesterday’s 183 had to be adjusted a little bit after thinking about it, and then I came up with a relatively satisfactory version.
The original idea was that Xu Shi used this incident to deliberately test Tang Shuang and then engage in high-intensity PUA, but after thinking about it, although Xu Dong was bad, he shouldn't be the type who tests the humanity of those close to him, otherwise it would appear that A little annoying...
It's good like this now, it's relaxing, how good it is.
I will go over the following plot again. Today I will update this first, to ensure the quality first and then the quantity.
There are still three updates left for the leader to add, so we will arrange it as soon as possible.
(End of chapter)
