"Young Master, are you sure you still want to hand over the escort task to her?"

The atmosphere in the restaurant returned to calm, and Su Lin, who had lifted her guard, asked softly.

"What's wrong with handing it over to her?"

Xu Shi smiled and asked, "There is no more suitable person than her." ”

In fact, when he captured Xia Wuwu's inner wavering, he knew that this was stable.

Not to mention the conditions he offered, the other party couldn't refuse at all, and the most important thing was that Xia Wuwu's only weakness had been firmly grasped by him in the palm of his hand.

In such a situation, how could she not be obedient?

But then again, Xia Wuwu's psychological quality is indeed very strong, even if he has been pulled for so long, his first reaction is still not to give in, but to fight with himself.

This was also expected by Xu Shi - he suffered a tragic accident when he was a child, watched his relatives die in front of him, and then had to learn to use his immature shoulders to carry the burden of life alone.

After joining the "Snake Ring", she has also been engaged in dangerous work on the front line of life and death in the field support department...... This kind of experience is really not comparable to Gu Yi's kind of ghost.

Fortunately, he was prepared, and easily defeated her last mental defense with "Evil Thoughts Entropy Increase" and completely controlled the situation.

Otherwise, it's really troublesome...... Xu Shi glanced at the restaurant with broken thoughts, and the people who were still dining were all silent, completely absent, and did not dare to have any opinions on the turmoil just now.

Hey, this is how a normal person should react when facing his villain.

Su Lin didn't think about it in this regard, as she knew that there was too much uncertainty about the ability, and there was no such thing as "because I knew what my ability was, so I was in a hurry to awaken it."

It's mostly a coincidence, and it just plays the icing on the cake.

But she was still very surprised, because she didn't know when Xu Shi knew Xia Wuwu's details well.

Last time, Gu Yi was also ...... I've never seen him say that before!

Is this still the young master who only knows how to spend all day drinking and driving a party?

If she still had doubts before, then after experiencing this incident, she can be completely sure that Xu Shi was hiding before.

"Young Master, how do you know the true identity of Xia Wuwu?"

She still couldn't hold it back, and asked cautiously.

"As a director of the group, isn't it normal to know the situation of the employees under you?"

Of course, Xu Shi didn't answer directly, but calmly drank the tea in front of him.

“…… It's a subordinate who has overlooked. ”

Su Lin paused when she heard this, and then lowered her eyes with some trepidation, "Please also ask the young master to punish her." ”

It can be seen that although she thinks it is a good thing in her heart, Xu Shi's sudden revelation of her wrist still makes her a little uneasy.

The words used to perfunctory her were also regarded by her as a beating on herself, the personnel director.

After all, this should have been her business...... If it really causes a catastrophe, she can't escape it either.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Shi was a little surprised by her reaction, "I don't blame you, you don't have to be like this...... Uh......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

The heart rate instantly rises, the tearing sensation spreads in the mind, and the sounds around me fall into the ears, becoming distorted and blurred.

When he looked at Su Lin again, he suddenly had a strange thought.

Speaking of which, although it is not mentioned in the original book, is she really that trustworthy?

He couldn't be clearer about his original virtues, that kind of gentleman, will anyone really follow him with all his heart?

Does she have anything else in mind, should she also investigate......

Thinking like this, Xu Shi suddenly felt that his thoughts were a little confused, and his breathing became unconsciously short.

"Young Master?"

Su Lin was a little panicked when she saw this, but soon she knew what was going on, and hurriedly took out a medicine bottle and fed him the capsules in it.

The speed of the potion effect was very fast, and in less than a minute, he woke up, and the distracting thoughts in his mind faded like a tidal wave.

"Hoo ......"

Calmed his breath a little, he still had palpitations, "I ...... just now"

"I'm sorry young master, but I didn't think it through."

Su Lin said worriedly, "It should be a complication caused by the ability, because this is your first time, and the reaction is even stronger." ”

"I should have warned you sooner, I'm glad I've always had the inhibitor ......"

“…… It's okay, you have a heart. ”

When I came back to my senses, it turned out to be this.

Knowing the plot, in addition to his own abilities, of course he also knows what the complications are.

Hypochondriasis.

More technically, it is persecution paranoia.

However, the original body didn't care about this at all, and his spicy eye operation that constantly refreshed the lower limit, this complication finally left his subordinates unavailable, and the whole person also fell into a serious madness.

It was one of the key factors that led to his failure.

And the blocker that Su Lin gave herself is a targeted drug used to alleviate the symptoms.

Of course, this thing is only effective for mental illness, and physical illnesses cannot be alleviated by this.

“…… If I'm not mistaken, Su Lin, you should also have a psychogenic complication? ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly became a little curious, "And you are an A-level upgrader, the symptoms should be more serious...... But I don't think I've seen you take your pills? ”

"Yes, after using the ability, I will fall into a state of extreme mania."

Su Lin nodded, not hiding her weakness from him, "But I'm trained, and now I can restrain myself without drugs." ”

Xu Shi was even more curious, "On your own? How do you refrain from it? ”

“…… Listen to songs, soothing songs help calm the mood. ”

Su Lin pointed to the headphones on her left ear, "If the young master is willing, I can also share my experience with you...... However, it will take time, and for now, it's best to take the blocker as soon as you use the ability to avoid unnecessary invasion. ”

"Okay, got it."

Xu Wen took the medicine bottle and sighed with a smile.

There is really no need to doubt her ...... The fact is that Su Lin has been in the Xu family since she was seven years old, and she has been following her conscientiously all these years.

From a domestic servant to a bodyguard, and now to the right-hand man in the group...... Even in the original book, no matter how much Shen He tried to woo her, she still firmly followed herself until she gave her life.

Her loyalty is unquestionable, and it can be said that if even she can't be trusted, there is no one in this world worthy of his trust.

But then again, I really didn't know her well before, and I was just working as a servant.

Thinking of this, Xu Shi secretly rolled his eyes, no wonder the original body was tuled, can this be blamed on others......

"Have you eaten well? Would you like to order another cup of black coffee? ”

Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly, and then looked at this childhood sweetheart with a smile.

Ay?

Hearing this, Su Lin was a little surprised.

Does the young master actually know his preferences?

He'd never said anything like that before...... It really flattered her.

After a brief silence, Su Lin unconsciously smiled.

"Hmm."

"Snake Ring" Heavy Industries, 18:00 pm

Xia Wuwu has always stepped on the point to get off work, and he will not delay for a minute, just like a precision machine.

Today was no exception, except that she looked in a hurry more than usual, as if she was about to flee from here.

However, she has always been a loner on weekdays, so her colleagues in the field support department did not notice anything unusual.

Anxious to take the subway back to his residence, Xia Wufu followed the instructions of "Starfire", turned on the computer, downloaded and launched a game.

"God's Presence"

The high pressure of Night City has left many migrant workers relying on video games as a cheap and effective way to relax.

"Divine Presence" is the most popular MMORPG game nowadays, and more than 100,000 people can be online at any time.

However, Xia Wuwu was not very interested in it, so she simply created a character, and then controlled the character to the agreed place.

In the dim alley, there were already people waiting for her arrival.

[Galaxy: You're here, have you brought what I need?] 】

[ahsiaoshd: Well, the staffing of Operation Tomorrow is ......]

Halfway through the word, Xia Wuwu inevitably got stuck.

She was still a little hesitant in her heart...... However, after a moment of silence, she finally forcibly took her eyes off the inhibitors on the table, and then picked up the note that Xu Shi had given her.

[ahsiaoshd: Three Type IV combat teams, forty TC-II tactical drones, and four heavy trucks for cargo, I personally led the team. 】

When she typed this sentence, Xia Wuwu felt as if her fingers were filled with lead, and each button had to drain the strength of her whole body.

However, the person who connected with her naturally wouldn't know about this.

[Galaxy: ( ́▽')ノGreat! As I expected, the "Snake Ring" did strengthen its defenses...... Thank you so much, otherwise we would have suffered a lot. 】

【ahsiaoshd：…… Well. 】

[Yinhe: I will greet the operatives, and you have to be careful yourself, otherwise I am afraid that you will be in danger...... By the way, after the deed is done, can I treat you to a meal?

Actually, I still miss it, when I was a child, Uncle Xia always sent you to "Tianhe" to play, at that time we didn't have to think about anything, you always grabbed snacks with me to eat......]

[ahsiaoshd: Uh-huh, let's talk about it then, I'm going to take a shower, and you ...... Rest early. 】

After sending this sentence, Xia Wuwu hurriedly got off the line and turned off the screen.

Her haste did not arouse Shen He's suspicions, and immediately after logging out of the game, he hurriedly found the man in the sweatshirt from before.

"The "Snake Ring" has strengthened the staffing, Lao Chen, you have no problem over there, right? Do you want me to transfer Rayson back and ...... with you?"

"No, I can handle this situation."

The man in the sweatshirt named Chen Fang patted his chest and shook his head, "Believe me, Leader Shen, the first battle to overthrow the consortium will be started by me!" ”

“…… Okay, then go for it! ”

Shen He paused, and then punched him hard.

It can be seen that he is very happy now.

However, what he didn't know was that in the rental house, Xia Wuwu fell weakly on the chair, closed his eyes in despair, and tears slipped from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.

Why, why do you bring up those old days......

I'm sorry......

But I ...... There's no going back......
