It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains? - Page 404

Tang Shuang said as she methodically processed the ingredients, her tone becoming more serious, "The situation...is not very good."

"Is she stupid too?"

Xu Shi immediately understood and frowned unconsciously.

"almost?"

"I have arranged specific tests. I hope he is just pretending to be stupid and not really losing his memory or becoming autistic."

"hope so."

Xu Shi was not surprised to hear this, as this was something he had expected - "Heaven's Law" must have left a backup plan for every "supervisor", plus they were already observing his every move. Now that Xu Ying was blanked out, as the only breakthrough point, it was normal for He Yuxia to be treated like this.

The only thing you don't have to worry about is that she will resist. Xu Ying's memory was erased artificially, and He Yuxia's abilities had been blocked long ago. The power of Ma Liang's magic brush will not work. If she wants to paint, let her paint. She won't be able to draw anything good.

Boss Xu chopped off the fish head in his hand with a knife. "After all, we haven't missed out on much that we should know. I didn't expect her to know everything about the 'laws of nature'. It would be better if she could confirm it, but it doesn't matter if she doesn't."

"I am a little worried."

Tang Shuang's tone was not without worry. "By doing this, 'Tianli' is obviously trying to block all the channels through which you can obtain their information. It is not a good thing for the enemy to be in the dark while we are in the light..."

When she was the director of the Inspection Bureau, she had been troubled by this situation many times. Although they were well-equipped, the gangs in Sin City were all very slippery. Catching them was always the most difficult task.

Now it was time for Xu Shi to reassure her. "It doesn't matter if we lose one or two 'Supervisors'. We can just go to other areas and continue to catch them. If 'Heaven's Law' is really able to wipe them all out, it would be like cutting off one's own arm for them."

"Besides..."

"And what?"

"And don't you think that their doing this is actually a sign of weakness?"

"……Too."

Tang Shuang paused, then nodded without comment. "Tianli" doing this really gave people a feeling of "I'm afraid of you".

If they really still maintain their confidence as the mastermind, they would not be in a hurry to erase all possible traces.

Thinking of this, she felt much better. After all, just like Xu Shi said, they were now taking the initiative, actively trying to explore the bigger world and discover more things of "natural justice". If they could really do that, losing one or two "supervisors" might not be a big deal.

It's hard not to be attracted to such a man, isn't it? Not everyone can possess such personal charm.

"... Let's not talk about that. I called you here today to have a good meal."

She chose not to think about these things for the time being, and instead focused on cooking, "Give me the fish...ah, why did you cut off the fish head?! I want to cook a whole fish for you!"

Hey?

Ah this.

Fish: First of all, I didn't mess with any of you.

……

So in the end, the steamed fish became boiled fish fillets, and the fish head was used to make soup.

"Did you really do it?"

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Did you secretly order takeout when no one was looking?"

"Can't I learn to cook?"

Tang Shuang was unhappy. "Some people say that they disappear without a trace when they go out to play. In more than a year, I have to find some hobbies to pass the time, right?!"

This was the tone of a serious complaining woman, and he didn't want to respond to it.

But Boss Xu was very happy in his heart - the reason why Tang Shuang chose cooking as a hobby was probably because she subconsciously wanted to cook for him.

Her horrible cooking skills were still fresh in people's memory. Governor Tang was so strong-willed that he would certainly not let such a thing become a stain on his life.

I'm afraid that a year ago, it would be difficult for anyone to imagine that the dignified and ruthless Director of the Inspection Bureau would one day give up his career and cook for his sweetheart.

But the atmosphere was still very good. It could be seen that in the year that Xu Shi was away, the relationship between Tang Shuang and Lin Yue, the governor and deputy governor, had become much closer. Not only did they have more common language, but there were also some things that only they knew about, and Xu Shi was unable to get a word in for a while?

As for Shen Qin... although she has only been working in the Governor's Office for one day, she surprisingly gets along well with them?

Boss Xu buried his head in his food, wondering if he was the redundant one.

The dinner ended in this strange atmosphere.

As night fell, Shen Qin gently put down his chopsticks and whispered, "Then I'll go back first. I haven't had time to clean up the dormitory assigned to me by the Governor's Mansion."

Yes, unexpectedly, she did not choose to live in Xu Shi's house, but made such a request to Tang Shuang.

"……Wait a moment."

Tang Shuang thought for a moment, then stopped her and said, "Sister Shen Qin, is it really okay for you to back out here?"

Shen Qin turned around, and there was a hint of trembling in her tone.

"You have been avoiding Xu Shi recently, right?"

Governor Tang said seriously, "Now that we finally have this opportunity to talk it out, are we really going to just walk away?"

This statement is very clear, or who can't see how she feels about Xu Shi?

But recently, the relationship between the two has indeed become much more distant - including her series of actions, which indeed give people a feeling of deliberate avoidance.

"…He's just my brother."

Shen Qin pursed her lips and said so.

But anyone could hear the duplicity in her tone.

Tang Shuang narrowed her eyes, "Okay then, remember to come to work on time tomorrow."

"At the same time, you must also remember what you said today and keep this duty in your heart."

Her tone was a little aggressive, "Otherwise... I won't be polite."

"…What qualifications do you have to be rude to me?"

"Really just a brother?"

Tang Shuang sneered, "Do you dare to say that you don't have any improper thoughts about your brother?"

"That's not your business."

Shen Qin retorted, but this answer said it all.

Tang Shuang narrowed her eyes, "Or... you don't dare?"

"Why am I afraid?!"

Shen Qin was completely furious, but soon deflated, "It's just... my brother doesn't like me."

Watching all this, Xu Shi blinked, as if he just realized that he was the protagonist in their conversation.

But there is nothing that can be done about it - because Shen Qin's identity is very special. After all, the two of them are not real siblings, and her feelings and memories of herself are all false.

In this case, if it's just for fun, then it doesn't matter.

But it would always be a little strange if he were asked to invest real emotions in it like he did with other people.

Also, some people have a lot of beautiful women around them, and they don't have to rely on just one tree, so after all this, it seems that they really don't care much about it.

"...If you can accept Xu Ying, why can't you accept Shen Qin?"

Governor Tang changed the subject and looked at Xu Shi meaningfully.

In her opinion, there is no difference between these two people. They are both beings whose memories have been reshaped, right?

Rebuilding memory means being no different from a new person. The past may not have disappeared, but it does seem insignificant in comparison.

It seems to be true...is that so?

"In short, since there is such an opportunity, I also hope that you can speak out."

Tang Shuang showed off her majesty and said to them seriously, "If you keep being so confused, many things will only get worse."

She continued, "At the very least, you need to think clearly about whether you really want to be siblings for the rest of your lives... or become something else."

Tang Shuang concluded, "Even if it's only for now, let's respond to each other's feelings, how about it?"
