Cousin, You Underestimate Me Too Much

The two women gazed intently at Xu Shi.

They were determined to get to the bottom of this.

"Cousin, we can't waste any time, quickly tell us the specific locations of those gangs!"

"Right, I'll go back and inform Captain Zhang, let him contact the director immediately. Those criminals are done for!"

Xu Shi first wore a bitter smile, then spread her hands and said,

"I don't know the specific locations."

Zhang Naixi: ...

Yang Jingxuan: ...

After talking for so long, you're telling us you don't know the specific locations?

Just knowing a name is useless!

Isn't this taking off your pants just to fart, a redundant effort?

Xu Shi guessed what the two women were thinking and quickly explained,

"Although I don't know, someone else does."

"Who???"

The two women asked simultaneously.

Xu Shi took a sip of coffee.

After setting down her cup, she said,

"My brother, Xu Mo!"

They should have anticipated this.

Yang Jingxuan immediately stood up, wanting to rush out the door straight to Xu Mo's location.

Seeing this, Xu Shi quickly stopped her friend.

"Where are you going?"

"Little Shi, why ask? Of course, it's to find Xu Mo and ask for the locations of the gangs."

"No, no."

Xu Shi shook her head like a rattle drum, refusing to let go of her friend.

Yang Jingxuan was puzzled.

You got the information from Xu Mo,

but you didn't ask him for the specific locations.

I'm going to ask him myself, and yet you're not happy about it.

What's going on?

Yang Jingxuan frowned.

Xu Shi, with a mix of laughter and tears, explained,

"It's not that I don't want you to go, but rushing over like that isn't the right approach. And the method is wrong, Jingxuan, listen to me first."

"If we directly ask my brother about these matters, won't we blow our cover?"

"What I suggest is asking indirectly."

Yang Jingxuan looked surprised and asked for guidance, "How do we ask indirectly?"

Xu Shi was happy to instruct.

"That's a good question!"

"Let me teach you, wait a moment, and find an excuse with my cousin to invite my brother out. My cousin can do this too, just say we're going out for afternoon tea."

"Or invite my brother out to eat, then talk about the five gangs during the tea or meal. Remember, the volume should be just right, so he can hear."

"Once he hears, things will be much easier."

"That's because you can hear my brother's thoughts."

"After that, I don't need to teach you; you can adapt on the spot, anticipating my brother's anticipation. If he feels it's sensitive or uncomfortable in his mind, change the topic. Wait until he's adapted, and then continue."

"This is a gradual process, be gentle. Don't jump straight into the main topic, to have in-depth communication, you need to ease into it, slowly."

The two women were shocked.

Internally, they were blown away.

They hadn't thought of it like this before!!

Today, they really learned something new!

This wasn't their fault.

Zhang Naixi was a newcomer.

Not knowing these tricks was normal.

Yang Jingxuan had been there before,

but when she was alone with Xu Mo,

she felt anxious.

Especially when thinking about Xu Mo,

so she had to focus all her energy on work!

Thus, she hadn't considered the proper usage of hearing Xu Mo's thoughts.

PaPaPa----------------

Soon,

the two women started clapping.

Giving Xu Shi a thumbs up (o￣▽￣)ｄ

"Little Shi, you're amazing, we've learned something."

"Once I make a breakthrough, I must treat you to a big feast!"

Xu Shi waved her hands, acting like it was no big deal.

She urged the two women to go ahead and implement the plan.

About inviting someone,

it was more appropriate for Zhang Naixi to do it.

After all, Xu Mo was her cousin.

Although there wasn't any blood relation,

a cousin is still a cousin.

When there's a problem, you should ask your cousin for help.

One can't just call him cousin for nothing, right?

Thus, next,

under Xu Shi's tactical guidance,

Zhang Naixi dialed Xu Mo's number,

and pressed the speakerphone button,

allowing the other two women to listen.

Soon,

the call was picked up.

"Hey? Cousin, is there something you need?"

Xu Shi waved her little hand, giving Zhang Naixi an encouraging look.

Indicating,

it's your time to shine!

Zhang Naixi picked up the phone and smiled,

"Yes!! Cousin, I've been in Magic City for a long time, you never treat me to a meal. Recently, you got married, so I understood you wanted to spend a few days cozying up with your wife. But now, you should have time to accompany me, right?"

"Sure! What do you want to eat at noon? After lunch, do you have any particular place you want to go? Tell me."

"I've already chosen a restaurant I like."

"Oh, that's great, send me the address later."

"No problem (o´ω`o)و"

After a few more casual chats,

Zhang Naixi ended the call,

her little heart racing faster than ever.

This scene seemed like it had taken her back to the past,

when Xu Mo would take the initiative to invite her out to eat,

to take her out to play.

She was usually the passive one,

which didn't fit Zhang Naixi's usual bold and straightforward personality.

But when dealing with these minor romantic matters,

she was particularly prone to being confused.

This was her first time taking the initiative.

Zhang Naixi (⊙▽⊙"a) was pleasantly surprised to find that there wasn't much difficulty.

"Now, it's your turn to perform!"

Xu Shi looked at the two women, her tone full of encouragement.

Both nodded.

"Evil will eventually be punished!"

"Cousin, rest assured, we will not let you down."

Weng---------Weng---------

The ringtone of Zhang Naixi's phone sounded.

The three women were puzzled.

They all looked at the phone at the same time.

It was Xu Mo calling.

Zhang Naixi didn't hesitate to pick up,

pressing the answer and speakerphone buttons.

"Why is cousin calling me again?"

Xu Shi and Yang Jingxuan were equally curious.

On the other end of the phone,

Xu Mo's slightly embarrassed voice came through,

"Ahem---sorry cousin, about the meal later, my bodyguard will be coming with me."

"Oh, it's that woman named An Youyi, right?"

"Yes."

"Heeheehee----that's no problem, maybe I'll also bring a newly made friend."

"That's even better, bring whoever you like, your cousin is rich, you can't eat him out of house and home."

"You guys know each other."

"What? (⊙_⊙)? Cousin, your voice is too low, can you repeat that?"

"Nevermind, since cousin, you say you're not poor, then I'll eat till I drop."

"Hahaha----what guts. To be clear, even if you burst your stomach, cousin won't go broke, just don't cry from discomfort later."

"Nah, nah----------I won't! Cousin, you're looking down on me."
