Peach-Orange! – Chapter 487 – How Could Such a Thing….
Special operations squad….
From Special Envoy Qiu’s eyes, Chi Xiaocheng could read the weight this squad carried.
If this was a team trained by Song Liyin, or by that young lady herself, then these people were absolutely not comparable to Chu Lingfeng’s third-rate crew.
Such a special operations tactical squad was an extremely formidable existence, whether in fiction or reality.
Not to mention, these people were ancient martial artists!
Chi Xiaocheng’s heart sank a little.
But after seeing Xiao Hei’s completely unconcerned expression, she suppressed the worry in her heart and instead asked, “Then what is this squad’s objective? To capture me? Or to kill me?”
Special Envoy Qiu shook his head. “Neither.”
“Neither?”
“Mm.” Special Envoy Qiu nodded. “To be precise, it’s to knock you out in front of Miss Su, putting you in a state of passive feigned death, as if you’ve been shot, and then snatch your ‘corpse’ away right in front of her.”
“Huh?”
Her small eyes revealed great confusion.
‘If you said just kill me outright, fine, a sudden attack is unpredictable.’
‘But for an attack, you’re playing these fancy tricks?’
However, the important thing wasn’t this complex and cumbersome process.
It was the deeper meaning behind it. What exactly was it?
The World Will wanting to kill her was undoubtedly true; that young lady seemed to want her alive.
Assuming she knew about her ability to reincarnate, and also knew that she was actually a “transmigrator,” an outsider, and she knew about the existence of the World Will, so she wanted to talk to her before she died?

If that was the case, the starting point made sense.
But why make her feign death in front of Tao-Tao?
Chi Xiaocheng continued to speculate in her mind.
What would happen to Tao-Tao after she died?
She would break down; her character’s weight would undoubtedly decrease significantly.
And what was the deeper meaning of snatching the corpse away in front of her?
To make her feel her own powerlessness, thus accelerating the breakdown?
But there was no benefit in doing that!
The logic completely didn’t add up.
Being a young lady who dropped from the sky, her actions were indeed completely unfathomable.
Chi Xiaocheng rubbed her temples, tired from overthinking, and asked, “What do you think their objective is?”
Special Envoy Qiu scratched his head. “I don’t even understand the relationship between you all, how can I guess their true purpose?”
Chi Xiaocheng rolled her eyes at him. “Then don’t use your brain, just tell me the one you think is most likely.”
“If I must say, because you’re quite cute?”
“Huh?”
Special Envoy Qiu counted on his fingers. “Look, I just told you that the Head Maid and the young lady might be involved with each other. And now, with such actions, perhaps it’s because you’re quite cute and they want to snatch you away from Su Tao?
“Um… driving a wedge between you and Su Tao is to lower your favorability towards her, and then pursue you?”

Listening to Special Envoy Qiu’s analysis, Chi Xiaocheng was dumbfounded.
She had thought of countless possibilities.
This particular possibility was the only one she had never imagined.
Well, if she couldn’t figure out the purpose, there was no need to force it.
What needed to be done now was how to counter this special operations squad’s surprise attack and profit from it.
Chi Xiaocheng let out a breath. “Tell me in detail about that special operations squad’s plan.”
“Alright!”
Special Envoy Qiu was responsible for arranging this matter. To show his loyalty, he also explained everything he knew in great detail.
The head maid was still waiting for him. If he stayed away too long it might make her suspicious. So, after asking Chi Xiaocheng for an antidote to prevent diarrhea, he prepared to leave in a hurry.
However, just before leaving, Chi Xiaocheng called out to Special Envoy Qiu, “Wait, how can I contact you if I need to?”
Special Envoy Qiu shook his head. “Not sure. Wait for me to find a chance to contact you. All my contact methods are monitored.”
“Then wait a moment.”
Chi Xiaocheng quickly entered the system mall to look for items.
Soon, she found a suit tie.
“System, you’re sure things created by emotional value won’t be discovered by the World Will, right?”
【Don’t worry host, definitely not now】
That put Chi Xiaocheng at ease.

Special Envoy Qiu’s undercover skills were strong; she could definitely develop this pawn further.
Thus, Chi Xiaocheng gave him two things.
“This tie is for communication. Wear it when nothing’s happening. If you feel the tie heat up, it means I need to talk to you. Go to a place with no people, straighten the tie and give it a pull. It’s high-tech, no fear of being discovered.”
The second thing she handed over was a watch.
“Same brand as Conan’s watch. It can fire hallucinogenic needles. The needles are poisoned with a slight hypnotic effect. I hope you use this to develop some of your own influence around the head maid.
“Of course, just in case, you also need to take this poison pill.”
Chi Xiaocheng was spending big this time.
The tie plus the watch cost her a full 800 points of emotional value.
The former 200, the latter 600.
She believed Special Envoy Qiu knew what to do.
The emotional value saved up earlier was slowly starting to show its use. If Special Envoy Qiu could really establish a foothold around the head maid, then Chi Xiaocheng would have more confidence in dealing with the World Will!
After bidding farewell to Special Envoy Qiu, Chi Xiaocheng jumped down from the stone stool, looked at the pure white moonlight, and sighed again. “A special operations squad… ambushing on the road back from the banquet. And the location is on a road in the only suburban area outside the bustling city.”
In a way, the head maid was quite soft-hearted?
Specifically avoiding all the bustling areas along the way.
Her thoughts were melancholy, and at that very moment, Chi Xiaocheng’s phone rang.
It was a message from Su Tao, but to her surprise, the message from Su Tao was actually sent to the Chengcheng account.
This account hadn’t been in contact for quite a while.
Reαԁ оn ΚаtRеadіnɡСаfe
The last chat was during the holiday, just some routine catching up before it died down again.
Chi Xiaocheng clicked into the message.
Peach: “Chengcheng, I’m a bit lost. Can we have a video chat and talk? You can scold me if you want.”
Video chat….
Her mimicry and disguise skills could still be used, but she really couldn’t video chat at this time.
The garden was too recognizable; it was easy to see through.
So Chi Xiaocheng replied as usual, while walking out of the garden, “Sorry, my roommates are all asleep. A video would disturb them.”
Chengcheng: “What, did you have another fight with your little Orange?”
Peach: “You still understand me. I found out that Xiaocheng doesn’t seem to like me anymore.”
Chengcheng: “Is there something wrong with your feeling? Isn’t she a yandere? Would a yandere not like you?”
Peach: “But her memories, they really don’t seem to have recovered!”
Chengcheng: “???”
Chengcheng: “Again!?”
Using a tone completely unlike her own, she continuously counseled Su Tao, who was gradually becoming extreme due to the influence of the World Will.
Chi Xiaocheng chatted all the way while walking out of the garden.
But just as she stepped out from the small path, she saw Su Tao sitting on a stone stool on the other side.
The girl seemed to be waiting for her here.
