Cannon Fodder – Chapter 67 – If Ye Liang and I Fell Into the Water, Who Would You Save?

Chi Song sat in the passenger seat, deep in thought.

He didn’t know why these people were watching his little sister or how serious the “bullying” mentioned in her WeChat message was.

After a moment, he raised his head, his eyes cold. No matter what, these people clearly meant harm to his sister. They couldn’t stay!

“I’ll stand outside for a bit. You guys move the cars and check for hidden lookouts. If there aren’t any, take those three out!”

“Got it!”

Liang Hei nodded, and the group quickly sprang into action.

Chi Song stood at the neighborhood entrance, lighting a cigarette and checking his phone. He considered calling Chi Xiaocheng to ask, but didn’t want to disturb her sleep.

So he just stood there, braving the cold wind.

Luckily, it wasn’t snowing. His jacket was enough to withstand the chill.

After about half an hour, Liang Hei messaged: “Brother Song, no hidden lookouts found.”

Chi Song’s eyes turned icy. “Then take them all out. Find out who sent them.”

Liang Hei: “Won’t this alert the enemy?”

Chi Song: “If they’re already watching, things can’t be good. Better to eliminate them than let them report back!”

Liang Hei: “What if it’s a misunderstanding? What if they’re not targeting Chengzi?”

“Even better.” Chi Song smirked. “I’m not here for my sister anyway. I’m just passing through. Remember to watch for cameras.”

“Understood, Brother Song.”

No hesitation. Just act!

Chi Song glanced at the burly men again and walked into the neighborhood.

He trusted his men to handle it.

If those people really were sent to watch his sister, staying here would be dangerous. Better to take her to Lizhi City, where it was safer.

Without waking the dozing security guard, Chi Song climbed over the gate and soon found his way home.

He entered the electronic password and opened the door.

Chi Song didn’t turn on the lights, sneaking in like a thief. Using his phone’s flashlight, he spotted a thermos on the table with a note underneath.

The handwriting was delicate.

“Brother, there’s hot water in the thermos. The rice cooker has warm food….”

The living room was empty, but the AC was on, meaning Chi Xiaocheng was already asleep.

Chi Song went to the kitchen and opened the rice cooker. Inside, besides rice, there were sausages and greens on a plate, all kept warm.

After traveling for hours late at night, how could he not be hungry?

Holding the thermos, Chi Song felt his eyes sting.

He hadn’t shed tears even when stabbed, but now he felt choked up. He grabbed the entire rice cooker and headed out.

He found his men and went to a restaurant to eat together.

Proudly bragging: “Guess what? My sister left food for me!”

Meanwhile, Chi Xiaocheng slept soundly in her room, enjoying the AC until morning.

She had messaged Si Chen the night before. Waking up, she saw his reply:

“Chi Xiaocheng, what did you do to Su Tao these past three days? She seems really off and asked me to find a psychologist for you. What’s going on?”

Chi Xiaocheng curled up under the blankets, hugging a giant panda plushie. “Did you reply yet?”

Si Chen: “Not yet. Just saw the message after waking up. Feels like something’s up with you, so I’m checking first.”

Relieved, Chi Xiaocheng thought: Great, so Su Tao asked Si Chen for help.

‘If that’s the case….’

“It’s fine. Just go along with her request and find a psychologist. But during the checkup, your doctor needs to play along and fake a diagnosis for her.”

Si Chen: “You sure? Su Tao’s request was specifically about your… uh… mental issues.”

Chi Xiaocheng: “I know. She wants a psychologist to see if my yandere tendencies can be ‘treated,’ right?”

Chi Xiaocheng saw through his clumsy attempt at hiding it and laid her cards on the table.

But Si Chen was stunned: “Wait, you know you’re a yandere?”

‘Isn’t the whole point that yanderes don’t realize they’re yanderes?’

Chi Xiaocheng: “Of course I’m not a yandere.”

Si Chen: “Huh?”

Chi Xiaocheng: “Since we’re on the same side now, I’ll be honest. Last time, I was acting.”

Si Chen: “HUH???”

Chi Xiaocheng: “Why so surprised? If I were really a yandere, I wouldn’t have just scratched your face last time.”

Si Chen: “???”

‘Seriously?!’

‘Last time, if I hadn’t dodged, my face would’ve been shredded! And that crazed state of yours! You call that acting?’

Si Chen fell silent for a moment.

He wanted to call Chi Xiaocheng and say, “I like Su Tao,” just to see her reaction. But remembering the lingering pain on his back, he dismissed the idea.

‘Yanderes don’t know they’re yanderes.’

‘Seems this saying holds true. She’s a full-blown yandere but thinks she’s acting?’

Sitting at his computer, Si Chen’s face cycled through expressions. Finally, he messaged: “So your plan is: I find a psychologist to ‘diagnose’ you, then tell Su Tao you’re a severe yandere in front of her?”

Chi Xiaocheng: “Yes. Bonus points if you can fabricate some trauma history to make Su Tao think I’d die without her. Classic yandere stuff, got it?”

Si Chen: “…”

‘I can’t tell. I really can’t tell!’

Si Chen sighed. “I think I get it. Aside from Su Tao, anything else?”

Chi Xiaocheng: “Oh, right.”

Si Chen: “Go on.”

Chi Xiaocheng: “I cut ties with Ye Liang. Go kill him for me.”

“HUH?!”

How did things escalate so much in just a few days?!

Reading the messages, Si Chen questioned his life choices. Was siding with Chi Xiaocheng really the right move?

He felt trapped on a pirate ship.

Helpless, he replied gloomily: “I’m about to be disowned by my family. My connections are limited. How am I supposed to fight Ye Liang?”

Chi Xiaocheng: “Then manipulate Su Tao into disliking Ye Liang and liking me more.”

Si Chen: “Got it. I’ll handle it.”

‘Hehe, even the psychologist is on my side. Tao-Tao, how will you escape my grasp?’

‘Time for the hard sell!’

Chi Xiaocheng immediately opened Su Tao’s WeChat:

“Good morning, Tao-Tao~

“Waking up without you feels weird.

“The day you left, Ye Liang found me. We had a… disagreement.

“So… I have a question.

“If Ye Liang and I fell into the water, who would you save?”
