Cannon Fodder – Chapter 69 – Let’s Go on a Date~

“No!”

Two large characters appeared heavily on Ye Liang’s phone screen.

It felt as if Su Tao herself had slapped him in the face. His face burned with humiliation.

“Chi Xiaocheng… it must be her!”

Ye Liang’s face darkened as he instinctively clutched his waist. Just a little more, and his kidney would have been gone that day.

Though he had escaped luckily, he couldn’t understand where Chi Xiaocheng had gotten such terrifying strength!

If it weren’t for her, Su Tao wouldn’t have become like this!

“Yandere….”

At the time, he had thought Chi Xiaocheng had turned yandere because she liked him. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that, as a girl, she had actually liked Su Tao all along!

Thinking about it now, her actions over the past two months suddenly made sense.

Because this girl had always been crazy.

“Young Master.”

A bodyguard walked in from outside, bowing his head to report, “Something’s happened. All three of our sentries assigned to watch Chi Xiaocheng’s neighborhood have been taken out.”

“Taken out?” Ye Liang frowned. “Don’t tell me Chi Xiaocheng hasn’t left her house at all since I left?”

“Yes, Young Master,” the bodyguard replied. “As you know, if she had gone out, we could’ve just snatched her then. But forcing our way into the residential area would likely cause too much of a scene.”

“Who took out the three sentries?”

“We’re still investigating. Since we also planned to kidnap Chi Xiaocheng, we had already disabled the street surveillance cameras beforehand. We haven’t found any concrete leads yet, but the license plates on their cars were from Lizhi City.”

“Lizhi City….” Ye Liang frowned again upon hearing the name. “Is our business expansion there not going smoothly either?”

“That’s correct. The local gangs are resisting fiercely. Money alone won’t solve the problem. If we want to infiltrate, we’ll need to use some unconventional methods.”

“How many people can we spare right now?”

“Well….” The bodyguard hesitated before answering slowly, “To be honest, we can’t spare anyone. The main family in the capital is keeping a close eye on us, and there’s also an unknown force obstructing us in Lizhi City. We’d need to send more people there. The best we can do is hire some outsiders to try.”

“Useless trash!” Ye Liang was furious. “We can’t even handle one college student.”

A college student, logically speaking, shouldn’t be a threat at all.

But every time he touched his wounds, Ye Liang couldn’t help but seethe with anger.

Chi Xiaocheng, it’d be better if this girl just disappeared!

Ye Liang picked up his phone and dialed a number.

“What a rare guest. What brings you to call me?”

The voice on the other end belonged to Si Chen.

As one of the “Three Young Masters” of Jiuzhou City, Ye Liang, Si Chen, and Dongfang Yang naturally had connections with one another.

Ye Liang didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point. “Su Tao has visited you a few times. You know about Chi Xiaocheng, right?”

Si Chen: “Yeah, what about her?”

Ye Liang said gravely, “Chi Xiaocheng is a yandere. She’s dangerous. Keeping her around will hurt Su Tao!”

Si Chen, at home, listened to Ye Liang’s words, his expression turning strange.

It was true that Chi Xiaocheng was a yandere.

But she would hurt Su Tao?

Si Chen touched the scar on his face, then felt the weight of the words “Never Love Tao” carved into his back. Sighing, he lit a cigarette. “So, what do you want from me?”

Ye Liang said darkly, “You need money and connections to reclaim your position as the Si family heir, don’t you? I can help you!”

Si Chen raised an eyebrow: “And the condition?”

Ye Liang: “The condition is, you take care of Chi Xiaocheng.”

“Huh?”

Si Chen’s lips twitched uncontrollably. Why did this sound so familiar?

He couldn’t help but retort, “You, Ye Liang, practically rule Jiuzhou City with an iron fist. You can’t even handle one college student, and you have the nerve to come to me?”

Ye Liang chuckled. “I’m doing you a favor. Besides me, no one else can help you reclaim the Si family heir position, right? As you said, Chi Xiaocheng is just a college student. Taking her out should be a piece of cake for you.”

He was confident Si Chen would agree.

He knew this glasses-wearing, repressed man too well.

Rational, prioritizing profit and goals above all else. As long as the benefits were sufficient, this guy would even betray friends or family.

‘Once I sort out the Lizhi City situation and free up my hands, helping you reclaim the Si family heir position will be my promise!’

‘Once Chi Xiaocheng is dealt with, Su Tao will surely return to my side, right?’

Then, controlling Si Chen, marrying Su Tao, and returning to the Ye family in the capital!

However, just as he began fantasizing, he heard Si Chen’s mocking voice, as if talking to an idiot, “Yeah, right. If I kill Chi Xiaocheng, I’ll be completely cutting ties with Su Tao. What’s to stop you from stabbing me in the back then? Don’t take me for a fool.”

Click—

Beep beep beep—

Ye Liang’s smile froze. He had never imagined Si Chen would reject him.

“Stubborn fool!”

Ye Liang took a deep breath and made another call.

“Hello, Dongfang Yang? Chi Xiaocheng is a yandere. She likes Su Tao, and Su Tao is in danger. You—”

Dongfang Yang: “Haha, Ye Liang, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? Chi Xiaocheng obviously likes me! Screw you!”

Beep beep beep—

The call ended again.

Ye Liang stood frozen in place, his nose turning red.

Soon, the office echoed with the sounds of impotent rage.

Meanwhile, Su Tao, after hearing “advices” from Chen Qian and her roommate, finally replied to Chi Xiaocheng’s message.

Instead of using the cheesy pickup lines Chen Qian had prepared, she replied naturally, “Of course I’d save you, Xiaocheng!”

After all, it was an easy question. Just a bit of psychological pressure was enough.

Chi Xiaocheng was still curled up under her blanket, her warm fingers typing out cold words: “Is it because I’m more important than Ye Liang that you’d save me?”

Peach: “How can you still say things like that, Xiaocheng? Of course you’re the most important to me.”

Orange: “Hehe, I knew Tao-Tao loved me the most. I love Tao-Tao the most too.”

The same confession as always.

Even though she’d said it countless times, Chi Xiaocheng never tired of it.

Yet this time, Su Tao didn’t reply immediately. She still chose to avoid it.

But it didn’t matter. Chi Xiaocheng knew Su Tao’s heart must be in turmoil. Otherwise, she would’ve replied with some irrelevant remark by now.

Three days of isolation had yielded excellent results!

Orange: “Tao-Tao, I miss you. It’s been so long since we last saw each other. Are you free today?”

Peach: “How is it ‘so long’? We just saw each other yesterday.”

Not only had they met, they’d even slept in each other’s arms.

Orange: “For me, every moment without Tao-Tao feels like a year.”

Orange: “Let’s go out later, okay?”

Peach: “Go out for what?”

Chi Xiaocheng looked at the message but didn’t type a reply.

Instead, she brought her lips close to the phone’s microphone and tapped the voice message button.

“Of course… to go on a date~”

A warm breath escaped her lips, her voice soft and sticky like a succubus.
