Chapter 69 Let'S Go On A Date~
“No!”
The two blunt words appeared on Ye Liang's phone.
It was as if Su Tao herself stood before him and slapped him across the face.
His face burned.
“Chi Xiaocheng... it must be her!”
Ye Liang's face darkened, and he subconsciously clutched his waist; it had been a close call back then, almost losing a kidney. Though he'd been lucky to escape, he still couldn't comprehend where Chi Xiaocheng had found such incredible strength! If not for her, Su Tao wouldn't be like this now!
“A yandere...”
At the time, he'd thought Chi Xiaocheng had become a yandere because she liked him. He never would have imagined that, as a girl, she had always been in love with Su Tao! With that thought, her actions over the past two months suddenly made sense. Because this person was already insane to begin with.
“Young Master.”
A bodyguard entered from outside, lowering his head to report, “Something’s happened, Young Master. The three lookouts we sent to watch Chi Xiaocheng’s residential complex have all been taken out.”
“Taken out?” Ye Liang frowned. “Has Chi Xiaocheng not left her home since I departed?”
“Yes, Young Master,” the bodyguard replied. “As you know, if she were to come out, kidnapping her would be manageable, but forcibly entering the complex might cause too much of a stir.”
“Who dealt with those three covert operatives?”
“It’s still under investigation. We’d already disabled the roadside surveillance ourselves because we intended to abduct Chi Xiaocheng, so we haven’t found specific information yet. However, their license plates are from Lychee City.”
“Lychee City...” Hearing those three words, Ye Liang frowned again. “Is our expansion into that region not going smoothly either?”
“Indeed. The local gangs are resisting very fiercely; money alone won’t solve it. If we want to infiltrate, we’ll have to resort to some unconventional methods.”
“Then how many people can we spare right now?”
“Uh...” The bodyguard hesitated, then slowly said, “Honestly, we can’t spare anyone. The main family in the capital is watching us, and there are unknown forces obstructing us in Lychee City as well. We’d need to deploy more skilled personnel, but for now, we can only try hiring some amateurs with money.”
“A bunch of good-for-nothings!” Ye Liang fumed with rage. “They can’t even deal with a mere university student.”
A university student, by all accounts, should pose no threat. Yet, every time he touched the wounds on his own body, Ye Liang couldn’t help but feel a surge of irritation. Chi Xiaocheng, that person would be better off disappearing!
Ye Liang picked up his phone and dialed a number.
“Well, well, a rare call indeed. What can I do for you?”
Si Chen’s voice came through from the other end.
As one of Jiuzhou City’s “Three Great Young Masters,” Ye Liang, Si Chen, and Dongfang Yang naturally maintained contact with one another.
Ye Liang didn’t beat around the bush. “Su Tao has come to you a few times. You know about Chi Xiaocheng, don’t you?”
Si Chen: “Yes, I do. What about it?”
Ye Liang said gravely, “Chi Xiaocheng is a yandere. She’s very dangerous. Letting her stay close to Su Tao will only hurt her!”
At home, Si Chen listened to Ye Liang’s words, and his expression grew strange. It was true that Chi Xiaocheng was a yandere. *She* would hurt Su Tao? Si Chen touched the scar on his face, then subtly felt the "Never Love Tao" tattooed on his back, pondering the true meaning of those four words. He sighed and lit a cigarette. “So, why are you calling me?”
Ye Liang said in a low voice, “Don’t you need money and connections to help you reclaim your position as the Si family’s heir? I can help you!”
Si Chen raised an eyebrow. “And the condition?”
Ye Liang: “The condition is, you eliminate Chi Xiaocheng.”
“Huh?”
Si Chen’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. Why did that sentence sound so familiar? He couldn’t help but retort, “You, Ye Liang, practically rule Jiuzhou City, yet you can’t even deal with a mere university student? And you have the nerve to ask *me*?”
Ye Liang let out a hollow chuckle. “I’m helping you. Besides me, who else can help you reclaim your position as the Si family’s heir? As you said, Chi Xiaocheng is just a university student; dealing with her should be a piece of cake for you.”
He was confident Si Chen would agree. He knew this reserved man with glasses too well. He was extremely rational, prioritizing personal gain and objectives above all else. As long as the benefit was sufficient, this man would betray even friends, even family.
Once I sort out the situation in Lychee City and free up my resources, helping you reclaim your position as the Si family’s heir will be my promise, Ye Liang’s promise! Once Chi Xiaocheng is out of the picture, Su Tao will surely return to my side, won’t she? Then, he would control Si Chen, marry Su Tao, return to the Ye family in the capital, and ascend from one peak of his life to another!
However, just as he began to fantasize, he heard Si Chen’s voice, laced with the mocking tone one might use when addressing an idiot. “Spare me the act. If I eliminate Chi Xiaocheng, I’ll be completely cut off from Su Tao. What if you then turn around and stab me in the back? Don’t take me for a fool.”

Dooo-dooo-dooo—
Ye Liang’s smile froze. He had never imagined Si Chen would actually refuse him.
“An unperceptive fool!”
Ye Liang took a deep breath and dialed another number.
“Hello, Dongfang Yang? Chi Xiaocheng is a yandere. She likes Su Tao, and Su Tao is in great danger, so you...”
Dongfang Yang: “Haha, Ye Liang, have you been hit by a donkey and lost your mind? Chi Xiaocheng clearly likes *me*! Get lost, you idiot!”
Dooo-dooo-dooo—
The call was disconnected again.
Ye Liang stood frozen in place, feeling his nose turn red. Subsequently, bursts of impotent rage erupted from his office.
Meanwhile, Su Tao, who had been successively gaslit by Chen Qian and her roommates, also replied to Chi Xiaocheng’s message. She didn’t use the cheesy pick-up lines Chen Qian had prepared; instead, she replied naturally, “Of course I’d save you, Xiaocheng!” After all, it was an easy question, and a little mental pressure was all that was needed.
Chi Xiaocheng was still huddled in her blankets, her warm fingers typing out chilling words: “Is it because I’m more important than Ye Liang that you’d save me?”
Taozi: “Xiaocheng, why are you still saying things like that? Of course, you’re the most important person to me.”
Chengzi: “Hehe, I knew Taozi loves me the most, and I love Taozi the most too.”
A confession, as always. Even though she’d said it countless times, Chi Xiaocheng remained tireless. However, this time, after sending that message, Su Tao didn’t reply immediately. She still chose to evade. But it didn’t matter. Chi Xiaocheng knew Su Tao’s heart must be in turmoil. Otherwise, by now, she would have replied with some insignificant remarks. The three days of psychological pressure had yielded excellent results!
Chengzi: “Taozi, I miss you. It feels like ages since we last saw each other. Are you free today?”
Taozi: “What do you mean ‘ages’? We just saw each other yesterday!”
Not only had they met, but they’d even slept in each other’s arms.
Chengzi: “For me, every moment Taozi isn’t by my side feels like an eternity.”
Chengzi: “How about we go out in a little while?”
Taozi: “Go out and do what?”
Chi Xiaocheng looked at the message, but instead of typing a reply directly, she brought her lips close to the phone’s microphone and tapped the voice message icon.
“To... go on a date, of course~”
A warm breath escaped her lips, her voice soft and sweet, like a succubus luring souls.
