Chapter 10 Strongly Demanding a Share

"Boss..."

Before I could finish my sentence, he interrupted me, saying, "I'm not crazy. I know they all say I'm crazy, but I'm really not! I'm clear-headed, and I know what I'm doing. Siyi, believe me. You've also seen those bodies stand up. You will surely believe me."

His excited demeanor frightened me, and I nodded repeatedly. Suddenly, he embraced me tightly, very tightly. "Siyi, thank you for believing me. As long as I have some certainty, I'll keep waiting for her, searching for her."

As he held me, my heart felt hollow. I liked the boss, but he was embracing me because of another woman. I slowly extended my hand and held onto him, saying, "Boss, she will come back."

"She will, she will, she definitely will."

For a while, until we heard noises outside, we hurriedly separated. When I entered the office earlier, I didn't close the door. Kakashi, who had just come in, walked straight into the office, looking at us with confusion. "Siyi, Boss, is it just the two of you here? I came up to get my charger."

"Kakashi." I called out to him, "I'll go down with you. The boss hasn't eaten yet. Let's bring him some food."

Kakashi looked at me, then at the boss, nodded, and followed me downstairs. It was only in the hallway that Kakashi lowered his voice and asked, "Siyi, you and that dead guy, Abing, yesterday..."

I stopped in my tracks, looked around the empty hallway. At this time, there were very few people here, and even fewer were going up and down the stairs. I lowered my voice and said, "Don't talk like that anymore. His name is Su Haicheng. If you know, just pretend you don't. From now on, he's my boyfriend. Also, he's a businessman. Don't mention anything about Abing. He specifically asked me to remind you to watch your mouth, or else he'll kill both of us. Anyway, he's a dead person, and he doesn't have any concerns."

Kakashi took a breath, "So, you're really involved with that dead guy?"

I didn't answer him and quickly walked downstairs. He followed behind, continuing to ask, "Did you sleep in the same bed with him last night?"

I kicked at him, "What are you saying? We're partners. He needed me to cover for him, help with things he couldn't do directly. And he gives me money, that's it!"

"Wow wow wow! How much did he give you? I'm also an insider, and I strongly demand a share!"

As we were talking, voices could be heard in the stairwell. I glared at him, and he quickly shut his mouth. When we reached the bottom, we went outside the school to get a fast food meal for the boss. When we returned to the studio, I had already recounted the events of the past two days to Kakashi.

Kakashi was an insider, so it was better to tell him about these things. Moreover, based on our friendship as classmates over these few years, he wouldn't betray me. And even if he did, he would be betraying Su Haicheng.

Near the studio, I turned around and faced Kakashi, saying seriously, "You need to make a choice, either be a bystander or be our ally in this matter. If you dare to become our enemy, I'll be the first to report the multiple instances of you accessing classified military information. I'll make sure you end up in jail."

"I promise, I still want to keep my life. That dead person... hey!" Kakashi's words were interrupted halfway. His loud "hey" startled me. I turned around and saw the figure of a woman running away from the other staircase.

Kakashi continued, "She's not from our studio. Could she be a thief? Shiya, quickly check if anything has been stolen."

Just as he finished speaking, the boss rushed out. But this time, he stopped at the entrance, rubbing his forehead and looking at the two of us. "Oh, it's you two. I thought it was Sakurayuki."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi and I exchanged glances, and in the next moment, Kakashi had already rushed towards the staircase, shouting, "I need to use the restroom urgently!"

I handed the lunch box in my hand to the boss and said, "I'll go too!"

I didn't know what the boss would think when he heard Kakashi and me, because both of us had already run downstairs. When we reached the ground floor, there was no trace of that woman.

Kakashi gasped for breath, holding his stomach and said, "She's gone. Could it really be Sakurayuki? The boss wasn't crazy, didn't have blurry vision, and didn't have hallucinations."

I stood beside him, looking at him and patted his back. "You're so weak. You're already panting like this after running down from the fourth floor? As a girl, even my breathing hasn't changed much, but you're embarrassing."

He straightened up suddenly, "What's wrong with me? Even in a battle, I'm excellent... a computer assassin."

"Forget it, I'm going back."

"I'll go too, I'll go too!" He followed my footsteps, still wearing a mysterious smile.

I asked, "Why are you smiling so wickedly? What do you mean?"

"Ah, Siyi." He climbed onto my shoulder. "How much reward do you think the research institute would give me if I captured that dead person and handed him over? It should be at least tens of thousands."

"If you're not afraid of death, you can give it a try. Don't forget, he's a soldier, a third-generation military personnel, and an operational commander. He should be a formidable soldier. And he would definitely be ruthless."

Kakashi rarely came to where I lived. The first thing he said when he entered was, "Siyi, your place is so small. Can it even hide a dead body?"

"And you hide a dead body at home? Speak properly!"

Su Haicheng, who heard our voices, walked out of the room and leaned against the doorframe, looking at us. He didn't say a word, but from his gaze, I could tell he was unhappy!

I was about to explain, but Kakashi said, "Hey handsome dead guy, nice to meet you. I'm Kakashi. I also went to that village last time. Don't worry, I'll keep everything about you a secret. We are... allies! Of course, I demand my share with Siyi."

I knew he wouldn't work for free.

Kakashi awkwardly extended his hand, but Su Haicheng didn't say a word. He just turned back and went into the room.

Kakashi stood there embarrassedly, and I quickly said, "Kakashi knew about your situation from the beginning, and he saw you yesterday. I thought hiding it from him would be pointless."

"That's right." Kakashi also walked over and leaned against my room door, looking at Su Haicheng operating my computer. He said, "And I have brought you some news."

Su Haicheng still didn't say a word, with an air of 'say it if you want, otherwise, forget it'.

Kakashi felt a bit embarrassed, but he still said, "Our boss's girlfriend was also in that village, and it seems like she appeared today."

Finally, Su Haicheng reacted. He turned away from the computer and said, "Tell me. If it's not valuable, then just get lost."

Kakashi smiled and confidently said, "Oh, you're talking to me now. Alright, I'll tell you." Kakashi narrated the boss's behavior today and the incident with the woman we chased, adding some dramatic flair to his storytelling.

Su Haicheng's brow furrowed more and more as he listened to these words. His fingers tapped on my desk. I asked softly, "Do the people in that village all come back to life like you?"

He didn't answer me but said, "I understand now. Chen Siyi, give me your ID card."

When I heard this, I became nervous. Another surprised action like yesterday might give me a heart attack. "Why?"

Kakashi pushed me playfully, laughing. Su Haicheng stood up, approached me, and directly reached into my jeans pocket to take out my wallet. It felt really unpleasant, indescribable, but just not good. He didn't show any unusual expression during this action, but I nervously struggled a bit. What man puts his hand into an unfamiliar woman's pocket to take something out? What's wrong with him?

"What are you doing?!" I exclaimed.

Su Haicheng took my ID card from my wallet. "Tomorrow, I'm going to buy a car. It's inconvenient without a car for transportation. Also, we'll rent a bigger place."
