Chapter 67 Friend or Foe

I was pushed into the car by Zuo Yu, and it was one of those expensive cars. Pardon me for not coming from a family that provided me with such an environment. I didn't really understand the value of those cars, but I just had a feeling that they were expensive. And I also noticed that the car had a military license plate.

As Kakashi was about to start the car, he climbed into the back seat and refused to get down.

Zuo Yu started the car and said, "Chen Siyi, you don't have to be nervous. I just want to understand the situation with you." After the car drove out of the D District, he asked, "When did you meet Su Haicheng?"

"Are you conducting a political investigation?" I replied unkindly.

"I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Zuo Yu, the 'Yu' in the universe. Su Haicheng and I grew up together in the military compound since we were kids."

"Didn't they call you Major?" Kakashi leaned forward and rested his entire body on the front seat.

"That's just how everyone calls me. Just like how everyone calls him Su Shao. I'm currently in the General Staff Department, so you don't need to be afraid of me, right?"

I secretly thought to myself that it's precisely because he's in the General Staff Department that I should be even more worried. Ah Tian is just a bar owner. His stance leans towards Haicheng as a friend. Who knows if this staff officer is one of General Q's men?

Before I could say anything, Kakashi spoke up for me, "This isn't a question of being afraid or not. Brother, can't you consider this kidnapping?"

I remembered that he pushed me into the car, but Kakashi jumped in by himself. Kakashi continued to act like a rogue, "So, can you stop the car at the next intersection, Mr. Staff Officer? Otherwise, when you stop at a red light later, I'll bang on the window and shout loudly. What should I shout? Let's think of it together, Siyi."

"Shouting 'rape' would be good. I'll hide under the seat, and you mess up your clothes a bit, pull down your jacket zipper..."

Before I could finish, the car came to a stop at the side of the road. Zuo Yu's face turned pale. I think anyone would get angry in a situation like this. He turned his head to look at me, asking sternly, "I'll ask you one question. After Haicheng's accident, did you feel like someone was watching you?"

"Not before, but now I do. You've come knocking on my door." That's how I answered, but I knew he wasn't asking that. He must have discovered something.

"Was it you who used Haicheng's card to eat at a private restaurant yesterday?"

"Yeah, I used his money. So what?" In order to get rid of him sooner, I continued to play the role of a supporting actress who schemed to take someone's property. "When the child in my belly is born, won't all of Su's things be mine? Haicheng is already dead, but I insist on giving birth to this child. What do you think I'm doing it for? Without money, how can a woman like me raise a child? So what if I spend his money? Do you brothers have a problem with that? If you have any objections, go talk to him directly."

My words finally provoked him. "Get out of the car! How did Haicheng fall for you?"

Kakashi quickly got out of the car when he heard that, and he even opened the door for me. But I didn't move; I continued, "What's wrong with me? Why can't he fall for me? Do you think you're so great? If you're so capable, find a woman who's not with you for money. You wealthy young masters haven't experienced the hardship of being broke."

Zuo Yu was probably furious with me. It was evident from the anger on his face, but he didn't say anything. I felt so triumphant because, you see, if the same thing happened to Su Haicheng, he would definitely be yelling at me. Haicheng's military background would never allow him to stay silent in such a situation.

But this Major is different; he is a staff officer, and he handles things much more smoothly than Haicheng. Right now, he was glaring at me in anger but remained silent, while Kakashi pulled me out of the car and said, "Siyi, let's go back."

"Go back? How are we going to go back? It's so far from the school, and it's already dark. Are we going to walk back?"

"Taking a taxi is fine. I'll pay for it. Let's go." Kakashi held onto me. After I got out of the car, I heard Major mutter, "How could Su Haicheng fall for a woman like her?" Then the car drove away.

Kakashi looked at me and started laughing. I was drenched in cold sweat and pushed him away, saying, "Why are you laughing? I'm so nervous."

"Why be nervous? We live in a society governed by law. What can he do to us?"

"Don't say that. There are lawless people out there now too. Let's go, you pay for the taxi."

"Why should I pay? Didn't we agree on that earlier? Never mind, let's walk. It's not far from here to my place." Indeed, the car didn't go far from District D. It wasn't far from my small house either.

When we arrived home, the boss had already left, and Tian had returned to the bar. Only Haicheng was at home, sitting in front of the machine with headphones on, listening to something. He gestured for us to sit down when he saw us return, indicating that he had received a phone call.

A few minutes later, he took off the headphones and said, "The monitoring device is working fine. We received a few calls."

Kakashi immediately asked, "Did you find anything?"

Haicheng sighed and didn't respond to him. I knew it was unlikely that we would receive any news right after installing the monitoring device. Haicheng looked at me as if asking how I managed to bring Kakashi back. I quickly pushed him out while saying, "Thank you for taking me home. Now you should go back to school."

As he walked out, he said, "Remember to tell your dead family members the story of how I played the hero. So they won't keep looking down on me."

After Kakashi left, Haicheng poured a glass of water and continued sitting in front of the machine, asking, "What happened? How did he play the hero?"

I told him about what happened with the Major and also said, "Major asked me that way, so I suspect he has sensed something. For example, that you're not dead yet. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked like that. I don't know if he's an enemy or a friend."

Haicheng remained silent. Seeing him like that, I decided to let it go. I couldn't help him in this matter, so he should think about it on his own. But I could tell that this situation was putting a lot of pressure on Haicheng. That night, he sat in front of the monitoring device, deep in thought, for the entire night.

He didn't go back to his room, and I couldn't sleep in bed either. I walked to the front door several times to look at him in the living room. He was still sitting there, furrowing his brows, lost in thought.

The next day, according to the original plan, I started using Haicheng's card to make purchases everywhere. However, there were only a few places where the card could be used, such as private clubs in the city center, private bars, or shops owned by military wives.

These places were quite special, and only those with the card could enter and make purchases. Several times, I was stopped at the door, and only after showing the card was I allowed in, but they still looked at me suspiciously.

When it came to spending money, Kakashi was definitely proactive, so he accompanied me the whole time. We spent three days visiting all the shops listed on the card.

On the afternoon of the third day, I received a call from a delivery guy. He said he was already downstairs at my place and had a package for me to sign for. At that time, I was still outside, so after hesitating for a moment, I asked the delivery person to leave the package at the old man's place opposite mine. Now that Haicheng had pushed me out, it would be simple for him to find me through the package. Who knows if those bad people would do the same. We had to be cautious of everyone, including meter readers and delivery people.

In the evening, after I returned home around ten o'clock, I went to knock on the door of the old man next door and retrieved the package. I thanked the old man several times. I was puzzled because I hadn't ordered anything from an online marketplace. Who could have sent this package? Looking at the receipt, there was no sender information, and if it weren't for the seal of City A, we wouldn't even know where it came from.
