Chapter 148: Abandoned by The Forsaken Ones (2/2)

“How can there be no benefits?” Shen Cheng smiled slightly and said, “Coming to my Cat Café doesn’t allow you to eat and drink for free. You’ll have to work for me.”

“You really are…” Ye Xi sighed softly, “Forcing someone into your Cat Café, and now you want them to work for free too.”

“So… does that mean you agree?”

“…” After a moment of silence, Ye Xi shook her head. “The more you act like this, the less I want to stay by your side because I will bring you…”

—Disaster.

Before the last two words could be spoken, Shen Cheng interrupted with a light laugh, “I’ve already said, I never believe in those things. Besides… I’ve always had good luck.”

As he spoke, Shen Cheng reached out his hand towards Ye Xi, his gaze locking onto her, and said, “Ye Xi, come with me.”

“Your personality is really… hard to describe in one word.” Ye Xi sighed bitterly as he looked at Shen Cheng’s outstretched hand. Lifting her delicate hand, she placed it in Shen Cheng’s, “Fine, from now on, I’ll make up for your personality flaws. But I’m warning you… don’t regret it later, okay?”

…

As Shen Cheng and Ye Xi walked under the moonlight past the battlefield of Shen Cheng and The Forsaken Ones, Ye Xi closed her eyes slightly, gazing at the corpses scattered everywhere.

“…I’m sorry.” Noticing Ye Xi’s reaction, Shen Cheng apologized.

Ye Xi shook her head, “This was their fate. But when I think about how they died for me, and yet I’m the one who survived alone, I just…”

“Fool.” Shen Cheng sighed, flicking Ye Xi lightly on the forehead. “They died for you so that you could live. How can you not understand such a simple truth…”

A bunch of madmen who were willing to gamble their lives for Ye Xi…

“…” After a moment of silence, Ye Xi bowed deeply to the fallen, “Thank you all for looking after me during this time…”

As the two of them passed through the forest and arrived at the mouth of the valley, the police on duty had already changed to two new officers.

When the two officers saw a blood-soaked man leading a strange woman in a dark purple coat out of the forest, their expressions immediately became wary, and they quickly drew their guns, aiming at Shen Cheng. “Who are you? How did you get in here?!”

“No, no, I’m not a suspicious person.” Shen Cheng waved his hand with a smile and took out his Specialized Agent ID, saying, “I was in the forest for a mission.”

Seeing Shen Cheng covered in blood, one of the officers frowned deeply. Even as he accepted the ID, he still kept his gun firmly pointed at Shen Cheng. With one hand, he flipped open the ID, glanced at it, and his expression relaxed. He lowered his gun, “So you’re Investigator Shen. The previous shift already informed us about you.”

Hearing this, the other officer also lowered his gun. Though puzzled, he stepped aside to let Shen Cheng and the slender woman behind him pass, “Investigator Shen, please go ahead.”

“Uh…” Shen Cheng scratched his head, looking at his blood-stained clothes. “If I walk out like this and onto the street, I’m afraid it’ll cause panic, right?”

“Uh… could one of you two help me buy a set of clothes?”

Both officers: “…”
