Boss's Death Guide

Chapter 101 - Breakup

Edited by Meri

“Don’t worry. Li Shu wants to give the secure base to that Nie Yi; this is something I simply cannot allow.”

“Just wait a little longer. Oh right, is the child still okay? Is there enough food? The secure base will organise people to go hunting tomorrow; I’ll send you guys some stuff then.”

Feng Qinyun was still coaxing the woman just like how he did with Li Shu in the past. He treated the woman just as warmly, yet also had an inarguable tyranny.

Li Shu didn’t have any expression at all, suddenly recalling many things from the past.

Feng Qinyun was dating him, yet didn’t really like sex, saying that he was thinking of his health. What ‘thinking of his health’? Feng Qinyun just liked women, right?

Li Shu had even wondered at the start whether him encountering all of this was planned by someone, but his rationality was telling him no.

Feng Qinyun’s voice was something he couldn’t be more familiar about, and he could even recognise that woman’s voice. He had seen the woman before, and Feng Qinyun said that she was his schoolmate.

Li Shu felt his body turn cold, but the more this went on, the calmer he became, and even all his emotions were separated from his body as he began considering the following matters. He even began thinking about how he could make Feng Qinyun admit his wrong and feel regretful.

Right at this time, he felt his hand get jabbed. All his emotions instantly returned to his body. Li Shu finally realised that his heart was hurting very, very much.

But he still did not express anything on his face at all.

Qi An turned his head and measured up Li Shu, his expression very curious— He had thought that this person would cry ne!

He had been following Feng Qinyun these days and even though he hadn’t caught any blackmail materials against Feng Qinyun, he saw many of Feng Qinyun and Li Shu’s interactions.

Li Shu clearly liked Feng Qinyun very much, and now that Feng Qinyun betrayed him, he should be feeling very angry, right? In his last life when he looked around everywhere for gossip with his teleportation, he had seen people despairingly retaliate or commit suicide while sobbing because of betrayal. In short, anything could happen.

Li Shu, however, was just silently sitting there. Even when they began kissing inside and started to confide their feelings in each other, he didn’t really react unusually.

Qi An first felt a little sympathetic for this uncle who treated him and Xiaomao pretty well, but now he didn’t know what to say, so he simply shut his mouth and did not speak as he began to concentrate on recovering his ability— Having teleported back and forth, his ability was practically emptied out!

The two people inside had spoken about a lot; Feng Qinyun had even asked the woman many things about the child. At this time, they had always been very careful.

They had opened all the windows in this hut that was for people to rest in and constantly paid attention to the situation outside. As long as someone walked over, they could see them immediately. However, below the foot of this house’s wall just happened to be their blind spot.

When they gazed outside the window, they couldn’t see the two people sitting against the wall, and they absolutely wouldn’t have imagined that someone could directly teleport to their side.

The two inside the house were still speaking, but Li Shu suddenly took out a pen from his bosom then wrote a sentence on his hand. “Is your ability recovered? Let’s return.”

Qi An was startled when he saw this sentence. Return? Shouldn’t they kick the door down and enter, then give both of the people inside a slap on the face?

Although he was baffled, Qi An still left with Li Shu with his ability, but after they reached a corner of the secure base, he immediately asked, “Why didn’t you go out and massacre them?”

Li Shu shot Qi An a glance, then smiled. “Because I can’t beat him.”

Feng Qinyun had also awakened to an ability. Although it was a water ability, he had already reached level three and could use ice blades. As for him? His wind ability was just level two, and because he had to worry about all the various affairs in the secure base, he didn’t have time to train offensive abilities.

Li Shu being this frank conversely astonished Qi An a little. He stared at Li Shu closely for a while, then asked, “Then aren’t you sad?”

“I’m very sad ah.” Li Shu smiled, then stayed in the corner, gazing at the distant path up and down the mountains

After a while, Feng Qinyun was the first to come down. After another period of time, a woman came down while carrying a basket of wild vegetables.

If they claimed that Li Shu previously had been anticipating that all of this was fake, he no longer had any extravagant hopes anymore now. He picked Qi An up. “Alright, let’s go back ba. We still have many things to do.”

“I’ll send you back with my teleportation!” Qi An said while struggling.

“No need, I’ll carry you back.” Li Shu immediately refused. This child had already paled from using his ability a few times; it wasn’t good to let him use his ability again.

Qi An couldn’t struggle free and snorted while looking at Li Shu. “I’m already grown up; I want to walk by myself! Or else I’ll use my ability!”

Li Shu gave Qi An a look and put him down, walking ahead while holding his hand.

“In the past, my mom and dad also took me out to play like this too.” Qi An looked at the hand Li Shu was holding and suddenly spoke. His dad seemed to be the age of Li Shu, but he could already no longer remember that man’s face.

Li Shu knew this child was talking about pre-apocalypse and said with a smile, “I’ll take you to play too in the future.” The various feelings that had been lurching in his mind had all immediately calmed down upon hearing Qi An speak of ‘mom and dad’.

The apocalypse was already here; how many people had been ruined and orphaned? He was just breaking up and it couldn’t be considered much; just think of it as being bitten by a dog.

“There’s nothing fun to play here! Big Brother Qi took me to play in an amusement park before, you know?” Qi An looked at Li Shu with a proud face.

“Your Big Brother Qi is very powerful,” Li Shu said. He didn’t envy Qi Jingchen in the past; after all, he himself was living pretty well. But now, he suddenly felt a little envious of this youth.

Yuncheng was a prefecture-level city, and the people in the Yuncheng secure base included survivors from the Yuncheng city, as well as survivors from the towns and counties around it. At the beginning, there was about a sum of two hundred thousand people here, and though it had now lessened, there was still about a hundred thousand.

With this many people, the Yuncheng secure base naturally wasn’t small either. Li Shu led Qi An along and walked for quite a while before returning to his workplace.

“Eh? Did the chief go out just now?” Seeing Li Shu, some were a little confused— It seemed like they didn’t see Li Shu go out ah!

Perhaps Li Shu went out while they were absent-minded?

Li Shu didn’t know about these people’s thoughts at all. When he returned to his workplace, he saw Nie Yi still practising his water and fire ability.

He suddenly thought of the things Nie Yi had warned him during the past few days. Back then, he still thought that it was absolutely impossible, but he didn’t think that this soon Feng Qinyun would suddenly allow him to hear such a drama.

“Xiao Yi, how did you know?” Li Shu asked with a sigh. Feng Qinyun had always acted very well before him. If it weren’t because he personally heard it, he feared that he probably wouldn’t believe him at all.

“The zombie pig is very powerful.” Nie Yi shot Li Shu a look. “If you went, it’s possible you’ll be eaten.”

“So it’s like that.” Li Shu thought carefully. The reason he would have the idea of personally leading men to handle that zombie pig was truly related to Feng Qinyun. This person unexpectedly wanted him to die.

After a moment of silence, Li Shu suddenly took up the phone on the table and started calling on people.

Now, there were numerous secure bases all over the country. Sometimes, even a small town could have a secure base— In the densely populated coastal area in Jiangnan, a small town could have about a hundred thousand residents, even excluding those that came to work!

Their Yuncheng secure base wasn’t big, so the militia dispatched here were also few. Now, the people upholding the order of the secure base were basically people who were later cultivated from among the survivors.

Li Shu had always been very trusting of Feng Qinyun and handed over many matters for Feng Qinyun to handle, but he still had some of his own men among these people. At this moment, he was calling his men.

After calling over his men, Li Shu began issuing orders to each and every one.

He relieved all of Feng Qinyun’s subordinates of their positions; he even relieved Feng Qinyun of his duties.

“Chief?” The people who had received Li Shu’s orders looked at him in surprise. Li Shu and Feng Qinyun had a good relationship and they also did not distinguish themselves from Feng Qinyun’s men. Why did they suddenly want to deal with Feng Qinyun’s people now?

“Feng Qinyun attempted to destroy the secure base’s stability,” Li Shu said.

He now could not provide any proof of Feng Qinyun wanting to harm him, but he still had to resolve Feng Qinyun. After all, if he continued keeping him, perhaps Feng Qinyun would cause some ruckus.

If Feng Qinyun truly brought his subordinates to clash against him, the ultimately unfortunate ones were only the people of the secure base.

Li Shu’s trusted men still were a little confused. After the apocalypse began, Li Shu no longer concealed his relationship with Feng Qinyun, and they also knew a little. Now that Li Shu abruptly wanted to make a move against Feng Qinyun, it conversely didn’t make sense to them.

“Just obey your orders,” Li Shu said with a cold face, then began writing a letter of appointment, looking for people to replace Feng Qinyun and his men’s posts.

Li Shu had always been extremely warm, and now that he suddenly had a cold face, it made those people afraid to disobey him. They nodded, and soon began working according to the orders.

Li Shu unexpectedly handled matters this swiftly and decisively. This gave Nie Yi a whole new level of respect for him. “Uncle, you have to be careful.”

Hearing Nie Yi call him uncle, Li Shu smiled and suddenly said, “Xiao Yi, do you and Jingchen want to move and live with me? Uncle might have to rely on your protection later.”

Where they lived truly wasn’t bad, but it certainly couldn’t compare to Li Shu’s. Nie Yi nodded. “Alright.”

“Then let’s return to pack up,” Li Shu said. When leaving, he even called those who had followed him to kill the zombie pig to act as his bodyguard.

He had always been someone with a cautious mind. Since he knew that Feng Qinyun wanted to harm him, he naturally couldn’t give Feng Qinyun any more chances.

When they reached his residence, Li Shu tossed out all of Feng Qinyun’s things immediately.

Nie Yi was a little shocked at this sight and couldn’t help but say, “I didn’t think that such a gentle person like uncle can be so firm.”

“I’m also a very decisive person,” Qi Jingchen suddenly said.

“If your lover betrayed you, what’ll you do?” Nie Yi asked, then stared closely at him.

“Castrate.” Qi Jingchen smiled while glancing at a certain part of Nie Yi.

Nie Yi’s face revealed delight and he kissed Qi Jingchen— wasn’t Qi Jingchen’s reaction recognising him as his lover?

As expected, people who experienced the apocalypse would become a little abnormal. Qi Jingchen reached out and pushed Nie Yi away— This was his first time seeing someone so excited from someone saying they wanted to ‘castrate’ him.

When Li Shu tossed out everything, Feng Qinyun arrived.

“Li Shu, what in the world is going on here?” Feng Qinyun looked at Li Shu with both confusion and indignance.

“Nothing much. I just want to break up with you,” Li Shu indifferently said while looking at Feng Qinyun.

“Why?” At this time, Feng Qinyun merely had anger in his eyes.

“Think about what you said in the hut up the mountain.” Li Shu looked at Feng Qinyun, his expression calm.

Feng Qinyun’s face instantly darkened. “You shadowed me?” He had always been very careful, so much that he didn’t even personally meet up with his girlfriend before the apocalypse. After all, he could obtain a lot of benefits when he dated Li Shu.

At that time, he even thought that he might spend his life with Li Shu. After all, Li Shu genuinely treated him very well.

But the apocalypse arrived.

During the apocalypse, the power of a secure base leader was extremely strong, yet Li Shu absolutely wouldn’t allow him to abuse his power. At the same time, a few other issues also appeared.

Several of his parents and relatives were in Yuncheng secure base. They wanted to obtain better treatment, but aside from Li Shu sending his family some things from what they had been allocated, he firmly refused to arrange a post for them.

And that girlfriend of his. At the start, he gave money every month and this woman was very content with her lot, but now it was the apocalypse.

This woman didn’t want to work to earn supplies, didn’t want to struggle and fight at the bottom-most rung of the secure base, so she threatened to inform Li Shu about them.

Compared to Li Shu, he truly did prefer that woman. After all, he always felt that he had to lower his head before Li Shu... Of course, the one he liked the most was his son.

At that time, he couldn’t restrain becoming moved and wanted to drag Li Shu down, then turn himself into the secure base chief.

If he became the secure base chief, then wouldn’t all the matters in the secure base be arranged by him? But this matter must be done carefully. After all, Li Shu was very prestigious in the secure base.

Sometimes he harboured guilt for Li Shu, but he was more ambitious.

After Feng Qinyun found out that the zombie pig was very powerful, he started out wanting to use the zombie pig to kill Li Shu, but he didn’t expect that this Nie Yi would arrive, and that Li Shu would be so nice to Nie Yi, even secretly revealing his intent to give this secure base to Nie Yi.

Nie Yi wasn’t that much younger than him; even if Li Shu wanted to hand over the secure base to someone else, why give it to Nie Yi rather than him?

Feng Qinyun felt unsatisfied, but didn’t dare show it on his face at all. At this time, his girlfriend just happened to look for him, so he went.

But how did Li Shu know what he said?

Feng Qinyun subconsciously began examining his clothes, suspecting that Li Shu had placed a tapping device or something on him.

“Considering that you were my dildo for eight years, I won’t look further into anything else. Leave ba,” Li Shu said. If it was the past him, he absolutely wouldn’t have said this, but after often seeing Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen act so intimate as if no one was around, saying this wasn’t the slightest pressure.

Feng Qinyun’s face was extremely marvelous. He always felt that Li Shu was so deeply in love with him, he would probably be sad and heartbroken if he lost him, yet he never expected Li Shu to actually toss him aside so coldly.

Did this person truly love him? Could it be that this person had genuinely treated him as that uh, something stick?

Feng Qinyun used to be very self-confident, but now he could no longer have such confidence— He honestly didn’t think Li Shu would actually act so heartlessly!

Li Shu no longer paid attention to Feng Qinyun and only ordered people to rope in Feng Qinyun’s subordinates who had been fired by him, and find people to watch all of them.

After Feng Qinyun was driven out by Li Shu, he didn’t have anywhere to go for a time because housing in the secure base was in short supply, so he could only return to his parents’ home.

His parents and relatives had already moved into a newly constructed storied building. They had always been dissatisfied with Li Shu, feeling that him not arranging relaxed work for them really wasn’t right, and also felt that Li Shu had led Feng Qinyun astray. As such, they were very picky with Li Shu and had never given him a good expression.

However, when Feng Qinyun returned this time and learnt about him breaking up with Li Shu, they unexpectedly weren’t happy at all and instead became annoyed. “Qingyun, are you stupid ah?! That Li Shu is a secure base chief, yet you didn’t capture him well!”

“That’s right ah, that Li Shu himself was willing to let you use him like a woman and you didn’t lose out at all, so why don’t you know how to coax him?”

“Qingyun, go back and give him an apology.”

...

When Feng Qinyun saw all of this, his face instantly turned cold.

He first got together with Li Shu, though it couldn’t be considered deep love, was at least slightly interested in Li Shu. Later when these people found out, they always spoke badly about Li Shu, saying that he looked down on them, which was what led to his impression of Li Shu becoming increasingly awful and even feel like Li Shu was using his position to force himself to stay with him.

As a result, now that he broke up with Li Shu, these people actually spoke like this!

Feng Qinyun entered his nephew’s room with an ugly expression, occupying this room and shutting everyone outside the door.

He didn’t slept, and in the current situation he couldn’t sleep at all, wanting to contact his subordinates while also afraid that Li Shu would always find someone to watch him...

After sitting alone on the bed for a long time, a couple raps rang out at Feng Qinyun’s window, yet there was no one outside at all.

Feng Qinyun frowned and opened the window, then a piece of paper suddenly fluttered in.
