# Chapter 1093: That Thought Process is Ridiculously Twisted
After hanging up the video call, Chi Shinnosuke called Chi Kana.
He needed to carefully consider what kind of disturbance to cause within the Yashiro Conglomerate. It couldn't be too severe, or Entaro Yashiro would likely leave the Cruise Ship and rush back. It also couldn't be too light, or he wouldn't have the opportunity to get more passwords.
Moreover, he didn't have enough personnel available, so this time, he had to ask his wife for help.
Before long, Chi Kana personally arrived at the Umbrella office building. She entered the office, pulled up a chair opposite Chi Shinnosuke, her face devoid of its usual smile, her gaze filled with scrutiny.
Chi Shinnosuke's expression was calm, and in his heart, he began to silently reflect on where the problem lay.
Did she think he shouldn't let the child get involved in these matters?
His wife didn't even know how dark their son's heart was. If things didn't go his way, he'd give someone an 'Unable to Refuse Condition'. If things didn't go his way, he'd say 'Kill them'... No, his wife knew, but in his wife's heart, their son was still that pure and kind.
Then, it was possible she thought he was wrong to let their son get involved in the Yashiro Family's grievances.
After a moment, Chi Kana suddenly sighed and said softly, "Husband, you've worked hard."
A question mark slowly appeared in Chi Shinnosuke's mind. "?"
"I know you want to cooperate with Chi Feichei's treatment, but you shouldn't get too deeply involved," Chi Kana continued in a gentle voice. "Of course, if he insists he can curse Entaro Yashiro and Yashiro Takie to death, then we'll just assume he can curse them to death. I'll pretend I believe it too... No, not pretend, I believe you both, and I will provide full cooperation."
Chi Shinnosuke understood where the problem was.
The Yashiro Family members were still alive and kicking. If he suddenly said the father and daughter were about to die, who would believe it?
He believed it. He had some knowledge of how strange his son was, to the point where he almost started researching metaphysics.
But his wife didn't know. So, it was normal for her to suspect that both father and son had lost their minds.
Never mind, he wouldn't explain for now. No matter whether it was 'pretending to believe' or 'truly believing', cooperation was enough.
After pondering for a bit, Chi Shinnosuke said, "Even if Entaro Yashiro and Yashiro Takie are fine, as long as Chi Feichei can find out the place where the Yashiro Conglomerate keeps their secret files and get the password there, he can still have a gain."
Chi Kana pondered and nodded. "Also correct. Taking advantage of their high-profile Cruise Ship trip, it is possible to play some tricks. But can Chi Feichei find it?"
"Whether there's a gain or not doesn't matter. Even if he suffers a loss and is tricked, consider it experience gained," Chi Shinnosuke said, silently adding in his heart.
Although it was experience gained through strange and crooked methods, being able to steal someone's commercial secret data... that could also be considered a type of ability...
"No, it matters," Chi Kana looked at Chi Shinnosuke with a serious face. "If he doesn't get anything at all, what if he feels discouraged?"
Chi Shinnosuke wanted to talk to his wife about education problems. This was purely not caring about what she should care about and blindly spoiling him in areas she shouldn't. "Kana..."
Chi Kana continued to look at Chi Shinnosuke with a serious face.
Chi Shinnosuke felt a wave of helplessness in his heart. If it could be corrected, they wouldn't have been in a cold war for so many years. Moreover, the child had already been raised astray. He had known for a long time that Chi Kana was now facing things with the mentality of 'it doesn't matter if the child messes everything up'. "Don't worry, he won't be easily discouraged. Moreover, I promise, he will get some gain, no matter how small."
Chi Kana nodded, was silent for a while, and her voice became even softer. "Shinnosuke, before, I received a disc with a video about Chi Feichei. He was alone in the laboratory, with an indifferent expression, unhurriedly biting small animals to death one by one..."
Chi Shinnosuke: "..."
Was his child's mentality this distorted? It refreshed his understanding a bit.
"I've already destroyed the disc. The package that was sent had no sender information on it. Someone must have put it in my private mailbox at my residence. Not many people know about this mailbox, but I couldn't find out who put it there," Chi Kana felt much lighter afterwards. Pondering, she said slowly, "There was no extortion content in the letter, not even any other things. You say, what kind of person could the other party be? And for what purpose did they give me this kind of thing?"
"Chi Feichei is very careful. He wouldn't easily let others see or film these things," Chi Shinnosuke pondered. "To get this, it's very possible it's people from the organization. As for the purpose, it's hard to make a judgment at the moment. Let's wait and see. The other party hasn't made any request, so there should be follow-up actions. Then the situation will become much clearer... Have you told Chi Feichei about this matter?"
"No, I don't know how to say it," Chi Kana's gaze was complex. "Should I tell him, 'Mother already knows you like to bite small animals to death'?"
Chi Shinnosuke: "..."
That's true. They left the child behind first, and the bitter fruit now was that they couldn't be as close to the child as other parents, talking about everything. Asking him to say 'Son, I know how distorted your inner self is' would be quite awkward. He was also afraid that the kid might suddenly become sensitive and overthink things.
It's better to wait a bit longer and get closer in their relationship slowly before talking about it...
"Unless I give him a car full of small animals," Chi Kana pondered. "He seemingly prefers biting white fuzzy small animals, like bunnies, laboratory mice..."
Chi Shinnosuke: "..."
His wife's thought process is ridiculously twisted!
"Kana, wait a bit first. If you don't know how to tell him about this matter, I'll chat with him another day... Let's still talk about the Yashiro Conglomerate's matter."
...
Tokyo, Japanese-style residence.
Chi Feichei was distributing tasks.
"Feimo, arrange six smart crows, three per team, two teams rotating. One will take Xiao Mei's doll body to find Yashiro Enzaburo. No matter where Yashiro Enzaburo goes, make sure Xiao Mei's main body stays within ten meters of him, ensuring Xiao Mei can be invisible or appear beside Yashiro Enzaburo. One will be responsible for lookout. Once the crow carrying Xiao Mei's main body runs into trouble, it must be responsible for taking Xiao Mei's main body away, ensuring Xiao Mei's main body safety. The last one will stay further away, responsible for confirming the situation. If the other two crows and Xiao Mei lose contact, it must provide the situation before they lost contact, making it convenient for us to search or provide support."
This was to prevent Yashiro Enzaburo from sensing that the crows had problems and suddenly taking action against them.
Although with Yashiro Enzaburo's mind, he probably wouldn't think the crows had problems, it was still necessary to prepare for a contingency.
"Xiao Mei, you are responsible for scaring Yashiro Enzaburo, making his mental state on the edge of collapse. Be careful not to scare him crazy. Then I'll talk to him."
"Scare people?" Xiao Mei's soul body stood beside the computer, hair disheveled. "But I don't know how."
Chi Feichei looked up at Xiao Mei. Her appearance was scary, but it wasn't enough, at least he didn't find it scary. He simply opened the computer next to him. "Noah, find some horror movies for Xiao Mei to reference."
Sawada Hiroki was full of enthusiasm. "Okay, Godfather!"
Being tasked with a prank to scare people, he must take it seriously.
Chi Feichei used the computer in front of him to open the map of Tokyo and drew black circles on some locations. "Nameless, your task is to take the cat to investigate these places. Cooperate with the birds. It would be best if you could find their research sites and the places where they store secret files."
Nameless looked at the computer screen, considered a bit. "Some offices are between buildings, making it hard for us to sneak in. But with the birds cooperating, it won't be a problem. It will probably take three days to finish the search."
"Feimo, you will cooperate with Nameless on the search these few days. Places the cat can't conveniently go will be entrusted to you. When you are not convenient to operate at night, or in places with very dim light, entrust to Nameless and them," Chi Feichei continued to draw circles on the map, but this time the circles were red. "While searching, by the way, pick up the blood bottles at these locations, and then send half to Koizumi Akako..."
Koizumi Akako's face lit up. She hadn't gone out recently, and couldn't resist the temptation of blood again, asking him to pick up some blood when he had time, and split it fifty-fifty.
"We'll first search through the assets inside and outside the city area of Tokyo and West Tama City," Chi Feichei summarized. "For places further away, Feimo will have the crows lead the investigation. No need to rush. Search as much as you can. It doesn't matter if there's no gain. Consider it training soldiers..."
During this time, he also had to handle the investigation of Akai Shuichi and have Rum prepare for the action.
Even if there wasn't the matter of Akai Shuichi, it was best for him not to run around everywhere, lest The Boss sense that he could control Umbrella.
He was just a nominal advisor who couldn't interfere with the family business, and all development and decisions were made by his parents. This persona must be maintained, lest The Boss gets ideas about Umbrella.
"Ah!"
Aside, Xiao Mei, who was watching the horror video, let out a scream. The head of her doll body, which was placed on the ground, also detached from the body and rolled towards the wall corner.
Feimo, Nameless, and Feichi were startled. Those who should have their fur stand on end did so, and those who should raise their heads did so.
"Sorry," Xiao Mei said faintly. "That ghost just appeared. It was so scary."
Feimo, Nameless, Feichi, Sawada Hiroki: "..."
Xiao Mei's appearance was clearly much scarier than the ghost inside...
Never mind, they were all their own little partners. Don't expose each other's awkwardness.
"I see."
Chi Feichei got up and sat down in front of the computer next to him. He clicked continue playback, finished watching the video, and then continued to watch the next video that Sawada Hiroki had found. He didn't feel it was scary, but when he looked over, he saw Xiao Mei trembling aside and felt it was necessary to find a way for Xiao Mei to be scary that she can manage.
...
That night, at Yashiro Enzaburo's house.
Yashiro Enzaburo, his son and daughter-in-law, and his daughter and son-in-law gathered together to discuss the upcoming trip.
"Anyway, Uncle won't invite us to this kind of opportunity to be in the limelight..."
"But unexpectedly, Yingren actually had a heart disease attack while driving and just fell off the cliff like that..."
"Alright, no need to talk about Yingren's matter anymore," Yashiro Enzaburo stopped the juniors from discussing, put down his cutlery, and got up. "No matter whether we need to attend or not, we must be well prepared. I'm full, you all continue."
Outside the house, a crow with a black cloth bag hanging around its neck stopped on the rooftop of the Yashiro Family's Japanese-style residence. It cawed twice in the night.
Yashiro Enzaburo looked up at the night sky, didn't find any abnormality, and returned to his study. He found the window was open, and there was a cup of tea still steaming on the table. He immediately became furious and had the butler summon all the servants.
Yashiro Enzaburo's children were startled. Knowing that Yashiro Enzaburo hated others messing with things in his study the most, they immediately advised Yashiro Enzaburo to calm down.
What puzzled them was that after asking around, no one admitted to having been to Yashiro Enzaburo's study. The household servants either weren't free to come over or all had an alibi witness. There were a few suspects, but they couldn't confirm who did it.
