Joss stared at Lin Xun with a cold, expressionless face.

He pretended not to understand anything, nestled in the cage, yawned, and became drowsy.

Lin Xun was very patient. He smiled slightly and said, "I know you can understand, little blue cat. Give me a response, and I'll let you eat something delicious."

Joss completely ignored Lin Xun and simply closed his eyes to go to sleep.

Lin Xun chuckled softly and reached out to pat Joss's head.

Then, the next moment, Joss scratched a deep bloody gash on the back of his fair hand!

Joss stared at Lin Xun with great vigilance, making a snarling sound, looking like he was about to explode.

It seemed to react like a normal cat, not like it could understand human language.

Lin Xun's assistant researcher exclaimed, "Dr. Lin! You're injured! I'll arrange for you to get vaccinated right away!"

Lin Xun smiled faintly and said in a low voice, "It's alright, the kitten is communicating with me."

Assistant: "..." Are you sure? There was absolutely no communication, okay? It was an attack instead.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips curved up. "Little Blue Cat, with such a bad attitude, aren't you afraid that I won't feed you and will let you starve to death?"

Joss continued to fawn over people, acting as if he didn't understand what they were saying at all.

Because Joss knew that once he responded to Lin Xun's words, it would prove that Lin Xun could indeed understand human speech!

This is very dangerous for Joss, so he has to play dumb no matter what.

The sillier the better...

Lin Xun didn't think so. He really wanted to communicate with Qiao Si and get more valuable research data from him.

"Hmm, it's okay. It's fine if you don't want to talk to me right now. As for feelings, I can work with you to cultivate them." Lin Xun smiled gently, as if he was ready to fight a long-term battle with Qiao Si.

Joss: "..." He really hated Lin Xun, that two-legged beast!

Lin Xun continued talking to Qiao Si, regardless of whether he responded or not.

Assistant: "..." Dr. Lin might have a bit of a screw loose.

Forget it, I'd better not remind you.

How can a cat understand what humans are saying?

The cats escaping into the researcher's clothes earlier was probably just a coincidence...

Lin Xun didn't think so; he was convinced that Qiao Si would understand what he was saying.

It's just a matter of whether or not one is willing to respond to what he says.

***

A few days later.

An uninvited guest suddenly arrived at Qiao He's place.

It's General Manager Li.

Mr. Li chose to come over at the "coolest" time of the evening.

A whole row of bodyguards in black stood around him, neatly arranged in two rows, surrounding Mr. Li, who was enjoying the air conditioning in his car.

The bodyguard called out loudly, "Miss Qiao! Please open the door, our CEO Li is here to see you."

Mr. Li thoroughly enjoyed being the center of attention. He took a sip of his iced coffee and said to the bodyguard, "Just tell her I brought a lot of supplies for her."

The bodyguard respectfully replied, "Yes, Mr. Li!"

"Miss Qiao! Are you home? Please open the next door. Our CEO, Mr. Li, has a lot of supplies that he's prepared for you!"

In the basement, Qiao He stared at the security camera with an expression that looked as if she had eaten shit.

This Mr. Li is so persistent.

And he's such a sycophant...

Don't you know that simps end up with nothing?

Qiao He thought that this CEO Li might really have something wrong with his head!

She didn't intend to pay any attention to Mr. Li, but when the bodyguards showed her the supplies he had brought—

Qiao He immediately took a liking to that exquisite and compact gun!

Qiao He's pupils contracted slightly as she asked the "Playing it Off System" in surprise: "Good heavens, that idiot CEO Li has a gun? He's got guts!"

[There are actually channels to purchase guns!]

Qiao He's eyes lit up immediately; she decided to go and meet that President Li.

"It's normal for Mr. Li's family to have connections since three generations of his family were involved in organized crime, but it's a bit strange that he pulled out a gun at this critical juncture," the "Resigned System" said in a low voice.

Qiao He calmed down and thought about it, and she also found it strange.

Although Mr. Li seems to be very love-obsessed, the people around him probably aren't.

Could it be...?

What kind of traps are there?

Qiao He narrowed her eyes slightly and continued to observe President Li and his bodyguards.

So the bodyguards outside kept shouting for Qiao He to open the door.

They called for a good ten minutes, but Qiao He still didn't open it.

Instead, the residents around Qiao He opened their doors and peered towards Mr. Li's direction.

When they saw the huge pile of supplies!

Their eyes were red, staring enviously at President Li's greasy face.

Several women even tried to seduce President Li, hoping he would give them some of the supplies!

After all, those scarce resources are really hard to buy even if you have money. Even if you have a way to buy them, they are all sold at exorbitant prices!

Everyone was envious of those supplies...

Before long, a family actually mustered up the courage to step forward.

They were a couple; they were of above-average looks, and the woman had an excellent figure with a unique mature charm.

The man, on the other hand, looks like a social elite.

During this period, the two of them suffered a lot, and their cheeks became sunken from hunger.

The woman and the man stepped forward together. The woman used all her charms, acting as seductive as a vixen, and acted as if she had seen a god of wealth as soon as she saw President Li.

Speaking in a sweet, high-pitched voice, she said with a suggestive smile, "President Li~ Although I don't know why you like Qiao He, I'm not bad either."

"Mr. Li, do you think I'm alright? If you don't like me, my husband is fine too."

After saying that, the woman grabbed the elite man's arm and pushed him in front of President Li.

Mr. Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and exploded in anger: "I am not from Nantong!"

"Get out! Get out of my sight, my Queen!" Mr. Li said angrily, ordering his bodyguards to throw the couple aside.

The couple refused to leave, especially the woman, who pleaded, "Mr. Li! Please, we just want something to eat! We can't survive like this anymore, we're almost out of food!"

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Li, we didn't know you weren't into that kind of thing. So, how about me? Do I have a chance, Mr. Li?!"

"I can do anything! Whatever you ask for, I can fulfill it!" The woman said, while giving Mr. Li a flirtatious look. She was a real charmer.

She even deliberately had her bodyguard tear her clothes, revealing her beautiful long legs.

Mr. Li's eyes widened in admiration, and the woman felt there was a chance!

He rushed out, but lost his balance and fell face-first onto the supplies in the trunk.

The woman was extremely excited. She had just shouted, "Mr. Li! I can do it!"

As long as you give her the supplies, she can do it!

Unfortunately, just one second later—

The woman smelled a strange odor from the supplies, and the next second she completely lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground...

Qiao He: "???"
