Chapter 66

The next afternoon, when the chauffeur was almost there, Qiao also asked the Lingyu robot to take him to the door. A short while later, a flying car hovered over to pick him up.

This wasn't the first time the ride-hailing driver had taken this kind of order, but it was the first time he'd seen a pet get into the car so obediently. This housekeeping robot is so advanced, it looks just like a real person and can even take care of pets, it's really amazing!

This order is equivalent to more than a dozen of his previous orders. The pet seems quite obedient and even brought its own suitcase, which is interesting.

The employer who placed the order specifically emphasized that the original person could understand human speech, so there was nothing to be afraid of—this was truly amazing!

The driver guided the flying car onto the designated empty track and activated automatic mode. He was interested in talking to the original human: "Hey, little Yuan Yuan, your master said you can understand human speech. Can you really understand it?"

Another person was curious about him. He looked at the driver, puzzled, and tilted his head, trying to look cute.

Generally, when he tilts his head and acts cute, people in Cohen like him even more because it's a somewhat human-like gesture that shows he's not aggressive.

The driver's smile widened, and he continued to talk to Qiao, "Although your owner said you don't need a leash, there will be many people getting off the bus later. So, could you take the leash out of your suitcase and I'll fasten it for you to ensure your safety, okay?"

The driver was initially speaking to the original person tentatively. He always kept a rope in his car, and to ensure the successful completion of his mission, he would never open the car door without a tow rope. If the employer lost the original person, he would go bankrupt.

Not wanting to cause trouble for others, Qiao readily took out the tow rope, tied it around his chest, and fastened it himself. After completing the action, he gestured to the driver with his eyes: Is this okay?

The driver looked at him with admiration, his affection for Qiao Ye almost overflowing. He reached out tentatively to touch Qiao Ye's head, but Qiao Ye reached out and blocked his hand, shaking his head to indicate that he could not be touched.

The driver cupped his face in his hands and exclaimed incredulously, "My God, you're so smart! You can really understand what I'm saying! That's amazing!"

Joe was quite used to this kind of reaction. All he had to do was understand the Cohen language and show a little bit of human characteristics to get praise from others.

This survival mode is relatively simple, provided that there are no Cohen people here who eat the original humans.

He didn't lose himself in the praise. If this person praises him now, he might just go to a Yuanren hot pot restaurant after get off work and eat some delicious Yuanren meat.

Joe followed the driver off the bus to the station. It was a bit troublesome to bring Yuanren in; they had to go through a special passage.

Ji Feng's spaceship is delayed and we'll have to wait a while. The driver's task today is to safely deliver this original human to its owner.

The Ricciardo airship station is very large and is an important aviation hub. Joe even saw several people holding up support signs to welcome celebrities.

Qiao observed carefully and concluded that Ji Feng shouldn't be there; he was just passing by to pick him up. Today's schedule wouldn't involve Lizhou.

But Qiao forgot that besides Ji Feng being a celebrity, he, as a native, was also a celebrity native.

Although he doesn't follow the path of a celebrity, people's impression of him is still tied to Ji Feng, and many people like him.

A young girl suddenly approached the driver excitedly and asked, "Excuse me, is this Qiao Ye?"

The middle-aged man, who didn't watch variety shows and didn't know who Qiao Ye was, asked, "Do you know the owner of this place?"

The girl continued, "Is his owner Ji Feng?"

The driver recalled the employer's name; the order on the platform didn't list his full name, only "Mr. Ji." He said, "I'm a deliveryman and driver. This is Mr. Ji's address. I'm taking him to the station."

The girl suddenly became excited and started dancing around, which startled the driver, who quickly pulled her to his side to protect her.

The girl pointed at the original person and took a bunch of holographic photos, screaming in the group chat where they were all chasing stars: "Ahhh, family, I met Joe in Zone D of the Rizhou spaceship station!" Holographic image jpg.

[I'm running this errand for Ji Feng to deliver Qiao Ye. I just need to wait here; I'll be seeing Xiao Feng Feng soon! I'm so excited!]

I'm so nervous! I need to get Fengfeng's autograph later, and damn it, I didn't bring any paper or pen!

The group is very active; many fans from the Lizhou area have been drawn out and are excitedly posting messages. Some even want to fly over immediately to see Ji Feng.

[Okay, wait ten minutes, I'll be right there. You brat, if Xiao Fengfeng gets here, you stall him, I want to see Fengfeng too!]

[Good luck, sis! You're going to start a live stream in the group right now, we want to watch!]

[I want to pet Qiao Ye. I love it so much! It can understand human speech, and it even has a terminal. If you let it add you to its communication network, that's the same as adding Ji Feng, and adding Ji Feng means you can contact Jiang Yi!]

[Ji Feng and Jiang Yi are currently filming together. Will Jiang Yi also be there?]

Qiao looked at the enthusiastic girl squatting in front of him and felt exposed. He hurriedly sent a message to Ji Feng, explaining that he and Ji Feng had been recognized by fans and asking him to be careful.

The girl kept trying to get close to him, attempting to touch his face and hair, but Joe refused.

Seeing that he was also refused, the driver felt better and said, "This thing is very clever. I just tried to touch it, and it wouldn't let me either."

The girl exclaimed in surprise, her face beaming: "Really? It's very intelligent and aloof. You'll know if you've seen its variety show. It even saved a child from drowning and can solve Rubik's Cubes. It's amazing!"

The driver exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't know that. He's actually a famous primitive. No wonder he's so smart."

Ji Feng replied to his message, saying that the spaceship was delayed and would arrive in half an hour.

While waiting, Qiao also witnessed the speed of the fans. Before Ji Feng even arrived, a group of young men and women found Qiao and surrounded him.

The driver sensed the pressure and shielded Joe behind him, organizing the order: "Back up! Back up! Don't scare it. Be careful. If it bites or scratches you, I won't be responsible. I'm just a deliveryman!"

Qiao underestimated Ji Feng's influence. Because of the crowd, it quickly attracted attention. Before long, everyone knew that a celebrity was coming, and those who knew Ji Feng immediately stopped to watch.

Joe clearly felt himself in the holographic photography. He felt a hot, suffocating sensation, and was forced to be touched here and there.

One fan even approached him and asked, "Joe, are you from Cohen?"

This person is clearly a true fan; they watched the variety show.

Finally, Ji Feng came out, and the crowd surged toward him, who was wearing a mask and a hat, with fans shouting.

With the help of his assistant, Ji Feng pushed through the crowd and brought Qiao over. The driver completed the fare and quickly withdrew, breathing a sigh of relief.

Ji Feng was surrounded by people asking for autographs and photos. As a celebrity, it's necessary to pamper his fans, after all, they are a group of people who like him.

However, it's inevitable that some people will lose their temper. One fan suddenly pulled on Qiao Ye's leash and dragged Qiao Ye out.

Ji Feng hadn't been holding the leash tightly, because Qiao Ye didn't usually need it; it was just for show. But he hadn't expected someone to snatch Qiao Ye from him.

After the fan pulled Qiao Ye out, Qiao Ye felt someone pulling him and immediately became alert and untied the leash. However, he was squeezed into the crowd, which posed a risk of stampede.

Ji Feng was anxious to get everyone's attention to his original position, and some fans noticed and promptly picked Qiao up and pushed her out.

Now many airships have landed, and numerous passengers are coming and going. The original human holding Qiao Ye is also anxious to send the original human back.

Just as his fans were wondering what to do with their arms around him, another person came over and said, "Give it to me, I'll take it inside."

Then Qiao was inexplicably handed over to someone else. He then discovered that although this person was running in the direction of Ji Feng, they bypassed Ji Feng's location and took Qiao out of the spaceship station.

Joe was speechless. Someone was actually blatantly stealing the original from the site!

Qiao immediately sent a message to Ji Feng, telling him to call the police.

The men who robbed him put Joe in the car and sped away. Luckily, it wasn't a speeding car, but just an off-road vehicle.

This person clearly knew Qiao Ye. He was very excited and spoke into the terminal: "I pulled off a big hit at the site today. I found a celebrity's original work. Do you guys want to see it?"

Qiao immediately judged that this was a vain, law-averse, and thrill-seeking rebellious teenager who drove the SUV like a speeding car, honking the horn incessantly.

At a traffic light at an intersection, as soon as the SUV stopped, Joe opened the door, quickly jumped over the road railing, and passed through the roadside woods.

He glanced back at the original human trafficker, who, realizing he had run away, got out of his car and tried to chase after him. However, the cars behind him kept honking, so the original human trafficker had no choice but to get back into his car reluctantly.

Joe wasn't sure if the human traffickers would catch up, so he ran into the depths of the woods without looking back.

He walked through the alleys, roads, streets, and shopping malls where people lived, making sure no one was following him. Then he came to a park bench under a big tree with surveillance cameras and sent Ji Feng his location.

Ji Feng is really unreliable, Qiao shook her head.

After all that fuss, it's already past nine o'clock at night, and my stomach is growling with hunger.

He's currently dressed as a pet and wanders freely among the food stalls in the mall. If he's discovered to be lost, he might be detained by well-meaning animal lovers.

People treat homeless people differently than homeless people with owners. His current appearance is nothing like that of a homeless person.

Ji Feng called him, and Qiao also switched to private mode so that no one could see him using the device. Ji Feng was also very anxious: "Don't move, I'm coming right away. Go to the nearest police station and wait for me right now, understand? Don't hang up the phone..."

Why go to the police station? It's too much trouble. Calling the police could expose him, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Ji Fang.

Qiao also hung up the call. Someone in the park brought Yuanren over, wanting to play with him, but Qiao walked away; he wasn't in the mood right now.

One side of the park is a large bridge. There is relatively little traffic in this area. It is nighttime now, and the bridge is brightly lit, making it a beautiful sight.

Qiao was also on the bridgehead, looking at the water below, quietly waiting for Ji Feng to come and pick him up.

Looking from one end of the bridge to the other, it seems endless. The streetlights stretch out like a tapestry. When you look up to see the stars in the sky, they are obscured by the human light, as if starlight has been scattered across the earth.

Technological advancements have made cities too cold and rigid. Qiao also misses the pristine rural life of his grandparents' home when he was a child, when fireflies could be seen at night.

According to the map, Ji Feng should be coming from the other side of the bridge to pick him up, and Qiao kept glancing around.

Qiao had been waiting for over twenty minutes without seeing Ji Feng come over, unsure of his arrangements.

I sent him a message explaining that I was surrounded by fans and missed the flight time, and told him not to worry.

If the owner knew he had been kidnapped, he would definitely be there in five minutes.

The kidnapper who abducted him will be found in ten minutes, and his accomplices will be arrested as well!

He missed his master on the first day he left.
