"Are you sure this is the person you're talking about who reported the crime?"

This was the first time in all his years of handling cases that Lord He had been surrounded by a group of cats, especially since his subordinates told him that these cats were "the people who reported the case."

"The person reporting the crime, how can I describe the person reporting the crime to you... First of all, they have to be a person!"

Lord He pinched the bridge of his nose and waved for him to leave. "I'm busy enough here, don't cause trouble. Go to the kitchen and find some food for these cats."

It must have been hungry to come to Dali Temple begging for food with something in its mouth; it must have been quite a hardship for them.

Upon hearing the word "eat," the cats' eyes lit up; their leader really hadn't lied to them. This way, they could trade with humans for food!

They want to be cat heroes too!

The kittens live just to make a living, and since Lord He is so generous, the kittens naturally have to show him their strength.

The chubby orange cat pushed the small porcelain bottle, which rolled to Lord He's feet.

Lord He thought it was the cat's claws deliberately pushing the small bottle to play with it, but when he picked up the bottle, he realized there was a problem.

As he approached the bottle, he smelled a familiar fragrance, which became even stronger after he opened the stopper.

He looked at the chubby orange cat and the others with burning eyes and asked the officer who brought them, "Where did they bring these things from?"

The officer shook his head: "I don't know. We were on duty guarding the prison when these cats suddenly jumped over the wall and surrounded the prison. I observed them carefully and found something amiss, so I led them over."

These cats are really interesting. The cats I usually see are aloof, and you have to be polite if you want to pet them, otherwise they'll scratch you. But these cats are not only gentle, they also seem to understand human speech!

Lord He knew that His Majesty had a royal cat that roamed the palace with impunity, and even the Empress and Empress Dowager turned a blind eye to it. He carefully examined the chubby orange cat and finally found a delicate little gold tag on its long fur and fat chin.

The gold medal is small and delicate, about the size of a man's fingernail. It won't get stuck when the cat is climbing up and down, which shows that the owner put a lot of thought into it.

If you look closer, you can see that there are engravings on the gold medal.

Lord He is very familiar with the content that was engraved!

"This is His Majesty's personal seal!" Lord He exclaimed in surprise. "Are you the Imperial Cat?"

How did this ancestor end up at Dali Temple?

The chubby orange cat nodded proudly, "I already told you it's a cat with only an identity!"

It impatiently pointed to the other evidence and quickly took it to see the little fish, as it had important matters to discuss!

Even if the things the Imperial Cat brought were trash, Lord He had to keep them safe; its owner was not someone to be trifled with. But the more he looked at them, the more envious he became…

A bottle suspected of containing poison, a half-burnt note, broken teacups, bloodstained strips of cloth...

So this is really a "reporter"!

"Meow!"

After taking two steps outside, the chubby orange cat stopped and barked twice at Lord He. Why couldn't this human keep up with him?

The official approached Lord He and boldly guessed, "Did the Imperial Cat ask you to follow?"

Lord He flicked his sleeve and ran out with the chubby orange cat. At that moment, the Imperial Cat called out!

Flattery!

Chiu Chiu's little face was rubbed raw, making her look like a little kitten. Straw was piled on her head, and her eyes were lifeless, radiating the sadness of losing her big chicken leg...

The food at Dali Temple is really awful!

Su Yunyi clumsily fed Qiuqiu with a small spoon, saying, "Good girl, have one more bite."

Thirteen ate indifferently as if he had no sense of taste, while Jin Fengnian slurped up the extremely salty chicken leg with gusto.

Chirp closed her eyes in pain and waved her little hand: "Bubbles!"

[Just poison me already!]

Logically speaking, Su Yunyi should have gone against his conscience and coaxed Qiuqiu to eat a little more, since children need to grow, and how could they not eat? However, those who have tasted the food here say that sometimes you still need to have a conscience.

"I will have someone send you back to your residence. Lord He will not make things difficult for you."

Jin Fengnian, who was slurping a chicken leg across from him, suddenly stopped. "Hey, could you have your sister tell my dad and uncle when she gets home? Just say I'm doing fine here."

Su Yunyi: "Do you think she looks like she can talk?"

This girl can only utter single words, and sometimes she's not even fluent enough.

Never mind, I won't make things difficult for the child.

Jin Fengnian suddenly felt that even chicken legs didn't taste good anymore. "I've never been away from home for this long in my life. My dad and my uncle must be worried sick."

His words suddenly made Su Yunyi feel sad, realizing that his mother must be just as worried at home.

He lowered his head slightly, and a question lingered as he touched the chicken leg. "Jin Fengnian, can I ask you a question?"

"explain."

The carefree young man had switched from eating chicken legs to eating straws. His peach blossom eyes, which were usually hidden by his nouveau riche air, were slightly narrowed, giving him a somewhat unrestrained air.

Su Yunyi asked hesitantly, "You said this chicken leg tastes awful, how did you manage to swallow it?"

Jiu Jiu nodded emphatically, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Jin Fengnian. This guy was definitely ruthless!

Jin Fengnian scoffed, saying that people who have never experienced hardship are making a fuss over nothing.

Do you know why my father goes around scheming and shamelessly befriending powerful and influential people?

Do you really think the Jin family are all shameless and thick-skinned?

Su Yunyi: "Because I need to pave the way for you?"

Chirp: [Because you're useless?]

"Pah!" Jin Fengnian jumped up on the spot, "What kind of eyes do you two have!"

"That's because they're terrified of being poor!"

Jin Fengnian's mood suddenly plummeted. "I drank white porridge mixed with sand for half a year, gnawed on tree bark, and chewed on dry grass. When I was extremely hungry, I would dig out a few mouthfuls of snow to fill my stomach. The icy snow water flowed into my stomach, making my whole body numb from the cold."

Chiu Chiu lowered her head in shame; she truly deserved to die!

They're already so pitiful, and you're still calling them trash!

With tears in her eyes, she reached out her hand to Jin Fengnian, [Here's a hug for you, and may this kiss bring you good luck!]

Through the railing, Jin Fengnian used his finger to stop Qiuqiu from getting closer. He could feel Qiuqiu's sympathy, but he didn't need it.

Now he is extremely wealthy and can be the one to give alms.

"No hugging."

Chuchu: "Huh?"

Su Yunyi: "You'll regret it if you don't hug me."

Jin Fengnian waved his hand: "You'll regret it if you hug me."

Looking at Qiuqiu, whose mood had suddenly become even more depressed than his, Jin Fengnian whispered, "You haven't showered for days, don't you find yourself smelling bad?"

Chirp: ()

The chubby boy raised his hand to cover his nose and slowly backed away, walking unsteadily but resolutely.

Jin Fengnian said coolly, "Your brother smells too."

Chirp: [I'm leaving again!]

Su Yunyi was helpless; where could she hide in such a small place?

Suddenly, Chirp fluttered forward twice before collapsing onto the thick straw. Su Yunyi was startled and just as he picked her up, the door was opened.

The chubby orange cat charged in first, its imposing presence proclaiming solemnly: "We will not fail in our mission; we will expose the criminals!"
