Chapter 187 is about that cat.

"Is it Comrade Zhong Wan's...special cat?"

Director Qin looked at Pang Wenyao and confirmed in a steady tone.

"Um."

Pang Wenyao nodded slightly, his expression somewhat subtle: "It should be. It just threatened me, telling me not to bother its parents, or it would bite me. It even bared its teeth at me after saying that."

He paused, then added, "Oh right, it just urged Ah Gui to bring water upstairs; it must be Comrade Zhong Wan waking up."

"woke up?!"

Director Qin was overjoyed; this was far more important to him than the talking cat!

He immediately made a decision: "The medical team will go up first to conduct a preliminary examination to ensure Comrade Zhong Wan's health."

Director Qin paused for a moment, then added, "Watch your attitude, don't disturb Comrade Zhong Wan and... that cat."

"yes!"

Duan Yefang immediately agreed and led the medical team members upstairs first.

Director Qin turned his head to look at Pang Wenyao, then at the people behind him, and continued to instruct, "You all wait downstairs first."

"Don't let Comrade Zhong Wan come up until his health is guaranteed."

After saying that, Director Qin also started walking upstairs, but when he looked up, he saw Duan Yefang and the others standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor without moving. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yefang, why aren't you moving?"

Duan Yefang looked helpless upon hearing this: "Director Qin, what do you think?"

As she spoke, she tentatively reached out her hand.

Just as her hand touched the boundary line between the second and third floors, a subtle black mist slowly rippled out from the center of her palm, like an invisible wall that instantly blocked the space leading to the second floor.

Director Qin's eyes narrowed instantly, and he immediately realized what was going on.

His steps faltered, his gaze sharpening as he stared at the invisible barrier. This was no physical phenomenon he recognized; it was more like…

An existence with power similar to that of Mr. Du.

"It's that cat."

His voice was steady and his words were certain, but there was not much surprise in them.

After all, even Zhong Wan, who could draw ghosts and communicate between the living and the dead, and Du Qian, who had a thousand-year-old obsession, appeared.

So, the appearance of a cat that can set up barriers doesn't seem so unacceptable now.

What's more, this is Zhong Wan's cat, and it's in Zhong Wan's shop.

Duan Yefang withdrew her hand and nodded with a somewhat helpless expression: "It should be."

Director Qin pondered for a moment, then stepped forward.

He looked at the five-element barrier in front of him, then at the tightly closed door not far away, and said, "Comrade Zhong Wan, Yan An, I am Qin Yuan."

"I heard that Zhong Wan has woken up, so I brought a medical team to examine her and make sure she is in good health."

"If it's convenient, please allow us to go upstairs."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly enough.

In the bedroom, Zhong Wan was leaning against the headboard, drinking water from Lin Yan'an's hand.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but turn my head to look curiously.

Lin Yan'an frowned slightly and looked at Zhong Wan, saying in a low voice, "Want some more?"

Zhong Wan quickly shook her head: "No, you go out and take a look first."

【don't want! 】

Zhong Suisui, who was lying on Lin Yan'an's pillow, immediately raised her head, shaking her fluffy little head rapidly.

Mom needs to rest.

[Sui Sui hates it when two-legged creatures bother her parents!]

Seeing this, Zhong Wan couldn't help but chuckle. She raised her hand and patted Zhong Suisui's head, comforting her with a smile, "Mom knows Suisui means well, but they are doing it for Mom's own good. Director Qin and the others are here to help me with my medical check-up; they are not bad people."

Zhong Suisui raised her kitten head, tilted it slightly to look at Zhong Wan's expression, and wagged her tail somewhat reluctantly.

But they're so noisy...

Lin Yan'an raised his hand and put the cup back on the bedside table. He glanced at A-Gui, who was standing in the corner looking aggrieved, and then at Zhong Sui-Sui, who was hogging his pillow.

When they met again, although he cared more about Zhong Wan, he did not ignore Zhong Suisui's presence.

Right now, he could clearly sense that Zhong Suisui... seemed to have become more composed, but her words and actions had become more willful.

At the very least, it wouldn't have set up a barrier without permission before.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan'an reached out and gently tapped Zhong Sui Sui's little head, gently reminding her, "Sui Sui, be good."

"Director Qin and the others are worried about your mother's health. It's not good for them to keep guarding outside. Your mother isn't getting enough rest either. Why don't they come in and check her out as soon as possible? If there's nothing wrong, they can leave quickly."

"That way, your mother can rest properly and recover faster, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Suisui glanced at Lin Yan'an, then at Zhong Wan, hesitated for a moment, pawing at Lin Yan'an's pillow, and then reluctantly agreed.

【Meow~ Okay then.】

Its tail swung twice more rapidly, and wisps of faint black mist instantly appeared at the tip of its tail.

The black mist rose rapidly, as if it had found its direction, circled in the air, and then flew away with a whoosh.

Seeing this, Lin Yan'an and Zhong Wan exchanged a glance.

"I'm going out to take a look."

"good."

After receiving Zhong Wan's response, Lin Yan'an reached out and tucked her in before getting up and walking towards the door.

At the entrance to the second-floor staircase

Director Qin and the others saw the black mist that suddenly appeared, and then they looked at how the black mist fell into the invisible barrier, like a drop of water falling into a calm surface.

It rippled outwards in an instant, then vanished without a trace.

The same is true of this invisible barrier in front of us.

In the blink of an eye, the stairwell returned to normal.

"It's really gone!"

Duan Yefang subconsciously reached out to test the waters, and after not feeling any resistance, she couldn't help but turn to look at Director Qin in surprise.

His expression remained calm, but a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.

In an instant, he returned to normal.

He took the lead and went up to the second floor, followed closely by the others.

"Director Qin."

As soon as Lin Yan'an opened the door and stepped out of the room, she saw that Director Qin and his men had already come up.

He paused, looked at everyone, nodded slightly, and greeted them.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Director Qin walked up to Lin Yan'an, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled slightly: "Comrade Zhong Wan is awake, and your script has been approved. It's a double celebration."

In the past, Lin Yan'an would have been overjoyed to hear this news.

But right now, no matter how many good things happen, nothing seems to bring him more joy than her awakening.

Lin Yan'an smiled, her eyes filled with joy: "Thank you, Director Qin."

"We'll talk about the script later,"

He looked at Duan Yefang and said in a very polite tone, "Now, I'll trouble Director Duan to help examine Wanwan."
