Chapter 79 Winter Break You're the most beautiful Alp I've ever seen...
"ah!"
Wen Han's shout nearly scared Wen Ruan out of his wits. He woke up with a start and subconsciously looked towards the door.
The living room curtains weren't drawn, and moonlight streamed in, illuminating the person who entered. Wen Ruan's eyes widened, and she immediately recognized that the person was holding a syringe.
Wen Han thought this person was the thief Wen Qingke had mentioned, and shouted, "Thief! Catch the thief!"
There were no suitable weapons in the bedroom, so Wen Han picked up a photo frame from the bedside table and threw it out.
Fat Nail let out a fierce howl and pounced on the thief, but the thief didn't move, probably stunned by the cat.
Wen Han was initially relieved; with Fei Nai'er around, how could she not catch the thief? But then, as Fei Nai'er lunged at her, the thief jabbed the syringe directly into her!
Fat Nai'er immediately froze. The thief grabbed the cat and ran away. Only then did Wen Han realize that this person was actually a cat thief.
Wen Ruo was awakened by the screams. Hearing that it was a thief, he quickly ran out and grabbed a clothesline from the wall, just as he bumped into the cat thief who was about to leave.
"Wen Ruo, don't let him get away!" Wen Han immediately turned on the light. The cat thief was completely covered in black, even his face was hidden, but Wen Han could still tell that he was a man.
The cat thief and Wen Ruo got into a fight. Originally, Wen Ruo should have been able to fight the cat thief to a standstill, but he had not yet recovered from his appendectomy, and he was at a disadvantage after a few moves.
Seeing Wen Ruo clutching her abdomen, the cat thief breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave. Before he could turn around, a sharp pain shot through his waist.
Wen Han held the stun gun expressionlessly, watching him fall to the ground.
He tore off the man's mask, revealing a completely unfamiliar face.
Fat Nai'er's eyes were half-open, but she had been given anesthesia. Wen Ruo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Strange, why would someone come here to steal a cat? If they were going to steal anything, they should steal money."
"Could it be a neighbor who lives nearby? They wanted to keep a cat but didn't want to spend money to buy one, so they came to our house to steal it."
Wen Han did take Fei Nai'er out for a walk during the holiday, but most people who steal cats would steal purebred cats, and Fei Nai'er was just an ordinary gray cat.
"Let's call the police first." Wen Han took a picture of the man's face. What kind of good person would steal a cat? Something's definitely not right.
It was already past midnight, and they had to go to school the next day. When they arrived at the police station and heard that they would have to give statements, they were all exhausted, both physically and mentally.
The cat thief was an ordinary-looking man who lived nowhere near their house. When the police asked him why he stole the cat, he insisted that he had been bewitched and simply wanted to keep a cat. He claimed he had now realized his mistake and was willing to pay compensation.
Wen Han naturally didn't believe a single word he said.
To outsiders, Fat Nail is just a very large cat, but to some people, she is not.
Could it be that Gu Yuan sent him to steal the cat?
——
Wen Han only slept for three hours that night, and her head was about to explode.
Jing Yu asked worriedly, "Wen Han, are you alright?"
Wen Han's eyelids looked like they were glued on; she couldn't open them no matter what she tried.
“A thief broke into the house last night,” Wen Han said. “He came to steal the cat. I suspect it was someone sent by Gu Yuan.”
But why did Gu Yuan send someone at this time? Wouldn't it be easier to steal the cat during the day when they're all at school? Or was the situation so sudden that they couldn't wait a moment longer...?
Wen Han was called on by the teacher several times during the class. After learning that a thief had broken into his house, the teacher had no choice but to let him wash his face to clear his head.
"Host, are you alright?"
"I can fall asleep standing up now."
The system exclaimed, "Look! Aren't those Gu Cheng and Zhang Yongqi?"
Wen Han suddenly realized that Gu Cheng's class was having a physical education class.
Gu Cheng and Zhang Yongqi were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice Wen Han quietly approaching.
Zhang Yongqi asked, "Still haven't found out who put it there?"
Gu Cheng scratched his hair in frustration: "No, the tracker is no longer working, and we don't know how much the other side knows."
Wen Han carefully hid behind the wall. He had previously stuck a tracking device inside Gu Cheng's clothes, but he didn't expect that Gu Yuan and the others had set up a laboratory in another city.
Where is the cat?
Gu Cheng shook his head, and Zhang Yongqi sighed: "You shouldn't have thrown that cat away back then; you should have just burned it."
"Back then, the effects of the drug were uncertain. We observed the cat for a whole day but it didn't react. We thought the drug had failed and threw it away. Who knew it would differentiate on its own later?"
Gu Cheng paused for a moment, then said, "The laboratory has been moved; all that's left is to destroy the evidence."
"Isn't Wen Ruan living at the Wen family's house? Let him find a chance to steal the cat out."
Gu Cheng shook his head: "No, we can't let Ruan Ruan know about this. Besides, what if that cat scratches him?"
Zhang Yongqi's expression was one of utter speechlessness.
It really was that bitch who did it. Wen Han thought, she probably suddenly discovered that she had a tracking device on her and was so scared that she quickly emptied her clothes.
"Wen Han, Wen Han."
Gu Cheng and the others frowned warily, and Wen Han got goosebumps. Why was Fang Songxia here at this time?
Fang Songxia has excellent eyesight and spotted Wen Han hiding behind the wall at a glance.
Wen Han quickly gestured to him, and Fang Songxia then noticed Gu Cheng over there. She pretended not to see Wen Han and walked over directly.
Gu Cheng called out to Fang Songxia, "What happened to Wen Han? Where is he?"
Fang Songxia blocked his view: "He's not feeling well, I came out to check on him, what's it to you?"
While Fang Songxia was provoking Gu Cheng, Wen Han quickly slipped away.
Zhang Yongqi saw Wen Han, but he didn't say anything.
Gu Cheng sneered, "Do you have a death wish to talk to me like that?"
Fang Songxia had long disliked Gu Cheng, and Zhang Yongqi stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Gu Cheng, forget it, don't bother with this kind of person."
He whispered, "We have other things to do, let's not waste our time on this kind of person."

"Are you alright?" Wen Han asked after class. "Did Gu Cheng give you any trouble?"
"I'm fine."
"You scared me to death! Why did you suddenly come looking for me?"
"The teacher asked me to come find you. He was worried that you had fallen asleep in the bathroom because you hadn't come back for so long."
Yang Lanjun said, "They suspected you were sleeping in the pool and were afraid you would drown."
Wen Han: "......"
Wen Han told Jing Yu what she had just heard. During morning self-study, Jing Yu sent someone to his house to temporarily bring Fei Nai'er to his house.
"How did you do that?" Wen Han asked in surprise. "I was worried that Fat Nai'er would attack people."
Jing Yu smiled and said, "I had someone find a calico cat with a good temperament."
...That's how it can be done.
——
For Fei Nai'er's safety, Wen Han had no choice but to place her in the Jing family's home.
Jing Feng heard that Wen Han's father had gone on a business trip, leaving only the children at home. He felt it was too unsafe and asked Wen Han to move in with the Jing family.
The thought that the cat thief had broken into the house so soon after Wen Qingke's business trip made Wen Han suspect that Gu Yuan had ordered Wen Qingke to stay away from home for more than a month so that they could take advantage of the situation.
A month or so would normally pass quickly for them, but Wen Qingke returned after only two holidays. However, Wen Qingke's business trip was to the north, where the snow had already covered the doors, forcing him to stay there for another month.
"We'll probably all be on holiday by the time my dad gets back," Wen Han said, eating roasted chestnuts. "Oh, and this is for you."
This is still the address the system had previously given him for his other children.
"Let's go see them during winter break," Wen Han thought for a moment and searched for the name of her idol, Fang Songxia.
Surprisingly, the two haven't broken up yet, and Fang Songxia has already decided to go on a beach vacation as soon as she has a break.
Jingyu leaned closer, her expression ambiguous, and asked, "You like him like this?"
"You mustn't mess with your brother's wife." Wen Han saw the face, the lower half of which resembled Gu Zong's. "But he's quite handsome, isn't he?"
This idol is the same age as Wen Han and the others, only a few months younger than Gu Cheng.
It turns out that Fang Songxia's boyfriend is named Ming Xingyan.
"Oh my, oh my!" Wen Han exclaimed excitedly as soon as she saw the name.
Jing Yu was puzzled, but still smiled obediently: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." This surname and this name seem quite reliable! Moreover, he's closer in age to Liu Chuanze.
“He’s an Alpha too,” Wen Han said with a smile. “And he’s Fang Songxia’s… friend, so he should be much less wary of us.”
Wen Han decided to go to Ming Xingyan's super topic to research his personality in advance.
"Golden melon." Wen Han was puzzled. "What does that mean?"
Jing Yu didn't seem happy and appeared quite listless. Wen Han simply attributed this to the competitive mentality of an Alpha and had no choice but to turn off her phone.
The system seemed quite pleased with itself, adding fuel to the fire: "Host, isn't it said that Alphas understand Alphas best? If you don't understand, just ask Jing Yu. He can definitely tell what kind of Alpha Ming Xingyan is."
With the air conditioning on and the house warm and cozy, Wen Han became increasingly casual at the Jing family's house. She was too lazy to think before she spoke and actually asked the question suggested by the system.
"Jingyu, what do you think of this person?"
Jing Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the warmth from the heater made both of their cheeks a little red. When the system saw him like this, it suddenly had a bad feeling.
“Very good,” Jing Yu said softly. “I think he is much better than me.”
Wen Han asked in surprise, "Why would you think that?"
“I’m not as good-looking as him, and he entered society and became independent at a very young age…” Jing Yu said pitifully, “Compared to him, do I seem very useless?”
system:"......"
“Impossible,” Wen Han said decisively. “You’re prettier than him.”
"Really?"
“Really,” Wen Han said earnestly, “You are the most beautiful Alpha I have ever seen.”
Seeing the smile return to Jing Yu's eyes, Wen Han breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as well.
The two leaned against each other again, looking at their phones and talking about everything.
The system silently increased the respirator's power.
*
Wen Han's hopes for a holiday due to heavy snow were dashed; it didn't snow until after the final exams were over.
Once New Year's Day was over, Jingyu would ask for leave from time to time, once a week.
Wen Han asked, "What did you go there for on leave?"
Jingyu smiled and handed him a blue booklet.
"Driver's license?" Wen Han asked in surprise, "So you went to take your driver's test?"
Jingyu is a year older than him, and she can take the driving test as soon as she turns 18.
"I've been thinking about it, and it wouldn't be very convenient to bring other people along," Jing Yu said with a smile. "For the sake of secrecy, it's best if it's just the two of us."
The system was too lazy to explain anymore. Wen Han thought it made a lot of sense; he was now a thorn in the side of Gu Cheng and the others.
