Chapter 68 A cat that can unlock locks?
the next day.
The plan officially begins.
As expected, Gu Chaoyu drove the conspicuous off-road vehicle to the fishing club on the outskirts of the capital with great fanfare.
And the other side.
An orange figure nimbly emerged from the bushes outside the Zhou family villa.
Lin Xiaomiao shook off the grass leaves on his body and looked up at the beautiful villa not far away.
In the yard, a little girl was chasing butterflies.
【Target appears! 】
[Orange Cat Agent, the action begins! ]
He took short steps, pretending to be pitiful and homeless, and quietly approached.
"Meow~"
He let out a soft and sticky cry.
The little girl was indeed attracted. She stopped and looked over curiously.
Lin Muci struck while the iron was hot, walked forward, and gently rubbed the little girl's trouser leg with his furry head.
Cuteness + kindness release is Fat Orange’s killer move.
Sure enough, the little girl's eyes lit up instantly.
"Wow! What a cute kitty!"
She reached out her hand carefully and touched Lin Xiaomiao's back.
Lin Xiaomiao fell to the ground, revealing his round belly, and wagged his tail cooperatively.
The little girl's heart was completely captured.
Unsurprisingly, Lin Xiaomiao was taken home by her.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Look, I found a kitten!"
Zhou Huaian walked out of the study upon hearing the sound. Seeing the chubby orange cat in his granddaughter's arms, a kind smile appeared on his face.
After obtaining his grandfather's consent, Lin Xiaomao successfully stayed in the Zhou family.
While playing with the little girl, he calmly observed the layout of the entire villa.
Finally, he found an opportunity while the Zhou family was having dinner.
He quietly slipped out of the living room and went straight to the study on the second floor.
The study door was not closed tightly.
He skillfully used his claws to pry open a crack and crawled in.
As soon as he entered the study, his cat instinct made him smell something unusual.
His eyes quickly locked onto an inconspicuous built-in safe behind the bookshelf.
This is it!
He jumped onto the desk, then leaped lightly onto the bookshelf and came to the safe.
The combination lock is very old style.
He stretched out his fleshy paws and scratched at it curiously, trying to feel the touch of the buttons.
Just then—
"Crack~~"
The door of the study was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Lin Muci froze and turned back in panic.
[Discovered?!]
He thought it would be Zhou Huaian or the little girl.
However, the person standing at the door was someone he could never have imagined.
Gu Ming.
Why is he here?! Shouldn't he be keeping an eye on Gu Chaoyu from the fishing club?!
Gu Ming had a playful smile on his face, his eyes fixed precisely on Lin Xiaomiao.
"I didn't expect that."
"My good son even raised one like this..."
“…A cat that can unlock locks!”
All the orange hair on Lin Muci's body exploded with a "swish".
Gu Ming.
How come he is here?!
[Shouldn't he have been led to the fishing club by Xiaoyu?!]
[The diversion attempt... failed?!]
Lin Muci's mind buzzed.
[It's over, this time it's really going to turn into cat meat hot pot! ]
Gu Ming sneered and stretched out his long legs, step by step, approaching Lin Xiaomiao on the bookshelf.
"A ginger cat..."
"You can actually find this place so accurately and even want to open the safe."
He stopped and looked down at Lin Xiaomiao condescendingly.
"Tell me, what should I do with you?"
"I'm going to throw you off this building to see if cats really have nine lives..."
"still……"
He slowly extended his hand.
"...just break your neck?"
Murderous intent!
Undisguised murderous intent!
Lin Muci was so scared that his soul was about to leave his body. His cat instinct made him scream "meow" and he turned around and wanted to jump down from the other end of the bookshelf to escape.
Run! Run!
[If you don't run now, you'll really be killed by this villain! ! ]
But Gu Ming's movements were even faster!
He seemed to have anticipated Lin Xiaomao's escape route long ago, and blocked his way with one step. The big hand with the breath of death was about to catch him!
At this critical moment.
"cough."
A light cough came from the study door.
"Director Gu."
Zhou Huaian's voice sounded again.
"You came here late at night just to bully a kitten?"
Gu Ming's outstretched hand suddenly stopped just a few centimeters away from the back of Lin Xiaomao's neck.
The air in the entire study seemed to freeze at this moment.
Lin Xiaomao froze in place, not daring to move. He could clearly feel the terrifying aura from Gu Ming colliding violently with another aura as steady as a mountain in the narrow space.
【!!! ！ ！】
This old man...
[Surprisingly, he's not a subordinate who only follows Gu Ming's orders! ]
This aura... is too strong!
Gu Ming slowly withdrew his hand, finally turned around and looked directly at Zhou Huaian at the door.
His face was covered with that forced smile again.
"Mr. Zhou, you're joking."
"I just noticed a 'rat' had gotten into your study, and I wanted to help you clear it out."
As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Xiaomao.
The word "rat" was pronounced very strongly.
Lin Xiaomiao was so angry that his beard was shaking.
[You are the rat! Your whole family is rats!]
[The dignity of an orange cat cannot be trampled upon! ]
However, now he can only cower on the bookshelf, playing the role of an innocent, weak and pitiful fat orange.
"Then I won't bother Director Gu."
Zhou Huaian walked in slowly, holding a teacup.
He placed the steaming cup of Longjing tea on the desk, making a crisp sound.
Then he walked to the bookshelf, reached out his hand, and gently stroked Lin Xiaomiao's bristly back.
The warmth from the palm dispelled most of the fear in Lin Muci's heart.
Zhou Huaian said to Lin Xiaomao in his arms:
"This is my granddaughter's pet, called 'Yuan Bao'."
"It's very well behaved and never runs around. I think it smelled my tea and came to my study to find me."
"No need to bother."
He spoke lightly and didn't even look at Gu Ming the whole time.
This was like a loud slap in the face, slapping Gu Ming hard:
This cat is my person.
You have no right to move!
Gu Ming's face finally darkened.
He stared at Zhou Huaian protecting the cat, was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly sneered.
"It seems I'm meddling in other people's business."
He changed the subject and his tone became more sinister.
"Since Mr. Zhou treasures this 'pet' so much, please also pay attention to your other things."
"Don't let the most important 'account book' be stolen!"
Lin Muci's heart rose to his throat again.
[Here it comes! The real showdown is about to begin! ]
He looked at Zhou Huaian nervously, wanting to see how this secretive old man would respond.
