Chapter 70 You Shouldn't Be Here
As the study door was closed heavily, Gu Ming's suffocating feeling of oppression finally disappeared.
Zhou Huaian sighed tiredly.
He gently placed Lin Xiaomao in his arms on the desk.
"Little guy, I'm sorry to scare you."
"but……"
"...You shouldn't have come here."
Lin Xiaomiao was shocked when he heard this.
【!!! ！ ！】
What does he mean?!
【Did he realize that I'm not just an ordinary cat?!】
A chill that was even more indescribable than the one he felt when facing Gu Ming just now ran up Mao Mao's spine and into his head.
Gu Ming is pure evil and a visible danger.
And this old man in front of me...
Unfathomable!
He can't see through it at all!
Lin Xiaomiao can only continue to play the role of an innocent fat orange.
He tilted his furry head and tried to squeeze out a soft "Meow?"
Zhou Huaian chuckled and glanced at him, but did not continue the topic.
He ignored Lin Xiaomao on the table, turned around and walked to the ancient Duan inkstone.
Lin Xiaomao's eyes followed him involuntarily.
Zhou Huaian stretched out his fingers and began to tap rhythmically on the base of the inkstone.
Sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes slow, sometimes fast.
Lin Xiaomao widened his eyes and tried hard to remember the sequence, but found that the rhythm was irregular and difficult to remember for a moment.
"Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick..."
Seven times in a row.
When the seventh blow fell—
“Click.”
A soft sound came from inside the inkstone.
Under Lin Xiaomao's gaze, a slot smaller than a fingernail slowly popped out from the bottom of the inkstone that seemed to be a whole.
Lin Xiaomiao's little mouth opened slightly in shock.
[What the hell?!]
[A mechanism?!]
[This inkstone actually has hidden secrets! ]
This is even more outrageous than the plot in the movie!
And what’s even more outrageous is yet to come.
In that small card slot, there lay a completely black...
MicroSD card.
Zhou Huaian picked up a pair of long-handled tweezers from the pen holder and carefully took out the memory card.
He held the card up to the light of the desk lamp and took a closer look.
Then, he turned his head, his gaze fell on Lin Xiao Miao again, and slowly said:
"Go back and tell your master."
"The time has not come yet."
"Let Xiaoyu wait a little longer."
He he he… He he he…
[How did he know I was sent by Brother Xiaoyu?!]
【Owner? ! 】
[The 'master' he's talking about is Brother Xiaoyu?! ]
【Zhou Huaian……】
【He is not Gu Ming's man at all! 】
[Not only is he not, he even... seems to be aware of the existence of people like us!]
No, that's not right.
[He probably doesn't know that Gu Chaoyu can read minds, nor does he know that he can turn into a cat.]
[What he meant by what he said just now was more like he thought Gu Chaoyu had some ability to communicate with animals and drive them to do things for him.]
[But even so, it is already shocking enough! ]
[Who is this Mr. Zhou?!]
Why does he know this?
[What is his relationship with Brother Xiaoyu? ]
Lin Xiaomiao’s little brain is starting to feel inadequate again.
…
at the same time.
A fishing club on the outskirts of the capital.
It's late at night.
Gu Chaoyu hid behind an inconspicuous car, his eyes fixed on the direction of the club's gate.
Time passes by minute by minute.
Zhou Huaian did not show up.
Gu Ming did not show up either.
Everything was too quiet.
An ominous premonition spread in his heart.
【The plan failed?】
【Gu Ming didn't seem to be fooled.】
[As for Xiao Ci...]
Gu Chaoyu's heart sank suddenly.
He didn't dare think about it anymore.
Without any further hesitation, he stood up and returned to his car.
The engine let out a low roar, and the off-road vehicle sped towards the Zhou family villa!
…
In the study.
Zhou Huaian carefully put the crucial SD card back into the inkstone's card slot.
With a "click".
The mechanism was restored, and the inkstone returned to its ancient and unpretentious appearance.
He picked up Lin Xiaomao from the table and walked quickly to the window.
He pushed open the window neatly, and a cool evening breeze rushed in.
"Go quickly, return to your master, and tell him what I have said."
"Gu Ming's spies will soon be all over this place."
"You'll be in danger if you stay any longer."
This sentence finally brought Lin Xiaomao back from his thoughts.
He knew that what Zhou Huaian said was true.
Now is not the time to be in a daze!
He must leave immediately!
He must tell Gu Chaoyu everything that happened tonight immediately!
Lin Muci didn't dare to delay any longer.
He turned around and glanced at the unfathomable old man.
Then, he kicked his hind legs and jumped out of Zhou Huaian's arms.
It landed steadily on the lawn outside the window, and then disappeared into the night without looking back.
Relying on the cat's superior night vision and flexibility, he quickly shuttled through the bushes in the villa area.
He skillfully found the iron fence of the villa area and nimbly squeezed out through the gap.
Standing on the deserted street, Lin Xiaomiao felt a little confused.
[Go to the fishing club to find Brother Xiaoyu! ]
[But where should I go? ]
[I'm not familiar with the roads here either.]
[I can't hail a taxi even in my orange cat form. What should I do?!]
Lin Xiaomiao was so anxious that he turned around in circles.
Just then—
“Squeak—!!!”
A black off-road vehicle drifted extremely dangerously, suddenly spun its tail, and stopped not far from him!
Lin Muci squinted his eyes because of the blinding light from the car lights.
He saw the license plate of the car clearly.
It’s Brother Xiaoyu’s car!
He's here to pick me up!
Gu Chaoyu also saw the orange ball of fur trembling in the headlights!
It’s his little speech!
Quickly bring the car to a complete stop.
Gu Chaoyu rushed out of the car and pulled Lin Xiaomao into his arms.
“Meow…”
He used his windbreaker to wrap the kitten in his arms tightly, leaving only its furry head exposed.
Back home.
Gu Chaoyu carried him and rushed straight to the bedroom.
He carefully placed Lin Xiaomiao on the soft big bed. With a flash of light, Lin Muci turned back into human form and fell softly on the bed, not wanting to move even a finger.
Too tired.
I feel tired.
Gu Chaoyu turned on all the lights and carefully examined Lin Muci's entire body.
From the tip of the curled hair to the white and tender toes.
After confirming that there was no external injury at all, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Xiao Ci, I'm glad you're okay!"
Gu Chaoyu's voice was very hoarse.
Lin Muci didn't care about his tiredness at this moment. He struggled to sit up and told everything that happened in the Zhou family's study tonight.
