Cat was in such a hurry when she left the hotel that she didn't take her phone with her. When Chen Doudou and Lanfeng got back and found that she wasn't there, they searched everywhere but couldn't find her anywhere.
Lan Feng checked the park's surveillance footage. When the park's chief security officer learned that the eldest daughter of the Jiu family had gone missing, he was so frightened that he immediately retrieved all the surveillance footage. In the end, he discovered that the cat had left with Mu Jin on its own initiative.
Lan Feng was relieved.
Although it was a false alarm, the incident still alarmed Jiu Yunchi. As a result, when Maomao returned to the hotel, it was already past midnight, but she still saw Jiu Yunchi!
The cat paused at the door, looking in surprise at Jiu Yunchi on the sofa, who was looking down at the documents.
"Ka"
Cat closed the door and walked straight to Jiu Yunchi. She said, "Jiu Yunchi, what brings you here?"
Jiu Yunchi slightly raised his eyes, but asked in return, "Where did you go?"
The cat said, "Go play! I've finished all my work, won't I get to play?"
Jiu Yunchi asked, "Where did you go?"
The cat gestured the general route, "Like this, like this, and then like that... then go down a cliff, and keep going until you reach a cave."
Jiu Yunchi put down the documents and rubbed his temples slightly. He didn't understand at all what the route was, like this and that... and then that.
"Sit down," Jiu Yunchi said.
The cat sat down instinctively. Yes, sitting is more comfortable, so why was she standing?
Jiu Yunchi placed Maomao's phone in front of her and said, "No bodyguards, no phone, Jiu Maomao, you're too free."
Cat looked at Jiu Yunchi with some confusion. The latter, who was originally aloof, now seemed to have more substantial anger.
Ah... this robot brother can get angry?
While the cat was still lost in random thoughts, Jiu Yunchi suddenly said, "I'm talking to you, can you hear me?"
The cat nodded, "I heard you..."
Jiu Yunchi said, "It was a false alarm today. If you had really lost it, it would have been such a hassle! You know that?"
Cat looked at Jiu Yunchi. Did he think she was lost? So he drove all the way from the Third Ring Road to the Sixth Ring Road in the middle of the night to give her a lecture?
“How could a cat possibly get lost…” the cat said.
Jiu Yunchi suddenly took off his coat and then slowly rolled up his sleeves.
Cat: "..."
She looked at Jiu Yunchi's movements with confusion. Although they were elegant, they seemed familiar... It was as if he had used the same stance when he beat up Jiu Yebai.
“Whether you lose it or not is one thing, but constantly talking about the Jiu family’s rules is another,” Jiu Yunchi said.
He stood up, his tie loosened to the side, and his collar loosened.
The cat looked up at him; Jiu Yunchi's aura was truly intimidating.
"What are the Jiu family's rules?" Maomao asked. She had never heard of them and had searched through Jiu Xintian's memories but couldn't find any.
Jiu Yunchi said, "You can play around, but you can't risk your life."
The cat nodded humbly, "I've got it."
Jiu Yunchi then said, "Stand up."
"You just told me to sit down..." Despite saying that, Maomao still stood up, still looking up at Jiu Yunchi with her head slightly tilted back.
So... I hate height differences the most! Even if I'm not inferior in terms of presence, it's just annoying to look up at someone.
The cat asked, "Are you going to hit me?"
Jiu Yunchi did not deny it, "Aren't you very capable? Maybe you'll be the one hitting me in the end."
That's it! Jiu Yunchi really wants to beat her up!
Cat hesitated for a moment, not knowing why, but she really couldn't bring herself to hit Jiu Yunchi... If she beat up Jiu Yunchi like she did to Jiu Yebai, wouldn't her younger brother be too thin-skinned and do something stupid?
After all... he was still the Jiu family's god of wealth.
The cat still eats his food and spends his money...
"He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him"—perhaps this describes her perfectly?
In the moment of her hesitation, Jiu Yunchi suddenly struck her with a palm.
The cat saw it clearly out of the corner of its eye, but didn't move.
Jiu Yunchi grabbed her arm and gently lifted her up, sending the cat onto the sofa!
Jiu Yunchi had chosen a good spot; he didn't drop her on the floor. The sofa was so soft, she even bounced around on it a bit and was completely unharmed...
Jiu Yunchi frowned, clearly not expecting the cat to not fight back. "Do you want to get beaten up?"
Suddenly, the cat got up and presented the puppet it had just brought back to Jiu Yunchi like a treasure. "This is for you! I brought this back from far away. It's a good thing!"
I didn't know the Jiu family rules before, but I will find out later. Considering this is my first offense, let's just let it go this time, okay?
Jiu Yunchi lowered his eyes and looked at the puppet. It was about sixty centimeters tall, with its arms and legs swaying, and it was very lifelike. This puppet was much more exquisite than that little phoenix!
The so-called exquisiteness is not about how ornate it is. Experts can see the details. This puppet, even though it has been covered in dust for a long time, still looks like it is asleep. It doesn't feel like an object, but like something with life.
Jiu Yunchi almost immediately connected the dots to its origin. Skipping over the convoluted details, he asked directly, "Where was it found in that cave?"
Cat nodded vigorously, "Yes! What a coincidence! A carpenter used to live in that cave! This puppet must be his work."
Jiu Yunchi took the puppet and sat back down on the sofa. He played with the puppet's joints for a bit, and sure enough, he had almost forgotten about the punch he was about to throw.
A moment later, he handed the cat his phone, saying, "Find that cave."
