The cat rubbed its eyes and slowly woke up.
She looked at Jiu Yunchi and said, "Why are you asking this again? Can't you ask something else?"
As she spoke, she grabbed the little phoenix by the neck and put it on the ground. "You want to know this?"
Jiu Yunchi nodded.
The cat rubbed its belly and said, "The cat is hungry and doesn't have the strength to talk."
Just then, Lin Yu appeared at the door. "President Jiu, lunch is here."
Jiu Yunchi waved him away. It removed the cylindrical wooden stick from the back of the little phoenix's head, and the lifelike little phoenix folded its wings, closed its eyes, and stood there like a lifeless work of art.
“Let’s go eat,” Jiu Yunchi said, standing there without moving, clearly waiting for Maomao.
The cat jumped off the bed. Jiu Yunchi's dining room was also his private space. The table was already set with food, two identical Western dishes.
Jiu Yunchi was already eating, but Maomao was poking at the steak in front of her with her fork. She was really hungry, but she just couldn't bring herself to eat this...
The cat tried to eat it, but the taste immediately caused a wave of nausea and vomiting!
The cat suddenly dropped the utensils and ran out, then lay on the sink and vomited incessantly!
Her stomach was already empty, and now she couldn't vomit anything, only dry heaving incessantly, as if she wanted to vomit out her internal organs!
A large hand was placed on her back and patted her. It was Jiu Yunchi, who had no idea what was going on.
But the cat suddenly pushed Jiu Yunchi away, its eyes bloodshot, those crescent-shaped eyes resembling a blood moon, coated with an eerie red.
"Get away from me!" the cat yelled at him, then stumbled and walked away.
However, she fell to the ground after taking only a few steps. She groped her way to the corner of the wall and shrank into it, as if she had found some sense of security.
She clutched her hair, her small hands clenched until they turned white, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
The images in her mind haunted her relentlessly. She seemed to see her weak self crawling out of the morgue again, filthy and no different from those maggots!
This is something she should have forgotten long ago; it's the inner demon that torments her. She was already so powerful that she was invulnerable to swords and spears, but the aftereffects of having her power sealed were too many!
The old man forbids her from harming others, but she herself risks her life because of it?
"Waaaaah... It hurts so much, kitty."
After his initial shock, Jiu Yunchi quickly regained his composure. He stared at the girl trembling in the corner; her trembling sobs were enough to soften the heart of anyone who witnessed it.
"Where does it hurt? I'll take you to the hospital." Jiu Yunchi approached again.
"Don't come any closer!" The cat, her face buried in her knees, roared with the last vestiges of her reason.
"Be good." Jiu Yunchi frowned. He tried to soothe the cat, so much so that his voice softened. Without stopping, he quickly grabbed the cat's arm.
I wanted to pick her up, but suddenly!
A black cat suddenly appeared out of nowhere! It let out a sharp cry, and its claws left several bright red marks on his arm!
Blood was drawn.
"Meow!"
The black cat's tail stood straight up, its fur bristling, and it stood in front of the cat with its body arched like a warrior.
"Is this your cat?" Jiu Yunchi glanced at his scratched arm and suddenly remembered that when he carried the cat back from Old Madam Mu's house last time, this cat had been following him.
No, to be precise, it follows the cat.
Back then, it stared at him warily, just as it does now, as if guarding against him doing something harmful to the cat.
The cat didn't speak; she simply didn't have the strength.
Jiu Yunchi didn't want to waste any more time, because the cat was in very bad condition. "I'll take you to the vet and get your cat to cooperate."
He didn't want the cat to come after him after he killed it.
"I'm not going to the hospital," the cat struggled to say. "I'm not sick. I want to see Ah Jin."
"Ah Jin, Ah Jin..." It seemed that only this name remained in Maomao's mind. She murmured it repeatedly, as if it were an antidote, and her emotions calmed down a lot as a result.
She took her phone out of her pocket, but she didn't hold it properly and it fell to the ground.
Jiu Yunchi reacted quickly. He understood the cat's intention, picked up the phone, opened the phone book, and found Mu Jin's phone number very easily. It was specially grouped and encrypted, but he didn't ask for the password. He just tried it and unlocked it himself.
Clearly, this level of password was useless to him.
"—Angel Ajin"
Jiu Yunchi dialed the number and put it on speakerphone. He listened to the mechanical, unhurried dial tone while looking at the cat huddled in the corner.
He suddenly felt that time was dragging on.
Before the call could be connected, Jiu Yunchi took out his own phone and made a call. The call was answered shortly afterward.
"Hey, Mr. Mu, there's something I really need your help with... How can I find your younger brother, Mu Jin, right away? I have some personal business with him... It's very important." Jiu Yunchi seemed to be on the phone with Mu Ye, and then hung up after a short while. "I'll be there right away."
“I’ll take you to find Mu Jin,” Jiu Yunchi said to the cat.
This time, the cat reacted and reached out her hand to Jiu Yunchi.
The black cat seemed to understand its master's meaning and jumped aside.
Jiu Yunchi picked up the cat and strode out the door with his long legs.
Even though everyone was busy with work, they were still fortunate enough to see their icy CEO carrying a woman, striding briskly through the office lobby and into the private elevator. They all stood there dumbfounded for a long time, as if struck by lightning!
Wasn't it said that their god-like CEO was immune to women?!
So what's going on now?! Are they dreaming?!
On the other side...
Jiu Yunchi's car sped to Mu Jin's apartment in the city, fortunately not too far away.
The cat was curled up, as if it was using all its strength to suppress something.
Jiu Yunchi kept checking his watch. Even though it was only twenty minutes, it felt like several hours had passed.
We've finally arrived!
Holding the cat, Jiu Yunchi strode swiftly towards Mu Jin's apartment.
This community consists of high-end apartments, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. However, this community is owned by the Mu family, and Mu Ye had already informed them by phone when Jiu Yunchi asked him for help.
The manager, unaware of the situation, thought that some big shot was coming to inspect the place, so he led a group of managers to the door to greet him. But it turned out to be a misunderstanding; he just led Jiu Yunchi the way.
Jiu Yunchi arrived at the entrance of Mu Jin Apartment without incident.
The doorbell rang for so long that Jiu Yunchi began to doubt whether Mu Jin was even in the apartment! Finally, the door opened!
