An unfamiliar city, unfamiliar roads, and unfamiliar pedestrians.
If it were before, when Bai Li first arrived here, he would probably have been a little scared. But now that he's accumulated enough anger, he's completely forgotten about being scared.
After walking for about an hour, Bai Li suddenly braked and stopped.
"Found it!"
He sniffed, trying to discern the scents in the air, and looked very clearly toward the southwest.
If you walk down to the southwest, you will find a simple and old residential area.
Clothes were hanging out to dry at the entrance of the residential area, and piles of junk were stacked up. Many women sat on the doorsteps doing weaving or similar work.
Taking advantage of her small size, Bai Li secretly walked forward along the corner of the wall.
Even though he was small, his snow-white figure could still be easily captured.
"Hey, see that? Whose kitten is that?" a woman said with a smile from the doorway.
"I don't know, it looks pretty good, but it shouldn't have come to our place."
There were many people sitting at the entrance, and they were talking loudly among themselves: "That family at the east end, I think they always like to bully small animals. If they catch this kitten in the act, it's probably not going to get away with it."
"If you feel sorry for it, you can take it home and raise it," someone joked.
The woman who had spoken earlier quickly refused upon hearing this: "I won't keep one; it's too expensive."
The sound of those people chatting made Bai Li even more vigilant.
With his short legs, he eventually started running forward.
A few minutes later.
The white kitten crept out of the hole at the base of the wall. The hole was narrow, but as everyone knows, cats are liquid animals, and the round kitten was no exception.
This old house with a courtyard and a hole in the wall is where those two people lived.
—Upon entering, Bai Li heard voices.
"Brother Cha, did you receive the money? We still need to get rabies vaccines. I just searched online, and if you get caught like that, the vaccine will cost two thousand."
The man called Brother Cha said in a gloomy tone, "Not yet, they'll personally deliver it to us later. However, they also said they'll need our cooperation later."
"What kind of cooperation?"
Brother Cha glanced down at the bloody scratches on his arm, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.
“What happened on set just now was filmed, and Tan Yi will be blamed for bullying the extras. By the way, remember what I said, we should insist that we were too engrossed in filming and accidentally kicked Tan Yi. He can’t do anything about it.”
Even if the director finds out they both had martial arts training and were skilled fighters, even if the director fires them this time and informs the industry that they'll never be used again...
But once they had the money, they were nothing more than extras, and they didn't care at all about being banned or not.
The claim that they deliberately attacked Tan Yi happened during filming, and they insisted it wasn't intentional, so the police couldn't do anything about it.
Bai Li was a bit far away from them, and could hear them talking, but not very clearly.
A moment later.
Brother Cha answered the phone, then went to the door. When he came back, he was carrying a cloth bag of money: "Tiger, the money is here. That guy was quite cautious, he covered himself up completely and didn't even use his phone to transfer the money."
Tiger leaned closer and glanced at the amount: "There's quite a lot of money, Brother Cha. Can you guess who sent the person who delivered this money to us?"
"Too lazy to guess."
When Brother Cha received the money, his mood improved considerably. He hid most of it in his room, only taking a small wad of cash and stuffing it into his pocket: "Let's go get vaccinated."
"That biting little beast might be carrying a virus."
The two people with the money didn't even leave the courtyard.
Seeing that they were about to come out, Bai Li no longer hesitated, directly activated his demon core, and forcefully charged forward to fight.
Bai Li clearly remembered the several places where her third brother had been beaten and how shocking the bruises were.
"Meow!!!"
Bai Li—with a leap, landed directly on Brother Cha's face and began scratching at it fiercely with her claws.
The demon core cannot be activated lightly. If it is activated too much, one will feel weak all over afterward.
Bai Li was determined to finish the fight quickly, and after getting revenge, she would go back to her hotel room to sleep.
After a burst of fierce scratching, both grown men were left with bloody scratches all over their bodies.
"You damned beast, get out of here!"
"Hey, Brother Cha, kill him already!"
The two of them were caught too badly. Bai Li doesn't fight much; he didn't even really use his claws during that incident in the urban village.
But family is Bai Li's bottom line that no one can cross. All the cats in her family are protective of their own. Bai Li is usually pampered by her older siblings, and no one dares to bully her, so no one has ever witnessed the angry little kitten's protective side.
"Meow! Meow meow!"
If you dare to bully my third brother again, I'll beat you up!
Bai Li stepped on Cha Ge's face, who was lying on the ground, determined to beat them into submission, even at the cost of exhausting her demon core.
Not only did Bai Li beat someone up, but she also went into the room and pulled out the cloth bag that had been full of money earlier.
This is the money they got from beating up Third Brother; the vengeful kitten would never let them spend it.
Watching the cloth bag being taken away by the kitten that was fighting like a madman, Brother Cha's triangular eyes were filled with hatred that seemed to drip blood.
"Money, put the money down!"
Bai Li wouldn't let her go.
He tied the cloth bag to his body and, while he still had the energy, ran outside.
When Bai Li came, she followed the scent marks left on the two people; now she's going back...
After searching for half an hour, Bai Li stood bewildered on an unfamiliar street: "Where's the hotel?"
The hotel he stayed in with his third brother was so big and luxurious—a whole building!
"Meow."
I'm lost.
Bai Li didn't know how to get back to the hotel. He was carrying a lot of money, so for safety's sake, he could only find a corner under the overpass to hide in.
In the corner, Bai Li looked down at the phone strapped to her paw.
Following Xie Chen's instructions, he was about to call his third brother.
However, Tan Yi, who was recording a variety show, was asked by the production team not to bring her phone on stage.
Bai Li made several calls but couldn't get through, and she started to feel a little scared.
It gets dark early now, and although Bai Li can see things clearly in the dark, she is still a little afraid of the dark.
Unable to find his third brother, he dejectedly started calling Xie Chen.
Xie Shen was in a meeting, and because someone had made a mistake, the atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Everyone sitting in the meeting room looked at Xie Shen, who had no expression on his face, and they were all trembling with fear. No one dared to speak.
In this eerily quiet moment, a cell phone rang abruptly.
The moment the phone rang, everyone's first reaction was: Who the hell left their phone on during a meeting?! Isn't this just deliberately making the boss's mood worse?!
The bell was still ringing.
Xie Chen, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly stood up.
"Lili?"
Xie Chen's phone is always silenced when he enters the meeting room, but Bai Li's phone number has been specially configured so that it can always be reached, no matter the circumstances.
Xie Chen gestured to pause the meeting, then left with his phone.
Those who were left in their seats finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
"I was terrified just now. When the boss's face darkened, I felt like I was going to lose my job."
"Me too……"
"Hey, aren't you curious? In a conference room, whose phone can just come in?"
"I think her name is... Lili?"
One of the managers, with a subtle expression, said, "Well, Anna told me that our boss's cat is named Lili."
Everyone was guessing who this Lili was. It couldn't possibly be a cat calling, could it?
While they were speculating, Xie Chen, who was on the phone, was talking to Bai Li outside.
"Sweetie, speak slowly."
Xie Chen frowned slightly when he heard something amiss in the voice on the other end of the phone, but he controlled his tone so that Bai Li wouldn't notice.
Bai Li told Xie Chen everything that had happened during the day.
When Xie Chen heard the part about the kitten wanting revenge, he almost lost his composure.
This tiny kitten, no bigger than the palm of your hand, wants to seek revenge on two grown men.
“Lili”.
Having finally heard the whole story, Xie Chen pressed his temples, forcing himself to calm down.
"So, you mean you're lost, can't get through to Tan Yi on the phone, and you're so exhausted from the fight that you're about to pass out, right?"
After overdrawing her demon core, Bai Li, whose head was already spinning, used her last bit of clarity to meow and say, "That's right."
"gentlemen."
Before her consciousness was uncontrollably pulled into darkness, Bai Li stammered out a notification: "I...I'm going to faint."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little kitten sitting in the corner suddenly fainted on the ground.
Xie Chen: "..."
Xie Chen: "Lili?"
After calling Lili several times without receiving a response, Xie Chen directly instructed someone to notify the people in the conference room that the meeting was adjourned and would be rescheduled for another time.
"Anna, buy a ticket to S City now, the earliest flight."
Xie Chen—while instructing Anna—called the driver to come and drive.
soon.
After buying the plane tickets, Xie Chen had just gotten into the car and left when a young man with bleached white curly hair arrived. The young man had delicate features, and his eyes looked a bit cold when he wasn't speaking.
"elder sister."
The young man's coldness vanished as soon as he spoke, revealing his eloquence. He asked the female receptionist, "Is President Xie here?"
The female employee whose face turned red for no apparent reason was called "sister" by the handsome young man.
She originally intended to tell the young man that he needed to make an appointment to see President Xie, but somehow the words that came out were: "President Xie just went out."
"Do you know where he went? I have something very important to discuss with him."
"have no idea."
The female employee shook her head; Xie Chen's whereabouts were beyond her knowledge.
Unable to find out any information, Bai Liu's eyes flashed with a hint of unease, but he concealed it well.
"Since Mr. Xie isn't here, I'll be leaving now."
As Bai Liu spoke, he took out two candies and a band-aid from his pocket.
"Sister, I'll treat you to some candy."
"Also, you accidentally bumped yourself here. You can put some medicine on it. I don't have any medicine, so this is all I can give you."
The receptionist, clutching the candy and band-aids, suddenly felt her eyes welling up with tears.
Bai Liu smiled gently and casually advised, "Such a beautiful older sister, you must take good care of yourself and not hurt yourself again. Otherwise, if I were your boyfriend, I would definitely feel sorry for you."
It wasn't until Bai Liu had been gone for a while that the receptionist rubbed her eyes and placed her hand on the scar on her collarbone.
This injury...
It wasn't an accidental injury at all; I was hit.
Thinking of the boy's last words, the receptionist lowered her head and sent a message on her phone.
"Zhang Mao, when you see the bruises you gave me, don't you feel any pain?"
"I already told you I was drunk and hit you a couple of times, are you ever going to stop? You're still bringing this up with me?!"
The reply still came in her boyfriend's irritable tone. The girl, who had always been tolerant before, had tears welling up in her eyes as she ate the candy her boyfriend had given her.
The sugar is very sweet.
After the girl finished eating a piece of candy, she soberly typed three words in the chat box.
Let's break up.
The lover she wants is someone who will cherish her like a young man, not a real person.
Life is a long journey, and she can no longer settle for less.
On the other side.
Upon arriving at the airport, Xie Chen, without packing or preparing anything, boarded the nearest flight.
Since first class was no longer available, Xie Chen was seated in economy class.
Bai Liu got Xie Chen's phone number from Lin Chao, but when she called, the phone was always switched off.
The shrewd Bai Liu stared at the darkened screen, only one thought remaining—
Could it be that this Mr. Xie knew in advance that he was coming to pick up Lili, so he deliberately left him hanging?
Regardless of what Bai Liu thought, Xie Chen, the person involved, had no mind to think about anything else.
He only remembered the little kitten that could faint at any moment.
Author's Note: Lili panicked: I'm going to faint!
