Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 181 The Cursed

Lin Ge's gaze sent a shiver down Luo Jue's spine.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. Perhaps it was because of the wrong education he received back then, as Nie Guoqiang said. Anyway, he inexplicably didn't dare to resist whenever he saw Lin Ge's eyes.

Seeing Lin Ge staring intently at her, his fur swaying wildly in the wind, Luo Jue couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

"Shall we go down? It's windy here."

Luo Jue opened the door again, but saw that Lin Ge had no intention of leaving with him, so he had no choice but to close the door again and turn to face the cat.

"Actually... I just... don't want to bother... them anymore. I... am a cursed person... right? Everything related to me... is like being cursed, with... no happy outcome whatsoever."

Facing Lin Ge, Luo Jue finally stopped hiding anything.

Once the first sentence was spoken, the rest flowed smoothly. Looking up at Lin Ge, Luo Jue continued, "Everything I longed for has become a joke. And all of this is because of my appearance. Right? If I hadn't come to Yong City, would Mom still have received care from Grandpa and that man? Even if he wanted to marry another woman, at least... at least... he wouldn't dare to completely abandon Mother, right?"

Luo Jue's eyes were red and swollen as she stared at Lin Ge, gritting her teeth as she said, "But now everything has changed! Because of me, Mom is going to lose all her support. That man will go to jail, leaving Grandpa all alone! Everything is going in the worst possible direction? Why! Because I'm a terrible person, all I can bring them is a worse ending! Since that's the case... since that's the case..."

Facing Lin Ge's pupils, which had shrunk to almost a thin slit, Luo Jue turned her head away: "No matter what, I can't let others be affected by me! But it's definitely already affected them. Uncle Nie's legs seem to have stopped walking after just a few days. It must be because he cares about me that I cursed him! And Sister Sun Chang, she looks terrible, and so does Uncle Qian! Everyone... everyone is like this because of me..."

Before Luo Jue could finish speaking, Lin Ge suddenly bumped his head into Luo Jue's face, causing him to stagger and swallow back the words he was about to say.

Lin Ge really wanted to tell Luo Jue, "Don't be silly!"

Nie Guoqiang's difficulty in moving was due to a worsening of his rheumatism. His hasty arrival in the colder southern province, coupled with the unfamiliar climate and the arduous journey over mountains, made his movements appear difficult.

Sun Chang looked terrible because he had been driving for over seven hours straight. From Yexian to Yongshi, then from Yongshi to Tuqiao Village and back, Sun Chang was exhausted and naturally looked awful.

As for Qian Wei...

You're just blind! This guy looks better than anyone else, what's wrong with him?
Lin Ge glared at Luo Jue resentfully, very unhappy that he was blaming all this messy stuff on himself.

What curse is there in this world? Or even if there is, what curse is more powerful than him being reborn as a cat? This is a curse that transcends species, time, distance, and even the soul. Compared to this, what's wrong with this little brat?
Even when Lin Ge turned into a cat, he never complained about his current situation. So why does this little brat dare to look down on him?

Just what kind of hurdle can't they overcome?

Lin Ge was furious, so when Luo Jue made a foolish mistake, he didn't hesitate to give him a headbutt.

This blow stunned Luo Jue.

He covered his face and stared blankly at Lin Ge, who landed smoothly. Lin Ge yawned disdainfully and then howled fiercely at him.

For some reason, Luo Jue relaxed.

He lowered his head, no longer mentioning the curse, and only whispered, "Actually... I want to avenge my mother. I really want to know how she came to Yongshi, how she married that person, and how she became like this. Especially after learning that most of the women in Tuqiao Village were sick people picked up from outside, I'm afraid my mother's situation will be the same as theirs. And me... my father, could it be that he actually..."

"Ow!"

Lin Ge suddenly roared, interrupting Luo Jue. He knew the boy was getting stuck on something again. The disabled woman who was already heavily pregnant when she was taken in by Tuqiao Village had frightened him.

Coupled with thoughts of being an unfortunate person, Luo Jue's thinking became increasingly gloomy.

While there are indeed many unanswered questions surrounding Ai Yun's case, and the fact that Luo Jue was born many years ago without a registered household is also intriguing, he seems to be asking himself: if Ai Yun truly had serious issues, how did she manage to obtain a marriage certificate with Luo Jianlin?

So things are definitely not as complicated as this kid thinks.

Lin Ge gave Luo Jue a look that seemed to assure him, while wondering to himself where all these wild thoughts came from. He hadn't noticed Luo Jue having so many ideas before. Had he encountered someone or something while he was away?

"While I was at the hospital with my mother, I watched an animated film about a cursed child." Luo Jue turned her head away awkwardly.

"Damn it! That stupid State Administration of Radio, Film and Television! They don't ban what they should, and they ban what they shouldn't! They release all sorts of films, aren't they corrupting the children?!"

Lin Ge muttered to himself.

Seeing that Lin Ge was eager to punish her again, Luo Jue lowered her head and quickly said, "I know... I know that the cartoons are all lies! I didn't believe them! I just didn't want to trouble Uncle Nie and the others anymore. I can support myself."

"And then live like a beggar?"

Lin Ge recalled the first time he met Luo Jue, and how disheveled the boy looked.

“That was an accident, because… we didn’t receive… orders…”

Luo Jue turned his head awkwardly, recalling his first meeting with Lin Ge. The cat boss had really startled him back then! Fortunately, the boss's appearance brought a different perspective to his otherwise bleak world.

The cold wind made Lingo want to sneeze, and his nose was starting to run. As a cat, Lingo dared not get sick, even though he felt perfectly healthy right now.

Having learned the reason for Luo Jue's illness and realizing that things were different from what he and Nie Guoqiang had expected, Lin Ge decided not to get involved any further. He figured Nie Guoqiang would eventually open Luo Jue's heart and persuade the kid with his own reasoning.

Well, I'd say a good beating would be quite effective.

Lin Ge glared maliciously at Luo Jue, then walked to the door at the top of the stairs, signaling the silly kid to hurry up and open the door, what was he standing there for?

"Oh!"

Luo Jue followed Lin Ge downstairs in a daze.

When they reached the third floor, several cars suddenly pulled up in the courtyard below. Some had flashing lights, while others drove silently, but many people were clearly startled by Li Changqing's sudden attack and had no choice but to rush to the Municipal Public Security Bureau that very night.

One of them, Lin Ge had even seen on the news on the way here, was one of the top officials in the municipal government.

"Heh... I wonder how things will be handled now that things have escalated like this. But no matter what, this unhealthy trend must be suppressed, otherwise disabled women with insufficient family protection will become even more vulnerable..."

Lingo jumped onto the windowsill and walked along the narrow sill, looking down. He even saw reporters outside the yard, but they were being stopped by the police on the side of the road, who were preventing them from following him in.

"Let me tell you, I've already contacted reporters! If you dare not let us go, don't blame me for exposing what you've done! I want to see how you'll handle things when things get out of hand. Go ahead and kill me to cover it up!"

Luo Jinfa's roar could be faintly heard; he hadn't been locked up yet.

Putting everything else aside, just considering the seven disabled women recently discovered in Tuqiao Village, Luo Jinfeng is absolutely guilty of both condoning their misconduct and failing to properly supervise them. I don't know where he got the audacity to roar in the police station.

Sure enough, before Lin Ge even reached the door of the lounge, he faintly heard Luo Jinfeng let out a muffled groan. It seemed that the criminal investigation police hadn't let him off the hook; even with the arrival of the municipal leaders, they had still managed to subdue him.

Faintly, Lin Ge also heard Li Changqing roar.

"Idiot, why did you let him have his phone? Do I need to teach you twice how to confiscate a criminal suspect's communication devices?"

"I'm...I'm so sorry! This case is really...I'm still completely confused. I can't tell who's the criminal and who's innocent at all, Captain!"

The unfortunate policeman was on the verge of tears.

Lin Ge was also startled, because a guy in a suit who was surrounded by several people below suddenly looked up and saw him.
