Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 312 Little Ancestor

Lin Ge and Huang Qi did not meet at all from beginning to end.

Huang Qi didn't even stay in the room for long. Just like an ordinary person dealing with a petty thug, he finished the job, took the money, and left in a hurry.

Brother Yang didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, he was just a quack veterinarian. What kind of trouble could he possibly cause?

He only scolded Jian Ge again in the evening because the guy was high on drugs and said some disrespectful things, which made Da Yang Ge very unhappy.

That evening, Zhao Zhigao returned home drunk and was stunned to find his room completely occupied by the cats, leaving him nowhere to even sleep. So, without hesitation, Brother Yang ordered Brother Jian to give up his room for Zhao Zhigao, showing Brother Jian no leniency whatsoever.

Seeing Brother Jian's furious and murderous expression, Brother Da Yang didn't care at all. As long as this guy was addicted to drugs, he would never escape Brother Da Yang's grasp.

Zhao Zhigao's fearful refusal was ignored by Brother Yang.

The group gathered together for another round of smoking, the smoke-filled room resembling a scene from heaven. This time, even Zhao Zhigao was deeply involved, and Jian Ge's discontent vanished with the smoke of two specially made cigarettes, returning him to his loyal demeanor towards Brother Yang.

This is Brother Yang's strongest method of controlling everyone. He believes that as long as he still has these things in his hands, these people will never dare to betray him.

"Mimi?"

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Brother Yang came to find Lin Ge in high spirits, only to find that all the cats in the house, except for the naked yellow cat and the black and white cat, had vanished, and even his money tree had disappeared.

After reviewing the security footage, it was discovered that Lin Ge had taken the group of cats out around 9 a.m. The yellow cat and the black and white cat wanted to follow, but Lin Ge beat them up, so they obediently and reluctantly stayed inside.

Looking at another surveillance video, it appears that the group of cats left directly through the repair shop's main gate.

"Hiss... This guy! Why didn't you guys stop him?!"

Brother Yang was furious and unreasonably berated the repair shop employees. His only worry now was that Lin Ge might not return; wouldn't that render all his hopes from yesterday futile?

He quickly woke up all his drunken and dazed men and ordered them to go out and look for the cat.

But Zhangzhou is such a big city, and cats can burrow and hide, so how could they find them? More than a dozen people searched the area for several hours but couldn't find any trace of Lin Ge. They could only return in frustration and helplessly watch as Brother Yang was there, raging all by himself.

Then... Ringo came back.

He still led his cat pack with the same nonchalant attitude, completely ignoring Brother Yang and his men. As if he were the master of the place, the cats marched past Brother Yang in a long line and headed straight into the inner courtyard.

"Mimi!"

Brother Yang quickly called out to Lin Ge, his expression a mixture of surprise and humility, "Where have you been? How could you just wander around like that? You're so disobedient!"

Do I need to explain to you where I'm going?

Lin Ge glanced at Brother Yang with disdain, his mood not particularly pleasant. Mainly, the lock on the courtyard where the white cat family and the old dog hid in Xiaoguanyuan had been changed, and the scent of the white cat had dissipated considerably; it seemed like several days had passed since they'd last been there.

Lin Ge was unaware of what had happened and was worried about how the white cat family would survive the dead of winter. As for the police contact, it was just a new clip, something easily done.

This incident confirmed Lin Ge's suspicions: Huang Qi was indeed working for the police. He wondered how Huang Qi had managed to contact the anti-drug squad without Da Yang's side noticing at all.

"That white cat should be able to find another safe and warm place, right? Let's look again tomorrow. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen."

Lost in thought, Lin Ge walked towards his room with his head down. The weather was still quite cold; a short walk outside left him shivering. If he didn't have something on his mind, he would have preferred to stay snuggled in bed and let winter slowly pass by.

"Mimi!"

Big Brother Yang was both angry and helpless, so he could only walk over and stop Lin Ge. Seeing that all the cats were looking up at him, he awkwardly smiled and said, "Why didn't you say goodbye before going out to play? Do you know how worried I was about you? Don't do that again. Stay in the yard and behave yourself, you hear me?"

"Ow!"

Lin Ge let out a lazy shout, turned around and turned his back to Brother Yang, then ordered his men to disband.

"Meow!"

"Woo!"

One by one, the cats that had been behaving themselves quickly scattered. Some lay down on the spot, some ran around and played, and some walked familiarly toward the warm room.

Anyway, nobody paid any attention to Brother Yang. Even his carefully tended money tree seemed to not recognize its owner, slowly barking at Lin Ge and swishing its tail as it walked towards the second floor of the prefab house.

Brother Yang was so angry his face turned green.

"Pfft!"

Seeing Da Yang's embarrassed expression, Jian Ge suddenly burst out laughing. But when Da Yang looked over with a cold face, he resumed his expressionless demeanor.

Brother Yang is really having a headache.

He never expected the cat to be so disobedient. Although common sense tells him that cats are inherently capricious animals, this cat's existence directly impacted his future, leaving Brother Yang no choice but to act.

"Meow!"

Two naked, ugly cats peeked out from the second floor, meowing and urging Lin Ge downstairs. The yellow cat, whose tail was tied into a stick, meowed particularly shrilly, making Brother Yang even more irritated.

But what can he do?

You can't hit this little devil in front of you, and he doesn't understand your scolding. If it weren't for needing something from him, you'd really want to beat him to death with a stick.

Big Brother Yang felt like his head was about to explode. All he wanted to do was go back and have another one to clear his head.

"Brother Yang, why don't you leave it to me?"

Zhao Zhigao, who had been quietly watching this scene, finally stepped forward.

Now that he possessed Mimi, a unique and invaluable asset, he knew this was his best opportunity. By exploiting Brother Yang's greed for Mimi, he was certain he could gain Brother Yang's complete trust and become the core of the gang, uncovering all their secrets.

"Then it's up to you, Gao. Do a good job!"

When Brother Yang looked at his useless subordinates who only knew how to spend money, cause him trouble, and waste his good stuff, and then at Zhao Zhigao who had volunteered, his attitude towards him immediately improved.

Now that the market in Zhangzhou has stabilized, the gang members who used to fight and kill seem to have no place to go. If it weren't for the fear of them reporting to the police, and if it weren't for the threat from Li Xiang's group, Brother Yang would even have the urge to abandon them all.

Anyway, with Mimi and the immense wealth to look forward to during the Lunar New Year, what do other things matter?

Brother Yang glared at Brother Jian and the others with a look of disappointment, then looked at Zhao Zhigao.

"Mimi, come here?"

Zhao Zhigao squatted down and waved to Lin Ge from afar. He believed that with his and Lin Ge's tacit understanding, they could definitely become a key figure that Brother Yang absolutely could not do without.

"Are you really planning to train me like a circus performer?"

Lin Ge glared at Zhao Zhigao, not intending to let him have his way. He flicked his tail, turned around, and led the cats in the yard upstairs to the second floor, back into the warm room where the air conditioner was humming.

"This……"

Zhao Zhigao squatted awkwardly on the spot.

"Pfft..."

Brother Jian laughed again, finding this ambitious young man's attempt to climb the ranks utterly laughable. Who did he think he was? He was just lucky to have run into this cat first! To think he could use this achievement to climb over him was simply a pipe dream.

but……

If you can build a good relationship with this cat, you might actually gain more influence within the team.

With a quick glance, Brother Jian also got an idea.

He hurriedly left the repair shop, returning half an hour later with a bag of cat treats, canned cat food, cat toys, and other items. Ignoring the bewildered looks on the faces of the others, he barged into the room and laid out all the goodies. "Mimi, come and eat some goodies!"

He poured out all the cat treats and canned cat food. Seeing all the cats curiously and eagerly crowding around, Jian Ge chased them away while watching expectantly as the cat king, who was dozing on the pillow, was curled up.

Lin Ge looked up at Jian Ge but ignored him.

As for the stuffed mice, cat toys, and even mochi balls and mint balls that he started playing with again, Lin Ge had absolutely no interest in them.

"whispering sound!"

After teasing Ling Ge for a while and seeing that he ignored him, Jian Ge lost interest. He threw the toy on the ground, ignored the other cats that came to fawn over him, and turned to leave, grumbling. As for the unopened cat food can on the ground, let those stupid cats do whatever they want with it.

"Mimi? Do you want your fur brushed?"

The green-haired monkey held a wooden comb it had somehow acquired, looking at Lin Ge with anticipation and longing.

People always strive for higher positions. It's already clear that Brother Jian is no longer valued by Brother Yang. Who doesn't have their own little schemes?

He even picked up a fat black cat that was passing by and took the initiative to groom it, showing it to Lin Ge. It has to be said that this guy was quite skilled, and might even have come from a barbershop, as he made the black cat whine and hold its tail high with just a comb.

But Lingo remained oblivious, preoccupied with the safety of the white cat and the old dog. Judging by the sky, snow was just days away. If the white cat didn't find a safe haven, it feared this winter wouldn't be easy for it.

"But then again, why should I be so worried about that thing? It has nothing to do with me, right?"

Lin Ge rested his head on his paws, pondering with some confusion.

One gang member after another appeared, trying their best to curry favor with Lin Ge, hoping to improve their own status and get more benefits from Brother Yang.

No matter how hard they tried, the seemingly irritating cat remained completely unresponsive. While the other cats in the house ate their fill of delicious food, the one on the pillow showed no interest whatsoever in even glancing at them, behaving aloof and annoyingly.

Even though they were very unhappy, under Brother Yang's orders and tacit approval, they still had no choice but to come and do the job of pleasing a cat.

"Tsk tsk... Humans are inferior to cats!"

The repair shop workers also heard the commotion behind them and saw the guys who were originally acting like idiots leaving in a hurry, only to run back with all sorts of cat supplies they had bought from who-knows-where, behaving more like cat slaves than the cat owners themselves.

Even after learning that Brother Yang was offering a hefty reward for anyone who could make the cat obey, the workers were all tempted.

"Mimi, you're so cute! Can I hug you?"

The receptionist at the auto repair shop, who had abandoned her work, walked towards Lin Ge in a sweet, coquettish voice. She didn't actually like cats, but this cat represented several months' worth of her salary. She couldn't bear not giving it a try.

"Mimi, I know a place where there's a super beautiful female cat. Shall I take you there?"

"Mimi, let's eat fish!"

"Mimi..."

From day to night, Lingo was thoroughly annoyed by the harassment. The other cats, however, were used to this scene, knowing that every time someone came in, it meant something good was coming, and they would sit expectantly at the door, welcoming each of their human servants.

The fat black cat, who eats the most, has no bottom line. Whenever someone comes in, it will try to rub against them, but it is usually just moved aside with its paw.

Even in the evening, Brother Yang and that guy named Simba came over.

Seeing this, Little Yang just scoffed and mocked Big Yang. Simba, on the other hand, carefully observed Linko, even poking at it with a stick and getting scratched a couple of times, confirming that this cat possessed extraordinary strength.

"It really is a good cat. Da Yang, you're lucky this time."

Simba was somewhat tempted, even having an urge to snatch the cat back. Ultimately, however, Yang and his brother were stronger, so he could only light a cigarette and say, "With this cat, next year's harvest is something to look forward to. But Yang, when did you report the Aowei International matter to the police? Things have been quite turbulent these past few days; the police and the government have inexplicably started cracking down on e-cigarettes. Do you think this is a coincidence or…?"

"The mole?"

Brother Yang uttered two words, his face turning extremely gloomy.

"It's not that exaggerated! I guess those people were too arrogant and didn't take the police seriously, so they naturally got their comeuppance."

Big Brother Yang waved his hand and glared at Little Brother Yang and Brother Simba: "You guys don't think I just mess around with this cat every day and don't do anything serious, do you? I know more about the underworld than you two do. That bitch Li Xiang seems all high and mighty on the surface, but it's only a matter of time before she gets caught. Heh... Drugs on the shelves, does she really think the country is useless? I heard this time it started at a university, two college students she harmed forced the government to intervene. What a fucking idiot, doesn't that bitch understand why this industry is called an underground business? She's playing it so high-profile, I suspect she's not after the market, her only goal is to destabilize the country."

"hiss……"

Simba gasped, never expecting that Brother Yang could come up with such an analysis.

However, it must be admitted that Brother Yang's words make some sense. The people at Aowei International are fundamentally different from traditional drug dealers. Their actions don't seem to be about cultivating drug addicts and making a long-term profit. They might just be there to stir up trouble.

"Foreign forces?"

Brother Yang squinted, feeling very displeased.

Even if those people's motives might be truly unusual, it's undeniable that they've disrupted the drug market. Regardless of how the government deals with them, they themselves will inevitably be caught in the crossfire and forced to temporarily cease their activities.

"Do you think we should add some more fuel to the fire?"

Brother Yang, who was fearless, thought for a moment and looked up, saying, "How about we find a way to give Li Xiang's identity and intelligence to the police? Once they're completely finished, we might still have a chance to get a share of the market they left behind."

"Is there a hidden mastermind behind us? Indeed... Thanks to Mimi, our goods next year will definitely be plentiful, as we have a need to expand outwards..."

Big Brother Yang's ambition grew even larger because of Lin Ge's appearance. He, who had been cautious before, now only had a bright future in his mind. But then, his habitual indecisiveness kicked in again, and he shook his head, saying, "Forget it! We should be staying far away right now; getting too close would be suicide. Our goods are better; seizing the market will be a piece of cake. Let those idiots from other places be the first to stick their necks out."

"whispering sound!"

Little Yang snorted coldly in displeasure, but this time he didn't refute Big Yang's opinion. No matter how much he argued with Big Yang, he would still obey Big Yang's orders on important matters.

"It's a pity I haven't had a chance to enjoy that good stuff many times."

Simba was savoring the good stuff Li Xiang and her group had gotten, thinking they were geniuses for even managing to create semi-poisons and mixed poisons. He was even tempted to take their stuff after Li Xiang and her group were taken down…

Knowing that Brother Yang would definitely not agree, Brother Simba kept the matter to himself and did not say anything.

"So what do we do now? Besides trying to please this cat, should we just lie low for the time being? Damn, this cat is weird. If the medicine works on it, there won't be so much trouble. We can just put it in a cage and wait for the day to send it over."

Brother Yang pointed to the damn cat on the second floor across the street, looking out from its doorway at the balcony.

"Ow!"

Seemingly sensing the malice from this side, the cat suddenly stared in their direction and growled, startling Brother Yang.

For some reason, Brother Yang saw contempt in the cat's eyes. He was annoyed and even wanted to grab an iron rod and beat it to death, but since the cat was a living ancestor, Brother Yang had to hold back.

After the three talked for a while, Little Yang taught Big Yang to find someone who did overseas live streaming and buy a batch of more expensive cat food online, before shifting the topic to another direction.

"Da Yang, what are your plans for your wife? To be honest, our hometown is too poor. Are you willing to leave her alone there? Da Bao should be starting elementary school this year, right? Shouldn't you transfer him to a school in Zhang City where the education level is better?"

"..."

Brother Yang was silent for a long time before saying helplessly, "There's no other way, let's just endure it for another two years. Apart from Ah Gao, all of us brothers are from the same village, and we are more trustworthy. If you send your sister-in-law over, it's like losing our core group, it's not worth it."

Brother Yang nodded.

Simba chimed in, "Xiaohua and Xiaorong's relationship is also a problem; it's best if they don't meet. What's going on here? They're perfectly good sisters, how did they become like enemies?"

"Hehe... Sister-in-law, you don't know, we're doing business that gets us shot."

Little Yang laughed foolishly.

Even though he's a ruthless and menacing man when facing outsiders, and shows no mercy to his own brother, he's still the same mischievous brother-in-law who gives his sister-in-law headaches, frustrations, and tender care.
