Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 600 Good luck on the high school entrance exam!

The two women thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with seven suitable and pleasant-sounding names that could also be associated with seven sisters.

Actually, such names do exist, but many are unsuitable for cats or are too complicated to pronounce.

For example, the most suitable names would be the names of the Seven Fairy Maidens, such as Hua Lin, Tai Ying, Yu Hu, Mei Xian, Qing E, Wan Luo, and Yao Ji; or Jiang Gu, Qing Gu, Yun Gu, Yue Gu, Miao Gu, Bi Gu, and Zi Gu; or Jin Feng, Yin Feng, Yu Feng, Cai Feng, Cui Feng, Zhi Nu, and the Seven Fairy Maidens, etc., which all sound very nice, but are somewhat complicated and not quite appropriate.

After all, a name needs to be understandable and elicit a response from the recipient. Animals have limited cognitive abilities, so reduplicated monosyllabic words are the most common, such as 'mimi' which Lin Ge dislikes the most, and words like 'cat'.

You can't make the name too complicated and leave the other person unable to respond; that would be putting the cart before the horse.

However, finding seven sisters connected together is indeed quite complicated.

The two girls thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a satisfactory solution. Later, Lin Ge also got involved and shook his head in opposition to all of Sun Chang's suggestions.

This thing even has elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin and yang, which seems a bit inappropriate for a female cat.

"Or, how about Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti?"

Anxi, who had arrived at some unknown time, overheard the conversation between the two women and the cat, and also saw the seven kittens in Ling Ge's arms. She quickly joined in with great interest and offered her firm suggestion without hesitation.

"Dodo, Lailai, Mimi, Fafa, Suosuo, Lala, Xixi?"

Li Siyu muttered to herself, looked at Lin Ge, then at Sun Chang, and then back at An Qian. For a moment, she felt that it seemed okay, but she was also a little... unwilling.

After all, it wasn't her idea.

The women discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a solution.

Later, even all the women in the police station joined the discussion, each coming up with all sorts of names and showing great interest in the seven little dumplings.

Not only were these seven little guys distracting them at work, but they would also run to the cattery whenever they had a spare moment to call the seven little bundles of fur by their own names, trying to get them to respond first and confirm their names.

However, the little ones ignored everyone.

The women were not discouraged, especially Anxi, who stayed in the cat house from morning till night every day. Her perseverance was so strong that even Lin Ge was amazed.

The activity continued into the second week, and the little ones gradually became more energetic and began to explore the vast cattery world that was just for them, but they still didn't have an answer.

However, the women did manage to arrange the kittens' birth order.

Of the seven kittens, five resembled their mother and two resembled their father, but each one actually had subtle differences in fur color. It only took Lingo a few days to distinguish them all clearly, so he wouldn't make a mistake.

Surprisingly, these little ones adored Lin Ge, even more than they loved their mother. Throughout their infancy, their favorite thing to do was to snuggle up in Lin Ge's arms and wriggle to sleep. Whenever Lin Ge dared to get up, they would chirp incessantly. Their soft, tender, and pitiful cries were irresistible to Lin Ge, so he could only patiently lie still from head to toe, letting the little ones roll and fuss over him.

To be honest, lying down all day was incredibly boring for Lin Ge. But as soon as he saw these little things in his arms, he could regain his patience.

When the silly little fourth one rolled over and fell out of his arms, Lingo gently hooked it back into his embrace with his paw. At this time, they needed to be kept warm, and Lingo couldn't bear to let them get cold.

Over the next few days, the kittens grew much bigger.

Although they are not yet able to open their eyes, they can already determine Lingo's location through their sense of smell.

As long as Lin Ge is in the cat kennel, they constantly climb up to him and waddle around, trying to squeeze onto him. If Lin Ge walks a little further away and they can't catch up, they all pitifully meow, forcing Lin Ge to stop and patiently wait for them to wobble back like snails. After bumping into Lin Ge's leg, the little guys hug his leg with their soft paws and whine, insisting that the big cat lie down.

Lingo's embrace seemed to be the most fun and reassuring place for them, an attitude that even made the little doll a little jealous.

It squatted down next to Lingo and barked at him pitifully, making Lingo both amused and exasperated, and he could only give up his spot to the little doll.

Unfortunately, the little ones didn't seem to appreciate it. Their mother's embrace didn't seem as spacious as the adult cat's. They struggled in various ways, making the little Ragdoll cats busy taking care of them. Before the cat could even catch its eye, a little kitten would slip away from behind it.

But at this moment, the money tree will nimbly jump down from the cat tree, excitedly grab the little kitten, and return it to the little ragdoll's arms.

Sometimes, the little hawksbill turtles will come over and lie down like the little rag dolls, their limbs pressed against the rag dolls' limbs, surrounding the little bundles of fur in the middle, giving them a warmer and slightly more spacious environment to move around in.

In short, under the care of these older and younger mothers, the little ones grew very quickly. Around twenty days old, they began to toddle. By this time, their eyesight had mostly returned to normal, and they could walk and hop. Whenever they saw Lin Ge, they would immediately chase after his tail like pigs. Even if they fell halfway, they would quickly get up and insist on getting closer to Lin Ge. They even learned to climb, able to climb up and down Lin Ge quite easily. Sometimes, all seven cats would cling to Lin Ge, making him look like he had swollen up considerably. Lin Ge, however, wasn't angry at all; in fact, he seemed quite amused by it.

This was the first time he had personally experienced the entire process of a kitten growing up. The white cat hadn't been as involved back then, and it didn't feel like part of a family, so it couldn't appreciate the warmth it felt now.

So, apart from the trivial matters that Nie Guoqiang asked him to help with every day, Lin Ge spent most of his time obediently staying in the cat house, patiently taking care of the seven little guys.

He would even drive away large groups of curious onlookers, not allowing more than three people to enter the cattery. Or, if the little ones showed any sign of fear, Ringo would not hesitate to kick everyone out.

"Aren't you the mother of these little brats?"

Zhu Jun sneered unhappily, feeling that Mimi seemed to have changed her personality and was now a complete child slave!

"Isn't it good that Mimi is so family-oriented?"

Jiang Yiyi stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Zhu Jun, seemingly with a hidden meaning.

"I'll be even more family-oriented than it!"

Zhu Jun swore without hesitation that he would not be fooled by this woman's tricks at this moment.

The two are indeed discussing marriage. The biggest point of contention right now isn't the marriage certificate, but whether or not to hold a traditional wedding banquet with family and friends. Zhu Jun believes that since they're getting married, they should definitely have a banquet to announce it to the world, but Jiang Yiyi feels the banquet isn't important, and might even be optional. She plans to wait until the latter half of the year when they can both take a few days off before dealing with the banquet; for now, getting married and starting a new family is enough.

"Wouldn't this be unfair to you?"

Zhu Jun was somewhat unwilling.

"What's there to feel wronged about? I don't care about these things! As long as you're good to me, that's enough, although I know you wouldn't dare!"

Jiang Yiyi appeared very carefree. However, only Lin Ge and Sun Chang knew that Jiang Yiyi could sometimes be very unhappy.

No woman doesn't dream of wearing a wedding dress, especially on her wedding day, a time when she should be wearing one. However, given their busy work schedules, from June until the end of summer vacation is indeed the busiest time for everyone. The police station is always understaffed, and while the wedding ceremony may only take a day or two, it actually requires at least half a month or even a month to prepare. Where could the two of them find the time to take a long leave together?

"Mimi, tomorrow and the day after are the high school entrance exams. You need to cooperate with us and be on duty at the exam sites in our jurisdiction. You are not allowed to be absent!"

Nie Guoqiang found Lin Ge and gave him his work orders for tomorrow.

"Hey?"

Lin Ge looked up in surprise. He had been planning to go to Meimei's place tomorrow to try on the little dress that Meimei had specially bought for him!

"The high school entrance exam is a watershed moment that determines the results of a student's nine years of hard work. Children have worked hard for nine years, even to the point of exhaustion, and it all comes down to these two days. We cannot control or help every child get into a good high school, but we at least have the ability and obligation to help them avoid all sorts of unforeseen circumstances outside of the exam. Just imagine how regrettable it would be if a child's nine years of hard work were ruined by an accident or some trivial matter. Don't tell me about retaking the exam; isn't the time spent retaking it just as valuable? Or what if they could have scored even higher this year?"

Yu Zhengwei unusually attached great importance to this matter, even more so than when Nie Guoqiang and Lin Ge were away on business more than half a month ago, or when the college entrance examination in Zhangzhou City was held.

Because both the middle school entrance exam and the college entrance exam rely on the students' own abilities, there's virtually no room for police intervention. However, college entrance exam takers are generally around 18 years old, possessing stronger self-control and self-protection abilities than middle school entrance exam takers, and are most likely to resolve any unexpected situations smoothly. Furthermore, they have already experienced the middle school entrance exam, giving them some relevant experience; while middle school entrance exam takers… are facing their first real test, and their nervousness is understandable.

At this time, in addition to parents, the police and society must also provide all possible assistance.

Every year, there are students who forget to bring their exam admission ticket or lose their ID card, get lost, refuse to take the exam due to emotional distress, get injured, or face various difficulties due to family problems. At these times, they all need timely and valuable help.

The massive crowds surrounding the examination venue also necessitate the police's full efforts to maintain order. No one can predict what anxious parents might do, but they could potentially change the life of an innocent student. In situations like these, the police must stand firm at the school gates like anchors, quickly eliminating any abnormal situations or potential problems, and even, if necessary, cooperating with the armed police to use force.

"I want to go too? There are so many people, what would they need me for?"

Lin Ge was somewhat reluctant, mainly because he was just a cat, and it might not be of much use in a place like this. Even if a fight broke out or someone was injured, wouldn't a burly, strong policeman provide more security than a police cat?
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"

Nie Guoqiang's words left Lin Ge speechless.

Indeed, if any student fails the high school entrance exam because of something Lin Ge could have done but didn't, it's not that he can't forgive himself, but Lin Ge would definitely feel very unhappy every time he thinks about it.

So he nodded and accepted the task.

Yu Zhengwei quickly made arrangements: Lin Ge, Zhao Zhigang, Li Siyu, and Xie Lili were assigned to maintain order at the Youcheng Middle School exam site; Jiang Yiyi and Sun Chang, along with Yuan Meijuan and Liu Shuangquan, were responsible for maintaining order at another school's exam site. Zhu Jun and Huo Guangping, skilled drivers, each partnered with Feng Yi and Hu Lijun to handle student transportation to one exam site and assist traffic police with time-sensitive driving tasks. After all, police cars and professionals were more efficient at dealing with red-light violations, simplifying the subsequent handling. The remaining officers, Xie Hua and Yan Ziming, along with Chu Ting and Li Yiduo, handled civil affairs at the police station, while Zhang Yong, along with Zhang Ke and Qian Wei, focused on handling police incidents.

The Zhanghe Police Station now has many more personnel than before, although the number of auxiliary police officers is still somewhat insufficient, but it is enough to handle all matters, big and small, in the entire jurisdiction.

It is said that Zheng Mingxing is starting a plan to recruit auxiliary police officers again, but it is unknown whether the number of auxiliary police officers recruited this time can keep up with the efficiency of police officers being promoted to regular positions.

From Zhao Zhigang, Zhang Ke, and Li Yiduo to Sun Chang and Li Siyu, five auxiliary police officers at Zhanghe Police Station have been promoted to full-fledged positions in just over a year, a number that is almost unimaginable for other police stations.

However, the cases solved and the merits achieved by the Zhanghe Police Station, both big and small, are beyond the reach of other police stations. The promotion of the two young couples to full-fledged positions was well-deserved, and no one had any objections.

So you have a problem with me?

Zhao Zhigang glared at Xie Lili.

"Tch! You know your own business best!"

Xie Lili glared at Zhao Zhigang with disdain, then said dismissively, "Do I have to explain to you in detail how you got your official position? Getting shot is certainly remarkable, and it's not wrong to be recognized for your meritorious service due to your injuries; but compared to Changchang and Siyu, do you have any shame?"

"I...I'm a good man, I don't argue with women!"

Zhao Zhigang was speechless. He glared at Xie Lili for a long time, but he really had no way to deal with this sharp-tongued woman.

He knew that his family background and his parents' connections played a role in his becoming a permanent officer, which sometimes made him feel a little guilty. However, Zhao Zhigang also believed that since becoming a permanent officer, he had worked diligently and deserved his police uniform. He had suffered more injuries, big and small, than anyone else in the entire police station. Even if he jokingly said he had a bad luck streak, how could he have gotten hurt if he always stayed in the back?

Zhao Zhigang is very proud of this. As a police officer, he has never backed down when facing criminals and cases.

"Mimi, I have something to tell you!"

Xie Lili disdained arguing with someone as tongue-tied as Zhao Zhigang, and turned to tease Lin Ge with a grin, saying, "You know what? Those criminal suspects you arrested are finally going to trial. A few days ago, while you were being a stay-at-home dad, I received several emails from the Municipal Procuratorate. They've already filed public prosecutions against all the suspects in last summer's drug case. Besides, that guy named Zhu Wentao is also about to go to trial. And those bastards who picked up corpses, Xu and Tang, are about to face their own fate. Hehe... In my experience, these guys will most likely all get the death penalty; none of them will escape."

"Are they all sentenced to death? Yes, they certainly deserve to die!"

Lin Ge sighed, then, remembering that the initial case was almost a year ago, he felt the trial process was still somewhat slow. These guys shouldn't have been able to survive even a single day longer; letting them live an extra year was too good for them.

"You felt good hearing that, didn't you?"

Xie Lili patted Lin Ge's head, but Lin Ge dodged it without getting angry. She just said indignantly, "It's a pity that court trials also require waiting in line, and after the first trial there's a second trial. These guys definitely won't be willing to wait to die; they'll definitely try every means to delay. Sigh! The national law is too lenient on these kinds of people. I think we shouldn't give these kinds of people the opportunity to argue or appeal! Just execute them outright, and give every person who dares to commit a crime a bullet!"

As she spoke, Xie Lili made a gun shape with her fingers and then fired a shot at Lin Ge.

"Anyone can say that, but the police can't, you idiot! And what's with shooting at me?!"

Lin Ge glared at Xie Lili, feeling that although this woman had changed a lot, she still sometimes acted very brainlessly or willfully.

If some unscrupulous self-media outlets hear and misinterpret her words, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause for the Zhanghe Police Station.

Keep in mind that these people are in a very public place right now!
Under the scorching sun, Lin Ge, Zhao Zhigang, Li Siyu, and Xie Lili were maintaining order at the entrance of Youcheng Middle School.

With about half an hour to go, the students would officially enter the examination hall to face their first test after nine years of compulsory education. The school gate was packed with people, and the early morning sun was blazing, creating a tense atmosphere. Lin Ge squatted on the school gate's fence, seeing only nervous faces; no one knew if anyone might do something rash in their anxiety.

Even if Xie Lili's words are not wrong, if someone feels it's unlucky or something, it will be a big problem for the scene.

During the high school entrance examination, any disturbance could affect the students' concentration, and this must not be allowed to happen.

With two months to go, I wish all the students taking the high school entrance exam the best of luck in their studies and exams, and that they achieve top marks.
