Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 86 The Cat Crisis

Hu Lijun waited for the two elderly people downstairs, and didn't even have time to personally take his daughter to school.

As a result, he stood downstairs like an idiot for almost an hour before those two old geezers finally sluggishly came down. Not only did they have absolutely no sense of time, but they also kept complaining as they walked that it was all the police's fault and how much harm they had caused the two elderly people.

The old man even spent the middle of the night producing an injury assessment list, including various physical losses, compensation for vaccine side effects, and psychological damage compensation, listing more than a dozen items totaling tens of thousands of yuan. He then handed it to Hu Lijun with a stern face as soon as they met.

Hu Lijun smiled and took it without saying a word.

Anyway, there are staff members at the police station who specialize in handling these kinds of matters. There's no need for him to painstakingly explain things here, nor does he need to spend a single penny of his own money.

To be honest, today's incident was just cleaning up that stupid cat's mess, and it's not the first time.

The money wasted should be deducted from the stupid cat's salary!

Its human owner is that bastard Qian Wei!
Hu Lijun kept repeating this to himself, enduring the nagging of the two elderly people all the way, and drove them to the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Although it was still early, a long line had already formed outside the vaccine department.

Many people know that cats themselves cannot contract rabies, and the possibility of them being infected with the rabies virus from external sources is extremely low. Especially for pet cats and dogs, their living and contact environments are much cleaner than people imagine.

But how to put it? Whether you say it's better to be safe than sorry, or you're willing to pay to avoid trouble, getting vaccinated immediately after a cat or dog scratch is common sense. Interestingly, actual cat and dog owners are less likely to go to the vet after being scratched by their pets. After all, they trust their pets' health and are familiar with the symptoms and signs of rabies. Plus, most pet cats and dogs are vaccinated against rabies annually. Therefore, it's actually those like the elderly couple who were accidentally scratched who actually come to the CDC for vaccinations. They are more concerned about safety; after all, getting a shot is safer and doesn't cost them anything, right?
For Hu Lijun, it wasn't worth getting into a conflict with residents over such a trivial matter. No matter what the issue or what resident the police officer is arguing with, the officer is always at fault; this is a fundamental principle of their profession.

Of course, one thing is one thing, and another is another. Trying to use this incident to make exorbitant demands on the police is simply disrespecting the public security organs.

Ignoring the two elderly people's nagging from beginning to end, Hu Lijun silently helped them finish the first shot of the rabies vaccine.

The needle pricked them, and it hurt a lot. The two of them immediately became quiet.

Hu Lijun took the two home, only then revealing his exhaustion, and returned to the police station.

On the other side, Lin Ge woke up yawning and found that it was already noon.

This bed was indeed comfortable. For the first time, Lin Ge felt like a human being, just like in his previous life. Indeed, sleeping in a bed felt completely different from sleeping on a sofa, on the floor, in a tree, or in the grass…

No one was home. Lingo wandered around for a bit, ate some cat food, then hung the key around his neck and went out.

The clothes are no longer wearable.

As soon as he went downstairs, a familiar car drifted and stopped in front of Lin Ge.

Lin Ge remained calm, watching as a familiar face opened the door and got out of the car. He grinned and squatted down to pat the cat's head.

He tilted his head to avoid it.

"You're really causing me trouble!"

Zhang Yong wasn't insistent on petting the cat. He clapped his hands, stood up, and said, "You brat, do you know how hard I've worked these past few days? I finally planned to go home and rest for a few days, but I still have to clean up the mess you've made. I'm exhausted!"

"None of my business!"

Lingo flicked its tail and turned to walk back.

Zhang Yong shook his head, got back into his car, and parked it in the open-air parking space next to him. When he went up to the second floor, he found that the cat had already opened the door and was standing on the threshold to greet him.

As I opened the door and went inside, the cat kicked a pair of slippers at me with its hind paws.

"Is this my house or your house? How about you just take it as your pet?"

Zhang Yong smiled as he changed his shoes.

Looking around the living room, Zhang Yong frowned: "You bastard, entertaining guests at home? Ugh... this stench, is it that bastard Hu Lijun? Seriously, how dare he come over to spend the night when the owner isn't home?"

"Ningning agreed!"

A woman opened the door and came in, bending down to change her shoes as she said, "Zhang Yong, why do I hear you complaining as soon as you get home? Hu Lijun is your colleague, and Miaomiao is Ningning's good friend. Do you have a problem with them coming over to visit?"

Zhang Yong stiffened for a moment, then scratched his head and turned to grin foolishly: "Haha... What a coincidence, Xiaotong, you're back too? As for opinions, how could I dare to have any?"

"I'm sorry you don't dare!"

Yang Xiaotong snorted coldly, glancing indifferently at the cat at Zhang Yong's feet.

"Is this the cat you were talking about?" "Is this Zhang Yong's wife?"

A cat and a person, four eyes staring at each other.

It must be said that Yang Xiaotong is actually quite young and beautiful. In particular, her height, which appears to be even taller than Zhang Yong, and her well-proportioned figure make her worthy of the title of beauty.

Having spent most of her time indoors, her skin was very fair, and a small mole on the tip of her nose added a touch of individuality. Yet, no one who saw her could harbor any ill will. This was because the woman possessed a terrifying aura, like a tigress. Lin Ge even inexplicably saw countless skeletons reflected in her pupils. Each cat's flesh had been stripped clean, leaving only pale but neatly arranged skeletons, making him shudder involuntarily.

Looking up at Zhang Yong, Lin Ge showed a look of admiration.

To dare marry a woman like that is truly a brave man!
You are worthy of your name!

Relying on the fact that he was a cat and didn't need to be polite, Lin Ge flicked his tail at Yang Xiaotong as a greeting, then walked around her and tried to hide outside.

"Little kitty, are you hiding from me?"

A somber voice behind him made Lin Ge stop in his tracks.

"Are you afraid of me, or is the cat food I specially prepared for you not tasty enough? Oh, by the way, Zhang Yong, there are some freeze-dried food and cat treats I bought for this cat in the car. Go down and get them for me."

Yang Xiaotong turned around and urged Zhang Yong to go downstairs.

Seeing the cat squatting pitifully on the doormat, motionless, Yang Xiaotong took off her coat and hung it up. Then she beckoned to Lin Ge and said, "Come here, don't waste time. I'm quite interested in some of the things Zhang Yong told me before. Humph! A cat that can understand human speech, and even has a high IQ and can read and write, is truly incredible! While Zhang Yong is away, tell me where you came from? Which research institute or laboratory did you escape from?"

Lin Ge continued to play dumb, but alarm bells were ringing in his head.

He never expected this woman to speak so bluntly. So many people at the police station remained silent, ignoring his unusual behavior; why was this woman making such a fuss, insisting on taking it so seriously?
Zhang Yong, control your wife!

Seeing that the door next to him was still ajar, and that Yang Xiaotong was tidying up on the coffee table with her back to him, Lin Ge sensed something was wrong and decided to slip away.

"If you dare to run away, the next time we meet, it might be on the operating table in the lab!"

The woman's words made Lin Ge completely afraid to move.

Yang Xiaotong swept all the trash on the coffee table—unfinished snacks, half-empty bottles of milk, and other things—into the trash can. She's a very health-conscious person, but both she and her husband are busy with work, which means their precious daughter often has to eat junk food, making Yang Xiaotong very distressed.

Fortunately, our daughter is well-behaved and our husband is obedient, so we can manage the household chores.

Every time she goes home, she prepares plenty of nutritious snacks for her daughter, and Zhang Yong has to make several trips to carry them all.

"Come with me!"

Yang Xiaotong didn't turn around, waved to Lin Ge, and went into the bedroom first.

She opened the door and saw the wrinkles on the bed, which made her frown slightly. Looking down at the cat that had obediently followed her, she sighed, went over to straighten the sheets, wiped away the remaining crumbs, and then patted the mattress before sitting down.

"If you dare to get into my bed again, I'll skin you alive!"

The woman was saying some very frightening things.

Lin Ge nodded quickly.

"Xiaotong, don't buy so much next time. To be honest, Ningning doesn't like these things. Most of the time, I'll just eat them as midnight snacks."

Zhang Yong's voice came from outside.

"It's not a waste to give you this food; at least it's more hygienic than what you get at a late-night food stall."

Yang Xiaotong gave a casual reply, and Zhang Yong outside stopped arguing. Lin Ge hated this guy's useless behavior. "Why the hell can't you hurry up and run in to save people? Spending too much time with your wife is killing me!"

Yang Xiaotong stared intently at Lin Ge for a long time before finally smiling.

"Tell me! Where are you from? Of course, it's okay if you don't tell me. Let me guess. You're from Chu City, right? Around this time last year, something unexpected happened in my supervisor's lab. You were the survivor who escaped?"

"Hey?"

Lin Ge was taken aback.
