I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

However, Pado was prepared for this. Instead of rushing to escape, she smiled and waved to the security personnel who wanted to arrest her.

Then, just as all the people rushed up to the second floor and were about to surround the cat, she smiled and nimbly leaped behind her, using the advertising banners hanging in the mall to easily land on the first floor.

"Hey, I'll be going now, no need to see me off!"

After saying that, Pado didn't give anyone else a chance to react and rushed into a blind spot in the surveillance cameras on the first floor of the mall, which she had scouted out beforehand.

She rushed to her death.

They've gone into the alley! Go after them quickly!

The security personnel snapped out of their daze at the sound coming from the communicator and rushed back to the first floor. A few quick-moving individuals, taking advantage of their proximity, were the first to dash towards the blind spot.

However, when they arrived, they discovered that there was no one there at all...

"This...this is a ghost?!"

"That's impossible! I saw her jump down! And then she rushed this way!"

In an instant, a chill ran down the spines of the security personnel, causing them to shiver uncontrollably.

"Quickly turn on the lights and see if anything is missing!"

……

Two streets away from Daigo Plaza—

"Oh dear! That was close! It's all thanks to Gretchen!" Padre, who had been summoned in time, patted her chest and exclaimed to the person next to her.

Hearing the words of the person in front of her, Gretchen reached out and took off her mask, revealing a smile as she said, "Sister Pado, are you sure there are no problems here? For example, being photographed putting away the piano or something? If not, let's go and meet up with Sister Xiaoshi."

"We're confident we weren't photographed. Let's go, those big shots should have received the news by now. Let's meet up with Boss Shi before they arrive."

"Ah."

Chapter 99 The Little Tiger Who Learned the News

Poetic and Elegant Home —

"What did you say? Daigo Plaza was robbed!?"

"*Longmen swear words*, my piano is gone?!"

Swire, who was in a fairly good mood and chatting casually with Hoshiguma, suddenly exploded after receiving a phone call.

"You've confirmed you got the footage of that guy? Keep searching! I'm on my way right now. I don't believe it, where could Padova Philis possibly run off to with such a huge piano!" With that, Swire hung up the phone and slammed her hand on the table.

"Looks like we all guessed wrong about the 'Dragon Gate Thief's' target. But this time, she actually stole a piano? That's quite unexpected." Hoshiguma, having gleaned some information from Swire's brief phone conversation, shrugged and sighed.

To be honest, although Hoshiguma had considered that the "Dragon Gate Thief" might use a diversionary tactic to steal something else, she really hadn't expected that the guy would steal something so big this time.

She had never seen the piano that Swire mentioned, but since it belonged to a wealthy woman, it must be a high-quality instrument, and presumably it wouldn't be too small or too light.

Most people would be crazy to steal something like this; it's so difficult to even move. You could say the "Dragon Gate Thieves" are no ordinary people...

"Forget about the little thing, but that Padrephilis actually dared to set her sights on my piano this time, she's finished!! Hoshiguma, let's go!" At this moment, Swire's tone was tinged with rage.

"Okay, should we call Old Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Hoshiguma nodded slightly, stood up, picked up the shield that was placed to the side, and asked.

"No need, we have enough manpower over there. Let her stay here and rest. She's had quite a few things happen to her today." After hearing Hoshiguma's question, Swire pondered for a moment and shook her head.

“Alright, let’s go then.” With that, Hoshiguma didn’t hesitate any longer, picked up her shield, and drove off.

After quickly packing her things, Swire followed.

As for the safety of the two of them staying here, they were not worried. After all, the guards around the house had not been withdrawn, and there was also Lin Yuxia lurking in the shadows nearby, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

Even if something really happens, the noise would be enough to wake Chen up and get him to deal with the situation.

--------

At this very moment, the culprit that made Longmen's peaceful night "lively" is leisurely having a late-night snack with two other people in front of a small, unassuming restaurant.

"Hmm, these steamed buns are pretty good, it's a pity the canned goods aren't here." Pado sighed as she slurped up the delicious soup from the soup dumpling.

Although cats can summon canned food to their side at any time, doing so might frighten the cat and compromise its safety.

"It's nothing, you can just bring your own canned food next time." Xiao Shi waved his hand dismissively after hearing Pado's sigh.

"But Boss Shi and Sister Gretchen weren't there at that time, um... how about we get together again next time and invite Ahua too."

"We'll introduce you to An Suo later. Her expression when she meets you, Boss Shi, will be hilarious!"

Pado gently wagged her tail and said these words with a smile, then looked at the other two with expectant eyes, waiting for their answer.

"Of course, the old antique and I have no problem. We can come out anytime." Meeting Paddy's expectant gaze, Xiao Shi agreed without hesitation, taking Hua's part with her.

After thinking about her recent plans, Gretchen nodded in agreement: "As for me, I'm fine with going back to before the Reunion Movement."

"Great! Let's meet up again next time." Hearing their reply, Pado couldn't help but smile brightly. After a while, she remembered her business and said:

"Let's take a look. It's almost time. Swire should have received the news and taken action by now. Let's finish eating and get ready."

"Gresh, go back and rest first."

"I'll go pay with Boss Shi. Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of people at Swire's place. I'll have to trouble you with the rest, Boss Shi!"

"Okay, I understand." Gretchen had no objections to Patto's arrangement and agreed softly.

After all, the little...big loli is a good child with a regular schedule, and there's nothing here that needs her help with.

"It's normal for the boss to step in for his underlings, but those people aren't exactly difficult to deal with, are they?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Shi didn't immediately agree, but instead cast a questioning glance at him.

Meeting Xiao Shi's questioning gaze, Pa Duo put on a pitiful expression and began to explain:

"That's true, but it's such a hassle. We don't have your convenient abilities, Boss. And if we get into a fight with those people, wouldn't our situation change from 'buying goods' to 'robbery'?"

"That won't do. We have principles when it comes to sourcing goods!"

"Uh, fine, fine, I really can't do anything with you. Who told you to be my little brother, Pado?"

"Hey~ Thanks, Boss!"

"Alright, focus on eating, or the buns will get cold."

"it is good."

--------

the other side--

The two drove at high speed to Taikoo Place. As soon as they parked, Swire got out and rushed into the mall, grabbing the security captain and asking:

"What's the current situation here? Have they caught the person yet?"

"No...no, the person hasn't been caught yet. As for the current situation..." After recognizing the person in front of him, the security captain didn't dare to delay and quickly began to explain everything they had learned from their investigation.

"..."

"Huh? What do you mean the piano just disappeared?! How could such a big piano just vanish like that? Are you sure it wasn't hidden away?" Swire said in disbelief after hearing the details from the person in front of her.

"In fact, the piano did disappear during the brief moment of the power outage. We've searched the mall and the surrounding area, but haven't found any trace of it... Miss Swire, you can check the security footage yourself." Looking at the agitated Swire in front of him, the security captain lowered his voice and suggested quietly.

"Come on, lead the way. I want to see what's going on." Swire knew that making things difficult for the person in front of her was pointless, so she waved her hand and said.

"Yes!"

While Swire and Hoshiguma were investigating the piano theft at Daigo Plaza, two "uninvited guests" arrived at Swire's villa area.

"I will turn everything around!"

"Haha, all of you better get some sleep!"

Chapter 100 It’s great to be young, fall asleep

"I will turn everything around!"

"Haha, all of you better get some sleep!"

"Varied……"

"..."

The quiet villa area was suddenly disrupted by two abrupt sentences. The guards who had been watching for any unusual activity in the shadows all felt a sudden darkness before their eyes and collapsed.

After all the people monitoring the area fell down, two uninvited guests quietly appeared beside them.

"Wow, as expected of Boss Shi, he solved them all in one go!" Looking at the people who had all fallen asleep on the ground, Pado blinked her eyes and gave a thumbs up to the person next to her.

"It's just a few people, no big deal." Upon hearing this, Xiao Shi crossed his arms and said smugly.

"Alright, my mission is complete. Now it's up to you, Pado. Don't disgrace the great Herrscher of Knowledge!"

"Hehe, I guarantee I'll complete the mission! Boss Shi, you should go back first. After finishing the final procedures, I should go back to find An Suo." Pado smiled and assured him after hearing Xiao Shi's words.

"Hmm, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself." With that, Xiao Shi nodded, turned around, and disappeared into the darkness.

"Goodbye, boss!"

After watching the person disappear from her sight, Pado wasted no more time and decided to leave and head towards Swire.

However, before she had gone very far, a familiar figure on the ground made her stop in her tracks.

The figure was none other than Lin Yuxia, the eldest daughter of the "Rat King" family, whom she had never officially met before, under the identity of Padofelis.

“…Youth is wonderful, you can fall asleep as soon as you lie down…mystery! What’s Lin Yuxia doing here?” Staring at the person on the ground who was all too familiar to her, Pado’s expression was as if she had seen a ghost.

To be honest, before seeing her, Pado never thought that Lin Yuxia would be here, and that she would be knocked unconscious by Xiao Shi along with everyone else by some twist of fate.

Won't she face retaliation after this?

After all, in the cat's view, knocking out a subordinate guard is completely different from knocking out the family member of a big shot from Lungmen! What the hell is going on? Why are you squatting here in the dark so late at night instead of sleeping?! You must be really bored!

"Sigh, we're really unlucky to have to move you over there." After a slight hesitation, Pado sighed and made her choice. She bent down and, as if carrying cargo, scooped up the unconscious Lin Yuxia from the ground and placed her on her shoulder.

"The weight is alright, but the object is quite large. Looks like I'll have to be more careful when hiding from the surveillance cameras." Pado gently weighed the person on her shoulder, wagged her tail, and started moving around somewhat dejectedly.

As for the others lying there, the cat

The cat could only say there was nothing she could do; she couldn't carry it all, especially since they were all men, moan!

However, the security in this villa area is actually quite good. The higher-ups should notice anything unusual here soon. Lying down for just a short while shouldn't be a big problem.

……

It took Pado and her companions some effort to evade the villa area's surveillance cameras and reach a corner outside Swire's house.
