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

No one likes the feeling of having their opponent constantly giving them hints during a silent battle... It made the little tiger feel frustrated.

Moreover, constantly following your opponent's hints will keep you at a disadvantage.

However, since Swire had already made the bold statement of putting people in jail, he was certainly not unprepared.

At this moment, Little Tiger was no longer staying at the port as Pado had imagined; he had already led his men and driven to the gang's hideout, which they had previously investigated. The message Pado sent was simply forwarded to Hoshiguma and the others for handling.

Swire wasn't stupid; if Padrephis could find something, she could find it too, and sometimes even faster. After all, she had been in Lungmen for quite some time.

Whether in terms of connections or other aspects, he has far more than a lone thief.

The main reason why the young tiger's actions always seem to be a step behind is due to limitations on her actions, not delays in information dissemination. She needs to abide by the law, and personnel transfers also require approval from above.

Padre, on the other hand, has no such worries and can act freely, even as a lawless outlaw. However, her weakness is also obvious: she has to rely entirely on herself for her investigations…

Otherwise, if she had such a convenient network of connections, why would the cat need to sell rice balls and threaten people?

Chapter 153 The Great Chase

While Patto and Swire were both rushing towards the gang's hideout with all their might, on the other side—

"Yes...yes." Secretary Dalewen had a very serious expression as he spoke with Wei Yanwu.

After his conversation with Wei Yanwu ended, Hei Suo, standing to the side, retrieved the phone from Wei Yanwu's special forces. As for why they were so cautious, it can only be said that those in positions of power always need to be vigilant about details.

However, it was precisely because of this vigilance that the secretary in charge of the phone book was able to have the opportunity to talk to Wei Yanwu without being noticed.

After watching Black Cloak put his phone away, Secretary Dalewen carefully asked, "So how do we deal with the thief monitoring outside? If you were to handle it, you should be able to resolve it in less than three minutes."

Upon hearing this, Hei Suo simply shook his head slightly. "This matter is not within our mission. You can handle it yourself by mobilizing your own manpower."

Delvin frowned slightly, about to say something more, but the black-clad figures in front of him gave him no more chances, disappearing without a trace at an extremely fast speed.

"..."

Looking at the room, which suddenly seemed a bit empty due to the lack of people, Dalevin couldn't help but shake his head. Then he took out his communicator and instructed the nearby Guard Bureau members: "According to Governor Wei's instructions, you need to go to area G7-06 and invite the guests to the Guard Bureau for pork chop rice, under the pretext of assisting with the investigation."

The plainclothes police officers who were on guard near Wei Yanwu's old house received the communication and also received a photo of the mission target (a secret target).

As seasoned veterans, they were highly adept at apprehending criminals. Even if the little girl in the photo didn't seem like a heinous criminal, they still had to obey orders and bring her to the police station.

After all, this is their responsibility and duty as members of the Guard Bureau.

After arranging the capture mission, Delvin immediately ordered the transport vehicles that had been prepared to move ahead of schedule.

In an instant, the three identical red luxury cars parked in the old mansion, all equipped with black tinted windows to prevent peeping, started up.

They were originally set up to confuse the bandits, and now they have become the best cover for Dalevin to hide his tracks and head to the house where Wei Yanwu is currently living.

Up to this point, everything is progressing slowly and steadily according to Wei Yanwu's plan.

While the people inside the mansion began to move quickly, An Suo, who was monitoring from the rooftop in the distance, was extremely bored.

You really can't blame her for this. You have to understand that almost a whole day has passed since Pado assigned her the task! She has been here for a long time, but the mansion in front of her is still unchanged.

She was both sleepy and bored, but afraid of missing something if she lost focus, she could only force herself to stay awake and continue monitoring.

"Canned food~ Why is nothing happening? I'm so bored..." After briefly withdrawing her gaze, An Suo took out a can of cat food from her pocket, skillfully opened it, and fed the fat cat next to her.

"Meow~"

Upon hearing this, the canned food stuck out its furry little head and rubbed against the tin can as a response before lowering its head and concentrating on eating.

Just when An Suo thought his mission was going to end without incident, something unexpected happened.

Miss Purple Rabbit suddenly noticed that some vendors and passersby had been subtly moving closer to her without her noticing.

Having spent so much time in the slums, An Suo still possessed a sense of vigilance and keen observation. Almost the instant she saw this scene, she sensed something was wrong.

The people who quickly gathered later confirmed her suspicions. If the people who had gathered earlier were just vendors and passersby, the arrival of those who shouldn't have been there at all seemed extremely incongruous.

There were even a very few who were wearing police uniforms and approached this area...

"..."

If she still didn't understand what was going on at this point, then she would have truly wasted her life. Without time for further analysis, she grabbed a can of food from the side and prepared to leave.

However, just as she turned around and before she could even go downstairs, she bumped head-on into several Royal Guard officers who had rushed up at some unknown time.

"Hey, um..."

Just as the Royal Guard officers were catching their breath and about to say something...

An Suo quickly retreated, then forcefully pulled on a small mechanism he had prepared beforehand. The rope was pulled, and a row of flowerpots placed at the rooftop entrance neatly hurled towards the police officers.

Just as Miss Rabbit had predicted, the sudden appearance of these flowerpots did cause the officers to pause their actions. Of course, she didn't expect such childish things to solve the problem; her secret weapon had always been…

"Canned food, thank you for your help!"

As soon as the girl finished speaking, the unusual-looking cat in her arms pounced on the police officers without hesitation.

So, just as the officers were shifting their attention away from the flowerpots, they were met with a large "fur ball" flying towards them.

With the added speed, even without extending its sharp claws, the canned food slammed into the lead officer, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.

Ground.

Of course, the other officers who came up were not spared either; they were all knocked down, grabbed, and scratched by him, taking advantage of his speed and weight.

Meanwhile, An Suo, who was not far away, seized the opportunity when the "enemy" was attracted by the canned food, broke out of the police officers' encirclement, and ran wildly downstairs.

As she ran, Miss Rabbit didn't forget to call out to those above, "Canned Food, remember to keep up!"

Finally, as expected, Canned Food did not linger after An Su escaped. It nimbly darted downstairs and successfully reunited with An Su.

As An Suo ran wildly down the stairwell clutching the canned food, she also kept her ears perked up, now completely caught between a tiger in front and a pursuer behind.

After all, the police officers aren't stupid. While secretly sending people up to arrest her, how could they not have arranged for people to keep watch downstairs?

However, Miss Purple Rabbit wasn't entirely without options. After rushing to the third floor, she stopped going down and suddenly turned and dashed into the corridor on the third floor of the building.

He then continued forward until he smashed through the glass at the edge of the corridor, jumped onto the large floor of the building outside, and quickly used the grappling hook he carried to hook onto one side and slide down.

After landing, she didn't dare to delay. She quickly rolled up her tools, grabbed the cat, and ran towards a distance where she wouldn't be easily observed.

From then on, Ansou briefly shook off the pursuing and ambush Imperial Guard officers.

Chapter 154 The Furry-Ridge Miss Rabbit

Having temporarily shaken off the pursuit of the Imperial Guard officers, An Suo dared not be careless and ran wildly along the alley, turning left and right.

She slowed down, panting heavily, and cautiously observed her surroundings. Just then, by sheer coincidence, three identical cars sped past the alleyway not far away.

"These cars... Miss Phyllis was right." Looking at the familiar vehicles, if someone still doesn't understand why they've suddenly been targeted, they've really wasted their time as a spy.

After realizing what was going on, she put down the canned food in her arms without hesitation, took out her phone, and sent the message she had prepared in advance to Pado.

Just as Ansuo finished doing all that, she heard another noise behind her, forcing her to stop resting, grab the canned food, and start running again.

Honestly, today's activity really made Miss Rabbit use up all the exercise she had done in a week...

……

"over there!"

"Stop! Don't run away! We just want you to come back and help with the investigation!"

As time went by, more and more police officers came to arrest An Suo. At first, she was able to handle the situation calmly and leave the people behind her some distance, but as time went on, she, who was already exhausted, could no longer keep up.

Just as Miss Purple Rabbit was running out of energy and gritted her teeth to turn right into an alley, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her, then covered her mouth.

"Pado asked me to come here, so be quiet and don't say anything. Just wait and see what happens next."

"..."

An Suo, who was suddenly grabbed and had her mouth covered, and was about to struggle, was calmed down by a sudden sentence from the person behind her.

Actually, it can't be said that she's completely calmed down. The main problem is that Miss Rabbit really can't run anymore, and it's only a matter of time before she gets caught. She even started considering a temporary release site for the canned food just now.

After all, even if she is infected, she is still a person. If she is arrested, at most she will be interrogated and go to jail.

But canned food is a different story, especially since someone was just injured. Under these circumstances, she dared not let the cat in her arms fall into the hands of the Guard Bureau.

A few breaths later, An Suo suddenly realized what the "good show" the stranger behind him, whose voice sounded somewhat familiar, meant.

The alley where she and the people behind her were located wasn't particularly narrow, but under the streetlights, it was quite spacious.

But in this situation, several Royal Guard officers who came from behind seemed to be blind, completely ignoring the two of them and passing by them openly.

Even as the police officers passed by, Miss Purple Rabbit could hear them saying things like, "Where's the strange person?" and "He probably ran that way, hurry up and chase after him."

"...?"

After watching the Imperial Guard officers who had conducted the search walk away, Ansuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, then carefully broke free from the person behind him and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

However, you don't know until you see it, and once you see it, Miss Rabbit feels like all the fur on her body stands on end!

"You, you, you, you!!"

"What, have you forgotten the great Herrscher of Knowledge so quickly?" Looking at the ruffled little rabbit in front of her, Xiao Shi asked with her hands on her hips and raising her eyebrows.

"Ah ha ha……"

Having already recognized the person before him, An Suo scratched his head and chuckled, "How could I forget? How could I possibly forget the great Herrscher of Knowledge! Well, since the matter is resolved, I won't waste your time any longer..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Purple Rabbit quietly backed away, clutching the can of food in her arms, looking like she was about to run away.

Let alone the doubts she had just had about the officers' strange behavior, the fact that she didn't run away now was a testament to how much bolder she'd become recently by hanging out with Pado, especially since the person in front of her had just mentioned the "cheap" boss's name...

Seeing An Suo's frightened rabbit-like appearance, Xiao Shi shook his head helplessly and said, "There's no one like me."

Help? You think you can just leave here? Do you know how many people are searching this area right now?

"If it weren't for that guy Pado, I wouldn't bother helping you. Stay close, I'll get you out of here."

After saying that, Xiao Shi stopped looking at An Suo's expression and walked towards the other end of the alley without looking back.

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, An Suo was slightly taken aback and did not choose to follow immediately. This was not her fault, mainly because her "cheap" boss had not told her about this before.

So for a while she was also conflicted about whether or not to follow this guy, whom she had only met once a long time ago and who had knocked her unconscious.

"Meow~"

Just as she was hesitating, the canned food she was holding let out a soft cry, jumped down from her arms, gestured to her, and then took the lead in following Xiao Shi ahead.

"..."

Seeing this, An Suo was still wary, but his doubts were somewhat dispelled. He stopped worrying and quickly followed after him.
