Starting with taking in female college students

"All of you, get back home!"

Chen Rang glared at Dou Dou and the four big blue cats who had followed him out.

He had just called Li Shiwei and decided to go downstairs to check the situation himself. But he didn't expect Dou Dou to react so quickly; the moment he opened the door, she rushed out first.

Before Chen Rang could chase it back, the big blue cat, the Munchkin cat, and the silver cat followed it out like little shadows.

The four cats stood together in the stairwell, all looking back at him; DouDou even started climbing the stairs, turning back halfway up to meow and urge him on. In short, no matter how Chen Rang tried to shoo them away, these guys had no intention of obediently going home.

This gave him a bit of a headache.

Because honestly, his time is very precious right now, and he doesn't have time to waste here.

It would take a few more minutes for Li Shiwei and the police officers to arrive. However, during this time, no one could guarantee that the bad guys who had sneaked into the house sometime earlier might have already finished their search and escaped during the gap.

If the other party really intended to escape, Chen Rang felt that even if he didn't need to be bold enough to step out and stop them, he should at least find a chance to get a clear look at their appearance and provide some assistance to the police.

He was already in his twenties, and he felt he still had the courage in this regard.

He just hadn't expected that DouDou and the others would insist on joining in the fun. But was this something they, as cats, should be involved in? It was already a somewhat dangerous situation, yet they still had to come and get in the way, which annoyed Chen Rang to no end.

"Aww!"

DouDou didn't care what Chen Rang thought; it was always there for these kinds of fun things. Especially seeing its owner's serious and anxious expression, of course it had to help!

So it impatiently howled at Chen Rang twice, then rushed downstairs without looking back and slipped into the night.

Chen Rang then looked at the other three cats.

Silver Grandpa, who had followed the cat out, was a bit timid and tried to sneak back into the house. But after the big blue cat turned around and meowed at him, he obediently snuggled up behind the big blue cat again.

As for the little dwarf, this thing is even bolder than DouDou! Its legs are not even as long as the stair treads, and its hind legs are even bandaged, but it still tried to climb down, and almost flipped over headfirst.

That is to say, Chen Rang had already removed the Elizabethan collar from its neck, otherwise it would have rolled far away long ago.

"I can't care less about you guys!"

Chen Rang vaguely heard the sound of a motorcycle starting outside. He could no longer care about these troublesome people and strode past the Munchkin cat downstairs.

The big blue cat quickly followed and ran after it.

After hesitating for a long time, Eunuch Yin finally followed along eagerly.

"Meow?"

The Munchkin cat, struggling to climb down the steep stairs, was dumbfounded. It watched helplessly as Chen Rang and the two other cats passed it and went down the stairs. Looking at the indeed intimidating stairs, it could only inch its way down step by step.

At this moment, Chen Rang had already seen what was happening at the cat cafe.

In the darkness of the night, the dim streetlights could only illuminate a very small area. Something that looked like a three-wheeled motorcycle was hidden in the darkness; only its outline and a lit taillight could be seen in the distance.

On the side of the motorcycle closest to the sidewalk, Chen Rang saw a person carrying something and loading it into the motorcycle. Another person was standing on the motorcycle helping to take it; the two worked silently and skillfully.

After the thing that looked like a television was put on the tricycle, the people on the tricycle quickly jumped off and started moving other things with the people below.

These two were actually quite clever. Instead of loading the items one by one from upstairs into the car, they moved all the things they wanted to steal down beforehand and hid them in a dark corner of the stairwell, then loaded them all into the car together.

This will save a lot of time.

In the darkness, the wind howled through the alley, making a loosely fixed "GG" sign rattle loudly in the distance.

A little further away, the teahouse with its lights on was still doing good business.

But no one expected that someone would dare to steal from so close by! If someone came out of the teahouse, they could easily see their furtive movements and shout, ruining their entire operation.

All I can say is that these two thieves are incredibly audacious.

Chen Rang didn't dare to take pictures with his phone, because if the phone screen lit up at night, it would be extremely conspicuous.

He just felt that the figures and heights of the two people not far away looked somewhat familiar.

"Are they the two people I hired to do the work during the day? Besides the neighbors, they're probably the only ones who could tell that Aunt Xie wasn't home. But why would they do this? Even if they're just doing odd jobs, their income isn't low."

Chen Rang muttered to himself, feeling somewhat puzzled.

He found it hard to understand the mindset of petty thieves. After all, in this day and age, you can live well no matter what you do. Even collecting scraps doesn't come cheap; why commit a crime?

It can only be said that some people just like to get something for nothing or get rich overnight; or they have some kind of spending habit and have to take risks because their income can't keep up.

He looks down on people like that.

"Why haven't the police arrived yet?"

Chen Rang didn't dare take out his phone, so he didn't know how much time had passed. Because of his slight nervousness, he felt that time seemed to fly by. Looking over there, the two men were already carrying the refrigerator onto the tricycle.

That thing was quite heavy, which was enough to prove the two men's insatiable greed.

Chen Rang took two more steps forward.

*Click!*

Suddenly, he accidentally stepped on a loose floor tile. The edge of the tile was lifted up by the sole of his foot, and as Chen Rang lifted his foot, it made a soft thud.

Chen Rang's expression changed slightly.

The two people who were moving things suddenly stopped.

It has to be said, these two guys have incredibly sharp ears. Actually, the alley wasn't particularly quiet; the wind and the clatter of mahjong tiles were quite clear. But somehow, they managed to notice even this tiny little disturbance.

"Is anyone there?"

"Over there?"

The two exchanged a glance, then very slowly placed the refrigerator back on the ground, before staring wide-eyed at the direction where Chen Rang was hiding.

"..."

Chen Rang felt his heart pounding like a drum, and he squatted on the ground, not daring to move.

But who would have thought there would be a loose floor tile on the ground? Most people wouldn't even consider this situation, let alone react to it.

The ability to leave the ground spotless and unobstructed like in the movies, or to precisely dodge the slightest anomaly with millisecond speed, is something even real secret agents cannot do.

"Is nobody here?"

After observing them for a long time, one of them spoke again. His voice was a little louder than before, and Chen Rang recognized it as the accent of the man in his sixties who had helped move things during the day.

"I'll go take a look!"

The other person was more cautious and did not dispel his doubts; he hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Chen Rang.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Rang prepared for a fight.

He found the paving stone that had been in his way, picked up one of the two palm-sized pieces, and held it firmly, ready to deliver a crushing blow at any moment.

Even though he knew very well that his strength and fighting experience were no match for someone like his opponent who had been doing manual labor for years, Chen Rang didn't think they would dare to keep entangled with him indefinitely, since one of them was acting righteously and the other was a petty thief.

If they were to fight and make even the slightest noise, two random people could come out of the teahouse over there, or a few random people could come down from the neighboring houses in this alley, and those two thieves wouldn't be able to escape.

So Chen Rang prepared himself, and after the other party got close, he smashed a brick into him, immediately making the biggest noise possible and disturbing all the neighbors.

afraid?

There must be some.

cowardly?

That doesn't exist at all!

As the man drew closer, Chen Rang prepared to strike.

"Is nobody here?"

The old man was still muttering to himself; he didn't seem to want to cause trouble, but he urged the man to hurry up and move the things.

The man didn't seem to be the kind of truly ruthless person who looked fierce and menacing. After taking a couple of steps, he felt guilty and stopped, not daring to continue probing into the darkness.

The two sides faced each other, probing each other, neither daring to take the initiative, and the situation remained deadlocked for a time.

suddenly……

"Aww!"

A pair of bright green eyes suddenly appeared from the darkness.

Accompanied by a chilling howl, a pair of seemingly glowing eyes suddenly shone into the man's gaze.

The two pairs of floating, eerie lights, along with the sound that appeared out of nowhere, startled the man instantly. He quickly backed away, nearly falling to the ground.
