Starting with taking in female college students

"Ring ring~"

The phone rang suddenly, and Li Shiwei's face immediately turned very depressed.

I took out my phone and saw that it was indeed the police station's landline number.

"Hey! Li Shiwei, back on duty! Someone reported that their elderly relative is missing. The last known location on the CCTV footage is in our neighborhood. Everyone, gather and help search!"

Chen Rang could hear the voice on the phone clearly.

Looking at the self-service barbecue he hadn't had enough of, he shrugged regretfully, quickly flipped the food that was already on the grill a few times to cook it, and stuffed it into his mouth in a few bites.

Li Shiwei also helped clean up the fruit, cake, and pudding on the plate, and the two hurriedly got up and left.

"How could an elderly person get lost in broad daylight?"

On the way back, Chen Rang was a little puzzled.

Since it was on the same route, he still rode in Li Shiwei's car. They had agreed to drop him off at the intersection where they would part ways, so they still had some time to spend together.

"These days, there are all sorts of strange things happening! It's nothing that someone gets lost in broad daylight, but there are also cases where a child disappears while someone is sleeping at night! We rushed over to help look for them, only to find that they were sleeping peacefully at their neighbor's house across the street."

Li Shiwei looked like she was making a fuss over nothing.

"Is that so? Why did he go to the apartment across the hall?"

"The two families know each other well! They're both working-class families who have to work night shifts, so they help each other pick up and drop off their kids and look after them. They both have keys to the house across the street, and they're used to their neighbor's kids sleeping at their house. So when the kids came over in the middle of the night, the people across the street didn't even notice anything unusual."

At this point, Li Shiwei sighed and said, "My neighbor is a firefighter, and he was helping us look for the child late at night! Who would have thought the child was hiding in his house? If I hadn't seen him when I went to the bathroom, who knows how long we would have searched."

Chen Rang was even more speechless, turning to Li Shiwei: "So you didn't just go look across the street?"

"Their whole family came out, and they said they have a very good relationship. Who would have thought?"

Li Shiwei was even more speechless, and sighed again, saying, "That's why I say! Being a neighborhood police officer at a local station really means you can encounter all sorts of things. It's not surprising that elderly people get lost in broad daylight; in fact, because of the good weather, they can even walk quite far!"

"..."

Chen Rang was now at a loss for words.

It's fair to say that no job is easy. People only see the glamorous and respectable life of a police officer, but they don't realize how troublesome the situations they often encounter are.

They soon reached the intersection where they needed to get off the bus, and Chen Rang couldn't help but ask, "Do you need my help? When it comes to finding someone, it's always better to have many hands full, right?"

"Alright, you don't need to worry about it."

Li Shiwei refused without hesitation and immediately stopped the car, forcing Chen Rang to get out.

She then waved casually, stepped on the gas, and the car quickly sped into the traffic.

"We definitely need to put buying a car in our plans."

Chen Rang watched the car's taillights disappear from sight and made a decision in his mind.

He returned to the clinic, and before he even opened the door, he saw six cats lined up across the glass. The six cats were squatting in a row, like six models on display. They were motionless, their eyes half-closed, quietly enjoying the rare sunlight in the alley.

This is also a bad thing about this alley.

Because the buildings on both sides are quite tall, and the alley is narrow, sunlight rarely shines directly in. This alley always seems somewhat secluded, and the humidity is also higher than outside.

"How about we take them out to get some sun?"

A thought popped into Chen Rang's head.

It's mainly because cats, as creatures, need to bask in the sun occasionally.

Sunbathing not only helps cats develop calcium and promotes vitamin D synthesis, but also kills mites and Malassezia fungi on their fur through ultraviolet rays. About twenty minutes of sun exposure daily can ensure a cat's health and longevity. Slightly higher outside temperatures will also make them more comfortable.

only……

Six cats!

Finding a way to get them more sun is a somewhat troublesome problem.

Chen Rang's clinic is located a little further inside the alley, and the sunniest spot is on the third floor, so he takes his laundry up there to dry every day. But carrying the six cats up to the third floor and back up again makes Chen Rang a little lazy.

"Meow?"

DouDou was puzzled when she saw her human return but didn't come inside.

It wasn't trying to cause trouble for its owner, nor did it insist on sunbathing. The reason a group of cats were gathered here was simply to follow the fading bright light.

Even then, as the sunlight disappeared, the little Ragdoll and the American Shorthair Tabby lazily turned back. The little Ragdoll went back to its favorite seat behind the counter, while the American Shorthair Tabby jumped onto the countertop and closed its eyes to doze off.

The big blue cat stared intently at the scenery outside the door, its eyes wide with curiosity even at the sights of passersby. The little Munchkin, however, was different. Seeing no excitement to be seen, it wagged its tail and went to its food bowl.

Finally, the old man lay down on the spot, revealing his hairy, snow-white belly to Chen Rang.

"Tomorrow!"

Chen Rang finally made a decision: he would take them out to bask in the sun for a while tomorrow, no matter what.

He took out his keys.

"Dr. Chen?"

Just then, a voice greeted me from behind. I looked up and saw Zhou Meijuan approaching. She had probably just finished get off work; she was holding a wrap and eating it as she walked.

"Dr. Chen, you just got back? How's my baby? Did anything happen today?"

"It's alright, the surgery is going well. You can come in and see it, but please don't do anything strenuous so it doesn't get excited."

Chen Rang opened the door, and Dou Dou and Grandpa Yin, who were blocking the entrance, quickly moved aside to let Chen Rang and Zhou Meijuan in.

That wretched DouDou stood up and tried to pull down Chen Rang's pants the moment he walked in, making him look quite embarrassed. After finally managing to chase it away, the big blue cat deliberately blocked the way, making it seem like he wouldn't get through unless he obediently submitted.

"Oh!"

Chen Rang sneered, picked it up, and casually tossed it onto the silver eunuch beside him. The two cats immediately started arguing.

"It's so lively!"

Zhou Meijuan was amazed to see so many cats in the clinic, which made her even more enthusiastic about Chen Rang.

She is undoubtedly a huge cat lover, and she holds others who share her love in high regard. Not to mention Chen Rang's youthful good looks and his cat-related work, which makes her quite interested in him.

"Dr. Chen, do you have a girlfriend?"

A woman with a straightforward personality is best at getting straight to the point. She went to check on her beloved cat lying in the cat house, then moved closer to Chen Rang.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Chen Rang paused for a moment, then refused to answer a question that would damage a man's dignity.

"Hehe... I was just asking out of curiosity. Actually, I don't have a boyfriend right now!" Feeling a hint in her tone, Zhou Meijuan quickly added, "For me, my darling is enough! Ordinary men aren't as obedient as my darling, nor are they as good at coaxing me. I don't want them! By the way, Dr. Chen, what kind of girlfriend are you planning to find? I know quite a few pretty girls, should I introduce you to some?"

"No need, thank you!"

Chen Rang waved his hand dismissively, refusing to continue the conversation.

After exchanging a few words, Zhou Meijuan, feeling somewhat embarrassed, said she had work to do that evening and would go home to finish it, then took her leave. Before leaving, she paid an extra 500 yuan as a deposit, requesting that Chen Rang use better quality medicine for her family's Lanbai.

"Is this woman also a rich woman? I can't tell from her clothes and appearance. Is she only so willing to spend money on her cats?"

Chen Rang muttered something intriguingly.

However, he never had the habit of prying into the identities of his customers; if they were willing to spend more money, he didn't mind making a profit. He went to the cat house to apply some medicine around the blue and white cat's eyes, and then fed the other cats cat food and removed their litter. Before he knew it, it was nightfall.

The sounds of square dancing from Chai Wan Market were already starting, attracting the big blue cat and the little ragdoll to peek over there. Unfortunately, the wall at the corner was too sturdy and too high, and they couldn't see anything.

Chen Rang, on the other hand, was chatting with Li Shiwei and Ni Youlin.

Li Shiwei replies to messages very slowly, only replying after a long time. It seems that the old man that the police station is searching for has not been found yet.

As for Ni Youlin, she replies to messages quickly, but often only with simple responses like "oh," "ah," or "okay," leaving people unsure how to continue the conversation.

Chen let them chat for a while, then put his phone down.

"Girlfriend..."

He looked at the sky outside, which was gradually darkening, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
