The male supporting character was actually myself.

One of the larger cats sneered, "How dare you talk like that, you little kitten? You don't even know to greet your bird master? These young cats these days are getting worse and worse, thinking they've gotten too big for their britches just because humans treat them like royalty!"

"Ignore it, it's crazy!" Another voice, slightly clearer and more enthusiastic, said, "Tangyuan, you look even better in person than in the video. Looks like you're not photogenic."

"You know me?" Ye Xingluo was quite surprised.

The little parrot covered its mouth with its wings and chuckled twice, "Let me show you what we're capable of."

It flapped its wings and flew lightly to the person who was looking down at their phone not far away. It tilted its head and looked at them for a while before flying back. "That person just saw a news article saying that a twelve-year-old boy went missing on his way home from school in the southern part of the city, and now many people are spontaneously helping to find him."

Ye Xinglu raised an eyebrow slightly. So that's how they got their information!

"Little kittens, we're different from other pets," the large parrot said proudly, flapping its wings. "We can understand human speech, watch TV, use mobile phones, and read all kinds of news."

We can fly very high and see many things that you can't see while crawling on the ground.

If you can get us a bag of crispy sunflower seeds, we can tell you anything you want to know. Even if we don't have a satisfactory answer right now, we'll try our best to find clues for you.

The parrot thought for a moment and then added, "I like the green tea flavor."

"Heh, you're already so green, why do you still want green tea?" Ye Xingluo said coldly, "Before I provide you with melon seeds, you should at least give me some information so I know this money isn't wasted, right?"

The large parrot immediately cursed, "You stupid kitten, don't think we don't know what 'green' means. That's a human swear word! If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll call my dogs to bite you!"

Chapter Seventeen: Where There Are Cats, There Is Also a Martial World

"Don't talk nonsense, hero." The scarred cat nudged his hind leg with its paw and whispered, "These two parrots are quite something; they can whistle and bark at dogs!"

Ye Xingluo expressed her curiosity, "Can you call one for me to see?"

The large parrot paced back and forth on its perch in anger, yelling, "You ignorant little brat, watch out for the dog!"

After saying that, it imitated a clear whistling sound.

The scarred cat was so frightened that it quickly jumped onto the fence, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

However, after waiting for a while, the surroundings were quiet.

"Hey, that stupid dog must have stayed up too late last night and hasn't woken up yet!" The big parrot flapped its wings and shouted as it flew away, "You little kitten, you better not run away!"

The little parrot said helplessly, "Tangyuan, what information do you want to ask? I can give you some clues first. If you think it's worth it, bring melon seeds over to trade."

"Are you aware of any reports of stray dogs going missing?"

"A stray dog ​​has gone missing?" The little parrot tilted its head and thought for a moment. "Really? I haven't heard any news about cracking down on stray dog ​​captures lately. Which area's missing dog kennel are you looking for?"

Just then, the large parrot flew back, looking bewildered. "That's strange, the silly dog ​​isn't in its nest."

Ye Xinglu frowned slightly. "Could they have disappeared?"

"How could that be!" the parrot flapped its wings and replied, "That stupid dog was a little girl who used to rent a place on the sixth floor. She abandoned it by the trash can when she left."

At first, it was quite clean and pretty, and many people tried to lure it home with delicious food.

The silly dog ​​refused to leave, thinking the little girl would come back to find him.

It has been living in its den next to the trash can for almost three years, and its activity range has never left this street!

I heard noises coming from its kennel last night before I went to bed. How could it be missing?

The little parrot couldn't help but worry, "At this time of day, the silly dog ​​never goes out. Why isn't he in his nest?"

"Did you see any suspicious people last night? Or a van or something?"

"I think I heard the sound of a car passing by!"

After checking, both parties quickly determined that the stray dog ​​may have also been harmed.

Ye Xing found food scraps that looked similar to braised meat near the doghouse!

“Little kitten, you’re not fighting alone anymore.” The parrot looked into the distance, its voice growing weary. “Our dog has gone missing too!”

Now we must put aside our differences and unite all our resources to find the missing stray dog!

With their help, all the small animals in the West District quickly mobilized.

Visiting stray dogs that narrowly escaped capture;

The "consultation" was made on sparrows perched in trees near the scene of the crime;

Stray cats, stray dogs, and even mice living in the sewers, along with swallows and sparrows flying in the sky, and domesticated parrots and pigeons, quickly formed an effective information network through various "land, sea, and air" alliances.

Ye Xinglu was deeply moved at that moment.

Even animals of different species can be so united;

These little animals, whom I've never really paid any attention to before, are surprisingly efficient when they team up!

In the late afternoon, he set his sights on a village outside the North Third Ring Road.

At the same time, Jiang Chen, who was at work, suddenly received a task from the main system.

[Mission: Immediately proceed to Xiaoguo Village and rescue the protagonist, Ye Xingluo. Reward: 50 million RMB.]

The little white cat, who was playing a game, perked up. "What's going on? Is the main character in danger? Did they get kidnapped?"

Jiang Chen searched for the place name on his phone map and frowned slightly when he saw the distant Xiaoguo Village. "It's possible, otherwise why would it be so far away?"

Fortunately, I was prepared.

He opened the location app on his phone, and a small red dot kept flashing.

The location is still slowly moving, and the target is clearly Xiaoguo Village!

Jiang Chen immediately got up, asked his boss for leave, and drove north.

Xiaoguo Village is located next to the industrial zone.

The houses here have been expanded to include several floors, with many single rooms rented out to office workers from nearby factories.

It was rush hour, and the streets and alleys were rather deserted.

Occasionally, you can see several elderly landlords sitting together playing chess or cards.

"I heard you're looking for a dog?" The village's leader cat was a large tabby cat with shiny fur; it was clear that its life here was much more comfortable than that of stray cats in the city.

After all, they have a lot of farmland, and every now and then they can catch some wild game to enjoy. They are stronger and wilder than the cats that rummage through garbage cans in the city.

Ye Xinglu stepped forward and meowed, "That's right, do you know someone in the village is stealing dogs?"

"We cats don't get involved in dog matters." The tabby cat's eyes flashed with ferocity as it looked the big black cat up and down and chuckled, "Kid, you're not bad looking."

Are you interested in taking off your slave collar and eating and drinking well with me?

"I have several beautiful daughters; you can choose whichever you like!"

Scarface Cat scoffed, "Slave collar? You're really ignorant."

That's clearly a master's collar!

Being able to wear this specially customized collar indicates that one can manage at least one loyal and wealthy pet owner.

The things they eat every day are things we've never even heard of!

The tabby cat snorted, "So what if we're kept as pets by humans? What's there to be proud of?"

"Captive?" Scarface cat said longingly, "I imagine being driven around; eating delicious cat food and dried fish every day; sleeping in a warm cat bed; and my human buying me all sorts of toys and pretty clothes!"

Spring has arrived, and I have a beautiful little female cat sharing my bed with me.

There is air conditioning in summer and heating in winter;

During the day, you don't have to worry about going hungry, and at night you're not afraid of being exposed to wind and rain.

With such a good life, I'd gladly be kept as a pet!

The tabby cat meowed twice, "Then there's nothing to talk about. Get out of here right now!"

Seeing the seven or eight huge wildcats surrounding them, Scarface the cat timidly moved closer to Ye Xingluo. "What should we do? We definitely can't win! Why don't you just bear with it, boss?"

"It's just a fight." He was furious; he'd chased the guy all the way to the door and still got blocked.

The saying "where there are people, there is a world of its own" is not entirely accurate. There's a world of its own too, wherever there are stray cats!

The big black cat unleashed its full power, telling the scarred cat to wait for it, and then charged at the tabby cat.

"East of the village, there's a large, detached house in the east of the village." A moment later, under the protagonist's halo, a group of stray cats were scattered and defeated. The tabby cat lay on the ground and pointed in a direction with its paw. "For about half a year now, a lot of dogs have been brought to that house..."

Ye Xinglu flicked her sharp claws, gave a cold snort, and called to Scarface Cat, "Let's go take a look!"

Just as he caught sight of the courtyard the tabby cat had mentioned, he saw a familiar, slightly worn van drive out of the courtyard at breakneck speed, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Damn! There are so many stray cats in spring. If they weren't so skinny, we could catch a bunch!" The long-haired man driving the van glanced at the big black cat through the open window and laughed, "That black cat looks a lot like that one from the internet a few days ago, what's its name, Guiyuan?"

I saw it on a short video platform; apparently, its collar is custom-made and very expensive!

The person in the passenger seat immediately perked up upon hearing "expensive," craning their neck to look around. "Stop the car, stop the car! Quick, see if it's that cat!"

If so, arrest them!

Those who are willing to spend money on cats and dogs are rich people; catch one and get a reward!

Chapter Eighteen Encirclement and Suppression

"Screech!" The long-haired man driving the car slammed on the brakes upon hearing this.

They used to do this kind of work, specializing in scouting locations and stealing expensive pet dogs.

Once they get their hands on the dog, they keep it in a cage until the owner posts ads offering a reward for its return.

They used to make money quite quickly, but after the government strongly promoted leashing dogs, it became much more difficult to steal pet dogs, so they turned their attention to stray dogs that no one cared about.

They catch a batch of dogs and send them to a dog meat restaurant. Each person can earn about ten thousand yuan a month.

If that cat really is the one that goes viral online, its owner must cherish it very much!

If you catch the cat and lock it up for a few days, then wait for the cat owner to come looking for the cat at a high price and send it back, you can make a fortune for free. It's such a good deal!

"Waaaaah..."

The car that had just driven past quickly reversed back, and Scarface Cat was still sneakily looking at the yard excitedly, saying, "Boss, if we rescue those dogs, can you help me take over some territory?"

I love that street so much!

They sell all kinds of delicious food, and the aroma wafts for miles around at night…
