Chapter 474 Learn to Meow Like a Cat (8)
Yu Muhuai led Liu Yuexia to the door of that house, and then began scratching at the door with his cat paws.

The sound of her scratching at the door wasn't loud; it wasn't to wake the person inside, but rather to remind Liu Yuexia what to do.

Liu Yuexia initially tried to stop Yu Muhuai, fearing that she would wake up the residents inside and cause some unnecessary trouble.

But Yu Muhuai ignored her completely and continued scratching at the door, making an extremely grating scraping sound.

The main door of 204 is an old-fashioned security door, with an inner door and an outer iron gate with iron bars and ventilation.

The gaps between the bars on the iron gate were too small for Yu Muhuai to squeeze through, so he could only scratch at the iron gate with his claws.

While scratching, it also slapped the door with its little paws, making a crisp knocking sound.

In the quiet of the building's hallway late at night, the sound was exceptionally clear.

The motion-activated lights on the second floor are malfunctioning; they require a very loud noise to turn on. The commotion Yu Muhuai has caused so far hasn't turned on the lights in the hallway.

Seeing that Yu Muhuai was determined to open the door, Liu Yuexia gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and simply started banging on the door as well.

"Is anyone home? Is anyone there? Please open the door for me!"

Liu Yuexia didn't know why she trusted a cat so much.

This cat's behavior looks very strange.

If the other party opens the door and asks her what she's doing here, is she supposed to say that she followed a cat into a stranger's house to knock on the door?
I'd probably be mistaken for a lunatic and they'd call the police.
But at that moment, Liu Yuexia didn't have time to think about all that.

I did it as soon as I thought of it.

Perhaps it was because this cat was a rare source of light in her lonely, gloomy, and hopeless life.

Liu Yuexia thought this way, and she did this way.

The old house didn't have a doorbell, and her loud banging on the door quickly woke up several neighboring households.

The houses here are structured so that there are four households per floor.

The gas leak is at 204, which is on the far right side of the stairs.

At two o'clock in the morning, such knocking sounds like a loudspeaker right next to someone's ear.

"What are you doing? Can't a person get some sleep?"

"What's all the noise about? Are you crazy?"

"Knocking on the door so loudly in the middle of the night, do you want to die?"

Being woken up from a good night's sleep usually leaves one with a bit of morning grumpiness, and none of the neighbors are pleasant to talk to when they come out.

"Excuse me, I... I just need to talk to this family."

Seeing that her neighbors had all come out and started yelling at her, Liu Yuexia felt a little guilty and stopped banging on the door.

Liu Yuexia bought this second-hand house about ten years ago.

Society is different now than before; even some neighbors living across the hall don't know each other.

Moreover, there is a significant flow of people in the community every year, so they initially thought Liu Yuexia was a friend of 204.

It wasn't until the noise became so loud that the motion-activated light finally came on, and one of the people recognized Liu Yuexia.

"Hey? Aren't you that old lady who collects recyclables every day at the gate?"

Liu Yuexia nodded somewhat shyly.

"What do you want with Old Deng?"

Old Deng was the one who lived in room 204.

"I...I need to speak with him."

"You know Old Deng? Then give him a call!"

"I... I left in a hurry and forgot my phone."

She was telling the truth; she had been so focused on following Yu Muhuai out that she had indeed forgotten her phone.

Upon seeing this, the man who knew Liu Yuexia simply took out his phone and dialed Old Deng's number.

The people around her softened their attitude slightly after realizing that Liu Yuexia was also from the same neighborhood.

However, some people still complained quietly.

"In the middle of the night, an old woman comes looking for an elderly man living alone, and makes such a commotion. I wonder what she wants." Although the person's voice was soft, the hallway was small, and everyone could hear it clearly.

Including Liu Yuexia.

Liu Yuexia was naturally shy, and her face turned bright red instantly.

She stood there, unsure of what to do with her hands.

But she just stood there, showing no sign of blaming Yu Muhuai.

Yu Muhuai glanced sideways at the person who had just been muttering to himself.

This is a middle-aged woman around forty years old, somewhat overweight, who looks like someone who likes to gossip about everyday matters.

People in 202, yeah, got it.

A sinister green light emanated from Yu Muhuai's cat-like eyes.

The obese woman who had been gossiping suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

"Huh? It's getting colder? Be careful not to catch a cold."

The woman quickly ran back into the house, put on a coat, and then came out again to continue watching the commotion.

The person who knows Liu Yuexia is her neighbor in apartment 203, a woman around fifty years old who wears glasses and is frowning as she looks at her phone screen.

"Strange, why isn't Old Deng answering the phone?"

As she was talking, her husband came out.

Her husband was about the same age as her, short and stout, with a round belly, and he was yawning.

Hearing that the phone call couldn't get through, his wife was also puzzled. "What's wrong? Why isn't Old Deng responding? That's not right. He's usually a very light sleeper; even if I turn the TV up a bit, it can wake him up."

The gossipy woman in number 202 rolled her eyes and gave a soft snort.

"Hmph, who knows? Maybe he was exhausted from what he did earlier, so he slept like a log."

After speaking, the woman glanced sideways at Liu Yuexia.

The implication was quite obvious.

Suddenly, several loud crashes and shattering sounds came from room 202.

"Ah! What?!"

The woman was startled by the sudden sound and quickly turned and ran back into the room.

"Ah! My vase! Ah! My bowl, my cup!"

Just as the woman was standing inside the room roaring, a small black shadow darted out of room 202.

Yu Muhuai crouched down, pressed himself against the wall, and quickly ran back to the door of room 204 after doing his bad deed.

No one discovered her whereabouts.

At this moment, the elderly couple in room 203 were focused on Old Deng's matter and had no time to pay attention to the woman's cries in room 202.

The couple exchanged a glance and realized something was wrong.

“I saw the lights on in Old Deng’s house last night, so he definitely didn’t go out.”

"That's strange, why can't I wake him up?"

The woman continued making the phone call, while the man took a few steps forward and came to the door of room 204.

He knocked on the door and shouted, "Old Deng, open the door! It's me, Old Wang from next door!"

The man's knocking and voice were much louder. The old house wasn't very soundproof to begin with, and this time he woke up the people upstairs and downstairs.

People opened the doors one after another, some complaining, others whispering and gossiping.

When the woman in apartment 203 couldn't reach Old Deng by phone, she promptly called the police.

Yu Muhuai was finally relieved to see that someone had called the police.

She just had a really mean idea.
