Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 11 Motherly Love
'Snapped! '

Lin Ge slammed his paw hard on the little tiger's head, so hard that the little tiger's chin hit the ground and its whole body rolled over.

"Meow?"

The little tabby let out a confused cry, got up, saw it was Lin Ge, paused for a moment, and then showed a wronged expression.

"What are you complaining about! If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how dangerous this world is for cats!"

Lin Ge glared angrily at the little tiger stripe, then stared at the black sedan as it backed away step by step.

The little tabby didn't know what was happening, but seeing Lin Ge's nervous expression, it also panicked. The little guy no longer cared about the birds in the cat cage, turned and darted out, quickly running to the corner of the road and barking at Lin Ge.

Lin Ge didn't turn around, nor did he bother to pay attention to the little brat.

He was in a bad mood.

Because just after he appeared and assumed a defensive posture, a grumbling voice came from inside the car. Then the rear right door opened, and the man he'd met once before emerged, looking utterly dejected.

Zhao Liang glanced at the failed cat trap, then looked back at Lin Ge, and then at the little tabby cat hunched over behind Lin Ge, pretending to be intimidated. He stomped his foot and said, "Damn it... this is the first time I've seen something like this! I expected the cat trap to fail, but it's so annoying that it's all because of a little pesky cat! Seriously... do I really have to do it myself? Actually, I didn't want to either. But... who told someone to raise the stakes, making you so valuable?"

Under Lin Ge's surprised gaze, Zhao Liang slowly put on his gloves, then turned around, bent down, and took out something that looked like a crossbow from the car.

This thing is made of pure metal, and the main body is only about the size of a palm. However, the grooved arrow slot that extends from the front is thirty or forty centimeters long.

Nocked a single-feathered crossbow bolt that looked like a dart, and slowly walked towards Lin Ge: "Don't worry, I won't kill you! Although that person wants your life, I think you can only be of the greatest value after you come to me."

Lin Ge's mood became increasingly tense and anxious.

He couldn't understand how things had gotten to this point, or how humans could go to such lengths for a cat!

A tranquilizer crossbow specifically designed to shoot cats and dogs? Lin Ge had only heard of such a thing in his previous life, but had never seen one in person.

But now, it has already set its sights on itself.

‘Crack! ’

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from behind him. Without turning around, Lin Ge knew that the man he had just met on the street was blocking his escape route.

These two are indeed in cahoots; it's quite an unexpectedly large operation.

"Meow~~"

The little tabby finally realized that something was wrong. It was frightened by the person coming from behind, and it trembled as it retreated to Lin Ge's side, hiding under his stomach.

"What are you hiding for?!"

Lingo used his tail to pull the little tabby out, then pushed it two steps towards the corner of the wall.

He knew perfectly well that these two people were only after him, and wouldn't have the slightest interest in a little mixed-breed cat with at least three different bloodlines: tabby, tortoiseshell, and domestic shorthair. As long as it stayed far enough away from him, the little tabby wouldn't be in any danger.

"Meow!"

But the little tiger stubbornly refused to leave Lin Ge. When pushed too hard, it revealed its ferocity. Instead of running away, it lowered its body and hissed at Zhao Liang.

Lin Ge no longer cared about this guy.

Zhao Liang looked at Lin Ge with disdain, after all, he had killed countless cats. He didn't think that a cat, being only slightly special, could escape his grasp and the crossbow skills he had practiced for so long.

His eyes lit up when he saw that the little tiger cub was actually resisting.

"Tiger, don't let either cat escape!"

Zhao Liang gave his companion some instructions, then slowly rested the crossbow on his right wrist and aimed at Lin Ge.

Lin Ge's hair stood on end; he felt an overwhelming sense of inescapable doom. The terror of life and death, the hunter's control over his prey, instilled in him an inexplicable sense of despair. Even though he knew perfectly well that with his abilities, a single leap could send him more than ten meters away, and he might just be targeted.

But what if? What if this guy really does have incredible crossbow skills? What if I can't dodge and everything is over?
He would rather endure the cat's body than die here.

Lin Ge extended all four claws, revealing sharp nails. He had decided to fight to the death! Instead of using his strength to escape, he would fight back head-on and teach this bastard a lesson! And all he needed to do was dodge the first arrow Zhao Liang fired!
"hiss……"

Zhao Liang shuddered; Lin Ge's gaze sent a chill down his spine. He didn't know what was going on with this cat, but right now he was determined to have it no matter what—he had to take it with him!
"Meow!"

Suddenly, a shrill and piercing meow rang out.

To Zhao Liang and Lin Ge's astonishment, a fully grown tortoiseshell cat descended from the sky. No one knew when it had climbed the tree, nor would anyone have imagined that it would charge down with such fury and fear.

The person blocking the alley entrance was bumped into by the tortoiseshell cat and knocked over before he could react.

Even after the tortoiseshell cat finished doing all that, it didn't run away. It scratched at the person's face like a madman. Every hair on its body stood on end, and it attacked while emitting a piercing, unpleasant scream that sent chills down the spine.

The sound carried extremely far, even startling residents in several nearby buildings.

"Damn! What nonsense is this? Where did this cat come from?"

Zhao Liang's face turned grim, and the sight of his companion struggling and rolling on the ground only added to his distress. Most importantly, this was something he couldn't possibly do in public, especially since the target was the police station's cat. If the commotion got out and they saw him, he'd be in serious trouble!
"Idiot, get back there yourself!"

Feeling a bit down, Zhao Liang simply put away his crossbow, left a comment, and turned to leave.

He hid the crossbow in his clothes and strode into the car. Just as someone curiously peeked out of the window not far away, he started the car and drove off in a hurry.

Lin Ge stopped in his lunging posture, staring in astonishment at the scene before him, never expecting things to turn out this way.

The tortoiseshell cat arrived just in time.

It was the little tiger cub that led him to danger, but it was the little tiger cub's mother who saved his life. It's such a strange cycle of cause and effect that it's hard to believe.

So Zhao Liang escaped, and Lin Ge was no longer nervous. He wasn't afraid of ordinary people without weapons. Seeing the man and the cat still fighting, the man called Tiger covering his face with his hands and kicking wildly, Lin Ge grinned and eagerly stepped forward.

"You think you're the tiger?!"

Lin Ge cursed and swung his claw at her, drawing blood instantly.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The man endured the attacks of the two cats, peering around through his fingers. Taking advantage of the tortoiseshell cat catching its breath, he got up and retreated while kicking and swatting at it.

Blood trickled slowly down his fingers and face, clearly indicating the man had been badly scratched. Normally, a cat wouldn't be so brave as to fight a human, but this tortoiseshell cat was a mother, and she had discovered her kittens were threatened. It risked a counterattack, even attacking despite the man's apparent injury; its right hind leg was visibly injured and remained curled up, not touching the ground. It was precisely this injury that fueled its ferocity.

But at this moment, Lin Ge had already taken over the position of main attacker, giving the men no chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

Unlike the tortoiseshell cat, which has a loud meow, low attack frequency, and mainly relies on intimidation, Lingo knows how to hit someone to hurt them the most. He first scratched the man's buttocks, then, as the man turned around, he sprang up and delivered a powerful rabbit kick to his groin.

"what--"

A scream rang out, the voice muffled, clearly indicating that the person was suppressing unbearable pain.

The man clutched his crotch with both hands, his eyes bulging out of their sockets. His blood-soaked face flushed even more, and his whole body trembled. After a long while, he took a deep breath, turned, and fled.

Lin Ge didn't let him go, continuing to attack him from behind, leaving bloody streaks. Even as the man tried to escape, Lin Ge leaped up and slammed his head into the man's lower back.

'Boom! '

The man stumbled and fell sideways, his face sliding more than a meter across the ground.

Several streaks of blood were instantly left on the ground.

At this point, Lin Ge didn't know what to do next.

He is, after all, a human being with human thoughts and a human bottom line; he couldn't simply aim a claw at a person's throat and kill them. Or rather, what if he killed the person? No one would accept a killer cat; he would certainly be disposed of anyway.

So... now we just hope someone has already called the police and they can arrive soon.

But the man understood this too. He didn't give Lin Ge any more time to hesitate. Just as Lin Ge stopped the eager little tiger-striped dog from approaching, the man endured the excruciating pain, got up, clutched his groin, and ran away.

Not far in front of him, Zhao Liang had not left.

He drove around a few houses and then stopped a short distance ahead. Instead of coming over to help the guy, he opened the window and revealed an even more intense and excited look in his eyes.
