Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 214 Here, your gift (Fourth update of 10,000 words, one more update to come)
They hadn't gone far from the arcade when Xie Tailong caught up with them again.

Seeing Luo Jue carrying many gifts in large and small bags, he enthusiastically helped carry some of them, and then asked curiously, "Where are you going? Can I come with you? My dad probably won't be back for several hours, and I'm really free right now."

"Go help Mimi pick out more gifts."

Luo Jue was no longer reserved in front of Xie Tailong. Pointing to Lin Ge, who was leading the way, she said, "We're going back in a few days. Mimi is planning to buy a gift for everyone she knows. She picked out a lot, and these are all of them."

Xie Tailong clicked his tongue and suddenly pointed at Lin Ge, saying, "Tsk! Not only does it play games, but it also knows how to bring gifts to people! I'm telling you, is this guy really not a human? Tell me secretly, does this cat secretly turn into a human at night?"

Lin Ge, who was walking at the front, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine!
This is the first time anyone has said that he was a human in disguise! Even Nie Guoqiang, who knew the most about his breasts, had never doubted this! Unexpectedly, the truth was revealed so casually by a little kid.

Fortunately, Xie Tailong was just saying it casually, probably because he'd watched too many cartoons. Seeing that Luo Jue didn't understand, he laughed it off and changed the subject, saying, "Are you going to keep buying things? You're really amazing, knowing so many people. By the way, Luo Jue, what's your gift? This cat bought so many things, surely none of them are for you? Let me tell you, if you see anything you like, just say so, you might as well take advantage of it."

Luo Jue shook her head and said calmly, "I already have a very precious gift, I don't need Mimi to buy me anything else."

"Tsk! How valuable could it be? More expensive than the imported toys my dad bought me?"

Xie Tailong asked curiously.

This time, no matter how he asked, Luo Jue wouldn't tell him. He just quietly watched the cat walking ahead, its image reflected in his pupils, and unconsciously quickened his pace to get closer to the cat.

Upon arriving at the silver jewelry store downstairs, under the inexplicable yet delighted gaze of the shop assistant, Lin Ge bought two not-so-cheap bracelets and had Luo Jue pay for them.

Two silver bracelets, one decorated with ginkgo leaves and the other with red maple leaves. Both are beautiful and exquisite, the kind of designs that show thoughtful attention, quite different from the generic styles found in ordinary jewelry stores.

Of course, the price was also quite attractive, almost making Lin Ge reluctant to spend the money.

After buying gifts for Jiang Yan and Yang Xiaotong, that was about all the things we needed to prepare. We didn't have enough time to carry anything else, so we had to go back to the hotel to drop things off first.

"Oh? You guys are staying at the Lanting Hotel too?"

Xie Tailong was stunned for a moment, then said regretfully, "If I had known we were staying at the same hotel, I would have come to visit you earlier! It's a real shame, I'm going home with my dad in a few days, so we'll just have to play together again next time."

"Ok!"

Luo Jue also looked disappointed.

This was the first time he had shown such an expression in public, and the first time he had encountered someone with whom he could interact as an equal, rather than someone who required him to defer to him like an older brother taking care of his younger siblings.

Lin Ge glanced back at Xie Tailong. It seemed like he could really visit Xie Tailong in Jinhua if he had the chance. It was rare for Luo Jue to have a true friend of the same age.

Back at the hotel, sure enough, a hundred pairs of socks had been delivered. The hotel staff even politely helped carry them into the room, saving Lin Ge a lot of trouble.

"Hey, what are all these bags and packages you've bought?"

Surprisingly, Qian Wei didn't go out this time, but stayed in his room. Hearing the noise next door, he went out and saw Lin Ge and Luo Jue, as well as a little boy who looked somewhat familiar but whom he had never seen before.

"Hello, uncle!"

Xie Tailong greeted Qian Wei very politely, a stark contrast to his previous carefree and generous demeanor in public.

"What did you buy? Is there anything for me?"

Qian Wei moved closer to Luo Jue, examining the mess of dolls, toys, jewelry, perfume, scarves, and other items in his hands, and unceremoniously planned to take advantage of him.

"You? You dare to challenge me?"

Lin Ge glared at Qian Wei. Where did this irresponsible cat owner get the nerve to ask his own cat for a gift?
He ignored Qian Wei, went straight into the room, and then lazily lay down at the foot of the bed, closing his eyes to rest.

Shopping can be tiring for cats too.

However, Lin Ge underestimated Qian Wei's shamelessness. He actually followed him in and picked up each of the gifts Luo Jue had placed on the table to examine. He clicked his tongue at each one, and after putting one down, he would glance at Lin Ge, which annoyed Lin Ge to no end.

"How about I take this?" Qian Wei suddenly picked up the scarf that Lin Ge was planning to give to the old lady and shamelessly wrapped it around his own neck.

"Ow!"

Lin Ge instantly flew into a rage, his eyes widening as he roared and prepared to attack Qian Wei.

"Just kidding, just kidding, why are you angry!"

Qian Wei quickly waved his hand to put the scarf down, then carefully folded it neatly under Lin Ge's angry glare and threats, and put it back into the gift bag.

"Really, there aren't any for me?"

Qian Wei, who had only been joking, was now genuinely resentful. This stinky cat had bought so many gifts—how many people was it going to give them to! And he, the one closest to it, wasn't getting a single one?
Lin Ge glared at this clueless bastard, thought for a moment, stood up, reached into Luo Jue's pocket, pulled out two unusable coins, and placed them on the bed sheet in front of Qian Wei.

"For me? But... what is this thing?"

Qian Wei was stunned for a moment, picked up the game token, and couldn't immediately guess what it was for. However, being someone who often traveled around, he knew that game tokens from different places were all pretty much the same. Qian Wei quickly realized what it was and stared at Lin Ge speechlessly, saying, "You stinky cat, is this how you try to fob me off? Game tokens, what use would I have for them? Even if you printed something nice on them, I could use them as decorations instead of this to fob me off, right?"

"You're lucky to have anything at all!"

Lin Ge lazily turned around, turning his back to Qian Wei, implying that he was dreaming.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Xie Tailong, who had been standing somewhat reservedly at the door, finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. The interaction between this uncle and the cat was simply hilarious. Did Luo Jue usually live in an environment like this?
only……

Seeing a policewoman's uniform neatly folded on the bedside table, along with the hat on top, Xie Tailong's eyes lit up. He turned to Luo Jue and asked, "Luo Jue, is your mother a police officer? Did you come on this business trip with her this time?"

Luo Jue paused for a moment, then silently shook her head.

Lin Ge then turned and looked up at Xie Tailong. "Also?"
"Oh! It's you!"

Qian Wei finally remembered why the boy's face looked so familiar; he actually looked at least 70% like his father.

He clenched his fist and looked at Xie Tailong in surprise, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be Xie Changjun's son, right? I saw him at the Municipal Bureau this morning. I didn't expect him to bring his son with him on this business trip."

"You know my father?"

This time it was Xie Tailong's turn to be surprised. Could this seemingly unreliable uncle in front of him also be a policeman? But his father is busy to death every day, so why does this uncle seem so idle?

"From Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province?"

Qian Wei chuckled smugly and waved to Xie Tailong, saying, "I was talking to your dad yesterday. He's a good policeman. It's just a pity that some things are thankless tasks, and he'll have some troubles to deal with these next few days!"

"..."

Xie Tailong remained silent.

There are things others may not know, but Xie Tailong, as Xie Changjun's son, certainly knows them. Ever since arriving in Zhuzhou, his father's mood has been rather low. Xie Tailong didn't dare ask, as he couldn't offer any help beyond not wanting to trouble his father.

Lin Ge finally became curious and looked up at Qian Wei with a questioning look, asking what was going on.

Qian Wei didn't hide anything, shrugging his shoulders and saying, "Mimi, you know how busy the Zhuzhou Public Security Bureau has been lately because of the matter we're in charge of. Hehe... Right now, let alone police officers from other places asking for help, even the Zhuzhou Municipal Bureau is already too busy with its own jurisdiction. All the police officers are busy outside, how can they have time to deal with a police officer from another place coming to ask for help? Anyway, Xie Changjun will probably have to wait a few more days, at least until the Municipal Bureau has some free time before they can deal with him."

How many more days?

Xie Tailong lowered his head.

He has to go back to school the day after tomorrow, and he can't afford to fall too far behind in his studies. He was even able to take leave to come out with his father this time because the school is organizing a study tour and there are no major courses. Normally, he's left home alone for these kinds of things, praying for his father's safety all day.
