Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 218 Home is still the best (3rd update of 10,000 words, please vote for monthly tickets)
Early the next morning, Lin Ge and Luo Jue saw Xie Tailong preparing to go home.

The kid was quite dashing, carrying only a small shoulder bag and a transparent acrylic suitcase. Inside were all the things he'd gotten from accompanying Xie Changjun on his business trip to Zhuzhou these past few days—figurines and mecha figures.

It's clear this kid is a huge fan of anime and manga, with a deep passion for anime girl figures even at such a young age. The transparent box, about the size of a computer case, was mostly filled with anime girl figures, along with a few mecha figures that are probably impossible to find in Jinhua City. It's obvious his father, Xie Changjun, has been having a rough time lately, but Xie Tailong is clearly living a very comfortable life. Just looking at the items in that box, whether through a lottery or by exchanging them, would probably cost a fortune.

Unfortunately, he had a doting father who didn't stop his son from playing with figurines and watching anime. Unable to provide emotional support, Xie Changjun made these little rubber figures keep his son company, and he even seemed to be deliberately encouraging this behavior.

"After all, it's better than going astray outside. To be honest, these things are just so-so. Who didn't play with toy soldiers and stuff when they were a kid?"

Xie Changjun is very generous to his son when it comes to collecting things. He also mentioned that he had a three-point agreement with Xie Tailong: if his grades dropped, all his collection would be destroyed. Unfortunately for Xie Tailong, he's quite ambitious, and his collection continues to grow.

"Goodbye! Next time you have the chance to take Jinhua out, I'll take you to the biggest anime and manga mall in our area!"

Xie Tailong said goodbye to Luo Jue with a flourish, then bowed to Lin Ge and waved, saying, "Mimi, thank you so much for yesterday! And since you're the boss, please remember to take good care of my dad. He's a bit of a simpleton, and he's suffering here all by himself!"

Xie Changjun, who was driving, was both annoyed and amused. He could only shake his head and then signal to Luo Jue and Lin Ge before starting the car to take his son to the high-speed rail station.

Lin Ge looked back at Luo Jue. There was a slight regret in the child's eyes, but it was gone in an instant.

Lin Ge didn't have much to offer in terms of comfort; after all, separation and reunion are emotions that everyone must experience in life. Luo Jue's life experiences are different from most children, and his future only makes people more eager to see what happens next.

After seeing Xie Tailong off, the person and the cat turned around and found a shared electric bicycle to go to the hospital.

As soon as Lin Ge reached the ward door, his steps abruptly halted. He smelled a familiar scent and heard a familiar voice. That bastard was coaxing a girl, his sweet talk escaping through the crack in the door with a pungent, sour smell.

"Zhang Ke? What brings him here?"

Lin Ge was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about the relationship between Zhang Ke and Sun Chang, and the fact that he lacked someone to take care of him here, he suddenly realized something.

Given that Qian Wei was unreliable and Sun Chang was injured, it was understandable that Nie Guoqiang would send another person. However, Lin Ge was somewhat surprised that the person sent was not Zhang Yong, Zhu Jun, or Jiang Yiyi, but Zhang Ke, a junior auxiliary police officer.

Hmm, could it be that Nie Guoqiang has already smelled the stench emanating from these two?
But if Lin Ge remembered correctly, Zhang Ke and Sun Chang seemed to have kept their relationship quite discreet at the station, even avoiding the jurisdiction of Zhanghe Police Station when they occasionally met. It just goes to show how cunning Nie Guoqiang was; nothing in the police station could be hidden from him.

With malicious intent, Lin Ge burst through the door and jumped in, as if to catch his wife in the act.

"Hey? Mimi, you're here?"

"Yo!"

The two people in the ward were not frightened, nor did they do anything shameful. Sun Chang lay lazily on the bed playing on her phone, while the warm-hearted Zhang Ke was feeding her porridge spoonful by spoonful. The atmosphere was quite proper.

Upon seeing Lin Ge, Sun Chang excitedly turned off his phone and said, "Mimi, I heard you did something big again yesterday? The deputy director of the Zhuzhou Public Security Bureau was so angry that he fainted? I heard that his subordinates had to pinch his philtrum to wake him up after he came in."

"Old Yang didn't kill that idiot?"

Lin Ge addressed Deputy Director Yang with an overly familiar tone, maliciously speculating that he must have been so angry he was about to have a stroke. After all, he looked incredibly sleepy yesterday, but who would have thought that his two-minute nap would be disrupted by his subordinates causing such a commotion.

"Haha...pfft..."

Sun Chang laughed so hard he spat out his porridge. He covered his mouth and took the tissue Zhang Ke handed him, wiping his mouth as he said, "You don't know, Director Yang sent that guy to clean the toilets! Haha... I heard that this week, he's booked all the toilets in the building. Including the women's toilet... Pfft... Cough! Cough! Okay, I'll stop laughing. Haha... I can't hold it in anymore. Zhang Ke, give me a back massage, I can't breathe, my stomach hurts so much..."

"You, don't pull the stitches off your wound."

Zhang Ke looked helplessly at the girl laughing hysterically, and could only gently pat her back while changing the subject, saying, "Mimi, Chief Nie asked me to pass on a message to you. He said you did a great job on the case in Zhuzhou! Especially knowing to get the police dog unit involved instead of keeping it all to yourself, Chief Nie praised you highly. Also, Chief Nie is on vacation these days, and Instructor Zheng is in charge of things at the station. You, don't go too far and get Instructor Zheng to give you trouble."

"Has Zheng Mingxing usurped the position?"

Lin Ge was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and curled his lip, not taking the warning seriously. That guy was just stubborn as a mule; deep down, didn't he still consider Lin Ge his ancestor? If he dared to criticize him even once, Lin Ge would dare to take action against Zheng Jiacheng!

Last time you only lost your fishing rod, right? Next time I'll go to your house with Zheng Jiacheng and dig out all your hidden stash of money!
Lin Ge was viciously thinking about how to teach Zheng Mingxing a lesson when Zheng Mingxing, thousands of miles away, seemed to sense it and couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

It was morning exercise time, and all the police officers, auxiliary police officers, logistics staff, and even the cats from the Zhanghe Police Station were in the courtyard listening to Zheng Mingxing's instructions. Suddenly, a sneeze rang out, and the scene fell into complete silence.

"Ahem! I was busy too late yesterday, I might have caught a cold. Everyone stand at attention, at ease! Everyone take responsibility for your tasks and hold your posts until Deputy Director Nie returns! Dismissed!"

Zheng Mingxing quickly ended his speech.

After everyone had left, Zheng Mingxing pulled out a tissue from his pocket and blew his nose hard. "Mimi must have been talking about you behind your back!"

Yu Zhengwei made a malicious guess without any politeness, and looked at Zheng Mingxing with a smile, saying, "Why are you so hypocritical? You're very happy about Mimi's contributions behind her back, but why do you have to say a few things to her in front of others that she doesn't like to hear?"

Zheng Mingxing paused for a moment, then continued stubbornly, "There's no such thing as saying one thing and meaning another; I'm just stating the facts! I'm the trainer at Zhanghe Police Station, responsible for the conduct, work attitude, and raising the political awareness of all police officers—these are my duties! Mimi is the police cat of Zhanghe Police Station, and she must also set an example by demonstrating the dignity and demeanor of the national police! And even if she has made a great contribution this time, her arrogant attitude afterward must be criticized! What kind of unit is the Zhuzhou Public Security Bureau? Does she think she can just barge into the director's office and interfere with the director's work? Listen to what's being said outside—she made the deputy director faint!"

"But I'm sure you know the truth. So, it's fine to say this to a colleague in the morning meeting, but please don't say it in front of Mimi."

Yu Zhengwei smiled and winked at Zheng Mingxing, saying, "You know, Mimi really knows how to fight. You're not as tough as Nie Guoqiang. If you get scratched by her claws, honestly, I don't think you'd be a match for her."

Without giving Zheng Mingxing a chance to continue his stubbornness, Yu Zhengwei waved his hand, went to his office to get his briefcase, and then drove to the city for a meeting.

The large-scale online fraud case encountered in Jinhua City has been reported to public security bureaus in all counties and cities nationwide. The covert nature and specific regional characteristics of telecom fraud have even put the Zhangzhou City Public Security Bureau on high alert, determined to first clean up its own jurisdiction. Otherwise, if a truly massive telecom fraud case breaks out, any region that gets involved will be severely embarrassed. Such cases, even with a little exposure, become major news that reaches the entire nation.

Lin Ge didn't really disturb Zhang Ke and Sun Chang's sweet talk.

These two may have acted very modestly in front of Lin Ge and the child, but who could tell from their regretful expressions? Even before Lin Ge had gone far away, his sharp ears had already heard Sun Chang's whining and sobbing, as well as Zhang Ke's gentle words of comfort.

"Tch! A nice guy, huh?"

With a slight pout, Lin Ge went to the neurosurgery department on another floor. Chen Song, the heroic policeman who bravely fought off the criminals, was hospitalized there.

When Lin Ge arrived, he saw Chen Song's wife, a very young woman, with a little girl who looked to be about two or three years old. Seeing Lin Ge strolling around the hospital so casually, she paused for a moment, but managed not to chase the intruder away.

Chen Song lay in bed receiving an IV drip, his entire waist and abdomen tightly wrapped in bandages, and his right wrist was also wrapped up in a large ball.

He seemed to be in good spirits, and upon seeing Lin Ge, he smiled and introduced Lin Ge to his wife. The little girl slowly walked over, wanting to play with Lin Ge, but he stopped his wife from taking their daughter away.

Lin Ge was very accommodating, so much so that even when the little girl tried to pull his ear and grab his tail, he only slightly moved aside and didn't make a move.

Seeing that the little girl was determined to come closer, Lin Ge helplessly rubbed his head against her, which made the little girl clap her hands and laugh.

"You shouldn't be so reckless next time."

Relieved, Chen Song's wife continued to scold her husband. Heaven knows how terrified she was when she first learned of his injury and hospitalization. The feeling of the sky collapsing instantly almost made her faint.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury! Besides, we can't let the culprit escape and give him the opportunity to harm people again in the future."

Chen Song waved his left hand dismissively, probably because he was craving a cigarette but had managed to resist. Seeing his wife tidying up the messy table and cleaning the floor in the ward, he didn't stop her, just watched with a slight smile.

The craving for cigarettes subsided considerably immediately.

After tidying up the ward, Chen Song's wife washed an apple from her bag and gave it to Luo Jue. The little girl wanted some too, but she shook her head and didn't give it to her. However, seeing that Lin Ge had no one to serve him, she thought for a moment and took out a handful of sunflower seeds that Chen Song used to curb his smoking habit, and peeled a few for Lin Ge.

Lin Ge was very accommodating and licked her palm.

After staying for about ten minutes, Lin Ge played with the little girl in the ward for a while. Seeing that Chen Song was recovering well and his wife was taking good care of him, he felt relieved and left with Luo Jue.

Just as I was about to leave the hospital, I saw Zhang Ke waiting at the entrance of the corridor.

"Mimi, you really were here."

Chao Lingge waved, and Zhang Ke came up with a smile, saying, "We weren't finished talking earlier, why are you leaving already? Captain Zhang Yong asked me to bring you something this time. Oh, it looks like an upgraded version of the collar you're wearing around your neck, do you want to try it on?"

"Upgraded version?"

Lin Ge was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Oh dear! I thought Yang Xiaotong hadn't responded to Jiang Yan's move, but it turns out she was busy preparing things and only just got it done!

Tsk tsk... This feud between the two women has benefited Lin Ge immensely. I wonder what amazing thing Yang Xiaotong will come up with this time, given the ancient formula pills Jiang Yan has obtained.
