Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 307 Hell Demon
Children are the flowers of our motherland; this is no joke.

The distinction between generations of young people is proof of their dedication to the nation's development. But if one generation is ruined, the country will stagnate for many years before recovering. Even poison can spread…

In short, the impact of this matter was so great that Wu Chengrong was unable to make a decision.

He immediately reported it to his superiors, who then quickly reported it to their superiors, and so on, ensuring that the news reached the desks of important national departments in a very short time.

Lin Ge was unaware that the Zhangzhou Anti-Drug Brigade, as well as the Hubei Provincial Public Security Department and the Ministry of Public Security, were thrown into chaos by the message he had sent out.

Did Li Xiang and her group consider the consequences of their actions?

No one could have guessed it.

Lin Ge looked at the disgusting lackey not far away with disdain. It was the first time he had ever seen someone fawn over someone to the point of making him want to vomit.

However, it must be admitted that the result is gratifying.

Seeing the wavering thoughts among his men, Brother Yang became wary of all his brothers. At this moment, Zhao Zhigao's shameless fawning immediately satisfied Brother Yang, who then treated him as a trusted confidant.

After all, a boss needs a few obedient subordinates to follow his orders, right?
Even though he's in a slump now, Brother Yang is still thinking about making a comeback! He doesn't think that little girl Li Xiang can do anything to him. No matter how powerful she is, the business of these low-level drug addicts in Zhang City still depends on him, Brother Yang, to sell.

Electronic cigarettes are not something every smoker likes, and certainly not something every drug addict is happy to tinker with.

"Our core base won't change! There aren't many drug addicts in Zhang City, but they're enough for us to wreak havoc. But the market... ugh... I can't let myself get taken advantage of. I'll pick on the weaker ones and maybe check out the surrounding areas."

Brother Yang didn't hide anything from Zhao Zhigao at this moment, but as he was talking, he suddenly thought of something and began to ponder.

"Zhongshi and Shashi next door?"

Zhao Zhigao's mind worked quickly, and he immediately understood what Brother Yang meant. If they didn't dare provoke Li Xiang, they'd provoke someone even easier to bully! The underground drug markets in the two neighboring cities didn't have many capable people; if they could seize control of them, they could make up for their losses.

"Hehe... Ah Gao's mind works fast! That's right! The market in Zhong City has good stuff too!"

Brother Yang chuckled, opened the drawer next to him, and took out a gold-plated box containing neatly arranged white cigarettes. However, only half of the cigarettes remained in the box, and there were no markings on them. Furthermore, the cigarette holders were shorter than those of ordinary cigarettes, giving them a somewhat unusual appearance.

Taking out a cigarette and lighting it, Brother Yang casually said to Zhao Zhigao, "Here! Gao, have a taste too! This was given to me when you inspected that batch of goods last time. It's a very special product. I quite like it, but there's too little of it, so I'm reluctant to finish it."

Big Brother Yang made a very generous offer, bringing out his most prized possessions. Zhao Zhigao, on the other hand, initially wanted to refuse, as he had absolutely no desire to become a drug addict.

Seeing that although Brother Yang looked like he was enjoying himself, his eyes were still fixed on him, Zhao Zhigao knew that he had no right to refuse.

To truly obtain enough intelligence and completely dismantle Brother Yang's gang, including his accomplices like Sister Hua and his trafficking network, Zhao Zhigao needs to gain more trust and get closer to Brother Yang.

"Thank you, Brother Yang!"

Zhao Zhigao smiled, stood up respectfully to thank him, and then carefully took a cigarette from the box and put it in his mouth.

"Come here, Huo'er!"

Brother Yang lazily lit his lighter, and Zhao Zhigao could only lower his head and lean over to light his cigarette, then thanked Brother Yang repeatedly.

The tobacco burned slowly, and the slightly yellowish smoke drifted gently upwards. Zhao Zhigao tried his best to keep the smoke out of his lungs, but even so, an indescribable sense of longing and pleasure still caused the smoke to quietly enter his nostrils, and then be swallowed without him noticing.

Zhao Zhigao's eyes became dazed, even more so than Brother Yang next to him.

Lin Ge, crouching in the corner not far away, watched this scene with great reluctance. However, he was powerless to stop it, and as an undercover agent, this was an inevitable stage that Zhao Zhigao had long anticipated.

"Ah Gao, was that fun?"

I don't know when, but Brother Yang stopped smoking. He took out a pair of scissors, cut off the burnt tobacco, and put the half-smoked cigarette, which was a little damp, back into the box.

"Cool!"

Zhao Zhigao nodded emphatically, his smile growing even wider.

He squinted and puffed away, the smoke almost completely enveloping his face. His muscles relaxed, and he leaned back lazily in the chair.

"Ah Gao, how do you think I've treated you?"

Brother Yang squinted, his eyes devoid of any emotion, and continued speaking.

"it is good!"

Zhao Zhigao nodded again, his action without hesitation.

"Hehe... Ah Gao, how about you come with me? We'll have as many cigarettes as you want in the future." Big Yang's eyes showed less wariness, but he still said softly, "Ah Gao, do you still want to keep smoking this kind of good cigarette?"

"miss you!"

A longing gleamed in Zhao Zhigao's eyes; he was even reluctant to take out his cigarette to catch his breath. His chest heaved violently as he inhaled the thick smoke into his lungs with a desperate urge, and the expression on his face gradually became strange.

"Big brother, I'll do whatever you want me to do!"

With his face contorted, Zhao Zhigao's mind was filled only with that indescribable feeling of euphoria. Even as the ashes from the cigarette butt spilled onto his body and legs, he seemed completely oblivious.

"Hehehe..."

Brother Yang smiled with satisfaction.

Controlling this person with drugs is that simple. It doesn't matter what he did before, how ruthless or powerful he was, or how many people he's killed! As long as you control this addictive lifeline, this guy is nothing more than a dog.

To be honest, Brother Yang was actually a little reluctant to waste something worth hundreds of thousands of yuan just for Zhao Zhigao.

He bought these things at a high price to bribe or control certain important targets. But it turns out he himself is a drug addict and couldn't resist using half of them. The remaining half doesn't seem to last more than a few days, so he regretfully has to use it up first.

"Tick-tock..."

A drop of saliva dripped from Zhao Zhigao's lips, but he was completely unaware. His eyes were unfocused, and he didn't even notice that his cigarette was about to burn out.

"Agao!"

Brother Yang spoke again in a low voice, even leaning close to Zhao Zhigao's ear, and asked, "What did you do before? Is Zhao Gao your real name?"

"I...I am a chicken...a chicken..."

As soon as Zhao Zhigao opened his mouth, a struggle flashed in his eyes. He seemed to have sobered up a bit, but he was still affected by the cigarette. His lips trembled as he tried to speak, but for some reason, he couldn't utter the words.

"chicken?"

Brother Yang was stunned for a moment.

Didn't this guy say he used to work on construction sites? And that he broke into the foreman's house at night and smashed his leg because the foreman owed him wages, which is why he fled to Zhangzhou? What's a chicken? A machine?

"gold……"

Zhao Zhigao gritted his teeth, trying desperately to make himself clear. But the word seemed to be tied in a knot on his tongue, stammering and unable to flow through his mouth.

Finally, Zhao Zhigao's face turned red, looking as if he might suffocate at any moment. Lin Ge silently approached Zhao Zhigao from behind, standing expressionlessly beside their four legs. Brother Yang's trousers looked expensive, while Zhao Zhigao's jeans were faded from washing. The strange smell in the air even made Lin Ge feel a little dizzy. But at this moment, he was more nervous than anyone else, yet calmer than anyone else. Seeing Brother Yang staring intently at Zhao Zhigao's face, Lin Ge reached out and plunged his claws deep into Zhao Zhigao's ankle.

"shock!"

The sudden pain made Zhao Zhigao's eyes widen. His knotted tongue suddenly straightened, and his mouth opened wide, his ferocious appearance startling Brother Yang.

"Fuck!"

The cigarette butt fell from his lips, landing directly in Zhao Zhigao's collar and rolling down his chest. Zhao Zhigao screamed in pain, jumped up, and frantically scratched, finally managing to pull the still-burning cigarette butt out from under his shirt.

Seeing this idiot frantically rubbing his chest as if he were burning up, Brother Yang was completely speechless.

Worried that the guy might hit him in his madness, Brother Yang retreated to his position, secretly regretting that the cigarette was too strong for a drug newbie. He should have just gotten a regular one instead, so as not to waste this precious cigarette.

By this point, Brother Yang no longer suspected Zhao Zhigao much, but secretly regretted that the good things he could have enjoyed had been wasted on a dog.

"Hiss... Hah..."

Zhao Zhigao gasped in pain, completely bewildered as to why a mere burn could hurt so much. It was just a cigarette butt, yet it felt worse than falling into molten iron. His legs were even trembling, the pain surging upwards, yet he couldn't comprehend what was happening. He was now much more lucid, secretly terrified that he had almost exposed his identity. As for what Lin Ge had done, he had no idea whatsoever.

The pain in his chest had finally subsided, but the throbbing sensation in his thigh nerves persisted. Zhao Zhigao couldn't care less about that; he just gasped for breath and gave Brother Yang an awkward smile.

"Brother Yang, I'm sorry to embarrass myself. I... I mean, I used to work in metal processing. On construction sites, I would straighten the steel bars that were brought to the site, cut them into right angles, and tie them to the steel frame with wire to support the building frame so that it would be easier to pour cement. You know what I mean?"

As Zhao Zhigao spoke, he gestured, making it clear that his identity had been specially forged and trained.

However, given that he is not well-educated, he certainly cannot use technical terms at this time. Instead, he can use gestures to gain the other party's trust more easily.

Moreover, Zhao Zhigao had indeed done this kind of work before; his father was a construction worker. From his youth to retirement, he worked on everything from brick and tile precast slabs to frame pouring. When it comes to the details, Zhao Zhigao doesn't hold back at all.

Brother Yang nodded, his questioning intent long gone. Who cared who this guy was? He'd enjoyed what was his; did he think he could escape now?
"hiss……"

Zhao Zhigao let out a long breath, not caring that he was in front of Brother Yang.

Seeing Brother Yang looking at him calmly, he grinned and said, "Brother Yang, this stuff is really powerful! I have to admit, it's really awesome! I see you have a few more here. When I do something really great, you can reward me with some more?"

"Hehe! As long as you stick with me, you'll have as much as you want."

Big Brother Yang confidently assured him that he would finish the entire pack of cigarettes in the next two days. "It's just a dog," he thought, "why waste such good stuff? When the guy gets cravings, I can easily get rid of it by giving him some face."

"call……"

Back in his dormitory, Zhao Zhigao plopped down and leaned against the door, remaining motionless.

My mind was still uncontrollably reliving the feeling from just now, desperately calling for it to happen again, and even trying to control my hands, feet, and soul.

Fortunately, the inexplicable pain in his right leg persisted, allowing Zhao Zhigao to maintain a degree of composure. Coupled with his sense of honor and responsibility, and the fear of nearly facing death, Zhao Zhigao remained shaken and managed to control himself.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Gritting his teeth and cursing a couple of times, Zhao Zhigao rolled up his right trouser leg to see what had happened. How could doing drugs have ruined his leg?
Then, three bloody holes came into Zhao Zhigao's view from the depression behind his ankle.

Three more claw marks extended downwards from the blood hole, also deeply bleeding.

If you only look at the blood hole, you might not understand, but when you see the claw marks that are spaced quite far apart, how could Zhao Zhigao not understand what had happened?

Damn it, I got scratched by a cat!

"Ha ha……"

Zhao Zhigao couldn't help but laugh, having to admit that the cat was indeed capable. If it hadn't been for it earlier, he might have already been exposed. Just like in the movies, even an undercover agent needs help, otherwise, he'll eventually be exposed.

Who could have imagined this?

Even Zhao Zhigao himself didn't expect that the thing that could help him was a cat.

A cat that could help him in front of Brother Yang, a cat that could help him at the most critical moment, a cat that pulled him back from the brink of death.

"That's awesome! If something like this happens again, I'll have to entrust my life to a cat."

Zhao Zhigao pulled down his trousers and then stood up unsteadily.

Then he saw Lingo jump onto the second-floor window from the outside. The cat deftly opened the window and stared at him through the iron bars with its cold eyes.

A gust of cold wind blew in, instantly clearing Zhao Zhigao's mind.

"Hey! You're back from jungling?"

Zhao Zhigao waved his hand with a smile, showing no embarrassment whatsoever. Having regained his senses, he had remembered the hidden camera in the room. His earlier mutterings should be mostly harmless, but the cat seemed dissatisfied.

"You bastard, if you're going to die, don't make me go down with you, you bastard!"

Lin Ge glared at Zhao Zhigao, shocked that this guy had so casually accepted Brother Yang's cigarette. This was something no one wanted to see. Plus, with Brother Yang watching him so intently, Zhao Zhigao really had no right to refuse.

Even though morale is low right now, Brother Yang isn't exactly deserted by everyone. Putting everything else aside, killing Zhao Zhigao would be a piece of cake for him. Plus, he has Sister Hua, who hasn't shown her face yet, behind him, so his strength hasn't been significantly weakened.

In short, it can't be blamed on Zhao Zhigao, and seeing the guy like this, Lin Ge actually felt quite sorry for him.

Being an undercover agent is really not easy!
The enemy's various tests, suspicions, and sweet-talking tactics meant he was risking his life. Drugs can ruin countless lives; could Zhao Zhigao really hold out until the day his gang was arrested?

Lin Ge could only do his best to help this idiot.

"Agao, Agao!"

There was a knock at the door. Zhao Zhigao, who was about to lie down to rest, sighed helplessly and had no choice but to get out of bed and open the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a guy with a full head of green hair, nicknamed 'Monkey'.

"Ah Gao, Brother Yang is here!"

The green monkey waved excitedly at Zhao Zhigao, even grabbing Zhao Zhigao's hand and trying to pull him outside: "Hurry up, don't waste this good opportunity. Brother Yang loves to throw money around, this time he's planning to have a catfight, let's play a couple of rounds and earn some cash."

"Cat fighting?"

"Cat Fighting!"

Zhao Zhigao stared in astonishment as the green monkey drooled, while Lin Ge, standing nearby, perked up his ears warily. He had never forgotten that guy named Zhao Liang, that bastard who had killed countless cats and tried to turn him into a cat-fighting gambler as well.

Zhao Liang got arrested, but here comes Brother Yang playing this game again?
"Little Yang used to have a brother who was really into cat fighting. Little Yang sent him to another place to develop the market, and then he just disappeared without a trace. Oh well, this has nothing to do with us! Anyway, all you need to know is that if we bet on Big Yang's leopard cat, we can win money. Hehe... Little Yang doesn't care about that little bit of money at all; he's just trying to curry favor with Big Yang. If we all bet on Big Yang's leopard cat, Big Yang will be happy."

The green monkey rambled on as it walked, explaining as it went. Zhao Zhigao glanced back at Lin Ge; both man and cat knew exactly what was going on. It wasn't some out-of-town market; they'd just been operating too aggressively in Zhangzhou and got shut down by the police.

It's just puzzling why Zhao Liang's arrest didn't deter the Yang brothers; they showed no sign of backing down and continued their drug dealing activities in Zhangzhou.

They really aren't afraid of death!
