Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 311 The Hairy Monster

Without saying a word, Lin Ge turned around and left, heading straight to Zhao Zhigao's dormitory on the second floor.

Seeing that their leader had moved, even the yellow cat and the black and white cat struggled to their feet and stumbled after him.

A group of cats stumbled and staggered up the stairs. Even Brother Yang's cash cow was mixed in with the group of cats. It was completely unlike its usual behavior of ignoring other cats or even getting angry and attacking them at the slightest disagreement.

This scene left Brother Yang completely stunned.

This also shows that this seemingly ordinary cat does indeed have the demeanor of Elvis Presley.

Its potential is greater than he imagined; who knows, he might actually reap even greater profits from it during the Chinese New Year. Brother Yang began to anticipate how much stock he could acquire, how much money he could make, and how many special premium items he could obtain…

"Huh? Where's the cat?"

Jian Ge, who led Huang Qi in, was astonished to find that only the big boss was in the courtyard, and all the cats had disappeared.

However, he soon saw several cats lining up to enter the second floor of the prefabricated house. Although he didn't understand what the cats were doing there, he still respectfully came to Brother Yang's side.

"Brother Yang, the doctor has arrived."

"Are you sure there's no problem? Ah Jian, don't do anything reckless at a time like this."

Brother Yang was still being cautious, and he knew how important Lin Ge was. He didn't want anything to happen during the New Year period, so even though he had been with his old brother from the beginning, he still asked him an extra question.

"Just a veterinarian!"

Jian was a little annoyed, feeling that he had been looked down upon by Da Yang. Coupled with the fact that his money had mysteriously disappeared today, he wasn't in a good mood, and his tone was slightly sharp.

"..."

Brother Yang frowned.

He suddenly felt that Ah Jian was being a bit immature. Coupled with Li Xiang's aggressive attitude and thinking about Ah Jian's money-loving nature, Da Yang became even more dissatisfied, and his gaze towards Ah Jian carried a hint of disdain.

But after all, they were brothers from the same pot. When Brother Yang thought back to how hard Brother Jian had worked for him before, his heart softened.

Not wanting to say anything more to this scoundrel, Brother Yang looked at the young veterinarian behind Brother Jian.

The man was wearing an ordinary gray-blue down jacket, and his face was red from the winter wind. If it weren't for the veterinary kit he was carrying, Brother Yang would have almost thought he was just some poor loser that Ah Jian had randomly picked up from somewhere.

Surprisingly, this guy had very white teeth, completely different from Brother Yang and all the other old smokers in the compound. He had a rather sunny smile, and seemed to belong to a different world than us.

Of course, he didn't smell like a cop.

Brother Yang decided to trust A-Jian one more time, not even realizing that his hesitation and wavering were actually signs of indecisiveness. He stood up, still posing as the repair shop owner, and smiled at Huang Qi, saying, "Doctor, I'm sorry to trouble you. A few cats came to my yard earlier and were fighting quite fiercely. But just before you arrived, they inexplicably started playing together again and are now in my employees' dormitory. Hehe… they're living animals after all, and I can't bear to see them die. So please take a look and check them out. Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged on medical expenses or transportation costs."

"Okay, leave it all to me."

Huang Qi smiled and gave his assurance, unable to resist praising, "These cats are lucky to have such a kind-hearted boss like you. To be honest, cats are a bit crazy animals; I've seen too many fights where they don't know their own strength. Oh, and let me make this clear beforehand: if the situation is serious and surgery is needed, the treatment costs won't be cheap. Even if you're a big boss, I still suggest you don't worry about the costs; it's not worth spending your hard-earned money on stray cats."

"That won't do. Since we've seen it, we definitely have to do something about it. Haha..."

Brother Yang smiled with relief.

Huang Qi praised him a couple more times, and seeing that the person in front of him had completely let down his guard, he breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a simple and honest smile.

The stench of blood permeated the yard, along with the scattered cat hair and bloodstains on the ground, and the strange smell of a female cat in heat mixed with several chemicals. Huang Qi smiled, but her eyes were icy cold.

Following behind the thug-like man in front of him, Huang Qi carried a medical kit and headed to the second floor of the prefabricated house.

He could already hear a lot of chaotic meows, noisy but still relatively calm, which made Huang Qi breathe a slight sigh of relief. He didn't want to see the cat's gruesome death as his first sight, but fortunately, it didn't seem to have reached the point he was worried about.

"Meow?"

A chubby black cat peeked out from inside the house and was startled to find two humans standing very close to it. It was so frightened that it frantically flailed its limbs and turned to run back into the house.

"Meow!"

Startled by the black cat, the commotion of the various cats in the room grew even louder. In addition, there were sounds of them scattering and running away, but surprisingly, not a single cat ran out of the door. For some unknown reason, they all remained gathered in the small prefab house.

A look of surprise flashed across Huang Qi's eyes.

Brother Jian looked impatient.

The main point is that he completely doesn't understand why the Yang brothers, Da Yang and Xiao Yang, are so obsessed with that cat fight! Those two idiots have forgotten that the reason they chose to traffic drugs in the first place was simply to support their own addiction! Now that they've made money and have enough drugs, why aren't they satisfied? They could be enjoying themselves peacefully, so why do they insist on expanding their operations step by step, and now they're even getting involved in cat fights involving big shots?

If you're going to traffic drugs, just do it. Why make such a fuss? Why not just honestly transport and sell drugs and be a middleman? Why do you have to get involved in all this messy stuff, causing trouble for yourself all the time and not even having enough time to enjoy yourself?

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. In addition, he hadn't smoked for several hours, and Jian Ge was experiencing some withdrawal symptoms.

After the withdrawal symptoms, Jian felt unwell both physically and emotionally. He turned to look downstairs at Da Yang, who was still checking something on his phone. He pursed his lips and impatiently pointed to the door, saying, "The cats are all inside. Go in yourself. I'm warning you, don't look around or take anything, or I'll get rough!"

"Your attitude is much worse than your boss's."

Huang Qi wasn't afraid at all, and gave Jian Ge a disdainful sarcastic remark. Seeing that the big man was about to explode, she simply walked past him and entered the ridiculously noisy room.

Upon entering, I saw two cats frolicking on the bed, one of them with a long, visible thread caught on its paw. Nearby, a long-haired, skinny cat was licking its testicles, ignoring a startled yellow and white cat that jumped over it. Further away, under the sofa, I could see a pair of round, bulging cat eyes. On the sofa sat a dark, goofy creature with its head buried in a pair of jeans, its high-raised rear and tail like a bullseye, making you want to slap it. On a small table on the other side, a leopard cat silently stared at the doorway. It had a menacing scar on its body, and its proud demeanor clashed with the rest of the cats in the room.

Then, in the corner near the window, a yellow cat covered in blood stared at him warily, its ears perked up and it growled threateningly.

"Ouch... That's a pretty serious injury!"

Huang Qi saw the yellow cat's twisted tail; its strange shape was definitely not something a cat could naturally manipulate.

Adding to the fact that its two ears were covered in bloody gashes, like tattered palm-leaf fans, Huang Qi even began to wonder how this creature had survived, and whether it had even worse symptoms, such as fractures.

"Meow!"

A black and white cat, also covered in blood, crawled out from the other side of the bed and slowly walked to the yellow cat's side, staring at the human threat with shared hatred.

This cat was in a similar sorry state. Not to mention the bloodstains all over its body, its torn, exposed nose and its right front paw soaked in black blood were enough to prove that its injuries were no less severe than those of the yellow cat next to it.

Looking at the other cats, who seemed to be doing fine, Huang Qi immediately understood who the two sides fighting so fiercely were.

Weren't you two fighting like sworn enemies? How come you've united to fight against the enemy now?

Huang Qi was speechless, once again confirming that cats are indeed a kind of crazy animal.

Ah!
Thanks to these crazy people, he hadn't had a good time the past few days. His wife, Meimei, was acting like a madwoman, constantly causing him trouble. Good heavens, where was he supposed to find the white cat that had run away from home and its family?
Speaking of white cats...

Huang Qi had good eyesight and quickly noticed an abnormal shape bulging under the covers on the bed.

Even if the creature in bed remained motionless, pretending not to exist, how could it escape the eyes of a veterinarian? Huang Qi could even deduce from the loose fur scattered on the floor and sofa that a silver shaded cat was missing from the house…

"A silver shaded pufferfish!"

Huang Qi smacked her lips, looked back and saw that Jian Ge not only didn't seem to be following, but even seemed impatient and about to leave, so she ignored him and went straight into the house.

Ignoring everything else in the room, he went straight to the yellow cat and the black and white cat.

Huang Qi put down the toolbox, then pulled out a pair of yellow latex gloves from his back pocket and put them on. He grinned and stretched out his wicked claws toward the yellow cat: "Mimi, don't move! I'm here to check you out. I hope you're okay except for your tail."

"Awooo!" The yellow cat refused to be approached. When it saw two hands closing in, it let out a loud cry without hesitation and took a big bite.

The sharp teeth bit into the glove with considerable force, but failed to pierce it. Huang Qi then grabbed the yellow cat by the scruff of its neck with her other hand and lifted it up, ignoring the cat's flailing limbs, and began to slowly examine its body.

"Huang Qi is quite the expert."

The yellow cat's screams made Lin Ge unable to resist peeking out from under the covers and watching Huang Qi operate intently without blinking.

This guy didn't seem to realize that there was an acquaintance of his in the house.

Huang Qi skillfully shaved the yellow cat's fur, occasionally glancing at the other cats in the room, noticing that they were all remarkably calm. Even though the yellow cat was meowing like a pig being slaughtered and struggling as if it were being kidnapped, they remained composed, each going about their own business, none of them leaving the room.

"Sure enough, it's outrageous."

With a slight pout, Huang Qi continued working, occasionally waving her hand to shoo away the cow-patterned cat that was causing a ruckus behind her.

Lin Ge even discovered that Huang Qi was using the same eyebrow razor she had stolen from Meimei's cosmetics when she shaved the old dog. This razor wasn't supposed to be for shaving cats, but its sharpness and smoothness were excellent; even the yellow cat's violent struggles didn't prevent Huang Qi from shaving it clean. When the floor was piled high with various lengths and lengths of bloody yellow fur, a completely bald, bewildered naked cat appeared before the eyes of all the cats in the room.

Whether they were playing or scared, all the cats froze, staring intently at the blond-haired cat.

Except for some fur on its face, around its mouth and ears, and on its four paws, the rest of the cat had been shaved clean by Huang Qi. At first glance, the cat looked like a mangy dog, comical in appearance and thin in body, a far cry from its previous plump appearance.

"Meow?"

Even the black and white cat was stunned. Wasn't it trying so hard to save the yellow cat? How did it turn into this strange thing in front of it?

"Woooo..."

The yellow cat had given up struggling, lowering its head and remaining motionless as Huang Qi pulled its neck, its tail drooping limply.

This was a good attitude, making it easy for Huang Qi to quickly examine the yellow cat. Afterwards, Huang Qi breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, apart from the tail and ears, there were no major problems. A few minor wounds could be treated with some ointment and disinfection.

The same applies to the ear. It's neither appropriate nor necessary to suture the already open wound and force it back together. The only thing to do is to apply medicine to the wound to stop the bleeding and disinfect it, and let it become a protruding ear.

"Serves you right! Who told you to fight like that! Now you're disfigured, let's see if any female cats will still like you."

Huang Qi muttered something to himself.

"Meow!"

The black and white cat complained from behind, causing Huang Qi to turn around and give it a disdainful look.

"Being gay is fine, right? You shameless bastard! I didn't believe Meimei when she said that gay love is true love, so are you two trying to prove it to me?"

"What a mess!"

Lin Ge, hiding under the covers, was speechless.

Huang Qi made a joke to himself before starting to deal with the yellow cat's tail. This part was much more complicated. It took Huang Qi more than half an hour to clamp the yellow cat's tail with a wooden stick and then tie it tightly with bandages to prevent the bones from dislocating again.

During this time, Brother Yang came up to check once, found nothing unusual, and then went back.

Upon discovering that Brother Jian was not there, he grumbled impatiently. However, feeling both agitated and unwell, he went back to his office to smoke.

"whispering sound!"

Huang Qi gave a cold snort, completely bewildered.

After a while, Huang Qi released the yellow cat. The unlucky guy rolled on the ground and stumbled to his feet. He didn't even dare to look back at the devilish doctor again before slinking under the sofa.

Several cats under the sofa, looking at it with pity, made way for it, then curiously scratched at the yellow cat's smooth skin with their paws.

"now you!"

Huang Qi gave the cow-patterned cat behind him a wicked look.

"Meow!"

The black and white cat, its fur standing on end, realized what was happening and tried to escape, but it was too late. Huang Qi swiftly grabbed its ear, and it could only struggle violently and scream loudly.

Unexpectedly, the plastic gloves slipped, and the cow cat, screaming pitifully, escaped Huang Qi's control. Its four paws almost sparked as it pawed at the ground, then it rushed to the bedside and frantically burrowed under the covers, seeking help from its boss.

"Hey, there's a cat here? Never mind, don't run away, you idiot, I'm here to heal your wounds!"

Huang Qi feigned surprise, thankfully there was no one around, otherwise it would have been obvious at a glance. He rushed onto the bed, scaring away the two cats that were playing at the head of the bed, then grabbed the black and white cat's tail from behind and pulled it outwards with force.

The black and white cat clung desperately to the bedsheets, but Huang Qi slowly pulled it out. Its desperate and pitiful cries annoyed Lin Ge, but knowing there were still cameras in the room, he dared not show his face and even shrank further into the covers.

"Alright, alright! Little brother, just go in peace. He won't kill you; at most, he'll just shave all the hair off your body."

Lin Ge muttered to himself, trying to comfort himself.

At that moment, a crumpled piece of paper the size of a cat's eye was suddenly rolled into the quilt and appeared incredibly precisely in front of Lin Ge.

"?"

Lin Ge was stunned for a moment.

Judging from the sounds outside, Huang Qi was still tormenting the cow cat, making it cry out even more pitifully, while the other cats watched the spectacle with great schadenfreude.

Especially the fat black cat, which was now familiar with the scent of astragalus and no longer afraid, slowly pulled its head back from under the sofa and began to slowly lick its wet fur, which made the other cats disgusted.

"This thing..."

Lin Ge didn't know whether Huang Qi did it intentionally or unintentionally, but there was no doubt that it was something that shouldn't be in veterinary equipment.

He carefully used his paws to pry the crumpled paper over and found it was just a simple note. After unfolding it, he found only the three simple words "Little Guanyuan" written inside, with no other content.

Based on just those three words, Lin Ge could tell that Huang Qi knew he was hiding in the blanket and that he knew what Huang Qi was doing in the repair shop.

"Was it a pre-arranged police operation? Or was it a way to alert Huang Qi after discovering his contact with the suspect? Also, Xiao Guanyuan, is this a way for me to find an opportunity to go there to get orders or support? Or something else..."

It was Lin Ge's first time going undercover, so he was still a bit inexperienced and had a lot on his mind.

But for him, the mere mention of "Little View Garden" was enough. This place, known only to him, Zhang Ke, Sun Chang, Huang Qi, and Meimei, was a place he could absolutely trust and that would never be claimed by a drug trafficking gang.

And just in time, Lin Ge also needed to hurry up and tell Nie Guoqiang about the 'cat fight'.

The person behind this, whose whereabouts are unknown but who possesses a vast amount of drug resources and even maliciously uses cat fights as a reward and lure for drug dealers, may be more terrifying than a simple drug dealer.

In addition, the entanglements and hidden secrets among Brother Yang, Brother Xiao Yang, and Brother Jian, which can only be discovered after getting to know them over this period of time, can play a very important role in helping the police solve the case.

At the same time, Lin Ge also needs to understand the situation outside so that he can better deal with the Yangs and their gang and avoid losing his life here.

"Hehe... Kitty, don't meow, it'll be over soon! Tsk tsk... Don't be afraid, I'm just trying to help you! What do you think, Kitty?"

Outside the blankets, Huang Qi grinned menacingly at the cow-patterned cat.

Thank you to reader Mengyu Lishang for the 100-coin reward. I'd also like to ask for your monthly votes, as the end of the month is almost here.
