Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 377 The Cat That Came to the Door (Please Subscribe!)

Does Xi Wanjing's work as a live streamer, and even her 'submission to serve' Wang Jun, the top male fan, constitute prostitution?

From a factual standpoint, there seems to be a slight difference.

But without a doubt, this behavior is still an unethical act that skirts the edge of legality!
Compared to the other female anchors in that building, Xi Wanjing's behavior was even more outrageous and egregious.

And poor Wang Jun...

This kid spent so much money from start to finish, but I never expected him to choose something like this.

In reality, he was just a customer of prostitutes.
What the hell...

This left the cat speechless.

Lin Ge really wanted to show the police communication device to Wang Jun, or to Wang Dali.

But as a police cat, he knew that such things were not allowed.

Regardless of what Xi Wanjing did in the past, she is now just an ordinary person who is not currently committing any illegal acts. The police can see her personal information, but they must keep it confidential from everyone.

The sanctity of personal information is a very serious matter for the police. Even though Zhang Ke, Lin Ge, and even Nie Guoqiang all felt sorry for Wang Jun's misfortune, they would not, and would not allow, to disclose this matter.

Therefore, despite Xi Wanjing's messy past, both Nie Guoqiang and Lin Ge must keep her past hidden in their hearts or even forget it, and absolutely must not remind Wang Jun just because they see him having bad luck.

This is a very serious red line.

Today, someone might privately reveal another's information out of sympathy; tomorrow, they might reveal even more important information out of personal favor; the day after, they might participate in illegal, criminal, corrupt, or bribery activities; and the day after that…

Everyone was well aware of this, so when Zhao Zhigang, out of curiosity, wanted to come over, Zhang Ke turned off his phone without hesitation.

"whispering sound!"

Zhao Zhigang curled his lip in disdain, but he wasn't particularly dissatisfied with Zhang Ke's attitude.

He was quite an oddball at Zhanghe Police Station. Even though he had been promoted to a full-fledged officer, he still got along very well with several auxiliary police officers and acted like a mouse around a cat when he saw other full-fledged officers.

In other words, this guy hadn't really grasped the sense of responsibility of a regular police officer and was still used to following orders like an auxiliary police officer. Zhang Ke was better at making decisions than him, so he obediently listened to Zhang Ke.

"Whether or not I open a flower shop is not important, after all, that's all in the future. But as long as it develops well, I think opening a flower shop is fine too. As long as I can make money to support my future life, that's enough. I don't ask for much."

Xi Wanjing's response was rather perfunctory, lacking any promises or affirmations.

But as she finished speaking, she only glanced at Wang Jun, and her words made him incredibly excited. He even wished he could immediately create a PowerPoint presentation or a prospect report so that Xi Wanjing could see the bright future they would have together.

Nie Guoqiang had a helpless expression on his face.

One party is willing to give, and the other is willing to receive; what can he do?

He looked only at Wang Dali, attempting a last-ditch effort: "Wang Dali, do you want to try to get Wang Jun's money back? I asked some of the more professional people at the station when I came here. Since Wang Jun is already an adult, the money he's already spent on tips is definitely gone. But for those tips that haven't been spent yet, those that have only been exchanged for Watermelon Coins, we can help you get them back. Hmm... there should still be quite a bit left, at least we can recover some of the losses. What do you think..."

"This one……"

Wang Dali glanced at his son hesitantly, only to see Wang Jun glaring at him angrily.

Then, remembering what his son had just said—that this was part of his business plan and not just reckless spending—Wang Dali began to hesitate.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Dali shook his head violently: "Forget it! This money was originally saved for him, it's his freedom to spend it however he wants! Whether he goes into business or squanders it, he'll settle down once he's done spending it! Today's incident is all my fault! I shouldn't have bothered the police officers, and I shouldn't have let things turn out like this. Anyway, let's just let it go, I'm sorry to have troubled you all today. Um... can I take Wang Jun away now? Accusing him of theft was just a joke, blame me if you want."

Wang Dali was still thinking about how he had brought Wang Jun back to the police station on charges of theft, and fearing that his son would have a criminal record because of it, he quickly took all the blame upon himself.

"It's hard to persuade that damned ghost with kind words!"

Lin Ge sighed.

Wang Dali spoils Wang Jun way too much!

When facing his son, this middle-aged man completely lacked his own opinions. He knew perfectly well that what his son said and did was unreliable, but since his son liked it, he supported him unconditionally.

No wonder Wang Jun was so infatuated with such a woman; his personality is inextricably linked to Wang Dali's doting on him over the years. Indulging his son without helping him correct his mistakes will inevitably lead to bitter consequences sooner or later.

But at this point, Nie Guoqiang had no other choice.

He could only let the three of them leave after they signed the mediation record.

Seeing Wang Jun and Wang Dali going their separate ways, with Wang Jun hurriedly explaining behind Xi Wanjing, the group of police officers standing at the door all sighed.

Wang Dali's hunched and unsteady figure made everyone feel uneasy.

Anyone with a modicum of rationality can clearly see that this matter is unlikely to have a good outcome. But both Wang Dali and Wang Jun are stubbornly unrepentant, and what can the police, as outsiders, do?

Moreover, this incident also reveals that the father and son have remarkably similar personalities in some ways.

"I'm going to beat Xie Zaiqi up when I get back!"

Xie Hua suddenly spoke up, saying fiercely, "He has to understand that causing me trouble is an act of treason! If Xie Zaiqi turns into someone like Wang Jun, I'll probably just smash my head against a wall and end it all! Damn it, this is outrageous."

Why hit a child for no reason!

Nie Guoqiang turned around and glared at Xie Hua, but he had made up his mind that he would go back and talk to Nie Zhuangzhuang about this matter when he had time.

Wang Jun's case serves as a negative example and a cautionary tale! Parents should take this as a warning.

It's not that he found a woman who used to be a prostitute as his girlfriend, but rather that he was simple-minded and easily deceived in both his actions and thoughts.

He is self-centered, unwilling to listen to advice, stubborn, and inflexible. Such a personality either leads to great achievements or great losses. And the vast majority of people are unlikely to be among that one in a million lucky ones.

Thinking deeper into this matter, there must be something else that Wang Jun didn't finish explaining.

For example... was it his own idea to make Xi Wanjing famous and open a popular flower shop later? Or was he misled by Xi Wanjing or someone else?
And what is the identity of the real owner of this studio, who has yet to appear? Did he know beforehand that he would recruit a woman like Xi Wanjing, who has a criminal record, to be a female anchor? Or was he completely unaware of this?
It's a pity we didn't uncover the criminal activities of this studio, otherwise we could have really dug deeper to see the truth.

Nie Guoqiang sighed regretfully.

"Hehe... Everyone knows you're the best at hitting kids! It's just that Fatty Nie has a lot of fat on his butt, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to withstand your mixed doubles beatings sooner or later."

Xie Hua inwardly cursed Nie Guoqiang, then heard Nie Guoqiang continue, "Old Xie, you'll have to work hard for a while and keep an eye on Wang Jun's matter. This won't end so easily. That kid has spent over ten thousand a day, and what's left won't last him more than a few days. Even if he has the skill of boosting accounts, it's just a drop in the ocean in this regard. I estimate that in the next few days, Xi Wanjing's true attitude will become clear."

“I know! Three hundred thousand! If it really goes down the drain, Wang Dali might even be tempted to jump off a building. And Wang Jun, when he suddenly realizes he’s done something stupid, who knows what kind of trouble he’ll cause.”

Xie Hua nodded.

Seeing that the business was over, Zhao Zhigang quickly came over and said, "Boss, the New Year is over, let's get the time off sorted out. Since Instructor Zheng is on night shift today, let's quickly decide on the shift order. Otherwise, when he comes, he'll probably have something to say."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ke, Xie Hua, and even Chu Ting and Li Yiduo, who had come over to listen to the commotion, all looked at Nie Guoqiang expectantly.

A day off is such a rare treat!
Everyone has been busy since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, and they're all exhausted. Now that the holiday is finally over, those who need to go to work are back to work, and those who need to go to school are back to school. The police station can finally breathe a sigh of relief, right?

If you go on like this for one or two months without a single day of rest, even an iron man would die from overwork.

Those who are married are fine, but the unmarried young people are still waiting for time to date! Just as Zhang Ke's parents worried, if they are busy like this all year round, their feelings will eventually become nonsense.

Despite being pressured by so many eyes, Nie Guoqiang remained calm, shaking his head helplessly. "Hehe... Once the newly recruited auxiliary police officers from the Municipal Bureau, and the two additional permanent positions added after our building is completed, things will be a bit easier for everyone. But since you've mentioned it, let's make a schedule. Let's agree on this first: each person can only take one day off at most, and it can't be Saturday or Sunday. Also, the station must maintain at least two permanent staff members on standby every day, and everyone's phones must remain on. If any trouble arises requiring support, even if you're at the ends of the earth, you need to get back as soon as possible. Oh, Xie Hua, you're an exception; your rest will be discussed next week."

"I know!"

Xie Hua knew the gravity of the matter and naturally wouldn't object.

Nie Guoqiang glanced at the enthusiastic Zhao Zhigang and then said, "Zhao Zhigang, you too! You've been working the day shift with Xie Hua these past few days! You should learn from him! You're already a police officer, how can you still be so irresponsible?"

"whispering sound!"

Zhao Zhigang curled his lip in displeasure. He knew that being the first to stick his neck out would inevitably lead to retaliation from Nie Wugui.

With Wang Jun's matter concluded, everyone dispersed, busy with their own never-ending tasks.

Lin Ge, looking speechless and exasperated, slowly returned to the backyard. But as soon as he reached the gate, he was astonished to see several cats facing off. The female tortoiseshell and the money tree glared angrily at their opponent, while the opponent leisurely squatted down, grooming itself and occasionally emitting elegant meows.

On the other side of the yard, a large group of kittens were playing. A tabby kitten, a snowclaw tabby kitten, and a tortoiseshell kitten were playing enthusiastically with the five little bundles of joy, completely oblivious to the adults' conflicts and disputes.

Not far from the eight kittens, the large white cat squinted, surveying its surroundings. Its gaze was like that of a father-in-law inspecting his son-in-law's financial situation, looking around with obvious satisfaction at the quality and scale of Lin Ge's residence.

Although the messy pile of building materials in the yard and the noise of the workers slowly resuming construction both displeased the big white cat, it was still such a large yard! It must be very valuable, right?

The people around seemed quite friendly towards the cats, and they didn't appear to pose any threat. Even when seven cats huddled together and ran over, no one chased them away or showed any disgust.

And the human girl standing next to me, the cat food she brought was also delicious.

"Hooo!"

The big white cat licked its lips, slowly savoring the taste of the cat food.

He even considered staying here permanently, as this place was a hundred times better than his base.

"Damn it, how did they get here?"

Lin Ge, who was hiding at the gate of the courtyard, suddenly felt a sense of tension, as if he had been caught in the act of adultery.

He didn't know how the white cat, Big White, and the kittens found their way here, or how they managed to get here safely. But what was with this feeling of a stranger with children coming to find their father, then encountering the female owner and getting into an argument?

Even though none of the eight little brats in the yard were his children, he still felt a sense of guilt.

"Damn! Why am I so nervous! You're limping, why don't you help ease the tension?"

Lin Ge looked around but couldn't see the lame man. Finding no one to vent his anger on, he could only scratch his own ear in frustration at his own incompetence. After thinking for a moment, he decided to retreat temporarily and go to Nie Guoqiang's place to lay low for a while.

"Ah! Mimi, you're back! Finished work? Look, your friends have come to play with you!"

Li Siyu saw Lin Ge first, so she greeted him with a smile.

"Meow!"

"Meow?"

The mother hawksbill turtle and the white cat, who were in a standoff, hadn't paid attention to their surroundings. But when they heard Li Siyu's words, they immediately turned to look at the bastard hiding at the gate of the courtyard.

"Heh... Oh no, we've been found out."

The old man watching the commotion in the guardhouse laughed gleefully.

"I'll pluck all your beard while you're napping tomorrow!"

Lin Ge glared fiercely at the old scoundrel, then walked into the courtyard with a helpless expression.

"Mimi, it's rare for friends to come and play with you, why are you hiding and not coming to entertain the guests? Luckily, there are still a few untouched cans of cat food in the cattery, otherwise we wouldn't even have enough to serve the guests."

Li Siyu smiled and waved to Lin Ge.

"Thank you so much."

Lin Ge sighed and approached the mother hawksbill turtle and the white cat: "So, what brings you here today? If you're here to play, I'm all for it, but if you're here to cause me trouble, could you please let me have a couple more days of peace?"

"Meow~"

Seeing Lingo's attitude, the white cat drooped its ears and tail in grievance.

"Meow!"

Surprisingly, seeing the white cat looking aggrieved, the mother tortoiseshell looked up and roared at Lin Ge, seemingly blaming Lin Ge for his bad attitude towards the white cat.

"Holy crap, what does this have to do with me?!"

Lin Ge was stunned. What was wrong with these female cats? Weren't you two just about to fight? Why are you suddenly united against me?
"Gululu~"

The money tree was secretly delighted, seemingly happier the more disheveled Ling Ge was.

"Meow~"

The white cat mustered its courage again and approached Ringo, lowering its head to nudge him. Seeing that Ringo didn't resist or pull away, it nudged him twice more, finally letting out a satisfied purr.

"..."

Lin Ge awkwardly looked up at the female tortoiseshell cat, only to see that the bastard was licking her paws, seemingly unaware that her husband had been stolen away by another cat.

"Speaking of which... are cats polygamous or monogamous? Or is there no system at all, and they're more free-spirited?"

Lin Ge started to let his mind wander, mainly because he didn't know what to do. There was also a big, rascally white cat staring intently at him from behind, seemingly with an urge to pounce on him if he dared to refuse his daughter.

After being nudged twice by the white cat, Lin Ge became a little impatient.

This guy even squatted down and stuck his butt out, which made Lin Ge feel even more helpless.

If he were interested, the female hawksbill turtle would have been pregnant with a second or even a third litter long ago, wouldn't she?

So Lingo simply ignored the white cat and went to the cat house to drink water.

When they came out again, the white cat was already entangled with the mother tortoiseshell and the money tree. The three mother cats lay side by side, with the mother tortoiseshell in the middle, and the money tree and the white cat on either side, quietly watching the eight kittens frolicking and playing in the yard.

Li Siyu truly lives up to her reputation as a cat lover; she can handle so many kittens.

She took out the water bowls and food bowls from the cat house and placed them under a tree in the yard. She also put a few cat toys aside and took pictures of the cats while watching them play.

Meanwhile, the construction workers nearby watched this scene with curiosity, pointing and laughing, making even their hard work seem easier.

"Roar!"

The big white cat appeared out of nowhere, slowly walked up to Lin Ge, squatted down in front of him, and stared at him.

"Why are you looking at me? If you want to find a son-in-law, go look outside!"

Lin Ge awkwardly turned his head away. He didn't even know how to deal with the female tortoiseshell cat, so how could he possibly provoke other female cats?

As for saving the white cat back then, it was because I couldn't bear to! So if you're here to repay a debt of gratitude, I'll definitely support you and thank you. But if you're here to back up my daughter and cause me trouble, then don't blame me for being impolite.

"Hooo~"

Surprisingly, the big white cat wagged its tail at Lingo and its attitude improved considerably. It went into the cat house on its own, found the limping food bowl, ate a couple of bites, then drank a couple of sips of water, but didn't touch Lingo's things.

Nature has its own rules, and as the leader of this force, the white cat certainly wouldn't provoke Ling Ge rashly.

Moreover, that brat was incredibly strong; it still vividly remembered the slap from that day. Knowing that it was showing signs of aging and was no match for this robust young cat, and considering that its territory did indeed need a powerful cat to protect it, it acquiesced to the white cat's entanglement with Lingo.

Having survived to old age as a wild cat, the big white cat naturally has its own way of dealing with things and its own cleverness.

While Lin Ge was still staring blankly at the large group of cats in the yard, wondering how he would deal with them if they stayed there for a long time, the big white cat suddenly approached from behind, lay down next to Lin Ge, rolled over, and exposed its belly expressionlessly.

"Roar?"

Seeing that Lin Ge was staring blankly at him without making a move, the big white cat glared at him with displeasure.

"Damn it, I wasn't planning on taming you cats! A bunch of stray cats won't give me any benefits, taming you would just be asking for trouble, right? Speaking of which, am I getting to know more and more cats? Will my salary be enough by then?"

For once, Lin Ge actually started worrying about not having enough money. He had never considered how much it would cost to have a few cats before, but now his team was inexplicably growing larger and larger.

"Forget it, we'll think about it later! If it's not enough, we'll just take it from Nie Guoqiang!"

Lingo sighed, stretched out his paw and gently touched the big white cat's belly, thus completing the handover ceremony.
