Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 45 The True Pet Owner
All trending news comes and goes quickly.

Just as Hu Zhengping was helplessly cremating his beloved pet and cursing about killing Zhu Wentao, the online news about the cat killing someone had gradually subsided. People were too busy cursing the traitor and regretting not receiving the 500,000 yuan reward; while curious about the traitor being arrested by the police's cat, they said nothing more. Because whether they liked cats or not, anyone with a modicum of sense would no longer say anything about the cat's inaction in the face of national interests.

A reporter came to interview Lin Ge, trying to continue the conversation, but Yu Zhengwei dismissed him with a few words. This man was surprisingly professional in foreign affairs; no wonder he earned the trust of elites like Nie Guoqiang.

A police station chief who helps clean up messes without distinguishing right from wrong, and who doesn't interfere, is definitely the kind of leader every police officer would admire.

On the other hand, just like last time, Zhu Wentao's case was also transferred to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

To reiterate, a police station is, after all, a police station; its primary duty is to maintain social order and public safety. While solving minor cases is manageable, they lack the manpower and resources to handle major or serious cases.

The municipal bureau was both pleased and helpless, and took away all the case files while cursing.

Everyone's gotten used to this kind of thing.

A few days later, it was said that the Public Security Bureau had extracted a lot of information from Zhu Wentao and even destroyed several similar video companies in other provinces.

The police station was thrilled with this achievement.

The case is clearly getting more and more complicated, and when it's finally solved, their credit will be even greater. The case was only discovered and resolved in time because of them; everyone has contributed. Thinking about it this way, there's nothing to be conflicted about.

Lin Ge's life was not affected by his official employment. He continued to do his job as usual, and slacked off whenever he felt like it. He was not treated like a servant by Nie Guoqiang, although of course, Lin Ge would not listen to Nie Guoqiang's calls.

When I went for a walk in that neighborhood yesterday, I noticed that there were far fewer stray cats.

The news of cats injuring people did affect them, leading to them being chased away by the community security guards. However, some elderly people were still kind-hearted; they unreasonablely stopped the security guards after they discovered the situation, completely disregarding how the guards would explain themselves to their superiors.

But by this time, the more timid cats had already disappeared. Only a few bolder ones, seemingly 'free-range' by the old man, were still brazenly wreaking havoc on the car's paint.

Lin Ge paid attention to this for half an hour, then stopped caring.

Every cat has its own way of living, and he doesn't need to worry about it. He's barely managing to deal with his own three kittens, so how could he possibly have the energy to care about anything else?

"Get back!"

Lin Ge glared at the little tabby, but the little tabby remained unmoved and followed behind Lin Ge, constantly pawing at Lin Ge's tail.

Not far behind the little tabby, the snowclaw tabby and the little hawksbill turtle were a bit more timid and obedient. After being scolded by Lin Ge, they quickly ran to their little den and lay down, watching the commotion with eager eyes.

"I'm going to work, what are you doing following me? Get lost, get out of here, don't play with my tail!"

Lin Ge now only hopes that the tortoiseshell cat can come back soon, and preferably take those three rascals away. As the little guy grows up, his personality is becoming more and more mischievous, and his courage is growing, which has been giving Lin Ge a headache lately.

"Meow?"

The little tabby tilted its head and glanced at Lin Ge. Seeing that Lin Ge was really angry, it quickly rolled on the ground, then exposed its belly and curled up its legs.

"Touch my ass!"

Lin Ge quickly seized the opportunity to rush into the front hall of the police station.

"Woo..."

Then came the little tiger's aggrieved voice from behind.

However, the three of them had already learned their lesson several times and knew that the front hall of this police station was the only place they absolutely could not go; if they did, they would get beaten up, so they didn't dare to go any further.

"What exactly do you want from me?"

Lin Ge walked into the police station's front desk with a puzzled look on his face, having no idea what Zhang Ke was up to so mysteriously.

"Hey! Officer Meow, you're here." Zhang Ke waved to Lin Ge playfully.

The entire police station already knew about Yu Zhengwei's joke about Li Yiduo that day. Now, Lin Ge has officially become the police cat of Zhanghe Police Station, and his status is more than one or two levels higher than that of the auxiliary police officers.

Lin Ge didn't take this seriously. Even without a formal position, he still bullied these guys and still kicked Nie Guoqiang out of his office.
It's just a mere animal police rank, do you think he cares about it?

"Look at how arrogant you are!"

Zhang Ke pursed his lips, squatted down, and was about to grab Lin Ge's head. Lin Ge didn't hesitate to show his claws, scaring Zhang Ke into retreating.

Can you not be afraid?

Everyone knows how dangerous this cat is; Zhu Wentao and Qin Long are prime examples. Qin Long was scratched in the eye by the cat, and his right eye is now practically disabled. As for Zhu Wentao, he was only taken away by the police after being discharged from the ICU.

A cat that took down two grown men—that's a record that's enough to make anyone shudder.

Fortunately, the cat was relatively obedient, and Nie Guoqiang vouched for it. Otherwise, if something like this happened elsewhere, even a police dog would inevitably be disposed of.

"I'm not kidding! The boss just called me and asked me to take you to the city bureau. You got a permanent position, and you even got a cat owner as a bonus. Heh... If I had known, I would have changed my major in college, and I wouldn't still be an auxiliary police officer."

Zhang Ke sighed, then quickly changed his mood and said with a smile, "Mimi, let's go pick a poop scooper. Having a full-fledged police officer as your poop scooper is something you can brag about for a lifetime! But this time, getting a permanent position from the city bureau is all thanks to your two great contributions. You must keep up the good work, and one of these times you'll help me make a big score and get me a permanent position too. I don't ask for much, just to catch another drug dealer or a traitor, what do you say?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think big cases fall from the sky?"

Lin Ge glared at Zhang Ke.

However, Lin Ge was still quite interested in having another cat owner. Although he no longer needed to forage for food, and the police station canteen even prepared special cat food for him, having more subordinates would still feel good.

Zhang Ke drove Lin Ge, who was wearing a uniform vest, to the city's Public Security Bureau building.

Upon entering the internal parking lot, Lin Ge found the entire building quite secluded, with no one moving around, giving the impression that the building was deserted. However, Lin Ge also knew that if a case were to occur, this place would become a whirlwind of activity. The entire city of Zhangzhou, with its more than one million inhabitants, relied on these busy police officers to maintain order and peace. The reason there were no idle people in the building was because everyone was busy.

Zhang Ke didn't go into the building, but instead led Lin Ge to the police dog base behind it.

It was a small place, and the buildings were old and simple. Lin Ge smelled the different scents of about six or seven dogs, as well as a small number of people. Few people probably came here; with so many dogs, the smells were quite strong.

"Wang!"

"Wang Wang!"

Upon spotting Lingo, the police dogs in their cages began barking. One of them barked particularly loudly, and Lingo turned his head to see it was none other than Beibei.
The guy was barking and wagging his tail, showing great excitement.

Lin Ge ignored it and instead focused his attention on the three people—one man and two women—who were greeting Zhang Ke.

The lead policewoman was in her forties and reeked of dogs. There was no doubt that she was the caretaker of this facility, or rather, the caretaker of these police dogs.

The man and woman behind her had a fainter dog scent. The young policewoman, in particular, with light makeup, had only a slight animal scent, suggesting she was likely the type to observe rather than act.

The man, who appeared to be in his thirties or forties, had an unexpectedly strong odor. However, it wasn't a strong dog smell; rather, it was a very enticing aroma of food. Looking at his rosy cheeks, he resembled a chef in a police uniform.

Lin Ge immediately made up his mind.

"Is this the cat from your police station? I heard from Yang Kang that this cat is very capable, even more so than Beibei."

Trainer Li Mei had a good personality and wasn't biased towards the police cats. She glanced at Lin Ge, who was sitting properly, then turned to the two people behind her and said, "Qian Wei, Xie Lili, what do you two think? This time I'm making things clear to you, there's no room for nitpicking. The most important thing for a police officer is to obey orders. I don't care if you have connections or if you're disliked troublemakers, you have to decide where you're going today."
