Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 6 Cat Fighting
Lin Ge didn't recognize the man, but judging from his appearance, he didn't seem like a bad person.

More importantly, this man had a very strong, varied scent of cats.

Even from a distance and with only a rough discernment, Lingo could smell no fewer than ten different scents left behind by cats he had been in contact with for a long time.

In other words, even if he doesn't keep a large number of cats at home, he must be engaged in cat-related work, and is most likely not the drug-related criminal he imagined.

But... why is he staring so intently at me?

Slightly relaxed, Lin Ge slowed down and stood on the other side of the electric gate fence at the school entrance, carefully examining the person.

He looked to be in his thirties, with a unkempt beard and casual clothes, appearing somewhat unkempt. With his excellent eyesight, Lin Ge even spotted many white cat hairs on his trouser legs. Even if those were difficult to maintain, to go out dressed like that…

Upon noticing Lin Ge approaching, the man's eyes lit up, and he quickly crouched down and waved to Lin Ge.

He even took out strips of cat treats from his pocket, skillfully tore them open, squeezed out a little, and handed them to Ringo.

"Come here, little cat, there's something delicious for you."

Lingo pursed his lips, flicked his tail, and didn't move.

Undeterred, the man carefully placed the cat treat on the stone block, then stepped back a few paces, continuing to scrutinize Lin Ge with eager eyes.

Only a brainless, stupid cat would be tempted by something like this, right?

Lin Ge twitched his nose twice, and indeed found that the snacks were emitting an enticing aroma that even made him hungry. But that alone was not enough to tempt him.

"who are you!"

At this moment, Nie Zhuangzhuang and several other children ran over and blocked Lin Ge's way without hesitation.

Several children confronted the man across the school gate. Hu Miao was holding a bamboo broom that he had somehow found, looking both eager and menacing.

"Hey? Kid, is this your cat?"

The man did not back down because of the children; in fact, he was even more pleased and moved closer to them.

"Hey, who are you?"

At this moment, the security guard at the school gate, who originally didn't want to get involved in the cat's business, finally couldn't sit still and slowly walked over.

"Oh? It's nothing, nothing. I just need to talk to the cat's owner about something."

The man paused for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, my name is Zhao Liang, and I own a pet shop. I just saw this cat and thought it was quite nice, so I'm a bit fond of it. Don't worry, I won't come in. But could you please give me the contact information of one of the parents? I'm willing to pay a high price to buy this cat."

Buy me? You're asking for it!
A cold glint flashed in Lin Ge's eyes, and his sharp fingernails cautiously peeked out from under the fleshy mound. He swore that if this bastard dared to take another step closer, he would show no mercy!

How dare they make a move on him? Do they have a death wish?

"I'm not selling Mimi!"

Although the children were disappointed that the man wasn't the bad guy they had imagined, they also disliked his explanation. Hu Miao refused without hesitation.

"That's right! Not for sale!"

The three boys quickly chimed in.

Zhang Yining adjusted his glasses, radiating a chilling aura, and said, "Mimi is the cat of Zhanghe Police Station! If you have the guts, go buy her from the police station! By the way, if you dare to use a cat tag to lure a police officer's cat, are you prepared to be in trouble with the police?"

"Hey?"

Zhao Liang was stunned, never expecting that this cat had such a background.

The policeman's cat in the police station?
This is a bit of a headache! Even if Mr. Li is very capable, he probably doesn't want to get into this kind of trouble, right? If things aren't kept secret, wouldn't it be even easier for the cat's identity to be exposed? Forget it, there are plenty of capable cats out there, no need to take the risk.

Recalling the scene he had seen before, where Lin Ge easily jumped up a wall more than two meters high without a running start, Zhao Liang shook his head regretfully.

Not daring to further etch his memory in front of the children, Zhao Liang pulled his baseball cap down lower and turned to leave.

"Is this guy... really the owner of a pet shop?"

Lin Ge stared intently at Zhao Liang's retreating figure, his mind racing.

Just now, as this guy got closer, he unexpectedly smelled a faint scent of blood. However, there was a bloody smell but no disinfectant smell, which...

Lin Ge couldn't help but mentally assess the threat level posed by this person.

The children were somewhat disappointed when they saw that the matter was over. "They're leaving already? Tch, I was hoping he'd get a taste of the power of my forty-meter-long sword!"

At some point, Zheng Jiacheng picked up Hu Miao's broom and started waving it around like a weapon.

"..."

Hu Miao glanced at this cowardly opportunist and ignored him.

"Alright, alright, everyone go back to your exercises!"

The security guards didn't want to cause trouble and knew that these children came from families with unusual backgrounds, so they could only politely persuade them to go back, while ignoring Lin Ge.

"The police station's cat is so imposing. Tsk tsk... When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs benefit!"

With a jealous mutter, he snatched the broom from Zheng Jiacheng's hand and placed it against the wall.

Seeing the children still murmuring and seemingly wanting more, he couldn't help but say upon returning, "Little ones, tell your parents about this when you get home. If I'm not mistaken, that person is probably a cat dealer. But he's not buying cats to resell; he's most likely using them for bored people to play with. If he takes that cat away, it probably won't live more than a few days."

"Cat fighting?"

Nie Zhuangzhuang looked up curiously; he had never heard of this word before.

Apart from Zhang Yining, who seemed lost in thought, all the other children looked at the security guard.

"These days, there's cockfighting, dogfighting, and even catfighting, so it's not surprising. Anyway, it's just idle gossip from bored people, and it has nothing to do with you kids. Go back now!"

As he spoke, he herded the children back to their exercise line on the playground, as if shooing away chicks.

"Cat fighting?"

Lingo lost interest in running wild and jumped back onto the relatively safe wall.

Looking down at his sharp claws and the two-and-a-half-meter-high wall he had easily scaled, he roughly understood why Zhao Liang had targeted him.

That's understandable!

These days, cats are mostly domesticated, and even stray cats have lost their former ferocity. Organizing cat fights is easy, but finding suitable cats is crucial…

Finding one or two might be possible, but these kinds of venues are usually quite large, so getting a sufficient number of skilled cats is not easy.

That Zhao Liang, is he probably one of the cat finders working for certain people?
If you can buy something, buy it; if you can abduct someone, abduct them; you might even resort to some shady methods. Zhao Liang is very likely one of those people who hides in the gray area of ​​the law.

Of course... as long as he doesn't cause him any more trouble, Lin Ge will most likely ignore this kind of thing.

After all, he's just a cat; he can't control humans.

"Besides... since the security guard reminded her, it seems Zhang Yining has taken it to heart. She'll definitely tell Zhang Yong about it when she gets back. Then my safety will be in Zhang Yong's hands. After all, he's done a good job for the police station; does he dare to ignore me?"

Lin Ge lazily thought to himself, suddenly realizing that lying on the wall wasn't so bad. Although the place was small, it was quiet, and the cool breeze was more refreshing than on the lawn.

It's just that the chattering bird next to me is a bit annoying!

The dead birds in the city have evolved strangely, becoming increasingly unafraid of humans. They dare to run on human feet and peck at food at the morning market stalls, and now they even dare to provoke a cat on its head? Do they really think cats, known as bird killers, are porridge eaters?

Lin Ge raised his head and gave a murderous look to a gray magpie that was calling and hopping on a tree branch above him.

"Chat!"

The magpie was startled by Ling Ge and fluttered up two tree branches, but its calls became even more unrestrained.

Lin Ge was about to make his move when suddenly a reflection of light pierced his eyes.

"telescope?"

He quickly turned his head to avoid the glaring reflection, but his mind became tense.

Someone was watching him from a distance with binoculars!
who is it?

Was it Zhao Liang, who had pretended to drive away earlier? Or was it someone else?
But why?
I'm just a cat, why are they all targeting me?

Lin Ge became increasingly puzzled.
