Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 613: Destroy flowers with ruthless hands
It was noisy outside the prefab house; it seemed like three or four people were arguing because they were drunk.

Because the room's panels offered no sound insulation, the people inside could hear everything clearly. It sounded like a gambler who felt something was wrong with his losses and was discussing with his companion whether the casino owner was cheating.

The more the man investigated, the angrier he became, and his voice grew louder and louder. But before long, the commotion attracted the attention of the casino's thugs and a manager. With a few words of intimidation, they silenced the gamblers, who muttered a couple of things and then fell silent.

He never mentioned calling the police, probably because he knew these people were not to be trifled with and was worried about retaliation.

Inside the temporary housing, Gong Caigui and Yan Lu were quite frightened by the farce. But in the end, everything was alright, and about half an hour later the noise completely subsided, and the outside returned to calm.

“I really regret it now. I should have found a proper job! Singing for others does pay more money and is enough to support my brother’s schooling; but this line of work is shameful and dangerous because I keep encountering these kinds of terrible things.”

Yan Lu sighed, feeling as if the events of the day had been a nightmare.

How did I get so confused back then?

I can't remember now.

But Yan Lu had already vowed in her heart that she would never do this kind of work again after she got out. She would find a proper job, get married, and live a quiet and peaceful life without ever having any more wild thoughts.

Seeing that Gong Caigui's expression was calm and she was only stroking the cat's back, Yan Lu looked at her with some concern.

"Sister Gui, will you continue doing this after you get out?"

"Who told me I was short of money?"

Gong Caigui didn't hide anything, and said expressionlessly, "My family still owes hundreds of thousands of yuan in debt. How can I have a peaceful life if I don't pay it off? How much can I earn in a month working outside? I need to save enough money quickly, otherwise I'll waste my youth on this, and what future can I talk about?"

"You're still thinking about him?"

Yan Lu knew about Gong Caigui's situation, and upon hearing this, she cautiously asked, "Will he really come back? I feel like that guy is just lying to you! A man who wants you to lend him money to study abroad, would he really come back to marry you?"

"..."

Gong Caigui fell silent, and after a long while shook her head, refusing to discuss the topic any further.

Whether it happens or not, it's already like this.

The two of them sat quietly on the edge of the bed, their eyes occasionally glancing towards the door, worried that those villains might come running over again.

Lin Ge got a little annoyed by Gong Caigui touching him, so he jumped off her lap and then jumped onto the stool opposite him and squatted down.

Looking at the two women in front of him, Lin Ge didn't know how to evaluate them.

Undoubtedly, every family has its own troubles, and no one willingly chooses to give in; everyone has their own difficulties. One needs to earn money to support her younger brother's education, and the other borrowed money to support her boyfriend's studies abroad—neither of them are acting solely for their own benefit. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that they were able to choose to resist when faced with threats?
Because selfish people don't care about things like face and body. Faced with Yuan Xiaoai and Meng Kai's threats, they would have already chosen to compromise, just like those women outside who were drinking with them and providing sexual services.

They could faintly hear panting from next door, which gradually grew louder, causing Gong Caigui and Yan Lu to show embarrassed expressions.

The two women exchanged a glance, then turned their heads away shyly.

Lin Ge listened with amusement, as if it were a novelty, but felt the woman's performance was a bit over the top. Especially when the man's voice quickly became like a bellows, Lin Ge shook his head in disapproval and sighed repeatedly.

Seeing Lin Ge like this, the two women had no idea what was wrong with him and could only wait patiently and awkwardly.

Not long after, the neighbors next door finished.

Before Lin Ge could comment, there was a gentle knock on the window. He looked up and saw Bai Hongyu smiling and waving at him from outside.

Gong Caigui quickly stood up and rushed over.

"Officer, are we going to be rescued soon?"

"Hehe, just wait a little longer."

Bai Hongyu offered a simple reassurance, then beckoned to Lin Ge to come out.

Lin Ge jumped onto the windowsill and climbed over the security bars. Bai Hongyu led him a little further away, and then Lin Ge whispered, "Mimi, Zhang Ke asked me to come and tell you that the safety of the victims is the top priority. If anyone tries to harm them, Zhang Ke told you not to hesitate to take action. In case of emergency, I also need to cooperate by revealing my police identity to scare these guys away first. Anyway, the focus of this group is Meng Kai and a few related leaders. If we catch them, we can naturally follow the clues and catch everyone else. Hmm... that's roughly the gist of it. By the way, the Municipal Criminal Investigation Team has also set off, and they told us not to feel any pressure."

"Is the case getting bigger and bigger? It's just a bunch of gamblers, is there something I don't know about behind it all?"

Lin Ge was somewhat puzzled, but he still nodded to Bai Hongyu. He wouldn't hesitate if absolutely necessary; since he had promised to protect these two women, he was certain he could do it.

"I'm leaving it to you. I need to go check on things over there."

Bai Hongyu patted Lin Ge's cat head and laughed heartily.

Although this was the first time he had met Ling Ge today, he could already tell that the cat was different from others. While he still had doubts about Zhang Ke entrusting the task to a cat, he could at least place some trust in it.

"Wait a minute, where is Zhao Zhigang?"

Lin Ge suddenly thought of something.

Before he could even think of a way to ask, Bai Hongyu had already dashed off with great interest. Heaven knows why such a case could excite him so much.

Lin Ge was speechless as he watched Bai Hongyu disappear into the orange grove.

But then his ears twitched, and Lin Ge suddenly heard footsteps getting closer and closer from the front door of the prefab house, along with a man's cursing voice.

"Boss!"

Two thugs at the door greeted him loudly, and the continuous game noise stopped.

"Are those two behaving themselves inside?"

A somewhat hoarse, yet deliberately rough voice came over.

"Hehe... You have to admit, Granny Yuan is really capable! She went in and threatened them, and those two women immediately shut up. Before, they were making a big fuss about calling the police, but now they haven't uttered a single word."

The thugs respectfully opened the door to the prefab house.

Meng Kai walked in with a cheerful smile and saw two women peering out the window. Gong Caigui was still holding the window closed when she heard the noise behind her and slowly withdrew her hand.

Neither of them turned around; they simply remained standing motionless by the window.

But their decision not to commit suicide caught Meng Kai's eye, and he quickly strode in and closed the door behind him.

"That's more like it! What's the point of continuing to oppose me? You mere women, do you really think you can cause me any trouble? To be honest, dealing with you is a piece of cake for me. If I didn't want you to do it willingly, I would have already stripped you naked and thrown you out."

Meng Kai chuckled as he spoke, but he didn't lower his guard. He first looked around the room and, finding nothing amiss, went to the window and squeezed between Gong Caigui and Yan Lu, talking and observing the situation outside at the same time.

The two women naturally quickly moved away from him, hiding near the doorway.

"Tsk!"

Meng Kai wasn't angry; he just took a good look at the pitch-black scene outside.

Once he was sure there was nothing unexpected, he turned around with a smile, squinting as he sized up the two women's slender figures.

"To be honest, you guys are a bit different from those bitches outside."

Stroking his chin, Meng Kai chuckled and commented, "They don't have that worldly air, nor that wildness, but they're not as naive and clueless as respectable women. To be honest, they're quite rare. Hehe... No wonder my brother can't stop thinking about you two, trying every trick in the book to lure you over. Even I'm starting to feel tempted. How about we make a deal? Be my mistresses, and I won't force you to serve anyone else."

"Don't think about it!"

Gong Caigui glared at Meng Kai, her teeth clenched as she stared at the culprit who had caused all of this.

Yan Lu also shook her head vigorously, resolutely disagreeing with the request.

"Heh... So you're going to refuse a polite toast only to suffer the consequences, huh?"

Meng Kai wasn't angry; in fact, it was precisely this kind of fierce woman that made her so captivating. He continued to brazenly scrutinize the two women, then sneered and threatened, "Don't think Granny Yuan was joking with you! Let me tell you the truth, she's not the only woman she's harmed. They've suffered terribly, wishing they were dead. Do you understand what I mean? The consequences of opposing me are unimaginable. Or do you think death will end it all? Don't dream! You have parents, you have families, right? When you die, they won't be able to hold their heads high in front of outsiders either. Do you understand what I mean?" "You…beast!"

Faced with Meng Kai's threat, Gong Caigui gritted her teeth. She truly hadn't expected this man to be so despicable.

"..."

Yan Lu didn't dare to make a sound, but secretly glanced at the head of the bed next to Meng Kai.

She didn't know if the cat the police brought in was reliable or not. What if the person wasn't a policeman at all and was just joking with her?
In short, the two women had no way to fight back against a vicious villain like Meng Kai, and could only helplessly endure his various insults and threats.

"As expected, there's always someone better, and even worse than a beast!"

Lin Ge, who was hiding under the covers by the bedside, couldn't help but shake his head in dismay after hearing Meng Kai's threat.

He had encountered more than one or two villains who made arrests and arrests. But a guy like Meng Kai, who didn't even spare people's lives and threatened their families, was truly rare.

What's the point of someone like that running a casino? They might as well go abroad and start a criminal gang. Such rotten scum shouldn't stay in this country and pollute this relatively clean land.

Of course, Lin Ge also knew that compared to gambling, prostitution, and drugs, those who run casinos are actually the most despicable. Forcing women into prostitution, cheating, extortion, employing thugs to carry out violent acts—there's nothing they wouldn't do. All the methods they employ centered around their casinos are aimed at ruining families. The various organized crimes that arise outside of gambling are the real reason the state is cracking down on this industry.

Gambling and loan sharking, loan sharking and violent debt collection, and violence leading to murder and arson—these are violent crimes that can escalate to an extremely threatening level.

Everyone understands that casino owners make more money the more unscrupulous they are.

"looking at what?"

Meng Kai was no ordinary person, and he quickly noticed that Yan Lu's eyes were a little strange, as if she had suddenly gained some kind of support.

Looking in the direction she kept glancing, Meng Kai grinned.

This is... something sneaking in because my men weren't paying attention?
With a smile, Chao Yanlu walked over, ignoring the woman's flustered attempts to dodge. Meng Kai returned to the main entrance, regaining control and able to move in or out at will.

"Two people have come in!"

Meng Kai suddenly roared, and soon two of his men opened the door and squeezed in.

Meng Kai's tough attitude and sudden change of heart stunned Yan Lu, who was already very nervous, and Gong Caigui also pursed her lips and clenched her fists tightly.

"Check under the bed, see if there are bedbugs hiding there!"

Meng Kai pointed to the single bed and gave the order, but he himself had no intention of going over there from beginning to end.

The two thugs were slightly taken aback, and one of them, who had been guarding the door, changed his expression drastically. He really thought he had let someone in by mistake, and immediately rushed over aggressively, forcefully flipping the bed board over with both hands.

"..."

Apart from dust and dirt, nothing unusual was found under the bed.

Both thugs were taken aback, turned to look at Meng Kai, and silently asked their boss what he meant.

"Tsk!"

Meng Kai pouted, feeling both embarrassed and somewhat relieved.

He waved his hand, signaling the two could leave. He breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again, smiling as he stared at Yan Lu. "Can you tell me the truth? Did someone sneak over here? Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, I won't do anything to you. You can even treat what I just said as nonsense! As long as you tell the truth, I'll let you go. That's right! I never mistreat those who have contributed, as long as she doesn't oppose me."

"..."

Yan Lu fell silent, and was even somewhat tempted.

She didn't know if the police would actually come, or if they could protect her while these people were fighting like cornered beasts. What if she was silenced? What if she was taken hostage? Who would dare take such a gamble?

So when Yan Lu heard Meng Kai say that he would let her go as long as she told the truth, she instantly felt the urge to tell him about the police.

As for whether this guy would escape the police's clutches, Yan Lu didn't have time to worry about it. She was only concerned with her own safety and pinned her hopes on saving Meng Kai, believing that he would keep his promise after she rescued him.

She also believed that the police wouldn't blame her. She just wanted to survive, and she was trying everything she could to save herself, nothing more.

As the police officer just said, the safety of the victims is the top priority, and even if the operation fails and the suspect escapes, it's understandable and acceptable.

and so……

"Well, actually..."

After thinking it through, Yan Lu worried that Gong Caigui would steal her opportunity, so she hurriedly spoke up.

'Snapped! '

A hard slap landed on Yan Lu's face. It interrupted her before she could say anything and left her completely stunned.

Yan Lu covered her face and stared at Gong Caigui in astonishment.

"How stupid are you to actually believe this guy's promise? He was just planning to ruin you, and now you believe his nonsense?"

Gong Caigui looked coldly at Yan Lu, and one sentence left her speechless.

At the same time, Gong Caigui knew that saying this was almost tantamount to burying her head in the sand. But what could she do? This foolish sister had already alerted the enemy; now she could only hope that the policeman could hide well and not be discovered by this group.

"Hehe... I see."

As expected, Meng Kai didn't need Yan Lu to say much. Her very attitude when she spoke already proved a lot. Gong Caigui's slap was also just right; being interrupted meant he didn't need to keep his promise.

Pulling a walkie-talkie from his back, Meng Kai gritted his teeth and said, "Send men to search the area. Rats have gotten in! I don't know if they're police, but they're definitely not good people. Anyway, don't waste time, get those freeloaders to work! Also, tell the venue that we won't be operating all night tonight. We'll close up shop when we change venues later, and then send the guests down the mountain to the village to rest. Oh, and have someone transfer all the money."

Meng Kai gave instructions in front of Gong Caigui and Yan Lu, seemingly not worried at all that they would report him.

Yan Lu was still terrified, wondering if she had ruined the police's plans, but Gong Caigui instantly realized that Meng Kai was about to make a move against the two of them.

Sure enough, the next second he put away the walkie-talkie, and Meng Kai beckoned to his two subordinates behind him, pointing at the two women and saying, "These two women are yours! Do whatever you want with them, the only requirement is to clean up afterwards, and don't leave any survivors!"

After saying that, Meng Kai turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

He didn't even know what had happened, but at the slightest provocation, he didn't hesitate to ruthlessly destroy anything. This is the true nature of these professional gangsters; human life is utterly unimportant to them.

"Hehe... such a good thing?"

The door slammed shut with a bang by Meng Kai, and the two thugs rubbed their hands together and sneered.

Although they had enjoyed countless benefits following Meng Kai, this was the first time they had ever had a woman all to themselves. As for silencing her afterward… that wasn't important; throwing her into the water was a simple matter…

"You...don't come over!"

Yan Lu was shocked and retreated hastily, finally realizing her mistake. How could she have believed the promise of a bad person? Wasn't that utterly ridiculous?
But by then, it seemed too late for regrets.

So...should I save this stupid woman or not?

Lin Ge poked his head out from under the quilt, which was crammed into a ball.

He sighed helplessly as he watched the two bastards approach the two women step by step.

"Ugh! There's no option to refuse right now, is there? Are you expecting me to stay in the house and watch them get raped? In that situation, how could I possibly stand it and not come out and crush those two bastards?"

Lingo quietly peeked out and then extended his claws.
