Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 663 The Heartbroken Little Tiger
"Mimi! You can go out to play, but remember to come back when you get a call!"

Upon noticing that Lin Ge was about to leave, Zhu Jun quickly called out to him.

Now that everyone knows Mimi has a new collar, they no longer stop the cat from running around. After all, she's a cat, and it's not practical to always keep her under control. There's no need to confine this great cat to her post.

"Ow!"

Lin Ge turned around angrily and roared.

Nie Guoqiang promised he'd be back once he recovered, so what's the rush? They're all clearly exhausted, yet they insist on putting on an act. Do they really want Nie Guoqiang to take over? Believe me, he'll give them a good beating if he finds out!
"Honestly! I just got the phone, and they're already rushing me like they're on a leash; I should have just left it at all, I'd still be much freer to solve cases!"

Lin Ge pouted slightly, looking a bit annoyed. He went back to the cattery, greeted the kittens, played with them for a bit, and received disapproving looks from the female tortoiseshell cats. Once the sun had set and it had cooled down a bit, he set off for Luo Jue's place.

The distance wasn't far; after strolling for only a few minutes, I only encountered a few of my underlings on the road and noticed a few new stray cats in the neighborhood before arriving at Luo Jue's doorstep.

Before even entering the room, one could hear Chen Dongzhi's hearty laughter from inside.

Lin Ge peeked out and saw that the old man was tutoring Luo Jue with her homework. It seemed that Luo Jue had done a good job on a certain question, so the old man kept praising her loudly, and even said that Luo Jue was smarter than Ai Yun was when she was a child, and was a talented child.

These words naturally drew disapproval from Ai Yun, but she was immediately silenced by Fan Weiping before she could even open her mouth.

With a grandson, the daughter is no longer important. It's obvious that Ai Yun's status at home has dropped to a level that evokes pity. Looking at her squatting on the sofa, looking so aggrieved, Lin Ge couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Sit still!"

Even so, Fan Weiping still wouldn't let her go.

"Waaah... You guys might as well go back. Luo Jue and I will stay here... Ouch! You hit me again!"

Ai Yun pouted, feeling wronged, but before she could finish speaking, Fan Weiping smacked her on the head again.

Seeing her mother's unfortunate state, Luo Jue wanted to help, but Chen Dongzhi pulled her back to sit down, saying that she could only do other things after finishing her homework, and that she was not allowed to be distracted now.

"so good!"

Lin Ge sighed with emotion, saying that he had finally found his own happy life in Luo Jue's home.

He has a loving mother, a grandmother who takes care of him, and a grandfather who teaches him. From a trafficked child who was once trained like a hyena, to a family with a promising future, Luo Jue's life has undergone a complete transformation.

Despite Ai Yun's aggrieved expression and constant beatings, her bright eyes betray her true feelings. Although she still claims not to remember Chen Dongzhi and Fan Weiping as her parents, the affection she showed during their shared life and her coquettish manner after being scolded by Fan Weiping reveal her happy mood. Her deliberate acts of provocation might simply be a way of interacting with her mother, and both perhaps find this intimacy quite enjoyable.

"It seems that Luo Jue gets along well with his grandparents. I was worried for nothing."

Lin Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

He had previously been terrified that Luo Jue would turn on him when he saw Ai Yun being reprimanded by Fan Weiping, especially afraid that he would suddenly pull out a knife or attack the elderly couple. But now, it seemed he had learned to read people's expressions and knew what was real and what was a joke. Although Ai Yun's pitiful appearance made Luo Jue glance at her repeatedly and hesitate to speak, he already knew how good the two elderly people were to him and his mother, and he didn't object to them doing anything foolish again.

With Chen Dongzhi's tutoring this summer, Luo Jue should be able to catch up in his studies. He might actually have a chance to forge a new future and a completely different life.

"Hey! Mimi!"

Just as Lin Ge was about to turn away, having given up on disturbing the family, Ai Yun still caught a glimpse of him.

Fan Weiping had sealed away Ai Yun's previous reckless behavior, and now she was at a loss for what to do. She looked up and saw Lin Ge at the gate of the courtyard. Her eyes lit up and she scrambled to her feet to open the door for him.

This woman saw Lingo as her savior, and was simply bored out of her mind, finally able to find a cat to relieve her boredom.

You should know that after Chen Dongzhi and Fan Weiping arrived, even her pet Teddy dog ​​betrayed her and joined the enemy. This meritorious dog, which rescued Ai Yun from Huang Guimei and could even be said to have uncovered the truth behind Huang Guimei's human trafficking case, now wags its tail and follows Fan Weiping around every day.

After learning that the little Teddy had saved her daughter, Fan Weiping treated the dog very well. She fed it the best fish and meat every day, and was very diligent in grooming it, cleaning up its poop, and taking it for walks.

The little teddy bear made the old lady very happy, and she loved it dearly. This even made Ai Yun a little jealous, feeling that her status at home was now lower than that of the dog.

"But I still have Mimi!"

Ai Yun hugged Lin Ge tightly, nuzzling her head against him affectionately while arrogantly glaring at Fan Weiping.

This guy is the type who never learns his lesson. Even though he's no match for Fan Weiping, he's always looking to provoke her.

However, this time... Lin Ge still has some face with Fan Weiping.

Fan Weiping glared at her daughter, then grunted to stop the excited little Teddy from rushing out, and quietly watched Ai Yun walk in carrying the cat.

"Boss!"

As soon as Luo Jue saw Lin Ge, she quickly stood up and greeted him.

His attitude and way of addressing her made Chen Dongzhi feel disgusted and helpless. She was just annoyed that her grandson couldn't change this one thing.

However, after recalling Luo Jue's story about his experience with the cat, Chen Dongzhi could only remain silent and let things take their course.

"What brings Mimi here?"

Fan Weiping was only cold to her daughter; she treated Lin Ge very well. Even though there wasn't much to feed the cat, she still greeted Lin Ge politely with a smile on her face.

"Okay, let's take a break first."

Seeing that Luo Jue's mind was no longer on his studies, Chen Dongzhi stopped trying to restrain him and sat down on the sofa with Luo Jue. Seeing the cat looking dejected in his daughter's arms, he suddenly let out a sigh of regret.

"Mimi, my daughter and grandson are so grateful to you. I only knew how hard things were for them after hearing about their past from Juejue. Thank you so much for saving them, really... thank you!"

"It's nothing, it's all fate!"

Lin Ge accepted Chen Dongzhi's thanks without ceremony, then casually glanced around the room.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the house feels warmer and more vibrant than before. Perhaps it's because the two elders are here, or maybe it's because Fan Weiping has tidied up the house and paid attention to the details, making the house look much better. Before, I certainly couldn't rely on Ai Yun for these things. And Luo Jue isn't particularly meticulous, plus he has to go to school, so the house was much more casual than it is now.

This can be seen from the neatly arranged coffee table and the clean dining table. Having someone in the house who takes care of things carefully and patiently makes things different from before.

but……

Lin Ge, Chen Dongzhi, and Fan Weiping ultimately had nothing to talk about.

Unlike Luo Jue, Ai Yun, the police officers, and the children and friends Lin Ge knew, the two elderly people were not willing to chatter on and on about a cat.

So after a simple thank you and a few casual words, the two elderly people were unsure how to interact with the cat. Should they treat it as a guest, a benefactor, or a pet? Encountering such a unique cat always leaves one somewhat bewildered.

Lin Ge came over for no particular reason other than to check on Luo Jue and Ai Yun, and to see if anything had changed at home because of the two elders' visit.

Now, all the changes are positive and uplifting. Even Ai Yun's condition has improved a lot compared to before. She looks more lively and clever, and perhaps the day when she stops having the disease is just around the corner.

Lin Ge breathed a sigh of relief, stayed for a while, politely declined Fan Weiping's offer to stay for dinner, and chose to leave gracefully.

Luo Jue chased after her.

He seemed to want to say something, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, and in the end he just nodded heavily to Lingo.

"Boss, thank you!"

"Thank me my ass!"

Lin Ge flicked his tail in response to Luo Jue; he hadn't done all this for Luo Jue's thanks. Now that Luo Jue's life was back on track, Lin Ge was relieved.

Suddenly in a good mood, Lin Ge skipped back to the police station.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he suddenly smelled the scents of Lin Jia and An Qian.

Upon entering, I found two girls squatting together, petting a cat!
The seven little kittens lay sprawled on the floor in front of the two girls, cuddling and rubbing against their hands and legs, much to the girls' delight. Their sweet, meowing voices made the girls' eyes sparkle with hearts; they held one kitten in each arm and petted the other, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Lin Ge didn't know how Lin Jia and An Qian knew each other, but thinking about it, it didn't seem strange. After all, both women often came to the police station, and it was inevitable that they would bump into each other occasionally.

Moreover, both girls actually had pretty good personalities; although they each had some minor issues, they weren't serious. Coupled with their shared special feelings towards Mimi, they quickly found common ground and became friends. "Mimi's back!"

Lin Jia moved her head away from Xiao Duo's belly and looked up to see Lin Ge standing speechlessly at the entrance of the cat shelter.

"Ow!"

Lin Ge responded, then glared at the little tabby cat lying on the mat in the corner of the cattery, looking like it was about to die. This guy actually knew to come back? Lin Ge had thought it was so in love with the beauty that it had forgotten all about home and had already decided to marry into the family!
"Meow~"

The little tabby cat greeted Lingo listlessly before lying back down on the mat, slacking off.

Lin Ge didn't smell much of that Daji cat's scent on it, so it seems that the little tabby's love life hasn't progressed much lately, and it hasn't won the heart of its beauty yet.

Of course, it's also possible that Fang Jing is trying to break up the couple and doesn't like Little Tiger.

"You idiot! A mere female cat has turned you into this?"

Lin Ge walked over irritably and slapped the little tiger-striped boy hard on the head. This kid used to be so clever and daring when he was little, how did he turn into such a monster?

"Meow~"

The little tabby didn't resist, only letting out a lazy howl. It seemed to be saying to Lingo, "A well-fed man doesn't know the hunger of a starving man."

Behind it, the snowclaw budgie smugly and furtively touched the little budgie's tail, seemingly both provoking and showing off.

The little tiger completely ignored it.

That is, when the little hawksbill turtle comes over worriedly, the little tiger stripe will look up and respond, but will continue to pretend to be dead with a depressed look. It is unclear who it is trying to impress.

Anyway, the mother tortoiseshell completely ignored her stupid son, and just quietly lay on the top of the cat tree, watching the little tabby cat play the victim with a blank expression.

"Mimi, what's wrong with Little Tiger?"

Lin Jia had noticed earlier that the little tiger was acting strangely, and now she couldn't resist her curiosity and came over.

"Ow!"

Lin Ge called out in an annoyed tone.

"Kukuuku~"

Anxi couldn't help but laugh.

She knew some of the inside story; after all, she and Jiang Yiyi had a pretty good relationship, and the age gap wasn't as large as that between Lin Jia and Jiang Yiyi. She and Jiang Yiyi still had some things to talk about, and with Jiang Yiyi's help, she was slowly overcoming her autistic symptoms.

With the intention of sharing the excitement, Anxi told Lin Jia about the little tiger, which immediately made Lin Jia laugh heartily, and her eyes curved into crescents as she looked at the little tiger.

"Poor little tabby, you've been dumped!"

Lin Jia approached the little tabby cat and patted its head.

"Meow~"

The little tabby turned its head away irritably, as if to say, "If you keep making sarcastic remarks, I won't let you touch me!"

Then it looked pitifully at Lingo again, as if begging its father for help.

"Phew... I'm really impressed by you!"

Lin Ge couldn't bear it in the end and thought about whether he should try to match it up with Daji Cat. He really didn't want to see his son make such an ugly mess.

Of course, if Daji the cat refuses to comply even at the cost of her life, then there's nothing Lin Ge can do. After all, feelings are a matter of mutual consent; you can't force a cow to drink water or force two cats that don't like each other to be a couple, can you?
Besides, if all else fails, we can just pick one of our own little brothers that the tabby cub can get along with!
To be honest, Lin Ge felt he had quite a few cats under his command, not to mention the expensive breeds kept in Li Yiduo's villa. There were tons of adorable, unique, gentle, or fierce female cats—what if they hit it off?

Of course, it would be best if the little tabby could be with its first love.

"Get up and come with me!"

Lin Ge kicked Little Tiger in the butt, and Little Tiger screamed and quickly stood up.

Then Lin Ge led it to the police station's office area, only to remember that Jiang Yiyi was off work today, and he would have to go to her place to find her. After circling around a few more times, he found Zhu Jun, but found that he was also very busy, so he didn't want to disturb him.

Giving up on his plan to have Zhu Jun contact Jiang Yiyi, Lin Ge led the little tiger out of the police station.

Looking up at the sky, I realized that thick, dark clouds had appeared sometime earlier. The temperature had noticeably dropped rapidly, and even a cool breeze was blowing, as if a downpour could happen at any moment.

"How about tomorrow?"

Lin Ge hesitated for a moment, then glanced back at the little tiger.

After all, if it suddenly pours rain halfway there and you get completely soaked, that's no joke. Although Lin Ge considers himself to be in good health, catching a cold would be a real hassle.

"Meow~"

The little tabby looked up at Lin Ge and let out a pitiful cry.

Although it didn't know where its father was taking it, it knew that its father would never let it down. It couldn't back down now; it felt restless if it didn't see Daji Cat for even a day.

"Seriously... I'm impressed!"

Lin Ge sighed, feeling that being a father wasn't easy. He could only pray that the rain wouldn't start too early as he stepped onto the sidewalk.

The little tabby excitedly wagged its tail and quickly followed.

About twenty minutes later, the weather looked even worse. Dark clouds loomed overhead, a cold wind howled, visibility became gloomy and oppressive, and the swirling dust made it hard for the cat to open its eyes. But thankfully, Jiang Yiyi's apartment was right in front of him, so Lin Ge quickly ran inside.

Finding Jiang Yiyi's house with practiced ease, Lin Ge jumped up and rang the doorbell, then stepped back a few paces and crouched down where the camera could see him.

"Mimi?"

A moment later, Jiang Yiyi, wearing pajamas and with cucumber slices all over her face, opened the door.

Jiang Yiyi was somewhat surprised to see the police station's cats at her doorstep. Then, seeing the tabby cat crouching behind Lin Ge, looking disgusted after smelling the cucumber, she suddenly guessed why the two cats had come.

"Hey! You can't handle it yourself, so you call your parents? You're such a wimp, how can you give up at the first sign of trouble?"

Jiang Yiyi greeted them with a smile as she welcomed the two cats into her home.

Jiang Yiyi threatened the tabby cat, forbidding it from running around or jumping on the table and sofa, and forcing it to stay put. Only then did she take two cups of yogurt from the refrigerator, tear off the caps, and place the cups on the ground for the two cats to lick.

Lin Ge only licked it a few times, while Little Tiger seemed to have suffered a lot during this time, wolfing it down, which made Jiang Yiyi laugh non-stop.

She plucked a slice of cucumber from her face and stuck it into her yogurt cup, while the little tiger continued licking it without a care. This attitude made Jiang Yiyi purse her lips in disappointment, and she looked back at Lin Ge, who was staring at her, feeling bored.

"Mimi, there's nothing we can do! Whether it's a person or a cat, a simp will end up with nothing. That principle applies to everyone."

Sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, Jiang Yiyi talked eloquently.

Her ample thighs made Lin Ge glance at her twice; he had to admit that among the young policewomen at the police station, this woman probably had the best figure. In short, Zhu Jun was lucky, and this was clearly an example of getting everything you wanted by licking someone's boots.

"That Daji cat is spoiled rotten by my best friend. Besides, it's not even old enough to go into heat yet, so how could it possibly respond to the tabby cat's courtship? Let's just wait a few more months until it's old enough, then I'll have Fang Jing bring it over."

In the end, Jiang Yiyi made a promise, which was a very satisfactory answer for Lin Ge.

Turning to look at the little tabby cat, who was now full and no longer making a fuss, Lin Ge decided to say goodbye and leave.

However, before it could signal Jiang Yiyi to open the door, a sudden gust of wind arose outside. Then, a torrential downpour began. Jiang Yiyi rushed to the balcony to close the doors and windows, while Lin Ge found himself speechless, trapped on this side of the apartment building.
