Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 69 Lifting a weight is easy
"You have ten minutes! If you don't pay me in ten minutes, I'll kill you!"

"Impossible! Do you even understand? Ten minutes isn't enough time to transfer the money to your account! Long Xiaojun, you're just being insincere!"

"I don't care! I'll burn him to death right now!"

"If you dare touch him, you won't get a single penny!"

"Holy shit, you %&..."

"Go ahead and curse, but after you're done, listen patiently to what I have to say, and we'll come up with a suitable solution!"

"What kind of plan is this? I just want money!"

"Can't you at least show some sincerity?"

"Get lost! Liar!"

Long Xiaojun roared hysterically, his emotions reaching their limit.

The people of Song, on the other hand, were full of rhetoric.

Although he was equally uneasy, he wouldn't hesitate once he had made the decision. The Song man focused intently on completing his task, shouting into the microphone to draw Long Xiaojun's attention.

Midway through, he tried to get Li Yiduo to quietly move the drone closer, but Long Xiaojun was wary and suspicious. The guy swung a rusty iron skewer forcefully, forcing the drone back as it was about to move.

It has to be said that this guy is quite vigilant.

While arguing with the Song people, he didn't forget to open the gasoline can and pour it down. After pouring it out, he arrogantly threw the empty can down, and the long fall drew gasps from onlookers outside the factory.

Lingo ignored all of this.

He had been hiding in the shadows for three or four minutes, like a ghostly assassin, observing and familiarizing himself with Long Xiaojun's movements, turning habits, and other details.

At the same time, Lin Ge had already confirmed Long Xiaojun's 'roughness'.

This guy was definitely not a professional kidnapper; many of his actions were full of flaws in Lingo's eyes.

This calmed Lin Ge's worried and tense mood.

He began to get eager to try.

Time passed slowly, and Lin Ge, like a hunting beast, patiently searched for the perfect opportunity. He watched quietly as Long Xiaojun turned around, pulled out another oil can, and began to twist the cap while cursing. But from beginning to end, the lighter was tightly gripped in his right hand.

Halfway through the process, the Song people started verbally harassing him again, and Long Xiaojun angrily turned around and cursed at the drone.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Ge slowly peeked out.

Little by little, silently, the dirty cat crawled out of the chimney and came to Long Xiaojun's side.

This entire scene was exposed to the drone's view. Song Guoren, Zhang Hao, Nie Guoqiang, and the others facing the camera all held their breath in tension.

This cat actually climbed up a chimney that's over 100 meters high!
He did not disappoint everyone!
And then, the hunt begins!
Everyone clenched their fists.

"I'm warning you, I'm losing patience! This is my last warning, once this pot of oil is poured out, I'm setting it on fire! Damn it, those with nothing to lose aren't afraid of those wearing shoes, I'm not afraid of death if someone else is going to die with me, do you hear me!"

Long Xiaojun held the unscrewed kettle lid and shouted threats at the drone.

He was completely unaware that a dirty cat covered in soot had silently approached him.

The cat crouched quietly beside him, its large eyes fixed on his right hand. The two were so close together that there was almost no space between them; at first glance, it looked like a pet cuddling with a person, the two of them incredibly intimate.

Seeing this, everyone in front of the camera tensed up.

"Ok?"

Long Xiaojun vaguely sensed something was amiss.

He looked around but found nothing amiss. Then, grabbing the oil can with both hands, he expertly poured the oil downwards while cursing.

"Ok!"

A pair of pointed ears suddenly appeared in his line of sight, and Long Xiaojun was stunned for a moment.

Not reacting for a moment, he turned his head to continue pouring oil. But the next second, Long Xiaojun's body stiffened, and suddenly all the hairs on his body stood on end!
what!
Long Xiaojun was startled when something that shouldn't have been there suddenly appeared in front of him.

In a flash, Lingo also moved.

He was like a nimble weaver, or a gentle breeze, as he stood up lightly and naturally raised his right hand to touch Long Xiaojun's wrist.

It's that simple.

There was no pouncing, no biting, and no roaring.

Long Xiaojun's weight was on the oil can, and the lighter was wedged between his palm and the can without much force. Lin Ge simply pushed gently upwards with his claws, and the lighter was pushed out of Long Xiaojun's hand.

'Clap. '

Under Long Xiaojun's astonished gaze, the lighter fell onto the shelf and bounced.

Startled, he hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but unexpectedly, a dirty, thick tail appeared next to the lighter first. The tip of the tail was hooked, and the hair on the tail was very coarse. It lightly swept the lighter, causing it to fall into the gap of the cable tray...

Long Xiaojun froze. Lin Ge, however, did not stop. He placed his right leg on the iron skewer leaning against the side and gently pushed it down.

With a clang, the iron skewer spun and fell to the ground.

This scene was captured perfectly on camera, and everyone roared with excitement.

"it is good!"

Zhang Hao shouted, turning to Li Yiduo: "Quick! Get closer and detonate the stun grenade!"

"Team leader..."

Li Yiduo was somewhat reluctant, "Mimi is still up there, what if she catches the gasoline on fire again..."

Zhang Hao's expression hardened: "What nonsense are you talking about! Can you guarantee that Long Xiaojun doesn't have any other sources of ignition? Hurry up! The stun grenade is detonated internally; it won't ignite the gasoline! Hurry up! Quickly!"

Li Yiduo was still hesitating.

Standing beside Li Yiduo, Nie Guoqiang remained silent. His eyes were fixed on the drone screen, watching as the drone, under Li Yiduo's control, slowly approached Long Xiaojun, gradually zooming in on the content on the screen.

Surprisingly, the people of Song did not urge Zhang Hao; in fact, they even stopped him.

Enraged, Long Xiaojun kicked Lin Ge hard, but Lin Ge nimbly dodged it.

He then threw the oil can at Lingo, but it posed no threat to the cat. The oil can grazed Lingo's body and fell into the chimney, accompanied by Long Xiaojun's furious roar and the screams and cheers of the crowd below.

Judging from this action, it seems this guy doesn't have a third lighter.

Lin Ge remained calm as he stared at Long Xiaojun.

He didn't know if he had a chance to avoid the stun grenade, nor whether Nie Guoqiang could understand his thoughts. But in any case, since he had already come this far, he absolutely couldn't let it fizzle out; he had to do it perfectly.

"I will kill you!"

Long Xiaojun swung another empty oil can and threw it forcefully at Lin Ge, his eyes already bloodshot.

At that moment, he was filled with anger and regret, and even more so with despair. The thought that all his preparations and hopes had been completely destroyed by a cat made Long Xiaojun want to kill every cat in the world.

He couldn't understand why this was happening!
Why would a cat appear like a ghost on a chimney over 100 meters high?
Where did it come from?

Why the hell did they attack me?
What kind of cat stays so still and silent like a ghost?
Is this really a cat?
Do not!
That guy is a beast!

Long Xiaojun knew very well that he was finished, and that he might as well commit suicide at this moment. Without the threat to the police, he was stuck in a place with no ground to his name, like a turtle in a jar, with only a hopeless dead end left.

The best course of action now is to close your eyes and jump again.

Once you're dead, it's all over, and you don't have to think about anything anymore.

but……

Glancing down at the chimney, the height of over a hundred meters seemed like an insurmountable chasm. The howling wind around him suddenly intensified; at this moment, let alone jumping, even leaning slightly outwards made his legs feel weak.

Long Xiaojun plopped down on the bridge frame, too afraid to move.

Just a minute ago, he was arrogantly sticking half his body out and arguing with the police, even threatening the hostages below without any scruples. He was incredibly cocky from beginning to end.

But when all means were exhausted, it seemed that even courage and boldness fell with the lighter, leaving only deep despair and cowardice.

"No! I still have so much stuff! It can still threaten the hostages! I'll smash that bastard to death!"

Seeing the remaining oil jugs out of the corner of his eye, Long Xiaojun quickly went to get them.

'Snapped! '

A dirty cat's paw landed on the oil can, arriving late but arriving first.

To Long Xiaojun's astonishment, the seemingly slender and weak little paws gently pushed the oil can inward along its edge, and the oil can, weighing dozens of kilograms, was involuntarily slapped into the chimney hole.

Long Xiaojun was stunned.

After finishing this task, Lin Ge acted as if nothing had happened, still quietly squatting there, staring at Long Xiaojun.

Lingo knew one thing very well.

Stun grenades are not necessary.

As long as he can control Long Xiaojun's threat, Nie Guoqiang will definitely not let him down. He will definitely tell others that compared to the potentially dangerous self-destructing drones, the 100% accident-free cat is far more trustworthy.

And this is also the safest way for Lin Ge to save his life.

Long Xiaojun is no match for them. If they didn't want to spare his life, pushing him down would have been an easy task.

Lingo raised his right claw, revealing his sharp claws and teeth.

Just then, a commotion arose below the chimney.

With a solution seemingly in place, the police below began to move. Even Yang Hao, hanging in mid-air, roared and desperately began to climb upwards. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a demon.
