Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 89 Meeting Again
what's the situation?
Why are these two carrying a suitcase? Did they get their hands on something, or are they going to give the suitcase to someone in this building?

What's in that suitcase?
Who is the object?

Lin Ge's heart skipped a beat.

Without lingering in the pine tree, Lin Ge lightly jumped down. He cushioned his fall with the blown needles, then bypassed the security booth from the side, stealthily running ahead of the two to the vicinity of Building 13.

A neighborhood without greenery is truly awful. The green-painted cement roads and the exterior paint on the lower-rise walls couldn't alleviate Lin Ge's annoyance. The only thing that could be called green space in the entire neighborhood was a small plaza every few buildings. Even within that plaza, aside from a few trees, most of the plants were just boxed plants. This kind of self-deceptive approach seems to be increasingly common lately, and Lin Ge couldn't figure out if this was the price of increasingly prosperous urban development.

The greenery has decreased, but cameras are everywhere, making it very difficult for Lin Ge to hide.

Fortunately, the security guards seemed to be slacking off today. Even when Lin Ge arrived at the entrance of Building 13 and hid behind the trash can, he was not discovered by the security guards, and no one came to chase him away.

The trash can didn't smell good, but he was relieved to see that the two men hadn't gone astray and were walking straight towards him.

"Brother Jie, is that guy really reliable?"

"Whatever, this is the last time anyway. I've made quite a bit of money these past few days, so even if I don't get anything out of it today, consider it after-sales service."

"That's true, this money is easy to earn."

Two men walked past Lingo, talking amongst themselves.

They pressed the call button on the door, and the door opened quickly. The two went inside, and the door closed again.

The easily accessible glass door was in the way, so Lin Ge decided to wait outside. Having experienced the danger of being cornered in the stairwell by Zhu Wentao last time, he was determined not to blindly rush in this time; climbing over thirty floors would be a nightmare.

As time passed, Lin Ge gradually became impatient.

The main problem was that the trash can really smelled bad. Luckily, the wind was strong today and blew away a lot of the stench, otherwise he really couldn't have stayed there for a second longer.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long.

About half an hour later, two men came into Lingo's view. The boxes they were carrying were gone, and they walked with apparent ease.

"So, the purpose of your visit is indeed to deliver a box to someone?"

Lin Ge pondered in his heart.

Suddenly, as the two passed by once again, Lin Ge smelled that puzzling scent again. It still felt somewhat familiar, and this time, because of the close proximity, the scent was very clear.

Who is it?
Why ask someone else to bring things for you? These days, it's inconvenient to buy anything without someone delivering it to you?
Is it something you're ashamed to show?
Or... are they unwilling to reveal even the slightest bit of their identity information?

Lin Ge hesitated, considering whether to continue following the two swindlers or try to find out who this strange person who felt familiar was.
But soon, he no longer needed to worry about it.

Less than five minutes after the two swindlers left, when their backs could still be seen in the distance, the building door opened again. A man wearing a hat, head down, and an expensive trench coat walked out, pulling a suitcase.

this person……

Lin Ge's eyes narrowed!
So familiar!

Past memories flooded his mind, and Lin Ge instantly remembered.

Even though he was completely disguised, even though he was wearing sunglasses and a mask so his face couldn't be seen, even though his height had changed slightly, Lin Ge still recognized him at a glance.

Who else could this guy be but Zhao Liang?
The man wanted by the police for suspected drug trafficking and gambling, the man who almost killed him—he actually didn't flee Zhang City! He actually stayed hidden in the city, less than 500 meters from Zhang Yong's house!

It’s dark under the lamp!

It’s dark under the lamp!

The drug trafficking organization had been almost completely dismantled, with only a few members remaining on the run. But who could have imagined that the guy Lin Ge thought had vanished was actually living right under his nose all along; he had never left!

Recalling what happened that day, recalling that moment when he was on the verge of death, a strong murderous intent flashed in Lingo's eyes.

"Ok?"

Zhao Liang, who was fully disguised, sensed something was amiss.

He stopped and looked around, but couldn't find anything wrong.

The cats around the neighborhood are completely exposed, and anyone with a police officer or community member nearby can spot them in advance. The reason for choosing this location is precisely because of this advantage of being able to prepare in advance.

However, nothing has happened in so many days. It's unlikely that something unexpected would happen just as I was about to leave Zhang City. I heard that all the police in the city are tied up with another case, and no one should be available right now.

Thinking about what had happened these past few days, a flash of malice crossed Zhao Liang's eyes. It was all that damned cat's fault!
It's all those damn cops' fault!

They came here to expand their market, and they were planning to make a big splash! How did their business end up being ruined so quickly after they just opened?

Several of his accomplices were arrested, and all his henchmen were wiped out. If he hadn't been cautious by nature and hadn't acquired such a house beforehand, he might have been rounded up by the police while on the run.

And now...

Finally, the patient wait paid off; the police finally shifted their focus. Now is the best time to leave Zhangzhou City and safely cross the border! If we wait any longer and the police have more free time, they might start sniffing around like hyenas again.

Zhao Liang took a deep breath.

Although he was annoyed and regretful, he was prepared for these situations.

The suitcase, specially brought from another safe house, contained all my documents and travel essentials. As long as I avoid fingerprint recognition, my new identity will allow me to travel freely throughout the country. Whether traveling north or to Hong Kong, I'll have complete freedom.

A cold smile peeked out from behind his mask as Zhao Liang walked forward. At the intersection, outside a food street, he hailed a private car.

Legitimate taxis have cameras, and ride-hailing services have online verification and route tracking. Only these private car owners who come here to earn some extra money leave no trace in their cars, making them the safest option as the police have difficulty coordinating a search.

"Boss, it's a flat price of thirty yuan! The train station is so far away, it would be a loss to drive back empty."

The private car owner made an exorbitant demand, and Zhao Liang did not haggle.

He had a feeling that someone was behind him the whole time, but he couldn't find anything despite repeatedly turning around. Zhao Liang didn't think about cats and dogs; he was a little nervous and sweating, unlike his previous decisiveness.

Criminals, under the scorching sun, will ultimately only feel fear and unease.

Zhao Liang just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

The black taxi sped away, and only then did Lin Ge emerge from behind the refrigerator at the entrance of the nearby supermarket.

I have to admit, Zhao Liang is quite capable.

Lin Ge has followed many people over the years, but Zhao Liang is the only one who reacts to his gaze and searches not only the normal places but also the treetops and bushes.

But looking at him now, he didn't seem to have the same oppressive feeling as when they met for the second time. Back then, there was really no way to escape, but now he didn't seem threatening at all.

Has it been because I've become stronger?

Or is it because Zhao Liang has become a pariah?

Lin Ge was unaware that he had only crouched down in front of the supermarket to avoid the howling wind for a moment, and then pressed the button on the nameplate of the collar around his neck.

A beeping sound came from behind the nameplate; this thing really could make phone calls.

"Hey?"

Soon Zhang Yong's voice rang out, sounding slightly tired, with the background noise coming from the noisy police station lobby.

A young voice was shouting on the other end, whether it was because he was really wronged or just using his loud voice to embolden himself, it was hard to tell.

"Mimi?"

After a long silence, Zhang Yong picked up his phone and checked the number. It was the correct number; it was a secondary number that Yang Xiaotong had registered for their business.

"Ow!"

Lin Ge's expression was somewhat unpleasant; indeed, the inability to communicate was a very troublesome problem.

Even if he had a phone call, how could he explain things clearly to Zhang Yong?

Lin Ge didn't know which train Zhao Liang was taking, or even if he was really going to take the train. But in any case, the sooner they acted, the less likely Zhao Liang was to escape.

Zhang Yong remained silent for a while before tentatively speaking.

"Mimi, is there an emergency? If there is, meow once. If it's an urgent matter, meow twice. If you just want to chat with me, meow once?"

"What the hell!"

Lin Ge let out two howls and then hung up the phone.
