Did you fall off your horse today?

236.

There was too much noise in the first half of the night, and Cao Tukang slept very restlessly in the second half of the night. In his dream, he kept falling into various pits. At the bottom of the pit, Pei Kai was holding a knife and fork. Aristocrats preparing to dine.

Before he fell to the ground, Master Meow jumped out and breathed fiercely at him.

Cao Tukang didn't know why, so he hid for a while, and suddenly woke up from the dream.

"Don't kill me." Pei Kai's voice came from next to his ear.

Master Meow: "Hiss—"

The plastic bag rang a few times, Pei Kai: "Do you want it?"

Master Meow fell silent.

Cao Tukang opened his eyes quietly, and saw Pei Kai sitting cross-legged in front of the cage, holding Master Meow's favorite dried fish in his hand, seducing it but refusing to eat it.

"Make a deal." Pei Kai took out a bunch of snacks from a plastic bag, "Whatever he asks you to do in the future, you must get my consent before you agree."

Master Meow tilted his head, not understanding.

Pei Kai pointed at Cao Tukang: "He is your master."

Master Meow nodded.

Pei Kai pointed to himself again: "Then I am your master's master."

Master Meow: "..."

Pei Jian concluded: "So from now on, you both have to obey my orders, and you are forbidden to act in private. If he wants to do anything strange, you must first report to me."

Master Meow showed his fangs angrily and refused to agree.

237.

Cao Tukang secretly smiled triumphantly under the quilt.

How can I allow you to provoke my relationship with my cat.

Pei Kai threw the snacks back into the plastic bag without hesitation, picked them up and left: "Oh, then you won't have any dried fish to eat from now on. If you want to eat fish, go out and catch it yourself."

Before he finished speaking, a fluffy paw stretched out from his feet, carefully hooking his trousers.

"What?" Pei Kai asked condescendingly.

Master Meow glanced at the plastic bag, then at Cao Tukang who was sleeping on the bed, and finally at Pei Kai, stretching out a paw.

Pei Ke shook his paw with it: "Deal."

238.

Cao Tukang was dumbfounded.

Master!Our friendship for many years is not as good as a bag of dried fish, isn't it!

239.

No, no, I understand, you must be flattering and fooling Pei Kai on purpose, right?

Yes, it must be so, Cao Tukang thought firmly.

Pei Kai opened the cage and let Master Meow out. Master Meow rubbed his legs twice, then jumped onto Cao Tukang's bed, patted him twice with his paw, and handed out his signature: Boss, he is already awake. I'm pretending to sleep.

Cao Tukang: "..."

Pei Kai rubbed his chin: This cat is really useful.

240.

There are several research institutes in S City, which were not clearly stated in the information, so the team going to the research institute set off early, planning to search all possible places before dawn.

The rest of the contract team stayed in the hotel, Yan Xu was catching up on sleep in the room, Cao Tukang was sitting in the lobby reading a book, Pei Kai was looking at Cao Tukang with his legs crossed, and Master Meow was squatting on his shoulders.

Cao Tukang was so stressed that he couldn't read a single word. He read the preface for half an hour, but couldn't figure out whether it was a professional book or a literary book.

Pei Kai leaned on the armrest of the sofa chair with one hand and suggested, "You should turn the page."

Cao Tukang turned a page mechanically.

Five minutes later, Pei Kai said again: "It's time to turn the page."

Cao Tukang turned the page again.

Pei Kai leaned over and took the book out of his hand.

"This is a mystery novel. The murderer is the victim's sister, who put poison on the victim's cat."

Cao Tukang said angrily, "Spoilers are prohibited."

The book was thrown aside, Pei Kai said, "You have read this book before."

Cao Tukang glanced at the title of the book, only to realize that he had indeed read it.

"how do you know?"

Pei Kai touched Master Meow: "Your cat said it."

The author has something to say: Thank you SAMSXY and Grape Lei!
