Chapter 5: “who Exactly Are You?”
“So scary!”
“How could that male owner harm his own kind!”
“…”
The voice was exceptionally clear, and Jiang Yuan’s gaze locked directly onto Nini’s back view.
The male owner harmed his own kind?
During dinner, Nini had been talking to herself, clearly having been quite frightened during this period.
Old Mrs. Fu heard the meowing and said regretfully, “If only I could understand what Nini is saying.”
After eating, Jiang Yuan came to Nini’s side.
The approach of a stranger made the little one flinch.
“Nini,” Jiang Yuan said softly, “who is this male owner you’re talking about?”
Nini froze, turned her head, and looked at her with wide, astonished golden cat eyes.
This person could actually understand cats speaking?
Jiang Yuan extended a finger and tapped its nose.
Nini came back to her senses and said anxiously, “It’s where they brought the wrong cat! It was so scary, wuwuwu!”
“Don’t be afraid,” Jiang Yuan held her in her arms and asked softly, “What happened? Can you tell me slowly?”
Nini looked up at her, “That home was really too terrifying! The male owner went mad every day and beat the female owner!”
“Whenever the female owner spoke, the male owner would hit her and even use a knife to cut the female owner!”
“The female owner was often beaten until she was covered in blood, wuwuwu, it scared the cat to death!”
Nini had been there for half a month and was almost scared into shutting down.
Several times, the male owner smashed things and they hit her, it hurt so much!
Old Mrs. Fu saw Jiang Yuan holding Nini and said in surprise, “Nini is actually willing to be held by Xiao Yuan. Could she know you’re her benefactor?”
Since Nini came home, she wouldn’t let anyone hold her, which had worried people greatly.
“Perhaps I just have a way with animals,” Jiang Yuan said, and the system’s voice sounded in her mind.
【System009: Congratulations Miss Jiang on completing the mission. Reward obtained: Rat Dictionary and one million cash. 】
【System009: New mission: Rescue. Success reward: Bear cub dictionary. Failure penalty: Lightning strike. 】
Jiang Yuan felt that System009’s notifications were becoming more and more casual.
Fortunately, she was smart and had strong comprehension skills.
Jiang Yuan chatted with Old Mrs. Fu and successfully obtained the address of the family who had brought Nini home by mistake.
The night was dark, and the cold wind was bone-chilling.
Jiang Yuan, wearing a black down jacket, stood by the flower bed of Building 6, looking up slightly at the window on the fourth floor.
That was the home of the princess blue cat.
At this very moment, the princess blue cat was cowering under the sofa, trembling.
Was the stupid woman’s boyfriend a demon! He’d cut people with a knife for no reason!
Zhang Ye got up from the sofa, startling the princess blue cat, which inwardly thought, “This is bad, the stupid woman is going to suffer again!”
Zhang Ye picked up the blood-stained utility knife from the coffee table and suddenly pushed open the bedroom door.
The woman on the bed, covered in wounds, trembled, her hair disheveled and scattered across her bruised face, her eyes filled with terror.
She wanted to hide, but her wrists were cuffed to the bedside, so she could only curl up uneasily.
“Don’t come over…” Jiang Jingyi pleaded with a crying tone.
Zhang Ye grabbed her hair and said sinisterly, “Bitch! You forced me to do all this!”
He pushed forward the sharp tip of the utility knife, his expression ferocious.
Outside the window, a magpie flapped its wings, looking at the scene through a small gap in the curtains.
Jiang Yuan bought a cup of hot coffee from the convenience store and returned, carrying a bag of grains in the other hand.
The magpie flew in front of her, “Ahhh, I’m so scared.”
Jiang Yuan glanced sideways at the bird that had landed on her shoulder, “What did you see?”
She didn’t dare to knock on the door rashly, so she could only ask the magpie for help.
“That short-haired one is so terrifying,” the magpie chirped, “He cut off the long-haired one’s fingers with a knife, and so much blood flowed! And he wouldn’t let the long-haired one cry out!”
Jiang Yuan’s heart tightened, and her scalp tingled.
The princess blue cat came to the bedroom door. Seeing its owner being bullied, its cat eyes widened, its back arched, and its tail stood straight up.
It let out a meow and pounced to bite Zhang Ye’s hand, but the man cruelly flung it away, its small body hitting the cold glass window.
But it didn’t give up and pounced again to bite him.
Jiang Yuan, standing far below, saw the shadow of the blue cat hitting the glass window. Her brow furrowed, and she took out her phone to call the police.
The magpie returned to her side, “I heard the short-haired one say, ‘I’ll kill you right now.'”
“How is the cat?” Jiang Yuan asked anxiously.
Magpie: “The quadruped isn’t moving.”
Jiang Yuan gritted her teeth and quickly walked into Building 6.
At the door of 403, Jiang Yuan pressed the doorbell, her heart beating uncontrollably.
Half a minute passed, and she pressed the doorbell again.
Finally, there was movement from inside, “Who is it?”
Zhang Ye lowered his sinister expression, opened the door, and revealed a somewhat reserved smile, “Hello, may I ask what’s the matter?”
Jiang Yuan scrutinized him, sneering in her heart.
He’s really good at acting.
Who says I can’t act?
She raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear and said with a smile, “Hello, I live upstairs. I heard you also have a cat, is that right?”
“Yes,” Zhang Ye nodded, “Did we cause you trouble?”
“No, no,” Jiang Yuan quickly waved her hands and explained, “Actually, I recently got a cat and wanted to learn how to raise cats. I was wondering if it would be convenient?”
Zhang Ye’s gaze quietly scanned her from head to toe.
Her appearance and figure were both top-notch.
He raised his hand and adjusted his glasses frame, “It’s convenient.”
Jiang Yuan entered the living room and glanced at the closed room door to her left.
“My surname is Zhang. What should I call you, Miss?” Zhang Ye poured her a glass of water.
Jiang Yuan: “My surname is Lan.”
“Miss Lan,” Zhang Ye sat down beside her, “What kind of cat do you have?”
Jiang Yuan: “I have a Ragdoll Cat. Mr. Zhang, isn’t your furball here?”
“He’s playing in the room.”
“Can I see him?”
Zhang Ye said gently, “I’ll go get him.”
The princess blue cat felt pain all over its body from falling several times, even its breathing hurt.
When Zhang Ye carried it out, it thought it was its turn to suffer. However, as soon as it came out of the bedroom, it smelled a familiar scent.
“Xiangxiang Baby!”
Zhang Ye, holding the princess blue cat, sat closer to Jiang Yuan, “Miss Lan, this is my furball.”
The princess blue cat was extremely weak and struggled to open its eyes to look at Jiang Yuan, desperate.
“Xiangxiang Baby, why are you here!”
“Ahhh, did this demon capture you!”
“Xiangxiang Baby, escape quickly!”
Jiang Yuan frowned and pretended to be confused, “Is it not feeling well?”
Zhang Ye shook his head and said with a smile, “He’s sleepy, very lazy, and only knows how to sleep all day.”
“Can I hold him?”
“Of course.”
Jiang Yuan held the princess blue cat and felt a pang of sadness thinking about how lively it had been a few days ago.
Its meows grew weaker, “You escape quickly, the stupid woman is being terribly tortured by this demon, but the cat can’t save her.”
“Although the stupid woman is very stupid! She’s very good to the cat!”
“If possible, please find many, many people to save the stupid woman…”
Zhang Ye was familiar with the princess blue cat’s temperament; it was usually very aloof to strangers.
But its attitude towards Jiang Yuan was very unusual.
Zhang Ye’s eyes under his glasses showed a sinister glint, “Who exactly are you?”
