Chapter 246: Catch The Bad Guy
“Feng family? Which Feng family?” the man asked subconsciously.
“In Shangjing, which other Feng family would be qualified to know people from the Xie family?” Zhou Baiyu’s eyebrows rose slightly, looking at him like he was an idiot.
“This…” The man looked troubled: “If it’s that Feng family, I can’t make a move, boss.”
“Moreover, the Feng family covers the sky with one hand in Shangjing. I’m afraid that by then…”
“With me helping you, what are you afraid of? I’ve already had my nephew get familiar with her. Next time he takes her out to play, you find an opportunity to make your move, and I’ll cover for you.”
Zhou Baiyu was especially disdainful: “The mere Feng family, look how scared you are.”
“Once our Zhou family completes our great undertaking, the Feng family… will be nothing more than an ant.”
The man listened and gradually became confident: “Alright, boss, I guarantee to complete the task. After I catch her, should I bring her here too?”
Zhou Baiyu: “What else? To your home? Idiot.”
Even after being scolded, the man remained cheeky and smiling: “Hey, how could I be as wise as you, boss? But… it’s just…”
He rubbed his fingers together: “I need to hire a few hands for this, this… might not be enough.”
“Got it. After my surgery is done, I’ll transfer fifty thousand to your account.” Zhou Baiyu said lightly and walked toward the operating room he had mentioned.
The man wiped off his nosebleed, excitedly took out his mobile phone, and walked toward another room while making a call: “Sister-in-law, I have a job here…”
At the same time, Nan Yuanman and the other two followed Tuan Tuan into this basement hidden under the swimming pool.
Feng Jingcheng had originally prepared himself for a narrow, dirty, smelly place below, with a handkerchief ready to cover his nose, but the basement under the swimming pool was unexpectedly clean.
And unexpectedly large, with an area of over three hundred square meters.
The interior was decorated very much like a laboratory. In view was a transparent glass door with several large words posted on it: “Universal Animal Hospital?”
Feng Jingcheng: “?”
“This kid has started an animal hospital?”
Tuan Tuan stood at the doorway without going in. It turned its head to Nan Yuanman and said: “Meow came here secretly with him before. Meow hasn’t been to other places. Human, you have to be careful.”
Nan Yuanman nodded: “Don’t worry, we’ll be careful. You go inside here and wait. Don’t get caught in the crossfire when we fight later.”
With that, Nan Yuanman took out a wooden puppet and beckoned to Tuan Tuan.
Tuan Tuan took a step back and refused her: “Meow won’t go in. Meow wants to stay by Mother’s side to protect Mother.”
After saying that, it jumped and leaped onto Xie Shuyao’s shoulder again.
Xie Shuyao felt a slight coolness on her cheek. She subconsciously tilted her face slightly and rubbed it with her cheek, her voice soft and hoarse: “Tuan Tuan, is that you?”
“It’s meow, Mother~” Tuan Tuan contentedly rubbed its cheek against hers too, tail held high, responding especially happily and loudly.
The coolness on her cheek grew heavier, and Xie Shuyao’s nose tingled as she nearly cried.
Nan Yuanman respected Tuan Tuan’s choice. She put the wooden puppet back into her small shoulder bag, looked at the place where ghost energy, grievance, and yin energy intertwined, took a deep breath, and cautiously stepped inside.
As soon as they approached, a mechanical female voice came from the door: “Please perform facial scan verification.”
“Facial scan?” Nan Yuanman looked at Feng Jingcheng in bewilderment: “Can’t Perfection’s face be scanned?”
Feng Jingcheng: “It should require Zhou Baiyu’s face to enter.”
“That’s simple, I’ll do it.” Xie Shuyao said, took out her mobile phone, pulled up the front-facing photo she had taken of Zhou Baiyu before, and tried scanning it at the scanning area.
In just a few seconds, the door clicked open, and the three hurried inside.
The first thing Feng Jingcheng and Xie Shuyao smelled was a very strong disinfectant smell.
The disinfectant made them cough repeatedly, but they suppressed it for fear of alerting Zhou Baiyu.
But in Nan Yuanman’s sense of smell, besides the disinfectant, there was an extremely heavy rotten stench and corpse odor, mixed with a bloody smell.
This complex smell made her unable to hold back and wrinkle her small nose. She took out a talisman and sniffed it hard to forcibly suppress the surging vomit in her throat.
At the same time, the little cat ghost and little dog ghost, restricted by the swimming pool, slowly emerged from the walls, the ground, and such places.
Their eyes were blood-red, vigilantly watching Nan Yuanman and the other two, as if assessing whether she was with Zhou Baiyu.
Nan Yuanman tentatively communicated with the nearest little dog soul: “Hello, I’m here to catch the big bad guy. Do you know where he is?”
The little dog soul looked Nan Yuanman up and down, appearing vigilant and alert on the surface, but its broken tail behind was wagging wildly.
After staring at Nan Yuanman for nearly a minute, it turned around and walked toward a room, looking back at her while walking, as if calling her to follow.
Nan Yuanman’s eyes lit up: “Sixth Brother, Xie Sister, follow me!”
While Nan Yuanman and the other two followed behind the little dog soul, they didn’t forget to observe the surroundings. They discovered that this basement was indeed set up like a pet hospital. These divided rooms included a consultation room, observation room, ultrasound room, imaging room, and even an operating room and hospitalization room.
The door to the hospitalization room was tightly closed, but the light above the operating room door was on, with the words “surgery in progress” flashing on the sign.
And the little dog soul stopped at the entrance to the operating room.
Its blood-red dog eyes were hatefully staring at the tightly closed operating room door.
Nan Yuanman’s heart sank: “The big bad guy is inside?”
The little dog soul silently nodded lightly.
Nan Yuanman’s small face tensed up. Without hesitation, she gripped the copper coin sword and was about to chop at the door when a male voice came from behind them: “Who are you?! When did you come in?! Who allowed you in!”
Feng Jingcheng and Xie Shuyao turned their heads in fright and saw a burly man in a black tank top carrying a bucket of blood-red water standing behind them, looking at them vigilantly.
“Damn! There’s actually someone else in this basement?!” Feng Jingcheng couldn’t hold back a curse. Before the burly man could react, he strode toward him: “Perfection! I’ll hold him off. You and Xie Sister take out that big bad guy!”
As soon as the words fell, Feng Jingcheng kicked flying the bucket from the burly man’s hand and pounced on him, grappling with the burly man.
Nan Yuanman unhesitatingly slashed the copper coin sword fiercely at the door.
At that moment, in the operating room, Zhou Baiyu held a bloody knife and slowly approached the calico cat hiding in the corner, covered in blood-soaked fur, hind legs severed at the root, one eye stabbed with a pen, growling lowly at him.
Just as his knife was about to fall on the calico cat, banging sounds came from the door.
The excited and manic expression on Zhou Baiyu’s face faded slightly. He clicked his tongue in displeasure: “Damn it, didn’t I tell him not to disturb me during surgery unless it’s something big? I don’t have much time…”
Zhou Baiyu walked to the door gripping the knife, twisted the doorknob, and opened the door: “You’d better have something important…!”
Before he finished speaking, he saw the copper coin sword slashing straight at him.
Zhou Baiyu: “!!!”
Zhou Baiyu dodged to the side in a sorry state, but the clothes on his body were still torn by the copper coin sword.
His face darkened, and he angrily looked up. When he saw Nan Yuanman holding the copper coin sword, and Xie Shuyao standing beside her with a face full of shock and astonishment, his expression froze.
