“But do you know where she put the cat?” Lei Qingyi asked uncertainly. He still believed that it was easier asking Fang Zhu. However, that was only possible if they could ask anything out of her. If she refused to say anything, they couldn’t force a confession out of her too. He was better at this but they couldn’t do that. Besides the cat, Fang Zhu and Lu Yi had not fallen out yet and he couldn’t do anything too.
Lu Yi stopped as he narrowed his eyes. The calmness on his face was a little disconcerting.
“Threw away.” After a long time, he opened his lips and spat out these 2 words.
Indeed, the cat has been thrown away. Fang Zhu was allergic to cats and would most definitely not keep it.
The question was where did she throw it away? Sea City was huge and where would a cat go? Cats are not dogs and they cannot find their home. Even if it was a dog, if it had been discarded far away, it cannot find its way back.
“Let’s split up and look for it.” Lei Qingyi tapped his forehead, “I will look for people.”
He took out his phone and was about to get some people to help him find. At that moment, Lu Yi had already driven out. The wind blew against his face and it left a raw pain on it. It was a monstrosity.
Lei Qingyi had found a few people and he described the situation to them. It was always better to have more people with each person looking somewhere. Lu Yi actually had better connections than him and if he were to open his mouth, it wouldn’t be surprising if everyone in Sea City helped him find the cat. But this wasn’t a person, it was a cat. Attorney Lu’s identity might be up there, his name carried certain weight and left people afraid. But at the same time, he had to proceed cautiously.
He shouldered the honor but another sense of responsibility too.
Responsibility and honor came together.
Lu Yi drove his car along the streets looking. He only hoped that he would be able to find it. Even though they didn’t spend a long time together, it had only been three months since Yan Huan passed itto him.
However in those three months, the cat had ate with him, slept with him and stayed by his side obediently while he worked at night without making a scene. Sometimes, it would cheekily step on his documents. However, when it realized it, it would look up with its watery eyes. How could anyone reprimand it after that?
He hadn’t slept in his own bed for a long time and usually when Lu Yi was sleeping, it would sleep at his feet but would definitely not go into the blanket.
Now that the little guy was gone, he couldn’t take it. The house had always been quiet, and he didn’t love talking. Due to his work, there couldn’t possibly be a lot of guests in his house. Only the little guy had kept him company. But now, it was no longer around. He stopped his car and placed his head on the steering wheel. This wasn’t the main problem now.
He had no idea how to answer to Yan Huan. Thinking back to that girl who had saved his life a few times, he felt his headache. He had lost her cat.
He could tell that Yan Huan liked this cat a lot. When it first came to his house, it wasn’t afraid of manythings. Its fur had been glowing with a shine and it was fed properly. However, the cat is no longer around.
He started his car again and started driving around the city.
At this moment, it started to snow. There were already places that snow had gathered and before long, the entire city would be coated white again.
They started looking in the morning and he had no idea where he had gone to but there were no signs of it. Or rather, it seemed like Fang Zhu had thrown it into the river.
If that was the case, he would want to find its body too. But he couldn’t find anything.
It was about to turn dark and the winter in Sea City was much colder than they had anticipated. If there weren’t the heater, all of them would probably freeze to death.
The cat wasn’t too old, slightly older than half a year old. Cats are nimble and they do not die easily. But it was still a kitten and one of its legs was probably injured.
Lu Yi opened the car door and stepped out. He stood outside and felt the cold wind bellowing, cutting into his skin at times. However, he didn’t move a muscle. He had no idea when but a few snowflakes landed in front of him, bringing with it a chill.
“Meow…”
Suddenly, there came the meowing of a cat. Lu Yi’s eyes shone.
He turned around and scanned his surroundings with his eyes. There was only that one sound.
“Little Bean, is that you, Little Bean?”
He felt that it was its meowing. His meow was unique and it was slightly different from other cats.
However, it was only that one sound and it was gone.
He continued standing there, perhaps waiting.
“Meow…” again.
Suddenly, Lu Yi looked down and realized there was a kitten beside his feet. There was a red lace tied around its neck.
“Meow…” The kitten went forward again as it limped; it rubbed its head against its owner’s feet.
Lu Yi extended his hand and quickly grabbed the little fellow. He then carefully inspected its front legs but a light touch quickly left the little fellow shuddering.
He sat in his car and placed it on the seat beside him. He then called Lei Qingyi.
“Qingyi, stop looking. I have found it.”
Not long later, Lu Yi carried the cat to a vet clinic.
The vet touched the cat’s front leg.
“He has fractured his leg.”
“If it is left in a cast for a month, it should grow back. Kittens are good at recovering from injuries.” The vet gave the kitten a jab of anesthesia and it quickly fell asleep. He set the bone and made sure its front leg was set tight and firmly. Even if the cat was mischievous, it would only be able to drag that leg and wouldn’t be able to jump around ferociously.
Lu Yi rubbed little bean’s head. It was still sleeping but its expression was a little scared.
When he carried it back home, it hadn’t woken up yet. But Lei Qingyi was in his house.
He really found it. Lei Qingyi stood up and carried the kitten from Lu Yi’s embrace.
“Tsk, it is so pitiful, it must have hurt right?”
He lightly touched little bean’s claw that had been set in cast. He then placed it on the sofa to let it continue sleeping.
“Alright, now that the cat has been found, what do we do?”
Lei Qingyi placed his arm behind his head. “What are you going to do with Fang Zhu? I advise you to cut off contact with that woman. Do you still dare to marry her like this?”
“Be careful she becomes a female praying mantis. After doing that with you, she will eat you up.”
