"Sister Cat, Mother Cat... Ah no, Granny Cat. For the sake of our friendship, please help me!"
Zong Yue's pleading voice was transmitted through electromagnetic waves, passing through thousands of miles of ocean waves to reach Cat Eyes' ears. This guy, who had always been thick-skinned, had completely thrown his face into the mud just to beg for an opportunity.
"I know this is a disgrace. I know this isn't right. I know I'm not qualified, but I'm the only member in Xia City. What can I do when this disgrace falls on my head!?"
Zong Yue repeated these words over and over again, "My request isn't high. I just hope that Mr. Luo can give me a clear answer regarding the invitation. Of course, if I am fortunate enough to travel together with him, then it would be the fortune of eight generations of my ancestors..."
"How will your father react when he hears this?"
"Even if he lashes me a hundred times, he can't take the life of his own son!"
"The Jade Review Conference can take your life? Aren't you a big shot who can talk to Wang Yu? "
"Sister Cat. Sister Cat. Just treat my words as farts. Others may not know what kind of moral character I am, but I can't hide it from you! Yes, they can't take my life, but they can hold down my loans. I'll jump into the sea if the funds for my investments run out! "
"Hehe, that's a pretty good way to die."
Cat Eyes had just walked into the lobby of the hotel. She saw Tang Yi already sitting in the corner of the sofa and greeted her. Tang Yi responded with a smile and immediately got up to greet her.
"Sister Cat!" Zong Yue's mournful wails became even more miserable.
Cat Eyes was disinclined to speak with him any further, "Where are you?"
"Acumen College. It's right here at Gear on the north coast! Sister Cat, I knew you would help me. Thank you! Thank you! As long as Mr. Luo is willing... "
"You see that little forest behind Gear? Half a year ago, a fellow named Tank died there. His internal organs ruptured and his flesh turned to mush."
"Huh?"
"If this isn't enough, there's another fellow named Jin Tong. He's in the sea outside Xia City. Not even his bones remain. If you jump down there, you might be able to find him as a companion. "
"Sister Mao, don't scare me!"
"Hehe, I'm just reminding you that your father can whip you, the Jade Inspection Association can take your loan, and that person can take your life if he's in a bad mood! For the sake of our friendship, I'll give these words to you for free. You're welcome. "
Cat Eyes hung up the phone. She frowned slightly. Actually, she was a bit baffled. That shameless bastard Zong Gong was nowhere to be found. This proved that Luo Nan really wasn't at Gear on the north bank. That guy had been hiding for almost a week. Where did he go? It wasn't to the extent of completely cutting off contact with the outside world. Could it be that he ran to another city like a few days ago? Then the most likely place for him to go now should be …
At this moment, Tang Yi walked to her side and laughed in spite of herself. "Overbearing."
"Yes." Cat Eyes understood that Tang Yi wasn't referring to her attitude. Instead, she was referring to the powerful power that the Jade Review Association represented.
That group of people had always been arrogant and proficient in trickery. They loved to scheme against people's hearts. Right now, Zong Gong, a minor character with a complicated and subtle relationship, was thrown out in order to provoke Luo Nan. It would be best to provoke Luo Nan into doing something. Then, they would suppress Luo Nan and grind down his spirit.
This was an overt plot that was thrown right in Luo Nan's face. Clearly, this group of people were confident that they had Luo Nan's life in their grasp. They were too lazy to conceal anything … … Of course, this was also part of the effect of the plot.
"Luo Nan pretended not to see. Temporarily avoiding them was the right thing to do."
"He … … avoided them?"
"Oh, that's right. You can't hold too much hope."
Tang Yi laughed involuntarily. She reached out to grab Cat Eyes by the shoulder and walked out of the hotel. "Let's go. I'll pay for all of today's expenses. Treat it as thanks in place of Mo Ya."
Today was the third day after arriving in Ban City. Early in the morning, Mo Ya, Wild Jujube, and Gao De went to the cultural center across the street to rehearse. She was an intelligent woman. She had interacted with Cat Eyes and the others many times during her five days on the cruise. She had already understood her own circumstances. She had just properly relaxed on the cruise. After arriving in Ban City, she had lived in seclusion. Every day, she would only travel between the hotel and the cultural center. This gave the security personnel quite a bit of convenience.
As for Cat Eyes and Tang Yi, their mission today was to patrol the surrounding environment, formulate a revised route of retreat, and so on.
The two were like best friends going shopping side by side. Tang Yi was taller than Cat Eyes by an entire head. She was used to wearing short hunting clothes, long pants, and brown boots. Her long legs were a complete mess of handsomeness. Even though she was younger than Cat Eyes by six or seven years, her words and actions were calm and unruffled. It was hard to tell her exact age. Cat Eyes was out in the field. Her refreshing attire had the effect of reducing her age. The two walked side by side on the street. It was hard to tell who was the older sister and who was the younger sister.
In any case, they were both pleasing to the eye.
Cat Eyes really wasn't used to having her shoulders held by others, but Tang Yi was quite familiar with it. She chuckled and said, "If it weren't for that group of people, Mo Ya would be by my side in an ideal situation."
"You put your arms around Mo Ya's shoulders too?"
"It's fine if we just hold hands."
"...... Your relationship with her is pretty good."
"Yeah. We've gotten to know each other ever since Mo Ya came to Acumen College. I was muddle-headed for many years before that. It's only in recent years that I've been happier. Mo Ya is a very free and easy person. Only in this way can she live in the rock underground and in our complicated circle. She's not aloof and pretentious, and she doesn't go with the flow. She's still someone that people can't help but like. "
Cat Eyes wanted to ask if Tang Yi had the guts to tell Luo Nan about the intimate relationship between the two of them.
Basically, Cat Eyes was the type of person who respected privacy. Her impression of Tang Yi was pretty good. However, the relationship between her and Luo Nan was extraordinary. Even if she wanted to keep it a secret, sometimes her body and mind were not in control of themselves. A myriad of thoughts ultimately turned into a single sentence.
"You're also quite free and easy …."
"Yeah. Let's go and welcome the future like this." Tang Yi laughed heartily. Though she did not drink, she had the wilful and unrestrained nature of being drunk. She was exceptionally eye-catching on the streets of Ban City.
Cat Eyes rolled her eyes and Tang Yi suddenly turned her head from the other side. Cat Eyes was a hair too late to react. She turned her gaze as well. At the end of her line of sight was the cultural center where Mo Ya resided. It wasn't large in scale, and it wasn't a standalone building. It just stood at the corner of the street. It had the intention of being quiet amidst the hustle and bustle. It was very unremarkable.
However, there was a familiar figure in a small open-air tea house at the corner of the street. He raised a cup at them with a smile. "Oh, you've met an old friend in a foreign land. Don't you want to drink a cup or two?"
Cat Eyes looked at the person in the tea house. His face was dark, and he wore a long khaki windbreaker. He wore a white t-shirt and a pair of ankle boots. He sat there like a big star, radiating light in all directions. But for some unknown reason, she could see the effect of a plain and cold white coat when she looked at his attire.
