The onlookers made way for them in the middle, and the female reporter in the way seemed particularly isolated and embarrassed. After a little hesitation, she also stepped aside, letting Eddie and Zhang Zian enter the pet shop.
Except for Fina and Famous, the other elfins had never seen a dark-skinned person before, and they couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Eddie looked around the shop and moved his feet carefully, for fear of stepping on the kittens that slipped past his feet. "Wow! Mr. Zhang, your shop is so interesting. It's a heaven for all cat lovers! I think Ms. Ryan must not feel lonely being accompanied by so many cats! "
His eyes fell on Cathy's portrait, and he immediately stopped smiling. He walked over and placed the daisy in front of the portrait, folded his hands in front of him, and bowed his head to pray silently.
In the portrait, Cathy was surrounded by Abyssinian cats, sitting on the green lawn and smiling at the photographer. The bright yellow daisy blocked the lower half of the portrait, but it made her look like she was sitting in the flowers.
When the mountain flowers were in full bloom, she was smiling in the bushes.
The Abyssinian cats, who had been chasing and playing on the top of the shelves, seemed to feel something. They jumped down from the shelves, squatted or lay in front of the portrait, and stared at the face of their former owner, as if they were remembering her, and whimpered in their throats.
Eddie's eyelids moved slightly, and he glanced left and right in surprise. When he saw these seemingly intelligent cats, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart. At the same time, he was also glad that this was not the United States. Otherwise, if a devout priest saw this, he might think that these cats were possessed by some evil thing, and even try to exorcise them …
Because of his work, he knew one or two … very extreme priests. Even though the Vatican had explicitly prohibited exorcism, they still identified a woman as being possessed by a demon, and forcibly exorcised her, which caused a lot of trouble.
Zhang Zian knew what was going on. They were obviously ordered by Fina.
When others saw this scene, they were also in awe. They all took a deep breath and raised their phones to take pictures of the kittens remembering their owner.
The female reporter and her cameraman rubbed their eyes, unable to believe what they saw.
After Eddie's moment of silence, the Abyssinian cats returned to normal. They jumped onto the shelves and the cat tree and continued to play.
Zhang Zian walked in front of the female reporter and glanced at the reporter's work ID on her chest. "I thought about it, and it seems that I don't need to prove anything to you. If you suspect that I'm a donation fraud, then you can go and find evidence. But if you don't have evidence and slander me for donation fraud, then we'll have to meet in court."
The female reporter laughed dryly. "Mr. Zhang, you've misunderstood. I'm just asking out of curiosity. I don't have a predetermined position in my heart …"
"Don't you know that curiosity killed the cat?" Zhang Zian threw down a sentence and ignored her.
She was not angry. On the contrary, she was very excited because she got the first-hand exclusive news. The original draft of the report about Zhang Zian's donation fraud was changed to Zhang Zian's low-key support for charity, which attracted foreign friends to offer their chrysanthemums … Interspersed with pictures of kittens mourning their owners, it would definitely receive a lot of response.
Anyway, she just wanted to collect exclusive news that could attract attention. As for the positive report or the negative report, it didn't matter at all.
Zhang Zian didn't guess that she would change her mind. Even if he did, he wouldn't be surprised. That's how unscrupulous the media was.
In addition to paying tribute to the deceased Ms. Ryan, Eddie had another small purpose in coming to Binhai City.
"Mr. Zhang, I still don't understand. How did you disguise Ms. Ryan's voice? Do you have any … special skills? Or some high-tech equipment? " He asked curiously. "If I hadn't found out that Ms. Ryan had passed away, I would have been fooled by your voice."
Before Zhang Zian had time to speak, a gray shadow flapped its wings and quickly landed on his shoulder.
"Quack! Are you Eddie Lewis? Nice to meet you! I'm Kathryn Donna Ryan. Nice to meet you! "
Richard wouldn't let go of such an opportunity to be in the limelight. He imitated Cathy's voice and spoke in English.
Eddie's eyes almost popped out.
"My God! Has … has this parrot been … talking to me? "His head was buzzing, and he was stuttering.
Zhang Zian glared at Richard, meaning to say, "Will you die if you don't speak?"
Richard carelessly scratched the feathers on its chest with its beak. Its little black eyes rolled around, and it responded with its eyes, "I'll suffocate to death!"
In order to prevent Eddie from having a heart attack, he quickly explained, "It's just a part of it. Most of it was re-edited with Cathy's previous voice! I have a friend who is an expert in this area, and he helped me with it. "
"Oh, I see." Eddie finally reluctantly accepted this explanation. After all, even if a parrot could imitate human speech, according to common sense, it could at most be a daily conversation. His conversation with "Cathy" involved a lot of donation procedures. How could a parrot answer these questions so fluently?
If it was a re-edited recording, it would make sense. Some spy movies often had similar content.
He recalled that the conversation with "Cathy" was actually not complicated. If it was prepared in advance and played as needed, it could be done with the assistance of an expert.
Then, he thought of another question. "Mr. Zhang, why did you make a donation in the name of Ms. Ryan? I heard from Lawyer Adams that it was because she gave her cats to you in her will, so this is your repayment? "
"You can say that." Zhang Zian nodded. An Abyssinian cat walked by him, and he picked it up.
"There's an old saying in China …" Speaking of this, he unconsciously looked up at the ceiling, hoping that Sihwa didn't misunderstand his words. "There's an old saying in China — no work, no reward. Although Cathy gave these cats to me, I always thought that they belonged to Cathy. You can't imagine how much effort she put into breeding these excellent pedigree cats. The honor will always belong to her, and I'm just her agent, "he explained.
Eddie had already guessed it, but when he heard it from Zhang Zian's mouth, his heart still filled with respect. How many people were ecstatic when they received a will, but they didn't know how to be grateful to the generous giver?
He looked at Cathy in the sea of flowers again. She smiled so brightly and happily, as if she had heard their conversation.
