Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 604: Strange Men and Women
"What exactly happened?"

The arguing next door grew louder and louder, vaguely sounding like several people bullying one person, which made Meimei even more curious.

But she knew her own condition and that her body was not suitable for participating in any potentially dangerous events; so even if she was curious, she would only turn her head to peek in that direction when the makeup artist was getting her tools, and she would definitely not go over there herself.

Huang Qi couldn't resist wanting to join in the fun, but after being glared at by Lin Ge, he kept quiet. He knew that Mimi must know what was going on over there, and there must be a special reason why she wouldn't let him join in.

"It's someone else's business, and it's such a distressing thing right before the wedding. Why should you two get involved? Aren't you afraid of bringing bad luck?"

Lin Ge curled his lip in disdain.

He forbade Huang Qi and Mei Mei to go over and watch, but he himself pricked up his ears to listen to the commotion.

Once a shameful secret is exposed, it's clear that no matter how calm a person is, or how honest they were in the past, no one can tolerate such a thing.

Unsurprisingly, the groom got into an argument with the bride and the man. The only thing that Lin Ge regretted was that he didn't resort to violence, but instead foolishly demanded an explanation from the other party.

That's utterly idiotic. What's the point of explaining something like this?
Lin Ge curled his lip in disdain.

As he expected, all of the bride's best friends joined in the attack on the groom.

"You two aren't married yet, are you? You haven't even gotten your marriage certificate. What right do you have to interfere with what she does?"

"Who do you think you are? Or do you think that even if we're married, she'll be your slave and have to listen to you? What do you take women for? Look at you now, are you about to hit someone? Huh! Come on, hit her if you dare!"

"Who do you think you are? Do I need to explain myself to you? Are you a judge or a police officer? You're meddling in other people's business!"

"Wife? What's wrong with being your wife? Who said I can't have friends after becoming your wife? You said you saw something? What did you see? Nothing happened at all. Are you deliberately trying to pick a fight?"

"You need to provide evidence before you speak. Do you believe I'll sue you for defamation?"

"Xiao Ai is crying, you're so heartless!"

"Hey! You can get married if you want, or not if you don't! My Xiao Ai is so pretty, she can find a husband anywhere, why does she have to stick with an ugly man like you?"

"You're the one who went back on your word, and you still want money? Dream on!"

Four women blocked the groom's path, their loud voices clashing and preventing him from getting a chance to speak. The women were unreasonable and domineering; explanations and facts were meaningless to them, and they even twisted the truth, leaving the man utterly humiliated.

To the groom's even greater surprise, the other two people who were his best friends' boyfriends, for reasons unknown, also joined in the persuasion.

"Brother, let's just forget about it!"

Two young men, one tall and one thin, pulled the groom aside and patted him hard on the shoulder.

"Just pretend you didn't see it, let's just let it go. Honestly, what's the big deal, right? You're not a virgin, you've had experience before! It's just a matter of one more time or one less time. If you keep it to yourself, aren't you just making yourself miserable?"

"Yeah! Marriage is just that—it's about giving your parents an explanation, that's all. You really think you can make her fall head over heels in love with you after just two blind dates? You can't even dream about something that easy!"

"Brother, really don't think too much about it! It's pointless to overthink it. Things have already come to this, what else can you do? Cancel the wedding? But you've already sent out the invitations, and all your relatives and friends know. It'll sound bad if we cancel it because of this, right? Here's what we'll do: I'll make a promise to you here, I'll never let Dajun get close to Xiao Ai again, and I'll persuade Xiao Ai to live a good life with you from now on, okay?"

"To be frank, you also have a problem, okay? You couldn't make Xiao Ai completely like you, so don't blame her for doing this. A man has to rely on his own abilities, right? After you get married, you can slowly train her. It's not a big deal."

The tall man and the thin man argued back and forth, shifting the blame onto the groom.

"..."

The groom felt wronged and remained silent, completely at a loss for words when these people spoke to him.

Of course he knew that what had happened could not be changed, and he also knew that his relatives and friends were waiting for better days; but no man could accept watching his wife and an outsider have happened, you bastard.

No matter how many fallacies these men and women spout, they cannot change the fact that his new wife was unfaithful to him!

For the sake of his reputation, and for the possibility of his wife changing her mind, he had to endure it.
The man clenched his fists, but still couldn't convince himself. Especially since his wife and that scoundrel were still standing together, not uttering a single word or offering an apology, which made him feel their incorrigible nature and utter contempt for him.

"I'm calling the police! I...I'm going to have the police arrest you!"

The man pulled out his phone and, gritting his teeth, began dialing. Although he didn't know if this was under the jurisdiction of the police, it was the only person he could trust to treat him fairly.

"Brother, isn't this getting boring?"

The tall man held down the groom's hand. His height of over 1.8 meters made him appear very imposing in front of the groom, who was only about 1.6 meters tall.

"Besides, the police don't handle this kind of thing! What do you call this? This is a moral issue, understand? It's not illegal or criminal. What good will calling the police do besides letting more people know you've been cuckolded?"

The skinny man put his arm around the groom's shoulder and said with a grin, "If you really can't get over it, you can just call it quits. It's no big deal. Just find some excuse, break up or whatever. As for the losses, your family's rich, what are you afraid of? But let's make this clear beforehand: your family told Xiao Ai that if you got married, they wouldn't pay back the money her family owed, right? Xiao Ai agreed to the marriage, but you backed out halfway through. That's your problem. Don't ask Xiao Ai's family for money anymore, OK?"

"What's this called? This is called a toad trying to eat swan meat, a complete waste of effort! Haha..."

The tall man and the thin man burst into laughter.

"you……"

The groom was still trembling, furious at the shamelessness of these people.

He had been thinking of swallowing his anger and leaving, but now he was completely enraged. Seeing that the two were about to continue mocking him, he pushed them away forcefully and dialed a phone as he walked out.

"Hello! Is this 110?"

"You are looking for death!"

The tall man stumbled from the push, and seeing the groom's stubbornness, he flew into a rage. He roared and menacingly approached the groom, "You're really asking for it, aren't you? You dare call the police? Believe me, I'll kill you!"

"Officer, I've been tricked! They're going to beat me up and kill me! Please come and save me!"

The groom immediately ran away when he realized something was wrong.

"Fish Head, you block the door! I want to see where this little brat is hiding!"

The tall man gritted his teeth and, amidst the gasps of everyone on the floor, ordered his accomplices to block the door. He then picked up a prop from the ground and viciously threw it at the groom.

The groom underestimated the complexity of the photo studio's shooting location, having never been to such a place before, and thus made a mistake by going to the wrong location.

Or perhaps he thought that these people would back down after he called the police, never expecting that they would still rush over and beat him up even after hearing the phone ring.

It was too late to run downstairs at this point, so he could only use the complicated environment of the photo studio to hide.

When he ran over to Meimei and found that there were other people putting on makeup, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He quickly turned around, enduring the possibility of being hit on the shoulder by a tall guy rather than involve them.

But at this moment, the man named Dajun, who was involved in the incident, came out aggressively after discovering how things had developed. Since Little Green Hat was unwilling to let things go, he no longer gave her any face and directly blocked her way with a ferocious smile.

Two burly, young men cornered the groom, who looked to be in his thirties, and quickly knocked him down, then beat him mercilessly on the ground.

"what!"

This terrible scene drew gasps from everyone, and Meimei quickly urged Lin Ge to hurry up.

"Mimi, hurry and stop them! What's the big deal? They're fighting like this. Don't let them really hurt anyone!"

"Yes! Then take good care of yourself and make sure you don't get bumped or hurt."

Lin Ge had no choice but to sigh and walk out.

To be honest, this result was completely different from what he expected. If he had just calmed down, he would have just walked away. Why did he stay there and argue with them?
Birds of a feather flock together. What's the point of reasoning with this kind of guy? With the help of a cat, you learned the truth and should have cut your losses. Did you really expect the bride to change her mind?

Idiot!
Lin Ge felt he had wasted his time helping out. He couldn't stand the groom's stupidity, but as a police cat, he couldn't just stand by and watch a fight break out.

So he walked over to the guy who was hitting him, while keeping a wary eye on the skinny guy who had been blocking the door but was now eager to join in and punch him a couple of times since things had settled down.

"Ow!"

As Lin Ge approached, he roared loudly, instantly startling the three assailants, who turned around warily to stare at the strange cat.

This cat is wearing a bright red vest, and its eyes are sharp and somewhat frightening. What on earth is this thing?

"It's you……"

The bruised and battered groom also saw Lin Ge and immediately thought of the scene when the cat kicked open the fire escape with its hind legs, exposing his wife's shameful affair to him.

"Mimi is a police cat at Zhanghe Police Station, a police officer with official status! You're beating people up in front of the police, do you all want to go to jail for a few days? I'm warning you, fighting is considered disorderly conduct, and if you don't stop when the police come, you'll go to jail!"

Meimei sat in front of the dressing table, looking this way, and shouted loudly again, using Lin Ge's identity as a threat.

"This cat...is a policeman?"

The tall man and the army were stunned for a moment, somewhat disbelieving, but the cat's eyes did indeed seem a little creepy.

"I think I've heard about police cats before."

The skinny man reflexively withdrew his hand and even quickly stood up to move a little further away from the groom. Even the tall man's cheek twitched, and he quickly stopped pressing the groom to the ground.

"Damn it! You're asking for it!"

Only Dajun remained arrogant and resentful, standing up and kicking the groom again.

"Ouch! You're not giving me any face? I've already identified myself, and you still dare to hit me in front of me?"

Enraged, Lin Ge lunged fiercely at the army.

He already disliked this guy, and now seeing him so stubborn only fueled his anger. So when he pounced, Lingo's cat claws showed no mercy, slamming into Dajun's chest and sending him flying to the ground.

With a loud 'thud,' Dajun crashed to the ground.

He fell and saw stars, but he cursed and struggled to get up. Then he saw a gray light flash before his eyes, and a few broken hairs slowly drifted to his face and even covered his eyes, making him freeze in mid-air.

Is that a knife he's holding?

Is it still a cat?

The army immediately dared not struggle anymore and obediently lay on the ground without moving.

Thinking back to how he was easily pushed over by a cat, Dajun gasped inwardly, realizing the true capabilities of this legendary police cat.

"Hit me again!"

Lin Ge roared again, glaring at the three bastards.

Not only do they bully honest people, but they also use clever excuses to make shameless claims and dare to disregard him. Isn't that just courting death?
The three of them shuddered and dared not make any further movement.

"hiss……"

The groom, who had narrowly escaped death, felt pain all over his body, but at least he was safe now. He struggled to his feet, rubbed his sore and numb mouth with the back of his hand, and then became arrogant as if someone was backing him up, even wanting to take revenge.

"Don't you fucking cause me any trouble!"

Lin Ge turned his head and roared, which startled the guy so much that he trembled and quickly stopped.

But he wasn't willing to let it go like that, so he jogged over to Meimei and shouted urgently, "Officer, arrest them! Look what they've done to me, they've bullied my...my..."

At this point, he glanced at the women who were secretly peeking in his direction, unsure how to address the woman who had previously been his fiancée.

"Hehe... I'm not a policeman. Let's talk about your business when the real police arrive! And don't bring up these kinds of nonsense with me, I'm getting married soon and don't want anyone to affect my mood!"

Meimei waved her hand, not wanting to listen to this awful and sleazy man talk about those disgusting things.

By this point, she had pretty much figured out what was going on, but it was precisely because she understood that she felt disgusted. She didn't want to have any contact with this kind of thing at all, and was only worried about defiling her ears and the baby in her womb.

"Aren't you a police officer?"

The groom paused for a moment, then looked back at the cat that was still staring at the three villains.

"I'm definitely not a police officer, but Mimi is indeed a police cat. Anyway, don't talk to me about those things, they have nothing to do with me. Please move aside, I need to continue applying makeup."

Meimei turned to the makeup artist next to her, who seemed a little scared, reserved, and at a loss, and gestured for her not to worry about what was going on there. She told her to leave it to the studio manager and the police, and to hurry up and finish her own photoshoot.

With the wedding date so tight, Meimei can't afford to waste a single day. And her belly is getting bigger and bigger; if things don't go smoothly today, they'll have to reschedule, and if it drags on too long, she might not even look good in her wedding dress.

"sorry."

The makeup artist knew about Meimei's wedding date, and upon hearing this, she quickly apologized before nervously and anxiously starting to do Meimei's makeup again.

Her makeup was more complicated than that of other brides because, due to her pregnancy, she couldn't use many lead-containing cosmetics. Therefore, the makeup artist needed to create the most beautiful look using the simplest and fewest materials, which was a considerable challenge for her.

"I said, can you please move a little further away!"

Huang Qi was a little annoyed that the groom was still standing behind Meimei, looking lost and afraid to leave.

You're trying to shift the blame, aren't you?
It's perfectly normal to ask for help after being beaten up, but isn't it a bit unethical to ask a woman for support? Even if those guys were intimidated by Mimi, who can guarantee what kind of things those kinds of people might do?
What if...

Just as Huang Qi was persuading the groom to speak, the five women whispered among themselves and made up their minds. The bride, still wearing her pure white wedding dress, carefully walked towards the groom, silently adjusting his clothes as she met his gaze.

The groom's expression softened quickly, and the bride then lowered her head and said, "Can't we talk about this when we get back? You can withdraw the police report first, and I'll have the three of them apologize to you. There's no need to make such a big deal out of this, okay?"

"An apology? That's what I want?"

The groom paused for a moment, then, as if struck by a sudden thought, his emotions surged.

"What I want is an explanation? What I want is an apology? What's the use of an apology? You've caused this mess, and an apology is all it takes?"

"So what do you want to do? Things are already like this, do whatever you want! Whether the marriage goes ahead or not is up to you, anyway, what do I, a woman, have to be ashamed of! On the contrary, you've made a big fuss and everyone knows about it, am I the one who will be laughed at?"

"What the hell do you mean? You don't want to get married, do you?"

The groom was embarrassed, angry, and at a loss. At this moment, he really didn't know what to do except throw a tantrum.

"Getting married? This guy actually still has delusions about this woman?"

Lin Ge turned around in disbelief, never expecting that this fool was still hesitating to end things quickly.

Did he really think that by calling the police and relying on their intimidation, he could make this woman stay faithful and never cheat again? What a joke! The police don't have that kind of responsibility, you idiot!
"Pfft!"

Even the man named Dajun couldn't help but chuckle at this moment, never expecting that the person who had taken a liking to Xiao Ai would be such a weirdo.

What the hell are you laughing at?!

The groom seemed to be provoked, and jumped up with red eyes. Looking around but not finding anything he could grab, he simply snatched the makeup case from the vanity table in front of Meimei and threw it viciously at Dajun.
