I became the police station's darling after I could understand what the furry creature was sayi

"It's nothing, I just saw someone I know..."

Seeing Nan Shu leave, the boy breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

His gaze remained fixed on Wu Yixing's back, his brows furrowed.

"Are you a classmate? School starts in less than a week. If we run into each other, let's hang out. I'm not busy here."

The woman spoke.

The boy glanced at the current customer flow at the stall. Most of the children who had left school earlier had already gone, and there were indeed not many people. After thinking for a moment, the boy put down the yarn doll in his hand: "Mom, I'll go take a look. Call me if anything happens."

"Okay, go ahead and relax a bit. Once you're back at school, you can study hard."

"Uh-huh…"

The boy agreed and turned to walk quickly in the direction where Nan Shu and the others had left.

The four arrived at the east gate of Guanghua Residential Area.

Compared to the main entrance, there are only two convenience stores and one Cainiao Station collection point here, with two rows of parcel lockers standing quietly on both sides of the entrance against the wall.

"Right here..."

Wu Yixing pointed to a small hut that looked like a converted security booth in the community. "It has been abandoned since the smart sensor door lock was installed. The property management originally wanted to demolish it, but I thought it would be a good place for some cats to hide temporarily, so I rented it."

"Only I and the association members who live in this community have the key to the door lock. Stray cats can enter the house through the hole in the small door to avoid the cold and spend the winter. We usually come to clean and change the water and food on Tuesdays and Thursdays."

Wu Yixing opened the door with a key. The walls inside the room were covered with insulation, which effectively maintained the indoor temperature.

Nan Shu stood at the door and glanced around the room.

The room, which was about seven or eight square meters, was fairly clean and tidy. The cat food and water bowls were full, and there were a few cat beds and cat trees in the corner.

It looked like a very comfortable environment, but there wasn't a single cat in the room.

"Today is Tuesday. Normally, the house would be quite messy at this time, and the cats would fight over food. Members often complain to me about this..."

Wu Yixing uttered 'complaints,' but his tone carried a hint of amusement.

“But…” Wu Yixing sighed heavily, “Ever since that incident, the stray cats have become wary of us and are less willing to come.”

"Actually, this is a good thing. If they are more vigilant towards us, they will be more vigilant towards strangers, which will reduce casualties. However, the temperature is still rising, but it is too difficult for stray cats that are not getting enough to eat."

Nan Shu nodded in agreement.

It's easy to see the care and attention Wu Yixing and his team put into the arrangement of the room.

Their love for stray cats is even deeper than that of some free-roaming cat owners.

"Do you know where they usually hide?"

Nan Shu asked.

To find out exactly what happened, we should ask one or two stray cats for details.

The cat was nowhere to be found at the regular feeding spot, and with darkness approaching and rain starting to fall, finding it became even more difficult.

"If it's not here..."

Wu Yixing seemed to remember something and quickly walked towards the building not far away. "I'm not sure if it's still there, but compared to other stray cats that have been wandering for a long time, it may not be as wary."

Nan Shu and the other two followed, but before they had gone a few steps, they heard the sound of jogging footsteps behind them.

"Brother Wu!"

"Awen?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yixing paused, turned around, and looked at the person who had entered. The boy was panting and subconsciously glanced at Nan Shu.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you were helping your mother sell things?"

Wu Yixing looked puzzled and turned to introduce the boy to Nan Shu and the others, "Fu Wen, a freshman, is a very kind-hearted young man and also a member of our association."

The only requirement for joining their association is that you love cats; whether you have money or not is not a factor.

Fu Wen loves cats, but due to his family's financial situation, he can't afford to keep one. After learning about this association by chance, he took the initiative to contact Wu Yixing, wanting to join the association that scientifically feeds stray cats.

From then on, throughout his senior year of high school, he would come to help whenever he had free time, catching cats, cleaning, feeding them, taking them to be spayed/neutered... he did a lot of physical work.

Wu Yixing and the others all really liked Fu Wen, this young man.

Knowing that his family was not well-off, they would still find ways to help him.

"This is Xiao Nan, the live streamer, Administrator Ji, and her friend."

Wu Yixing explained to Fu Wen.

Upon hearing this, Fu Wen glanced at Nan Shu again, his eyes showing surprise, "Anchor Nan?" But he clearly saw Nan Shu standing with the police that day.

Fu Wen doesn't watch live streams, and he hasn't even downloaded Douyu.

After the stray cat's death was discovered, Fu Wen heard Wu Yixing say he wanted to find an online celebrity to take a look. He felt that the chairman was being overly anxious and was grasping at straws.

How could anyone in this world possibly understand animal speech?
It’s simply a fantasy!
I never expected that the president would actually invite her over, and I never expected that this streamer, Xiao Nan, would have such a connection with me.

"Do you know?"

Wu Yixing keenly noticed that Fu Wen's expression was strange and asked in confusion.

Fu Wen glanced awkwardly at Nan Shu, stammering for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.

"I've met him twice before. I didn't expect that he would know Chairman Wu as well. It's quite a coincidence."

Nan Shu explained with a smile.

She could naturally see Fu Wen's embarrassment and did not reveal what had happened in the bar.

"That really is fate."

Wu Yixing has lived for over forty years, so he could easily see that there might be some things he didn't know. However, since Nan Shu didn't mind, he naturally wouldn't pry and embarrass Fu Wen.

"Speaking of which, the little guy we're going to see was saved by Fu Wen."

Fu Wen's attention was immediately diverted. "Brother Wu, are you talking about Xue Tuan?"

"Yes, to find out the truth, we need to find those little guys and ask them what happened. But now, they've become wary and don't come around much. I think that little guy is a bit timid and doesn't have a large range of activity, so I thought I'd try my luck."

Wu Yixing explained, without stopping.

Soon the five of them arrived at the underground parking garage. There weren't many vehicles parked there, especially in the area where electric bikes were parked, where a large area was covered with a thick layer of dust.

If you look closely, you'll find scattered paw prints resembling plum blossoms on the dust layer.

After passing a barrier wall, a dilapidated electric scooter came into view. The scooter mat had a hole, revealing yellowed and hardened sponge, and there were many scratches on the body.

From a distance, all you can see is what looks like a clump of white cotton inside the cave.

As she got closer, Nan Shu realized that it wasn't white cotton at all, but a silver shaded cat that didn't look very old, with its whole body covered in gray dust.

Upon hearing footsteps, its first reaction wasn't to run away, but to shrink itself even further, as if that would make it invisible. (End of Chapter)
