I'm a junior in college this year, and I've linked my fishing check-in system.

Jiang Qian explained the whole story in detail.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Chen Huifang smiled and said, "Actually, we already knew."

She rolled her eyes and showed the video: "Whether you're in a relationship or not is obvious at a glance."

"Stop pretending!"

Jiang Qian stared at the video, his eyes wide: "Huh?!"

Holy crap, who knows you guys would use this for!

Ms. Chen Huifang snorted coldly: "When are you going to bring that girl back for your mother to see?"

"Mom, it hasn't come to that."

"What do you mean 'not at that stage'? You're already cooking for others!"

Jiang Qian couldn't explain the system's reward of recipes, so he could only laugh awkwardly.

"Well, dear mother, could I buy a high-speed rail ticket for tonight...?"

Behind him, Jiang Zhiguo waved his hand: "Go, go, go."

"Now you're showing how farsighted I was in giving you that pornographic disc, right? Remember, in real life..."

Ms. Chen Huifang raised her foot and kicked him, saying, "We'll go to the grave for you tomorrow."

My aunt and uncle also expressed their support, and scolded their son for only spending money on gacha games...

Jiang Qian let out a long sigh.

Although this house looks a bit like a prank house, it seems to be quite reliable.

"Ready to go!"

……

Ten hours ago.

Upon seeing her parents, Dai Zhenli drew the curtains shut.

The room darkened, with only the phone screen providing a faint glow.

The cat owner lay on her lap, his tail swishing back and forth.

"Who leaked my home address?"

Dai Zhenli cursed inwardly. Logically speaking, the only people who knew her address were her business partners from when she started the business.

There was only Jiang Qian.

She absolutely refused to believe that Jiang Qian would betray her, so...

Dai Zhenli secretly looked downstairs, feeling a little nervous.

She saw her parents and younger brother go their separate ways and enter three residential buildings!

Not long after, she heard footsteps coming from the hallway!

Dai Zhenli pricked up her ears and heard her mother's voice.

"Is there a girl living on this floor? She looks like a college student, with long hair—"

knocking.

Knock on each and every door!

Dai Zhenli was truly on the verge of a breakdown, and unconsciously hugged the cat boss even tighter.

The cat boss looked at Dai Zhenli, meowed, and seemed to sense its owner's mood. It quieted down and nuzzled her palm with its head.

The sounds in the hallway were getting closer.

"Sister, thank you so much. My daughter lives nearby, and we've been looking for her for ages—"

"Yes, she's unfilial. She made a mistake, took the family's money and ran away. Oh dear, we're heartbroken too..."

Dai Zhenli closed her eyes.

Why?

Is it really impossible to escape completely?

Just then, her phone vibrated.

A message from the counselor.

"Dai Zhenli, your parents just came to the school. They said they want to call the police because you're missing."

"I've calmed things down for now, but please don't go back to school."

"There's one more thing. It seems your parents know which neighborhood you live in, but I don't know exactly who let it slip."

"Take care of yourself."

Dai Zhenli's fingers trembled slightly as she looked at the messages.

Call the police?

Missing?

They'll stop at nothing!

She put down her phone, took a deep breath, and subconsciously opened Jiang Qian's chat window, only to find that Jiang Qian still hadn't replied to her.

"He's probably busy..."

Just then, the cat owner suddenly jumped off her knees.

"The cat boss?"

The cat owner ignored her and ran straight towards the balcony.

Dai Zhenli stood there, stunned.

"You don't want me anymore either?"

Even the cat doesn't want her anymore.

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She knew it was incredibly stupid.

But she just felt utterly hopeless.

At this moment, in this darkened room, even the departure of a cat could shatter the last vestige of her strength.

But not long after, she heard a "meow!" from inside the hallway.

Then she heard a scream, "Ah!!" It was her own mother's scream.

A few minutes later, the cat owner jumped back through the window!

"what?"

Dai Zhenli was stunned. She stood up and quietly looked out the window.

Her brother happened to be next to the flower bed when, just then, a whole wheat bread, completely innocent, pounced on his face and started scratching him!

"Ah—! Mom! There's a cat!"

Dai Zhenli only saw her younger brother, Dai Ming, squatting at the entrance of the stairwell, covering his face, with blood seeping from between his fingers.

The cat boss ran incredibly fast, leaving Dai Zhenli's brother far behind!

"Meow!"

The voice was loud, full of energy, and contained no apology whatsoever.

Dai Zhenli almost burst out laughing.

The cat boss has done a great job again...

Soon the cat owner jumped back from the window and into her arms, meowing sweetly.

She looked at the cat owner gently, "Good, good, you've done a great job, here's some extra food for you..."

But at that moment, Dai Zhenli was suddenly jolted.

Because her mother's voice immediately followed!

"Dai Zhenli! Were you up there?!"

"What kind of lousy cat are you raising! It scratched your brother's face!"

"Get down! Get down here right now!"

The sound was so loud that the whole building could hear it.

Dai Zhenli went back into the room and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I raised you all these years, what's wrong with asking you to help your younger brother!"

"Your brother hit someone, and you can't afford to pay for it, are you just going to stand by and watch?"

"Aren't you going home yet? Aren't you the one who ran off with the family's money?"

Dai Zhenli was at a loss; she really had no way to deal with her mother.

Just then, Jiang Qian finally replied.

"I'll be there soon, wait for me..."

Dai Zhenli suddenly felt as if she finally had hope.

……

at the same time.

Jiang Qian is still on the high-speed train back home.

Ms. Chen Huifang knew how to be considerate, so she encouraged Comrade Jiang Zhiguo to drive her to the high-speed rail station.

Although Comrade Jiang Zhiguo was extremely unwilling, he still delivered it to him.

Jiang Qian sat on the high-speed train, feeling a little nervous.

I don't know why, but given his usual nature of not getting involved in cause and effect, he shouldn't have gone in the first place.

He's completely given up!

He's just a fisherman!

But he felt that Dai Zhenli had been so good to him, and if he didn't help her at this moment, it would seem like he was letting her down...

"never mind!"

Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate. My senior sister treats me like her own daughter!

I thought it was over yesterday, but I didn't expect it to continue today.

Jiang Qian felt uneasy until he finished this task, and even fishing didn't feel right for him.

After watching the video, he had some doubts:

"Is this family really that vicious...?"

After thinking for a moment, he sent a message in the air force base's group chat.

I'd like to ask you all a question...
