On the other side, Manager Wang was clutching his heart and gasping for breath as he was carried away by the panicked director and others. When he came to his senses, although he found that the group of rats were no longer scurrying all over him, the feeling of being trampled by a horde of rats made him afraid to close his eyes. Every time he closed his eyes, he felt as if countless rats were running wild on him, and he could even smell that filthy and disgusting odor in his nose.
"Bring me my phone!" he barked at his assistant beside him.
The assistant, trembling with fear, handed him the phone, and Manager Wang viciously pressed a few buttons.
"Li Mingyu!"
"You're fucking with me! Just you wait, I'll make sure you can't make a living!"
"That Jiang Shuangying! I'll make her life miserable! And that dog too!" "Go to hell, turn that dog into minced meat for me!"
"Alright, get out of here!"
Manager Wang hung up the phone with a "click," his anger boiling over.
In the office on the other end, Li Mingyu was also seething with resentment after being scolded. He spat at the phone that had just been hung up.
"Damn it, pretending to be something! Just because you have some money!"
He threw the phone onto the table and, with a sigh, thought of the disobedient Jiang Shuangying and that damn dog, feeling annoyed all over again.
"Brother Li, what's wrong?" a woman of average looks standing beside him asked cautiously.
"None of your business." Li Mingyu took a cigarette between his lips, and the woman quickly and carefully lit it for him.
As the woman hummed and looked at him with her seductive eyes, he pulled his hand back, picked up the phone, and made a call.
"Hello, it's me, Li Mingyu."
"Yeah, catch a dog for me."
"If you can catch it alive, do so. If not, dead is fine too."
"As soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Li Mingyu saved and forwarded the photo that Jiang Shuangying had sent earlier.
He had heard that freshly killed dog meat tasted the best. Li Mingyu let out a cold smile and pulled the woman, who had just been ignored, into his arms.
The woman, feeling flattered, immediately became as soft as jelly in his embrace.
...
When Ye Suchi and Lao Fei climbed out of the window, the black cat had already vanished without a trace.
"Ah, I wonder if I'll ever meet that cat girl again."
"Humph." Ye Suchi let out a cold laugh.
He could encounter such a bizarre situation as a mouse falling in love with a cat; he just had to say, is there anyone else?!
On a Saturday afternoon, perhaps because everyone had gone out to have fun, the rental apartment area was very quiet.
Ye Suchi trotted down the stairs, which were in an old-fashioned building with only six floors. It might have been a faculty apartment in the past, looking quite old with its mottled walls tinged slightly green, likely from moss. Occasionally, some withered remains of ivy, yellow and dry, hung from the walls and railings, swaying in the wind. When Ye Suchi looked up, he could also see many pieces of hanging underwear.
Uh, he wasn't trying to pay attention to that; it was just too conspicuous. For example, that red lace thong... cough, cough.
After leaving the apartment, there were a few green plants nearby. Ye Suchi looked towards the direction of the university and started walking that way.
Lao Fei followed behind him, sniffing and looking around curiously at everything.
"Brother San, is this the one?" a man by the tree asked a bald man.
The bald man held up his phone, squinted and looked, spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth, and nodded.
"Lucky break!" the man said with a smile, rubbing his hands together, ready to rush out.
"Xiao Dian, why are you in such a hurry?" the bald man, Brother San, reached out and stopped Xiao Dian, sneering.
Xiao Dian's face turned red. Mainly because this job paid quite well. Just catching a little dog could earn him 2,000 yuan, and with such easy money, of course he was eager.
Brother San took out a sausage from his bag and said to Xiao Dian, "Here, use this. Otherwise, do you want to race with the dog?"
Xiao Dian chuckled and took the sausage.
Didn't they say that a Husky would follow whoever held the leash? That's why he was planning to go straight for it. If it were a mixed breed or a fierce dog, he wouldn't dare to catch it with his bare hands.
Ye Suchi looked around and found that...
It's fucking autumn now! Where are there any big red flowers!
The ground was covered with half-withered, half-yellow weeds.
But seeing Lao Fei's eager eyes, he had no choice but to roll his eyes and look around, thinking about whether he should just go to a flower shop and trick or treat for one.
At that moment, he suddenly heard a "sucking" sound from behind.
What the hell?
Ye Suchi and Lao Fei turned their heads together to look at the source of the sound.
Xiao Dian, seeing a mouse and a dog turning their heads together in front of him, was stunned for a moment. He had just noticed there was a mouse here. A Husky playing with a mouse—this scene looked so strange.
But Xiao Dian didn't care about that. With a beaming smile, he held up the peeled sausage and continued to make "sucking" sounds, trying to lure Ye Suchi over to eat.
Ye Suchi looked at the man as if he were a fool, his blue pupils rolling with a big white eye.
Xiao Dian was stunned again. Had he just been despised by a dog?
"Come on, come and eat!" Xiao Dian took a step forward with the sausage in hand.
Ye Suchi turned around decisively and showed his back to the man.
Who the hell was this stinky guy, trying to lure Dog Grandpa? Sausage, such a cheap food, was something he might eat? What a joke! Although sausages were indeed quite tasty, his mom had said not to eat food from strangers.
Lao Fei sniffed with his nose, poked Ye Suchi, and said, "Dog Grandpa, what's this? It smells so good, I want to eat it!"
"Then go ahead and eat it." Ye Suchi replied, continuing to walk forward.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait for me, Dog Grandpa!" Lao Fei trotted along with his short legs, following closely.
"Xiao Dian, what are you doing?" Bald Brother San took another cigarette, squinted, and asked, "Can't you even lure a dog?"
"Brother San, it'll be done in a moment!" Xiao Dian laughed awkwardly and chased after them. If the dog ran into the crowd, it would be inconvenient to catch it. Causing a commotion would lead to trouble.
"Sucking, sucking! Sucking, sucking!" Xiao Dian ran while making noises to lure the dog.
"Dog Grandpa," Lao Fei twitched his ears, "he's coming again, bringing you something to eat."
"I do not eat food offered in contempt." Ye Suchi raised his head and said proudly.
"I'll eat it! I'll eat it!" Lao Fei immediately said.
... Ye Suchi was speechless. This fat rat was really damn greedy.
He turned around and bellowed at the man with an average appearance.
"Growl!" Bow down!
"Come on, good dog, here's something yummy for you." Seeing that the little Husky didn't run away but turned around and barked at him, Xiao Dian thought it was working. He immediately walked over happily, with a smiling face and a hushed voice, extending the sausage in his hand towards Ye Suchi.
"Eat it, eat it quickly." He stared at Ye Suchi and spoke in a tone usually used to coax a child.
Hmmm? What's that smell?
Ye Suchi's nose twitched twice. Lao Fei was already holding the sausage and about to take a bite—
