Chapter 160: You’re not even trying to hide the cat-catching from the cat, are you?

“Really?”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the car looked out the window.

Sure enough, at the edge of the green lawn beside them, they saw a Tabby Cat whose back looked like a Big Fat Gourd.

It was facing away from them, its big head lowered, and its two small ears twitching from time to time.

“The three of you get off here and go take a look. I’ll park the car in the nearby parking lot.” Looking at Li Li’s back, the Station Chief said decisively.

They had finally encountered this Tabby Cat, and they absolutely could not miss this opportunity. Otherwise, who knew when they would see it again next time?

“Okay.” Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately grabbed their tools, got out of the car, and walked towards where Li Li was.

“Meow~（Huh? I’ve never seen these three guys before. What are they trying to do?）” Li Li, who was eating a Cat Treat Stick, glanced at the three people who were wearing gloves and carrying a Cat-Catching Cage and a Cat Carrier Bag.

He could now hear even the slightest sounds, so their conversation naturally did not escape his ears.

However, he did not remember having any contact with these guys. What were they doing coming over here with tools? Were they full and had nothing better to do?

“Hello, kitty. You’re so well-behaved. I really like you.”

“Yeah, yeah. Kitty, do you have a home? My house is very big.”

The white-collar Young Misses, stroking Li Li’s paws, looked like they were about to fall head over heels for him.

“Meow~（That’s enough. Don’t be so ridiculous. We’re already even. You’ve eaten, and now you want to take the pot away too?）” Hearing these incredibly familiar words, Li Li was speechless.

He didn’t know how many times he had heard such words. It was fine for these people to just pet him, but in the end, they wanted to take him away.

“Miss, is this Large Tabby Cat yours?” Zhou Zhenfeng asked as she walked up to the crowd. This Fat Tabby Cat was actually so friendly?

If it was a Stray Cat, they would take it away directly.

“No, we just stopped to pet him after seeing him here.” The Young Miss who was asked replied, then looked at the bag Zhou Zhenfeng was carrying, her eyes showing vigilance as she said, “Why are you asking?”

“Yeah, what you’re holding should be a Cat Carrier Bag, right?” The other Young Misses also looked at Zhou Zhenfeng after hearing this.

Or rather, they looked at the three of them, as the things they were carrying were simply too conspicuous.

Seeing this situation, the three of them immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said,

“Don’t misunderstand, ladies. We’re not bad people. We’re from the Stray Animal Rescue Station.”

“Yes, yes. Winter is coming soon, so our rescue station is rescuing cats everywhere to prevent them from being unable to survive the harsh winter.”

This Fat Tabby Cat was loved by so many people. If they didn’t speak up, they would be surrounded in the next second.

“You say you’re from the Stray Animal Rescue Station? There are a lot of cat thieves these days.”

“Yeah, and a few years ago, there were bad people who specifically stole Fat Cats to make fur.”

“That’s right. You have no proof. If you don’t show us some evidence, we won’t let you leave so easily.”

The crowd said after they finished listening, directly surrounding Zhou Zhenfeng and the other two. They looked like they were going to send the three of them to the police station if they couldn’t answer. 𝑅ÀNO͍฿Ę𝙎

These days, it wasn’t enough to just talk. They weren’t that stupid. Believe whatever the other party said? They preferred to see evidence.

The passersby who heard the commotion stopped to watch the fun.

“Everyone, please calm down. We have our work IDs.” Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Ying Zheng quickly said.

Although they were often misunderstood for their work in animal rescue, no day had been more dangerous than today. The crowd of onlookers was packed tightly.

If they didn’t explain this clearly, they wouldn’t be able to get out.

“I can print hundreds of work IDs like yours at a copy shop, believe it or not?”

“That’s right, you three are carrying cat-catching tools. Who knows if you’re catching cats to sell them?”

Seeing Ying Zheng take out his work ID, the Young Misses didn’t believe him at all.

What was a work ID? This thing was not difficult to forge at all.

“Then how can we prove it? You don’t believe us even when we show our work IDs.” Zhou Zhenfeng was a little exasperated when she heard this.

They didn’t show any evidence, and the Young Misses didn’t believe them. They showed evidence, and the Young Misses still didn’t believe them.

Was there any difference whether they showed evidence or not?

“You just need to stay here and don’t move. If you’re really staff from the Stray Animal Rescue Station, the police will naturally let you go when they arrive.”

“That’s right, unless you have something to hide. Why are you so scared otherwise?” The crowd said to the three. There were patrolling police officers nearby. Wouldn’t they know when the police arrived?

“Huh?”

Hearing this, the three of them were dumbfounded. So after all this talk, they still wanted to call the police? Why waste their breath then?

“Meow~（I can’t believe people these days love animals so much?）” Li Li, who was at the center of the incident, couldn’t help but mutter to himself as he watched the scene.

He was completely unfazed, purely watching the fun.

“Everyone, make way, make way. I’m the Station Chief of the Stray Animal Rescue Station. I have proof to prove our identity.” At this moment, a shout came from outside the crowd.

Then, a figure finally squeezed in.

“Station Chief, you’re finally here. If you hadn’t come, we would have been taken to the police station.”

“Yes, Station Chief.”

Seeing the Station Chief appear, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Ladies, I’m the Station Chief of the Blue Island City Stray Animal Rescue Station. I have accounts on major video websites. This is my personal account. You can take a look.” The Station Chief who came in had no time to talk nonsense with them and showed everyone his video platform account and the videos he had taken.

Finally, he also took out photos of their Stray Animal Rescue Station and videos of the animals they had rescued living there.

The crowd’s gazes towards them finally softened a bit.

“Everyone can believe us now, right? Our Stray Animal Rescue Station is right here in the city. If you don’t believe us, you can come with us to take a look later.” The Station Chief said after doing all this. It was really close. They almost went to the police station. Fortunately, he knew what to do this time after the previous experience.

“Okay, since you have an account and 200,000 followers, we believe you’re from the Stray Animal Rescue Station. But why are you staring at the kitty? He’s just basking in the sun here. There’s no evidence that he’s a Stray Cat.”

“Yeah, you can’t just take him to the Stray Animal Rescue Station because he’s not at home, right?”

The Young Misses, who had dispelled their doubts, continued to say, looking at the four.

Even if they were really staff from the Stray Animal Rescue Station, they couldn’t just catch any cat.

“We naturally know that, but no one here seems to know him.”

“Yes, if he’s not a Stray Cat, our Stray Animal Rescue Station can take care of him first and wait for his owner to come and claim him. If he is a Stray Cat, then we can rescue him. If any of you want to adopt him, you can do so directly.”

Hearing this, the few people spoke. The originally chattering Young Misses looked at each other, seemingly very tempted by their words.

“It seems that you have no objections, right? We’ll start catching the cat now. We hope you won’t stop us.” Seeing this scene, the Station Chief said. The Young Misses made way for them.

In fact, they also hoped that the Fat Cat in front of them was a Stray Cat so they could take it home.

Under the watchful eyes of the passersby, the few people started their operation.

“Meow~（You’re talking about catching me right in front of me. Don’t you think that’s a little too disrespectful?）” Li Li was speechless as he saw the Station Chief approaching.

These days, people didn’t even try to hide the cat-catching from the cat anymore? They were openly plotting right in front of him. Did he look like the kind of cat that was easy to fool?

“Good Fat Tabby, we’re not bad people. Don’t move. I’ll take you to a good place. There’s food, drink, and a warm place to stay.” Zhou Zhenfeng said as she looked at Li Li, who was squatting on the ground. Ying Zheng carefully approached from the side.

Although he had just seen this Fat Tabby Cat letting people pet him, he didn’t dare to be careless. Otherwise, this Fat Tabby Cat might bite him back.

“Come on, Fat Tabby, look here. There’s delicious canned food here.” The Station Chief opened a can of cat food to attract Li Li as he watched Ying Zheng approach step by step.

The three of them surrounded Li Li from the left, right, and back, forming a triangle. Shi Huaizhong, who was standing next to them, was filming with his mobile phone.

Just as Ying Zheng got closer and closer, about to touch Li Li’s back, Li Li suddenly jumped up and kicked Ying Zheng’s arm. The whole cat did a somersault in the air and landed behind Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng, who had been stepped on, let out a cry of surprise and fell onto the black steps, losing his balance.

“Oh no! Ah Zheng missed.” The Station Chief’s face turned grave when he saw this scene. If they failed to catch the cat with their hands, the cat wouldn’t give them another chance to get close.

“Meow~（Trying to play sneak attack on me? Do you think you can outsmart me?）” Li Li, who had landed on the grass, looked at the few people with disdain. He sat quietly on the grass, ready to see what other tricks they had up their sleeves.

After all, the other party had already opened the can of food. It wasn’t his style to leave without getting anything.

“It seems this cat is not so easy to catch.”

“Yeah, he’s so fat but so agile. Amazing.”

The passersby who witnessed the whole process couldn’t help but discuss among themselves. No wonder they said cats were agile. They had seen it now.

A cat as fat as a pig could jump so high.
