Chapter 45.2 (2/2)

Sai Lulu scoffed at them, “Exactly! Older brother Shen was forced to absorb the second demon heart fragment and fell into a coma because of you… “

Xue Junli interrupted Sai Lulu, “I don’t think Shen Yuan did it for him.”

Sai Lulu suddenly froze. Xue Junli took a look at Xiao Tangqiu, his tone calm as he said, “I believe that no matter who was parasitized at that time, whether it was you or Yu Fuling or even Duan Hongzhen, Shen Yuan would do the same thing. That’s who he is.”

Duan Hongzhen arched an eyebrow, “What do you mean even me?”

Xue Junli ignored Duan Hongzhen’s taunt and told Xiao Tangqiu, “You and your friend can go back. Forget what happened before and watch your mouth, otherwise you won’t want to know what the consequences are.”

Xiao Tangqiu stared at Xue Junli’s cold expression. He stuck his neck out and demanded, “Can you let me see him once? Even one glance is enough. I just want to see how he is now… “

Xue Junli refuted firmly, “No need. Duan Hongzhen, see our guests out.”

“Hey, you stinky brat,” Duan Hongzhen looked at Xue Junli with an arched eyebrow. The relationship between the two was obviously not very harmonious. “Don’t think that just because the captain is in a coma, you can order me around.”

“What are you doing quarrelling at this time?” Yu Fuling frowned slightly. “Duan Hongzhen, you send them out first. We have to discuss what to do next.”

Duan Hongzhen shrugged, “Mmm, I’ll listen to you, I’ll listen to you.”

Xiao Tangqiu wanted to continue pleading with them but Xue Junli and Yu Fuling had already turned around and assumed a cold expression that indicated their refusal to continue talking. He sighed and could only reluctantly follow Duan Hongzhen to leave.

After leaving the living hall, Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but ask Duan Hongzhen, “You really can’t let me see Shen Yuan?”

Duan Hongzhen shrugged, “If you have a way to wake up the captain, I can take you to see him.”

Xiao Tangqiu was still a little unwilling to let go, “Is it really impossible?”

The three of them walked along the long corridor back to the elevator and were about to enter. The last bit of hope in Xiao Tangqiu’s heart wilted.

But just then, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly heard a soft meow.

“Meow~“

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly froze. It wasn’t strange to hear meowing, but it was strange to hear it here.

Xiao Tangqiu’s gaze followed the source of the meowing and at the corner of the corridor ahead, appeared a small black cat with smooth, shiny fur and beautiful emerald green eyes, just like a pair of mysterious gems.

“A cat? Where did it come from?” Tang Mianmian also noticed the black cat.

“It actually ran out. That never happens,” Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows, sounding a little strange. “It has never come out to meet outsiders before.”

As soon as Duan Hongzhen’s words fell, the black cat walked towards Xiao Tangqiu in a refined manner, using its emerald green eyes to examine him.

Xiao Tangqiu was rather puzzled. In the next second, a white cat appeared. The white cat was covered in luscious fur and had a pair of glittering, crystal blue eyes. As soon as it saw Xiao Tangqiu, it immediately pounced on him.

Xiao Tangqiu, who got a fright, subconsciously stumbled backwards but the white cat followed him, meowing softly and rubbing his calf with its little head.

“What the hell? Qiuqiu, when did you become catnip?” As a cat lover, Tang Mianmian was very jealous of this. “You clearly said before that cats aren’t automatically drawn to you! You lied to me!”

Xiao Tangqiu was also very puzzled. “I’m really not ah…” Although he liked cats very much, they hardly ever came up to him on their own. This was the first time he encountered such a thing.

After rubbing against Xiao Tangqiu’s calf, the white cat turned and ran a few steps forward. Then, it stopped and looked back at Xiao Tangqiu.

The black cat seemed to have finally finished examining Xiao Tangqiu. It quietly gave Xiao Tangqiu another meow.

Xiao Tangqiu was confused. “Is it talking to me?”

The black cat stood up, turned around and looked back at Xiao Tangqiu.

Tang Mianmian suddenly thought of something, “It seems to be asking you to follow…”

Looking at the black and white cats that looked as if they were inviting him, Xiao Tangqiu first hesitated then followed.

Duan Hongzhen arched his eyebrow but didn’t mean to stop Xiao Tangqiu, so he was able to follow the two cats through the long corridor to a room at the end of the corridor without any obstruction.

This room looked ordinary and didn’t seem special, but when Xiao Tangqiu stood in front of the door, his heart started pounding wildly for some reason. He didn’t think it was polite to barge into someone else’s room so he couldn’t help but pause at the door.
