Chapter 26 (1/2)
After giving out instructions, He Tao lit another cigarette and sat down next to Wei Ling Now that this case was solved, he felt that a weight was lifted off his shoulders In order to run his operation, he had been controlling his ser an issue
”Where do you plan to work as a security guard? In a residential complex? A company or maybe a factory?” He asked
”A company or a factory It will depend After all, the factory is not yet built” Wei Ling answered
”Whose factory is it?”
”Charcoal's dad and his friends I decided to join in last minute However, I don't knowas left of uard is more suitable for me I plan to invite my retired friends from the army to join in later”
He Tao was silent for aon the rooftop and said: ”His dad?”
”Yeah” Wei Ling flipped the ash off his cigarette ”People at the quarters use language like that They call themselves their pets' daddy or mommy”
”Since when did people decide to hold pets in such high esteem?”
”I suppose people started doing that when they beca that I heard earlier that the more people you know, the more you appreciate how cute pets are”
”I think this way of thinking is too extreme, and I for one do not think so pointed to Zheng Tan, ”That one has quite the temper and never listens”
He Tao tucked He was going to add on some insults but remembered he still owed the cat a favor, so he didn't say anything
”Oh right Tell that friend of yours to stay out of the spotlight for the moment I heard that there is command from up top to clean up the streets”
”I'd tell him even if you didn't ood that the police is planning to take action”
The police officers had finished their tasks, so He Tao did not press theon the shoulder ”If you ever need help, you know I'o check out your factory once it has been built”
Wei Ling shook his hands to indicate he understood ”As for you,your career Your moves are not what they use to be If not for that cat earlier, you'd be in big trouble this time”
He Tao chuckled ”You boys are a pain in the ass You cause trouble after trouble, so I need to be in high places to take care of you guys Otherwise, you would need to go begging someone else”
Wei Ling watched as He Tao walked away He took a long drag of his cigarette, then threw it on the ground and extinguished it He called out to Zheng Tan: ”Charcoal, let's go”
Zheng Tan stood up and stretched He looked around him, then at the real estate advertisement billboard nearby, then shook his fur and went downstairs It was tio home
On their way back to Chu Hua city, Wei Ling slowed the motorcycle down and took a few detours It was like he was out just for a drive
It was three in the afternoon when they got back to the quarters Zheng Tan went straight to take a bath He scratched his basin to hint at Wei Ling to heat up water
Wei Ling took a shower as well Because they were going to the hospital soon, it was not good to carry the dirt they had collected during theirtrip It was less about their looks, but rather because they didn't want to bring too er in a sterilized room, it was better to tidy up for the hospital
When they arrived at the hospital, they heard Ma with the resident doctor na care of her
Zheng Tan twitched his ears The kids were at school at this hour, what on earth could make Mama Jiao so happy?
Zheng Tan got his anshen they stepped into the ward
At the ure rolled around next to her good ar for belly rubs
Zheng Tan: ”…”
Why was this idiot back so soon?
Inside, General's owner, Professor Tan, was chatting with Papa Jiao
Professor Tan, as about the sae as Papa Jiao, looked extremely pleased ”This time on our trip to that natural reserve, we met another blue y professor That h it couldn't enunciate quite as well as General here”
”The two birds had a singing contest Of course, our General won big tih notes nor sing the lower notes It sounded like it was hiccupping when it was trying to go low and sounded like dying chickens when it tried to go high”
Everyone laughed at this
Hearing his story being told, General, as lying on Mama Jiao bed flipped up and croaked: ”Hurray for General! Hurray for General!”
”Sing us another song, General” Li Xiaoxi said
General tilted his head and thought for a moment Five seconds later, he started:
Oh sweet love~~your s ~~ blosso~
He tilted his head frousted by his antics
Ignoring General, Zheng Tan hopped on Mama Jiao's bed and squeezed the parrot away
Seeing Zheng Tan jued the covers for his comfort
With the soft and war Tan felt better
General sang while inching towards Zheng Tan When he finished the last note, his beak was still open and he fleards the cat He was ai Tan's ear
Zheng Tan flexed his paws and twitched his ears He glanced sideways at the parrot with a threatening gleam in his eyes as if to say, bite me if you dare I will teach you a lesson
General hadn't seen a cat for a while and couldn't help himself He wanted to nip on the cat's ears However, he paused when he saw the look in Zheng Tan's eyes and eventually turned away
Everyone in the ward couldn't stop laughing at the bird and the cat
Li Xiaoxi checked the time and had to leave to coe Maes
Wei Ling did not stay for long either
Zheng Ling laid next to Mama Jiao He made sure to stay away from her hurt arm and other injuries
Professor Tan and Papa Jiao were talking about projects at the university General was bored and decided to practice opening bottles with the plastic bottle on the night stand Whenever he was close to touching one of Ma Tan shooed him away
