The news that there was a cat thief in the eastern courtyard spread like wildfire

No one would have thought that there would be soht to nine o'clock during the night and not ht

They had to aduts

At once, everyone on the Chuhua University ca the residents that owned cats in the western courtyard, locked their cats inside when it was night time, even if they bawled their hearts out If they really annoyed, they would sent their cats over to Guo's place to be neutered, it was told that the cats that were castrated wouldn't be as rowdy Anyhow, it was better this way than to be kidnapped, if they got kidnapped they would becoer

This hy for the past few days, business at Guo's pet center was exceptionally great Those who didn't plan for their cats to undergo the operation would still go and enquire to see if there was a way to keep their cat quietly at hoht, the staff at the security post found a motorcycle on the other end of the wall in the eastern courtyard On thesos like cat lures Just by the sight of it, this person had done this many times

According to what the person explained, he said he heard there were cats over here and came to steal those cats out of sudden interest Initially he planned to go to a nearby et

Those words hat Zheng Tan overheard in Papa Jiao and Male word fro that the person had co here to steal right after the careful surveillance of a cat had ended? Moreover in the eastern staff courtyard? In comparison, there weren't many cats in the eastern yard, much less than those residential areas where cats were kept Why would this person bear the risk to co Tan happened to usually go out ?

In the bedroom, Papa Jiao held a textbook in his hands, but his attention was not on the book He felt so fishy, an unexplainable restlessness NoTan and Papa Jiao shared the sas were unsure and doubtful, he may as well be content and stay home Besides, these days even Fatty was locked at horeatly for Fatty, scared that the cat that took a her a lot of effort to raise and feed would be stolen

And just like this, after a week at ho when Ma Tan followed the Tan to follow her until she sent the two kids to school Ma Tan obviously won't go with her but she was also anxious about hi around, so she instructed him to stay on the lawn in front of the pri sun had just rose above the horizon Recently the weather had war birds were everywhere, clainning of the class, those who had classes all attended regardless of whether they were primary school students or university students The road quietened up again

Zheng Tan lay on a landscape stone and yawned Just as he expected it's better to occasionally breathe in fresh air

Before he could finish a yawn, Zheng Tan suddenly had a feeling of foreboding It was similar to what he felt when he was stalked last ti sense of crisis This was the first ti Tan had felt this as a cat

He cautiously surveyed the surrounding, his sight finally falling onto a youngman wore a backpack and a sanitary mask, his hands tucked inside his pockets just like an ordinary student

Due to last year's SARS incident,sanitary masks, there weren't many people that wear the mask now but some still do Even those that rode their electric motorcycle for work at the city center would sometiood asthere to be a lot of dust and debris, so no one would pay special attention to you if you wore a nized hiuy that had stalked hi Tan had to re towards hi Tan didn't prepare to directly clash with hie to hi Tan prepared to flee the scene, he felt a sharp pain on his back

”Aw---”

His cry was cut short as he lost all his energy

A nu his sight and causing his consciousness to begin to fade

Zheng Tan rolled off the rock to the opposite side of where the reat difficulty At thisof his cat tag was elastic

Even if he got caught, Zheng Tan needed to inform Papa Jiao and others that this here it happened

Pulling off the cat tag and threw it in the botto Tan did his most to dive into the bush on the other side but there was nothing he could do The sedative was too strong, his liround in less than two steps, and a needle was stuck on his back

Sht! Catching a cat with tranquilizer gun!

In a daze, Zheng Tan felt so hi becathat a cycler was riding past He quickly ran over, stuffed the cat into his backpack, and then left, causing hi left beneath the rock

Mae bags in her hands She bought pork ribs and planned to ht for everyone as nourishment However, when she returned her cat was nowhere to be seen on the lawn When she left her cat was still lying on the rock, did he go to play?

”Charcoal--”

Mama Jiao yelled, she looked around the lawn and when she ca that fell there

Mama Jiao asked those around the scene but no one had noticed what happened over here Although there was a teacher from the primary school that said when he ca over to the lawn, but the angle fro he couldn't see the situation on the lawn clearly

No longer caring about the groceries in her hands, Mama Jiao took her phone out and dialed Papa Jiao's number in a hurry From what she knew about her cat, he wouldn't leave without any reason if you asked hi over there Her cat was that intelligent

Recalling the cat theft a few days ago, Mama Jiao beca kidnapped?

Over by the classroo a class when he felt the phone vibrate in his pocket He looked at the inco caller ID on the phone screen and walked out of the classrooether

Usually teachers were not allowed to answer phone calls during class except for an eency When Papa Jiao saw that it was Mama Jiao's phone nuency, otherwise she wouldn't call hi

The students sitting in the classroom saw assistant professor Jiao walk out to answer a call Not long later, he returned with great seriousness on his face, turned the projector off, and asked everyone to have a free-study period before hurrying off again

The young fellow that kidnapped Zheng Tan dashed out of the cainally he had intended to find a place to get rid of the cat but at that

”Uncle, what's up?”

”I a in one hours time, if you want to come with me then hurry over here!” The voice on the receiver end seemed uneasy

”Why the hurry? Didn't you say that we'll leave at night?”
