Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-One: The Meeting of The White Cat and Hamster I (1/2)

Chu Ge waited for the last funeral session of the day to end before he stopped Yan Jin from leaving.

“You have been cadging a meal for this long and you’re still not done yet?” Yan Jin still had the mood to joke.

“You can’t do this; you really shouldn’t.” Chu Ge was worn out from worrying for Yan Jin. He had just called the few friends that the chairman had, but unfortunately they had been somewhat affected by the Yan family’s dirty tricks and could not make it in time to appear. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and return for a second round of fighting later.

“I will act appropriately; it won’t be too excessive.”

“You don’t think this is too excessive?”

“Compared to what they’ve done, not at all.” Yan Jin sighed as he continued: “No matter what price they pay, it can never be compared to a life.”

Chu Ge’s mind thought quickly, and an idea popped into his mind: “I’ll get you another hamster, okay? You have the cage, food, and everything after all. It would be a waste to leave it there for nothing.”

“I won’t keep any pets anymore. Never ever.” Yan Jin’s tone was slightly depressed as he took a few steps forward. He tapped on the giant coffin that was buried in all kinds of beautiful flowers: “Also, there isn’t any cage left.”

Yan Jin shifted the lid of the coffin to the side with both hands. He shared a look at Chu Ge which the doctor understood, and he moved to lift the other side of the lid.

The coffin had a hidden button which were switched on by Yan Jin earlier. The hundred kilogram lid was not too difficult for the two adult men.

Along with a dull thud, the lid was lifted up to reveal the precious treasure that would be incinerated four days later.

If there was a third person right now, they would probably be puzzled.

Because lying in that coffin was not the hamster that had passed in the accident. Instead, there was a large cage, mini-sized clothing stacked up neatly, a cradle, stairs, tomato-shaped toys, a little yellow duckling…

And there was even an iPad with a name written on it.

Light and gentle flower petals rained down like the rain, as if they were playing the silent finale of a symphony.

Chu Ge felt depressed.

In the past eight hours, he constantly felt the overflowing anger from Yan Jin as if it had been physically there, spreading into every corner of the hall.

However, in this moment, he finally felt the equally matched sadness emanating from that suffocating fury.

When the lid was sealed again, the same dull thud echoed. It was like a deep sigh that came from the bottom of the heart that could not be vocalized.

“Whatever suits you.” Chu Ge waved his hand: “Do as you please.”

Chu Ge who was despairing in the face of the setback was just about to leave when someone walked over hurriedly. He said, “Sir.”

“This is Lawyer Hu; he’s a friend I met from overseas. He opened his law firm after returning to the country. A busy man.” Yan Jin gave a short introduction to both of them: “This is my family doctor; his surname is Chu. He has a position in a hospital, and you can see him if you need help next time.”

“I’m flattered.” Lawyer Hu wiped the sweat off his forehead: “Nice to meet you Dr. Chu. I have some matters that I need to speak with Mr. Yan, could you…”

“Chu Ge is my friend, there’s no need to avoid him.”

“Oh, I see, my apologies. Then, I shall speak my mind.” Lawyer Hu took out a file and a small notebook: “The arrangements that you have instructed me to take care of are basically in order. Many of them were caught off-guard by your sudden revolt. They suffered disastrous damage in an instant making it very easy for us to plant our men. The Yan family- pardon me, your father, seems to be planning to resist till the end. There may be some minor problems to take them all together, but I’ve made an arrangement to deal with them. I believe it’s only a matter of time.”

“Well done.”

Such a terrifying topic would cause a heart attack to any listener, but thankfully the listener was Chu Ge who had experienced many violent storms. While he did not have a fit, he did feel his teeth aching.

Of course they would be caught off-guard. It was a world war that had begun with a hamster. There weren’t many causes that could be more surprising than that.

The large stockholders of the Yan family whose properties had been annexed never understood till their last breath that they did not lose because they had failed in getting rid of the Yan family grandchild. Instead, they lost because they accidentally killed a hamster.

“Oh right, regarding that main culprit of the car accident.” Lawyer Hu saw the little note he had made at a corner of the page and mentioned it: “He refused to admit that there was a mastermind, and neither was he willing to be of use to us.”

“That’s not for him to decide,” Yan Jin said as he browsed through the content of the file: “Use some means on him. There’re no unbroken eggs under a rolled over nest. Regardless, if he was being made use of unintentionally, or if he was used willingly, he did something that he shouldn’t have done. For that, he will have to pay the price.”

“I’d say that that person seems a little dumb. He may really be an innocent party.” Chu Ge recalled the patient whom he had met in the hospital. For once, he decided to say something ‘good’ for another person: “Why not just give the honest man a straightforward blow and end him off quickly?”

“Death?” Yan Jin closed the file in his hand as his tone lingered with a tinge of danger:

“I cannot let such a dirty thing into the place where Fishy is.”

……

Xiao Yu sneezed several times in the chairman’s office of SI. For a moment, he was in a daze as he wondered if someone was thinking of him or talking bad about him.

He was quite respectful towards Chairman Zhou. In the past, whenever he was called to the chairman’s office, he would not even dare to breath loudly. It was the first time he had done something as bad as sneezing in front of his chairman, coincidentally, it also happened to be the last time.

Because, after today, Chairman Zhou would no longer be his superior, and Xiao Yu would no longer be part of SI.

“…… It’s because of employees like you that I constantly lose to Yan Jin.” Between the two people who were brought to the chairman’s office, Zhou Jinrong was comforting Lin Zhou with kind words and had arranged for him to be sent to the first aid room to look at his wounds. However, when dealing with Xiao Yu, he began to scold him without caring about the rights and wrongs of the matter: “You don’t even care about the company. What trash did you do for the Autumn Release Conference? You were unwilling to provide us with good designs and instead use such rubbish work to brush us off? You seemed to care more about your own prospects and had been planning for the Star Designers Cup, didn’t you? SI cannot afford to keep a person like you. If you had left earlier, our company wouldn’t even be in such a state.”

Using rubbish designs to brush off the company? Using better designs to enter the competition?

What a joke.
