Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Cat 1

Late at night, half-past one.

Jiang Tianqi stretched lazily at her workstation, then stood up and twisted her body, feeling stiff everywhere. Then, she shut down the computer.

In fact, it’s not usually this busy; she recently took on two big projects, and now everyone’s busy at the company. Women work like men, men work like beasts.

But her work for tonight was considered done, and she shouldn’t have to work overtime until this hour after tonight.

Jiang Tianqi yawned. If she kept going like this every day, she wouldn’t be able to bear it, even if the project bonuses were lucrative—it would be exhausting. Ever since starting work, she hadn’t enjoyed any good outings.

Once the project is completely finished, she must take her annual leave.

If she keeps working hard for another three to five years, she should be able to buy a small apartment in this city, and then she could find a less busy job, gradually saving money for her future.

She doesn’t particularly like such hectic days. It seems like aside from working, eating, and sleeping, there are no other activities. Living like this for a lifetime is really a bit too monotonous.

Yes, when the time comes, she wants to raise a little cat.

She thinks little cats are very cute, and she’s already decided that when the time comes, she’ll go to the old neighborhood where she currently lives and kidnap one. There’s no need to buy one.

There are plenty of little cats in the old neighborhood, all kinds, and she likes every one of them.

However, she’s taken a fancy on a particularly beautiful tabby cat, but it is the least friendly. She tried everything, bought the best cat snacks, but didn’t manage to trick that tabby cat into coming to her. Alas, cats are too smart sometimes, not even a single hair touched.

With hope for the future, Jiang Tianqi picked up her bag, said goodbye to her colleagues still working overtime, and quickly left.

In order to save money for a little home, she’s cautious with spending, so she rides an electric bike to and from work instead.

Luckily, she rides an electric bike; otherwise, working overtime so late means she’d need to take a taxi. Waiting for a late-night bus route would mean waiting for who knows how long. Even if she caught it, she’d still have to walk a bit after getting off to reach the neighborhood.

So, the electric bike is more convenient.

After buying an apartment, she’ll consider buying a small car for commuting, then she can take her cats and dogs out to play. Yes, she wants to raise a dog in addition to a cat. Having both a cat and a dog—that’s the perfect life.

To reach the neighborhood where she lives, she needs to go through a somewhat dark and secluded alley.

On the wall of the alley, there’s a cat standing, that’s Ah Chen.

In this world, she’s a tabby cat.

When she received this task, she wasn’t surprised at all. After all, in the vast universe, the commissioner could be anything. However, the commissioned cat this time was really just an ordinary tabby cat, not even having gained intelligence, still possessing only simple feline thoughts.

Its wish was to help those who had fed it, its wild pooper-scoopers.

In the original plot, the commissioned cat was free and roamed the area at night, preferring the nighttime over the day, finding freedom in its actions.

But when it jumped onto the wall here, it smelled the scent of human blood; cats are curious, it jumped over to look and discovered it was one of the wild pooper-scoopers who had fed it, named Jiang Tianqi.

A working woman, often working overtime, mostly until ten or eleven. But recently, her overtime had gotten later, mostly getting home after midnight.

The commissioned cat jumped down, Jiang Tianqi was already without a heartbeat.

Jiang Tianqi’s death made it feel very sad; the best cat snack it had ever eaten was given by Jiang Tianqi. But it had arrived late, didn’t see who had killed Jiang Tianqi. Sadly, it was just a cat. Even if it saw who killed Jiang Tianqi, what could it do?

Maybe do something?

When the murderer harmed Jiang Tianqi, they must have panicked; if it jumped down and fiercely scratched the person, maybe Jiang Tianqi could have been rescued.

Before dawn, someone discovered the situation here.

It heard those police officers say Jiang Tianqi was knocked unconscious, then assaulted, and finally killed.

The commissioned cat thought, then it should have come even earlier, jumped out when the perpetrator was about to make a move, increasing Jiang Tianqi’s chances of survival.

The lights here are gray, there’s even a pitch-black alley beside it.

There aren’t residential buildings on either side, one side is a vacant lot from a training school, and the other side is a vegetable market.

At this time, hardly anyone passes through here, many blind spots.

Under the dim lights, Ah Chen extended her cat paws and revealed her sharp claws, wondering whether to scratch the perpetrator’s face first or their neck?

Must scratch him several times.

Have to crush the perpetrator’s balls, remove a criminal tool.

Give him an unforgettable experience.

Make him feel there’s no interest in living this life.

[Being a cat is pretty good.] Ah Chen suddenly said.

The host suddenly spoke with itself, 997 naturally asked enthusiastically: [Why, host?]

[Just scratch that person randomly, don’t need to explain anything. People will only praise you, saying how spirited a cat it is!] Ah Chen said happily.

was silent; the host was quite skilled at acting like a cat.

Ah Chen didn’t speak anymore, she saw a shadow in the alley and hid in the darkness; the person was holding a wooden stick.

Is it the perpetrator?

In the distance, the sound of an electric bike approached; Ah Chen sat on the wall, gazing into the distance, soon spotting Jiang Tianqi.

Just as she was riding over, the person hiding in the dark rushed out with a stick, blocking her path, causing Jiang Tianqi to fall off the bike. Before she could cry out in surprise, the shadow swung the stick fiercely toward her head.

Stunned by everything, Jiang Tianqi’s mind went blank, forgetting how to react.

At this moment, Ah Chen jumped down from the wall, a fierce cat paw scratching the shadow’s face without mercy.

“Ah—”

The shadow let out a tragic scream, abandoning attacking Jiang Tianqi, covering his bleeding face with one hand.

He glared at the tabby cat that landed on the side, looking ferocious, swung the stick to hit her.

Jiang Tianqi finally reacted and shouted, “Cat, watch out!”

But she forgot how fast cats were; if they wanted to run, no one could catch them.

The shadow was furious at failing to hit the cat, turned to Jiang Tianqi. She was already prepared to call the police; he initially wanted to have fun but now decided to kill her.

That damned cat, he’d find a chance to kill it too.

But as he raised the stick to strike Jiang Tianqi, Ah Chen leaped again, clawing at his neck with two paws, forcing him to abandon his attack on Jiang Tianqi. Feeling retreating within, since Jiang Tianqi was already on the phone with the police.

Without hesitation, he turned and ran.

But Ah Chen pounced on him, pushed him to the ground, stomping on him repeatedly, hearing something burst.

This is a city, and the police arrived quickly.

When they saw a cat standing on the perpetrator’s face, they were somewhat stunned.

But it did look quite cool!

Ah Chen saw Jiang Tianqi would have no further danger, jumped onto the wall in an elegant stride, and swiftly leaped away.

Those below watched the scene, suddenly feeling she resembled a deity in the night.
