Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Cat 4

“Mom and Dad said they want to sell the place we currently live in, and with a bit more money, get us a place in a better neighborhood, with more sunlight, a better environment, and an elevator. What do you think?” asked Jiang Chengle.

Dong Jiaxi said, “Mom and Dad are getting old, it’s really inconvenient for them to climb up and down. Since we’re basically living together now, why not just upgrade directly to a larger place and live together, it’s more convenient to take care of each other.”

“Actually, I was thinking the same. They’re just worried you wouldn’t get used to living in the same house.”

Dong Jiaxi laughed, “What’s there to get used to? We’re practically living together now, just with two doors between us.”

“Alright, let’s discuss it when we get home tonight. They’ll definitely be happy to know you’re thinking this way,” Jiang Chengle was also a bit pleased, thinking he was a very fortunate person with a stable job, harmonious family, and a pair of lovely twins.

Suddenly, he sighed, “I heard Uncle came to borrow money again. This time, Mom and Dad didn’t lend it. It’s just a bottomless pit.”

“Jiang Wang is really hopeless. I don’t understand what Uncle is thinking. Clearly, constantly bailing him out won’t make him change. It’s good that Mom and Dad finally made up their minds. If they keep helping, who knows when it’ll ever end.”

“They say it’s a loan, but it’s basically a gift,” Jiang Chengle shook his head, “With Uncle’s situation, can he really pay it back?”

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this today. We’re taking the kids out for fun, as long as we didn’t lend the money,” Dong Jiaxi chimed in.

The two of them took the kids to the car and drove away.

Jiang Yingshan, who was originally smoking in a corner, stepped out, his face flushed and gloomy.

Jiang Yingfeng and Wei Jianhua had finished breakfast; Jiang Yingfeng was collecting the trash, and Wei Jianhua was hanging the laundry. They planned to go out for some activities later. Elders feel uncomfortable staying indoors all day and prefer to go out for a walk, to keep their body active and relaxed.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Unnoticed, Ah Chen had already jumped onto the shoe cabinet, concealing herself with a cloth bag.

Upon hearing the knock again, she opened her eyes, alert to the door.

Could it be this time?

The entrusted cat, while playing in the neighborhood, suddenly caught the scent of blood. When it came up, it saw six members of the Jiang Family lying in pools of blood, with Jiang Yingshan sitting dazedly with a blood-stained cleaver in his hand.

By then, it was already evening.

Previously, Jiang Chengle and his wife took their kids out, which means Jiang Yingshan, after killing Jiang Yingfeng and Wei Jianhua, was waiting in the house for them to return to kill them all.

Jiang Yingfeng, collecting the trash, opened the door and was briefly stunned to see it was Jiang Yingshan, “Brother, is there anything else?”

“I left something here,” Jiang Yingshan smiled slightly.

“Let me help you find it,” Jiang Yingfeng turned back into the house, completely unguarded against his elder brother, without knowing that Jiang Yingshan held a cleaver behind his back.

As he turned around, Jiang Yingshan slashed towards Jiang Yingfeng’s head.

In an instant, a small figure leapt from the shoe cabinet onto Jiang Yingshan’s head, scratching his face with a paw.

It was Ah Chen taking action.

Jiang Yingshan screamed, finally causing Jiang Yingfeng to turn around.

Seeing the cleaver coming at him, he was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly ran forward, disbelief in his eyes.

Holding his pained face, Jiang Yingshan wasn’t giving up on murder, wielding the cleaver and chasing after them.

Things had already gone this far.

They clearly have money, enough to afford a bigger house, yet they refuse to help his only son, wanting to see Ah Wang have his fingers chopped off.

They even want to send Ah Wang to prison, to ruin his life.

If that’s the case, then none of them should live.

All should die!

A person accustomed to manual labor, wielding a knife against a person, holds considerable lethality, the cleaver swinging fiercely with a whooshing sound.

Jiang Yingfeng could only dodge, grabbing whatever he could to throw at Jiang Yingshan without giving much thought to anything else.

“Heavens!” Wei Jianhua, hanging clothes, saw the situation, grabbing a clothes pole and rushing over. Simultaneously, she shouted for help and murder, her voice loud enough for others to hear immediately in the old neighborhood.

At this moment, Jiang Yingfeng also grabbed a chair to shield himself.

The cleaver struck the chair, making an ear-piercing sound.

Seeing that things weren’t going well, Ah Chen thought the couple might now understand that Jiang Yingshan was determined to kill them.

Without further hesitation, she leapt again, grabbing onto Jiang Yingshan’s arm.

Jiang Yingshan wanted to chop at her, but she clawed at his hand again, making the cleaver fall to the ground.

Landing, she used a cat’s paw to bat the cleaver away.

Jiang Yingfeng and Wei Jianhua couldn’t spare a moment to marvel at the cat saving them as they moved to the doorway.

Uncertain if they could outfight him, they decided to run out.

Taking the opportunity, Wei Jianhua opened the door, and the couple ran off. People were already coming up from below and soon pinned Jiang Yingshan down, with the police arriving shortly after.

The scene was chaotic, and Jiang Yingshan appeared somewhat disoriented now.

Jiang Yingfeng and Wei Jianhua held hands tightly, tears silently streaming down their faces, filled with sadness, pain, and the relief of having survived a disaster. It was still hard to believe that the seemingly honest and straightforward Jiang Yingshan could have been the one who tried to kill them.

They quickly searched for the tabby cat’s presence, but unfortunately didn’t see it.

“It was a cat that saved us, it must have run off,” Wei Jianhua said, and Jiang Yingfeng nodded in agreement.

It was the particularly aloof tabby cat from the neighborhood, one they had seen many times before and even fed. Their entire family was fond of that cat. It used to come to their window, and they would give it something to eat.

Unexpectedly, this cat ended up saving their lives.

If not for its timely appearance, the couple would surely have died, and as for their son’s family, they really didn’t know what would have happened.

Jiang Yingshan had been so ruthless, showing no mercy.

Jiang Yingfeng couldn’t fathom that after lending money so many times, just one refusal would make his own brother try to kill him.

He was deeply grieved.

This time, everyone believed the cat intervened, since Jiang Yingshan’s hands and face bore cat scratches.

Having received the call, Jiang Chengle’s family hurried back and embraced tightly in relief.

Fortunately, everyone was alright.

Towards Jiang Yingshan, they would no longer harbor any kindness or sympathy.

Afterwards, Jiang Yingfeng’s family roamed the neighborhood with cat cans and freeze-dried treats, meowing in search.

Ah Chen watched from the rooftop as they crouched and looked around for her tirelessly until she finally appeared.

Forget it, let them take those things and distribute them to other cats.

If she didn’t show up, they would certainly keep looking.

Because of the incident, Jiang Yingfeng’s family became acquainted with Jiang Tianqi and Zheng Hongfeng.

Meanwhile, everyone in the neighborhood learned about their exceptionally spiritual cat.

Some had ulterior motives, but Ah Chen wasn’t an ordinary cat and naturally wouldn’t be deceived.

Unless there was a reason, she rarely showed herself.

Time flew by, and another three years passed.

On this day, Ah Chen arrived outside the kitchen of a household, sniffing the aroma wafting from the pot. The family was simmering soup, and it smelled fairly appetizing.

Accommodating a mother and daughter, the mother named Yang Runxian and daughter named Nie Han, who had recently taken her college entrance exam. She scored an impressive 678 points and had been accepted into her dream university. Currently on vacation, Nie Han was still sleeping in.

Yang Runxian was brewing the soup this holiday with the intention of nourishing her daughter, hence she began the process early in the morning. Over time, Nie Han, previously small and thin, now had a fuller face and looked much healthier.

Yang Runxian entered the kitchen unaware of Ah Chen outside the window.

She glanced at the soup, suddenly patted her head, muttering, “I’m out of salt.”

“Might as well buy some vegetables while I’m at it.”

The vegetable market was right across the street, very close by.

With basket and keys in hand, along with the trash to dispose of, Yang Runxian left the house, very confident about the soup simmering in the pot.

[No matter where you’re going or for how long, once you step out, regardless of how much water is in the pot, always remember to turn off the stove.] 997’s voice suddenly rang out, [Otherwise, if tragedy strikes, regretting will be too late, right, Host?]

Ah Chen slipped in through the gap in the window, nodding: [Well put for public awareness!]
