Chapter 320: Chapter 313: Fierce (Second Update) Chapter 320: Chapter 313: Fierce (Second Update) After kicking Young Master Xiao down, Zheng Tan delivered two more kicks, preventing Young Master Xiao from standing up immediately and then stepped on his face and jumped aside. He kicked the golf club that had slipped from Young Master Xiao’s hand toward Hou Junyi.

Seeing Zheng Tan kicking Young Master Xiao, Mao Dou also charged up and bit Young Master Xiao’s leg. Of course, compared to Niu Zhuangzhuang, Mao Dou was quite gentle and did not bite as viciously as Niu Zhuangzhuang did to the thief. After biting, the dog seemed unaccustomed to biting people, and then turned to gnaw on Young Master Xiao’s trouser leg and shoes, finally getting the hang of it and biting with increasing gusto.

After jumping to the side, Zheng Tan noticed that Hou Junyi still looked bewildered, with no reaction, just stared blankly at Zheng Tan. Zheng Tan immediately glared, “Damn it, has this kid been scared stupid?” I’ve already knocked the guy down and kicked the club over to you, and you just need to pick it up and hit the enemy. Don’t you know how to take advantage of your opponent’s weakness? Haven’t you ever fought before?!

Little did Zheng Tan know that while he was kicking Young Master Xiao, Hou Junyi’s mind wasn’t filled with confusion or relief, nor was it fear-induced shock as Zheng Tan had thought, but instead a diagram of force analysis appeared. He had even guessed the approximate strength Zheng Tan had used based on Young Master Xiao’s reactions and movements, and that was why Hou Junyi was stunned—the results were illogical. How could a cat have such strength? He recalculated two, three times, and the results were the same each time.

Incredulous and dumbstruck, Alpaca’s hooves seemed to be pounding in Hou Junyi’s heart at that moment.

If Zheng Tan had known what Hou Junyi was thinking, he would have certainly run over and kicked him again. “Damn it, in such a tense moment this kid actually has time for a physics dynamics analysis!”

He must have studied until he’s gone stupid, right?!

However, soon Hou Junyi also snapped back to reality with the barking of Mao Dou, glanced at Young Master Xiao who had tried and failed to stand up several times, picked up the golf club tremblingly, and when Young Master Xiao looked over with red eyes, he gritted his teeth and swung.

Bang!

The big star got hit on the head with the club and tragically passed out.

Seeing this, Hou Junyi was scared that he might have killed someone. After waiting a while and seeing no response from the person lying on the ground, he cautiously approached, placed his finger on the pulse at Young Master Xiao’s wrist, and then heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he was just unconscious; it was good that there was no fatality. This must count as self-defense, right?

Mao Dou continued to bite Young Master Xiao’s trouser leg, shaking its head and tearing, growling lowly in vengeance for the kicks Young Master Xiao had given it earlier. But now it didn’t have much force in biting the trouser leg, no matter how much it pulled, no one was kicking it anymore.

The atmosphere temporarily eased with Young Master Xiao’s unconsciousness, allowing Hou Junyi’s tense nerves to relax slightly. However, thinking of what he had seen and surmised at the end of the corridor on the first floor, he was anxious and particularly wanted to leave this dreadful place.

Zheng Tan ignored Hou Junyi’s conflicted emotions. Seeing that Hou Junyi had knocked the person unconscious, he nodded in satisfaction, jumped up, and stepped on Young Master Xiao’s face, which had attracted countless young girls and women. Seeing that he truly didn’t react and was indeed knocked out, he approached and poked a paw inside Young Master Xiao’s pocket.

He had been curious about what was in Young Master Xiao’s pocket that kept his hand inside, and now as he fished it out, he discovered it was a small device resembling a remote control. Was it a control for some functions of the house like the windows or the doors? As many wealthy homes have started incorporating smart designs, Zheng Tan, who had once been human, had seen some of those smart home designs, and maybe it was similar here.

The remote had various symbols and patterns, which Zheng Tan couldn’t understand. He pressed it a few times but noticed nothing unusual, so he paid it no further attention.

Meanwhile, Hou Junyi, who was still catching his breath and trembling, noticed the remote control and eagerly picked it up with his free hand.

Zheng Tan planned to go upstairs to check on Fang Mengmeng and the others, paused in his steps, twitched his ears, and carefully distinguished some sounds. He then ran to the huge French window, listened again, and confirmed it was Da Mi’s cries.

The cry was different from usual, and probably many people hadn’t heard Da Mi cry like this before, but to Zheng Tan, it felt familiar. He recalled for a moment and suddenly remembered, Da Mi’s cry was similar to the one Heimi used to summon other cats. Although the cries were not exactly the same, they gave Zheng Tan a similar feeling. Perhaps, this was a kind of ability passed down from their mother, something others couldn’t learn even if they tried; they just naturally knew it, like having a trick up their sleeve, nature always has its wonders, many are the things that make others envious. At the same time, Zheng Tan had to marvel once again at the exceptional genes of this family.

While Zheng Tan was reminiscing, the nearby residents who owned cats found their pets beginning to act atypically, meowing loudly and trying to run outside.

In the room on the second floor, Fang Mengmeng and her friends managed to smash the louvers for ventilation. They let Da Mi out through the vent, and Fang Mengmeng even took off the bow from her head for Da Mi to carry to seek help, just like she had seen on TV shows.

However, the other end of the vent was blocked, and Da Mi couldn’t get out; but yelling there could still be heard loudly outside and wasn’t drowned out by the music playing. As a result, Fang Mengmeng’s calls produced an unexpected effect.

Zheng Tan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a while, then decided to turn back towards the second floor. At that moment, Hou Junyi figured out something with the remote control. After pressing a few buttons, the previously foggy floor-to-ceiling window instantly became transparent, covered only by some condensation. Zheng Tan wiped it away and saw that, on the other side of the window, several cats were active, including Lianzi, Gui Yuan, and a forest cat he had not seen for a long time. It had been caught committing a crime, injured by Zheng Tan, but eventually taken away by Ah Wu, apparently well-trained now. Since they could hear Da Mi’s calls, they clearly weren’t far from here, also confirming that Young Master Xiao indeed had serious issues.

Besides these familiar cats, there were also cats from neighborhood residents’ homes, mostly looking like expensive breeds and wearing cat tags; however, both ordinary house cats and the expensive breeds were all howling and loitering around the house.

With such unusual activity and noises, Zheng Tan believed the nearby people would come over. He already saw Hou Junyi’s father running this way.

Originally, Hou Junyi’s father was outside smoking while waiting for Hou Junyi. He had not expected to hear Da Mi’s voice, sounding different from usual, but they were familiar with Da Mi and could guess it was him; the sound came from the next house over. The two houses were about ten meters apart, and Hou Junyi’s father walked over, looked into the yard, and noticed several cats, including others he recognized from around the neighborhood.

Encountering this strange phenomenon, Hou Junyi’s father rang the doorbell and found no one answered. Realizing something was wrong, he called Hou Junyi, but got no response. So, he contacted the parents from two other families, realized none of the three children were seen, and directly called the police. The neighborhood’s security was also notified and arrived promptly.

Although Hou Junyi used the remote control to make the adjustable glass window transparent, he couldn’t find the correct buttons or solution for the doors, especially the one to the room upstairs. Possibly, there were other input commands needed. After fretting for a while and hearing knocking sounds from the other side of the glass, he looked up and saw someone outside, which almost brought Hou Junyi to tears as he continuously pounded on the floor-to-ceiling window.

Through the glass, Hou Junyi’s father, seeing his son’s state, felt extremely anxious and didn’t wait for the police or security. He ran back home to get tools.

Zheng Tan didn’t know what tools Hou Junyi’s father had brought; he just followed Hou Junyi toward the back to find cover. Then, in the next moment, he saw the entire floor-to-ceiling window shatter, dispersing not everywhere but falling in the vicinity of the window.

By the time police and security personnel arrived, Hou Junyi’s father had already cut open the door to the second-floor room with his tools.

Seeing Hou Junyi’s father, clad in work attire, gloves, and carrying a set of tools, Zheng Tan thought, these people were incredibly impressive.

When Fang Mengmeng and Chu Laiya came out, besides being a bit startled, their health was fine; only a bit of skin had been grazed off their hands—not a serious injury.

Parents were accompanying and comforting the children, who were still just kids. After such an ordeal, it was uncertain if they would suffer psychological scars. The parents wondered how to mitigate any potential negative emotions that could impact their children.

Zheng Tan looked around; Lianzi and Gui Yuan had already disappeared, likely called back by Ah Wu, who must have been nearby. With more people around, he would have taken them back. Neither the police nor the security saw any use for these cats, and as they departed, no one stopped them. Absorbed in the serious issue at hand, the police would be too occupied, and in a wealthy area such as this, who would pay attention to the cats?

The arrival of the police cars was loud. Young Master Xiao, unconscious, was taken away. In addition, Zheng Tan saw the police carry out a long object wrapped in a black bag, and he caught a faint smell of blood in the breeze.

The three children, accompanied by their parents, did not see what happened next door, which was probably for the best. Otherwise, they might have experienced even deeper psychological impacts.

Tonight, the residents of this area would not sleep peacefully. And Mr. Fang, who had received news and was rushing over, would surely be furious. (To be continued.
