Chapter 65 Cat and Fish
Meow......
A tiny cat meow sounded in the backyard of the manor.
Chen Lun followed the sound and saw a white kitten hiding under the tree and calling. It looked malnourished and trembling.
Chen Lun walked over and gently picked it up.
Staring into the little white cat's amber eyes, he felt a hint of longing and pleading. From the weak cries, he got some intermittent bits of information.
This is a kitten born to a stray cat. It suffered from the hardship of life and was abandoned by its mother. Struggling to survive under the cold and hunger, after sneaking in through the gap in the guardrail of the manor, he saw Chen Lun and inexplicably developed a great liking for this human being and wanted to get close to him and rely on him.
"Luckily for you, I happen to want to get something to eat."
Chen Lun put it in his trouser pocket, turned around and left.
afternoon.
After Chen Lun finished teaching Rebecca, he went into the study room of the villa and continued his "treasure hunt".
Butler Binoz specially ordered the maid to prepare a bowl of milk for the little white cat. After eating and drinking, it became energetic and jumped up and down on Chen Lun's table.
"Have you finished what I told you?"
Chen Lun looked away from the book in his hand and looked at the little guy at his hand.
The little white cat tilted his head in confusion, as if he didn't know what he was talking about.
"Well...it's hard for you to be a spy at such a young age."
Chen Lun pouted.
He originally wanted the little white cat to explore the situation in the villa and confirm whether Viscount Pompeii had obtained [Philippe's inheritance], but it was obviously too young to understand the complicated instructions.
"Play with you."
He stood up and continued looking for books.
There are many books in the study, but under Chen Lun's efficient search, more than half of them have been handled.
It was evening, but he still had no harvest.
Looking at the last remaining wall of books, Chen Lun sighed to himself.
"Extraordinary knowledge is indeed rare. Even in the Viscount's study, only one copy has been found..."
At this time, Binoz knocked on the door as usual and informed that it was dinner time.
Chen Lun put down the book in his hand and left with the little white cat.
On the dining table.
"Mr. Jack, I specially asked the cook to prepare a dish for you, hehe!"
Rebecca said.
She turned her head and looked at Chen Lun expectantly, her cheeks flushed.
Originally, I planned to hide it, and wait until Mr. Jack saw the dishes he liked to eat, then remind him aloud, and then leave an impression in his mind.
But Rebecca couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Oh? Thank you very much for your concern, Miss Rebecca."
Chen Lun smiled.
Rebecca cheered in her heart and couldn't wait to ask the maid to open the lid.
"Mr. Jack, this is the best haddock."
Binoz said from the side.
He understood Miss Rebecca's little thoughts and went out of his way to support her.
"Oh, I love it...Thank you very much, Miss Rebecca, you are such an understanding lady."
Chen Lun cut a small piece of fish meat, put it into his mouth, and chewed it, showing a look of enjoyment.
In fact he just swallowed it.
Rebecca was immediately elated and cast a grateful look at Floy next to Chen Lun.
If it hadn't been for Miss Floy, she wouldn't have known that Mr. Jack liked fish. Thanks to her telling her this secret, she won Mr. Jack's praise.
Come on Rebecca!
We must deepen our relationship with Miss Floy and take down Mr. Jack sooner or later!
Floy tilted his head slightly, feeling Chen Lun's bitter emotions, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Mr. Jack, eat it quickly, it will affect the taste if it gets cold..."
Rebecca urged.
"Ahem, of course."
Chen Lun secretly thought something was wrong, and slightly hooked his fingers under the table, emitting light.
Meow!
The little white cat jumped up, jumped on the table, and then took the fish off the plate.
The movements were done in one go, completely treating other people as nothing.
"..."
Rebecca was stunned, as were Butler Binoz and Viscount Pompeii and his wife.
"Aha! It seems that even a kitten can't resist Miss Rebecca's feelings..."
Chen Lun chuckled, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Hearing what he said, Rebecca's depressed mood improved slightly, but she was just secretly sorry.
……
A week passed quickly.
A sensational news spread throughout Amber City——
Congressman Daniel was assassinated!
Countless residents were outraged that such a good man who dared to speak out and do things for the common people was brutally murdered!
"Protest! Amber City Security Office does nothing!"
"It must be Congressman Daniel's proposals and ideas that touched the interests of the nobles. They sent people to assassinate the Congressman! The murderer must be severely punished!"
A large number of residents held signs and demonstrated in the streets like a long queue.
Many workers even went on strike. Wearing dirty uniforms, they joined the team and shouted at the top of their lungs.
But most of this happens in outer cities.
The inner city was still peaceful. Although Congressman Daniel's death was shocking, it only frightened the powerful, and many middle-class people clapped their hands and cheered.
There was an incident at the Garden Hotel some time ago, in which Representative Lawson's son was killed, and now another assassination incident occurred, resulting in the death of Representative Daniel.
The powerful felt uneasy, so they secretly exerted pressure on the police station, hoping to improve the security of the inner city.
A large amount of tax money is used to support the police and guards every year. How can they be allowed to live in fear all day long in high positions?
Only a handful of powerful people learned some unknown inside stories through the channels of special department shelters.
They breathed a sigh of relief and spoke cautiously. As long as the matter didn't concern themselves, they were actually safe.
Outer city.
Xiashuitan Flower and Bird Tavern.
It's very unusual here today, it's completely empty without a single customer.
The proprietress with heavy makeup leaned against the corner, her eyes widened, vomiting blood, and a big hole opened in her chest and abdomen.
Apparently she had been killed.
The ground in the inner courtyard was covered with corpses, all of them were members of the Iron Fist Gang.
A young man with brown hair stood upright at the door of the building, with a headless corpse kneeling at his feet.
The neck of the headless corpse had jagged wounds, as if its head had been bitten off by a giant beast.
"First...Sir, I don't know! I really don't know the identity of that person!"
A young man from the Iron Fist Gang crawled in front of the young man, terrified.
This strange man broke in and started killing without saying a word. Even the boss Gary was killed by him with one move. At that time, it was just a glimpse. The other party seemed to just raise his hand and the head of Mr. Gary disappeared!
Fear spread in his heart, and he did not dare to lie and told everything he knew.
"This is the man who killed Daniel's butler and took away some of the craftsmen...?"
The young man looked forward and murmured.
After killing Daniel, Sir Grease asked him to take over Daniel's unfinished business, so Vigre came to the water beach.
He moved his gaze slightly to the headless corpse at his feet.
"Control the gang leader and find out about Viscount Pompeii and 'Dolly'?
It seems that the extraordinary person in Pompeii Manor is him..."
The young man looked thoughtful and murderous.
"When was I exposed...? It shouldn't be, is it a supernatural means of divination?"
He pondered for a moment and finally decided to go back to Pompeii Manor.
Everything there has long been regarded as one's own, and no matter who this unknown enemy is, no one is allowed to covet it. (End of chapter)
