Revenge of the Garfield - CH 35

Li Zhenruo thought about Song Jun’s senior brother and wondered what he was like.

Before, he always imagined that Song Jun would be an immortal Taoist with a satin shirt and long hair. But now that he has seen Song Jun, his imagination has been completely shattered, and he wondered if his senior brother also will be that way.

However, Song Jun carried Li Zhenruo and walked directly into the first floor, and finally stopped at the door of a somewhat dark room, saying, “Senior brother is inside, it is not convenient to enter now.”

Li Zhenruo looked up and saw the three words “anatomy room” on the sign hanging on the door. He was suddenly chilled from head to tail. He felt a sense of relief because he felt that his imagination was still too limited.

Song Jun bent down and wanted to put Li Zhenruo on the ground, but Li Zhenruo grabbed his legs and climbed up. It was safer to stay in Song Jun’s arms.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, a man in a white coat and a mask came out. He walked while taking off his gloves and threw them in the trash can next to him. As soon as he looked up, he saw Song Jun and asked, “Is something wrong?”

Li Zhenruo saw that he reached out and pulled the mask off, revealing a handsome face. It was clearly a serene and calm expression, but it revealed a strong sense of oppression.

Song Jun smiled and said, “Senior Brother Xia!”

The man he called Senior Brother Xia lowered his head, and looked at the cat in his arms. He suddenly stretched out his hand, picked it up, and threw it aside.

Li Zhenruo didn’t react for a while, and he was a little dumbfounded.

Song Jun asked strangely, “Senior brother, what are you doing?”

That Senior Brother Xia said, “Don’t hold other cats.”

After he said that, he left without looking back.

Song Jun quickly followed and beckoned Li Zhenruo to follow him.

When following the senior brother Xia upstairs, Song Jun whispered to Li Zhenruo that senior brother Xia’s name was Xia Hongshen. He was a teacher of the school’s forensic pathology major, and Song Jun himself was a doctoral student majoring in genetics.

Li Zhenruo wanted to ask him: Shouldn’t forensic doctors be atheists? Was it really appropriate for you to talk about something mystical?

Xia Hongshen went to his upstairs office on his own. As Song Jun took Li Zhenruo to follow up, Li Zhenruo felt a strong sense of oppression again.

He also didn’t understand what was going on. If he has to describe it, it was the animal’s instinctual sense of danger. When encountering an animal stronger than themselves, which may prey on them, it reminded you to run for your life quickly.

Li Zhenruo just stretched out his head and went in to take a peek.

Xia Hongshen sat at the desk without raising his head and said, “With a face that big, you think I can’t see it if you hide?”

Li Zhenruo was somewhat hurt for a while.

Song Jun beckoned him in, and said to Xia Hongshen, “Xiao Feng brought it here, saying it’s Boss Luo’s friend.”

Xia Hongshen raised his head slightly, “Luo Fei’s friend?”

Song Jun whispered, “We still owe Boss Luo a lot of debt, senior brother, think about it carefully!”

Xia Hongshen then hooked his fingers at Li Zhenruo, “Come here.”

Li Zhenruo walked in cautiously and jumped onto Xia Hongshen’s desk with hesitation. He then walked all the way to Xia Hongshen’s side.

Xia Hongshen lifted his hand and touched the top of Li Zhenruo’s head, and Li Zhenruo felt a warm breath.

Later, Xia Hongshen took his hand away and said, “There is a bit of spiritual power, but it is too thin.” After he said that, he seemed to look at Li Zhenruo carefully for a while, “Song Jun, what do you think?”

Song Jun stood in front of the desk and gently stroked Li Zhenruo’s back. He then said, “Xiao Feng said that it once transformed into a human form when it was in heat. According to the cat itself, it was the human soul attached to this cat. It was not clear what exactly happened.”

Xia Hongshen took out a flashlight from the drawer and said to Li Zhenruo, “Open your mouth.” After Li Zhenruo opened his mouth, Xia Hongshen shone the flashlight inside.

Song Jun couldn’t help but wonder, “What do you see?”

Li Zhenruo also seemed to be bewildered.

Xia Hongshen said, “I see what brand of cat food it eats, but I don’t know if it’s good or not.”

Li Zhenruo, “…”

Xia Hongshen turned off the flashlight and threw it aside. He leaned back on the seat, and said, “The spiritual power should be from the owner of this body, and it has nothing to do with the soul. I guess it’s because the spiritual power is too strong during the estrus period, which caused the fluctuation of spiritual power. Since the soul had some lingering regret, it took a human form.”

Obsession? Li Zhenruo thought to himself that he did have some obsession, and could not let go of his feelings and hatred in the human world.

Song Jun frowned, looked at Li Zhenruo for a while, and said inexplicably, “But this is an overseas cat…”

Xia Hongshen said, “Next time you reincarnate, put more heart into it and you will be able to transform into a foreigner too.”

Song Jun ignored him and asked, “What will happen to him? Will he suddenly become a human again because of his estrus?”

Xia Hong looked at Li Zhenruo deeply and asked him, “What do you want?”

Li Zhenruo had no way to speak. He wanted to say that he wished he could control this ability and change his form between human and cat at will so that he could not only enter and leave the Li family at will but also have the ability to investigate some things.

All the thoughts finally turned into one word, “Meow!”

In the end, it turned out that Xia Hongshen actually understood, he said, “Yes, but it’s not easy.”

Li Zhenruo’s eyes opened wide.

Xia Hongshen said, “I can give you spiritual power to keep you in human form, but it is temporary after all, since the spiritual power will be consumed. If you want to have that kind of ability, you have to improve your own spiritual power.”

“Meow?” What to do?

Xia Hongshen leaned forward slightly and said to Li Zhenruo, “Money.”

Li Zhenruo squinted his round eyes, and restrained the contempt in his heart. He asked, “Meow?” How much?

Xia Hongshen touched his chin with a deep finger, glanced at Song Jun, and said, “500 million.”

Song Jun immediately said, “Senior brother, don’t make trouble.”

Li Zhenruo sighed, thinking that this Xia Hongshen was just talking nonsense, and Li Zhenruo didn’t know if he really had that ability. So he bargained with him, “Meow—” I don’t have that much money, make it less!

Xia Hongshen was looking at Song Jun again.

Song Jun couldn’t help but said, “Senior brother, please help him. Where could this cat get the money?”

Xia Hongshen tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and then said, “I’ll give you a discount. Five thousand. Don’t bargain anymore. Just find someone else if you can’t afford it.”

Li Zhenruo was very doubtful about whether this Xia Hongshen here was powerful, he sounded like a swindler. But even if Xia Hongshen was a medium, he was the only life-saving straw that Li Zhenruo could catch at present. Five thousand yuan was not much. Although he really can’t get it, he still has a master.

Song Jun next to him wanted to persuade Xia Hongshen, but Li Zhenruo patted the table with his paw, “Meow!” It’s a deal!

Song Jun was a little surprised by Li Zhenruo’s boldness.

However, Xia Hongshen nodded and said to him, “Go back and wait for my call, and when the time comes, hand over the money.”

“Meow~” Li Zhenruo quickly explained his current situation. He couldn’t answer Xia Hongshen’s phone call, and he couldn’t hand the money to Xia Hongshen. He has done all the things he could do, now he had to rely on Li Zhenran’s help. He hoped that Xia Hongshen could communicate it to Li Zhenran directly.

Xia Hongshen propped his head on one hand, and asked Li Zhenruo curiously, “Who is your master? How much does he know about you?”

Li Zhenruo told Xia Hongshen that his master only knew that he had changed into a human form when he was in estrus, but he did not know that there was someone else’s soul living in his body.

Xia Hong thought for a while, “Is he not surprised or afraid?”

Li Zhenruo was taken aback by his question. He recalled that Li Zhenran should have been very sceptical at first, but after a long time, he gradually believed it. It was something weird for sure, but Li Zhenran didn’t like to express himself. Many times Li Zhenruo didn’t know what he was thinking. As for if he was afraid, it seems that he never felt that Li Zhenran was afraid of anything.

He didn’t know what Li Zhenran thought of him, maybe he thought he was a cat demon, and then he accepted this fact calmly.

Xia Hongshen said to Li Zhenruo, “It’s better not to let too many people know about us, including your master.”

Li Zhenruo was slightly startled. He was shocked to find himself almost completely defenceless against Li Zhenran and even felt that there should not be any problem telling Li Zhenran these things.

However, Xia Hongshen and these people didn’t seem to be simple. They don’t want to expose some things to others so casually. If he wasn’t a cat, perhaps Xia Hongshen wouldn’t even be here to talk to him so much.

Li Zhenruo was a little distressed for a while, and he said to Xia Hongshen, “Meow…” Without the help of Li Zhenran, he could not have handed over and paid 5000 yuan to Xia Hongshen

Xia Hongshen seemed to be a little displeased. After thinking for a long time, he glanced at Song Jun again, and finally said, “For the sake of your big face and round eyes and your happy-go-lucky look, sign an IOU and remember when you have money, give it to me.”

Li Zhenruo feels that having a happy-go-lucky look was not really a compliment.

But to Xia Hongshen’s request, he nodded unequivocally, “Meow!”

He really needed the ability to move freely now, but this ability was the thing he couldn’t do. He had to resort to Xia Hongshen’s help, no matter what kind of request Xia Hongshen made.

Xia Hongshen took a piece of white paper, picked up a pen and wrote on it. Then looked up and asked Li Zhenruo, “Name?”

Li Zhenruo hesitated and told him that his name was Tuanzi.

Xia Hong looked at him deeply, “Your real name.”

Li Zhenruo was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and confessed his name.

Xia Hongshen didn’t react, and just wrote his name on the paper, but Song Jun, who had been watching, said, “Huh? You are Li Zhenruo?”

“You know him?” Xia Hongshen asked.

Song Jun said, “Li family’s Yunlin. Li Jianglin’s son that died in an accident some time ago. Didn’t you watch the news?”

Xia Hongshen said, “Don’t pay attention to that. If you have time to read those, why not think about your doctoral dissertation.”

Song Jun was silent for a while.

After Xia Hongshen finished writing, he threw the paper to Li Zhenruo for him to read. Li Zhenruo was a little nervous and said to Xia Hongshen, “Meow meow?” Can you not leak my information to anyone?

Xia Hongshen said, “You can rest assured that no one will know, as long as you have not leaked information about us to anyone.”

Li Zhenruo nodded quickly.

He looked at the IOU1 carefully, in addition to writing his deal with Xia Hongshen, there was also the consequences to be borne for leaking the secret. It looked a bit scary, but Li Zhenruo was not worried. He raised his head to find a pen.

Xia Hongshen said to him, “Press the paw print.”

Li Zhenruo raised his front paws, looked at his own paws, and then shook his head from side to side to find the ink pad.

Unexpectedly, Xia Hongshen grabbed his paw, and a bloodstain appeared when his fingers pass over it, and then said to him, “With blood.”

Just now, Li Zhenruo clearly saw that Xia Hongshen’s fingertips turned into sharp claws, and the fur was dark black.

He couldn’t pay attention to the pain in his paws, and while the blood wasn’t dry, he neatly pressed his paw prints, then raised his paws and licked them hard.

Xia Hongshen reached out and pinched the IOU, and with a flick in the air, a flame suddenly ignited, burning the IOU into ashes.

Li Zhenruo was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to ask any questions, he heard Xia Hongshen say, “I have your name and bloody palm print, you can’t escape no matter what. Be honest.”

Li Zhenruo said: I didn’t even want to run anywhere.

After Xia Hongshen finished these things, he raised his hand and said to Song Jun, “See off the guest.”

Li Zhenruo quickly grabbed the table with his claws, and the injured claws hurt for a while. He wanted to say that he didn’t have a phone, and how could Xia Hongshen contact him.

Xia Hongshen said, “I will find you, don’t worry.”

In the afternoon, Li Zhenruo was handed back to Li Zhenran by Feng Junyuan.

When he took the cat from Feng Junyuan, Li Zhenran couldn’t help but ask, “Doctor Feng, is there a way in the end?”

Feng Junyuan shook his head, “I don’t know either, I don’t have that ability.”

Li Zhenran glanced down at Li Zhenruo and knew that he probably couldn’t ask anything. So he nodded to Feng Junyuan, grabbed Li Zhenruo’s collar and threw him into the car.

Li Zhenruo rolled forward in the rear seat and almost hit the opposite door. As he saw Li Zhenran sit in the car and close the door, he was a little angry and jumped up to the front passenger seat.

Li Zhenran ignored him but started to call Luo Fei as soon as he got in the car.

It was unlikely for Li Zhenran to be so rude to Luo Fei, so he just asked, “Luo Fei, tell me the truth, who is that Doctor Feng?”

Luo Fei smiled and said to Li Zhenran, “He’s not a bad person, you can rest assured that they won’t do anything to your cat.”

Li Zhenran was silent for a while. Li Zhenruo couldn’t help turning his head to look at him, and heard him say to Luo Fei, “Are there any demons in this world?”

Luo Fei said to him, “What do you think?”

Li Zhenran said, “If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t deny its existence.”

Luo Fei said with a smile, “If it were me, I would regard it as fate.”

Afterwards, they didn’t say much. They just exchanged some pleasantries and hung up the phone.

The driver drove back home, Li Zhenruo scurried back to the back row. He waited until Li Zhenran opened the door and immediately got down himself.

Just as he got out of the car, he noticed that there was a huge shadow covering his back. Something grabbed his neck and staggered away with him.

Li Zhenruo didn’t realize what was going on, and could only hear Li Zhenran shouting, “Zhu Kai!”

After that, he was carried far away to the small grass patch next to the swimming pool before he was put down. When he turned his head, he saw Zhu Kai’s Erhuang.

Erhuang opened his mouth and panted with a happy look on his face. It has probably been looking for the round-faced cat at home to play with it for a long time.

Zhu Kai heard that Erhuang took away Li Zhenran’s cat, so he shouted, “Erhuang, take the cat back!”

Erhuang heard the master call it and immediately turned around to look.

As soon as Li Zhenruo heard that it was going to take him back, he was so frightened that he jumped up from the grass and ran towards Li Zhenran. He was frightened by Erhuang. Anyone who was suddenly whisked away roughly by a large thing would probably be nervous. So he ran wildly all the way. Li Zhenruo ran to Li Zhenran’s legs and rubbed his legs to climb up.

Li Zhenran stretched out his arms to hug him and felt that his neck was full of dog saliva, and immediately grabbed his two paws and pulled them away from him in disgust, and carried him upstairs to give him a bath for him before dinner.
