Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 179 - 179 179 The Thief is a Cat

?Chapter 179: Chapter 179: The Thief is a Cat? Chapter 179: Chapter 179: The Thief is a Cat? No matter what Ah Wu said, even if he pointed it out directly, Zheng Tan had decided to keep up the act. After all, he was just a cat now. Besides, Ah Wu didn’t make a good impression on Zheng Tan, who always felt uncomfortable around him.

So, feeling proud, Ah Wu watched as Zheng Tan briskly turned his head, spun around, and without looking back, walked away.

Ignoring Ah Wu shouting from behind, Zheng Tan quickened his pace and ran toward the East District courtyard. He decided to ignore those three cats the next time he saw them. Zheng Tan wasn’t worried about Ah Wu spouting nonsense; after all, even if Ah Wu spoke out, others wouldn’t fully believe him. Even if they believed, it wouldn’t be completely because many animals that had lived with humans for a long time could indeed understand some simple sentences. Zheng Tan kept a low profile in front of most people; those who knew his background wouldn’t betray him. What was there to fear?

On Friday night, Wei Leng drove over to take Zheng Tan and Ermao to Night Building for a night out. It had been a while since they had seen Senior Hetao, who happened to be available, and the three brothers got together for a catch-up, with Zheng Tan hitching a ride.

The three brothers were very casual, not like the people at the last birthday banquet Zheng Tan attended, who wore masks and played cunning games. They even conscientiously peeled peanuts onto the plate in front of Zheng Tan, so all he had to do was sit, wait to eat, listen to the live music outside, and then nap on the couch once full.

However, Zheng Tan’s drowsiness disappeared the moment he heard Wei Leng and his brothers start discussing the “Cat Tamer”.

The topic started with a case that Senior Hetao had brought up, which was under investigation. Actually, there had been some thefts before the New Year, but everyone assumed it was just the holiday approaching, stirring up all kinds of characters trying to make a quick buck. Many didn’t take it seriously, as such incidents were common every year. Senior Hetao and the others attributed these to some people with criminal records, who if caught, were merely fined or imprisoned for a while – nothing serious.

But then, after the New Year, people continued to report cases, more than during the same period in previous years. Were it not for a chance occurrence, Senior Hetao might have thought it was just those individuals with a history of crime stirring up trouble.

“A cat?!” Ermao dropped the peanut he was peeling in surprise.
