The Value of Wei Lao'er's Secret Stash / Wei Yenwu: "Um, I Can Explain..."

Moreover, Cat didn't think she was really that capable. In fact, she had encountered several near-exposure situations during this period, but she managed to survive thanks to Senti's [Out of Touch].

If she had been a lone and vulnerable individual from the beginning, she would probably have been remembered for her appearance or even captured by so many informants and arresting agents long ago.

"Heh~"

After hearing Pardofelis's rebuttal, Fumizuki couldn't help but chuckle. She didn't continue to say anything more on the topic.

Just as the two had been chatting for a while, Shirayuki, who was standing quietly not far away, looked at Fumizuki as if she had received some news and nodded slightly to her.

Pardofelis, who had taken in the two's subtle interactions, couldn't help but blink her gradient-colored eyes, then smiled and said, "It seems that Madam Wen Yue has made her confirmation. May we leave now?"

"Of course, if you're still not comfortable with that, we can accept you taking your body back!"

Others might not understand the meaning behind the silent exchange between master and servant, but Maomao did. It simply meant that the others had privately confirmed that they hadn't taken anything extra, and then reported this to Fumizuki through Shirayuki.

"Heh~ Of course, Miss Pardofelis, it's your prerogative. However, please keep in touch afterward, because there might be a big business opportunity." Upon hearing this, Fumizuki chuckled softly, then spoke in a gentle yet meaningful tone.

If the subsequent investigation confirms that Pardofelis is without problems, Fumizuki wouldn't mind training and utilizing this "special talent." If any problems arise, then that's another story...

However, in either case, it's always easier to get things done if you're in contact with someone.

"Well, don't worry, don't worry. Unless something unexpected happens, we shouldn't suddenly lose contact." With that, Pardofelis stood up, stretched, and then said slowly:

"That's settled then, sorry to bother you."

After saying that, the cat waved to Fumizuki and then dashed away without looking back, giving no one a chance to stop her.

The instant Pardofelis quickly left the villa area, Senti, far away in the hotel, used his ability to influence the personnel in the monitoring room with an illusion, causing them to erase all traces related to the cat from the surveillance footage.

Inside the villa--

"My lord, are you just going to let her go like this?" After receiving the news that Pardofelis had completely left, Shirayuki, who was standing quietly to the side, couldn't help but ask.

"It's alright. Apart from one Lungmen Dollars, she didn't cause us any loss, did she? On the contrary, she made us realize our own problems." At this point, Fumizuki paused slightly, put down her slightly cool teacup, and continued unhurriedly:

"Alright, there's nothing more to say about this. I'll have someone investigate later. As for now... why don't you go and help me make some preparations, Shirayuki?"

After speaking, Fumizuki's meaningful gaze fell on the pile of scattered items on the coffee table.

"Yes."

After instantly understanding her master's meaning, Shirayuki nodded slightly and went to help with the so-called "preparations".

In an office--

"Ah Qiu--"

Wei Yenwu suddenly sneezed loudly for no apparent reason and couldn't help but frown.

He wondered what was wrong with him today. Starting sometime in the afternoon, he felt restless, as if something bad was about to happen...

However, after thinking it over, Wei Yenwu couldn't find any major events or crises, so he had no choice but to silently suppress his feelings once again.

After leaving the villa, Pardofelis originally wanted to take advantage of the free time to go to Eden and make her presence known, but after sensing that the other side was busy, she had no choice but to give up the plan for the time being and go to meet up with her younger brother.

In the past few days, Eden has spent most of his time learning about the history of this city and the world, except for a few occasions when he stayed in the hotel.

Although Miss Eden didn't care too much about money, she had to admit that money could indeed accomplish many things.

So, whether for convenience or other reasons, she plans to develop her economy in this world. As for whether she'll continue singing, who can say for sure?

P. S.: This is a bit of a stretch, but I've finally finished writing about it. Wow, little loli, my little loli, I'm going to write about little lolis.

Chapter 55 The Value of Wei Lao Er's Private Stash

Beside a street in a slum--

"Canned Food, is there anywhere else you'd like to go?"

Rope gently stroked the fat cat in his arms and asked in a low voice.

Meow~

When confronted with the Rope, Canned Food simply let out a soft cry and shook its fluffy head.

Although Canned Food actually wants to go to quite a few places, it has already had Rope buy it a lot of food. If it keeps buying more, and Pardofelis finds out tonight, it will definitely get a lecture, maybe even have its cat Canned Food consumption halved...

So after a little consideration, the fat cat temporarily gave up on letting its "little brother" continue feeding it.

"In that case, let's go back. It's getting late, I just don't know when Miss Felis will be back..." Noticing the Canned Food's little movements, Rope first nodded, then looked up at the sky and whispered.

"Meow~"

Then, just as Rope turned to leave with the Canned Food, intending to return to her lodgings, a figure silently appeared behind her, and then a snow-white hand suddenly clapped.

"Ah!"

Even though it was just a light tap on his shoulder, Rope immediately bristled, quickly creating distance and warily turning his head to look behind him.

"..."

However, once Rope clearly saw who had taken the photo, her tense nerves slowly relaxed. She then looked at the person with a resentful gaze and complained, "Miss Felis, don't you know that scaring someone can be deadly...?"

"Oh, I just wanted to surprise you. Have you had dinner yet? If not, let's eat together." Meeting the Rope look in her eyes, Pardofelis innocently blinked her beautiful heterochromatic eyes and changed the subject.

"..."

Looking at the innocent-looking "boss" who had startled him, Rope's lips twitched involuntarily. After a moment of silence, he said in a vengeful tone, "Let's go! I want to eat well tonight!"

Although Miss Purple Rabbit wasn't very hungry because she had eaten snacks earlier, whether she was hungry or not didn't matter anymore...

"Hey, no problem! Just lead the way with whatever you want to eat. Tonight, I'll be hanging out with you, Rope." Looking at Rope's adorable expression, Pardofelis smiled brightly and said.

"You..."

Hearing his own "spoiled" joke being readily agreed to, Rope was taken aback at first, then turned his head slightly and said in a somewhat unnatural tone, "You said it yourself, let's go... I'll eat you out of house and home today."

After saying that, Miss Purple Rabbit didn't look at Pardofelis's reaction anymore. Instead, she turned around and left with the Canned Food of food in her arms. Her back view looked like she was fleeing in panic.

"..."

Watching Rope's retreating figure, Pardofelis helplessly shrugged, then quickened her pace and happily followed after him.

"... Miss Felis, you came back so late today, did you run into some big trouble?" On the way to dinner, Rope seemed to suddenly remember something, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Pardofelis in a low voice.

Having already noticed Rope's expression and waiting for her to ask, Pardofelis stroked her chin and replied, "No big trouble, actually. On the contrary, we've had quite a fruitful day."

After saying that, the cat proudly pulled out a shiny... Lungmen Dollars from its pocket!

"...?"

Rope clearly saw what Pardofelis had taken out of her bosom, a question mark slowly appeared above her head.

It wasn't that Miss Purple Rabbit looked down on the money, nor that she thought it was too little; after all, this amount of money would have been enough for her to survive for a week or two before... It was mainly because the contrast was too great.

Think about how lavishly their cheap "boss" used to spend money and how indifferent he was to it, and then look at him now... he's so "serious" about taking out a single bill?

Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if Pardofelis has fallen on hard Rope? Maybe we should just grab something simple to eat tonight...?

"Hmph, Rope, you have no idea how valuable this money is..." Noticing Rope's expression, Pardofelis snorted twice and prepared to start talking to her.

Before the cat could say anything, a shop by the roadside caught her eye, prompting her to change the subject, "Ice cream! What flavor does Rope want? Let's go buy some."

"?"

Before Rope could catch up with Pardofelis's erratic train of thought, she was pulled by the hand and led towards the shops along the roadside.

In a matter of moments, Miss Purple Rabbit had an ice cream in her hand, in the small bowl held by the Canned Food, and in Pardofelis's hand...

Meanwhile, the money that the cat had just wanted to use to explain its origins simply vanished from her hands.

"..."

Still dazed and eating her ice cream, An Rope savored the rich flavor she'd never tasted before. Looking at the person and cat happily enjoying their meal beside her, she murmured softly, "Is this the value of that bill?"

"Um?"

Hearing the soft sound from Rope's mouth, Pardofelis turned her head to look at her in confusion, then realized what she meant and said with a smile, "Oh dear, Rope, are you still thinking about what just happened?"

"Actually, the reason we said this money was valuable before is because we got it from a [big shot] today."

"If that's the case, then why...?"

Upon hearing this, Rope was taken aback. He first glanced at the ice cream in his hand, then looked at Pardofelis with a puzzled expression.

After listening to her cheap boss's words, Miss Purple Rabbit probably understood the reason for his previous "serious" attitude, but that's precisely why she was even more confused.

Since that bill had such high added value, why did Pardofelis use it so readily...?

"Well, that's because it's not very valuable, or rather, not that valuable. After all, I don't plan to collect it." Saying this, Pardofelis licked the melting ice cream in her hand before continuing:

"In that case, wouldn't it better to use it to buy food and share it with friends to better demonstrate its value?"

Cat wasn't joking. After finishing her ice cream later, she planned to collect all the wrappers and put them in her collection box.

It was just a mere stash of Wei Lao Er's money, something he could take anytime he wanted. How could it compare to her memories and collections?

"Alright, stop overthinking. Instead of wasting time, let's think about what to eat tonight, and where we are headed?"

"Hey... cough cough, let's go get some barbecue then."

Reminded by Pardofelis, Rope belatedly realized that, under his "leadership," they had almost aimlessly wandered out of the street.

"Sure, let's go."

Chapter 56 Wei Yenwu: "Um, I can explain..."

Wei Yenwu, who had been feeling uneasy since this afternoon, received a message from his subordinates near the villa just before the end of the workday. He then put down his official duties and hurriedly left the office to head home.

Meanwhile, Wei Yenwu's family--

Fumizuki leaned back on the sofa, holding today's newspaper in her hand, her expression quite calm and composed, looking very relaxed.

However, this was only on the surface; her inner self was far from as calm as she appeared.

As for the reason, it all started after Fumizuki finished checking the guards at her house.

Because her home was successfully hacked without her noticing, Fumizuki carefully investigated the cause to prevent any potential problems.

She initially thought the security cameras were broken, the staff were slacking off, or they had been knocked unconscious, but after investigating, she discovered that it wasn't like that at all; no one was truly "slacking off."

Everyone was diligently working at their posts, and nothing seemed amiss, including the two guards in the monitoring room.

However, sometimes the absence of any abnormalities is the biggest abnormality.

Through the surveillance cameras installed in the monitoring room, Fumizuki watched helplessly as her two guards ignored the anomaly in the video with serious expressions, and then, as if receiving some kind of order, inexplicably deleted the video segment related to Pardofelis.

Moreover, after she called the two people over for questioning, neither of them had any recollection of the unusual events in the video or their own actions, which made her suspicious...

Were the two of them in cahoots beforehand, or were their perceptions influenced by something?

Fumizuki thought the former possibility was unlikely, because the person who could come here to work as a guard, especially someone who could enter such an important place as the monitoring room, was either her or someone close to Wei Yenwu. They were people she knew very well and had no reason to betray him.

If it's the latter, then this ability... it seems that the little kitten that visited today still has many secrets that she doesn't know.

Just as Fumizuki was pondering and organizing the information she had learned that day, Shirayuki silently walked in from outside and came to her side.

"Hmm? Is there some new information?"

Sensing the presence of the person beside her, Fumizuki snapped out of her thoughts, looked up, and asked.

"Um."

Faced with her mistress's question, Shirayuki nodded slightly, placed the documents she was holding in front of her, and then said:

"This is the person's itinerary and actions after leaving this place."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Fumizuki quickly picked up the documents in front of her and began to read them, but after just one glance, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes. "Pardofelis should have noticed our actions... What was her reaction?"

"The reaction was very calm; they completely ignored our presence." After listening to Fumizuki's words, Shirayuki added to her with a serious tone, highlighting details that were not marked in the documents in her hand.
