Three Women Make a Show, and Wrapping Up / The Three Who Give Lungmen a Headache
"You! You! You actually dare to curse me!? Even the old antique has never cursed me!" Although Chen only said half of that "Lungmen swear word" before swallowing it, Senti still caught it quite clearly.
After that, she stared at the person in front of her with disbelief, her hands trembling slightly with anger.
Not only did Chen think Senti had a problem, but Senti also thought Chen was quite problematic and unreasonable!
Although she knew that Chen hadn't kidnapped her child (Griseo), what normal person would criticize or lecture someone without understanding the situation?
Does Griseo's strength really require accompaniment or protection? That's just... utterly ridiculous!!!
Just as the two were about to continue arguing, a figure appeared silently behind Chen, grinning broadly, and said, "Oh, isn't this Superintendent Ch'en? Long time no see!"
"!?"
Chen, whose attention was entirely focused on Senti, suddenly heard a sound behind him. His pupils contracted involuntarily, and he instinctively reached for his sword.
"Wow, be careful, Officer Chen! We're law-abiding citizens!" Noticing Chen's movement, the man quickly jumped back and raised his hands, saying.

"..."
After matching the voice behind him with the person in his memory, Chen lowered his hand with a dark face, turned around and said irritably, "Don't suddenly appear behind people if there's nothing wrong!"
"But why are you here?"
Looking at Pardofelis in front of her, Chen Qingqing frowned, no longer caring about continuing her argument with Senti.
After analyzing the person in front of him for some time, Chen knew very well that if nothing was wrong, she would definitely not appear in front of him, the Lungmen Police Superintendent. In fact, she would be avoiding him.
Of course, after all this time, none of them had figured out why the "Lungmen Thief" could act both cowardly and bravely...
"Well, we just wandered around and came here. But since we happened to run into Officer Chen here, this is convenient." With that, Pardofelis smiled and pulled a letter sealed with cat paw wax from her pocket, handing it to Chen.
"...?"
Looking at the envelope handed to him, Chen's face flashed with a strange expression. He did not reach out to take it, but instead looked at Pardofelis with a questioning gaze, waiting for her explanation.
To be honest, Officer Chen really felt like he had some kind of karmic connection with letters today. Otherwise, how could he have received a whole bunch of letters before the day was even half over?
"This is Swire. It's not convenient for us to go there, so we're asking Officer Chen to take care of it. We'll treat you to dinner after it's done!"
"Canned Food, shall we go...?"
After saying that, Pardofelis didn't wait for Chen's reaction, shoved the envelope into her arms, and tried to run away. However, she had only taken a few steps when she realized that the fat cat that had been standing on her shoulder had disappeared.
"Trying to run? You stop right there!"
Seizing the opportunity, Chen, who had been given the letter, suddenly came to his senses and rushed towards Pardofelis.
"Hey, we didn't do anything wrong! Canned Food, Canned Food cat..." As Chen charged towards her menacingly, Pardofelis nimbly dodged while calling out to her fat cat.
However, when she saw him nestled in the arms of a little blue-haired girl, her voice went silent, and she decisively chose to "abandon" him.
"You're on your own now! I'm outta here!"
After "abandoning" her fat cat, Pardofelis had no more worries. She waved to Chen with a smile and then plunged into the crowd, quickly disappearing from his sight.
"..."
Staring at the spot where the person had vanished in the blink of an eye, Chen stood there holding the envelope, his lips twitching slightly involuntarily.
As expected of her, even though she was mentally prepared not to touch anyone when she pounced to grab them, she still couldn't help but marvel at how quickly they disappeared.
Quickly, if Chen hadn't been holding a letter in his hand, he wouldn't have thought that anyone had come here just now.
And for some reason, Mr. Chen felt that Pardofelis's visit this time wasn't a coincidence, but rather intentional...
"..."
After pondering for a moment, Chen pulled himself together and quickly turned to look in the direction where Griseo had been.
However, it would have been better if she hadn't looked. Once she saw it, her expression, which had eased because of Pardofelis's sudden disruption, darkened again.
"What are you doing!"
"Ha, why would I need to report to a rude and crazy guy like you?" Senti, who was pulling Griseo along to get ready to drive Run, paused after hearing Chen's words, then turned around and retorted loudly.
After scolding, Senti, just like Pardofelis before her, didn't give Chen a chance to react. With a sudden change of action, she grabbed Griseo, who was holding a cat, and started urinating.
As she retreated, she didn't forget to hurl a threat at Chen, "You just wait! You dare to curse me? You're finished! I'll teach you a lesson next time we meet!"
"..."
Seeing this, Chen chased after it without any hesitation. If there was a hint of pretense in his previous pursuit of the cat, then this time he was serious.
After all, one is a thief for whom they haven't decided whether to seriously pursue the arrest, and the other is their own sister's new younger sister. Compared to the former, the latter will definitely be the one to seriously chase after the thief.
Chen was really worried about Griseo, this well-behaved girl, living with that gray-haired, unreliable guy...
However, she still seriously underestimated Senti's speed and stamina. Even though she wasn't as agile as the [Lungmen Thief] while carrying someone, she still managed to shake her off after some time.
"Call..."
Standing on the street, panting heavily, where her target was long out of sight, Chen felt a pang of helplessness at the thought of her child being abducted. At the same time, she felt a sudden urge to call the police...
After taking some time to calm himself down, Chen Cai, with a dark expression, took the letter and returned to the Lungmen Guard Department, ending his disastrous "field mission".
As for why he didn't continue searching for Griseo in the vicinity, it was because Chen suddenly remembered something, and that something was that the special cat from [Lungmen Thief] that could only grow bigger was now with his target.
In this situation, instead of wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly, it's better to go back to Swire and use her phone to ask the "well-informed" [Lungmen Avenue] cat... no, where is she?
Honestly, Chen wouldn't want to use this method to find people at all if she could, but she had no choice; she hadn't even had a chance to exchange contact information with Griseo yet...
Of course, Chen's insistence on contacting Griseo again wasn't to fight that unreliable "guardian." Rather, he wanted to see if he could find Griseo a new temporary guardian.
If she remembered correctly, that little guy should have more than one older sister in Lungmen.
Meanwhile, on the other side --
After shaking off the person, Senti found a safe place and carefully put Griseo down.
"Wow, that guy was pretty close, but Herrscher of Reason still managed to shake me off!"
"Yes, Sister Senti is amazing!"
Hearing Senti's boast, Griseo blinked her beautiful eyes gently and earnestly echoed his words.
"Of course! If that old antique hadn't warned me in my mind just now, I would have gone up and taught that rude guy a lesson already!" As she spoke, Senti couldn't help but stomp her foot, remembering what had happened earlier.
If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to be nagged by that old fogey all afternoon, she would have already started a fight with Ch'en. She's so rude, I can't stand it!
Chapter 85 The Buzzing Trio of Lungmen Brains
"Alright, let's not stay here any longer. Let's hurry and meet up with that old fogey, or we'll get a lecture." After calming herself down a bit, Senti shrugged at Griseo and said.
"Good."
Hearing this, Griseo didn't object, simply nodding her head obediently. Then, as if remembering something, she looked down at the fluffy creature in her arms and said, "Let's have the Canned Food with us for lunch today..."
Meow~
After hearing Griseo's words, the Canned Food nestled in her arms let out a soft cry, which could be considered an agreement.
Afterwards, the two people and the cat headed towards Hua's location, since it was getting late and almost lunchtime.
On the other side--
With a sour face, Chen went straight to his office after returning to the Lungmen Guard Department without saying a word.
"Old Chen, you're back. What's the situation...? What happened?"
Upon seeing Chen return, Hoshiguma, sitting in her office, instinctively asked a question, but before she could finish speaking, she saw his unpleasant expression and changed her words.
"... The child has been kidnapped."
Faced with his friend's question, Chen remained silent for a moment before speaking.
Her answer left the two people in the office with a question mark appearing on their foreheads simultaneously.
"Bang..."
However, Chen didn't pay attention to their reactions. After casually closing the office door, she went straight to where Swire was sitting and slammed the thing she had been holding onto her desk.
"What is this? And a child... You're not talking about Griseo, are you?! Who did this? Where is she? Why aren't you chasing after them?!"
As if startled awake by the sound of Chen slamming the table, Swire quickly came to her senses and asked again.
Honestly, Little Tiger quite likes Griseo; she's well-behaved, sensible, and very cute. If anything were to happen to the little one while she's caring for her, she would be truly heartbroken and guilty.
"Calm down, Griseo fine... she'll be fine for a while." Seeing that Swire had misunderstood something, Chen reached out and patted her shoulder to explain.
She originally wanted to say definitively that Griseo was alright, but considering her sister's unreliable nature, she changed her mind.
"Swire, take a look at the letter on the table first, then give me your phone. I'll tell you what happened later."
"What could possibly be related to my phone?"
Upon hearing this, Swire muttered in confusion, but out of trust, she took out her phone and handed it to Chen beside her.
After handing out the phone, the little tiger picked up the letter that had been slapped on the table, intending to see what it was. Meanwhile, Hoshiguma, standing nearby, moved her chair closer, curiously joining the conversation.
Although Chen was also curious about the contents of the letter from [Lungmen Thief], he didn't rush over to read it together. Instead, he took his friend's phone and sent a message to the letter's owner.
After all, the letter that's already in hand won't run away, but the cat Griseo is with might be a different story.
A cat that can grow larger and has fighting power is definitely not an ordinary animal; there's a high chance it will run away, or even sneak back to Pardofelis. Therefore, Chen plans to contact the notorious thief as soon as possible.
Although Chen felt that even if the cat slipped back, that person should be able to easily find Griseo with their abilities, the possibility and significance of informing her were different—one was incidental, the other was deliberate.
"Call..."
Swire ignored the slight unease that arose in her heart when she saw the cat paw stamp on the envelope, opened it, and took out the letter to read.
[Long time no see, Swire! I have something to tell you this time. I've been eyeing one of your "treasures" for ages, and after much thought, I've finally decided to go and buy it today!!]
[Of course, you can refuse. The condition is that you can catch us, the delivery time is tonight! But if you can't stop us, that's okay too, we'll still pay!]
[That's all, see you later.]
However, it would have been better not to read the letter at all; once read, everyone fell silent...
Swire was in a pretty good mood today because of meeting the adorable Griseo, suddenly felt a surge of anger after reading the letter, and her head was buzzing.
Not only her, but even Hoshiguma was watching alongside her, was speechless, unsure of what expression to make.
At the same time, she began to wonder again why Pardofelis, the "Lungmen Thief," was so fond of her friend. Was it because she was rich? But Lungmen wasn't short of rich people... Or did she like... the person herself? But she hadn't noticed anything particularly unusual...
While the two remained silent, Chen, who had just sent a message and was waiting for a reply, received a swift response from Pardofelis.
However, the speed of the reply made her glance curiously at her two friends beside her. It's no wonder she suddenly became curious; the message was replied to so quickly, as if they had been waiting for her all along.
The only reason the other side could predict that "Swire" would come looking for her was the letter she had just brought back...
Of course, Chen's sudden curiosity didn't last long before she suppressed it. She quickly looked away and returned her gaze to her phone screen where a new message had arrived.
[You mean Canned Food? Of course I can find it, but why are you asking? You're not trying to steal my cat, are you?!]
[That won't do! The Canned Food is my important companion; I can't let it go!]
"..."
Upon seeing the message, Chen couldn't help but close his eyes and rub his temples. After a moment, he reopened his eyes and began to "deal with" the other end of the line on his phone.
Meanwhile, a restaurant in Lungmen --
"Miss Felis, what are you laughing at? And where's the Canned Food?" Looking at her boss, who was happily holding her phone but was now missing a "keyboard charm," Rope couldn't help but ask.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Canned Food and Pardofelis usually get along very well, Miss Purple Rabbit would have started to suspect that the person in front of her was broke and had gone out to sell the cat...
"I was just teasing you. No wonder Sister Elysia likes to tease me so much; it really is quite fun." Hearing this, Pardofelis put down her phone, gently wagged her tail, and explained to Rope with a smile.
"As for the Canned Food, there was a little mishap when we went out. It's with a cute little girl now, and it had lunch there too. We'll go pick it up later!"
"Hmm... I understand." Hearing this, Rope nodded slightly, acknowledging the answer. But then, as if remembering something, she looked curious and whispered:
"So, what was Miss Felis doing when she suddenly left? Would you mind telling me?"
