"The One Being Tested," Wei Yenwu / Extremely Annoyed Wei Yenwu

"..."

An Suo, who was suddenly grabbed and had her mouth covered, and was about to struggle, was calmed down by a sudden Rope from the person behind her.

Actually, it can't be said that she's been completely calmed down. The main problem is that Miss Rabbit really can't run anymore, and it's only a matter of time before she gets caught. She even started considering a temporary release site for the Canned Food just now.

After all, even if she's infected, she's still a person. If she gets arrested, at most she'll be interrogated and spend some time in jail.

But Canned Food is a different story, especially since someone was just injured. Under these circumstances, she dared not let the cat in her arms fall into the hands of the Lungmen Guard Department.

A few breaths later, Rope suddenly realized what the strangely familiar voice behind him meant by the "good show."

The alley she and the people behind her were in wasn't particularly narrow, but under the streetlights, it was quite spacious.

But in this situation, several Lungmen Guard Department officers who arrived from behind seemed to be blind, completely ignoring the two of them and simply passing by them openly.

Even as the police officers passed by, Miss Purple Rabbit could hear them saying things like, "Where's the strange person?" and "He probably ran that way, hurry and chase after him."

"...?"

After watching the Lungmen Guard Department officers who had conducted the search walk away, Rope finally breathed a sigh of relief, then carefully broke free from the person behind him and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

However, you wouldn't believe it until you see it! Miss Rabbit felt like all the fur on her body stood on end!

"You, you, you, you!!"

"What, have you forgotten the great Herrscher of Reason so quickly?" Looking at the ruffled little rabbit in front of her, Senti asked with her hands on her hips and an eyebrow raised.

"Hahaha..."

Having already recognized the person before him, Rope scratched his head and chuckled, "How could I forget? How could I possibly forget the great Herrscher of Reason! Well, since the matter is resolved, I won't waste your time any longer..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Purple Rabbit quietly backed away, clutching the Canned Food of food in her arms, looking like she was about to run away.

Let alone the initial confusion caused by the officers' unusual behavior, the fact that she didn't run away is a testament to her growing boldness from following Pardofelis around lately, especially after the person in front of her mentioned the "cheap" boss's name...

Seeing Rope's frightened rabbit-like appearance, Senti shook his head helplessly and said, "Without my help, you think you can leave here? Do you know how many people are searching this area right now?"

"If it weren't for that guy, Pardofelis, I wouldn't bother helping you. Stay close, I'm going to get you out of here."

After speaking, Senti stopped looking at Rope's expression and walked towards the other end of the alley without looking back.

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Rope was slightly taken aback and did not choose to follow immediately. This was not her fault, mainly because her "cheap" boss had not told her about this beforehand.

So for a moment she was conflicted about whether or not to follow this guy, whom she had only met once a long time ago and who had knocked her unconscious.

Meow~

Just as Rope, the Canned Food she was holding let out a soft cry, jumped down from her arms, gestured to her, and then took the lead in following Senti ahead.

"..."

Seeing this, Rope was still wary, but his doubts were somewhat dispelled. He stopped worrying and quickly followed after him.

Meanwhile, on the other side --

Sitting in the taxi, feeling the dual messages in her mind and on her phone, Pardofelis raised an eyebrow, then hurriedly said to the driver in the front, "Driver, please wait a moment, I'm not going there anymore, I'm going to this place now, it's urgent, please hurry!"

"Hmm? Why the sudden change of route... These two places are quite far apart, young lady, are you sure you want to go?"

"Okay, thank you for your help. Please hurry. The price is negotiable," Pardofelis said earnestly after the driver confirmed.

"In that case, please do your best!" Hearing Pardofelis say that, the driver didn't know what to ask, but after giving a word of advice, he quickly turned around at the next intersection and headed towards the new destination.

"..."

Glancing at the receding scenery outside the window, Pardofelis mentally confirmed the situation on the other side through her Rope Senti, while inwardly grumbling to herself.

Fortunately, she was prepared today. In addition to arranging for Rope spy, she even went so far as to call out Senti. Otherwise, she might have been tricked by that guy Wei Lao Er.

Very well! I, Pardofelis, have been working tirelessly all day, gathering information, dealing with gangsters, and racing against time to retrieve the [goods] phone book from the gang's hideout. And you've been tampering with things behind my back, getting the [goods] ahead of time, haven't you?

Since you are so ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless in return!

At this moment, Cat made a crucial decision in her heart: she would report it later! She was betting that Wei Lao Er hadn't told Fumizuki about his shady dealings!

Of course, it's okay to tell her. Once the matter is resolved, she'll just provide Boss Fumizuki with a free weekly search for her personal savings and contraband!

Chapter 155 "The Tester" Wei Yenwu

After arriving at the area where Wei Yenwu currently resides, Pardofelis checked that she still had plenty of time, so she asked the driver to stop the car. After paying the fare, she quickly jumped out of the car and headed alone towards her destination.

As for why not just take a car directly to the destination, well, I can only say wishful thinking. At this time of day, let alone whether a regular taxi could even get close to the residence of a city governor, even if it could, it would only alert the enemy, which is completely unnecessary.

So for this last leg of the journey, she decided to rely on herself. After all, it wouldn't be right for her not to retaliate after that scoundrel had just tricked her.

Under the cover of darkness, Pardofelis traveled smoothly and easily to the only intersection near Wei Yenwu's house, where she lay in wait.

As for why they didn't just sneak into someone's house, there are two reasons: firstly, Senti isn't around right now, and with so many surveillance cameras, it would be troublesome for the cat to sneak in.

Secondly, it's simply because her target isn't Wei Yenwu, so there's no need to worry; she only needs to follow the rules on this necessary route.

After all, no one knew whether sneaking into Wei Lao Er's yard would alert him or get her bitten in return... She could believe that some ruthless politician was capable of doing such a thing.

Lungmen is ablaze with lights at night, its skyscrapers shimmering with color, and its bustling streets teeming with traffic and neon lights, showcasing the city's nighttime charm.

And it was under the cover of the city's night that three identical cars separated at a certain moment, and then quietly reunited when entering a certain area, so that no one who knew the situation could detect anything unusual.

"Oh dear, it seems our target has arrived!"

Pardofelis, who was resting on a tree branch by the roadside, squinted at the flashing car lights in the distance, and perked up a bit.

Sigh, I'm so sleepy. I hope this ends soon so I can go back and rest... Thinking this, the cat reluctantly sat up.

Of course, despite getting up, she showed no signs of taking any action at the moment. Instead, she secretly cried out for help in her heart, 'Great sage Bangbang! I really don't want to hit anyone with a brick again today.'

Pardofelis's plea for help was true; she had already swung a brick far too many times today and didn't want to touch it again.

Furthermore, she couldn't be sure whether the people in the car were gangsters delivering goods under the pretense of cooperation of the Governor of Lungmen, or Wei Yenwu's confidants...

If it's the former, that's easy enough; the cat can just jump down and solve the problem physically. But the latter is a bit more complicated... To avoid accidentally killing a future "colleague" or causing any misunderstandings, she decided that when in doubt, she should call the boss!

' Pardofelis, you really treat me like a brick, moving me wherever you need me! But what can I do? I'm the boss, just you wait!' Senti, who had already brought Rope and Canned Food to a safe place, listened to the call from someone in his heart and silently complained to himself.

'Yay!'

Hearing the cheers of Pardofelis in her heart, Senti turned to look at Rope beside her, "Now that you're here, you won't be caught and taken back, right?"

"If you still manage to get caught under these circumstances, then the great Herrscher of Reason will certainly have a good laugh at you! Alright, you can hide by yourself, I'm going to help Pardofelis."

"Ah, okay... thank you." Rope was taken aback by Senti's sudden words, then nodded in response.

Then, Senti didn't waste any more time. After quickly disappearing from Rope's sight, he directly had Pardofelis summon him over.

"..."

Watching the figure disappear from his sight, Rope couldn't help but recall Senti's familiar attitude when mentioning Pardofelis and the scene when he met the "cheap" boss. A sentence suddenly popped into his mind.

The world is... pretty small.

Meanwhile, Wei Yenwu's current residence --

In the study, Wei Yenwu sat at his desk with a strange expression, looking at a report that had just been sent to him by his subordinates.

To be honest, things have really developed in a way that has exceeded the Governor's original expectations. He underestimated Pardofelis, or rather, the people around her.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Wei Yenwu narrowed his eyes slightly, summoned his Black Cloak shadow guards, and gave them an order.

"..."

After the shadow guard received his orders and left, Wei Yenwu's serious expression vanished, replaced by a hint of displeasure. It was the kind of displeasure you feel when you've prepared everything perfectly for a game, even resorting to underhanded tactics, only to have it easily defeated by the opponent.

If he remembers correctly, he was the one who was being tested?

To be honest, according to the original plan, regardless of whether Pardofelis could get the [phone book], Wei Yenwu would have made a profit.

If Wei Yenwu can obtain Pardofelis, then he can be considered to have killed three birds with one stone: resolving the gangster incident in Lungmen, obtaining the phone book, and acquiring a valuable talent.

Even if he didn't get it, it was still a win-win-win situation for him. The first two points were the same as mentioned above, and the last point was that he not only gained "talented people" but also got a good chance to vent his anger.

Of course, the above situation is just the normal state. In fact, Wei Yenwu increased the intensity of this test. He did something extra behind Fumizuki's back.

That meant they made a "deal" with the gang members beforehand, obtaining the [phone book] in advance when the other side was willing to surrender.

Wei Yenwu's actions did not mean he intended to cut off Pardofelis's path to passing the test; he simply wanted to increase the difficulty. With the increased difficulty, even if she didn't ultimately obtain the item, he would still decide the outcome based on her performance.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed a little rabbit to keep watching his old house.

However, this was precisely what surprised him. To be honest, the governor really didn't expect that he, or rather his men, wouldn't be able to capture a single Cautus.

For a moment, he couldn't tell if his subordinates (the Lungmen Guard Department) were too incompetent, or if the people around Pardofelis were genuinely capable...

Of course, Wei Yenwu's invitation to Rope to eat pork chop rice at the Lungmen Guard Department in a way that seemed like a warning wasn't meant to be a punishment; he simply wanted to use him as a "bargaining chip."

With this "bargaining chip," regardless of whether Pardofelis succeeds or not, he can use it to trick her and vent his anger.

However, since this matter did not succeed, Wei Yenwu naturally did not continue to force it, but instead turned his attention to Pardofelis herself.

That's why he received orders from the Black Cloak Shadow Guards to take action.

To be honest, he was getting curious—curious about just how far this little girl, [Lungmen Thief], was capable of. He hoped she wouldn't disappoint him...

Chapter 156 Wei Yenwu's Extreme Dissatisfaction

"Wow, that's terrifying!"

Standing beside the only road, Pardofelis looked at the Black Cloak Shadow Guard who had fainted in the distance after being instantly pulled into an illusion, and stroked her chin with a smile as she sighed.

Just as Wei Yenwu could roughly guess Pardofelis's thoughts, Pardofelis could also vaguely guess his actions.

After successfully escaping from the Rope, Maomao guessed that Wei Lao Er, who "couldn't take the game," was going to trip her up. Now, the facts prove that this was indeed the case.

Although these Black Cloak shadow guards were more symbolic than a real threat to Pardofelis, they were still a nuisance if she had to hold back during a fight. Fortunately, she was clever enough to find help, which saved her most of the trouble.

"Alright, Pardofelis, stop standing there like an idiot. Hurry up and find your target this time, then go hand in your mission." Standing next to the three identical cars, Senti waved to Pardofelis, who was sighing in the distance, and said.

"Although going out for activities at night is nice, it's too late. I'll go home after I'm done here, so I don't have to listen to that old fogey's nagging again."

"Here you are! Thank you for your hard work today, Boss Shi! I'll treat you to dinner later if I have the chance!" Hearing Senti's words, Pardofelis looked away and replied happily.

"Hmph~"

Upon hearing this, Senti gave a pleased hum, "That's more like it. In that case, I'll reluctantly agree."

In response to Senti's answer, Pardofelis simply smiled and said nothing more. Instead, she focused intently on rummaging through the car, searching for her "goods" from this trip.

Just as Senti said, Maomao also felt that it was getting late. She had been busy all day and wanted to finish her work and go home to rest as soon as possible.

It took Pardofelis a while to finally find the target of this mission in the car. After briefly confirming that everything was correct, she climbed out of the car.

"The item has been found. I'll go deliver it now. If you're tired, Boss Shi, you can go back and rest now. Thank you so much for today!" Pardofelis climbed out of the car and looked up at Senti, who had been keeping watch for her, and expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

"Okay, I'm leaving then. Take care of yourself." After hearing Pardofelis's suggestion, Senti nodded slightly, then turned and walked into the darkness until she disappeared.

"..."

After sensing that Senti had been summoned back by Hua, Pardofelis stopped lingering and quickly headed straight for the governor's residence.

This time, due to the special circumstances, and to save face for Wei Yenwu, Maomao did not choose to sneak directly into the governor's residence. Instead, she stopped at the gate and formally reminded the guards.

As if they had been given prior notice, the guards saw and heard Pardofelis's request for permission, but didn't say much. After exchanging a few words with their companions, they went inside to make the announcement.

A short while later, she was led inside by guards who came out of the courtyard, led by Shirayuki.

Upon entering the living room of the mansion, Pardofelis immediately spotted Wei Yenwu, who sat regally on the sofa, his face stern as if he were about to give her a hard time.

"Oh dear, this is our first meeting, Mr. Wei." Pardofelis didn't seem to notice Wei Yenwu's expression, and waved to him with a smile. "We've received the [goods] you entrusted to us. Would you like to inspect them?"

"Oh? Then I'll have to examine it properly." Upon hearing this, Wei Yenwu grinned, revealing sharp teeth.

To be honest, Wei Yenwu was surprised and had mixed feelings at this moment, because he really didn't expect that little girl Pardofelis would arrive so quickly, even though he had already sent his Black Cloak Shadow Guards to intercept her in secret...
