But... a car accident?
That meant that cat...
Meng Jixi couldn't help glancing at the boy.
The boy's face was full of anticipation and excitement.
He had no idea that what awaited him might not be the answer he wanted.
Meng Jixi sighed inwardly.
He thought of Master Xiao's earlier suggestion.
Perhaps Master Xiao had already foreseen this outcome, which was why he'd offered the boy another suggestion?
Was this a case of the good not coming true, but the bad coming true instead?
He'd thought God was helping the boy.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? They'd just been worrying about how to find Xiao Hei, and now that girl's Huan Huan said she'd seen him?!
Things had clearly been moving in a good direction. Who knew they would suddenly take a sharp turn...
Toward the worst possible outcome.
"Master Xiao."
Meng Jixi still held on to some hope. "What did you find?"
Maybe Xiao Hei had been in a car accident but was all right?
But deep down, he knew that if Xiao Hei really were all right, the boy wouldn't have been unable to find him for so long.
"I don't know."
Xiao Xiao shook his head.
Maybe the incident had been too minor. There wasn't much information about it online.
And what little there was remained vague.
The accident had only been mentioned in passing.
It said that someone had witnessed a car accident while out shopping, and that a kitten had been hit by a car.
There was no follow-up information.
For example, how badly was the kitten injured? Was it still alive?
None of that was mentioned.
"Let's ask around nearby."
Xiao Xiao put away his phone. "Maybe someone still remembers the accident."
The girl's face froze. A car accident?
