The team members looked carefully, then discovered… Captain Guo and the cat that had being forced into submission had reached an equilibrium.

Guo Chao Ming was stroking the cat’s back, and the dust ah dirt ah in his hands were all rubbed on the cat’s fur.

The cat in question had not found out yet, that it was already darker and dirtier.

The onlookers: Captain Guo, you’re going too far ah!!! When the kitty came, it was still thirty percent gray and seventy percent white, now, it has become ninety percent gray and ten percent white!

All this, Bai Xia Xia did not know.

Guo Chao Ming wiped his hands clean: I’m perfectly satisfied, crossing out the account in the small book.

Professor Wen: “…” This vice captain doesn’t look very smart.

Bai Xia Xia fought hard for half a day, but the military use canteen was still steadily tied on Guo Chao Ming.

Bai Xia Xia …is this the quality of the military?

“Do you need my help?”

Bai Xia Xia turned her face, the cat face that had lost its will to live was gone forever, then she cutely and obediently, as well as intimately, used her head to rub him.

Not even Sichuan face changing[1] was as fast as her.

Guo Chao Ming untied the military use canteen, the canteen had about one half of the clear water remaining. He thought that Bai Xia Xia was thirsty, but as he was preparing to unscrew the lid, on his back, a gray snow-white Persian cat jumped up like a flash of lightning.

Xiao Fang was startled: “Vice Captain Guo, be careful!”

He had seen Bai Xia Xia two times. He did not know Bai Xia Xia very well, but he knew, that this cat had grown up in Cuilian Mountain.

No wild animal was good to provoke, for Guo Chao Ming to be scratched. There was a high risk.

It was as if Guo Chao Ming had not heard anything, Bai Xia Xia used her teeth to bite the fastener, then called indistinctly: “Fair deal, with fair treatment to all.”

“The price of me acting cute, it’s very expensive.”

Bai Xia Xia ignored a certain person’s paw that had been extended over to stroke the cat, then dexterously avoided him. With a type 86 military canteen[2] in her mouth, she used happy small kitten steps, and ran away.

“Captain Guo, this cat…” Why did it take away your military use canteen? I’ve seen cats asking for water, but which family’s cat would also take away the canteen and leave ah?

“It’s nothing, let’s go.” Guo Chao Ming did not mind it at all, he was thinking that when that cat found out that it had been rua until its whole body was dark, it would be angered to death.

In ward 407 of Tongcheng Military Region Hospital, at the time when Li Ai Guo heard of the news, he was still exchanging words with the three wily old foxes, fighting a battle of wits and courage.

He had interrogated Old Second Bai and Wang Peng two to three times separately, the only one that he had not interrogated separately was Old Liao.

After Old Liao said his threatening words, he had not spoken more to Li Ai Guo.

Li Ai Guo wanted to provoke the other party a bit more. Unfortunately, Old Liao had put on the stance of a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, then nestled sloppily in the hospital bed.

No matter who it was that came to ask him, he would only laugh sinisterly, stare intently at the other person’s face, and not say a word.

That cold and treacherous gaze that was like that of a venomous snake that was hiding in an abyss, even if it was Li Ai Guo the one to have seen it, he would have also been chilled.

The weights held in Old Second Bai and Wang Peng’s hands were too little, so they absolutely did not mention even a single word that was related to the cultural relics.

Once that matter was mentioned, their mouths became like clamshells, locking up tightly.

Li Ai Guo had thought about using the tactic of driving a wedge. Wang Peng, that kid, was young and distinctly violent, easy to fool.

But unexpectedly, Wang Peng, that guy, was very loyal, his relationship with Old Second Bai was very good, and he also trusted Old Second Bai a lot.

Li Ai Guo had thought about all types of ways, but Wang Peng followed Old Second Bai’s pace closely, walking step by step, and he did not betray Old Second Bai even if he had to die.

Li Ai Guo …f*cking idiot! He had no way to solve and became so anxious that he lost a lot of hair again.

The people had been caught in the net, they clearly had nowhere to go, so surrendering themselves was the only way for them to reduce their sentences to the greatest extent, by bearing the crime and making worthy contributions.

Old Second Bai and Wang Peng’s reactions, however, were very weird, this made Li Ai Guo become increasingly impatient and uneasy.

The news that had been brought by the sub-bureau was like a stimulant, which caused Li Ai Guo to be overjoyed at the turn of events[3], “They’ve been found, they’ve really been found?”

Most of the personnel in the sub-bureau had been allocated to the kidnapping case, but the whereabouts of the cultural relics were also incredibly important.

The pressure of the public opinion was invisible, but it also made people feel tormented. If they could not make a breakthrough in the kidnapping case, Li Ai Guo would feel guilty and restless, he did not want to see homicide cases coming up. On the side of the cultural relics, the truth was that Li Ai Guo did not put much importance to it. After all, the box had been left in the mountains, if they carefully searched in the future, maybe someday it could be found.

The most important factor was that the pressure of public opinion was too heavy, which crushed people until they could not breathe.

The person sent by the sub-bureau to deliver the news was a policewoman, she excitedly told Li Ai Guo about the entire process.

Li Ai Guo …recently, the animals from Cuilian Mountain have been very active ah!

Li Ai Guo touched the change of fortune talisman in his pocket that he had sneakily gotten, Could it be that it took effect? For it to change my fortune now, it was a bit too fast.

Last night, his mom had just gotten one for him, and today a miracle had fallen from the sky.

It doesn’t matter how it was delivered back; the important part is that the cultural relics are back. Li Ai Guo was suddenly a bit excited, he smiled confidently and expectantly, “Then I must notify the people that should know about this good news.”

Translator’s comments:

Li Ai Guo is so petty LOL.

Translator’s notes:

[1] Sichuan face changing refers to the face changing Chinese dramatic art that is part of Sichuan opera. According to Wikipedia, performers wear brightly colored costumed and move to quick, dramatic music. They wear vividly colored masks and change from one to another almost instantaneously with the swipe of a fan, a movement of the head, or the wave of a hand.

[2] No idea what type 86 means. Probably the year, batch, or model of the military use canteen.

[3] Idiomatic expression ‘喜出望外 (xǐ chū wàng wài)’: lit. translation: ‘happiness going out and hope outside’. It means ‘to be pleased beyond one’s expectations’.
