Chapter 647:1 Think He’s Fooling You

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After Mr. Lin cut ties with Lin Mingbai, he no longer cared about Lin Mingbai’s family.

However, while good fortune does not spread, the news of ill tidings travels thousands of miles. It will unknowingly reach one’s ears even if no attention is paid to it.

When Lin Mingbai found out that his son had gotten the Gan family’s daughter pregnant, he did not have much of a reaction. He simply said that they were to marry since he had gotten her pregnant.

Unfortunately, everyone in the Lin family of C City only recognized the second son, Lin Mingzhuo. Lin Mingbai’s family was not worthy of the Gan family’s daughter. Gan Wenyu’s parents felt Lin Jingqi was not good enough for their daughter and did not agree with their relationship. They wanted Gan Wenyu to abort the child and find a better husband.

After dating Gan Wenyu for a while, Lin Jingqi lost interest in her and did not want to be responsible for the child, so he tacitly agreed to the Gan parents’ plan.

Gan Wenyu refused to play along.

Mr. Lin treated Lin Mingbai’s family matter as a topic for casual conversation. He also used this segue to initiate an important conversation with his daughter.

“Lin Jingqi only has himself in his heart. What kind of man is he if he’s so irresponsible?” Lin Gantang said with disdain.

“Look at his father,” Mr. Lin said, “Do you think the apple falls far from the tree?”

He was supposed to look after his brother’s corporation, but not only did he fail to do so, he even allowed others to steal important company secrets without doing anything to rectify the issue.

“If the father is no, his son is unlikely to be much better. After all, they are cut from the same cloth. I only pray that you won’t do things like they did.”

Mr. Lin offered this reminder before letting Lin Gantang leave with Sweet Wine.

In the morning, Lin Gantang took the two of them to be vaccinated and stayed with Wen Yanqing in his home for the rest of the afternoon.

While she continued to edit her video, Wen Yanqing sat by her side and listened to the recording.

While the bookstore was gone, an online platform remained that Lin Gantang managed and kept updated. Lin Gantang opened her inbox and read through the messages she received. Even though she had put up a bounty for clues regarding Fat Huan and Vitamin E, no one had returned to her with anything useful.

[ The poop-picker is kind, but the situation looks bleak. They might already be gone for good… ]

[ Without a home, where would that glutton Fatty Huan find food? Who would the chatterbox talk to? ]

[ It’s just two cats. Wouldn’t the bounty be better spent buying a new kitten? ]

The comments differed; some people even questioned her intentions by offering a bounty for the two missing cats.

Lin Gantang did her best to block out the wave of negativity and uploaded a new video.

The next day, Lin Gantang received a message saying that Vitamin E had been found and urged her to pick the cat up.

From the photo, it did look a little like Vitamin E.

“Yi Qian is coming over in the morning,” Wen Yanqing said, “I still have things to do in the meantime. Would it be alright if I had Xiao Wan accompany you to meet this stranger?”

“Isn’t Xiao Wan a detective?”

“He’s very good at martial arts and has experience finding cats.”

Lin Gantang felt that Xiao Wan would probably cry if he heard Wen Yanqing’s assessment of him. Finding a cat, acting like a driver, and even doubling as a bodyguard were jobs so far outside the job scope of a detective that it was almost laughable.

Not long after, Lin Gantang met up with Xiao Wan. The young man was as energetic as ever.

When Lin Gantang asked him why he was willing to take on the job of accompanying her, Xiao Wan’s enthusiasm reached a new high, and his eyes lit up. “My master said that looking for and identifying cats can train my keen observation skills and reaction speed. If I practice a few more times, I will be an expert detective in the future. I will be the next Sherlock Holmes!”

“Then why didn’t anyone else take the job?” Lin Gantang probed.

“Of course, it’s because Master thinks of me most highly!” Xiao Wan said.

Lin Gantang was silent. ‘I think your master is fooling you.’

At this rate, Xiao Wan might as well change his occupation and become a certified pet detective instead. At least, it would be more profitable than his present income.

Of course, Lin Gantang did not voice these thoughts. Besides, who does not have dreams?

When they arrived at Hejiang Square, the person who had hoped to collect the bounty was already there waiting.

A woman in her forties was carrying a medium-sized iron cage with a cat inside.

“Are you the cat’s owner?” she asked when she saw Lin Gantang and Xiao Wan.

Lin Gantang looked at the cat in the cage. The woman took the cat out and said, “I found it by the trash can. I wanted to raise it myself, but my daughter saw your video and said it looked like your Vitamin E. She asked me to return it to you..”
