The alarm bells rang instantly in his mind.

Lu Zixun flipped over and jumped right out of the shed, as an armor-piercing bullet landed where he had been lying.

The wave it kicked up toppled Lu Zixun, and a searing pain shot through his back. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Lu Zixun rose from the ground with murderous intent in his eyes, looking in the direction from where the armor-piercing bullet had come.

It really was an enemy attack, they had even used a sniper rifle.

He looked into the pitch-dark, unable to spot the sniper.

Hiding behind cover, Lu Zixun’s gaze gradually deepened.

He had to think of something, or the Ye Family would eventually play him to death.

The rain that had stopped earlier now began again, drizzling down on Lu Zixun.

Lu Zixun felt a chill.

He squatted there for a while.

Xiong Kang hurried over.

Seeing the metal shed destroyed by the armor-piercing bullet and Lu Zixun sitting beside it, letting the rain fall on him, he immediately understood what had happened.

"Ding—Detected Heartache Value from Xiong Kang +4000."

He took off his coat, covered Lu Zixun with it, bent down, and lifted Lu Zixun, his eyes covered with a layer of piercing cold.

"I swear—I’m going to get justice for you from those damned Ye bastards!"

Carrying Lu Zixun, he left the platform directly.

Ye Changming, observing every movement on the rooftop from another building, smiled.

The next second.

Seeing Lu Zixun running back to the rooftop, the smile on Ye Changming’s face froze.

His brows tightly knitted, he couldn’t understand why Lu Zixun had run back.

Usually, Lu Zixun didn’t think things through because it was too tiring for him to use his brain.

But this time, the actions of the Ye Family had thoroughly enraged Lu Zixun.

After pondering carefully, Lu Zixun felt a chill in his heart about the Ye Family’s intentions.

If he were to let Xiong Kang find a justification with the Ye Family as planned, it would play right into their hands.

Those two Class A Genetic Optimization Soldiers may not be Ye Family’s men.

But one thing Lu Zixun was certain of—they definitely wouldn’t stand up for him.

Moreover, Lu Zixun recalled what Xiong Kang had mentioned earlier: the Ye Family was definitely monitoring him from somewhere.

Linking all these events together, Lu Zixun had a rough idea of what the Ye Family wanted to do.

Gai Yue hadn’t attacked Lu Zixun at first; instead, she tried to persuade him kindly.

If the Ye Family recorded this scene, they could explain why they had sniped at Lu Zixun.

Not only explaining the irregular action, but also the evidence of Lu Zixun belonging to the Mutant Beasts was settled.

After telling Xiong to hurry and investigate the matter of Abnormal Creatures, Lu Zixun jumped out of Xiong Kang’s arms and returned to continue lying on the rooftop.

The tiger doesn’t show its power, and they really treat him like a little kitty!

"I told you this cat isn’t simple."

Gai Yue, lying on the couch, looked at Ye Changming’s gloomy face and leisurely made a remark.

"Just a bit cunning, but in the end, still a beast."

Ye Changming sneered, tossing the binoculars to Ye Guxin.

His gaze landed on Gai Yue: "How prepared are your people?"

"Ready to move at any moment, just waiting for STO’s inspection team now."

Turning over to lie on the couch, Gai Yue continued, "You’re really strange, neglecting high responsibilities and instead thinking how to cause division. You truly are suitable to become one of my people."

"You guys are like this too?"

Ye Changming glanced indifferently at Gai Yue and said,

"Of course not."

Pausing for a moment, Gai Yue chuckled lightly, "I was just saying your cold-blooded nature is particularly well-suited."

"Thanks for the compliment."

He replied blandly.

Ye Changming turned his head to look out of the window at Chunhua City, enveloped in rainwater.

Stretching his body, Gai Yue wasn’t annoyed by Ye Changming’s attitude. "What will you do next, just wait for that cat to make a mistake?"

"Make a mistake?"

As he opened his laptop, Ye Changming’s face, illuminated by the screen, looked uncertain, "Rather than saying waiting for it to make a mistake, it’s better to say... waiting for the most suitable opportunity."

"Oh?"

With an intrigued smile, Gai Yue brightened up and sat up from the sofa.

Looking at Ye Changming, he said, "Are you planning to pin the blame for the Alien Race invasion on Long Jiuri and his group?"

With a non-committal smile, Ye Changming remained silent.

After a while.

Gai Yue said indifferently, "I’m hungry."

Raising his eyes to glance at Gai Yue, Ye Changming waved his arm.

Ye Guxin’s face held an incredulous expression as he covered his throat, which spurted blood outward, and fell to the ground.

"Eat gracefully, don’t leave any blood behind."

Kicking Ye Guxin in front of Gai Yue, Ye Changming advised.

Since the sniper incident, Lu Zixun, lying on the rooftop, felt bored and listless.

The night passed without any incident.

The dawn’s light shone on the city washed by the heavy rain.

Smelling the noticeably fresher air, Lu Zixun yawned as he walked downstairs.

"Ding—Detecting an affection value from Bai Yiyi of +500."

"Lord Cat, are you all right?"

With concerned eyes, Bai Yiyi jogged up to Lu Zixun’s side.

Bending down, she picked up Lu Zixun, checking his body.

Even though he was now a cat, being scrutinized by a woman while held in her arms was something Lu Zixun still couldn’t quite accept.

He pressed Bai Yiyi’s hand with his paw and hurriedly said, "It’s nothing serious, no big problem."

"Ding—Detecting an affinity value from Bai Yiyi of +500."

Bai Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh at Lu Zixun’s behavior, "Lord Cat, are you being shy? It won’t hurt to just check."

With a flip, Lu Zixun landed on the ground from Bai Yiyi’s arms and walked ahead, rolling his eyes, "A little cat must protect itself outdoors and not allow others to mess with it!"

Listening to Lu Zixun’s serious tone, Bai Yiyi laughed uncontrollably.

Following behind Lu Zixun, she asked, "So if I’m not just anyone, does that mean I can mess with you?"

"You’re being unreasonable!"

With a swish of his tail, Lu Zixun brushed against Bai Yiyi’s arm and grumbled, "I remember you were a Star! Can’t you act a bit more like one?"

"Oh, my role now is as your little secretary, so I can do anything, huh?"

Hearing Bai Yiyi’s coquettish tone, Lu Zixun shook his head.

No one could put up with this; he quickly left Bai Yiyi’s sight.

Bai Yiyi grew anxious and hastily called out, "Where are you going?"

"To take a bath, then sleep!"

His words were followed by a series of hurried meows.

Even though Bai Yiyi couldn’t understand Cat language, she could still detect the exasperated tone of "what has the world come to" from those meows.
