The cat caretaker urgently exclaimed, “The cat has escaped!”

Jia Bing immediately got furious and said, “That cat is my wife’s favorite. If it’s lost, how can I explain it to her? Stop filming! Everyone, put down what you’re doing and hurry to find the cat!”

While Xia Xin was still clueless about the situation, Jia Bing had already followed the caretaker to search for the cat.

At that moment, Gao Xin approached and said, “Looks like we won’t be able to film today. Let’s go; I’ll take you to remove your makeup, and then we can grab something to eat.”

Concerned, Xia Xin asked, “Is the cat alright? Shouldn’t we help the director search for it?”

Gao Xin replied, “You don’t even know where the cat went; how can we search? You’re better off not getting involved.”

Although Xia Xin had a plan to ask the stray cats if they had seen the Ragdoll cat’s whereabouts, she decided to say, “Every little bit helps. If you’re hungry, you go ahead and eat. I’ll assist in searching for the cat.”

Gao Xin didn’t have the time to join the search for the cat, so she allowed Xia Xin to go.

After removing her makeup, Xia Xin obtained a picture of the cat and hit the streets. She remembered there was a place nearby where stray cats gathered. She headed there first, approaching the stray cats and using the Beast Language System to ask if they had seen a white Ragdoll cat.

Those cats were familiar with Xia Xin because she had fed them before, and with the help of the Beast Language System, they listened attentively to her.

One cat eagerly said, “We think we saw a white cat running out from where you came.”

Excited, Xia Xin asked, “Do you know where it went?”

The stray cat shook its head and said, “That cat seemed very proud. It said we were dirty and didn’t want to get close to us.”

Xia Xin apologized on behalf of the Ragdoll cat and continued, “This cat belongs to my friend and is very important to him. Can you help me find it?” All the stray cats nodded and then gathered nearby cats to search together. About half an hour later, a calico cat came over to Xia Xin and said they had found the cat. It had fallen into a pond but had just been rescued.

Xia Xin had the stray cats lead her to the Ragdoll cat. So, a scene unfolded on the street: a calico cat led a person on a wild chase through the streets, heading towards the pond.

When Xia Xin arrived, she saw the soaking-wet white Ragdoll cat trembling in a man’s arms. It seemed to have been severely frightened by the ordeal.

Approaching them, Xia Xin focused on the Ragdoll cat, not noticing the identity of the man. She politely said, “Sir, hello. This cat belongs to me. Thank you for saving it. Please return it to me, and I’d like to offer you my gratitude.”

The man appeared unwilling, speaking in an unfriendly tone, “You claim this cat is yours, but how can I trust you? Maybe you want to sell the valuable Ragdoll cat for money?”

Xia Xin originally reached out to take the cat but was dodged by the man, leaving her hand awkwardly hanging in the air. She withdrew her hand, furrowing her brow as she looked up at the man. Suddenly, she felt that he looked somewhat familiar. After some thought, she realized he was the man who had attempted to assault Wu Jia that night!

Despite his tall and ordinary appearance, he hadn’t stood out in the crowd, so Xia Xin hadn’t immediately recognized him. By sheer coincidence, Xia Xin hadn’t expected to encounter him again.

The man sneered, “Don’t praise yourself too much. I think you’re the one after money. First, you accused me of attempted rape, and now you’ve come to claim this cat. Are you targeting valuable cats? You people are quite selective.”

Xia Xin retorted, “Don’t give yourself undue credit. I believe you’re the one driven by money. If it weren’t for the cat’s value, you wouldn’t have gone down to save it.”

While they were locked in this confrontation, someone from the crowd approached them, asking, “Why are you two arguing? You found the cat, so why don’t you hurry and return it to the director?”

Both Xia Xin and the man turned simultaneously to look at the newcomer, and to their surprise, it was MO Shu.

Xia Xin and the man simultaneously said to Mo Shu, “Quick, call the police and have this man arrested!”

Again, they turned to each other, this time in unison, and said, “Do you know each other?”
