You Bo absolutely hadn’t expected such a strange unexpected calamity to suddenly descended upon him at alll.
By the time he reacted, a few blood stains had been scratched on his face by a cat who had come out of nowhere. You Bo felt pain, and reflexively reached out to scratched the cat on his face.
When Li Zhenruo noticed that You Bo stretched out his hand, he actually expected such reaction. So he stomped his legs on top of his head, scratched again, and then jumped from him to the ground without fighting, turned around, and ran.
He was afraid that once You Bo caught him, it would be difficult for him to run away, and he would be scrapped here on the spot.
But when he fell to the ground, he was confident that You Bo couldn’t catch him and scurried after the waiter into the private room for a while, and then got out through the window.
You Bo stumbled over and ran into a waiter, who saw his face covered in blood and screamed, and the plate in her hand was dropped.
Li Zhenruo got out of the window, found another private room and got in, jumped up and unlocked the door, walked into the corridor to find another one person bathroom, and hid in it.
After changing back into a human form and washing his hands slowly, Li Zhenruo opened the bathroom door and went out, and found that the corridor was a little noisy.
He grabbed a waiter who hurried over and asked strangely, “What happened?”
The waiter couldn’t understand the situation either, and replied, “I heard that a guest was attacked.”
“Attacked?” Li Zhenruo looked surprised.
And the waiter hurried forward.
Li Zhenruo was also curious and followed the waiter to see. He didn’t see You Bo’s people and only saw a group of waiters gathered together, pointing at the crime scene at the door of the bathroom, some of them who knew what happened said, “That guest’s whole face was scratched until blood come out by the cat.”
“Where’s the cat from?”
Everyone was at a loss, not knowing where the cat came from.
You Bo didn’t go back to the private room and was escorted directly to the hospital by his subordinates. The holes on his face were made by Li Zhenruo himself, some deep and some shallow, anyway, it was enough for him to suffer. He won’t be able to see anyone in a short time.
As for this pot, it could only be left to the restaurant owner to carry.
Li Zhenruo opened the door of the private room and went in. There were only three Li brothers left, plus Su Yao and Yu Bingwei who were neither staying nor leaving.
They obviously already knew about You Bo’s injury just now, and the atmosphere was a little weird now.
Although Li Zhenzi knew he was in the wrong, he said, “I don’t agree to help You Bo as a guarantee.” However, he had no confidence in what he said, and he looked at the table instead of Li Zhentai.
Li Zhentai said, “Then what do you say? Can you handle this matter successfully?”
Li Zhenzi said, “We are afraid of him? Can’t fight him?”
Li Zhentai patted the table, “He is a triad, we are not! If it weren’t for you, would this matter have come to this point? How about you find someone to kill him?”
When he heard Li Zhentai’s words, Li Zhenzi suddenly lost his voice. However, he still seemed very irritable, his chest heaving violently.
At this moment, Yu Bingwei suddenly stood up with her bag and said politely, “If there is nothing to do here, may I leave first, Mr. Li?”
No one knew which Mr. Li she was calling. Perhaps in her opinion, she couldn’t afford to offend anyone.
Li Zhentai’s words were also very polite, and he said to her, “I’m sorry for involving you, we will properly resolve this matter.” However, although the words sounded polite, the tone did not seem to have much sincerity.
Li Zhenruo felt that Li Zhentai somewhat despised Yu Bingwei.
Yu Bingwei didn’t care, she just nodded and walked towards the door of the private room with her bag.
“Weiwei!” Li Zhenzi suddenly shouted. Li Zhenzi wanted to chase, but even turning the wheelchair seemed difficult.
Yu Bingwei stopped and turned to look at him, “What is it that Mr. Li want to say?”
Li Zhenzi really stopped Yu Bingwei but she seemed a little annoyed. He finally said, “Shall I arrange for you to go out to avoid it for a while?”
Yu Bingwei took a deep breath and replied, “Thank you, Mr. Li, if you can.” She and Li Zhenzi had already broken up. Although everyone thought that their relationship was nothing more than a consensual sponsorship, only she knew the feelings she had put into the relationship.
Li Zhenzi didn’t owe her anything, and she already got what she wanted, so she couldn’t be too greedy, so she retreated in time.
She believed that since she had broken it off, she should do so cleanly and should not accept Li Zhenzi’s favors. But at the same time, she didn’t want to be involved in Li Zhenzi’s grievances with others. If she could avoid it at this time, it would of course be the best for her.
At this point, Li Zhenzi did not pursue the matter further, he only said, “I will let Su Yao help you arrange.”
Yu Bingwei nodded to thank him, her steps were still a little hasty, she walked to the door and saw Li Zhenruo, nodded politely, and then left without looking back.
Li Zhenruo kept looking at Yu Bingwei’s back and saw her walking outside under the leadership of the waiter. When he turned around, he noticed that Li Zhenran was looking at him.
He calmly walked back to Li Zhenran and sat down.
Li Zhentai didn’t pay attention to him, but frowned and said, “How come he got stratched by a cat?”
As soon as this sentence was finished, except for Li Zhenran, who was still staring at Li Zhenruo, the others on the table looked at Li Zhenran at the same time.
Li Zhenran said, “What are you looking at me for?”
Li Zhentai wondered, “Did you bring your cat?”
Perhaps because Li Zhenruo was too intelligent as a cat, now, whenever a cat was mentioned, the Li family would always think of him first.
Moreover, Li Zhentai vaguely heard from You Bo’s subordinates just now that it was a cat with yellow and white fur. As for the breed, they didn’t know what kind of cat it was, and You Bo was not familiar with it either.
They didn’t act too nervous, because no one would think that a cat could be instructed to attack You Bo. They only thought that the wild cat who ran in from nowhere was going crazy and hurting people. What they were most worried about was the cat itself, and what kind of disease infected You Bo through the wound. As for pursuing responsibility, it is natural to look for a restaurant owner.
But Li Zhentai didn’t know why, and suddenly thought about whether Li Zhenran let his cat attack You Bo.
Li Zhenran laughed out loud, “Eldest brother, do you watch too many movies or novels? My cat is normal cat, not a cat demon. Did you think I bring it out today and let it lurk in the dark, wait You Bo went to the toilet and scratched his face?”
After Li Zhenran finished speaking, Li Zhentai also seemed to think his thoughts were ridiculous, shook his head, and said, “Anyway, I will go back and discuss this matter with Dad.”
Li Zhenzi pursed his lips and said nothing.
Li Zhenran asked, “Is it Dad’s intention to make peace with You Bo at such a high price?”
Li Zhentai said, “Dad has been in poor health recently, and have already handed over this matter to me. You can rest assured that a loan as big as a guarantee must also require the signature of Dad, otherwise it will not pass.”
Li Zhenzi said, “I am against it.”
Li Zhentai looked at him with a sneer and said nothing.
Li Zhenran said, “Then it will be a hard matter for you, eldest brother.”
Li Zhenruo looked at Li Zhentai and couldn’t help touching his paws.
Before they left the restaurant, Li Zhentai was going to the bathroom, and he walked towards the corridor alone.
Li Zhenruo looked at his back and said, “I also want to go to the bathroom.”
Li Zhenzi was in a wheelchair and was pushed by Su Yao. When he heard that, he looked up at him, “Aren’t you urinating frequently?”
Li Zhenruo naturally ignored him, squeezed his fingers, and followed Li Zhentai to go there. Just two steps out, Li Zhenran grabbed the collar and stopped him, and said, “Go back.”
Others didn’t know what happened to You Bo just now, but they couldn’t hide it from Li Zhenran.
Now that Li Zhenruo was going to follow Li Zhentai again like previously, Li Zhenran didn’t even have to think about it and knew what his plan was.
Li Zhenruo looked back at him inexplicably, not understanding why he wanted to stop him, and said, “But I want to go.”
Li Zhenran said with an expressionless face, “Hold it on, and go back.”
Li Zhenruo opened his eyes wide and looked innocent, “Why?”
Li Zhenran leaned closer to his ear and said in a deep voice, “I don’t allow you to let it out outside, save it all for me when I get back.”
Li Zhenzi heard their conversation, looked at Li Zhenran with a subtle expression, and couldn’t help but leaned to the side and stayed away from them.
After they came out of the restaurant, Li Zhenran helped Su Yao carry Li Zhenzi into the car, while Li Zhenruo put away the wheelchair and put it in the back compartment.
When Li Zhenran put Li Zhenzi in the back seat of the car, Li Zhenzi said in his ear, “Second brother’s taste is too heavy, you can’t tell.”
Unexpectedly, Li Zhenran didn’t refute, but smiled at him, straightened up, and closed the door.
After saying goodbye to Su Yao, the two returned to their car. Li Zhenruo couldn’t help but ask strangely, “Why didn’t you let me teach Li Zhentai a lesson?”
Li Zhenran said, “If the targeting is too strong, they will suspect me.”
“Suspect you?” Li Zhenruo seemed amused, “Suspect you have raised a cat to attack humans?”
Li Zhenran heard the words, reached out, and touched his head, “Don’t worry, wait for Li Zhentai to get a little more complacent, don’t rush to hit him now.”
Li Zhenruo folded his arms in front of his chest and pondered for a moment. He then said, “Do you think Li Zhentai and You Bo are in the same boat? I always feel that there is something weird about it.”
Li Zhenran said while driving, “It’s good that it looks weird. We all know that Li Zhentai is up to something, and now, he finally revealed something to us. It’s not good to start with him, so let’s start with You Bo.”
Li Zhenruo thought about it and felt that Li Zhentai and You Bo must be calculating something together, but what was strange to him was that there was clearly still Li Jianglin behind Li Zhentai, and it was impossible for him to watch Li Zhentai just sell Yunlin like this, right?
Li Zhenruo said, “Let’s go back and see Dad.”
Li Zhenran glanced at him, “Suddenly calling Dad again?”
Li Zhenruo said, “It’s not your dad or my dad anyway. Whatever we call won’t be right, so it doesn’t matter what you call him.”
Li Zhenran smiled and said, “You go, I’m not going.”
Li Zhenruo was stunned for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Li Zhenran’s expression carefully, but he couldn’t see anything from it. But when he thought about it, Li Zhenran refused to see Li Jianglin because he cared about the relationship between him and Li Jianglin.
When he thought of this, Li Zhenruo said, “It’s okay, I’ll go by myself.”
That night, the Garfield, who had been away from Li’s house for several days, slipped back alone. He was too familiar with this place, and as a cat, he wasn’t afraid even if he was caught by surveillance cameras when he climbed the wall.
He ran in from the corner along the grass in the yard, stopped near Erhuang’s kennel, and ran towards Erhuang.
Erhuang was lying quietly in the nest and was about to fall asleep. It suddenly heard a sound in the grass and stood up all of a sudden, twitching its nose along with the wind and smelling the smell, and then it found Li Zhenruo.
Li Zhenruo rushed over and crashed into Er Huang’s arms, Er Huang desperately flicked his tail and circled around him.
