Chapter 251

Ling Yue's eyes sank deep, and not long after, the little cat appeared on the screen.

Upon seeing it, the netizens were all stunned.

【How, how beautiful!】

【So bright and shiny, if you don't look closely I thought it was a big lump of gold, goodness, this golden gradient cat has a lot of fur, its color smooth and dense, simply gorgeous!】

【But, the little cat seems rather unhappy, huh?】

【How come I feel a bit familiar?】

"Hiss!" I stole an electric bike and got rich froze mid‑action; in the frame, the fresh and ferocious scar on the back of his hand was clearly visible, overlapping with the old scratches underneath.

Shocking blood gushed out, and he had actually been scratched!

In the blink of an eye, the golden gradient cat shot up and climbed onto the wardrobe.

I stole an electric bike and got rich laughed and said vaguely: "I don't know why either; it's been irritable these days, unwilling to interact with people—look, it's practically vicious!"

【Could it be in heat? After all, spring has arrived】

【Holy shit, this wound is deep; definitely need a rabies shot!】

【Brother, you look so unassuming, yet in such a shabby environment you've managed to keep the cat so well!】

The man glanced at the scrolling comments on the screen, a flicker of intense malice crossing his eyes; he looked up and called out fervently to the little cat, but after shouting for a while, it was to no avail.

"I don't even know when I offended it; its temper is just too fierce!"

He complained, while the cat on the cabinet licked its paw pad; hearing this, it suddenly stopped moving, and a string of sharp meows squeezed out of its throat.

"Liar! Deceiver! Nonsense!"

"You're not my owner!"

Ling Yue's gaze stalled, then suddenly fell on the little cat; everyone could see her expression grow solemn, including the consultant, who couldn't help but feel a pang of unease.

"Could it be that you, the streamer, actually understand cat speech?" he muttered under his breath, every word captured on camera, and the netizens who heard it were stunned.

What does that mean? Could it be that this person doesn't believe in our streamer's ability?

Ling Yue should be the one who heard it most clearly.

This remark alone proves he did it on purpose; he probably lacks confidence in himself, which is why he dares to livestream before hundreds of millions of viewers.

I stole an electric bike and got rich quickly reacted, covering up: "Streamer, I didn't mean that; let's drop that topic, please help us—look at our Fortune, it's getting so thin!"

He swiftly changed the subject, pointing the camera at the cat; the golden gradient kitten's appearance is absolutely stunning, its only flaw being too thin.

Meanwhile, he added his worried narration: "I'm about to hate myself; Fortune is my heart and belly's sweet treasure—if anything happens to it, what am I to do!"

The netizens before the camera hearing this couldn't help but shiver.

【Holy crap, this is way too cheesy!】

【I don't know why, but listening to this feels so cloying and fake!】

Some people were actually taken in by him: 【Maybe he's just desperate for his cat's love—our feline lord, never mind not eating, if it misses a single urination I'd panic, I'd practically rush it to the pet hospital right away!】

At the same time, an experienced litter‑cleaner could tell at a glance that the cat's thinness was due to malnutrition—looking fluffy on the outside but actually just bloated, and couldn't help but worry for the cat.

"Meow meow meow meow meow!" The cued cat Fortune suddenly yowled, its fur exploding outward at visible speed.

"Who's Fortune? Your whole family is Fortune!"

The cat's sharp eyes locked onto the humans below, it angrily flicked its soft, fluffy big tail: "You thief! You're not my owner!"

Ling Yue vaguely guessed something, her gaze toward the consultant narrowing slightly.

She suddenly spoke, not answering his question, her gaze sweeping over his face as her pupils sharply contracted, she declared firmly: "You've recently come into a windfall."

"Your days must be going well—radiant face, full of springtime pride."

He was taken aback, his gaze toward Ling Yue full of surprise: "How would you know?"

Ling Yue smiled faintly: "I also know that another thing is about to happen to you."

"Is it a happy event? Am I going to get rich again?" greed gleaming in his eyes made one feel disgust—could he be too money‑hungry?

Added to the previously crafted cat‑lover image that was already far‑fetched, hearing this he instantly forgot the cat and began pressing Ling Yue on whether she herself was about to get rich.

Even the netizens who had just been swayed couldn't help but doubt.

【Does he really like cats that much? Why did the streamer's few words make him toss aside what he just said?】

【I get it, it must be like this!】

【Huh? What does that mean?】

【The consultant has senile dementia! That's why he talks and forgets! Sometimes he even forgets to feed the cat, so the cat's thinness is purely from hunger!】

【Um… good guess, don't guess again next time!】

Ling Yue hung up the phone, came back to, and glanced at the comments, almost bursting with laughter—where did this clueless duo come from? She cleared her throat and reminded the "senile dementia consultant": "Do you still remember what you came to consult about?"

I stole an electric bike and got rich snapped back to, feeling terribly guilty, his voice dropping to a whisper, he dared not look at Ling Yue: "St‑streamer."

He had already started to retreat in his heart.

Ling Yue, however, glanced at the cat: "Is this really your little cat? Or was it a poor little cat stolen from home?"

【!!! What does the streamer mean?】

【Guys, quick look—that consultant, his face turned white in an instant!】

The stream's netizens instinctively glanced at Huang Mao, who indeed turned deathly pale, his complexion matching the white wall beside him, making people suspect——

【Damn! With that ghoulish look, if it weren't daytime he'd almost have sent me packing!】

【He must have done something guilty!】

At that moment, before the camera, the consultant could barely stand, staring dumbfounded at Ling Yue: "You, you—what nonsense are you spouting? Don't slander me—I have the right to sue you!"

Ling Yue snorted: "You dare go to the police station?"

"Mianmian, come here."

She called out, and the previously irritable little cat suddenly paused, poked its head around to look all about, and finally fixed its gaze on the camera.

There's a human there, she's calling my name!

The kitten cried cutely, its sweetness off the charts; even through the screen it made one's nerves go soft.

"Is it you calling me?"

【Ahhh, such a cute and soft cat call, it poked my heart right away! 【heart heart】】

【My family's silly son was just watching the livestream with me; hearing the sound, he jumped up, looked around, and his soul was basically called away by the kitten!】

【So, is this the correct way to open a cat repair? 【surprised】【surprised】】

Not to mention others, even the consultant himself was dazed for a moment, then reacted, his face looking awful; his gaze at the kitten made the kitten on the wardrobe instantly retract its head.

"Whimper, Mianmian is so scared, Mom, where are you?"

It half poked its head out, softly cooing, hearing it made people's hearts go soft to the point of mush.

Ling Yue spoke to soothe the kitten, said a few more words, the kitten instantly perked up its ears; there was timidity in its eyes, but it was no longer helpless as before, instead it became resolute.

It meowed: "You, you really mean it? I promise you, sniffle, I will definitely do it!"

It lay atop the wardrobe, its glass-like cat eyes fixed unblinkingly on the anti-theft door.

Ling Yue then turned to the consultant, seeing his Yintang growing darker, she couldn't help but smile: "Weren't you just curious about the other thing I mentioned? Now I can tell you."

I, who was about to close the livestream, after stealing an electric bike and getting rich, was startled; but curiosity won out—he had also loitered in Ling Yue's livestream before, knowing she was a hidden occult master, and that earlier love-triangle reversal had utterly stunned him!

He swallowed his saliva, couldn't help asking: "What did you calculate? Am I going to get rich again?"

【Damn it, please don't let it be like this!】

【This bastard looks like a bad person at first glance!】

Ling Yue gave a mysterious smile: "Yes, you will get rich, you will happily receive a pair of silver handcuffs, and for the rest of your life you'll have no worries about food and clothing."

As soon as she finished speaking, the consultant's expression stiffened at visible speed; a thought popped into his mind, he was like a dog backed into a corner, furious and powerless, he roared: "What nonsense are you spouting? You worthless person, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Ling Yue coldly watched him go insane.

Recalling the previous scene I saw.

Huang Mao was the POV; he disguised as staff and sneaked into the villa area; earlier he had already taken a liking to one villa, learned the owner usually wasn't home during the day and there were few servants, after cutting the power he boldly slipped inside.

He went straight into the bedroom, clearing out the jewelry on the dressing table; greedy as he was, he didn't notice the ajar door had been pushed open a crack.

With the owner away, the kitten is the boss!

It was eating and drinking, hearing the movement, it climbed the stairs all the way; before even entering the door it smelled a strange scent and instantly became alert.

In the door crack, a round little head poked out, its cat eyes clearly reflecting a human silhouette; right beside the cabinet the owner forbids the kitten from touching, he was actually standing there!

He was taking the owner's things!

He threw away my little duck!

The kitten instantly bristled, fur standing on end: "Meow whimper!"

It lunged forward, attacking, its sharp claws scraping the floor as it grabbed: "Put down the owner's stuff! Return my little duck!"

The man was suddenly scratched, the sight of blood instantly igniting his fury; he not only ransacked the bedroom, but grabbed the kitten and fled.

He covered the kitten's mouth; after escaping, seeing it motionless he thought it was dead, about to toss it, but the kitten moved: "Damn beast!"

The wound on his back of hand made him furious to the extreme, wishing to smash it dead; his gaze swept over the golden fur, and instead he halted his action.

I heard people say, what is this golden gradient? It should be worth a bit if sold.

The ignorant thief didn't know; the jewelry he'd collected were almost all collectible antiques, and precisely because of that he dealt with them especially cautiously, already strapped for cash before the payment even arrived.

He set his sights on the kitten; a top-quality show cat could sell for ten thousand, but because the kitten was on a hunger strike, it was too thin and got rejected.

The thief was furious to death; ironically, he ended up connecting to Ling Yue's livestream, which led to this scene.

Getting back to the point, the livestream chatters had already guessed Ling Yue's meaning, and instantly they were overjoyed.

【Silver handcuffs, no worries about food and clothing—this isn't just going to jail?!】

【Holy shit, this person is still a criminal?! He still dares to livestream, utterly brazen, sickening!】

【Indeed, it wasn't just discovered by our streamer.】

Huang Mao's face fierce, he suddenly panicked, about to shut the livestream; just then a thumping knock sounded, and in that instant, bloodless, he stared at the trembling door.

A loud male voice came through the crack: "Open up, property checking the water meter."

Huang Mao was completely dumbfounded, instinctively rushing to lock the door, but a fluffy golden figure beat him to it!

"Click!"

The door burst open, the kitten Mianmian deftly opened it and darted outward, but after just a few steps it was drawn by a familiar scent and urgently meowed.

"Mianmian!" a hoarse female voice rang out; the kitten was instantly scooped into an embrace, its sobs mingling with tears that dampened its smooth fur.

The fit police officer immediately rushed in, applied a reverse arm lock, twisting the suspect's arms like catching a chicken, and pressed him to the floor.

"Thump thump thump! Bang bang bang!"

The chaotic sound rose like a sudden symphony; though the picture couldn't be seen, from the noise one could tell the scene was intensely fierce.

"Click——"

A pair of gleaming silver handcuffs fell onto Huang Mao's wrist: "Lin Fei, you are suspected of burglary, you're under arrest!"

In the livestream, the viewers who heard this were stunned; although they'd guessed it, they never expected the police to arrive so fast!

Soon someone noticed that Ling Yue seemed not very surprised.

Smart folks instantly recalled earlier, she seemed to have disappeared from the livestream for a while, and they began asking——

【Streamer, why aren't you the slightest bit curious? The police response is way too fast!】

Ling Yue frankly admitted: "Because I was the one who called the police."

The livestream chatters: "!!!"

【Streamer, hurry up and tell us, quickly tell us how you knew?】

【It must have been the kitten that told you!】

Ling Yue snapped her fingers: "Congratulations, you guessed right!"

She sat upright and proper, explaining: "From the very beginning, I felt that Number Two didn't much like the cat; his gaze at the cat was like he was sizing up an object. I also heard the cat's cry for help and immediately guessed it might not be his cat. As for the later complaints, you probably know—tedious and insincere."

The viewers were filled with emotion.

【The kitty is just a kitty; if it hadn't opened the door just now, the police would probably have had to go through a lot of trouble.】

【Did you hear that just now? Her owner is crying her heart out! She definitely already treats the kitty as family; if our family's dog got lost, I'd be bawling my eyes out!】

At that moment, the pitch-black camera suddenly lit up; on the screen, a woman with beautiful features and red-rimmed eyes looked at the lens, her expression surprised and curious: "Live stream?"

【Hi! Miss, how are you? Are you Fluffy's owner?】

【Congratulations, Miss, you finally found Fluffy!】

【Miss, you must not let the robber off; let him go to jail, preferably for life!】

Friendly or indignant remarks left Yunnai somewhat bewildered, and she couldn't help asking: "Who are you—"

"Meow~ meow~" the little cat Fluffy in her arms stretched out its paws, pressed them against the phone, its round, watery cat eyes looking at Ling Yue: "Kind human, thank you for helping me just now QWQ"

Kitties are the most grateful; without kind humans, it wouldn't know when it could see its owner again, or if it could ever be together with them.

Thinking this, Fluffy's nose soured, tears welling in her red-rimmed eyes and spilling over: "Fluffy is so scared……"

The owner had always been watching it; seeing this, her heart nearly broke, she gripped its tiny paws: "Fluffy, Fluffy, why are you crying? Don't cry—I will never leave you alone at home again; that bastard will surely be punished!"

Her last words were icy and stern, like an iceberg.

She too, thanks to the viewers' explanations in the live stream, learned the full story; looking at Ling Yue again, her gaze instantly shifted to become respectful and grateful.

"Thank you! Thank you, streamer."

She could hardly imagine what her life would be like if she lost Fluffy.

Ling Yue shook her head and smiled brightly: "You should also thank yourself."

The owner blinked, then heard Ling Yue say: "You treat Fluffy as your own child, and this change shows in your children palace; according to metaphysical theory, she is now your child, and since you usually accumulate virtue and do good, your merit protects you and also your descendants."

Upon hearing this for the first time, the owner couldn't help widening her eyes; she lowered her head to look at the equally surprised kitten, curled her lips into a smile: "I really like this saying."

"I'm a non-marriage advocate, have no children, and don't plan to have any; Fluffy is my only child."

"Fluffy, Mommy loves you."

She gently stroked the kitten, lowered her head to give it a kiss; Fluffy shyly hid in the owner's arms, refusing to show her face anymore—aside from appearance, she is completely a little child.

Seeing this, the viewers were both moved and relieved.

【So pets can count as children? I'm still hearing this for the first time; I have three little brats at home, and every day this bunch of rascals drives me up the wall—this is hardly a cute kitten, it's clearly a debt collector!】

【……How about sending me one? I'll help you share the burden?】

【Just hearing that upstairs is showing off—like me, raising pets in the cloud, totally no burden.】

【But you can't touch the kitten (=^o^=)】

【But you can't touch the kitten (=^o^=)】

The lineup was neat and tidy; no one said who was angry, and as for the thief who stole the cat, curious netizens also looked it up, only to discover it was actually linked to recent news.

In a certain villa district, the victim of a burglary lost not only tens of millions in jewelry but also the cat raised from childhood; the owner offered a one-million reward, and the whole world is searching for the cat.

No one expected to see it in Ling Yue's live stream—no wonder someone earlier felt it was familiar.

Someone posted a comparison picture: the first photo shows the cat round and lustrous, dressed in ancient attire, giving off a rich and dignified aura—a truly plump, beautiful cat!

In the second photo, even her pointed chin has slimmed down; her jade-green big eyes are watery, making anyone who sees them unable to bear it.

【One is a carefree little princess, the other a troubled little waif in chaotic times—the thief is too hateful!】

【Rumor has it he stole tens of millions in valuables; at minimum he'll serve ten years, and if severe, maybe life imprisonment!】

【Satisfying!】

The livestream continued, but after this consultee was drawn, the barrage was all teasing.

【Number Two's already in, Number Three better hold on!】

【Number Three: QAQ How about just skipping me?】

【The pressure instantly fell on Number Three; everyone went 'gee gee', welcoming Number Three as the consult (big) inquire (wrong) person (type).】

Ling Yue rubbed her forehead, seeing the consultee's name, and couldn't help but start: "Memphis Zoo, may I ask what you'd like to consult about?"

Her voice sounded a bit low; she didn't use congratulations again, but directly sent a link—some sensitive viewers seemed to sense something, yet they just couldn't figure it out.

【Memphis Zoo? Sounds like a foreign zoo; has our Yueyue's fame already gone overseas, reaching the world?】

【Yueyue fans proud 【pat belly】【pat belly】】

The dark screen suddenly lit up; a man with a big nose, white skin, and a mature appearance appeared before the camera, opening with a warm greeting: "Dear streamer, hello."

Ling Yue responded neutrally: "Hello."

A flicker of resistance and heaviness crossed her eyes; she softly asked: "May I ask what you'd like to consult about?",,.
