Chapter 488: Cat Language and New Colleagues

【Connected Person: Someone who has obtained special treatment or priority allocation of resources through interpersonal relationships and networks】

【Wearing Effect: When performing your duties, your work efficiency will be improved, and you will be more likely to obtain help from within the organization and support from all relevant resources】

【Advancement Route: After solving more difficult tasks alone multiple times, or leading teams to complete relatively important tasks multiple times, this badge will automatically advance to the Silver badge "Business Backbone"】

【Hidden Characteristic (No need to wear): Due to your status as a Connected Person, you will be more likely to gain the appreciation of superiors after performing meritorious service, and your promotion speed will increase accordingly.

But at the same time, because of your status as a Connected Person, colleagues at the same level and lower positions may have a lower evaluation of your abilities】

"..."

Forget it. Since the promotion is faster and it's easier to obtain the Cleanup Bureau's resource support, let the evaluation be lower. As long as the benefits are in hand, that's fine.

After closing the badge panel with a complex mood, Li Ang carefully tucked away his ID and said goodbye again:

"Thank you, Director. If there's nothing else..."

"There is still something~"

After calling out to Li Ang once again, looking at his speechless expression, the red-haired Director curled her lips mischievously, then took a letter from the drawer and pushed it across the table.

"Here, that witch has replied to your letter. As long as you finish reading this letter, the Witch's Broom can be reactivated, and the mission to infiltrate the Laien family can continue."

As long as I finish reading this letter, it will work?

Looking at the strange red envelope tightly bound by a wide strap on the table, Li Ang didn't dare to reach out for a moment, but looked at the red-haired Director with some hesitation.

"Director, if I open this letter, will it turn into the shape of a mouth and then roar crazily at me?"

"Hmm?"

After looking at Li Ang with some surprise, the red-haired Director asked curiously:

"How did you know? Could it be that you've met other witches and were sent a Howler letter by her?"

"..."

So it really is one?!

"No... I haven't seen a witch in my life..."

Picking up the envelope with extreme speechlessness, Li Ang, while biting the bullet to open the letter, casually bluffed:

"I just read a novel about wizards. The author wrote in it that when wizards get angry, they send letters that can shout and scream at others... Holy crap!"

The opened envelope suddenly turned into a big mouth, biting Li Ang's finger, while the strap used to bind the envelope, which had small triangular teeth at the end, began to scratch crazily on the back of his hand like a cat's paw.

However, although it was aggressive, the material was paper and thin silk ribbon after all. This "Howler letter" fussed and bit at Li Ang's hand for a long time, but in the end, it couldn't leave a single scratch.

After a while, this letter was probably tired of scratching and stopped to rest for a while. Then, the two corners of the envelope stood up slightly, arching into the shape of cat ears, and opened its "mouth" to roar at Li Ang.

"Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow meow meow!"

"..."

"She says you are the rudest, most impolite, and most barbaric human she has ever seen in her life."

After tilting her head to listen to the meowing for a while, the red-haired Director translated with a smile:

"She says she will never forget the humiliation you brought her in this life, the next life, and the life after that, especially when you pointed at a basin full of sand and asked if she could use it as a toilet."

"..."

How was I supposed to know you weren't an ordinary cat...

After hearing the red-haired Director's translation, Li Ang couldn't help but scratch the back of his head helplessly.

The cat in Harry Potter eats cat food, eats little dried fish, and uses a cat toilet. I thought that since you were also a cat raised by a wizard, you should be about the same. Who knew your intelligence was about the same as an ordinary human...

After looking at Li Ang, who was depressed from being meowed at, the red-haired Director, as the culprit, didn't think it was a big deal and continued to translate with a smile:

"She asks you if you know how much damage doing this would cause to a lady?"

"..."

Got it, got it. I guess it's about equal to a slap in the face, right?

After opening his mouth speechlessly, Li Ang, while listening to the obviously angry meowing, asked the red-haired Director curiously:

"Director, you actually understand cat language?"

The red-haired Director shook her head:

"I don't." Li Ang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"Is it some kind of telepathy?"

"No."

After giving Li Ang a mischievous smile, the red-haired Director answered:

"I guessed~"

"..."

Guessed... I think you're just uncomfortable because you have no wine to drink, so you've started teasing people again, right? I really shouldn't have asked you...

After secretly glaring at her speechlessly, Li Ang silently finished listening to the "meowing letter," then pushed the door and left the office, wanting to check the situation of the Witch's Broom. However, just as he pulled open the office door, he bumped into a thin, small man.

"Ah! Sorry!"

Although the man wasn't tall, his physique was surprisingly sturdy. After bumping Li Ang into a stagger, he hurriedly reached out to support him and said with a face full of apology:

"I was in a hurry to report to the Director and didn't pay attention for a moment..."

"It's fine, it's fine. I was also in a bit of a hurry when I just left."

Although he was bumped a bit painfully, seeing the short man's guilty expression, Li Ang smiled, waved his hand to indicate it was okay, and then walked quickly away from the Director's office.

And after his footsteps could no longer be heard, the man who had just been full of guilt giggled, looked up at the red-haired Director behind the desk, and asked curiously:

"Director, why was there a cat meowing in the room just now? It seemed to be saying something about a basin toilet and a lady's shame. Are you raising a cat?"

"Forget it, I wouldn't dare raise a cat, especially when someone like you is around."

After glancing at the short man, the red-haired Director knocked on the table with her knuckles and asked with a serious expression:

"How did the matter I asked you to handle go? Did you find out who invited that Holy Spirit of the Chengjin Sect?"

"Since you let me take action, naturally I was able to find out."

The short man smiled confidently upon hearing this:

"I controlled 300,000 ants and checked the aura of everyone who had been to the shopping plaza these past few days. I found that only a few dozen had traces of contact with the Chengjin Sect."

"Then I sent out 20,000 rats and 3,000 crows to monitor and listen in on those few dozen people day and night, locked onto the most suspicious target, and then..."

"Alright, alright, I know you've worked hard."

Looking at the man who was indirectly asking for credit, the red-haired Director couldn't help but rub her temples and promised directly:

"This time counts as a great merit for you. The Bureau will reimburse the food expenses for those animals! Calculate it directly by the month! And there's a bonus! Tell me the result quickly!"

"Okay, then I'll thank you on their behalf~"

After saying thank you with a grin, the short man continued his report:

"The result is that the person who invited the Holy Spirit is the three families that conspired to frame Charle Department Store before... Oh, also, my rats dug through the secret room of the Rose family mansion and heard some news."

"Those three families couldn't compete in legitimate business, and after inviting the Holy Spirit to cause trouble, they were cleaned up by our Bureau, so they thought of a way to kidnap the only daughter of the Charle Department Store owner, preparing to use force to coerce him into submission!"

"Got it. These damn nobles are really troublesome!"

After reaching out to rub her temples, the red-haired Director said with a headache:

"And then? They didn't invite anything else, did they?"

"No more."

The short man shook his head:

"It's hard to say about the future, but at least these past few days, I haven't seen them have any movements."

"Okay, then continue to keep them under surveillance. During the time you monitor them, the Bureau will pay double the food expenses for those 'friends' of yours... Oh, right."

When she said this, the red-haired Director's eyes narrowed slightly, and she reached out toward the short man.

"What did you steal from Li Ang just now? Take it out and let me see!"
