Chapter 86: 85 Cat Speech and the New Colleague

85 Cat Speech and the New Colleague

【Connection: A person who obtains special treatment or priority allocation of resources through interpersonal relationships and networks.】

【Wearing Effect: When performing your assigned duties, your work efficiency will increase, and you will more easily obtain assistance within the organization and support from all relevant resources.】

【Progression Path: After independently resolving difficult missions multiple times, or leading teams to complete important missions multiple times, this badge will automatically advance to the Silver Badge "Business Backbone".】

【Hidden Trait (No Need to Wear): Due to your status as a Connection, you will more easily gain appreciation from superiors after earning merit, and your promotion speed will correspondingly increase.

However, at the same time, because of your Connection status, colleagues at the same level and lower positions may evaluate your abilities lower.】

"..."

Never mind, since promotions are faster and it's easier to get the Cleanup Bureau's resource support, so be it if the evaluation drops; as long as the benefits are in hand, that's what matters.

After closing the badge panel with complex feelings, Li Ang carefully tucked his ID card away, then said his goodbyes again:

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

"There is something~"

Having called out to Li Ang once more, the Red-haired Director mischievously curled her lips, then took a letter from the drawer, placed it on the desk, and pushed it over.

"Here, that Witch replied to you. As long as you finish reading this letter, the Broom Can Be Heavy will reactivate, and the mission to infiltrate the Ryan family can continue."

Just finishing reading this letter is enough?

Looking at the strange red envelope tightly bound by a wide ribbon on the desk, Li Ang didn't dare reach out to take it immediately, but hesitantly looked at the Red-haired Director.

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

"Hmm?"

Looking at Li Ang with some surprise, the Red-haired Director asked curiously:

"How do you know? Did you happen to meet another Witch, and did she send you a Howler?"

"..."

So it really is true?!

"No... I've never seen a Witch in my life..."

After picking up the envelope with extreme speechlessness, Li Ang tore it open while pretending, saying casually:

"I just read a book about wizards; the author wrote that when wizards get angry, they send letters to others that can shout and scream... Damn it!"

The opened envelope suddenly turned into a huge mouth, biting Li Ang's finger, while the ribbon used to tie the envelope, with small triangular teeth at the end, scratched wildly at the back of his hand like a cat's paw.

Although fierce in momentum, since the material was paper and thin ribbon, this "Howler" threw itself at and bit Li Ang's hand for a long time, but ultimately failed to leave a single scratch.

After a while, the letter seemed tired of scratching, stopped to rest for a moment, then the two corners of the envelope rose slightly, arching into shapes resembling cat ears, and opened its "mouth" to roar wildly at Li Ang.

"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 listening to the cat speech for a moment, 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 dirt 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 helplessly scratched the back of his head.

Even the cats in Harry Potter eat cat food, snack on dried fish, and use cat toilets; I thought since you were also a cat raised by a wizard, you should be about the same, who knew your intelligence is about the same as an average human...

Seeing Li Ang looking depressed after being meowed at, the Red-haired Director, who was the culprit, enjoyed the spectacle and continued to translate with a smile:

"She asks you, do you know how much harm doing this causes to a lady?"

"..."

I know, I know, it's probably equivalent to a big slap in the face, right?

After opening his mouth speechlessly, Li Ang, while listening to the clearly very angry meowing, curiously said to the Red-haired Director:

"Director, you actually understand cat speech?"

The Red-haired Director shook her head:

"No."

Hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Then is it telepathy or something?"

"No."

After giving Li Ang a wicked smile, the Red-haired Director answered:

"I guessed~"

"..."

You guessed... I think you're just bored because you have no wine to drink and started teasing people again? I really shouldn't have asked you...

After secretly glaring at her speechlessly, Li Ang silently finished listening to the "Meow Letter", then pushed the door open to leave the office, wanting to check the status of the Broom Can Be Heavy. However, as soon as he pulled open the office door, he bumped full-force into a thin, small man.

"Ah! Sorry!"

Although the man was not tall, his physique was surprisingly solid. After making Li Ang stumble, he quickly reached out to support him and said apologetically:

"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 just now."

Although it hurt a bit from the collision, seeing the short man's guilty expression, Li Ang smiled, waved his hand to indicate it was okay, then quickly left the Director's office.

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

"Director, why was there cat meowing in the room just now? It seemed to be talking about something like a basin toilet and a lady's humiliation. Do you keep a cat?"

"Forget it, I wouldn't dare keep a cat, especially with someone like you around."

After glancing at the short man, the red-haired director bent her knuckles and rapped them on the table, asking with a serious expression:

"How is the matter I asked you to handle? Have you found out who summoned the Holy Spirit from the Chengjin Sect?"

"Since you ordered me to act, of course I was able to find out."

Hearing this, the short man smiled confidently and said:

"I controlled three hundred thousand ants and checked the auras of everyone who visited the shopping plaza these past few days. Only a few dozen showed traces of contact with the Chengjin Sect.

Then I dispatched twenty thousand rats and three thousand crows to listen and spy around those few dozen people day and night, locked onto the most suspicious target, and then..."

"Enough, enough, I know you've worked hard."

Seeing the man before her implicitly seeking credit, the red-haired director couldn't help but rub her brow, then directly made a promise:

"This time counts as a great merit for you. The bureau will reimburse the food costs for those animals! Calculate it for a full month! And there will be a bonus too! Hurry up and tell me the result!"

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

After cheerfully offering thanks, the short man continued his report:

"The result is that the person who summoned the Holy Spirit is one of the three families that previously conspired to ruin Charles Department Store... Oh, and also, my rats dug through the secret room in the Rose Family mansion and overheard some news.

Those three families couldn't compete in legitimate business, and after summoning the Holy Spirit to cause trouble only to be cleaned up by our bureau, they devised a plan to kidnap the only daughter of the Charles Department Store owner, intending to force him to comply through direct military pressure!"

"Understood. These damn nobles are such a trouble!"

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

"And then? Did they summon anything else?"

"No."

The short man shook his head and said:

"It's hard to say for the future, but at least for these few days, I haven't seen them make any moves."

"Fine, then continue maintaining surveillance. During this period of monitoring them, the bureau will reimburse double the food costs for your 'friends'... Oh, right."

As she spoke these words, the red-haired director's eyes narrowed slightly, and she extended her hand toward the short man.

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