Chapter 183: Riding on a Cat

Chapter 183: Riding on a Cat

He Ying quickly aimed the telescope at the location Chen Mu had mentioned earlier. However, after looking for a long time, there was nothing to be found.

"There's not a single shadow."

"Even if it's surveillance, it's impossible to keep watch non-stop. They also need rest. Perhaps they've entered a house at this time."

"Alright."

"Let me have a look."

Chen Mu was about to return the telescope when he looked at several potential monitoring spots, but still couldn't spot anyone.

Clearly, he had no experience with counter-surveillance.

Afterward, driven by curiosity, he examined the outdoor environment.

The teaching building in the distance was quiet, and there was no sign of life in the lens. Instead, the grass and trees appeared lively.

Finally, Chen Mu lowered the telescope and looked towards the door.

And at that moment, he was startled to the core.

He saw Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai once again at the doorway, and Du Jiajia was engaged in a conversation with them.

If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, Chen Mu's eyes caught sight of Gu Yinglong's tiny figure, who had somehow also made his way to the door. He was taking small steps, slowly approaching the white cat, as if wanting to touch its paws.

These two cats were one of Qi Ming's hidden cards.

However, for anyone other than Du Jiajia, no one knew how they would react. Perhaps there wouldn't be hostility, but there was also a possibility of being swallowed whole.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

He Ying, Zhao Xiaoyan, and other cat-loving girls had suggested going out to interact with the cats, but they were all rejected by Dong Junwei. From the perspective of the team leader, such behavior was pointless and only increased the danger.

Especially because Du Jiajia's abilities were still difficult to assess, no one knew if she could handle the situation.

Yet, for some unknown reason, Gu Yinglong had unexpectedly followed Du Jiajia outside. Moreover, from the looks of it, he was completely unaware as his back was turned.

Chen Mu didn't dare to shout loudly, fearing it might startle the cats, which could have the opposite effect.

He could only tell He Ying about this and have her quickly go down to the door to remind Du Jiajia.

Gu Yinglong was already too close to Xiao Bai, making it impossible for him to snatch her back. He could only rely on Du Jiajia to figure out a solution.

Although Zhao Xiaoyan and the others were unhappy, they didn't dare to go against Dong Junwei and could only pout, looking enviously and regretfully at Gu Yinglong outside.

After waiting for about a minute, Du Jiajia was still worried. She brought Gu Yinglong back to the room, and Dong Junwei immediately pulled her to her side, checking her for any injuries and finally feeling relieved.

Dong Junwei had originally planned to scold her, but when she saw Gu Yinglong's innocent expression, she couldn't find it in herself to be angry. She only said, "From now on, you can't wander off to play with the cats without telling anyone, understand?"

Gu Yinglong nodded fearfully.

Du Jiajia hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, squad leader. It's my fault. Today, it was my turn to take care of Gu Yinglong, but after Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai came, I forgot about her. She never used to run around like this, so I didn't pay attention."

It wasn't really Du Jiajia's fault. Initially, Dong Junwei had arranged for each girl to take turns taking care of Gu Yinglong daily. After all, the room was so large that if she disappeared somewhere, they wouldn't be able to find her. But as Gu Yinglong became more familiar with the place, the need for such supervision diminished. However, they still maintained the habit, mainly for the experience of being an elder sister.

During previous times when it was Du Jiajia's turn to take care of Gu Yinglong, the little girl was usually busy with her own tasks or observing Chen Mu's work. But today, she happened to have some free time and ended up following Du Jiajia outside by chance.

Fortunately, nothing happened, which was fortunate for everyone.

Otherwise, they wouldn't know how to deal with those two cats, and Du Jiajia would have felt immensely guilty.

But now, they unexpectedly gained something positive.

At least, they learned that these two cats didn't show strong hostility towards anyone other than Du Jiajia.

Chen Mu instructed Lu Shanshan to continue her shift, and he slid down the slide himself, feeling relieved upon seeing Gu Yinglong back in the room.

"Now that it seems like Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai don't have any hostility towards us, perhaps we can consider taking the next step..."

"What?" Du Jiajia curiously asked.

Chen Mu pondered for a moment and then smiled, "Du Jiajia, how about riding your cat for a little stroll outside?"
