As Wen Qingling was about to get off the car, he suddenly saw a person. He was walking towards Yu Jinhui with a group of people, smiling.
“Brother Hui, why did you come in person? Knowing that you wanted a mutant ragdoll cat, I heard that there was one appearing here. I rushed over right away, just waiting to buy it and give it to Brother Hui”, said Xiao Jiang.
“It’s Xiao Jiang. I really liked the gift you gave me last time,” replied Yu Jinhui. Yu Jinhui had a good appearance, and it was not difficult to imagine that his sister’s appearance should also be good, otherwise, she wouldn’t have entered the Nie family’s door.
Jiang Xin is tall and burly, with a big smile on his face. “As long as Brother Hui likes it, it’s good. I might have to take this mutant Ragdoll cat with me first. A pet, a pet, what’s the point if it doesn’t obey? These mutant beasts are very fierce. Brother Hui, look at the people I brought. It’s because I’m afraid I can’t control this thing, so I intentionally brought more people. Brother Hui, rest assured, once I have trained it for you, I will return it as it is. How does Brother Hui feel?’
Yu Jinhui looked slightly surprised. “You can train pets?”
Jiang Xin laughed, “Of course not. It’s my girlfriend, Bei Ya. She has the ability to communicate with animals.”
Jiang Xin lightly patted Bei Ya’s back, and she immediately stepped forward, sweetly calling out, “Brother Hui”.
“Brother Hui’s pet, I will definitely do my best and try to return it to Brother Hui ge as soon as possible,” said Bei Ya.
Yu Jinhui’s gaze swept over Bei Ya. He had seen all kinds of beauties, and Bei Ya’s appearance could only be considered above average among his beauties, and her figure was ordinary, which didn’t match his preferences.
Jiang Xin lowered his voice and said, “Thanks to Bei Ya, we were able to find such a special ability for the last gift. Only then could we offer it to you. This time, we will definitely train your pet well.”
Yu Jinhui looked at Bei Ya differently. He really liked the previous gift, and he also had a slightly higher opinion of Bei Ya because of it. He chuckled, “Alright, then take the Ragdoll cat back and train it quickly. My nephew is still waiting to receive it.”
Everyone knew who Yu Jinhui’s nephew was. Although they had no blood relation, their relationship as uncle and nephew was good. Yu Jinhui knew how to please his brother-in-law and share his concerns.
Bei Ya quickly said, “Thank you for your trust, Brother Hui. I will do my best.”
Jiang Xin asked someone to negotiate the price with the seller while he personally accompanied Yu Jinhui, trying to please and flatter him.
“Brother Hui, can we get a little more of the energy gun in your hands for our team?’ Jiang Xin asked. Since the successful development of energy weapons, the higher-ups have been interested in expanding outside the city. No matter how big the Central Mega City is, it is still smaller than the vast outside world. Many organizations with strength and foresight are also taking action. They can’t reap benefits from the big cities, but they can try their luck in small towns. They mobilize on a large scale, clean up zombies, and claim the towns as their territory.
At such a time, anyone who doesn’t strive forward is an idiot. No one wants to be forever subordinate to others. Being the lord of a city isn’t attractive? With strength, manpower, and territory, who would be willing to be someone’s grandson?
The most sought-after thing now is energy weapons. Yu Jinhui, as an in-law of the Nie family, can’t get standardized energy weapons; he can only get parts and assemble them, which are of inferior quality and doesn’t sell for a high price.
Old Master Nie is still alive. Yu Jinhui can make Nie Tianling and Nie Hao obedient, but he can’t fool Old Master Nie. The Nie family still follows Old Master Nie’s orders. The energy weapons are all in Old Master Nie’s hands, and Yu Jinhui can’t get a single one.
Yu Jinhui often curses and resents Nie Zeyong, that old thing. When will he die? Once he dies and the Nie family falls into Nie Tianling’s hands, what benefits can he not obtain?
For the sake of face, even if empty-handed, he still has to maintain his presence.
Yu Jinhui sighed and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to give more, but there are too many people in need. Shouldn’t I treat everyone equally?”
Jiang Xin forced a smile and nodded repeatedly.
There were many onlookers, but there were only a few people who actually wanted to buy the mutant ragdoll cat. The reason was simple: the mutant creatures were too fierce, and they wouldn’t be able to tame them. Buying one would only bring harm to themselves. Now that Yu Jinhui wanted to buy one, no one was competing with him, and the negotiation went smoothly.
Jiang Xin’s men surrounded the cage and prepared to lift it onto the car to take it back. The mutant ragdoll cat, who had been lazily sleeping, suddenly became alert. Its blue eyes opened, and it raised its head to look around.
Yu Jinhui chuckled, “This little thing is quite vigilant. If trained well, it can be a good battle pet.”
The mutant ragdoll cat stepped on the cushion and slowly stood up. The metal cage became unbalanced, and the people lifting it stumbled and almost lost their balance. Bei Ya immediately shouted, “Get down! Don’t move!”
The mutant ragdoll cat glanced at her with disdain in its blue eyes. How dare this fish-lipped human command the great king? Does she want to die?
Beiyā took out a metal whip and cracked it against the metal cage, saying, “Get down!”
The angered mutant ragdoll cat swung its paw, and the person lifting the cage screamed in pain and dropped the cage.
With a loud crash, the metal cage fell to the ground, bringing down two people. One person hit the cage from behind, while the other fell face-first. Instinctively, he reached out to grab the cage but let out two more screams. All the people near the cage were covered in blood.
Bei Ya was also frightened and stepped back continuously. The mutant ragdoll cat kept staring at her with its blue eyes, as if it would pounce on her and tear her face apart at any moment.
Yu Jinhui frowned slightly, looking displeased. Jiang Xin hurriedly signaled Bei Ya to take control of the situation. Bei Ya clenched her whip but didn’t dare to approach. She could only try to communicate with the mutant ragdoll cat using her psychic powers, but the cat refused to communicate with her and anxiously paced around the cage.
Suddenly, the mutant ragdoll cat skillfully moved closer to the corner of the cage. Its massive body almost squeezed out of the cage. Just when everyone was puzzled, suddenly, “bang bang,” and the iron chains and large lock on the metal cage fell to the ground.
Everyone’s face changed drastically, and they quickly dodged. The mutant ragdoll cat had already rushed out of the metal cage, leaped over the heads of the crowd, and landed steadily on Yu Jinhui’s car roof.
“Meow~~~” The mutant ragdoll cat let out a cry.
Everyone immediately turned around and witnessed an astonishing scene. The enormous mutant ragdoll cat was meowing and trying to playfully roll over on the car roof but ended up falling off.
Undeterred, the mutant ragdoll cat stood up straight, its front paws grasping the car roof. Its large head extended to rub against the person standing on the roof.
The person was wearing casual clothes, with a low-brimmed cap and a black mask that almost covered his entire face. There was also a man in camouflage standing beside him, wearing the same cap and mask, holding a brand new sniper rifle in his hands.
Wen Qingling touched the mutant ragdoll cat’s head, demonstrating that the creature had high intelligence. Wen Qingling could easily communicate with it.
In the branch of psychic abilities known as communication arts, one can communicate with animals and plants through psychic powers. The higher the intelligence of the target, the easier the communication. Bei Ya couldn’t communicate smoothly with the large cat, which indicated her own limited abilities.
Wen Qingling pointed at him provocatively and said, “You must be Yu Jinhui, also known as ‘Brother Hui,’ right?”
Jiang Xin and Bei Ya were both startled. The voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Several sturdy men immediately aimed their rifles at the two people on the car roof, assuming a protective stance around Yu Jinhui.
Yu Jinhui’s face turned extremely ugly. Since his sister married into the Nie family, it had been a long time since anyone dared to speak to him like this.
His eyes flashed with a cold light. “I am Yu Jinhui. Who are you?”
Wen Qingling’s gaze fell on the gun device in the strong man’s hand, and he felt a sense of familiarity. Wasn’t that the energy gun device that Luo Fengjue assembled in the basement? They were both energy storage devices. “It’s enough that you’re Yu Jinhui. I’ve been looking for you!” Wen Qingling suddenly made a move, grabbing Yu Jinhui from the crowd with a single grasp, and he flew towards Wen Qingling like a disconnected balloon.
The energy storage device fired rapidly. Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen had already disappeared from the car roof, and the mutant ragdoll cat agilely jumped aside. It dashed forward a few steps, turned around, and pounced, landing among the crowd, its sharp claws tearing through a mist of blood.
Wen Qingling grabbed Yu Jinhui, who flew towards him, and dragged him into the car. Xiao Hen started the car and sped away.
The mutant ragdoll cat vented its frustration and turned to run.
If it weren’t for these fish-lipped humans launching a surprise attack, it wouldn’t have been captured in the first place. Now that it was finally free, there was no better time to escape.
The mutant ragdoll cat and Wen Qingling ran in the opposite direction. Yu Jinhui’s subordinates didn’t have time to deal with the cat and hurriedly got in their cars to chase after the car carrying their boss.
Don’t be deceived by Yu Jinhui’s seemingly boundless influence. In reality, he was just an ordinary person without any supernatural abilities. Being caught by Wen Qingling, he had almost no ability to resist.
Wen Qingling’s hand grew thorny vines that wrapped around Yu Jinhui’s body like serpents. The vines tightened, and the sharp thorns pierced into flesh and skin. Yu Jinhui cried out in pain. He had never experienced such suffering in his entire life.
He gritted his teeth. “Who are you? What do you want?!”
Wen Qingling sneered as he saw Yu Jinhui drenched in cold sweat. “If you can’t endure this little bit of pain, do you think you’ll still have your life when I cut off your hand?”
Yu Jinhui thought he had misheard and tried to persuade, “Since you already know that I am Yu Jinhui, you should probably know who stands behind me. If you release me now, I won’t pursue this further. Otherwise, if anything happens to me, the Nie family won’t let you go.”
Wen Qingling played with the dagger at his fingertips. “When you cut off someone else’s hand, have you ever considered that one day your hand might also be cut off?”
Yu Jinhui widened his eyes in disbelief. “You… you are…”
“I am a friend of Mi Yan. Luo Fengjue is my brother, and they are both in your hands, right?” The dagger in Wen Qingling’s fingertips spun even faster, and Wen Qingling looked into Yu Jinhui’s eyes as if contemplating where to make his cut.
Yu Jinhui broke into a cold sweat. Regardless of who these two people were, he was now in their hands without any protection, hanging by a thread…
The car suddenly shook violently, and Yu Jinhui slammed against the car door. However, Wen Qingling remained seated steadily. A large fireball flew past the car, hitting a trash bin on the roadside, instantly setting it ablaze. The car behind continued to throw fireballs using the energy gun device, and Xiao Hen controlled the direction to dodge them.
