Lin Sifei swallowed, all the while warning herself to be calm and forcing her fur to lie flat. 

  

She squatted on the ground as she thought at first, hiding the chocolate between her front and back paws, her fur on those limbs just blocking the chocolate from view. 

  

Lin Sifei glanced around, trying to find the person who threw the chocolate.

  

Whoever did this was vicious enough, since cats will die if they eat a lot of chocolate. This person deliberately wrapped it in shredded squid, so it was intentional, for they feared that she would not eat the chocolate if it was directly fed to her.

 

Soon a few more pieces of squid rolled over, but the directions were different. It seemed that the other party had been moving to prevent detection.  Since Lin Sifei was surrounded by many people, most of the squid chocolate pieces would probably be kicked away, and this feeder knew that.

  

Lin Sifei squinted her eyes for a while, but after concluding that it would be difficult for her to find the culprit, she sat on the ground and waited for Luo Ke to come.

  

Luo Ke had just finished the prize draw, and at the request of the host, said a few words of encouragement to everyone. When she finished, she walked down the stage. 

  

“Meow~” Lin Sifei raised her head and yowled at her.

 

Luo Ke bent over and reached out to pick her up, but Lin Sifei curled her neck and leaned back.

  

Luo Ke raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her, perplexed. Lin Sifei meowed again.

  

Luo Ke watched Lin Sifei refuse to move, so she knelt on the ground and reached out to her, “What’s the matter?”

  

Lin Sifei raised a paw and pressed it on the back of Luo Ke’s hand, and then pressed her hand to the place where she was sitting.

  

Luo Ke followed her and touched a warm and soft round object with her fingers. She was silent for a moment, staring at Lin Sifei’s eyes. Lin Sifei looked at her, eyes deep with some type of emotion, and nodded at her slightly.

  

“Did you poop?”

  

Lin Sifei: ? ? ? ! ! !

  

With a furious “meow” she patted Luo Ke’s face with a paw. You just pooped! You just pooped in public! Your brain is full of poop!

 

Lin Sifei’s paws swayed out in and out of sight so quickly, Luo Ke quickly conceded and drew back to avoid the flashing paws, “I was wrong, I was wrong.”

  

Lin Sifei gave a cold snort and twisted her head away from her terrible owner.

  

Luo Ke grabbed the piece and breathed a sigh of relief, “Actually, I was a little worried, but luckily it’s not.”

 

Lin Sifei glared at her, raising her paw again. 

 

Luo Ke couldn’t help but laugh as she teased Lin Sifei. She picked up the cat in one hand, but felt something sticky on her hands.  

""

  

This was……

  

She was stunned momentarily. Although Lin Sifei’s body temperature had melted the chocolate, she could still tell that the chocolate was wrapped with the shredded squid, and the smell of chocolate was especially obvious in the air.

 

She quickly put the cat on the table, pinching Lin Sifei’s cat mouth, “You didn’t eat it, did you!”

  

When Lin Sifei saw Luo Ke’s anxious energy, an idea came to her mind. She lifted her paws and grabbed Luo Ke’s hands that squeezed her face. It seemed like normal cat behavior, but in fact, her paws quickly rubbed the corners of her own cat mouth, leaving some chocolate residue.  

 

“Don’t worry, let me see.” Luo Ke frowned.

  

Lin Sifei rubbed her paw a few times to make sure that there was no problem, and then she pretended to give up resisting and raised her chin.

  

When Luo Ke looked at the brown stain under her mouth, her pupils shrank. She picked up the cat and called the veterinary hospital as she walked.

 

“Hello, Dr. Li? My cat may have eaten chocolate by mistake.”

  

“Chocolate! How much did it eat?!”

  

Luo Ke looked at her sticky hands, but when she opened her mouth, “I, I don’t know.”

  

“How can you be so careless? How long has it been since it ate it? In any case, hurry to the hospital.”

 

“I don’t know how long it’s been since she has eaten it, but within half an hour. No sign of any response.”

 

“Symptoms usually take three hours. Come to the hospital.”

  

As Luo Ke held her phone, she changed her pace from walking to running. Special Assistant Lin had just won a prize andwas happy, but upon seeing his boss in a panicked state, quickly came over, wanting to help solve the problem. 

  

""

“Chair Luo, what happened?” 

 

“Someone fed Xiaoxiao chocolate.”

  

Special Assistant Lin froze for a second, and then promptly put away the smile on his face. 

 

“Then Chair Luo should go to the hospital first, and I will check the surveillance cameras.”

  

Luo Ke nodded, wiped the completely melted chocolate in her hand with a paper towel and handed it to him, “There must be more near Xiaoxiao, go look for it.”

  

“Okay.”

 

Lin Sifei’s brain hadn’t recovered yet when she realized that Luo Ke had already rushed into the underground garage, holding her. Then, as they started driving, she saw Luo Ke’s hands, holding the steering wheel, trembling slightly, her finger joints a little white.   

 

Lin Sifei couldn’t bear it anymore. She regretted lying to Luo Ke, resulting in her flustered state, so she meowed, “Meow~”

  

She meowed, clapped her paws together, and rolled around lively, trying to signal that she was okay.

  

“Don’t move.” Luo Ke stretched out one hand to hold her,  her other hand holding the steering wheel.

  

Fortunately, the location of the veterinary hospital was not far away. The two traffic lights at the intersections on the way were all green; they were there in no time. 

   

Dr. Li was waiting at the door, and upon seeing them, beckoning hurriedly, “This way.”

  

Luo Ke ran over and handed him the cat. Dr. Li immediately opened her mouth to check her teeth and so on.

  

“Huh?” He frowned, “Let’s check it out in detail.”

 

The two quickly reached a consensus, and Lin Sifei was subjected to various checks, much to her dismay. 

""

 

After the examination, Dr. Li pushed his glasses up his nose, “It seems that it didn’t eat chocolate.”

  

“But her mouth…”

  

“Maybe it got on its fur, but didn’t eat it.”

 

Luo Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Let’s just stay here to observe just in case.”

  

Doctor Li nodded, “Just in case, I asked the nurse to prepare everything for the gastric lavage.”

  

What, gastric lavage? ? ? Lin Sifei was even more frightened, and worked hard to roll around and jump around for the next three hours to prove that she was healthy.

  

Luo Ke took a wet towel to wipe off the chocolate on her fur, and frowned, a little annoyed, “When we go back I need to give you a bath, you’re all dirty.”

""

 

Lin Sifei groaned, but then remembered that she had given Luo Ke quite the fright, so she obediently laid down on Luo Ke’s lap. 

  

After making sure that Lin Sifei was okay, Luo Ke took her back. 

  

The restaurant was about to close, and some employees had already gone home. But Luo Ke wasn’t worried, since the culprit most likely hadn’t left because they had a guilty conscience.

  

Only when she entered, Special Assistant Lin greeted her, “Chair Luo, the surveillance footage has been found, and Zhao Min is watching, but it seems like…”

 

Luo Ke raised her hand to interrupt him, “Let’s go over there and then talk.”

  

In the monitoring room, Zhao Min was there, but the restaurant manager was also there. After all, since their high profile guests suddenly wanted to look at surveillance, they were worried when something happened.

  

“Good evening, Chair Luo.”

  

Luo Ke nodded towards the restaurant manager, “Don’t be nervous, the cat is okay. I’ll just watch the surveillance just to find out who did it.”

 

“Oh, okay.” The manager sweated nervously from the tip of his nose.

  

Luo Ke walked to the screen and asked Zhao Min, “Did you find anyone?”

  

“There was the lottery draw at the time, and it was too crowded. The surveillance was all taken from above, and so didn’t capture who threw it.”

  

“Let me see it again.”

 

The security guard immediately clicked on the video again, and the progress bar played a little bit, until when Special Assistant Lin nearly fell on stage. The cat’s head on the screen suddenly moved, and then it quickly pounced on something.

  

“Play this part again.”

  

This time she was not looking at the cat, but at the people around her. After the first piece of chocolate fell on the ground, who moved…

  

“This person.” She pointed to a woman in a white dress on the screen, “Can you clearly see who it is?”

 

“You can look at the surveillance of the door when you enter the venue and then find them according to their clothes.” The manager immediately said, patting the security guard’s shoulder.

  

Soon, they found this person. Yan Yafei.

  

The surveillance at the door clearly demonstrated the clothes on her, exactly the same dress.

  

Luo Ke tapped the table, as if knocking on the hearts of the people present, causing  everyone to be afraid to speak.

 

“She’s really a kind girl.” Luo Ke pressed her temples and reached out to pick up Lin Sifei.

""

  

She looked at the restaurant manager, “Can I take the video?”

  

“This…I’m sorry, this also involves privacy issues, I…”

  

Luo Ke nodded, she also understood this, but just asked casually. She wanted to deal with Yan Yafei, but definitely could do so without this video. 

  

She turned her head and walked out, while Special Assistant Lin and Zhao Min hurriedly followed.

  

“Zhao Min, go find Yan Yafei and tell her to come to my office at ten tomorrow morning.”

  

“Go now?”

  

“Now.” Luo Ke walked into the venue and saw Yan Yafei sitting on the deck and laughing with a group of girls.

 

She squinted, “Do it in front of everyone.”

  

“Yes, Chair Luo.”

  

Special Assistant Lin watched her walk over, “Chair Luo, why don’t you deal with it now?”

 

“Did you see it?”

  

Special Assistant Lin showed a puzzled expression, what?

  

Luo Ke stroked her cat tenderly, “Yan Yafei has a guilty conscience, from what I could tell of her reaction. If I fire her now, I can only fire her, which is actually meaningless. The time before the verdict is the most painful.”

You all are great guessers and guessed the correct culprit (it was slightly obvious though haha). See Yan Yafei fired in the next chapter! Thanks for reading as well :3
