"Wait, come back!"

Seeing the dog howling and rushing out, Bai Li didn’t hesitate and tried to call him back.

But the runaway dog couldn’t be stopped at all.

Bai Li stared dumbfounded as the dog ran off so fast it left only an afterimage—didn’t even leave his backside for him.

Outside was the road.

Bai Li hurriedly chased out, chasing while angrily thinking about hitting the dog.

Silly dog, just a few days ago he was telling him that someone was following them every day, and now his head’s heating up and he forgets everything.

No wonder every time they met before, something happened.

"Howl."

The dog twitched his nose, precisely locking onto the information he needed to find.

The scent left on the roses and the little card was all clearly picked up by the dog’s nose.

He could sense something bad.

The person sending the flowers had bad intentions toward Li Li.

Bai Li chased out two blocks before finally seeing the familiar dog butt.

"Lang He!"

He ran over quickly and grabbed the dog who had stopped to figure out the direction.

"No running away."

The dog howled, explaining his purpose.

"My nose is very sharp," the dog proudly said, wagging his tail. "Li Li, let’s catch the bad guy. The one sending you flowers is a human—I can beat him."

Bai Li patted the dog’s head: "No going."

Right now, for the silly dog, staying obediently in the cat café or at home was the safest.

"Come back with me."

Bai Li pulled the dog, leading him back to the cat café.The dog saw that Bai Li wouldn’t let him chase and hung his tail down a bit dejectedly.

Sigh.

He really wanted to do something for Li Li.

Before they returned to the cat café, in a sparsely populated industrial street, they encountered a group of people.

“Hello.”

They all wore black T-shirts, were strong-bodied, and looked fierce.

The man in charge had triangular eyes, staring at Bai Li... and the dog he was holding.

“This dog is mine.”

The man pointed at the dog, forcing a smile: “Little kid, give the dog back to uncle.”

The dog was trembling with fear.

He hid behind Bai Li, howling softly.

“Li Li, they’re bad people.”

These were the same bad guys who had just broken his leg a while ago—also bad monsters from the mountain area.

Bai Li became even more cautious and hid the dog behind him.

“This is my dog.”

Bai Li refused to yield: “Move aside, don’t block my way.”

The man smiled coldly, clearly threatening: “If you don’t give me the dog back, I’m afraid you won’t leave today.”

Bai Li: “...”

Bai Li tightened his face, looked at these fierce strong men, then at himself and the dog.

Next moment,

He grabbed the dog, changed direction, and started running.

“Faster, faster, let’s run toward a crowded place.”

Running to a street with more people passing by, Bai Li blocked the big dog and let him transform into human form.

The little kid in overalls sat down with a thud.

The strong men who followed a few steps tried to grab the little kid without changing expression.

“Help! Someone’s trying to kidnap a child!”

The cat who had been living in the human world for some time still knew some knowledge.

For example, those who snatch children are human traffickers, human traffickers are criminals, and police will catch them.Bai Li shouted for help loudly, indeed attracting the attention of passersby.

But the men reacted quickly too; when the passersby looked over, he put on a helpless expression.

“Everyone, this is my son. He’s addicted to mobile games. I took his phone away, so he’s running away from home.”

Once the man said this, some people actually believed him.

“These days, games are harmful! Just a few days ago, I saw news about a child who even tried to commit suicide because of games.”

Adults mostly detested games deeply.

The man talked about his son’s rebellious behavior over games, gaining sympathy from the passersby.

Seeing that no one helped, Bai Li got anxious: “He’s lying, we don’t even know him.”

The man looked at Bai Li with hostility toward this troublesome boy.

“Stop making trouble. You two, come with me.”

The man forcibly claimed Bai Li as his son too.

Bai Li was furious: “I am NOT your son! You look so ugly; how could you have a son as handsome as me?”

He grabbed the dog’s hand, and from the corner of his eye suddenly spotted a poster not far away.

On the poster was Xie Chen in a suit.

Bai Li’s eyes lit up and pointed at Xie Chen on the poster: “That, that’s my fiancé!”

“Fiancé?”

Some passersby looked at Xie Chen, then at Bai Li, and suddenly gasped.

“I’ve seen your photo. You and Xie Chen—you two have been trending online.”

Bai Li didn’t know much about trending topics.

He just begged, “Can you help me stop these bad guys? I can call Xie Chen now to come get me.”

Bai Li didn’t say “sir,” fearing the passersby wouldn’t understand.

“Sure, make the call, see if Xie Chen will come.”

Xie Chen’s fame was high; mentioning his name made many on the street want to protect Bai Li.

The men in black T-shirts saw the situation turning bad, took a few steps forward to try to stop Bai Li from calling.

Earlier Bai Li was tangled up and had no chance to call, but now with more people around, he could catch his breath.

The phone rang twice, and Xie Chen’s voice came to his ear.

“Li Li, what’s wrong?”“Sir.”

Xie Chen heard the familiar voice and immediately felt wronged: “There are bad people grabbing me and the dog.”

Xie Chen’s voice tightened: “Be good, wait for me to come over.”

When Bai Li made the call, he deliberately put it on speaker, so the passersby could also hear Xie Chen’s voice.

“That really is Xie Chen. I’ve heard his songs and seen his interviews.”

Some longtime fans of Xie Chen nearby heard and confirmed it.

Since Xie Chen said he was coming, the passersby naturally wouldn’t let Bai Li and that little brat be taken away.

The men in black T-shirts noticed this, and some people seemed to be calling the police...

“Let’s go.”

The man’s eyes turned cold, his gaze on Bai Li full of anger.

If it weren’t for this boy causing trouble, they could have succeeded today.

A group of tall, burly men—naturally, they couldn’t stop them from leaving.

Xie Chen arrived quickly, causing a stir as he got out of the car.

“Wow, it’s the real Xie Chen!”

“Can we get an autograph?!”

“I don’t dare to ask.”

Amid the crowd’s chatter, Xie Chen stepped off the car and quickly approached the surrounded Bai Li.

Bai Li let go of the dog’s hand and threw himself into Xie Chen’s arms.

Xie Chen bent down and gently kissed his head to comfort him: “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Bai Li and the dog’s transformed little brat were both taken away by Xie Chen.

As their car drove off, the men who had “left” exchanged glances and followed after them.

Those men were fast.

If Bai Li hadn’t grabbed the dog and rushed into the crowd in time, they definitely wouldn’t have escaped.

“Sorry.”

In the car, the impulsive little brat apologized gloomily: “I just wanted to find the person sending you flowers.”

“Sending flowers?”

“Yeah.”

The little brat fiddled with his clothes, not daring to look at Xie Chen or Bai Li: “The one sending flowers to Li Li isn’t a good person. I can find him.”Xie Chen’s eyes flickered upon hearing this. But in front of Bai Li, he didn’t say anything.

Night fell.

Bai Li was coaxed to sleep by Xie Chen. Wearing pajamas, Xie Chen got up and went downstairs.

“Lang He.”

He came to the dog, poked the drooling dog who was sleeping.

“Aw.”

The dog looked up blankly, confusedly staring at Xie Chen.

“Transform into human.”

Xie Chen didn’t understand what he was howling about, so he simply let him transform.

The dog, dependent on others, obediently transformed into a little brat wearing overalls.

“Mr. Xie.”

Xie Chen lowered his gaze and asked directly, “Can you find the person sending flowers to Li Li?”

“Yes.”

Lang He nodded, “Our clan is very good at finding things or people.”

Xie Chen turned around: “Come with me now.”

Lang He perked up: “Are we going to find the person sending flowers?”

“Mm.”

Encouraged by Xie Chen’s affirmation, Lang He happily got up from the ground.

He patted his butt and cheerfully followed Xie Chen.

Because he smelled Xie Chen’s aura, Lang He followed him decisively.

In his opinion, such a powerful unknown species would definitely protect him!

On the way,

Xie Chen suddenly asked him another question: “Lang He, if it’s someone missing for a long time, can you still find them?”

“Do you have an item belonging to that person?”

“Yes.”

“If you can mark the other’s scent, no matter where they are, you can find them.”

Lang He said, blushing a little: “But for someone missing for a very long time, I can’t find them. Only my grandfather can.”He… he was still just a kid.

“Your grandfather? Where is he?”

“In the mountains. Grandpa is seriously ill, I still have to go back to see him.”

If it weren’t for being chased by bad demons, he would’ve gone back long ago.

“I’ll find a doctor for your grandfather. When the time comes, we’ll go together.”

“Huh?”

Lang He was stunned: “You want to go back with me?”

“Yes,” Xie Chen said calmly. “There’s something I want to ask your grandfather for help with.”

“Alright then.”

Lang He scratched his head and didn’t refuse his request.

As the saying goes, “Don’t take from others without giving back.” Lang He had been eating, drinking, and enjoying protection under Xie Chen’s care—he couldn’t give nothing in return.

They were still accompanied by bodyguards.

Lang He, like a meat bun, constantly attracted certain “dogs” to chase him.

For example, even though it was still the middle of the night, Lang He had already said as soon as they got in the car—

“Mr. Xie, I’m being followed again!”

The silly dog, who felt like he had strong backing, cheerfully reported to Xie Chen.

Xie Chen glanced at him, then looked through the rearview mirror behind, but didn’t notice anything unusual.

Lang He didn’t take it seriously either and continued chatting with Xie Chen.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Suddenly, the moving car swerved and came to a halt.

“Sir.”

One of the bodyguards driving spoke up: “Seems like there’s an issue with the tire, I’ll get out and check.”

Even as he said that, both the bodyguard and Xie Chen grew alert.

Xie Chen’s car was always checked in advance before any trip. It was basically impossible for something to go wrong during the drive.

The bodyguard got out.

A few minutes later, a muffled grunt sounded from outside the car.

“They’re here.”

Lang He shivered and instinctively leaned closer to Xie Chen.The bodyguards were all professionally trained and didn’t fear situations like this.

They grabbed their gear and got out of the car together.

“It’s useless.”

Lang He shook his head. “Humans can’t beat demons.”

As he spoke, his eyes looked to Xie Chen with anticipation. “Mr. Xie, it’s your turn to make a move now!”

Xie Chen: “?”

Make a move?

Lang He pointed out the car window, excited. “Hurry, go!”

He only knew that Mr. Xie wasn’t human but hadn’t yet sniffed out exactly what Mr. Xie was.

Perfect—now was the chance.

The hyped-up dog was still urging Mr. Xie to go, go, go! But after a while, the super-powerful-in-his-eyes Mr. Xie instead asked calmly, “Did you just say I’m not human?”

Dog: “!”

The dog was dumbfounded. “What the heck, you seriously don’t know you’re not human?”

Xie Chen: “Since when was I not human?”

The two stared at each other. The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.

Outside the car window, black mist was rising.

The bodyguards who had gotten out seemed to have all fallen unconscious. The night was still, and in this area, not even a passing car could be seen.

The situation here was urgent.

Inside the villa—

The snow-white kitten, huddled in the blanket, suddenly scurried out.

“Meow!”

Sir.

The kitten, who had a nightmare, rubbed its eyes with its little paws and called out to Sir for comfort.

Only a nightlight was left on in the room.

Bai Li sat on the bed. Because he had woken up in fright, his chubby little body still swayed a bit.

“Meow?”

The little kitten’s beautiful amber eyes were filled with confusion.Where did his sir go?
