Bai Liu pinned the woman down. In the chaos, Bai Li took the chance to scratch quite a bit.

While scratching, he also meowed and cried; to an uninformed observer, it might look like he was being bullied.

Xie Chen’s injured arm—his right hand—was hurting so badly he could barely lift it.

After scratching, Bai Li fell to the ground. He no longer cared about the crazy woman but used his paws to claw at Xie Chen’s pant leg, his meows dragging with a sob.

“Mr., Mr., it hurts.”

Xie Chen didn’t dare to pick him up, afraid Bai Li would get the corrosive liquid on him too.

“Let’s go.”

Bai Liu decided immediately: “Go to the hospital.”

The corrosive skin wounds looked terrible; waiting here was definitely not an option.

Bai Liu held down the crazy woman. Xie Chen’s arm was injured, so no one could hold Bai Li.

“Li Li, follow us.”

Due to the situation, Bai Liu could only have his younger brother follow behind them.

However, after only a few steps, a voice called out from behind them.

“Stop.”

Bai Lin stepped out a few paces, and when he saw the scene before him, he nearly couldn’t believe his eyes.

After coming down the mountain for so long, searching all over for the lost treasure in the mountains, he had never encountered other younger brothers.

And now—

He had suddenly encountered two?!

At the back, Bai Li’s tears were still dripping, but he held his breath, not wanting to meow and distract Mr. Xie at such a moment.

But the sudden familiar voice made him stop walking.

He turned around, and in his teary eyes reflected the figure of his older brother.

“Meow!!!”

Bai Li leapt forward and immediately jumped onto his older brother’s chest.

“Good boy, don’t cry anymore.”Bai Lin’s big hand steadily supported the youngest younger brother, his gaze then falling on the sixth brother in front and on Xie Chen, who had injured his arm.

“Xiao Liu, let someone in.”

Bai Lin said, “There’s a first aid kit in my room. Let’s treat him first.”

Very quickly.

Xie Chen entered the room and Bai Lin skillfully treated the wound on his arm.

Bai Li looked at Xie Chen’s arm, tears welling up in his beautiful amber eyes.

“Li Li, don’t look.”

Xie Chen tried to cover his eyes with his other hand.

Bai Li turned his head away, not letting him cover it.

Just now he had seen that if Xie Chen hadn’t shielded him, his arm wouldn’t have been splashed.

“If it hurts, you can say so.”

Bai Lin said sternly as he tore open Xie Chen’s sleeve and cleaned the liquid off his arm.

Xie Chen didn’t say it hurt, although his arm really did hurt badly, but the little kitten’s teary eyes looking at him made him forget about the pain.

“Be good.”

Xie Chen didn’t want to scare the little kitten, still trying to distract him.

But it was useless.

Until they went to the hospital, Bai Li was still watching Xie Chen’s arm.

That crazy woman was Huang Fang, who had just been fired from Xie Chen’s company. She lost her job, was blacklisted, and even faced a lawsuit to compensate Xie Chen...

The financial pressure made her life a complete mess.

Driven by various factors, Huang Fang lost her mind and went crazy, thinking she definitely couldn’t get past her current predicament.

Since she couldn’t get past it, she wouldn’t let others have it easy!

Bai Liu reported to the police and cooperated with them by going to the public security bureau.

Bai Li was held in his older brother’s arms as they followed Xie Chen to the hospital.

“Li Li.”

Xie Chen was treated by professional doctors, while Bai Lin held his younger brother outside waiting, saying, “Be good, the doctor will take care of him.”

After a long time apart, Bai Lin hadn’t had a chance to properly look at his youngest sibling.

He was the oldest in age and the most mature and steady among the siblings.

To search for the lost treasure in Monster Mountain, Bai Lin was the first to descend the mountain and was also separated from his younger brothers and sisters early on.But for the youngest, Li Li, Bai Lin, as the older brother, didn’t say it out loud, but in his heart, he cared deeply.

Especially since his younger brother was sickly and had been taking medicine since he was little. The bitter herbal decoctions made him frown just by smelling them.

Every time Li Li drank them, his eyes were watery with tears, and by the next meal, he still had to continue drinking.

Thinking of that, Bai Lin’s eyes filled with even more pity for his brother.

Li Li was coaxed patiently by his older brother for a long while before finally stopping his tears.

Bai Lin rubbed his head and asked him about going down the mountain.

Li Li, distracted, began answering one by one as his older brother asked.

“Went down the mountain to work.”

“Picked up lots of cats and brought them back.”

“Found Third Brother and also Sixth Brother.”

Li Li counted on his paws, repeating the necessary step of reporting his trip—

Reporting his itinerary.

During the report, Li Li also gave a special introduction to Mr. Xian.

“Mr. Xian is so good. When I got knocked away, it was Mr. Xian who came over to back me up.”

“He brought me home and gave me fried fish jerky...” Li Li sniffled as he spoke, then looked toward the hospital room.

After hearing this, Bai Lin naturally missed a lot of details.

But it didn’t matter; he could ask Xiao Liu later.

“Big Brother.”

Li Li looked up and stared at his big brother, interrogating: “Why are you a scumbag?”

He had also heard Yu Yin’s love story. The yacht designer who cheated on Yu Yin—he never expected it to be his own eldest brother.

Bai Lin: “?”

Bai Lin was stunned for a few seconds, completely clueless how his younger brother had labeled him with that title.

“What scumbag?” Bai Lin frowned. “Who taught you that word?”

Li Li’s wet eyes showed some confusion: “Sixth Brother said it.”

The little tattletale didn’t realize he was complaining; he just honestly said, “Sixth Brother said scumbags should be cremated. Big Brother, I don’t want you to be cremated.”

He wanted his big brother to stay whole and safe.

Bai Lin pressed his temple: “What kind of nonsense is Xiao Liu getting into now?”Only after Bai Li’s reminder did Bai Lin realize that he had originally arranged to meet Yu Yin today, but instead two younger brothers had come.

Xiao Liu still hadn’t returned, so he couldn’t ask him for now.

At this moment, the hospital room door was opened.

Xie Chen’s arm was wrapped with a bandage, and the accompanying doctor was still reminding him of some precautions.

“Meow.”

Bai Li looked at Xie Chen, wanting to be held but afraid to ask for it.

Seeing this, Xie Chen stepped forward and took the little kitten into his arms with one hand.

“Were you scared?”

Bai Li was indeed scared. He leaned against Xie Chen’s chest, burying his head into it.

Bai Lin watched his younger brother relying on this human but didn’t have much reaction.

After all, he was older, so even when loving his younger brother, he kept some measure.

Unlike some other younger siblings who spoiled Bai Li so much that they were always watching him closely no matter what.

“Hello.”

Bai Lin greeted Xie Chen. His face was rugged, and his tone of voice matched the cold, hard impression he gave.

“Thanks to you for taking care of Li Li,” Bai Lin said in a friendly manner. “The injury on your arm, I won’t let it scar.”

This injury was from protecting Li Li during that incident, so as an older brother, he owed that gratitude.

He heard from his second sister that Fourth Brother had also come down the mountain and was very skilled in medicine, able to treat both humans and monsters.

The medicine to heal scars was with his second sister. But since her whereabouts often needed to be kept secret, he could only wait for her to contact him.

Bai Li, held in Xie Chen’s arms, still looked very sad on his little cat face after hearing the scar wouldn’t remain.

Even if there was no scar, Mr. Xian must be in a lot of pain now.

Seeing the little kitten’s gloomy mood in his arms, Xie Chen knew he was blaming himself.

“Li Li.”

He immediately took responsibility to comfort the kitten: “That woman just came after me because I fired her. She was upset and followed me here.”

“She was aiming at me. It was almost you who got involved.”

Bai Li shook his head, silent.

Mr. Xian’s explanation didn’t matter to him. He felt he hadn’t protected Mr. Xian well enough. As a monster cat, he thought he should be much stronger.

Bai Lin saw Xie Chen’s patience and kindness toward Bai Li.

“Thank you, Mr. Xie. It’s almost noon, let me treat you to a meal.”Bai Lin didn’t take his younger brother over but let him stay in Xie Chen’s arms.

Xie Chen could sense that Bai Li’s older brother was different from Tan Yi and Bai Liu.

He nodded in agreement.

It had to be said, Bai Lin looked cold and straightforward on the outside, but in some details, he was very attentive.

When ordering food at the restaurant, he chose several dishes that were light and wouldn’t irritate wounds. Xie Chen took the menu and ordered Bai Li’s favorite dishes.

“Meow.”

Bai Li sat on Xie Chen’s lap, meowing to ask, “Mr. Xie, can you still pick food for me?”

Mr. Xie’s injured arm was the right one; Bai Li was worried it would affect his daily life.

“I can.”

Xie Chen replied, “I can still lift my arm.”

Although there was still some pain.

Bai Li watched his arm closely, observing whether he showed any bad reactions while picking food.

After a while,

Bai Li turned his head and gloomily meowed to his older brother, “Big brother, you hold me and eat.”

Bai Lin took his brother and fed him and gave him water instead of Xie Chen.

Xie Chen looked at Bai Li and clearly saw the little kitten’s thoughts.

He was afraid that if he picked food, lifting his arm would hurt, so he asked his big brother to eat with him.

Halfway through the meal, Bai Liu hurried over.

As soon as he entered, Bai Lin raised his eyelids slightly and glanced coldly.

“Bai Xiao Liu.”

Bai Lin looked at the white curly-haired boy in front of him and frowned: “I heard you wanted to cremate me?”

Bai Liu: “...”

Bai Liu felt a lump in his heart.

“Big brother.”

He looked at the little tattletale sitting in big brother’s arms, blinking innocently, and admitted fault proactively: “This might be a misunderstanding.”

Big brother’s cat sense was still very good.

If it were someone else, it might really be a jerk, but big brother wasn’t the irresponsible type of jerk.“Sit down.”

Bai Lin didn’t let him stand the whole time. After Bai Liu sat down, he ordered two more dishes.

The three men and one cat were in the private room, eating and chatting.

Of course, the topic did not involve Big Brother Bai’s personal love life.

They only talked carefully about Li Li’s situation.

“Mr. Xie takes very good care of Li Li.”

Bai Lin repeated this in front of the sixth brother.

“Xiao Liu, since both you and third brother are busy, and Li Li is willing to be with Mr. Xie, then in the future, let Mr. Xie help take care of Li Li.”

Hearing this, Bai Liu pulled a face: “Big brother, I can take care of him when I’m working—”

Before he finished, Bai Lin narrowed his eyes and interrupted displeased.

“Your work environment isn’t suitable for Li Li.”

Keeping Li Li in the lab all day long, what kind of nonsense is that?

Though Bai Xiao Liu was tough, Big Brother’s authority was something all cats could not challenge.

Before, when Bai Xiao Liu carried Li Li around the mountain, Bai Lin, as big brother, didn’t compete with him—not because he feared Xiao Liu, but because of his position.

“Fine,”

Bai Liu replied.

Xie Chen was very satisfied with the conversation outcome between the brothers.

Very good.

Bai Li’s big brother was someone worth befriending.

After the meal, Bai Lin exchanged contact info with Xie Chen and handed Li Li over to him.

“Xiao Liu is young. If there’s anything he does wrong, please bear with him, Mr. Xie.”

“Okay, I will.”

While they talked, Bai Liu took his brother aside.

“Li Li, how could the person we saw today actually be our big brother?” Bai Xiao Liu was still very upset about big brother’s appearance.

Bai Li tilted his head, thought for a moment, and figured it out.

“Big brother told me when he was on the mountain that he would build me a big ship someday.”

And the yacht Mr. Xie took him to was the one big brother built!

Bai Xiao Liu: “...”Alright.

What his big brother said was really something he would follow through on.

“Mr. Xie, I still have some things to handle. I’ll visit you later.”

“Always at your service.”
