My Cat Turned Beastman Won't Stop Kissing My Neck
Chapter 139: Acting Cute in Progress"There’s definitely something wrong with Fuyi. The information he gave is real, but it’s not the whole story," Chi Heng said calmly.
Wen Qian also told everyone the information she had gotten from her adoptive mother. "I got the fragment, and a key, but I don’t know what it’s for yet."
"My adoptive mother also hinted that not all Beastmen want to return to Blue Star, and that the experiments might have something to do with the Beastmen themselves."
After speaking, Wen Qian glanced at Chi Heng.
’He despises his adoptive parents. Hearing this... he’s probably feeling upset.’
To her surprise, Chi Heng just nodded. "That’s possible."
’Take Fuyi, for example. With Gu Mian’s abilities, he could develop a cure to help Beastmen return to normal, given enough time... And yet Fuyi... it seems he doesn’t want him to do that.’
’But why?’
’If their transformation was forced upon them, why would they refuse Gu Mian’s help and intentionally hide information?’
’Perhaps they aren’t the victims, but the perpetrators...’
Of course, there was another reason for reaching this conclusion. Ling Xuan had also discovered a new clue.
Laboratories like this were established more than ten years ago, and traces of them could be found in all the major cities of Z Country.
The one they destroyed today was just one of them.
They had experts study the relevant lab reports. They were indeed focused on Beastman mutation, and specific potions had been developed as catalysts for almost every clan.
Except for the Snake Clan.
The Snake Clan was a rather special group. They had always kept a low profile over the years, rarely appearing in public.
Aside from Gu Mian back then, they had only ever captured three other Snake Clan Beastmen. However, those Beastmen died in the lab before the experiments even began.
The Snake Clan clearly had many members, yet for all these years, their pursuers had come up empty-handed... until they discovered Gu Mian could control snakes.
It turned out it wasn’t that there were none, but that they were all hidden.
Within the Beast Clan, the Snake Clan could rival a hundred beasts, and the Gu Family was the head of the Snake Clan.
Wen Qian suddenly thought of the Fuyi statue at the nightclub, and the man who never showed his face there. A bad feeling welled up inside her.
’Perhaps some Beastmen had colluded with humans long ago. Or maybe they never intended to go back to Blue Star, which is why they haven’t been in a rush to find the Critical Stone Fragments.’
’Because all they needed was to hold onto one fragment. Just one... and the Beastmen who wanted to return to Blue Star would never be able to restore the Critical Stone.’
Thinking of the battle in the Beast Fighting Arena, a chill crept up Wen Qian’s spine. Perhaps they had genuinely wanted Chi Heng at first, but later... they had set their sights on Gu Mian.
The fluid on the bodies of the Snake Clan is toxic. If a counter-agent can’t be successfully developed, then no matter how massive their organization is, they will always be forced into a passive position.
"A Mian is so smart, he definitely would have left us a clue," Wen Qian said with a frown.
"He would if he were taken while conscious," Chi Ye said, looking up at her. "But if..."
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
But luckily, Yin Zhi and the others had enough people in City A. Plus, creatures like Fuyi couldn’t be exposed to sunlight for long periods, and even in human form, they needed cloaks for cover.
Little Fox called Xiao Rui and asked him to help pull up the surveillance footage, only to discover that all the surveillance systems on campus had been tampered with.
Xiao Rui could only check the off-campus surveillance next. He watched it several times but saw no trace of Gu Mian and Fuyi.
But that was to be expected. If Fuyi had transformed into his beast form after taking Gu Mian, finding them would not be easy.
Of course, there was another possibility... The culprit never took him off campus at all.
But that was just a passing thought for Xiao Rui; even he would find it bizarre if he said it out loud. ’These people can’t have a "hideout" on campus, can they? They’re not running experiments at the school, are they?’
’Huh, wait a minute...’
"The science building at University A is pretty famous, isn’t it?" As he was thinking this, Xiao Rui’s voice came through the phone.
Wen Qian understood his meaning at once.
Chi Heng’s expression suddenly darkened.
The explosion had happened too quickly. At that speed, the slightest delay in dodging would have been dangerous.
But the explosion was a short-range detonation. Unless they flew out the window, it would have been difficult to escape unscathed in such a short time.
At first, they hadn’t paid it much mind, figuring Fuyi was a flying Beastman. But thinking about it now... perhaps they had never left at all.
It was daytime now, and for Fuyi to take Gu Mian and expose them both to the sun would be quite difficult.
"I’ll go back and check," Wen Qian said, holding her hand out to Little Fox, gesturing for him to give her the access pass.
Clutching his pocket tightly, Little Fox looked serious. "Take me with you."
"Absolutely not..."
Wen Qian refused instinctively. A major incident had just happened at the university; it wasn’t even certain they would be allowed into the labs. If she brought a Beastman back with her, what if it aroused suspicion?
"Pleeease..." Little Fox tried to act cute.
Yin Zhi roared from the other end of the phone: "Stay away from my wife!!"
Before he could finish, Chi Ye subconsciously glanced at Chi Heng, only to see his own good nephew inconspicuously shuffle a little closer to Wen Qian, trying to make his presence known.
Meanwhile, Little Fox deliberately turned his head to reveal the mark on his neck. Perhaps thinking the mark was too faint for Yin Zhi to see, he even tapped it twice with his finger.
Seeing that Yin Zhi was about to fly into another rage, Wen Qian fumbled to hang up the phone.
Immediately after, the phone started vibrating like crazy, with one notification after another.
Finally, Ling Xuan’s phone also rang.
"Young Master, it’s me."
"Mhm... She’s right here."
"She’s not picking up..."
"..."
Glancing cautiously at Wen Qian, the man walked awkwardly to the balcony, trying to placate his raving master on the other end.
Over here, Li Jiu, who had been silent all this time, weakly raised his hand.
He looked at everyone cautiously and said in a low voice, "Actually, I can fly up there..."
Only then did everyone’s attention turn to him. How could they have forgotten they had a bird right here who could fly?
But Wen Qian instinctively shot him down. "No, you can’t go."
In her eyes, Li Jiu was like a child. Besides, he was needed for the Critical Stone, and the number of fragments was still unclear... They absolutely could not afford to fail now.
"I think it’ll work. If he spots trouble, he can just fly away... There won’t be any danger," Chi Ye chimed in. Among the few of them, Li Jiu was the most suitable.
Wen Qian still frowned.
"Big Sister, let me go. I’m really capable..." As he spoke, Li Jiu tried to nuzzle his head against Wen Qian’s arm but was pulled away by Little Fox.
Hurt flickered in Li Jiu’s eyes. ’But whenever Young Master and I want Wen Qian to agree to something, this is what we always do!’
’Why isn’t it working now that it’s me...’
"We’ll keep watch from downstairs. If there’s any sign of trouble, we’ll charge right up!" the young Wolf Clan Beastman said with a serious expression.
