Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 526 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (5)

Although Yan Heng was unambitious and unsuccessful, his father was a very traditional man who believed that only his son could inherit the family business.

Therefore, even after spurring his son on for more than 30 years without any improvement, he still harbored illusions about his son and was committed to raising him up and cultivating him into an heir who could support the Yan family.

Watching Yan Heng go downstairs, grab a bottle of soda from the refrigerator, and lean against the doorframe to watch the commotion while drinking it, Yan Zhen had a rather unfriendly thought.

If Yan's father could completely lose faith in his good-for-nothing younger brother, wouldn't he be able to inherit the Yan family's vast fortune?

As for how to make Yan's father completely lose faith in Yan Heng...

Yan Hengshui had drunk half of his drink when he noticed a sinister gaze directed at him from the side. He turned his head and met Yan Zhen's gaze, and was momentarily stunned.

"Sis, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Yan Zhen looked away: "No."

"Then why are you staring at me?"

Yan Zhen slapped Yan Heng on the forehead, making him cry out "Ouch!" and quickly cover his head with his hand.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help bring Grandma back!"

Yan Heng: "..."

He put down the water and ran out of the living room to join the group surrounding the old lady.

Yan Zhen watched his retreating figure and couldn't help but chuckle.

Zhou Yanqing's usual image in the Quick Transmigration Division is that of a steady and reserved person. Although he looks gentle and easy to talk to, anyone with a little sense can see that he is a man of his word.

Yan Zhen had never interacted with him, but the fact that the two took turns sitting in first place on the leaderboard created a competitive relationship.

How could Yan Zhen possibly miss such an opportunity to use his position to prank this God-training candidate during the mission?

Meeting her was Zhou Yanqing's bad luck.

Before long, the old lady was subdued, and Yan Heng carried her back, like carrying a stranded, thrashing fish. He was hit by the old lady several times along the way.

The farce ended with the old lady being forcibly sent back to her room.

Yan Zhen also returned to his room on the fifth floor.

After taking the elevator to the fifth floor, as soon as the elevator doors opened, several cats of different colors meowed and came over, circling around Yan Zhen's legs.

Yan Zhen noticed that one of the orange cats had a limp in its hind leg, walking with a limp, but that didn't stop it from eating itself into a ball shape.

Among a group of cats meowing and begging for petting, Yan Zhen bent down and picked up the orange cat.

The orange cat immediately rolled over in her arms, snuggling up to her and meowing even more sweetly.

Holding the orange cat, Yan Zhen pushed open the bedroom door and sat down on the edge of the bed.

She examined the orange cat's hind legs and confirmed that it was the same cat Gao Shenghan had rescued when he struck up a conversation with the original owner of the body.

Judging by its age, this cat is already twelve or thirteen years old.

But it was well taken care of in the Yan family. Its fur was shiny, its eyes were clear, and it showed no signs of aging despite its advanced age.

Yan Zhen was scratching the orange cat's chin to amuse it. The orange cat held her hand with its two front paws, tilted its chin up, squinted its eyes, and looked on with enjoyment.

But the next moment, it suddenly opened its eyes, stared warily at the doorway, and made a "woof woof" warning sound.

A few seconds later, footsteps were heard outside, and then Gao Shenghan pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing Yan Zhen holding the orange cat, and the cat nestled in her arms baring its teeth at her, Gao Shenghan squatted down a meter away from the cat and smiled helplessly: "This little thing, it bares its teeth as soon as it sees me, an ungrateful little wretch."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen paused slightly.

Her gaze shifted from Gao Shenghan, who was smiling, to the orange cat. The orange cat had now rolled over and stood up, arching its body, its pupils slightly constricted, and the fur on its back standing on end—signs of impending attack and stress.

The little guy didn't simply reject Gao Shenghan; he saw him as an enemy.

Cats are not creatures devoid of human nature; on the contrary, these perceptive little animals are most capable of sensing the good and evil that humans show towards them.

Gao Shenghan has raised this cat for over ten years, yet it remains so wary of him, even showing disgust, for one simple reason.

The person who caused the orange cat's hind leg injury and disability twelve or thirteen years ago was Gao Shenghan himself.

In order to get closer to the original owner of Yan Zhen, he injured the cat and then used the guise of rescuing it to create a chance encounter at the stray cat shelter. The cat later became a tool for him to get closer to the original owner and win his favor.

The original owner developed an initial liking for him because he rescued and adopted the orange cat.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen quietly let go of the orange cat's hand and gently patted its bottom.

The orange cat immediately charged at Gao Shenghan like a cannonball, scratching his face hard with its paw.

"what!!!!"

Caught off guard, Gao Shenghan was scratched by the claw, causing him to fall backward and land on the ground with a scream.

Yan Zhen pretended to be surprised, quickly shooed the orange cat away, and then went to help Gao Shenghan: "Honey, are you alright?"

Gao Shenghan covered his cheek with his hand, and blood seeped out from between his fingers.

He winced in pain, and Yan Zhen comforted him as he released his grip. Four clear, bloody cat-scratch marks extended from the corner of his right eye to his ear, a shocking sight.

"Oh dear, your injury is quite serious." Yan Zhen said as she took a tissue to wipe the blood off his face. "You need to go to the hospital to treat the wound and get a rabies vaccine, otherwise it may leave a scar."

Gao Shenghan: "..."

Yan Zhen helped Gao Shenghan downstairs. When Yan's parents saw that Gao Shenghan had been injured by the cat, they were shocked and quickly asked the driver to take Gao Shenghan to the hospital.

The driver arrived, and Yan Zhen asked the housekeeper to accompany Gao Shenghan.

Yan's mother asked in surprise, "Zhenzhen, aren't you going to the hospital with your son-in-law?"

"You guys go first, I'll be there shortly," Yan Zhen said. "Xiao Huang's paw is also injured, I'll treat it first."

Upon hearing that Yan Zhen was still concerned about the cat despite his injuries, Gao Shenghan's expression darkened.

Noticing his expression, Yan's mother advised Yan Zhen, "Is the person more important or the cat? You should take your son-in-law to the hospital first. I'll have someone go upstairs to check on the cat."

“Xiao Huang is stressed and won’t let anyone near him.” Yan Zhen waved his hand and said to the butler, “Uncle Liu, take him there. I’ll be back later.”

After Gao Shenghan left, Yan Zhen went back upstairs.

Yan Zhen pulled the frightened little yellow cat out from under the bed. After checking its paws and confirming that the blood under its nails was Gao Shenghan's and that it wasn't injured, she opened the cabinet and took out a cat treat to reward the little yellow cat.

"Well done!" Yan Zhen patted Xiao Huang. "Wait a little longer. Once I take care of this beast, you can retire in peace."

For the past ten years or so, he has been living with his abuser every day and has not been able to tell his owner about his suffering. You can imagine how much psychological pressure this little guy is under.

After cleaning Xiao Huang's paws, Yan Zhen began rummaging through the room and checking everything while Gao Shenghan was out.
