"Hey, did you know that those cats at the entrance of our police station can actually understand human speech?"
Xiao Hu shared this information with his colleagues at the police station.
However, no one took him seriously, treating it as a joke.
"No, seriously, why are you making those faces? I'm telling the truth! I saw Captain Xu talking to them with my own eyes!"
"Uh-huh... sure, I believe you!"
"Yeah, right... cats understanding human speech."
The officers nodded at him, their responses dripping with sarcasm.
Cats understanding human speech? What nonsense!
"I'm telling the truth! Why won't anyone believe me?" Xiao Hu became agitated. "If you don't believe me, go ask Captain Xu. He can prove what I'm saying is true!"
While that's what he said, the officers weren't interested enough to actually go ask Captain Xu if cats could understand human speech. That would be too ridiculous!
Just then, Xu Mo, having bid farewell to the woman visitor and fed the cats, walked into the police station.
Xiao Hu, seeing him as a lifeline, immediately asked in front of everyone.
"Captain Xu, the cats at our entrance can understand what you say, right? I just told everyone, but no one believes me. Please tell them I'm telling the truth."
Xu Mo replied with a half-joking, half-serious smile,
"Haha, yes, what Xiao Hu said is true. I can talk to cats, and they even compliment me on my good looks."
At this, the officers laughed along with Xu Mo.
Although Xu Mo confirmed it, they still didn't believe it, assuming he was just playing along with Xiao Hu's joke.
After all, how could cats possibly understand human speech?
If someone said trained cats could understand simple commands like "shake hands," "sit," or "lie down," they would believe it because that's normal.
But there's a huge difference between following a few trained commands and actually understanding human speech.
The reason Xu Mo felt comfortable demonstrating his ability to communicate with cats in front of Xiao Hu and admitting it in front of so many officers was because he knew no one would believe it anyway - they would just treat it as a joke.
Just then, a delivery driver arrived at the police station entrance carrying bags of fruit.
"I have a delivery for Ms. Li. Who's Ms. Li?"
The officers exchanged glances and unanimously responded, "There's no Ms. Li here. You must have the wrong address."
"That's impossible. The address is right here, look at the order."
"But we really don't have anyone named Li here. Could she have entered the wrong address?"
"Let me call and check," the driver said, taking out his phone to call the customer.
Soon, he told the officers,
"I just asked, and it's not wrong. Ms. Li said she ordered it for you all. I'll leave these here since I need to make my next delivery."
With that, the delivery driver placed the bags of fruit on the table and left.
Xiao Hu knew the situation and glanced at Xu Mo.
"Captain, I think that lady who came to file a report earlier was surnamed Li. These must be from her. What should we do with the fruit? Should we return it?"
"We don't even know where she lives. Let's just share it among everyone," Xu Mo said. "It's not like it's cash, and it would be a waste not to accept their kind gesture."
Near the end of their shift, each officer received some cut fruit.
The younger, single officers ate their portions right away, while the older, married ones took their shares home to their families.
Xu Mo belonged to the former group, finishing his fruit before heading home.
When he arrived home, Xu Mo found the villa's door open.
Upon entering, he discovered an unexpected guest - a cream-colored British Shorthair cat.
The four women were gathered in the living room, playing with the cat.
"Where did this cat come from?" Xu Mo asked while taking off his shoes.
"Welcome home," Zhou Qiaoqiao turned to look at Xu Mo. "We don't know. This little cat was meowing at the door, and after we let it in, it wouldn't leave. We're not sure if it's lost or abandoned."
After changing into slippers, Xu Mo walked over to the cat and crouched down to pet it.
Unexpectedly, the cat wriggled away from Xu Mo and jumped straight into Zhou Qiaoqiao's arms, seemingly disgusted by Xu Mo's touch.
Xu Mo: "???"
Seeing Xu Mo's defeat, the four women burst into melodious laughter that echoed through the villa.
"This must be the legendary 'opposites attract.' It's a male cat, so maybe it only likes being petted by females."
Zhou Qiaoqiao hugged the cat closer as she spoke.
The cat purred contentedly, rubbing its head against An Youyi's hand with a satisfied expression.
I can't let this slide - a little cat trying to steal my thunder? I need to find a way to get rid of it! Xu Mo thought.
"Since you all seem to like this cat, why don't we keep it for now, and if we find its owner later, we can return it... By the way, I heard cats need to be neutered to prevent them from yowling during mating season. How about we take it to get neutered?"
"Yes, yes! Let's keep it!" An Youyi immediately nodded in agreement. She really liked this cat - it was cute, affectionate, and had a nice feel to its fur.
The other three women also nodded, supporting Xu Mo's decision.
"Well then, let's take it to get neutered," Xu Mo said, staring at the cat in Zhou Qiaoqiao's arms.
"Meow!"
"What? Don't want to get neutered? You don't have a choice. In this house, you follow my rules. When I say neuter, you get neutered. Let's go."
Upon hearing this, the previously docile and affectionate cat suddenly went berserk. Its round eyes widened in "horror," and it immediately broke free from Zhou Qiaoqiao's embrace.
Having understood Xu Mo's words, it protested while frantically running out of the villa, its paws slipping on the floor, nearly crashing into the doorframe in its haste to escape.
No way, absolutely no way would it get neutered - too terrifying!
How could it face female cats after that?
This man is a demon! This house isn't for me - I better leave!
Watching the male cat flee in panic, Xu Mo felt satisfied, thinking to himself: See? I knew how to handle you. Trying to stay in my house while not letting me pet you? Dream on!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
