Strange Life of a Cat
Chapter 417 - Chapter 417 Chapter 400 Mutation_2

Chapter 417: Chapter 400 Mutation_2 Chapter 417: Chapter 400 Mutation_2 Zheng Tan followed behind, standing at the door without wandering around while Pei Liang and Wei Leng went inside to look for someone.

After a while, Wei Leng’s voice came from inside the house, “Ermao, come in.”

“What happened?” Da Hao asked as he followed Ermao inside.

When they entered the house, they saw the owner of the house in one of the rooms, the young man referred to by Da Hao as “Da Kang.” He appeared to be in his early twenties and was lying on the ground without any strength, gasping for air as if someone had just strangled him.

“Da Kang, what happened to you?!” Da Hao hurried over and asked with concern. Although he wasn’t extremely close with Da Kang, they got along fine, and seeing him in this state, he grew worried, because Da Kang was not only struggling to breathe, but his eyes also seemed out of focus.

“It’s nothing, he’ll be alright in a bit,” Wei Leng said, and when Ermao looked over, Wei Leng raised his hand and pointed to several spots on his neck.

Ermao understood instantly.

“After the carotid artery and jugular vein are choked, the blood supply to the brain is blocked, causing the brain to become oxygen-deprived, which leads to blindness within seconds. Don’t worry, Da Hao, he will recover after a while,” Ermao paused, then looked towards Wei Leng and Pei Liang, “It looks very professional.”

“So, Da Kang has made enemies with someone?” Da Hao asked. Since his wallet had fattened, his horizons had broadened. He had met many people and encountered many situations. Thus, he wasn’t overly shocked by Ermao’s words, “So, that person earlier…”

As Da Hao said this while looking at Ermao, upon seeing Ermao nod, Da Hao couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Such a terrifying person had just passed through their back door, and he hadn’t noticed anything wrong at all. If it weren’t for Ermao and the others coming over, would Da Kang even have the chance to breathe now? Or might he have been taken away already?

Once Da Kang finally came to, Da Hao couldn’t help but ask, “Da Kang, what kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into to attract such dangerous people? They are after your life, aren’t they?”

“Life? Yes, they are after our lives! After their lives!!” Da Kang looked a bit insane.

Seeing Da Kang like this, Da Hao couldn’t help but take a step back, while Ermao and the others focused on the last sentence.

“They?” Ermao asked.

Da Kang stood up, looked at a snake sculpture on the table next to him, and gently touched it with his hand.

“They are so beautiful, so mesmerizing, how could those people… how could they…”

Zheng Tan couldn’t help but shudder at the sight, his skin crawling with goosebumps. This man actually found such cold-blooded, blinkless creatures beautiful!

In this world, some people love furry animals like cats and dogs, while others love hairless, cold-blooded reptiles and are deeply fascinated by them.

Clearly, the Da Kang brothers were such people.

Da Kang briefly explained the cause of the incident.

The focal point wasn’t actually on Da Kang himself, but on his brother Dazhi.

Dazhi had a problem caring for snakes at the zoo, but the real issue wasn’t with Dazhi. The truth was that the snakes that were considered dead due to improper care were actually taken by someone.

“When my brother was wrongfully accused by the zoo people, he said, ‘Justice resides in the human heart.’ Many people in the zoo knew what the truth was,” Da Kang said with a mocking laugh. “Hah! Justice resides in the human heart is just a useless platitude! If it’s not spoken out, it’s always just an injustice! My brother was wronged for five years! And was used for five years!!”

After leaving the zoo, Dazhi was offered a high salary to help take care of snakes, and the big snake that the two brothers had bought and raised for many years was also sold for a high price. Dazhi had been taking care of it. A few days ago, Da Kang received a message from his brother.

Dazhi discovered that the person who hired him to take care of snakes used them as a smokescreen for smuggling, and the ultimate fate of this “tool” was certain death. Unable to bear it, Dazhi secretly tampered with the cage, hoping the big snake could escape on its own during transit. Dazhi then found an opportunity to leave, and to this day, Da Kang still hasn’t been able to contact his brother, until today when that man came to inquire about Dazhi’s whereabouts. Unexpectedly, the man had not been there long when Ermao and the others arrived, and he immediately left through the window upon hearing the noises outside.

Ermao and the others had an idea of what was going on. If things were as Da Kang described, it was clear that Dazhi had indeed been used, and someone had been setting a trap for him starting from the incident at the zoo.

While Ermao and the others were contemplating the situation of the Dazhi and Da Kang brothers, Zheng Tan thought about the big snake he had seen in the woods a few days ago, which must have been the precious snake mentioned by Da Kang, the one for which Dazhi risked danger to help.

Unfortunately, the Da Kang brothers would never know that the big snake had already been dissected by those people.

As they were speaking, Ermao’s phone rang, and almost at the same time, Wei Leng and Pei Liang’s phones also rang.

Something had happened in the yard.

To be precise, something had happened to Pei Jie.

Pei Jie was missing.

Today, Pei Jie took Er Yuan and Little Wei to play near the yard. Taking advantage of Zheng Tan’s absence, he secretly took the small box that had always been in the trunk of Ermao’s car and claimed he wanted to explore a secret, but he couldn’t open it no matter what.

There were two mothers in the yard, and Pei Jie couldn’t attempt to pick the lock in the yard, so he took the box out of the yard and even coaxed the two kids to help him. Unfortunately, neither Er Yuan nor Little Wei knew the password to the box.
