Chapter 1023: The Matter of a Gun
If Moe were not with Jiang Yao, he would not hesitate to chop off Moe’s claws and turn them into a weapon.
There was another point. Moe was small, but he ran very fast. That point was very beneficial for sending news.
If Jiang Yao were in danger in the future and could not escape in time to ask for help, Moe’s speed and IQ would be a great help.
Jiang Yao took a sip of the soup, nodded, and looked at Moe with a smile. Did that mean Moe had changed from the young master that she had to serve to her bodyguard? Or perhaps a secret guard?
Jiang Yao was puzzled. How did Lu Xingzhi manage to make Moe so obedient?
When she was in Yuan City, and when she had asked Moe to do something for her, she had to beg and persuade him. Why were Lu Xingzhi’s words so useful?
“How did you persuade Moe?” Jiang Yao asked curiously.
“It’s something about a gun.” Lu Xingzhi sat down beside Jiang Yao and picked up vegetables for her to eat.
Then, Jiang Yao realized that Lu Xingzhi was not joking about wasting bullets. He might have really pointed a gun at Moe’s head.
Jiang Yao looked at Moe with sympathy. No wonder he was afraid. After all, there were very few such wild men, and he had to meet one.
However, Jiang Yao still did not understand. Moe had good skills, so why was he so afraid of Lu Xingzhi?
Jiang Yao suspected that when she brought Moe to Rong County, Moe had secretly followed Manager Sun back to Nanjiang City alone because he knew Lu Xingzhi was there.
She thought about it carefully; if she had not brought Moe to Yuan City, he would have managed to avoid Lu Xingzhi’s presence every single time. He had never met Lu Xingzhi until then.
“By the way, how did you notice that Moe was different from other ordinary cats yesterday?” Jiang Yao had asked about it the previous day, but she was interrupted by Chen Feibai’s call, so she did not reply from Lu Xingzhi.
“Moe’s story is full of loopholes.” Lu Xingzhi glanced at Moe, who was crouched on the chair as he ate. He said, “He did not eat anything when he first arrived, but he didn’t look like he had lost any weight from hunger. Then, he used his sharp claws to cut the leash, and he even took the fruit knife on the coffee table. He has such a small body, but his appet.i.te is extraordinary. He can even understand my words and even bathe himself. How can he be a normal cat?”
Jiang Yao had known Moe’s behavior for a long time, so she did not find him strange at all. She was used to it. However, Lu Xingzhi thought there was something wrong with Moe.
He had suspected Moe the moment he rolled his eyes at him. So, he tested the cat again and again, and finally, he got his results.
“Traction rope?” Jiang Yao exclaimed, “What’s wrong with the traction rope?”
“Moe cut the traction rope with his claws, and he also used the fruit knife on the table. He wanted me to think that he used a fruit knife to cut it, but the cut of the traction rope was very neat. It was not something a normal cat could do with a fruit knife. Furthermore, there was no trace of wear on the blade, so the fruit knife was used to deceive an idiot.”
After he said that, Lu Xingzhi probably realized that he had misused his words, so he quickly explained, “When I said idiot, I meant Moe, not you.”
Jiang Yao rolled her eyes at Lu Xingzhi. She did not even think much about it if he had not explained. Once he did, she could not avoid thinking about it. He might as well not say the last sentence.
