The Last Cat in the Universe
Chapter 33
The person who opened the door was Marshal Kevin's wife.
She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful face, a wonderful figure, and an elegant temperament. She was the type of mature woman that Yue An's first owner envied the most. She was also an excellent actress in this era.
During this period of time, Yue An often met Marshal Kevin and his wife in this residential area. They always walked together hand in hand, whispering in each other's ears and temples. Every time they looked at each other, their smiles were full of tenderness.
As a cat, Yue An could see that they had a good relationship.
Of course, Yue An didn't bring the mahjong box to them because he liked this beautiful big sister, nor did he have a good impression of Marshal Kevin. It was because every time they saw him in the residential area, except for the first time when he didn't have anything on him, they would always carry something with them. When they saw the snowy white furball, they would pet his head and feed him some snacks.
They were completely different from the other people who only wanted to pet him and didn't know how to feed him.
In Yue An's eyes, anyone who was willing to feed the cute kitten was not a bad person.
Yue An raised his head, and his tail hooked onto the handle of the mahjong box. He meowed at the Marshal's wife who had come to the door.
The beautiful madam lowered her head to look at him. Her beautiful face revealed a slightly surprised expression.
The kitten squatting outside the door had a small black optical computer around its neck, and there was a mini camera flying next to it. Its tail had just let go of the handle of the small box on its back. The bottom of the box had been dragged all the way here, and there were traces of wear and tear on the bottom.
At this moment, the optical computer interface floated above the kitten's head. The live broadcast room was open, and all kinds of bubbles kept popping out of the white furball's head.
Lady Ellie looked at Yue An, who was looking at her with his head full of bubbles, and revealed a sweet smile.
"What's wrong?" She squatted down and skillfully stroked Yue An's head.
"Meow." Yue An rubbed against the soft hand, jumped behind the box, and pushed it in front of the wife.
"For me?"
"Meow."
"Can I open it now?"
Yue An licked its paws. "Meow."
Madam reached out and opened the box. When she saw the neatly arranged small squares inside, she was startled. "Hmm?"
"Who's here?" Marshal Kevin was dressed in casual loungewear.
Wearing a pair of large underwear, he walked out of the house in a slovenly manner. When he saw the camera next to the Yue An, he stopped in his tracks and hurriedly went back the way he came.
Lady Ellie scratched the kitten's chin with one hand and flipped through the small cubes with the other.
There were many kinds of patterns, four of each kind.
It was crudely made and did not look like a work of art. After all, there was nothing praiseworthy about it except for the small white square that was cut neatly.
Handicrafts also need to look good in order to sell!
Madam Ellie glanced at the useless comment section of the live broadcast. She flipped through the neatly arranged cubes over and over again, but she still could not figure out what it was.
She gently scratched Yue An's chin. She did not think it was embarrassing for her to not know what it was. She simply asked in front of the camera, "Xiao Yu An, what's this?"
"Meow!"
Yue An raised its paws and pulled down the optical computer that was floating above its head. It threw the live broadcast interface aside and flipped to the page of the rules that Ji Xiuyun had changed yesterday. It raised the page in front of Madam Ellie.
"Mahjong … rules?
Mahjong? "
Lady Ellie finally felt that this was not something that could be explained in a few words. She looked at the rules and opened the door. "Come in first."
"Meow ~" Yue An's tail once again hooked onto the handle of the box. It dragged the box in and rubbed its paws on the small carpet at the door to prevent its four paws from being covered in dust and rubbing on the floor of the house.
Marshal Kevin had already changed into formal clothes. When he walked out, he saw his student's cat lying on his wife's lap. It was wagging its tail and enjoying being stroked leisurely.
Lady Ellie's hand was soft and smooth. At this moment, she was focused on looking at the rules on the panel. Her slender and beautiful white jade-like hands were gently stroking the milky white cat on her lap.
Marshal Kevin looked at this scene and was about to die of anger!
I haven't enjoyed this kind of benefit for many years, and I can't even compare to a cat that I've known for less than a month!
Ji Xiuyun, that brat, not only did he give him 500 energy crystals, he even dared to send a cat to steal his master's wife's favor!!
Bah!!
His intentions were terrible!
Marshal Kevin wanted to rush over and push the cat away.
But it was only a thought.
He had a serious, calm, and reliable face as he walked over to his wife and sat down.
"What is this?" he asked.
Yue An's ears twitched. It looked up at Marshal Kevin, who was sitting over, and moved to the side in disgust. Its butt was facing him.
Marshal Kevin was speechless.
Let me tell you, when I'm angry, I'll crazily stroke this soft kitten.
Lady Ellie looked at the interaction between the man and the cat in amusement. She gently waved her hand to get her husband's attention back.
"This is a small game from ancient Earth. It's quite interesting, but we're still missing one person."
She glanced at the live broadcast page that Yue An had pushed above her head. She thought for a moment and said, "Let's choose an audience."
At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast room seemed to have completely forgotten that they were originally concerned about Ji Xiuyun and Yue An. They crazily clicked on the event registration button in the live broadcast room.
What a joke, do you know who created this event?
The last cat in the entire universe!
The Shield of the Empire, Marshal Kevin!
The intergalactic superstar, Lady Ellie!
Which one of them wasn't a character that could shake the world with a stomp of their feet?
Also, this was a random person out of tens of billions of people!
Sign up!
Anyone who didn't sign up would be an idiot!
Many media workers had been squatting in the live broadcast room, trying to deduce some information from Yue An's side. They came with the intention of writing a big story. After an entire afternoon, they saw that the Yue An's side was about to turn dark, but they didn't get any big news. Instead, their minds were filled with mahjong tricks.
This wouldn't do!
The target was right there. How could they come up with a press release?!
The media workers thought hard, then slapped their thighs and wrote down three topics.
Empire Marshal Ji Xiuyun sued the six people from the First Ladder laboratory to the Empire's Supreme Court. The Supreme Court announced that it had accepted the commission that day. Was it privilege or sufficient evidence?
Yue An didn't block the Research Department's IP mask during the live broadcast. Did the Research Department finally give up completely, or did the two parties reach a compromise over the First Ladder laboratory?
Cat friendship: Yue An brought the Ancient Earth game to Marshal Kevin's house. Did this mean that the tense relationship between the two Marshals was about to break?
What did it mean to make things up?!
What did it mean to make things up out of nothing?!
What did it mean to talk nonsense with a straight face?!
This was it!
Look at these topics!
It was simply amazing!
The media workers all started thinking wildly. Then, when the attention of many Star Web users was drawn to mahjong, they released their own articles and led them back to the right path.
Ji Xiuyun was so busy today that his feet didn't touch the ground.
First, he took out the two people locked up in the military prison and handed them over to the Supreme Court of the Empire's Supreme Court.
Then, as a deterrent, he accompanied them to visit the other four defendants. Finally, accompanied by his team of lawyers and the military propaganda department, he followed the examiner to the Research Department.
The researchers in the Research Department were very professional. Almost everyone in the Research Department knew what they saw through the law enforcement apparatus two nights ago. However, they didn't leak any information to the outside world.
Even the soldiers brought by the Marshal kept their mouths shut. They didn't say anything when they were questioned repeatedly.
When it came to collecting evidence and verifying evidence, the acting minister was very cooperative. He filled in some small details that non-professionals couldn't see.
When these small details were put in court, they would accumulate and increase the sentence of the accused.
Ji Xiuyun admitted that because of his own experience, he had a prejudice against the people in the Research Department. However, after this incident, he started to see the researchers in a different light.
By the time the evidence and development of the case were all verified, the Supreme Court of the Empire announced that the trial would begin in three days. The sky was already dark.
Marshal Ji walked out of the Supreme Court of the Empire's Supreme Court building with two army commanders who were worried about his situation. A car stopped in front of them.
The car window rolled down, revealing the face of the Emperor's secretary.
Ji Xiuyun wasn't surprised.
The reason why he went directly to the Supreme Court of the Empire was because this was the only court that even the Emperor couldn't interfere with. Even the Emperor could be judged by this court.
As long as there was enough evidence, it wasn't impossible to sue the Emperor.
Ji Xiuyun wasn't surprised that the Emperor would come looking for him because of this matter.
However, the young Emperor didn't directly rush over to question him. Instead, he sent his secretary. It seemed that the Emperor had grown a lot after not seeing him for a few years.
Marshal Ji generously opened the car door and sat in the car with his two army commanders.
"Marshal Ji, isn't the military's actions a bit too big recently?"
The secretary didn't bother with pleasantries. The Emperor was so anxious in the palace that bubbles were about to burst out of his mouth. How could he have so much time to beat around the bush?
"His Majesty has treated you well since he ascended the throne. It's really inappropriate for you to demonstrate your power like this."
Ji Xiuyun's expression didn't change, but he felt that these words didn't sound right.
How was the military's actions too big?
How was he demonstrating his power?
Sooner or later, he would have a falling out with the Research Department. The Emperor should have been prepared for this.
Fine, he admitted that his methods were a bit too extreme. However, it couldn't be considered a demonstration.
Marshal Ji was at a loss.
However, he still took the initiative to express his attitude. "Those people deserved it."
"Marshal Ji."
The secretary raised his voice slightly. "Let's not beat around the bush. His Majesty wants to know clearly what you think."
They were all understanding people. Understanding people spoke frankly.
"The five hundred energy crystals in the black market were bought by the military, right?" the secretary asked.
Ji Xiuyun was very confused. How did they suddenly get involved in this matter?
However, he didn't say anything. After all, nearly half of the five hundred energy crystals had already entered the small belly of the Yue An.
Moreover, his teacher had taken the blame for him.
The secretary took this as a tacit agreement.
"It was bought by Marshal Kevin's subordinates. As for why Marshal Kevin bought the energy crystals, we admit that we were in the wrong."
Politics was indeed full of filth, but when he thought about it, he felt that there was something wrong with his head. He wanted to send a hero who had supported an era to the grave.
"Marshal Kevin bought the five hundred energy crystals as a response to our actions. This is understandable. However, His Majesty hopes that you won't be at odds with him because of this."
The secretary tried his best to persuade him. "Marshal Ji, I understand that heroes cherish heroes. I also understand that when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold. When the rabbit is dead, the hound is cooked."
Ji Xiuyun didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't understand what the secretary was trying to say.
They were clearly very straightforward words, but why did it sound like they were speaking in riddles?
"You are worried that you will follow in Marshal Kevin's footsteps. Therefore, you want to repair your relationship with him and work together again. His Majesty can understand."
The secretary looked at Ji Xiuyun's indifferent expression. He couldn't figure out what Ji Xiuyun was thinking. Therefore, he could only continue.
"… However, the higher-ups no longer have any intention of doing anything to Marshal Kevin. They hope that you can continue to stand against Marshal Kevin and restrain him. You don't want to see the military be afraid of the people in power because of the unity of the higher-ups, right?"
Ji Xiuyun turned his head and looked at his two generals.
The two generals were looking down at their optical supercomputers and pretending that they didn't hear anything.
It was as if the secretary was the only one in the car who was seriously playing politics.
Ji Xiuyun still didn't say anything.
He understood what the secretary was trying to say.
What the secretary was trying to say was that Kevin was angry because the higher-ups of the Empire wanted to send him to the grave. He had bought 500 energy stones that could easily destroy a city as a threat. This was to make the higher-ups forcefully suppress this idea.
Ji Xiuyun had also been targeting the people from the Research Department who were protected by the higher-ups of the Empire. It seemed that he was quite restless.
The higher-ups of the Empire suspected that the two Marshal of the military were working together to cause trouble.
Although they controlled the economic lifeline and more or less raised a private army, they were still quite afraid of the military power of the entire military.
However, there was still one thing that Ji Xiuyun didn't understand.
— When did he show that he wanted to work together with his teacher?
The general of the Fourth Army, who was sitting behind him, gently poked Marshal Ji's waist.
Ji Xiuyun turned his head and saw the holographic projection of Yue An and Marshal Kevin sitting at the table playing mahjong.
The headline of the news was: Friendship Breaks!
The two marshals were about to join forces!
Ji Xiuyun, "…"
Ji Xiuyun, "???"
No, you can't think that the two Marshal of the Empire are teaming up just because Yue An went to play mahjong with someone, right??
Don't you think that this is a bit too childish?
Can't you give them some entertainment?
Marshal Ji looked at the secretary and felt speechless.
He wanted to explain that Yue An's actions had nothing to do with him, but he felt that it was too pale and powerless. After all, that was his cat.
However, if he didn't explain, Marshal Ji felt that he was particularly innocent. It wasn't easy for him to go home after a busy day, but he was hit with a black pot. He felt very wronged.
The secretary continued, "Although it's a pity that the talents on the first ladder are gone, we will completely give up and will no longer provide legal assistance. Your Majesty, I hope that you can give a clear and definite answer."
Ji Xiuyun, "…"
It could be said that he was a master of acting.
Marshal Ji simply wanted to pry open the heads of this group of high-ranking officials to see if there was only cotton wool or water inside.
They could imagine a rebellion just by playing mahjong. Could this group of idiots still do it?!
"Marshal Ji, we will not interfere in this lawsuit anymore. You have already achieved your goal of sending your cat to Marshal Kevin. Give us a definite answer."
Ji Xiuyun, "…"
I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense.
Ji Xiuyun finally couldn't take it anymore.
He was expressionless and said calmly, "Yue An is still a child."
He really just went to find someone to play mahjong!
You bunch of actors can let him go and let me go, okay?!
Marshal Ji's head hurt.
