He reached out his hand to pat the Maine Coon’s head, but before he could get close, it shrank into Yu Yao’s arms and arched its back towards him!
“Agh, I just don’t know what to do with you…” The man sighed and helplessly retracted his hand.
As her eyes gradually adjusted to the light, Yu Yao saw the man’s face clearly.
He did not have the kind of delicate, pretty face that was popular nowadays. Instead, he exuded a more traditional sense of aesthetics. He had a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets. Not only was he handsome, he seemed to be mixed race. He was attractive enough to be admired by everyone!
Although the man in front of her was Yu Yao’s type, she hadn’t forgotten that she was escaping from captivity at an asylum. Now was not the time to admire some random guy’s beauty!
She lifted the cat in her arms and wanted to pass it into the man’s grasp, but the cat refused to accept her kindness. It clung onto Yu Yao’s clothes and refused to leave her.
She could already hear the noise coming from the entrance of the mental hospital.
Knowing that the security guards were about to find her, she panicked even more and wanted to hand the cat in her arms to its owner. However, the Maine Coon seemed to be treating this as a game of evasion. No matter how hard Yu Yao tried, she could not get the cat away from herself.
The man in front of her had a rather nasty character as well. He was acting like he was watching a comedy. He put the cigarette between his fingers to his lips and took a puff, and the smoke came out accompanied by a low chuckle.
Yu Yao couldn’t help but glare at the vile man.
At this moment, a few security guards with batons rushed over. The moment they saw Yu Yao, they shouted excitedly.
“The woman is outside the wall on the west side. Come and get her!”
“Damn it!” Yu Yao frowned, cursing angrily.
She sized up the man in front of her. She wasn’t sure if he would mind her own business, but she had no other option than to take a gamble.
“Sir, on account of me helping you find your cat, please could you help me? I’m not sick, I mustn’t be captured!”
“You helped me find my cat?” He chuckled in a low voice, as if he were teasing her.
He thought that she was a little girl who really knew how to distort the truth. She was taking credit for finding his cat, but he didn’t find it annoying.
Yu Yao thought that his smile signified rejection.
“This mental hospital is a devil’s den. The director has raped many young girls! Even if you are unwilling to help me, please do not help them!”
At this time, the doctor and security guard on duty had already reached them and were aggressively trying to grab Yu Yao.
Qiao Lian’s back was to the security guards. He raised his hand slightly and the few bodyguards in suits beside him started to move. In just a few moves, they snatched the batons from the security guards and stopped them.
There’s a chance!
?Yu Yao’s eyes lit up. “Sir, you’re really a good, helpful person! Could you help me call the police…?”The security guards got worked up when they heard the word “police”.
“This woman is a patient from our mental hospital. She has a paranoid delusional disorder. Sir, everything she says is nonsense. Please hand her over to us!”
Qiao Lian turned his head slightly and swept his gaze over the bellowing security captain.
“How noisy.”
It was just two light words, but the security captain was then hit in the mouth by the man’s bodyguard’s rod. Blood instantly flowed from his mouth. Before he could so much as cry out, his mouth was stuffed with an unknown cloth.
Everyone fell silent.
Qiao Lian looked at Yu Yao and said with a smile, “You’re wrong. I’m not a good person. Besides, I’m only here to find a naughty little cat that ran away from home. What can I help you with?”
He thought that the girl in front of him would continue to plead with him, or at least have the backbone to say, “Forget it if you don’t want to help me.”
Unexpectedly, the girl lifted the cat up and placed it next to her face. The two pairs of clear eyes widened slightly as they looked at Qiao Lian.
“Meow?” The real cat was confused.
“Meow~” The fake cat behaved even more coquettishly than the real one. “If that’s what you want, I can also be a cat, Master.”
“Cough…” A sudden cough came from one side. It was actually a bodyguard in a suit and leather shoes.
Qiao Lian’s bodyguards usually had a professionalism that far exceeded that of their peers. They generally wouldn’t make a fuss unless they couldn’t help it!
Gosh, they had been with Master Qiao for so many years, but when had they ever seen a woman act so coquettishly towards him?
This girl was actually not afraid of their master’s terrifying aura.
What was even more unbelievable to the bodyguards was that their master, who most hated pretentious behavior from women, had yet to make anyone throw her out.
Qiao Lian faced the girl who was acting like a cute cat in front of him. Not only did he not feel disgusted, he actually felt as if a furry tail had been brushed across his heart. This feeling was extremely novel to him.
He forgot to take a drag on the cigarette in his fingers for a long time. There was a pile of ashes accumulating, as if that could hide his momentary loss of composure.. He threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and his Italian custom-made leather shoe crushed it.
