Transmigrating into a 90’s Cat, I Want to Work for My Home Country

In the room, Qin Xiao wore a dark green coat and leaned on the headboard, Li Ai Guo was accompanied by some team members, and the young members were writing on the notebooks in their hands.

Song Bei was currently chattering with a middle-aged man that was sitting by the side of the bed, and whose military rank was not low; those who were sitting were all higher-ups, young people like Guo Chao Ming were standing upright, their expressions were relaxed, but their backs were still as straight as pine and cypress.

Bai Xia Xia immediately became the focus, she weakly shrunk her tiny head; from conditioned reflex, whenever she faced these higher-ups, she always got the feeling of being guilty like when a student faced the dean.

In just a moment, she withered.

Discussion sounds stopped abruptly; many people stared at Bai Xia Xia.

Bai Xia Xia pulled down her ears from embarrassment, meowing at Song Bei as a form of greeting.

Sure enough, today was not a suitable day to go out!

My social death day!

In this moment, Bai Xia Xia was so nervous that she overlooked that fact that she was a cat. The truth was, the actions and postures she made were insignificant in the eyes of others.

When she reacted and thought it through, the shame in her heart became unable to be suppressed.

Just by thinking about it, Bai Xia Xia felt that the skin under her fur burned, the temperature soaring.

Its paws letting go of its hold, the Persian cat collapsed on the ground from the door like a cat pancake, its ears pressed down into airplane ears.

Bearing the burning gaze of seven to eight people, she worked hard to ignore them.

“This is…”

Can there be cats in wards?

“Old Zhao, it was her who saved Qin Xiao.”

“Doesn’t look like it.”

“Haha, people can’t be judged based on their looks, it’s the same for cats.” Very soon, Song Bei changed the subject, and Bai Xia Xia took this opportunity to roll herself into the window curtains at flying speed.

Curling into a fluffy bundle, nested in a corner, to not let anybody see.

Guo Chao Ming sneakily and unperceivably moved over there: “You even know how to be shy?”

A claw extended out from under the curtain, the tip of the curved nail was sharp and cold.

In Guo Chao Ming’s eyes, only a little bit of white was seen from the beautiful nails of the cat’s paw, which was revealed under the curtains.

It was fiercely cute and soft, just by looking at the snow-white fur on the white paw, it seemed to be very comfortable to touch. Not pinching the paw that had been delivered to the door would be stupid, so he very welcomely, ra~vaged it.

Bai Xia Xia …ahhhhh! This freeloader guy who’s taking unfair advantage of me. There’s no need to wait for tomorrow, I’ll crush him to death with my finger today!

Outside, Liu Feng wavered, not knowing if he should follow in.

Did this cat come to the hospital to visit? He was not sure, but he also understood somewhat in his heart.

Liu Feng got something akin to excitement from encountering a magical beast.

It was like he had peeped on a secret and discovered a treasure that other people could not see.

He was so excited and moved that his face turned red, I’ve found a treasure, he wanted to immediately go in and see the cat’s owner.

Standing in front of the next-door ward, he pondered hesitantly, Liu Feng gave up.

In the beginning, he thought that the cat had brought him here because it had plan. Now, the cat had gone in and not come back out. Liu Feng found it embarrassing to go in empty-handed, so he intended to inquire at the nurse station, to find out about good news ahead of time.

What he did not know, was that Bai Xia Xia’s plan had been to find Qin Xiao and let him see and take him to a psychiatric hospital. After being stared at by a group of superiors, she had forgotten it for a moment, and once Bai Xia Xia remembered this matter, Liu Feng had already disappeared.

It was unknown if he was fortunate or unlucky.

Liu Feng turned to go downstairs, Rashly intruding into a hospital room, that’s too impolite.

After all, it’s a patient.

Guo Chao Ming played with Bai Xia Xia for a while, Song Bei and the group of higher-ups were talking about serious matters, looking for the relics, saving the hostages.

The possibility of the words that Old Liao said being frightening words to scare people was big. The kids that were kidnapped would not be in danger for three to four days, the thing that Li Ai Guo worried about the most was that the traffickers would take risks.

Directly taking the people away from Tong City, getting rid of them first. Or maybe becoming desperate[1], and really doing as Old Liao had said, leaving the people that they had kidnapped, and then finding a place to hide and lie low.

After discussing back and forth, only two roads were available for them to take.

Getting the kidnappers’ real position from Old Liao’s mouth.

Number two, using a stupid way to search carpet-style, searching through every single household.

The activity for the second way was big, a little bit of carelessness would easily cause unease among the people, and it would also alert the enemy[2]. If they alerted the kidnappers, they would more probably show extreme behaviour.

Talking round and round, nobody had any good plan.

So they could only do as Song Bei and Captain Li had discussed, get some people to camouflage with civilian clothes, secretly inquire about the real situation, and pry to get news as unnoticeable as possible.

At the time when Bai Xia Xia had come in, their discussion was close to an end, and they had already arranged the team that would go search.

Li Ai Guo was currently asking some questions to Qin Xiao, telling him to try his best to remember the mountain road that he had treaded on, and to shrink Old Liao and the others’ range of activity as much as possible.

This group of people had long gone out of the safety net delimited by the base, and the probability of finding out the hiding place of the relics was not very high.

Saving people was important, the lost relics were also important.

Among them, gold and precious objects collected from the countryside were included, there were also those that had been swindled and cheated through multiple means.

These days, the museum of Tong City asked every day, there were also enthusiastic citizens that were concerned about the relics’ trails, reporters squatted outside of the bureau, wishing they could chase after Li Ai Guo’s butt.

The sub-bureau’s telephone was about to explode too.

Among the lost relics, there were two precious objects that were particularly important, the provincial museum[3] had also made a call to the head bureau, the head bureau pressed and urged them to get back the relics, and they even had to reduce the damage to the relics as much as possible.

My ass! They were all buried inside the big mountain! A group of inhumane bastards!

Two big mountains pressed on each side of Li Ai Guo’s shoulders, one was the weight of human lives, one was the pressure of public opinion, stifling Li Ai Guo to the point of almost not being able to breathe.

Translator’s comments:

Bai Xia Xia still forgets that she’s a cat, no need to feel ashamed, after all, no one knows that she’s a human inside.
