On the way home!
A system notification sounded in Fang Ping's mind once again.
...
Ding!
Host has completed a hidden mission: assisted a Detective in capturing a Fugitive.
Reward: 100 Evolution Points and one Lord Card.
Lord Card has been placed in the Host's system space and can be accessed at any time.
...
Fang Ping had received yet another hidden mission reward.
Time passed quickly!
The next day had arrived!
Zhou's Dad came to his daughter's home, but he didn't look too pleased.
Last night, he had watched the Pet Reality Show.
And he noticed something.
That little brat could do everything—open doors, use the elevator.
But yesterday, he had done all those things himself.
The Production Crew responsible for the hidden filming had also arrived. Seeing Zhou's Dad's expression, they sensibly kept their distance.
Of course!
They still had to go into the apartment to turn on the indoor livestream cameras.
Zhou's Dad ignored the staff. He knocked on the door heavily.
There was no response from inside.
"I know you can open the door. I saw it on the show."
Zhou's Dad raised his voice.
Still no response from inside.
"I'm taking you out for breakfast. If you don't open the door, the food will be gone."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.
Zhou's Dad paused.
As expected!
A little bribery always works!
A pair of cat ears poked out from inside, followed by a cat head.
The small cat head turned, scanning the crowd outside.
Alright then!
The Pet Reality Show had started again.
Fang Ping stepped aside to make way.
Zhou's Dad entered first.
The Production Crew followed, turned on the livestream cameras, then left the apartment.
Their job was to remain hidden—they were never to appear on camera.
In the Live Streaming Room, viewers finally saw Fang Ping again.
...
"Good morning, Lord."
"Lord, we meet again."
"Peeking in to see Lord on my way to work."
"Already working, but still had to come see Lord."
...
Since yesterday's Pet Reality Show, Fang Ping's viewer count had remained high. His popularity was soaring.
After all, no one had ever seen such a clever cat.
As everyone put it—this cat had become enlightened.
It was no surprise that the audience was so enthusiastic to see Fang Ping again.
Of course!
Fang Ping couldn't see their comments.
Even if he could, he wouldn't react to them.
Zhou's Dad didn't stay in the room long before taking Fang Ping away.
Since he had promised to take Fang Ping for breakfast, he had to keep his word. Otherwise, this cat would surely hold a grudge.
Zhou's Dad had seen what Fang Ping did to those who crossed him—especially that woman on the bus.
Thinking about what she stepped on still gave Zhou's Dad the chills. Better not mess with this cat.
Cats are petty animals.
He reminded himself.
Zhou's Dad hadn't eaten breakfast either. He planned to take Lord for breakfast, then drop him off at the hospital with Zhou Chenchen.
Last night, Zhou Chenchen had wanted Fang Ping to stay, but he hadn't agreed. He could tell his daughter had been a bit disappointed.
But today, with Fang Ping spending the day with Zhou Chenchen, she'd definitely be happy to see Lord.
Zhou's Dad had it all planned out. He didn't ask for Fang Ping's opinion.
Even though this cat clearly had a mind of his own, he couldn't talk—so Zhou's Dad just assumed that meant agreement.
Standing in the elevator, Fang Ping glanced at Zhou's Dad, who was a little distracted and a bit smug. The Cameraman behind them said nothing.
Zhou's Dad didn't react for a long time, so Fang Ping raised a front paw and tapped him.
Zhou's Dad snapped out of it and looked down at Fang Ping.
Fang Ping didn't look back—he raised his head to stare at the elevator buttons.
His meaning was clear.
Zhou's Dad finally noticed that the elevator hadn't moved—it was still on the ninth floor.
"Aren't you the one who can press the elevator?"
"You press it this time!"
Zhou's Dad wanted Fang Ping to do the honors. He wanted to enjoy Lord's service for once.
Fang Ping curled his tail and wore a confused expression.
What did you say?
I don't understand human language!
Zhou's Dad's face darkened. This little brat was playing dumb again.
Fang Ping didn't care.
If you won't press it, we'll just stand here in the elevator.
In the end!
Zhou's Dad admitted defeat and pressed the button.
He couldn't outlast Fang Ping in a battle of patience.
In the Live Streaming Room, the viewers burst into laughter again.
...
"I can tell—Lord is totally destined to be his father-in-law's nemesis."
"Dear father-in-law, allow your son-in-law to come save you."
"Lord, give my father-in-law some face, will you?"
"Lord: Did I ask for face?"
...
Outside the Residential Complex, the Female Secretary was already standing next to the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Seeing her, Fang Ping immediately darted over, leaving Zhou's Dad behind.
The Female Secretary crouched down with a smile, stroking Fang Ping's little cat head.
She had started to like this cat—although the cat seemed more interested in her long legs.
Zhou's Dad was used to it by now.
If this little brat were a man, he would have beaten him to death already.
But now!
He was a cat!
So there was no point getting mad.
Everyone got in the car—same seating as yesterday.
Zhou's Dad didn't go to the same restaurant as yesterday—it wasn't a place for breakfast.
Nor did he go to any big restaurants. Instead, he headed to an old street.
Back before he struck it rich, Zhou's Dad often had breakfast there.
To him, it was a place full of memories and real local flavor.
He loved the atmosphere, so much so that he parked his car farther away.
Zhou's Dad took Fang Ping there alone. The Female Secretary and bodyguards didn't follow.
Of course!
Some bodyguards would be watching from the shadows.
The hidden Cameraman was also following at a distance, using concealed equipment so no one would know he was filming.
In the Live Streaming Room, viewers were sighing emotionally.
...
"Isn't Lord's father-in-law super rich? And yet he's bringing Lord here for breakfast?"
"You don't get it. This is how you stay grounded."
"Some of these breakfast joints are amazing—old family-run places with decades of history."
"You're making me hungry. Too bad we don't have a street like this."
"Most of them have been torn down. Old streets like this are getting rare."
...
Amid the viewers' chatter!
Zhou's Dad brought Fang Ping to a breakfast restaurant!
And sat down!
