"Woof... stop knocking, stop knocking! I'm a Class I protected animal in Xia Country, give me some face!"
The chubby cat that barged into the headmaster's office just happened to run into the headmaster hosting Li Wenkang from the Agricultural Research Institute.
Li Wenkang, under the guise of tea, caught the fat cat by the ear with one hand, almost knocking it with a head full of bumps.
"What kind of face? Could it be that I'm grabbing your ear and knocking your head, and that's not enough face? Instead, you don't know your place at all."
"When I knock your head, you should obediently stick your butt out for me to kick."
Li Wenkang looked naturally justified and righteously scolded the fat cat for not having any sense.
Faced with the bandit-like honorary headmaster, the fat cat muttered a couple of sentences in its heart, thinking difficult words about power suppressing others, eventually writing letters to fill the complaint box, reporting to the central Security Bureau, and such.
"Alright, Old Li, just let it go!" Yang, who was nearly at the age of sixty, smiled and said, "Brother Cat usually does a lot of guilty things, but it never appears in front of me. Now it's come out, and it's barging in with a bold face; it must have something going on."
Yang could not hear the fat cat's language, but he had dealt with wild animals for most of his life.
Some deeply researched creatures, even if he didn't understand their language, Yang could read their thoughts from their expressions and body language.
The boldness with which the fat cat entered the door was entirely different from its usual guilty look when it sees him, and furthermore, it seemed proud, as if it had achieved something grand.
Thus, Yang concluded that the fat cat came to find him for a proper matter today, and it should be something concerning the college, and it is here to ask for a reward.
"Let's hear it then!" Li Wenkang said.
"I'm here to borrow the car keys. I want to use Principal Yang's annoying nature towards Spirit Beasts to trick the antelope..."
The fat cat spoke with grievance, recounting the events that occurred at the school early in the morning, and explained the ambush plan it had discussed with Master Fox.
Hearing this, Li Wenkang was stunned for a moment, acting as a translator, and opened his mouth to translate what the fat cat said to Principal Yang.
"The antelope... has returned?" Principal Yang made a hissing sound, as if sensing trouble.
Principal Yang looked at Li Wenkang.
"Give it the keys!" Li Wenkang thought for a moment before opening his mouth to suggest to Principal Yang.
"Alright." Principal Yang handed the keys over to the fat cat.
"Okay, okay, I'm off now," the fat cat said with a grin to Li Wenkang.
"Shoo, shoo."
Li Wenkang waved his hand, signaling for it to leave quickly and not to impede adult conversations here.
"Creak—"
The headmaster's office door deformed, producing an unusual sound during the slow opening and closing process. Upon hearing the noise, the fat cat cautiously extended its paw, tapping here and pinching there to correct the deformation. Confirming the repair was complete, it smoothly closed the office door.
The fat cat dashed away, running without looking back.
"Aren't you going to capture that antelope back? If Brother Cat faces it alone, I'm afraid it might not handle it. If it affects the university, won't it disrupt your scheme?" Principal Yang looked at Li Wenkang and said.
Li Wenkang smiled and shook his head, thinking about the protective Master Fox and vociferously said:
"I don't want to be hated by Spirit Beasts like you. The antelope situation will be handled by someone."
"Let's return to the previous topic! Tonight, we will secretly dispatch an action team into the school to retrieve all the ruin documents and backup records. Conveniently, we can use the school's usual practices to create a facade of weak defense."
"Although I understand your approach, can this really lure them out? It feels inappropriate." Principal Yang voiced his concerns and felt equally headache over the upcoming course arrangements.
After all, with the laboratory and teaching building being messed with by them, who knows how much good will remain.
"True advantage is not actual advantage. It's about making the other party feel they've gained a deal, so they'll believe missing this chance would mean losing billions," Li Wenkang didn't talk about the scheme but instead gave Principal Yang a vivid analogy.
"Luckily, classes haven't started yet; if you destroy the experimental field, the headmaster would tear us apart," Principal Yang sighed.
"What we do at the Security Bureau concerns safety, a single city or nation's gain or loss is trivial," Li Wenkang casually said, "They probably have Apostles; pinning an Apostle to the ground could at least extort $600 million and even allow learning from their biotechnology."
"Say nothing of two buildings; even ten can be earned back."
The code name [Apostle] from abroad refers to the Guardian Level Spirit Beasts or equally powerful Genetic Editors.
Thinking of the foreigners infiltrating Xia Country made Li Wenkang feel a thorn in his side; until he catches them, it's like having fleas crawling all over, making him itch unbearably.
And he came to Xinxing Agricultural Science College today precisely to settle this matter thoroughly.
......
"That was terrifying for a cat."
"Such a big Principal Li in the room, I almost thought he was going to chew my ear off!"
Fleeing to the headmaster's black car, the fat cat patted its chest full of lingering fear, making up its mind that for the next two months, it wouldn't step into the headmaster's office no matter what.
"You guys get in too, let's head back to base and call Master Fox."
"This time..."
"For my permanent position, I'll send that old cow to the retirement home no matter what!"
The fat cat beckoned its underlings to get in the car, with fierceness showing on its face, but since it's a panda, the human's perspective sees the fierceness like a panda yawning, adorably opening its mouth.
However.
No one could anticipate that the fat cat was seriously intent on it.
The contest for the permanent position is always brutal, and this fat cat hasn't even enjoyed two years yet, the old cow better not try to snatch it!
"Woof..."
Two panda underlings crowded in the back seat, with a bit of distaste on their faces.
They could handle poop.
But having poop all over them was a first-time experience.
Walking, bird droppings fell from the sky, and without wipers, sometimes they could barely see the road.
Returning from the highway to the ecological preservation base, the fat cat ordered the underlings to wait at home, waiting to return triumphantly, ramming the antelope repeatedly into the ground to create friction and heat.
"Come on, come on!"
The fat cat gripped the steering wheel with its left hand, idling on the mountain roads, and its right hand dialed the phone number Master Fox had given it earlier, wearing a stern expression.
"Beep beep beep..."
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not reachable..."
Hearing the prompt from the speaker, the fat cat driving the headmaster's black administrative car showed surprise, hanging up and trying to call Master Fox again.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not reachable..."
"Ssss—"
Instantly, the fat cat felt a chill run from its skin straight to the top of its head, making every hair stand upright.
"No way, Bro? You said we'd be brothers, and now you tell me you can't be reached?"
The fat cat, feeling a shiver, reached out to turn off the seat ventilation blowing fiercely on its butt.
Before, it always traveled in old small cars or minivans when going out to crash events; there was never such a high-end car feature, blowing its butt icy cold, feeling uncomfortable.
