Chapter 18

口< @@@@@@@ Save me!"

"Meow~"

Another one?

From Ma Han: "-O-~~~~~~~~~ Help!!"

Zhan Zhao looked rather baffled by the messages, "What on earth are they trying to say?"

Bai Yutang said with a sigh, "I think I'd better speed up."

When the people who were done puking came out from the washroom, they were greeted with the sight of Bai Jintang sitting on a large suitcase, staring into space.

Zhao Hu approached him enthusiastically and offered, "Bro, why don't you wait inside? I'll help you carry your luggage in."

Bai Jintang got up and Zhao Hu reached for the biggest suitcase.He couldn't lift it with one hand… With both hands… He still couldn't do it.

"I'll handle this one. How 'bout you help me with the smaller one?" With that, Bai Jintang easily lifted the largest suitcase with one hand.

……

"Meow~"

Zhao Hu's text: " @口@……Why??"

"What do you think happened?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously as he read through these short messages.

"Hold on tight, Kitty!" and Bai Yutang stepped on the gas pedal.

……

Zhao Hu, who took a hit to his pride, picked up the smaller baggage which was a black rectangular box with some holes on it.

Suddenly, the box moved by itself.

??

Zhao Hu thought it was weird. What was inside? Taking a closer look… there seems to be a latch and he reached out open it…

With a loud bang, a ball of fluff came flying out.

"AaaAaaah!!"

Following Zhao Hu's scream, everyone was greeted with the sight of a raccoon-like creature bursting out from the box.

"Catch it!" Bai Jintang shouted as he rushed out.

All they could say was, Bai Jintang was indeed Bai Yutang's older brother, or maybe he's just used to being in charge. With one order, everyone, except Gongsun, went running after the "raccoon".

(lilies: the shining? maybe?)

"Get out, Xiao Zhao!" Bai Jintang trapped Bai Yutang in the corner of the lift while making a small path for Zhan Zhao to leave.

Zhan Zhao ran out with the cat in hand, but not before pressing the close button and saying, "Da Ge! I'll close the door for you!"

"Cat! Don't go! AAAaaaaAAAh!" As the elevator doors shut, Bai Yutang's screams reverberated throughout the entire building.

While the rest of the S.C.I. team froze in place, Gongsun leaned against the door to the autopsy room as he ate the last piece of ribs.

Zhan Zhao caressed the cat while the screams in the elevator continued. He felt a little guilty about it…

"Rest in peace, Mouse."

In the Commissioner's Office, Bao Zheng tried to ease his furrowed brows as he shook his head in resignation. He then opened a drawer from his desk.

In the empty drawer, there was only one old picture frame.

Bao Zheng lit a cigarette as he lifted the picture to gaze at it.

In the midst of the smoke, four young men smiled brightly in the photo.
