"Come over quickly, look at what I found." Qin Xulan, who was playing with his phone on the set of Divine Dog, suddenly called out excitedly.

"What's the big fuss about?" Jin Shijia said discontentedly.

"Didn't Jingge take another cat to replace Xiaoli to participate in the pet exhibition? Someone uploaded a video to the internet."

"So what, we've seen it before," Liu Qian said.

"Take a look first." Qin Xulan turned his phone around to face everyone and played the video. The video was shot by a spectator with a phone, not only was it unclear, but it also wobbled, and was mixed with screams and discussions. However, one could still see the tabby cat playing the electronic keyboard, and faintly hear the melody of "Jingle Bells."

"..." Guo Biting, Jin Shijia, Liu Qian, and others were stunned. Acrobatic performances were barely acceptable, and giving flowers to people was also barely acceptable, but a cat playing the piano was too shocking.

"Call Su Jing quickly, this performance must be in the show, and we can increase the pay." Director Wang Lie said excitedly. Even with his toes, he could imagine how many cat lovers this scene would attract if it appeared in the show.

At the pet exhibition venue, A Li had already finished performing and was being evaluated by the judges. However, the atmosphere in the venue was still extremely enthusiastic, with people still discussing what they had just seen. The five judges, including Cen Yin, were increasingly shocked. This cat was not only incredibly smart and could play the electronic keyboard, but its appearance was also flawless, whether in terms of body shape, fur color, eyes, etc. If this cat were to be sold, it would definitely fetch a sky-high price.

"Mr. Su, is this really a tabby cat?" After the inspection, Cen Yin felt that this cat was indeed different from a leopard cat, but more like a clouded leopard rather than a tabby cat.

"It's really a tabby cat." Su Jing was speechless. How many times had he been asked this question? If it weren't for the fact that real leopard cats were protected animals and he was afraid of being reported, he wouldn't bother to explain.

In the end, A Li undoubtedly won the championship of the competition. Xiaoli became the center of attention, and Perfect Pet Paradise also gained a great reputation.

Many people came over to surround Su Jing and Zhu Jianhua, asking if Xiaoli was for sale, but Su Jing and Zhu Jianhua refused one by one. Those people were not discouraged; each one gave Su Jing a business card, and in the end, Su Jing's pockets were full of business cards.

Cen Yin, the lean old man, the burly man, and others became even more enthusiastic towards Su Jing. Since Su Jing owned the Light Goddess Butterfly and a cat that could play the piano, he might be a super collector, and he might have other rare pets.

Su Jing and Zhu Jianhua finally managed to get away from the crowd and returned to the Perfect Pet Paradise booth. Since Xiaoli and the Light Goddess Butterfly were taken away, there weren't many people at the booth. Only a somewhat overweight young man was staring at the cricket in the display cage. Hearing the footsteps, the overweight young man turned around and faced Su Jing and Zhu Jianhua, and all three of them showed a look of surprise.

"Old Peng, what are you doing here?" Zhu Jianhua and Su Jing said in unison. This overweight young man was Peng Ming, a junior and senior high school classmate of Su Jing and Zhu Jianhua. The three of them had a good relationship, and once, when Su Jing got into trouble with some small hooligans, the three of them fought together.

"I have to accompany a boss tomorrow, and that boss likes cricket fighting. I know nothing about it, so I came to the pet exhibition to check it out. Jianhua works at Perfect Pet Paradise, so it's normal for him to be here, but why are you here, A Jing?" Peng Ming said.

"I came with Jianhua." Su Jing said.

"Looking for crickets at a pet exhibition, you're as crazy as A Jing." Zhu Jianhua laughed.

"How can I be crazy? Your Perfect Pet Paradise is exhibiting a cricket." Peng Ming pointed to the cricket in the jar.

"That's why you're as crazy as A Jing. This cricket belongs to A Jing. I think this is the only cricket in the entire pet exhibition. If you want to find crickets, you should go to the flower and bird market." Zhu Jianhua was speechless. Su Jing and Peng Ming were really a pair of extremes.

"Is this A Jing's? A Jing, why are you playing with crickets? Can this cricket fight?" Peng Ming asked.

"I'm not sure. I haven't had it fight before. I once got a few crickets, but they scared me away before I could fight them." Su Jing said.

"Such a dominant one, it must be good at fighting." Peng Ming, who clearly didn't know much about crickets, said casually. The reason he liked this cricket was not based on any theory, but simply because it looked very powerful.

"Since you're going to accompany the boss in cricket fighting, if you like this cricket, you can take it." Su Jing said.

"Really? You've raised it so well and brought it to the pet exhibition. Isn't this your treasure? What if it gets hurt?" Peng Ming was a bit hesitant. In his view, crickets were just insects, but he knew that people who played with crickets treated them as treasures.

"It's just an insect, no treasure." Su Jing smiled.

"Then I'll borrow it without being polite. I'll return it after the fight." Peng Ming felt relieved and said, "It's rare for us three to reunite. Let's have lunch together, and I'll treat you."

"Sure." Zhu Jianhua and Su Jing naturally didn't refuse. However, at this moment, Su Jing's phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, it was actually Captain Wang Xiao, the special police captain who caught the robbers last time.

"Hello, Captain Wang." Su Jing answered the call.

"A Jing, can I borrow your dog for a bit?" Wang Xiao's voice was somewhat anxious. After the last case of catching the robbers, he had asked Su Jing if he could buy the dog, but unfortunately, Su Jing's price was too high for the police station to afford. Then he asked if Su Jing could help train police dogs, but Su Jing's price was even higher, leaving the police with no choice but to give up.

"..." Su Jing was a bit hesitant. He knew without thinking that Wang Xiao was borrowing the dog for a case. Although assisting the police in a case was a good thing, it was dangerous for the dog. Last time, A Liu was stabbed.

"This time it's really urgent. Four people have been kidnapped, and the criminals are extremely vicious. They have already cut off one of the hostages' ears and two fingers. Every moment of delay increases the danger for those four people." Wang Xiao said with a hint of pleading.

"Alright, I'm not at home right now, I'll go back immediately." Su Jing, hearing how serious the situation was, couldn't refuse.

"Then I'll wait for you at your doorstep." Wang Xiao said with surprise.

"Okay." Su Jing hung up the phone.

"What's up, something urgent?" Zhu Jianhua and Peng Ming could tell from Su Jing's expression that something urgent had come up.

"Very urgent." Su Jing nodded.

"Do you need help?" Zhu Jianhua and Peng Ming said in unison.

"No need." Su Jing shook his head.

"Then go ahead and take care of it. We'll meet up another day." Peng Ming said.

"Alright, I'll go first." Su Jing handed the cricket to Peng Ming and then drove home with the tabby cat and the Light Goddess Butterfly. When he got home, he saw Wang Xiao and two police officers waiting at the gate of the yard.
