Chapter 296

During lunch time, Pei Jin took the time to dial the landline number at home.

He knew that Qiao Wei was now a cat and couldn't talk to him on the phone, but at least he could greet her and tell her to remember to eat the meals he had prepared to keep warm before going to work.

It's also good to hear her "meow meow" response.

Pei Jin couldn't help but want to laugh when she thought of the cat jumping up on the counter and hugging the receiver with her butt pouted.

"Beep, beep, beep—"

The phone rang and rang, but no cat answered.

Is this little lazy cat still sleeping late?
Pei Jin put away her phone with some disappointment, and was so overwhelmed by the meal.

"Pei Gong, the chairman took a set of materials and put them in your office, saying that you will work hard and work overtime today, and send the report to the legal department." A colleague came over with a message.

Pei Jin nodded, "Got it."

In the past, he had worked overtime a lot, and many times he even offered to work overtime to complete a week's workload ahead of schedule.

But never before had he been so impatient to skip work and go home.

Throughout the afternoon, Pei Jin seemed restless, often picking up her phone in the middle of work to check if there were any missed calls.

He made more than a dozen phone calls back and forth, but no one, no, no cat answered.

Putting away the phone, Pei Jin gritted her teeth, took the documents and drove home.

Working overtime, working overtime in the company is the same as working overtime at home, the important thing is the result.

Pei Jin walked out of the elevator in the community and faced her own door, suddenly feeling a little strange.

The door was still the same door, without the slightest sign of being pried open or damaged, but he just had an inexplicable intuition that his territory had been violated.

Pei Jin almost rushed over and swiped her fingerprints to open the door.

The door opened.

The room was clean and there was no trace of outsiders visiting.

but……

Pei Jin anxiously turned the house upside down.

However, his cat was gone.

"Meatball, meatball?"

Pei Jin called and searched back and forth.

He didn't want to miss any corner that might accommodate a kitten.

In the cabinet, in the washing machine, in the refrigerator, in the toilet tank...

All possible and impossible places were found by him over and over again.

no cats.

With the figure of a cat, she absolutely cannot open the door and walk out.

His house was on the [-]th floor, and she couldn't be naughty enough to jump out of the window.

She seemed to disappear from a closed space out of thin air.

Pei Jin wanted to call the police, but she picked up the phone and put it down again.

What can the police say?
Said he lost a cat?

Or did he lose someone who was not in the domestic household registration system at all?
What about posting a bounty announcement?
How should he explain the identity of this mysterious abnormal creature cat?
Sure enough, when Pei Jin asked someone to inquire, the other party persuaded him, a cat, if you lose it, you lose it, there are so many puppet cats in the world, just give him one later.

Yes, there are many puppet cats in the world, and there are cuter and cuter cats everywhere.

But none of them can turn into \/human form like her.

Even if there is a second one that becomes fine, it is no longer his meatball.

She is willful and mischievous, eccentric, cruel and domineering. She has many, many shortcomings, but he just likes her for being petty.

Pei Jin's heart ached, she rushed to the property security post, claiming that the home had been stolen, and asked to check the surveillance video of the corridor.

The security called up the video and fast forwarded to check it out.

Strangely, during the three hours between ten o'clock in the morning and one o'clock in the noon, the signal of the surveillance video on the [-]th floor was very poor, and snowflakes appeared at every turn.

"It seems that I can't see it very clearly." The security guard pointed to the surveillance video and said. "However, at least you can be sure that no one has been to your house."

Pei Jin pursed her lips and said nothing.

Yes, he did not see anyone coming in or out of his house.

However, he didn't see the cat coming in and out either!
She is a big live cat, so she can't just disappear for no reason, right?
"Please adjust the surveillance video outside the building," he said.

While checking the surveillance video from [-] am to [-] noon, Pei Jin kept making phone calls at home.

He wished desperately that this was just a joke played by the naughty cat.

Pray she jumped out triumphantly, meow meow laughing at his gaffe.

Although this joke is not funny at all, it is better than her disappearing out of thin air.

To his disappointment, the cat never answered the phone.

"Wait." Pei Jin kept listening to the phone, and suddenly pointed to a certain surveillance video on the computer screen. "Bring this up and see."

The image is blurred after zooming in.

But Pei Jin still recognized it. At 55:[-], on the outer floor of the building, a long-haired girl wearing a peaked cap sneaked into the building where he lived.

Pei Jin called up the independent surveillance videos of all floors within 10 minutes, none of which showed her walking out of the elevator.

This person, like a drop of water falling into the sea, disappeared completely.

Pei Jin's heart was beating violently, and she hurriedly went back to watch the monitoring of the common area outside the building.

At one past three, the mysterious girl came out of the building.

During this period, there was no sign of her in the elevator room and corridor monitoring on every floor of this building!

It's as if...

The surveillance video showed that there was no one in the elevator.

But when the elevator door opened on the first floor, someone still came out of the elevator.

This phenomenon is not unnatural!
What made Pei Jin even more concerned was that he was very familiar with this girl's back, which was exactly the same as the fleshy figure he had been with these days and nights.

No, that couldn't be meatballs.

So, it can only be...

Pei Jin called the HR Department and asked about today's leave filing. From a series of lists, he heard the name he cared about.

"... Mr. Pei, your assistant Xiao Zhang, oh, and the chairman's newly recruited secretary Jia Qiaowei."

Secretary Jia.

Pei Jin's eyes were deep.

Exactly the same appearance, similar name, and asking for leave for no reason appeared near his home, and his meat ball disappeared at this time.

He didn't believe it was a coincidence.

After leaving the security room, Pei Jin went home and searched again, but still found nothing.

What can he do?
This situation has obviously exceeded the comprehension of an ordinary person without supernatural powers.

Routuan's identity must not be exposed.

But where is she?
Is she okay?

Pei Jin sat quietly in the dark for a while, then suddenly unlocked the phone and made a call.

"Are you free? Have a meal together?"

Ten minutes later, Pei Jin was sitting in an elegantly decorated restaurant, her long eyelashes were drooping, and she was carelessly stirring the hot coffee with a small spoon.

"Sorry, I'm late, did I keep you waiting?"

There was an extra shadow in front of him, Pei Jin raised his eyes, but there was no smile in his eyes. "It's okay, I just arrived too."
