Chapter 41: Yes, Your Majesty

What can possibly rival the “hehe”?

Faced with this duplicated word that could convey nothing but malice, even Mu Yanxiao and the two middle-aged women, who weren’t familiar with newer slang, immediately grasped the true meaning behind the “hehe.”

“Who is it? Don’t play tricks on me!!”

Zhang Ya, clearly less tolerant than her older sister, immediately jumped to her feet upon hearing the “hehe.” She looked around the room for a long while before finally glaring at Mu One and snapping, “Who gave you the nerve to interrupt while your master is speaking?!”

Mu One, who had been caught in the crossfire, glanced at the boss’s beloved pet lounging on the sofa and watching the show with half-lidded eyes. He couldn’t help feeling a faint sense of exasperation. Even so, the loyal subordinate Mu One didn’t betray his boss’s beloved pet cat.

“I’m talking to you!”

Zhang Ya was furious and was about to say more when the previously domineering voice suddenly changed. A soft, delicate voice, yet one that was unhurried and righteous, rang out.

“Some people, you know, it’s one thing to be brainless, but at least don’t come out and embarrass yourself. If you stay at home, you won’t lose too much face. But no, none of them can ever sit still. They just have to come out and make a fuss~ Ah, every time they make our family watch this show, it’s so boring. Tsk, tsk, tsk, can’t we get someone a little more capable? People like this deserve to go bankrupt and be driven out of the palace~”

Young Master Mu’s lips twitched violently. There was even a eunuch voice! Had Albert watched too many brainless palace-intrigue dramas?!

By this point, even though Zhang Ya had looked left and right without finding the culprit, her older sister, Zhang Shan, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa and observing everything, finally noticed the large cat sitting opposite them. It looked perfectly normal, but had actually been messing with them the entire time.

“Yanxiao, what kind of trick are you pulling? What’s that cat of yours playing with?” Although Zhang Shan had noticed that something was off about Linlin, by normal human logic, no matter how extraordinary a cat was, there was no way he could speak human language.

Mu Yanxiao didn’t answer. Instead, he reached out and pulled his little lynx into his arms. At that moment, Zhang Shan suddenly saw the large cat widen his crystal-clear, glass-bead-like eyes at her and open his tiny… blood-filled mouth lined with sharp teeth.

The visual wasn’t particularly frightening, but if the sight wasn’t scary enough, the voice could certainly make up for it!

“Guess~ If you guess right, we’ll reward you. If you guess wrong, we’ll drag you out and give you a hundred strokes~”

Zhang Shan, “…” She sucked in a sharp breath.

At the same time, Zhang Ya instantly retreated several steps until she was behind Mu One and screamed, “A-a spirit!!”

Lin You, the Chief Eunuch, was extremely displeased by this. He immediately whipped his head around and let out a furious meow at Zhang Ya!

“How dare you! You actually called us a spirit? If we’re a spirit, then wouldn’t you be a wicked ghost who deserves to go to hell? You’ve lost all conscience and committed every evil under the sun! Ptooey~ Just talking about it dirties our mouth, ahhh~”

“A-a talking cat! I-I saw a talking cat!” Zhang Ya’s face went pale. She immediately reached for her phone to call the police.

Only then did Young Master Mu finally deign to speak. “Aunt, can you calm down? Look and listen carefully. If the Linlin in my arms was really a spirit, would you still be alive?”

After hearing this, Zhang Ya’s face slowly went from white to red. Frowning, she approached the little lynx suspiciously, intending to examine him carefully. But the disgruntled Lin You immediately pounced on her and scratched her face.

“Ahhh—!! You little beast!!”

Zhang Ya screamed and clutched her bleeding cheek.

Lin You rolled his eyes and curled back into his blind master’s arms. “You got hurt by a beast? Doesn’t that mean you’re even worse than a beast?”

This time, Zhang Shan finally understood. When she heard the cat speaking, she could also hear several meows. Although the meows sounded somewhat strange, she had definitely heard them. Then, about two or three seconds later, the words she had just heard came from the large cat’s neck.

“What an ingenious little device.” Zhang Shan raised an eyebrow. “But playing tricks like this isn’t very becoming. Yanxiao, since you’re letting your cat make a fuss, I’ll get straight to the point. What do you think of your aunt’s proposal just now? If you’re willing, we can meet at Wirth Hotel three days from now.”

Mu Yanxiao scoffed. “Aunt, my thoughts are the same as what my Linlin just said. Even brothers keep clear accounts, let alone cousins. As for Grandfather’s inheritance, you didn’t have the ability to take it back then, so you have even less right to use it as a reason for me to compromise now. Otherwise, what do you two aunts think happened to my eyes?”

“What do you mean?! Are you trying to say you turned out this way because of my A’he?” Zhang Ya covered her face and sneered. “Don’t be ridiculous. There isn’t a more obedient child in the world than my A’he.”

“And since you’re unwilling to reconcile with us properly, fine. Then you probably don’t want your parents’ belongings either. It was such a hassle for me to preserve them for so long. I might as well throw them all into the sea.”

After saying this, Zhang Ya turned to leave. As she expected, Mu Yanxiao’s voice rang out behind her.

“Aunt, what did you just say?” Mu Yanxiao’s expression turned grim. “How do you have my parents’ belongings?”

He had been ten when his parents died. He and his grandfather had personally gone through their belongings, and he was certain nothing had been left behind. So what exactly did Zhang Ya mean?

Seeing Mu Yanxiao’s expression finally change, Zhang Ya smiled smugly. “I’m her little sister. Why can’t I have them? Anyway, I’ll make myself clear: if you still want your parents’ belongings, then go to Wirth Hotel three days from now. If you’d rather let those things sink into the sea, there’s nothing I can do.”

Mu Yanxiao’s expression was unreadable as he stroked Lin You’s warm fur. “Are you threatening me?”

Zhang Ya chuckled. “How would I dare threaten Young Master Mu? I’m merely reminding you. And one more reminder: have the transfer contract ready when the time comes.”

Afterward, Zhang Ya arrogantly left with six scratches across her face. Zhang Shan glanced at the contemplative Mu Yanxiao and said earnestly, “Although her method was a little excessive, she was ultimately thinking of you, wasn’t she? Your parents’ belongings must be the most important thing. Money is merely something outside the body. You can always earn it again.”

Mu Yanxiao looked up and smiled coldly. “No need for you to concern yourself with it, Aunt. Goodbye.”

Zhang Shan wasn’t annoyed. After all, they would be the ones to benefit in the end, wouldn’t they? Zhang Ya and her had already agreed to split the recovered assets evenly between the Zheng and Chen families. Besides, even if Mu Yanxiao wanted revenge later, he would only target Zhang Ya and the Chen Family. It would have nothing to do with her or the Zheng Family—after all, she had merely come up with this brilliant idea.

The clever ones were the ones who emerged victorious in the end.

Mu Yanxiao and Lin You didn’t start talking until ten minutes after Zhang Ya and Zhang Shan had left. To maintain a serious atmosphere, Lin You even specially switched his voice to the gentle, jade-like one. In his opinion, this voice sounded a lot like his own.

“Linlin. Do you think they’re lying to me, or do they really have my parents’ belongings?” Mu Yanxiao asked quietly.

Lin You nestled in his blind master’s arms, twitched his ears, then rested his head on his two chubby paws. “Actually, whether they really have your parents’ belongings or not, the important thing is that if there’s something you want, you have to get your paws on it. And once the meat is in your mouth, you absolutely can’t let someone else have it!”

Mu Yanxiao couldn’t help laughing when he heard this. Sure enough, no matter what form he took, his little one always knew how to grasp the key point and always understood what he truly wanted to do.

“Linlin is right. Whether they have those things or not, once something is in my hands, there’s no possibility of giving it to someone else.” Mu Yanxiao gave a cold laugh. “Besides, I never accept threats.”

And so, the master and pet casually yet seriously decided what they would do three days later. Mu Yanxiao also had Mu One notify Mu Three and the others to investigate his parents’ belongings over the next three days. Although Mu Yanxiao knew very well that the truth might not come to light within three days, as long as it was the truth, he was willing to wait however long it took—after all, a gentleman’s revenge is never too late.

Boss Mu was quite calm about what would happen three days from now, but Young Master Lin You had no intention of simply waiting around for the next three days like his blind master. If this had happened before he possessed an animal and learned to understand animal speech, he might have had no choice but to use illegal “spiritual drugs” on humans. But now, things were completely different!!

He, Lin You the Lynx, the Animal Overlord, could absolutely send countless spies to monitor and gather intelligence on those two aunts in a matter of minutes! Wasn’t that freaking awesome? So, after dinner, Lin You the little lynx walked arrogantly into the Mu Family’s garden “farmhouse” courtyard, tail held high, pointed ears twitching, paws moving in elegant feline steps. Then, under Young Master Mu’s puzzled and questioning gaze, he arched his body, raised his head, and let out several loud howls.

The Mu Family’s villa was in the suburbs, and by nearly eight in the evening, it was already dark. Accompanied by that domineering feline howl, the night suddenly seemed to take on an ominous, murderous air. Then, a scene that made the scalps of Mu One through Mu Five tingle slowly unfolded before their eyes. Mu Five even took several steps backward, barely stopping himself from raising his submachine gun and spraying bullets at the creatures.

“Meowww~!”

At the sound of the meow, hundreds of rats opposite them straightened up excitedly, their beady, shifty eyes fixed on Lin You as they waited for their king to give the order.
