13: Chapter 13 The Cat Reveals Shocking News

Lin Baixuan had never seen such a scene before and was instantly stunned in place.

Her pale little face was full of terror.

Just as the knife was about to strike, a shadow rushed over quickly and kicked the man squarely in the lower back!

The man's body couldn't help but topple to the side.

Lin Xiao then knocked the knife out of the man's hand with lightning speed and pinned him firmly to the ground.

He grabbed a roll of bandages from the nurse's station and deftly tied the man's hands behind his back.

"Let go of me! I want to kill her!"

The man continued to struggle and clamor incessantly.

Finding it annoying, Lin Xiao grabbed a pack of gauze and stuffed it into the man's mouth.

After resolving everything, he clapped his hands, walked up to Lin Baixuan, and asked with concern: "Second Sister, are you okay?"

"I-I'm fine."

Lin Baixuan took a deep breath, struggling to calm her emotions.

More than fear, she was shocked by her younger brother's fighting skills.

Against a knife-wielding maniac like that, even professionals wouldn't dare act rashly.

Yet Lin Xiao had kicked the man flying straight away.

And that technique for tying someone up—it was clearly that of an experienced hand.

Could this guy have been involved in some strange business in the past?

Lin Baixuan's thoughts wandered involuntarily.

When she realized this, she immediately shook her head.

It seems her mental state really has been having problems lately.

Seeing that Lin Baixuan was fine, Lin Xiao also slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The bloody disaster should be resolved.

Lin Baixuan felt a bit of a headache.

Although she was very grateful for Lin Xiao's life-saving grace, this was her workplace after all; what was the meaning of having someone always following behind her?

After thinking it over, she took out her phone, transferred one million to Lin Xiao, and made an excuse: "Thank you for today. I really should treat you to a meal, but I'm just too busy with work. Take this money and go buy yourself something good to eat."

"Oh, alright then."

How could Lin Xiao not see that Lin Baixuan still didn't like him?

Just as he saw the police arriving, he waved his hand and said goodbye to Lin Baixuan.

After the farce was handled, Lin Baixuan finally had the opportunity to speak with the psychiatry professor.

She explained the recent situation to Professor Song, especially regarding the inner voices she had been hearing.

After careful consideration, Professor Song advised: "Baixuan, I think you've just been under too much work pressure lately and are too tired. If possible, I suggest you take some time off to rest."

Lin Baixuan had indeed been very tired lately.

With non-stop surgeries every day and having to guide interns, she was busy to the point of being overwhelmed.

Coupled with the incident with the mental patient causing trouble today, she had developed a slight aversion to work.

It just so happened that a colleague who had previously taken leave was returning to work, so if she applied for annual leave to rest for a while, the leadership would likely approve it.

Professor Song also put in a good word for Lin Baixuan at the Hospital, and the leadership agreed to let Lin Baixuan start her leave from today.

Lin Baixuan immediately felt a weight off her shoulders and drove away from the Hospital.

On the way home, she saw Lin Xiao again.

At this moment, Lin Xiao was riding a shared bike, parked leisurely beside the park, watching a group of old men walking their caged birds.

Lin Baixuan didn't know what came over her, but she was suddenly curious about Lin Xiao's behavior, so she parked her car on the side of the road and watched Lin Xiao quietly.

Before long, she saw a beautiful woman walk over to Lin Xiao.

She was holding her phone, seemingly asking for Lin Xiao's contact information.

But Lin Xiao just waved his hand and didn't give it to her.

"Heh, he actually refused."

Lin Baixuan smiled with some disdain, unable to help but feel that Lin Xiao was putting on an act.

At this moment, a stray cat walked to Lin Xiao's feet, rubbing back and forth.

Lin Xiao laughed: "You little guy, didn't I just feed you a ham sausage? Why are you back again?"

The stray cat meowed twice, seemingly remembering something, and intended to go rub against someone else.

"Hey, hey, your vigilance is too poor. If you keep going like this, be careful of getting snatched away and having your balls cut off!"

Lin Xiao warned.

The stray cat froze, and weakly lowered its head to glance at its own butt.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but it felt like its balls were a bit chilly.

Lin Xiao was amused by the stray cat's appearance, crouched down, and gently stroked the cat's head: "Getting them cut is fine too; without worldly desires in the future, you can focus on eating!"

The stray cat meowed a few times unhappily, expressing its dissatisfaction and defense of its balls.

Since transmigrating, Lin Xiao had discovered he could communicate with animals.

According to his guess, perhaps it was because he had established a connection with this space that was different from ordinary people during the transmigration, which gave him this ability.

Lin Baixuan watched Lin Xiao and the stray cat exchanging words from a distance, unable to help but feel curious.

Logically speaking, these stray cats were very wary of people.

But looking at Lin Xiao, this stray cat was not only unafraid of him but was actually chatting with him.

Can they really understand each other?

Why does it feel like, by comparison, Lin Xiao is the one who seems to have a mental illness?

Lin Baixuan discovered that she had once again had such an inexplicable thought, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

How bored must she be to be watching Lin Xiao tease a cat here?

She immediately started the car, intending to leave.

But right at this moment, she suddenly heard Lin Xiao's voice again.

[What? Dismemberment?]

[My god, does it have to be this terrifying?]

Lin Baixuan was also stunned, turned her head to look at Lin Xiao, and discovered that Lin Xiao had already followed the stray cat toward a secluded area of the park.

Could it be that Lin Xiao really got some news from the stray cat?

Although Lin Baixuan felt this was completely absurd, she still followed secretly.

At this moment, Lin Xiao's heart was also very panicked.

He even suspected whether his understanding of cat language was flawed.

Otherwise, how could he have received news about dismemberment from the cat?

However, he still couldn't rest easy, so he just followed the stray cat all the way toward the secluded area.

From afar, he smelled a foul odor, and a strange fear rose in his heart.

He had read popular science articles before, which said that this kind of fear was a subconscious reaction of humans to the smell of rotting human corpses, meant to avoid danger.

But now, he had no choice but to head towards the danger.

Before long, he saw seven or eight stray cats surrounding something and gnawing on it.

Walking closer, he discovered that it was a few black plastic bags.

The bags had already been bitten open by the stray cats, revealing the shredded meat inside.
