Reborn into a Hamster for 233 Days

CHAPTER 195: PLANNED AND UNPLANNED

“…How frightening.” Nan Wei finally spoke after having his entire worldview changed.

Xiao Yu scurried over to Nan Wei. Under Nan Wei’s surprised gaze, Xiao Yu lay back and retracted his four paws, revealing a round snow-white belly.

“*Squeak*.”

In that instant, Nan Wei was blasted by cuteness. He decisively reached out and rubbed Xiao Yu’s belly.

“*Squeak*.”

Xiao Yu hugged Nan Wei’s finger in sync.

The human and hamster played together to their hearts’ content. With nothing else to do, the other two background characters began to chat.

“So, seeing that Xiao Yu is unscathed, whom are you putting this act on for?” Chu Ge asked.

“Haven’t you already guessed?”

“…For Nan Chan.”

“Correct.” Yan Jin sighed deeply.

Chu Ge also sighed.

“So you called us over to discuss our response?”

Yan Jin didn’t respond. He neither nodded nor shook his head.

“Let Nan Wei go back. I can handle this alone,” Chu Ge said.

“You spent so much effort and luck into hiding yourself for all these years. You’re giving up all of it just like that?” Yan Jin asked.

Once Chu Ge showed himself, his identity was bound to be uncovered. At the very least, the Nan Family would find out. Because Yan Jin had considered this point, he had called Nan Wei over as well.

“If possible, I would hope to stay hidden a little longer…” Chu Ge looked at Nan Wei, who was happily playing with Xiao Yu not too far away. Chu Ge gave a bitter smile. “But, it’s very clear I no longer have a choice.”

“Nan Wei is already twenty-four now,” Yan Jin reminded him.

“…That’s still a child.” Chu Ge hesitated, then shook his head. “He doesn’t need to get involved in these things.”

“You’re such a caring older brother.” Yan Jin shrugged and walked over to Xiao Yu and Nan Wei.

Xiao Yu was so happy that he didn’t realize he was about to roll off the table. Fortunately, in that moment, Xiao Yu was fished up from his off-balance position and received a flick to his forehead.

“*Squeak*…” Xiao Yu didn’t dare make too much noise in protest because he knew he had messed up. He could only let out two soft squeaks like a spoiled child.

“Any more trouble from you and I’ll shut you in your cage,” Yan Jin threatened.

“Ahh Cousin, cousin, don’t blame Master. I didn’t take proper care.” Nan Wei had already completely accepted Xiao Yu’s special condition. He had no resistance against Xiao Yu’s devastating cuteness and had quickly been won over.

Yan Jin looked ahead, then looked inside his palm. In the end, all he could helplessly say was, “I’ll let you off just this once.”

Xiao Yu was set back onto the table and swaggered over to Nan Wei. As he did so, he looked back provokingly to Yan Jin before leaping into Nan Wei’s embrace.

Yan Jin: “…”

His face warped in envy. Chairman Yan sat down on the sofa and sternly said, “Let’s talk about the abduction.”

“Mm.” Nan Wei hurriedly put Xiao Yu down and solemnly sat down.

Chu Ge also came over and sat down.

“Firstly, this is the surveillance recording.” Yan Jin turned the computer screen to face the other two. “The police are already in position. When the criminals reach the checkpoint in front of the gas station in ten minutes, they’ll be stopped by the police.

“Wait, you called the police?” Chu Ge asked.

“Why are you surprised?”

“Well, it doesn’t seem appropriate…” Chu Ge looked at Xiao Yu. “There might be some negative effects from publicizing the kidnapping, and our friend here is already safe anyways…”

“That’s a separate issue. I called the police about my stolen car.” Yan Jin knocked on the table. “That custom car is worth twenty million yuan. That’s enough to put someone in jail for ten years.”

Chu Ge exclaimed, “That’s almost equivalent to kidnapping someone. These guys really are ignorant of the law.”

“I’m very pleased that these people who are ignorant of the law saw my riches and became greedy.” Yan Jin didn’t seem to care that they’d stolen twenty million yuan from him.

Xiao Yu made a face at Yan Jin.

Although he himself was very successful with a salary of over ten million, normal people couldn’t be compared with Yan Jin. Every time Xiao Yu felt this difference, his dislike for the rich would subconsciously appear.

In the next second, Yan Jin flicked him in the forehead again.

“*Squeak*…” Xiao Yu complained dispiritedly.

Actually, he’d already guessed that he would receive such a small penalty. However, it happened so frequently he’d grown accustomed to it.

*Sigh*, it really was so annoying having a mind-reading lover. Only someone as magnanimous as himself could endure such a person, hmph!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu became pleased with himself again.

Suddenly, Yan Jin rubbed Xiao Yu all over without giving Xiao Yu any time to react. The fur that Nan Wei had straightened with such difficulty became messy once more.

Xiao Yu fumed. He scurried over to Nan Wei and away from Yan Jin.

For a while, Nan Wei felt a little cold.

“They still haven’t realized that Fishy’s escaped?” Chu Ge asked after looking at the monitor for a while.

“*Squeak*.” Xiao Yu arrogantly puffed out his chest.

Yan Jin nodded. “It’s not their fault. Normal people wouldn’t be able to imagine such an event.”

Nan Wei nodded as well.

“So have you found out who’s behind this?” Chu Ge asked.

“Listen to their conversation. It’s probably not the Nan Family. They talked to a woman. If it really were the Nan Family, they wouldn’t have relied on such low-level abductors.” Yan Jin put on an act. “Thus, you guys won’t be of much help. The remaining work can be handled by the police.”

“Would they really reveal the mastermind’s identity? And, Fishy here has already escaped. They could very well claim innocence.”

“The grand theft is already a fact, regardless of whatever they claim. Ten years of jail time can’t be avoided.” Yan Jin linked his hands on his knees and sat up straight. “This way, we’ll have the initiative.”

Chu Ge clapped while shaking his head. “Wow, that’s so well thought out. I can only bow down before you.”

Since Yan Jin had started discussing the abduction, Nan Wei had been silent, but now he asked, “Then, there’s nothing left for us to do, right?”

“Right, sorry for calling you over for nothing.” Yan Jin finished, but then added, “There was a chance that the Nan Family was involved, so I thought you guys might know something.”

Chu Ge looked at the time and stood up. “It’s already so late. I should get going; I still have stuff to take care of in the hospital.”

Nan Wei stood up as well. “I’ll be heading down as well. Call me if you need anything. I’ll be downstairs.”

Yan Jin nodded.

“Bye Cousin, bye Master.” Nan Wei didn’t forget to say goodbye to his Master’s new form on the way out. He felt extremely fortunate to see an adorably cute hamster waving a paw in return.

Yan Jin’s finger began to rise again.

This time, Xiao Yu was prepared for what was coming and covered his head with his paws before the finger landed.

“*Squeak squeak*!” You’re so ruthless for no reason at all!

“Clearly, you wanted to make me jealous.” Yan Jin reached his hands out to Xiao Yu’s unguarded waist instead and began rubbing it without restraint.

“*Squeak squeak SQUEAKK*!” Stop! That tickles! STAHP!!!

Tears of laughter rolled down Xiao Yu’s face. When Yan Jin finally sated his feelings, the hamster had become a hamster pancake.

“Hey.” Yan Jin poked the hamster pancake and set down a red bottle of liquid. “The drug’s effectiveness is almost up. Take another dose.”

“*Squeak squeak squeak*!” Fuck, is this some kind of buy one get one free? Consider yourself lucky I cooperated for the first time in your scheming. You’re not done yet?!

“Hurry up. I’ll bring you somewhere, but if you’re not a hamster I can’t bring you with me,” Yan Jin said.

Xiao Yu gave Yan Jin a skeptical look. He couldn’t think of any place that only allowed hamsters.

However, Yan Jin sounded quite serious. Xiao Yu thought about it, then chose to believe Yan Jin once more.

If Yan Jin dares to trick me, he can sleep on the sofa tonight.

Wait, one night isn’t enough. Better make it one week.

The liquid that went down his throat tasted absolutely revolting.

One week is too short too! One month!

Yan Jin carefully watched Xiao Yu drink all of the liquid. Then, he placed Xiao Yu in his pocket. “Let’s go.”

So they really were going somewhere…

Xiao Yu was taken into the underground parking garage by Yan Jin without a clue as to where they were going. He saw Chu Ge leaning on a car, smoking.

For a moment, Xiao Yu thought he had the wrong person.

It was unimaginable that a doctor who always preached healthy living was smoking.

“That was fast.” Chu Ge ground the cigarette butt to put it out and tossed it into a nearby garbage can. “Nan Wei didn’t suspect anything, right?”

“He already went downstairs,” Yan JIn responded.

“Alright, let’s go then.”

……

Yan Jin’s car had been taken, so Yan Jin could only lower himself to the standard of Chu Ge’s car.

Speaking of which, Yan Jin’s cars didn’t have a great track record. Some didn’t have enough trunk space or didn’t have a trunk at all, so they could only sit at home collecting dust. One was completely wrecked. Another was damaged after Yan Jin drove it into a railing. And, the last one was stolen.

Maybe Yan Jin was just born incompatible with cars…

Xiao Yu was idly thinking about some random topics when he heard Chu Ge say, “I haven’t personally seen Nan Chan in over ten years.”

Yan Jin grunted in acknowledgement.

Xiao Yu’s ears twitched.

“She’s entirely become part of the Nan Family. With how she was brought up, she didn’t have any other option. But, if I had to do everything over, I would still choose to leave the Nan Family and Nan Chan.”

Yan Jin was silent for a while. Then…

“It was not the wrong choice.”

“It’s my fault that she’s become this way.” Chu Ge’s hands trembled on the steering wheel. “Neither the responsibilities of NN nor that of the Nan Family should have fallen to her.”

“You think it’s your own mistake?”

“At the very least, I must accept some of the blame.”

“If you feel that way, perhaps it would have been better for Nan Wei to accompany me instead.” Yan Jin’s tone turned rather ugly. “Nan Chan was never a naive little girl. Even as a child, she already…”

Caught off guard, Chu Ge immediately turned his head towards Yan Jin. “What?”

Yan Jin felt helpless after saying the wrong thing for once.

“*Squeak squeak*!”

Surprisingly, it was Xiao Yu who broke the impasse.

“What did he say?” Chu Ge said distractedly.

“Give him your phone,” Yan Jin said.

Xiao Yu took the phone from Chu Ge and typed, Are you guys going to see Nan Chan?

“Yes, Yan Jin didn’t tell you?” Chu Ge asked.

Xiao Yu didn’t pay attention to Chu Ge’s follow-up question. After hearing Chu Ge’s affirmation, he continued to type a longer sentence.

When Xiao Yu was finished, Chu Ge immediately looked over. After just a glance, he immediately turned pale.

——Nan Wei just told me that if you guys go to visit Nan Chan, I should tell you guys to “disregard his feelings”.
