Chapter 19: Viewing the Film

Wang Zikai still hadn't figured it out, blinking his eyes. "What kind of film are you talking about?"

"The kind you usually use to work on your Kirin arms… that kind of film," Gao Yang said awkwardly.

"Oh!" Wang Zikai slapped his thigh, looking excited. "How could I have that kind of film! When have I ever lacked women? That's not happening!"

Gao Yang didn't have the time to play along with his act and gave him a glance. "Hurry up, I've got serious business to attend to!"

Wang Zikai looked over at Fat Jun behind them, then pulled Gao Yang out of the underground garage and into the living room.

"Don't talk about this in front of others! What, do I have no face?" Wang Zikai said a bit embarrassed. "Alright, tell me, which teacher's film do you want?"

"Doesn't matter, whatever," Gao Yang replied.

"Okay, wait here," Wang Zikai said, running off.

Gao Yang sat on the sofa, closed his eyes to rest, and cleared his thoughts.

After some thinking, he decided to call Officer Huang. This area was still under his jurisdiction, so he could easily come up with a cover story like "burglary" or something similar to get him over here.

At that moment, Wang Zikai came running back with a notebook. He sat down on the sofa with a serious expression, glancing at Gao Yang with some embarrassment. "Let's get started."

"Start what?" Gao Yang was confused.

"Viewing the film, of course!" Wang Zikai said.

Gao Yang facepalmed. "You misunderstood, it's not for me to watch."

...

Three minutes later, Gao Yang and Wang Zikai returned to the underground garage.

Fat Jun immediately began wailing. "Yang Ge! Kai Ge! I swear it wasn't me, I didn't want to hurt you... My hand wasn't listening! Please don't kill me! I swear I'm not a beast! I don't want to die..."

"Fat Jun, don't be afraid, we're not going to kill you," Gao Yang reassured him.

"If we were going to kill you, you'd be dead already!" Wang Zikai snorted proudly.

"True..." Fat Jun calmed down a bit.

"Fat Jun, do you prefer men or women?" Gao Yang asked.

"What?" Fat Jun thought he had heard wrong.

"I asked, do you prefer men or women?" Gao Yang repeated.

"Women, of course... w-what's going on?" Fat Jun was a bit confused. Why was he being asked this all of a sudden?

"Good," Gao Yang said, opening his laptop and casually clicking on a video. He glanced at Wang Zikai. "Go, take off his pants."

Wang Zikai froze. "Huh?"

"Just do it!" Gao Yang didn't feel like explaining.

Wang Zikai pulled off Fat Jun's jeans, revealing a pair of yellow Pikachu-themed underwear, his plump thighs, and dense leg hair.

Gao Yang angled the laptop screen toward Fat Jun. "Relax, just watch carefully."

"Okay..." Fat Jun was initially nervous, but after a few minutes, he started to get into it.

Throughout the entire process, Wang Zikai's expression shifted from neutral to slowly curling into a mocking grin.

Fat Jun felt Wang Zikai's contempt, his male pride wounded. He forgot about his fear and shouted excitedly, "I'm not in the right state today! I don't usually act like this!"

"Oh, really?" Wang Zikai drawled, the last word lingering in a very teasing tone.

"Bang." At that moment, the garage door opened, and Officer Huang froze upon seeing the scene.

Well, that was a surprise.

Fat Jun was bound and pantsless.

Gao Yang was holding a laptop with a children's inappropriate film playing loudly, the air filled with unmistakable sounds, while Wang Zikai stood nearby, arms crossed, looking like he was "spectating."

"Ahem, I'll come back later," Officer Huang cleared his throat, adjusted his police cap, and quietly closed the door.

...

Ten minutes later, Gao Yang and Officer Huang stood in the underground garage, while Wang Zikai was sent away.

Officer Huang had a subtle expression. "I see, so this method of distinguishing between beasts and humans was taught to you by Qingling?"

"Yes," Gao Yang lowered his voice. "Don't let Wang Zikai know."

"Understood."

"Fat Jun, stop paying attention to that idiot," Gao Yang glanced at the still-bound Fat Jun.

"Don't worry! I know the difference between humans and beasts, I won't stoop to his level," Fat Jun said, still a bit angry, clearly hurt by his pride earlier.

"Only Coke and beer!" As they were talking, Wang Zikai came back into the garage with a few bottles of chilled drinks and canned beer.

Officer Huang took a bottle of Coke, opened it, and brought it to Fat Jun's lips.

Fat Jun, already parched, eagerly stretched his neck and gulped down two big swigs. His whole body immediately revived, and his eyes became brighter.

Officer Huang pulled up a chair, sitting down in a posture that resembled an interrogation. "Alright, now, tell me everything you remember. Take your time."

"Okay!" Fat Jun licked his lips and began recalling. "The hotel caught fire, right? Aunt He was burned to death, and I was injured. According to our plan, I shut down the hotel and stayed home to recover. I didn't dare go out these past few days, just waiting for you to contact me. Then last night, in the middle of the night, I was woken up by some strange noise..."

"What kind of noise?" Officer Huang lit a cigarette.

"It sounded like a cat, meowing nonstop. I was so annoyed, so I got up and went to the balcony. And sure enough, I saw a white cat. It looked like a Ragdoll, but smaller, with ears standing up and green eyes."

Officer Huang nodded, signaling for him to continue.

"The cat was very intelligent. As soon as it saw me, it stopped meowing. I felt sorry for it, thinking it might be a lost pet from someone's house. So I tried to pet its head…"

"Then, oh my god!" Fat Jun shouted. "It wouldn't let me touch it and suddenly bit my finger! It hurt so much I passed out right there."

"Then what happened?" Officer Huang asked.

"I was in a daze, like I was dreaming. It felt crowded, like I was packed into a subway, with people everywhere, their hands all over me, touching me everywhere…"

"Did anyone actually touch you?" Wang Zikai looked disgusted.

"I was dreaming, okay?!" Fat Jun defended himself, feeling wronged. "When I woke up, I saw Yang Ge and Kai Ge... Then my right hand wouldn't listen to me, it started attacking Yang Ge... the rest, you already know."

After listening, Officer Huang's expression darkened.

He stepped forward, feeding Fat Jun a few more sips of Coke until it was finished.

Officer Huang tossed the Coke bottle aside, took two steps back, and without expression, pulled out his gun, pointing it at Fat Jun. "Fat Jun, I'm sorry."

"Don't! Don't kill me!" Fat Jun cried out desperately. "I swear I'm human! I swear! Yang Ge, help me, help me…"

"Officer Huang," Gao Yang said, feeling a bit reluctant, "Maybe we should observe him first…"

"Bang!" Officer Huang fired the gun.
