Chapter 147: The Approval of the White Cat

"Are you serious? That sounds like a threat . " Liu Dao did not think that Chen Ge was kidding . He did not know Chen Ge that well, but he did know that the man was… a bit different from normal .

"No, it's sincere advice . Just tell him what I said . " Chen Ge's voice was calm . He was already praising himself for how kind-hearted he was . "At the end of the day, we are merely competitors . Even though he is rather shameless, I do not want to see him walk toward his death . Furthermore, his livestream involves such a large crew; they are innocent lives, so he should think about them . "

Competitor? Death? Innocent lives? Are we talking about the same topic? Liu Dao felt like one of them was drunk . To tell Qin Guang that if he continued to copy Chen Ge, he would die… how was he going to say that?

"Chen Ge, I know you are angry, but please calm down . We can use our content to surpass him; there is no need to rely on threats . If anything, this might make them sue us . " Liu Dao tried to advise him . After all, the contract had been signed, and their first official cooperation began tomorrow, so he did not want Chen Ge to do anything stupid at such a crucial moment .

"You will not understand even if I explain it to you . " Chen Ge walked to his Haunted House . "If there's nothing else, I'll see you tomorrow afternoon . "

"Remember to come early . There are many details we wish to discuss with you . "

"You got it . " After hanging up, Chen Ge was feeling low . He did not think that the livestream was that important; be it Qin Guang or the popularity, those were added bonuses . He only cared about one thing, which was to survive and find the clues left behind by his parents . Chen Ge glanced toward the canopy of the tree next to the Haunted House, but the white cat was nowhere to be seen .

Eventually, it has left . Chen Ge had grown quite attached to that cat . Multi-colored eyes are not common for a stray, but it is still a life; things can't be forced .

Chen Ge was rather saddened upon realizing that the white cat had left . He entered the Haunted House and found himself alone in the long corridor . The Haunted House was rather lifeless at night . He switched on the corridor lights, and his lonely shadow extended down the corridor . It looked quite lonely, but he had gotten used to this already .

He went into the bathroom to wash his face before turning toward the staff breakroom . Before entering, he noticed something weird . Why is the breakroom door open?

There were two sets of keys to the breakroom; he carried one on himself, and the other was hidden above the door frame . It was to make it convenient for other Haunted House workers . This hiding place was only known to those who had worked at the Haunted House before .

If it was Xu Wan, she would have locked the door before she left . Looks like an outsider has snuck into the breakroom . Chen Ge took a detour to the props room to grab Doctor Skull-cracker's iron hammer .

He pushed the breakroom door open . The room was dim, and there was no one in sight .

The key wasn't on the door frame . Has the thief has taken away the key? Chen Ge glanced around the room, and he realized the only difference was there was an unwashed jacket lying on the table .

I remember hanging this beside the bed when I changed out of it this morning . Why is it on the table? He turned the light on and used the hammer to peel the jacket back .

Underneath the dirtied jacket lay a pure white cat . It moved its head with impatience, its pair of different-colored eyes shining with resentment . Chen Ge looked behind it, and a dirty ragdoll was lying on its tail . The small ragdoll appeared like she was trying to grab onto the white cat's tail, but she did not expect that Chen Ge would come in so suddenly . Her body froze from the scare, and very instinctively, she pretended to be dead .

"Xiaoxiao?" This scene surprised him . Couldn't these two not stand each other?

White cat, jacket… Chen Ge glanced at the jacket, and it dawned on him . When he took the cat to the doctor that night, he used his own jacket to wrap the cat and the kittens .

The smell of the four kittens probably lingered on the jacket . The jacket and the basket that carried the kittens were all in the breakroom, but the room was locked .

The key hidden above the doorframe was a secret to most, but for Xiaoxiao, who wandered about the Haunted House daily, she must have been privy to it . If anything, Xiaoxiao probably knew more about the Haunted House than Chen Ge by then .

Chen Ge pulled Xiaoxiao up by her leg and shook her twice in the air . A copper key then fell from her pocket .

"Are you trying to be the Haunted House's manager?" Chen Ge did not know to laugh or cry . He placed Xiaoxiao beside the white cat and returned the key to on the door frame . Standing in the cold corridor, Chen Ge felt the breakroom was weirdly bright and warm .

Xiaoxiao lay beside the white cat on the table . The cat gave her a cold shoulder, but it did not push Xiaoxiao aside . It lay lazily on the table and did not seem like anything was going to affect it .

Looking at this, Chen Ge's lips curved upwards . I used to stay here alone, but it has gotten quite rowdy now .

After closing the door, Chen Ge sat on the chair . He took out the black phone and started to inspect his daily missions . The three missions were respectively to hire more workers, perform safety inspection, and install a sturdy door for the Mu Yang High School scenario .

All the missions are imminent problems that the Haunted House needs to solve . Chen Ge updated the Haunted House's information on the internet by introducing the new scenario and adding in the information of the reward money . After that, Chen Ge posted a recruitment post online . There was only one demand–the person had to be brave .

I must be picky with the recruitment . If Uncle Xu continues to help me sell ticket, we can still barely manage to get by, so this can be delayed for now . But as the Haunted House grows bigger, the issue of security cannot be ignored; I should pick the security option as my daily mission .

Chen Ge stood up again . He checked all the safety hazards in the Haunted House and came up with new rules, but the black phone did not say that he was done .

What's the problem? I've checked all the scenarios, why isn't the mission completed yet? Chen Ge stood there with the black phone . He might need to conduct a three-star Trial Mission tomorrow, so he needed time to prepare . He had no time to waste on a daily mission .

Wait, could it be the mirror in the bathroom?
