Chapter 9 — After Understanding Dog Voices, I Became the Most Wanted Person in the High Society

I picked up the Persian cat named Snowball, who was starting to pant. Under everyone's surprised eyes. Turn around and walk towards the door. I didn't turn back. But it can still be felt. Eyes behind. Tran Sieu's eyes. Hotter than ever before. It's also more complicated than ever before. He is definitely thinking. Who am I anyway? Why do we always know secrets that no one else knows? I gave you a riddle that the words "folk trick" cannot explain. I want you to doubt. I want you to not be able to see through me. Because in this game called "contract". Who gets seen through first? That person lost. I hugged Snowball and rushed out of the Tran family's old house. In the background was Tran Nha Nhu's angry screams. And Mr. Tran's meaningful silence. Tran Sieu also followed. He didn't say a word. Open the car door and sit in the driver's seat.

“Which hospital?”

His voice was extremely calm.

“Go to the nearest veterinary hospital with 24-hour emergency care.”

I quickly read the address. The Rolls-Royce rushed down the mountain road. Smooth but extremely fast. Inside the car. The atmosphere was oppressively quiet. Snowball lies in my heart. Breathing becomes increasingly rapid. Painful wheezing sounds were emitted from the throat. 【I... am about to die...】 【Will I no longer be able to eat dried fish from now on...】

“Snowball, we're almost there.”

I kept stroking its fur. Try to reassure. Through the rearview mirror. Tran Sieu looked at me. Eyes are extremely complicated.

“She understands them very well.”

What you said. It's an animal.

“I studied a little.”

I answered through the loudspeaker. Tran Sieu smiled softly.

“The veterinary industry does not teach people how to see disease from a distance.”

His voice was very light. But it's like a sharp surgical blade. Precisely cutting straight into my disguise.

"The veterinary industry also didn't teach you how to know if Tong Vy Vy's bag had peppermint powder that stimulates dogs."

"Let's not teach you how to know that my aunt gave that cat a stimulant."

My heart suddenly sank. He's still examining me. I don't look at you. Just bowed his head and looked at Snowball in his heart.

“Mr. Tran.”

“Sometimes it doesn't matter what the truth is.”

“What matters is what you choose to believe.”

I gently stroked Snowball's soft fur.

“For example, tonight.”

“If I don't come forward.”

“In everyone's eyes, Snowball will just be an expensive, healthy and active pet.”

"And Ms. Tran will be a filial son who cares for her father."

“All in good fun.”

“Isn't that so?”

What I said made Tran Sieu fall silent for a long time. The Rolls-Royce quickly stopped in front of the veterinary hospital. I picked up Snowball and rushed straight into the emergency room.

“This cat has acute asthma!”

“There is a high possibility that it is caused by stimulants!”

As soon as the doctor saw Tuyet Cau's condition, his expression changed. Immediately put it into the oxygen chamber for nebulization. Tran Sieu stands behind. Look at me expertly describing symptoms. Coordinate with the doctor for initial examination. His eyes became deeper. After a period of emergency treatment. Snowball's breathing finally stabilized. The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead. Step out.

“Luckily you brought it there in time.”

“We just did a blood test.”

“Indeed, there are stimulant residues in its body.”

“Your physical condition This cat is very special.”

“If it's five more minutes late.”

“Maybe it can't be saved.”

The doctor's words were like a resounding slap. It landed directly on Tran Nha Nhu's face as she ran to the hospital. She looked at Snowball lying weakly in the oxygen chamber. Look at the test results again. His face was pale and bloodless. Mr. Tran also came. Standing with a cane outside the hospital room. The face is dark and scary. He did not look at his daughter. Which went straight in front of me.

“Tonight, the Tran family is at fault for you.”

He turned his head to look at Tran Nha Nhu.

“Sorry little girl.”

Tran Nha Nhu bit her lips tightly. His face was full of humiliation and unwillingness. But under the old man's majesty. Finally, I still had to reluctantly open my mouth. I do not accept that apology. Just look at old man Tran. Calmly said:

“It's not me who needs to apologize.”

“A cat who almost lost his life because of human vanity and ignorance.”

I turned around and left the hospital. Tran Sieu followed behind. He took off his jacket. Put it on my shoulders. On the shirt, there was still the warmth of his body.

“An Nhien.”

“Let me take you home.”

On the way back. He received a phone call. It's the assistant calling.

“General Tran.”

"Tong Vy Vy's side is still causing trouble."

“She insisted on seeing you.”

Tran Sieu's voice was cold as ice.

“Tell her.”

“If we continue to procrastinate.”

“I don't mind making her completely disappear from Beijing.”

He stopped for a moment. Say it again:

“Go investigate the name ‘Spare Tire No. 1’.”

“Give him a big gift.”

Hang up the phone. The car became quiet again. I looked at the traffic and the bright lights outside the window. I understand very clearly in my heart. The era of Tong Vy Vy has ended. The same was true of Tran Nha Nhu's era. The person who is pushed to the position of "contract girlfriend". On the surface it seems like a win. But inside I was not happy. Because I know. The ice mountain is named after Tran Sieu.
