The Second Competition Approaches

By twelve o'clock, Xia Yu entered the body of the black cat.

His vision suddenly became low, making him a little unaccustomed. After running around in the living room for a while to adapt, he opened the door and went out.

He quickly arrived at the park where he had been attacked before.

The night vision of the black cat was much better than his own at only level 1. He easily found the place where he had been attacked before.

Standing there, he sniffed his nose and began to distinguish the smells in the air.

Although cats' sense of smell was not as good as top-tier dogs, they were already more sensitive than many dogs.

If it weren't for the fact that cats were difficult to tame, the police force would not only have dogs.

The dark park was not a favorite place for couples at night, so there was little smell interference. However, distinguishing the smells of himself, Yan Wei, and the attacker still took some effort for Xia Yu.

He smelled himself in the cat's body but never smelled Yan Wei. Because the sense of smell of the cat and humans was different, he couldn't make comparisons from his human memory.

He could only identify the direction of the two smells.

The smell going toward the streetlight was Yan Wei's, and the remaining one was the attacker's.

The smell was faint, but he could still smell it with concentration.

Following the scent, Xia Yu started to take action.

Ordinary cats or dogs would have to smell all the way, but Xia Yu was a wise cat.

He didn't need to keep smelling. He only needed to smell at the intersections to see which direction the attacker went.

This greatly accelerated his speed.

Crossing two streets, he found the attacker's lair.

It was a garage transformed into a small rental house.

Jumping onto the windowsill, Xia Yu observed the movements inside.

A tall and thin young man was applying medicine to himself shirtless.

Glancing at the wound on the young man's abdomen, Xia Yu confirmed that he was the culprit.

He didn't know the man, but it was normal for an unknown person to target Yan Wei.

Since the body exchange could not be terminated prematurely, Xia Yu yawned and dozed off in the cat's body until eight hours had passed.

At three o'clock, he saw a familiar figure.

It was the male student from the neighboring class who had failed to show off in the milk tea shop.

So it was him who had caused the trouble.

Was it because he couldn't have Yan Wei, he wanted to ruin her?

Xia Yu kept watching.

The male student knocked on the door, and the young man got up to open it.

"Cousin, how did you end up like this?" The male student was surprised to see the young man with a twisted face.

"Never mind, I just strained my wound when I walked a few steps," the young man sat down on the bed and took a three-minute break to recover.

"It was my negligence. I didn't expect that woman to hire a powerful bodyguard," the young man said.

"Were you discovered?" The male student became anxious, "You didn't sell me out, did you?"

"Am I that kind of person who betrays family?" said the young man, "Besides, I wasn't discovered. I ran away."

"Are you sure you weren't discovered?"

"Unless there's someone eavesdropping by the window right now, there's absolutely no chance of being exposed!" The young man vowed.

"You better leave, now!"

Feeling the boy's desire to clear his own conscience, the young man became indignant.

"I got injured just to help you!" he said angrily, "Why did you go trouble that girl for no reason!"

The boy also realized the impropriety of his actions and comforted his cousin: "Because of that woman, I was scolded by the headteacher for an afternoon, beaten by my parents, and had my pocket money deducted for a year, so I was upset."

"I just wanted you to avoid the limelight first, what if you were discovered?" he added.

"Let me take a nap first."

With that, the young man lay down on the bed.

Having lost interest in the scene below, Xia Yu began to play with insects on the grass.

At 7:40 in the morning, he returned to his front door and knocked.

Uncle Yu opened the door and let him in.

After lying down in the living room until 8 o'clock, Xia Yu returned to his own body.

He first asked for leave from his teacher and then went to the police station, saying he had a clue.

Five policemen accompanied him to the garage.

"Are you sure it's inside?" the old policeman from last night asked.

"I kept thinking about it last night, and finally remembered this morning that I had seen the person before, and he lives here," Xia Yu said.

The five policemen looked at each other, and the old policeman asked the other four to hide on one side, took off his police uniform, and changed into a plainclothes outfit from his backpack.

He took out a cheap ballpoint pen and a notebook from the bag, and then knocked on the door of the garage.

"Who is it?" a voice came from inside the garage.

"Neighborhood security. We're recently cracking down on crime and need to register the names of the residents," the old policeman replied.

Seeing an old man with a pen and paper through the peephole, the young man felt relieved and opened the door.

He was still holding a phone in his hand, talking to his cousin.

"I know, I'll leave soon, don't worry, nobody knows about that matter... the noise here? It's the neighborhood security. Why are you so nervous?... Gotta go, my stomach still hurts." Putting the phone in his pocket, the young man took the pen and paper from the old policeman.

"Do I have to sign this when I'm leaving today?" he asked.

"Yes, sign here," the old policeman pointed to the paper, and in the young man's moment of carelessness, he punched him straight in the face.

The young man fell to the ground without understanding what happened and was soon restrained by the old policeman's grappling technique.

"Hey, what are you..." Before he could finish speaking, the four undercover policemen surrounded him.

The four were all policemen in uniform.

"Officer, is there any misunderstanding? I was just a bit careless when I was throwing out the trash," he tried to deceive them.

The old policeman lifted his shirt: "Then explain this wound first."

Understanding that it was pointless to continue lying, the young man lowered his head.

Xia Yu stood to one side watching. The old policeman told him not to approach or let the criminal see him to prevent possible resentment and a second attack.

Although the young man had been caught, Xia Yu's heart was not at ease, as he had sworn not to expose the boy from the next class. He still had to find a way to punish the boy.

What should he do?

While he was thinking, a voice came from the front: "It was my cousin who instigated it! It was all his doing!"

"..."

He overestimated the other party's integrity.

With the young man's testimony, the male student from the neighboring class was soon caught and taken away from the school.

Since the attack did not lead to serious consequences, the punishment for the male student from the neighboring class was not severe, but he had already been advised to leave the school, and even the work of his parents was affected to some extent.

Two days later, on Friday night, the family packed up their belongings and left the city directly.

Xia Yu did not receive the news of their departure.

At the time, he was in Kaiyang, just getting off the high-speed train.

Tomorrow is the day for the second round of the musical instrument competition, and there is a small banquet tonight that the contestants will basically attend.
