The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 816 - 797: I’m Not a Slut 108

Anning didn’t even have time to change clothes. She grabbed the car keys and headed out.

As she walked, she called Xiao Yuan: "There’s a problem with Gu Kai’s place. Go and check on him. I suspect Xiao Tiantian took Xiao Hua. I need to find her quickly."

After hanging up the phone, Anning started the car.

She drove and calculated where Xiao Hua might be.

In the dark, damp room, Xiao Hua woke up from unconsciousness.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Tiantian’s menacing face.

Xiao Tiantian held a knife and slowly approached Xiao Hua.

"Why? Why couldn’t you just stay at my house? Why did you have to run to the Jiang family?"

Xiao Tiantian was a little crazed, having lost all reason.

As she looked at Xiao Hua, the anger in her eyes almost consumed her.

Xiao Hua arched his back, full of vigilance, and even his fur bristled.

"Why don’t you like me?"

Xiao Tiantian slashed the knife towards Xiao Hua: "Gu Kai, why don’t you like me? Why do you like the Jiang family’s woman?"

Summoning all his strength, Xiao Hua made a leap to avoid the glinting blade.

But as he landed, he felt weak and powerless.

He knew that Xiao Tiantian must have drugged him, making him unable to resist.

At the same time, Xiao Hua was completely shocked.

He was stunned that Xiao Tiantian had revealed his identity and knew he and Gu Kai were one.

"Meow."

Xiao Hua let out a sharp cry.

Xiao Tiantian sneered: "Trying to escape? You’ve been drugged. How could you possibly get away? Just accept your fate."

She raised the knife again to stab Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua cried out, his sharp claws scratching towards Xiao Tiantian’s face.

Xiao Tiantian waved her hand, flinging Xiao Hua to the ground.

"I took you in back then, fed you, cared for you, but I didn’t expect to raise such an ungrateful wretch. I treated you so well...I liked you so much. I stayed in that place for days to find you. But you didn’t repay me at all. Instead, you ran to the Jiang family and got cozy with their woman. Why..."

The more Xiao Tiantian spoke, the angrier she became, seemingly gaining endless strength.

Meanwhile, Xiao Hua had exhausted all his energy and could no longer get up.

Xiao Tiantian grabbed the fur around Xiao Hua’s neck and lifted him: "Go ahead and run! Ha, now I’ll let you die here. I wonder what Gu Kai will do if you die. You don’t like me, fine, but you’re not marrying the Jiang family woman either. If I can’t have you, neither will anyone else."

She tied Xiao Hua to a chair, then moved to cut Xiao Hua’s claws with the knife: "You want to scratch me? Let me cut off your claws first."

Xiao Yuan found Gu Kai and the Third while the Third was feeding Gu Kai water.

Gu Kai was in bad shape, lying there motionless, looking ashen and dry-lipped, like a living corpse.

"Second Brother-in-law."

Seeing Xiao Yuan, the Third finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt like she had someone to rely on.

Xiao Yuan approached, first checking Gu Kai’s pulse, then closing his eyes for a moment: "This is a sign of the soul leaving the body."

"Ah?"

The Third exclaimed: "The soul leaving the body? Lost soul?"

The Third had spent some time in the countryside as a child and heard many stories of children losing their souls. Upon hearing of the soul leaving the body, she instinctively thought it meant a lost soul.

Xiao Yuan didn’t explain much, just nodded: "Something like that."

"Then what do we do?"

The Third asked: "Should we find a spiritual woman to call his soul back?"

Xiao Yuan waved his hand: "No need to go through so much trouble."

He asked the Third to get some alcohol, sterilized the silver needles, and began to treat Gu Kai with acupuncture.

"I’m performing acupuncture to stabilize his soul, which can strengthen the power of his soul and also maintain his body’s Qi."

The Third didn’t understand these things, so she just watched, wondering why the Second Brother-in-law seemed so mysterious now.

In the dim room, Xiao Tiantian lowered the knife onto Xiao Hua’s claws.

Xiao Hua had closed his eyes.

He knew there was likely no escape from this calamity.

At this moment, he desperately missed Jiang Anping.

He regretted the time he spent with Jiang Anping was so short and regretted he could no longer stay by her side.

He also longed for the Jiang family.

Although the Jiang family had their little faults, at their home, Xiao Hua felt comfortable, relaxed, and most importantly, warmth.

Usually, at the Jiang family, he’d listen to Mrs. Jiang talk about family matters, hear the Third and Mrs. Jiang bicker, watch Anning set up Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, and feel his soul calm.

But he feared he’d never return there again.

Xiao Hua felt a sharp pain in his paw.

Xiao Tiantian’s face bore a devilish smile. She intended to torture Xiao Hua, the knife moving slowly but heavily.

She thought she would kill this despicable cat bit by bit. When this cat died, Gu Kai would also seem to lose half his life.

Just when she was feeling triumphant, suddenly, the door was kicked open from the outside.

Anning stood at the door in greasy work clothes, holding a chopstick. With a flick of her wrist, the chopstick shot out, directly piercing through Xiao Tiantian’s wrist.

Xiao Tiantian’s knife fell to the ground.

Anning quickly stepped forward, kicked Xiao Tiantian into the corner, untied Xiao Hua’s ropes in a few swift moves, and checked Xiao Hua’s paw.

Luckily she arrived on time, and Xiao Hua wasn’t seriously injured, just cut on the paw a bit.

"You’re safe now."

Anning held Xiao Hua and stormed out, gently patting Xiao Hua’s back, allowing a faint stream of Spiritual Power to enter Xiao Hua, gradually restoring his strength.

"Meow."

He meowed, looked up at Anning with deep gratitude in his eyes.

He glanced back at Xiao Tiantian, his eyes filled with disgust and hatred.

Meanwhile, in bed, Gu Kai also opened his eyes.

Seeing him awaken, Xiao Yuan knew Anning had successfully rescued Xiao Hua.

He went over and removed the needles, saying to the Third: "He’s okay now."

The Third laughed and cried at the same time, hugging Gu Kai tightly: "You scared me to death. I thought something happened. You...don’t scare me like this again."

Gu Kai smiled, holding the Third and nodded to Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan put away the silver needles: "Since he’s okay, I’ll be on my way. I’ll prescribe some medicine later. Anping, you can go pick it up at the hospital. Gu Kai’s body needs care."

"Thank you, Second Brother-in-law."

The Third wiped her tears and thanked Xiao Yuan, escorting him out: "I’ll go to the hospital for the medicine in a bit."

Xiao Yuan nodded: "Stay and take care of him. I’ll be off."

As soon as the Third entered the house, Anning called: "I found Xiao Hua. How’s Gu Kai doing?"

The Third laughed: "Gu Kai is fine, thanks to Second Brother-in-law this time."

"Take care of him first. I’ll take Xiao Hua back home."

Anning said before hanging up the phone.

Gu Kai was already sitting up. His eyes flashed with a keen light, but when he saw the Third, they were full of tenderness.

"Pingping, I’m hungry. I want to eat the noodles you make."

Gu Kai, rarely acting coy, said to the Third.

The Third was quite pleased: "I’ll go cook noodles for you. Stay put."

She turned into the kitchen, and soon the sound of running water came from there.

Gu Kai took out his phone and dialed a long-unused number: "Brother Hei, it’s Kai. I need your help with something..."
