Pet King - Chapter 134

Chapter 134

Without saying a word, Chen Taitong pulled a long face on their way back . The driver sitting next to him kept sweating as if he was sitting by a bomb that could explode at any second .

"Stop the truck!" Chen Taitong suddenly said .

"What?" The driver was shocked, "Boss, we are not back to the store yet . "

"I know . Stop the truck!" Chen Taitong repeated .

The driver didn’t know what was in Chen’s mind . He stopped the truck as instructed .

He slowly pulled over .

Chen Taitong jumped out of the truck and looked around .

The driver was being nice, "Boss, the closest public bathroom is over there… That bathroom is very dirty and smelly . You will be better off solving your problem behind a pole…"

Chen Taitong was up to the ceiling . "Bullsh*t! I am not a dog . I don’t pee behind a pole . "

The driver was frightened to death . He thought he was just being nice and didn’t anticipate making his boss mad .

Chen Taitong lit up a cigarette, "Why don’t you guys go back to the store first . "

"What?" The driver was shocked again, "What about you?…"

Chen Taitong stopped him, "I have some urgent matters to handle . I will go back to the store later . " He waved away the driver, not speaking another word . "Go! Go! Go! Put away the pets and go home early today . "

The driver was thrilled to hear that he could go home early .

"Okay . Then I will leave you alone, boss . "

"Go!"

Chen Taitong was uneasy as he watched the small truck disappear at the corner of the street .

He looked around again . He felt that pedestrians passing by were looking at him, as though they could see his thoughts . He couldn’t tell if this was an illusion .

"F*ck!" He was choked by the cigarette . This was accompanied by coughing a few times, causing his eyes to get watery .

He spat a few times, threw away the half of a cigarette and stepped it out .

What should he do?

He looked up and saw there was a lane not far from him .

It was a narrow lane where a car could not even conduct a three-point turn .

The lane was very quiet . There wasn’t a single person who went in or came out from there since he had gotten out of the truck . Even passersby would not look down there .

In short, it was a very unlucky looking lane, suitable to film horror movies on .

Once someone walked down this lane, he might not be able to get out .

Chen Taitong wasn’t scared .

Chen Taitong observed a little longer . When there were people walking by, he pretended to rub his head so he could use his arm to cover his face and quickly walked in the lane .

What a whole new world inside the lane!

The noisy cars and pedestrians were left behind . Nothing but quiet was left .

The lane wasn’t open and straight . Some old buildings on both sides were sticking out and some were leaning in, which created a layered view that was difficult to see through . Someone might be hiding in the shade of the building without being seen .

No one was in the lane besides Chen Taitong . A dirty street cat was playing with a plastic bag . It looked at Chen and returned to its game with the plastic bag .

It was a black cat, a sign of misfortune .

A unfortunate cat in an unlucky looking lane .

Chen Taitong took a deep breath . He bent down to pick up a rock and wanted to scare the cat away . When he stood back up, he found the cat was gone .

He laughed, threw away the rock and saw there was a metal plate on the wall that read "Qing Ren Lane"

Qing Ren Lane . What a weird name! Chen Taitong wondered who named it . It was even more hilarious that someone changed the writing to a different Chinese character that pronounced the same yet meant a lane without a person .

Qing Ren Lane, a lane meant to be kept quiet .

Chen Taitong proceeded deeper into the lane .

The further he walked in, the noise from the main road became fainter . Halfway into the lane, the outside noise had completely disappeared .

Chen Taitong could only hear his own footsteps .

He suddenly turned around .

Nothing was behind him . Nothing was ahead of him either .

He was suspicious someone was following him .

Highly nervous, blood-pressure rising and turning around too quickly all contributed to his dizzy head . Blood was flooding into his brain .

Holding his fists tight, he continued walking .

Under such a nerve-racking moment, a normal person would make some noise to comfort himself . So did Chen Taitong . Although he was way past the age of acting like a teenager, he started humming a song, whistling and kicking a rock along the ground .

The ground was wet . Household dirty water was floating everywhere . It gave out a strong odor because no sun could evaporate the water . The water at least was a proof that there were residents in this lane .

He heard a squeaking noise .

Frightened, Chen Taitong felt like electricity had suddenly stricken his body, which gave him goose bumps all over .

There was something behind him . This wasn’t an illusion this time!

His heartbeat was raising . His head hurt .

Taking a deep breath, he slowly turned around, scared .

The street cat was 60 feet behind him . With its yellow eyes staring at him, there was a big rat struggling in its mouth .

The rat made another squeaking noise .

A man and a cat were staring at each other in dead silence .

Chen Taitong glanced at the ground, trying to search for the little rock he had been kicking . The little rock rolled into a deep swamp from the underground drain .

Normally, he would not be so afraid of such a cat . However, he felt that the cat was blocking his way .

The street cat’s mouth came loose . The rat fell down and wanted to escape . The street cat patted without even looking and its paw landed on the rat’s tail . The rat could not get out no matter how hard he struggled .

It upset Chen’s stomach . The street cat was playing with the rat . It would eat it only after it had enough fun and the rat became desperate .

Cats are born this way . However, it looked awfully disgusting at this moment .

He raised his hand and pretended he was going to beat up the cat .

The cat didn’t go away . It smiled as if it was laughing at him .

Chen Taitong pointed at him and yelled, "Don’t follow me! I will beat you up!"

He stepped back as he spoke .

The street cat didn’t follow . It bowed down and took a bite out of the rat’s head .

The rat shook and died .

This was scarier than a horror movie! The only thought in Chen Taitong’s mind was to run away .

The lane wasn’t long at all . Soon he was at the end of it .

It was a dead end .

Holding on to the wall, he was breathing rapidly .

He turned around and saw the street cat was enjoying its meal . It didn’t follow him .

A three-story building was standing at the dead end . A dusty sign read "Qing Ren Consulting Firm . "

Chen Taitong rang the doorbell as he was trying to catch his breath .

A cold voice came out from the speaker after a bit, "Who is it?"

"My name is Wang Qi . I called before," Chen Taitong said .

The door opened after a minute .
