There was a short reply from Galaxy and nothing else. Looking at the pipes, Zhang Zian was nervous.
"Relax. Galaxy will be fine," Old Time Tea said, "Even if it runs into a dangerous situation, it will be able to come back out safely."
Zhang Zian sighed. Old Time Tea might now know that Galaxy could determine everyone's destiny but its own. He could not stop thinking about it.
It was Fina's first time in an office. It had nothing to do, so it jumped on a desk curiously and looked at the computer monitor… or the reflection of itself in the monitor, rather.
Fina then jumped to another desk and knocked off the stuff on the desk, items such as tissue boxes and pens. Zhang Zian felt a headache coming.
"Fina, why are you jumping around? Be quiet and stay where you are. Look at Old Time Tea. It is always quiet and calm." After Fina knocked a teddy bear on the floor, Zhang Zian had to say something. Zhang Zian would have to pick up everything when they were about to leave.
Old Time Tea jumped on a turning chair and started spinning around curiously.
Fina turned around, stared at him and said unhappily, "How come all the monitors are bigger than yours? How poor are you?"
Zhang Zian finally understood Fina. He explained, "These computers are desktops. Desktops comes with bigger monitors. Mine is a laptop which is made for portability so the monitor has to be smaller."
"Look at these monitors. They are so dusty." Fina looked at the monitor closely.
"Of course, because no one cleans a computer at work," Zhang Zian explained. He never cleaned his monitor when he worked in a company until it was absolutely unbearable. "People don't care about the company's assets."
Fina jumped to another desk, and knocked off a mug. The mug was a good one. It bounced on the floor and remained in one piece.
"Well, this one is pretty clean," Fina said.
"This desk must be a girl's desk," Zhang Zian guessed. "Hey, why do you care about whether the monitor is clean?"
"It was windy outside. My hair needs to be combed." Looking at the reflection in the monitor, Fina sometimes moved its body to look at its side and back.
"Really? I think you are trying to see if you have really put on weight," Zhang Zian didn't believe Fina.
"Shut up! Where are your listening ears?!" Fina was mad. "I told you I didn't put on weight."
"Hey!" Old Time Tea stopped them and tried to change the topic, "This chair is fun!"
Old Time Tea's voice was different. Zhang Zian looked up and saw it was turning around on the chair. Old Time Tea was having so much fun!
"Grandpa Tea, be careful. You will get dizzy!" he said.
"That's fine… I… I…" Old Time Tea raised one paw and wanted to land it on the desk so the chair would stop turning around. However, it couldn't land its paws on the desk.
Zhang Zian ran over and stopped the chair.
Old Time Tea wanted to jump down but Zhang Zian stopped it. "Grandpa Tea, why don't you sit for a little and wait until you are not dizzy?" He knew Old Time Tea should rest.
"Okay, I will." Old Time Tea listened and stayed on the chair.
Bang!
Bang Bang!
A noise came from behind.
What a headache! Zhang Zian turned around and saw Fina was using the monitor as a mirror when its tail whipped and knocked down a stapler. Staples spread everywhere.
Staring at Fina, Zhang Zian was hoping that it realized what went wrong.
"I'd say spend that time picking up the staples rather than looking at me. What? Are you trying to have me pick them up?" Fina glanced at him and returned to enjoying its image reflected on the monitor.
What the f*ck?! Zhang Zian was speechless. He was hoping Fina and Old Time Tea would be working on the case, but they were too busy playing. Now Galaxy had to do everything.
Old Time Tea had never had so much fun… And Fina… It didn't listen anyways. Therefore, Zhang Zian knew he had to babysit both of them and pick up all the things Fina knocked down on the floor.
At this time, he heard Galaxy's voice.
"Meow! Zian, Galaxy is back!"
Zhang Zian turned around immediately and saw Galaxy sitting on the ground and looking at him excitedly.
He first looked at Galaxy to make sure it was fine. He relaxed and said, "Galaxy, you have been gone for a while. I am happy to see you back!"
"Zian, Galaxy found those bad boys!" Galaxy said proudly.
"Oh?" Old Time Tea recovered. It opened its eyes and jumped down from the chair.
Fina looked up and continued staring at its own reflection on the monitor.
Zhang Zian had thought about Galaxy finding the thieves, but Galaxy really didn't have any social skills, so he didn't have high hopes. Now that Galaxy mentioned this, he was excited.
"Did you find them? You are so good!"
Galaxy nodded. "Yeah! They are all down there, at the lowest!" It padded on the ground using its paw.
"The lowest?" Zhang Zian looked down to the floor without thinking.
"Yeah. The lowest. Go down the pipes, all the way!" Galaxy gestured with extreme excitement.
They were on the fifth floor of Yuanhua Building. If they went all the way down… It would not be the first floor, which was the lobby. Were they in the underground parking lot?
"Are there many cars?" Zhang Zian confirmed.
Galaxy shook its head, "Nope. It was a room with many desks and chairs."
"Desks and chairs?" Zhang Zian thought for a second, "Is it the storage room?"
Galaxy didn't know.
"Was there a person? I mean, was there a person to manipulate the cat thieves?" he asked again.
"Nope," Galaxy shook its head again.
"Oh…" Zhang Zian thought he knew it all, "So the wire-puller wasn't there. Only the cats were there?"
"Nope," Galaxy shook its head one more time.
Zhang Zian was confused. Galaxy's answer was way too difficult to comprehend.
Galaxy said seriously, "The wire-puller was also a bad boy!"
He was completely lost. What did Galaxy mean? So, the cat trainer was also a kid? That was unexpected.
Old Time Tea suddenly got it. It asked Galaxy, "Did you mean… it was a cat who trained other cats to steal?"
Galaxy nodded, "Yes! It was an Elfin like us."
