Chapter 1586: Chapter 1586: What Happened Afterward?

"This..."

The guard, hearing his words, looked awkwardly towards City Lord Yun.

"Why are you looking at me? Just answer the girl’s question!" City Lord Yun said, looking at the guard with irritation.

"Yes."

Scolded by the City Lord, the guard quickly responded.

"City Lord, Miss, Young Master, the one who lost the cat-like dog is none other than the Third Miss of the City Lord’s Mansion."

"What?!"

City Lord Yun was almost startled by the guard’s words.

"Meng’er’s cat-like dog? Hasn’t it been lost for several years now? How could it..."

He remembered that a few years ago, he had captured a cat-like dog for Yun Meng’er, but not long after, the cat-like dog had never been seen again.

Latter, he had asked Yun Meng’er about it once, and she told him the cat-like dog had gone missing and couldn’t be found despite searching.

Thinking it was just a cat-like dog and nothing serious, he found another pet for Yun Meng’er and then put the matter out of his mind.

"Uh."

The guard was choked by his words, unsure whether to continue speaking.

"City Lord, in fact, Miss Yun Meng’s cat-like dog wasn’t lost. It’s just... three years ago, Miss Yun Meng’s good friend Wan Ling’er took Miss Yun Meng’s cat-like dog and started raising it herself."

Hearing his words, City Lord Yun couldn’t help but frown.

He knew this Wan Ling’er, who was one of many friends of Yun Meng’er.

However, as a father, he had advised his daughter not to associate too much with Wan Ling’er, for he had seen firsthand how Wan Ling’er treated servants and how she treated the pets around her.

He did not want his daughter interacting with such a cruel-natured girl.

"And then what happened?"

He asked, his face darkening.

"What happened next?"

The guard was taken aback by the question and took a moment to recover his senses.

"Oh, the subordinate went to the street where Wan Ling’er lives and inquired. Ever since Wan Ling’er took Miss Yun Meng’s cat-like dog, she has been beating or scolding it, and every time she hit the cat-like dog, she would mix in her dissatisfaction with Miss Yun Meng.

"It was just two months ago that the cat-like dog Wan Ling’er had by her side disappeared, and afterward, no one has seen that cat-like dog."

He reported back to the City Lord.

Listening to the guard’s words, City Lord Yun took a deep breath.

Indeed, the character of that Wan Ling’er was definitely not good, and fortunately, in these past few years, his daughter hadn’t had too much interaction with Wan Ling’er.

Otherwise, he, as a father, would truly be at his wit’s end.

"Miss, Young Master, what do you think... could the cat-like dog we saw in the warehouse earlier possibly be the one Wan Ling’er was raising?"

He looked towards Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang, asking.

"That’s hard to say."

Lin Caisang replied.

How could they say for sure? They hadn’t seen the cat-like dog that Wan Ling’er raised, how could they confirm it?

Cat-like dogs weren’t impossible to find; what if that one had been captured from somewhere?

"City Lord Yun, where nearby Yun City has the most wild beasts?" Sui Zimo asked.

"This... naturally, it would be the wild forest outside of the city. That place has the most wild beasts. Many of the city’s pets, not just the cat-like dogs, are captured there. After being tamed, they are raised by their owners’ sides."

"Is that so?"

Sui Zimo raised his hand and touched his chin.

"That sounds like a rather nice place. Sang’er, do you want to go have a look? Hmm?"
