Chapter 69: Fat Tiger
"Mikayla, are you home?"
Mikayla, who was petting her cat and binge-watching a show, suddenly heard Mo Fei's shout and was startled. She thought she was hallucinating.
"Mikayla?"
Mo Fei's second shout confirmed to Mikayla that it really was Mo Fei calling her.
"Why is Uncle looking for me at this hour?"
Mikayla scratched her head in confusion and quickly ran to the balcony to look. She saw Mo Fei leaning against a dilapidated yellow Chevrolet, smiling and waving at her!
Mikayla quickly ran downstairs in her slippers, making a clattering sound.
"Uncle, why are you here?" Mikayla said with a giggle, holding her kitten.
Mo Fei awkwardly patted his head: "Uh… actually, there's something I need your help with."
"Is there something I can help Uncle with?" Mikayla blinked: "What is it?"
Mo Fei pointed to the black Ford Cobra on the other side: "I need you to see if you can fix it."
Mikayla then noticed Mindy next to the Ford Cobra and, carefree, greeted Mindy, her little sister-in-law.
After circling the Ford Cobra and looking at it, Mikayla frowned tightly: "Uncle, what did you do tonight? The marks on this car were clearly made by high-caliber firearms. You didn't rob a bank, did you?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Mo Fei shook his head and assured her: "Although something did happen, I definitely wasn't involved in any crime."
Mikayla gave Mo Fei a deep look, then refocused on the car: "Alright, Uncle, I won't ask what exactly happened. This car has multiple marks from large-caliber bullets. I don't know the extent of the damage yet, or if it can even be fixed. I'll have to check it carefully first!"
The Ford Cobra was moved into Mikayla's home repair shop.
Sitting in Mikayla's house, she poured Mo Fei a cup of hot Water: "Uncle, it's a good thing your car's engine and braking system, and other important parts, weren't damaged. Only the surface was damaged, so it can be restored to its original condition. But even so, to fix it, it will cost at least 20,000 U.S. dollars."
"But Uncle, you're not secretly a killer or something, are you, pretending to be a Doctor on the surface? Like in the movies?" Mikayla looked at Mo Fei with great suspicion.
"How could that be?" Mo Fei said with an innocent expression: "Look at this face of mine, full of righteousness. Wherever I go, wouldn't people recognize me? How could I be a killer or something? Impossible!"
Just then, Mikayla's TV suddenly reported the news of the shootout on the road today. Mo Fei's Ford Cobra and Fire Fox's Dodge Viper were conspicuously visible.
Mo Fei: "..."
"Uncle, are you still trying to deceive me?" Mikayla said faintly: "The fake license plate disguised on your car was installed by my own hands. If I'm not mistaken, the little girl driving the car was Mindy, wasn't she?"
Although Mindy wore a silver-gray mask in the blurry photos, Mikayla was so familiar with her, how could she not recognize her!
It was confirmed!
"If I said it was all a coincidence, would you believe me?" Mo Fei said weakly.
"Alright, Uncle, if you don't want to say, then forget it. After all, shouldn't lovers have some small secrets?" Mikayla smiled helplessly.
"Eh? Is this the kitten you've recently adopted, Mikayla?" Mo Fei's eyes darted around, looking for something to change the subject. He happened to see the yellow kitten lying on the sofa watching TV: "It's very cute! What's its name?"
"This isn't my cat. When I came home tonight, it just appeared in my house, I don't know how." Mikayla petted the cat a couple of times: "I'm planning to ask around tomorrow to help it find its true Master!"
Mo Fei smiled and shook his head: "If it's not from your neighbors, then finding its Master won't be easy. You're close to the highway here, so it might have been left behind by some passersby. But looking at it, it doesn't seem to be a valuable breed, so others probably won't put much effort into finding it! So it should be a stray cat now."
"If it really is a stray cat, then I'll adopt it!" Mikayla smiled: "It's really so cute! Don't you think so, Uncle?"
"It is a little cute indeed!" Mo Fei nodded: "If you're planning to adopt it, Mikayla, how about I help you give it a new name? You can't keep its old name, can you?"
"Okay, that's great! I'm not very good at naming things anyway!"
Mo Fei pondered for a moment, then said: "How about calling it Fat Tiger?"
Mikayla: "..."
"Uncle, it's just a cat. Isn't 'Fat Tiger' a bit inappropriate?" Mikayla hesitated.
"Look at it, it's an orange cat breed, a bit chubby, and its fur is brownish-yellow, the same color as a tiger, right? And you probably don't know, every cat dreams of becoming a tiger. Wouldn't calling it Fat Tiger be perfect?" Mo Fei said, providing a well-reasoned argument.
Mikayla was a bit moved. She stroked the cat's head: "Little one, how do you like the name Fat Tiger?"
The yellow kitten rolled its eyes in disdain.
And Mo Fei pressed its head down: "See, it agreed!"
Flecken: "..."
I have a 'motherf***er' I don't know whether to say or not!
"Alright, it's happily decided then! From now on, you'll be called Fat Tiger!" Mikayla happily rubbed the cat's head: "If I really can't find your Master tomorrow, then I'll be your mom!"
"Hmm, then I'll be its dad!" Mo Fei nodded solemnly.
Flecken: "..."
This person is so annoying. Can I just kill him?
"Oh, by the way, Uncle, have you eaten?" Mikayla suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Not yet, I've been busy for most of the night." Mo Fei rubbed his stomach. He had originally planned to go home and eat after buying the medicine.
"Then I'll make Uncle something to eat. Let Uncle see my cooking skills!"
Mikayla and Mindy went into the kitchen to get busy, while Mo Fei watched TV and petted the cat in the living room.
Flecken secretly peeked at Mikayla, who was busy in the kitchen and out of sight, then secretly peeked at Mo Fei, who was petting him.
"Ah!"
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Mikayla rushed out.
Mo Fei held up his bleeding right hand and glared at the kitten: "It suddenly scratched me! This cat isn't cute at all, let's just get rid of it!"
"Fat Tiger is very well-behaved; it doesn't move around at all. When I rubbed its head, it didn't even react. Uncle, did you secretly bully it?" Mikayla scrutinized Mo Fei.
Mo Fei: "..."
PS: I was delayed last night.
Thanks to GT for the generous reward. There was no driving in this chapter, but next chapter, I'm coming in a heavy truck.
