Special District 9 Chapter 34: Run, For a Chance of Survival

In the living area near the boundaries of Songjiang, Old Cat stood beside a car as he picked up Qi Lin’s phone call, “What’s wrong?”

“You’re at the Police Bureau?”

“You don’t know? I’m at the border to catch some food smugglers!” Old Cat replied as he wiped off the sweat from his face. “I have just finished, and I’m about to return to the bureau.”
