Ma Lu placed the furball in his hand, closed his eyes, and then opened them again.
"Right, I still don't know what to call you?"
"Wei Jingyan."
"Well then, Miss Wei Jingyan, if you're ready, let's begin."
Wei Jingyan nodded expectantly, and then she saw Ma Lu mutter under his breath.
After about half a minute, Ma Lu spoke again, "I've found your cat. You can ask any questions now."
"Really? Then, please, Mr. Ma, can you ask Mr. Furball where he is currently?"
"It says it's in a safe place, but it can't tell you the specific location."
"Look at me, I forgot cats can't read. Can it see any distinctive buildings and tell me what they are? I could search using Baidu Maps." Wei Jingyan pulled out her cell phone.
"No, it doesn't want to tell you, it's not that it can't."
"Eh?"
"It said it left home because something happened there that made it very uncomfortable."
"Something uncomfortable," Wei Jingyan said blankly. "Is it the new automatic drinking fountain it doesn't like?"
