Other than Jiang Feifei, who had joined the shop a little later and had never seen the Holy Cat statue herself but had merely heard about the loss of it from the others, the rest of them were old employees and had personally witnessed the Holy Cat statue's journey—from being presented to them as a gift from Snowy to its mysterious disappearance.
Previously, they had never thought much of the Holy Cat statue. They guessed that it was just another weird thing that Zhang Zian did. Other shops displayed a copper cow statue to bring in good luck, but Zhang Zian displayed a copper cat.
After the Holy Cat statue disappeared, Zhang Zian had put out a great reward, saying that anyone who gave him useful information would be able to get a free pet from the shop. That was when they had realized that this Holy Cat statue might be different, but they couldn't figure out how.
