Chapter 226: and then ===GLOSSARY===

"Hey, senior brother, why do you still have a dog here?" Er Mao stared at the dog, and seeing that the dog showed no hostility toward Zheng Tan, he finally relaxed.

Interpretation: "Hey, senior brother, why do you still have a dog here?" Er Mao stared at the dog, and seeing that the dog showed no hostility toward Zheng Tan, he finally relaxed.

We need to keep tone: "Hey, senior brother, why do you still have a dog here?" Er Mao stared at the dog; seeing that the dog showed no hostility toward Zheng Tan, he finally relaxed.

"Make sure not to add extra. Use "senior brother" as the translation. Could also be "Senior Brother". Use exactly as needed."

Zheng Tan also noticed that, aside from initially showing strong vigilance, the dog stared at him and Er Mao for a while and then became much more friendly, not seeming aggressive, yet it still blocked Zheng Tan and Er Mao at the doorway, showing no sign of leaving.

Zheng Tan also noticed that, aside from initially showing strong vigilance, the dog in front of him stared at him and Er Mao for a while then became much more amiable, not seeming aggressive, yet it still blocked Zheng Tan and Er Mao at the doorway, showing no intention to leave.

Make sure to keep all info.

However, the monkey on the big dog's back, seeing that the dog remained calm for a long time, grew anxious, let out a few calls, and even tugged at the collar around the dog's neck.

But the monkey on the big dog's back, seeing the dog not showing aggression for a long time, grew anxious and cried out a few times, also tugging at the collar on the dog's neck.

"Heijin, come here, there's a guest!" came the voice of Senior Brother Walnut from the study.

"Heijin, come here, there's a guest!" came the voice of Hetaoshixiong from the study.

The big dog blocking Zheng Tan and Er Mao immediately stepped aside and walked toward the study.

The big dog blocking Zheng Tan and Er Mao immediately stepped aside and walked toward the study.

Now Qi Dada became even more anxious, seeming to lose face, and tugged several times at the dog's collar, trying to make the dog turn around, but unfortunately, not only did it fail to change the dog's direction, the dog flung him off its back.

Now Er Mao (actually Qi Dada is the monkey? Wait: In the text, Qi Dada is the monkey? Earlier they called Qi Dada the monkey? Let's check: In line 【3】 they said the monkey on the big dog's back. Then later they refer to Qi Dada as the monkey? Actually line 【6】 says Qi Dada became more anxious... tugged several times at the dog's collar, trying to make the dog turn around... was flung off the dog's back. So Qi Dada is the monkey. Yes, the monkey is named Qi Dada. So we keep that name.

Thus line: Now the monkey grew even more anxious, seeming to lose face, and tugged again at the dog's collar, trying to make the dog turn around, but unfortunately not only did it not change the dog's direction, the dog flung it off its back.

After rolling on the ground, Qi Dada got up, looked toward Zheng Tan, saw that Zheng Tan's expression was not good, and hurriedly ran to the study to seek protection, not wanting to be beaten again.

After rolling on the ground, the monkey got up, looked at Zheng Tan, saw Zheng Tan's expression not good, hurriedly ran to the study to seek backing, it didn't want to be beaten again.

When Zheng Tan entered the study, he saw the big dog lying beside Senior Brother Walnut, ignoring everyone around. Qi Dada, meanwhile, jumped over to Peiliang, apparently to tattle.

When Zheng Tan entered the study, he saw the big dog lying beside Hetaoshixiong, ignoring everyone around. The monkey then jumped to Peiliang's side, apparently to tattle.

Another tattler. Zheng Tan felt contempt.

Another tattletale. Zheng Tan felt disdain.

"Is this a Kunming dog? It looks like it has served before." Er Mao said, his eyes shining as he looked at Heijin.

"This is a Kunming dog, right? Looks like it served." Er Mao's eyes lit up as he stared at Heijin, saying.

Men, for the most part, still prefer to keep dogs, just as when Zheng Tan first met Senior Brother Walnut, who had said, "I'd rather keep a dog than a cat."

Men, most still prefer keeping dogs, just like when Zheng Tan first met Hetaoshixiong, who said he'd rather keep a dog than a cat.

"Yes." Hearing Er Mao's words, Senior Brother Walnut said proudly, "Heijin is a military dog that retired early due to injury and illness, from a friend's unit. Although the dog doesn't hold the same status as a person, one could still call it a warrior, right? People say, 'One radish, one hole,' and it counts as a weapon in the arsenal; you might want it but not necessarily get it. I went to great trouble to bring it over, and after arriving we still needed to break it in. Fortunately, everything went smoothly—just a couple of days ago it even helped me catch a drug dealer. This dog is incredibly capable! However, I dare not bring it into the bureau. Such dogs don't usually bite people indiscriminately, but if they do, they're fiercer than wolves."

"Yes." Hearing Er Mao's words, Hetaoshixiong felt proud: "Heijin is a military dog that retired early due to injury, from a friend's unit. Although the dog's status isn't equal to a person's, it's still considered a warrior, right? People say, 'one radish, one hole,' it also counts as military equipment; you might want it but not necessarily get it. I went to great trouble to bring it over, and after arriving it still needed adjustment. Fortunately everything went smoothly; just the other day it even helped me catch a drug dealer. This dog is damn awesome! But I dare not bring it into the bureau. Such dogs don't usually bite people casually, but if they do, they're fiercer than wolves."

We need to keep the quoted speech exactly as Chinese meaning, not add.

"You just kept it without a word; that day at the hotel, when everyone was bragging about their pets, I didn't hear you say a word about dogs. But getting back to the point, don't you already have police dogs there? Wanting a dog shouldn't have required waiting until now." Er Mao asked.

"You kept it without a word; that day at the hotel when everyone was bragging about their pets, you didn't mention a thing about the dog. But speaking of that, don't you guys already have police dogs? Wanting a dog shouldn't have waited until now." Er Mao asked.

"It's just a matter of taking a liking to it. Besides, after bringing it back, I spent some time letting it adjust here; if it had a fiercer temperament, I wouldn't have been able to bring it back at all. Heijin might have tolerated it. It can help catch suspects outdoors, deter thieves at home, and even help pick up shoes when it rains! My friend told me that in the unit, Heijin was often ordered by those people to steal others' shoes, waiting for an emergency assembly to make a fool of himself, and once he even stole the shoes of their company commander."

"It's just that we didn't hit it off. Besides, after bringing it back, it took some time to adapt here; if it had a fiercer temperament, I wouldn't have been able to call it back at all. Heijin might be tolerant. Outdoors it can help with captures, at home it can guard against thieves, and when it rains it even helps fetch shoes! My friend said that in the unit, Heijin was often ordered by those people to steal others' shoes, waiting for an emergency assembly to embarrass them, and once even stole the company commander's shoes."

Lying on the ground, Heijin's ears twitched now and then as he paid attention to his surroundings; occasionally hearing a few familiar words, he would lift his gaze toward Senior Brother Walnut. When Senior Brother Walnut mentioned that friend who had served in the military and the unit's affairs, the prone Heijin let out a low, mournful whine.

Heijin lying on the ground twitched its ears now and then, paying attention to the surroundings; occasionally hearing a few familiar words, it would lift its eyes to look at Hetaoshixiong's side. When Hetaoshixiong spoke of that soldier friend and the unit affairs, the lying Heijin let out a whining, mournful sound.

Senior Brother Walnut leaned over and stroked Heijin's head, "You're missing them, aren't you?"

Hetaoshixiong bent down and patted Heijin's head: "Missing them, huh?"

Zheng Tan suddenly felt the atmosphere turn sorrowful; even Qi Dada remained still, eyes wide, wondering what he was thinking.

Zheng Tan suddenly felt the atmosphere turn sorrowful; even the monkey didn't move, eyes wide, not knowing what it was thinking.

"Hey, Er Mao, let me show you some photos of Qi Dada from his recent filming." Peiliang spoke up to break the somber mood, "Look, there's even a popular female actress, and I have her autograph… I could make quite a bit of money selling it."

"Hey, Er Mao, let me show you some photos of the monkey filming recently." Peiliang spoke up to break the sad mood: "Look, there's also a popular female star; I even have her autograph… I could sell it for quite a bit."

Zheng Tan: "……" So this autograph-hunting is just to make money, huh?

Zheng Tan: "……" So this autograph-snatching is just to make money?

"These photos can get even more exposure when we go on the show, boosting popularity." Peiliang treasured these photos, buying several albums specifically for them, to be used later to fill out the program.

"These photos, when we go on the show, can be shown off more to boost popularity." Peiliang treasured these photos, buying several albums specifically for them, to be taken later to fill the scene.

"Even when filming historical dramas in costume, Senior Brother Pei, aren't you worried about pulling out people's photos like this and getting into trouble later?" Er Mao pointed at the photos in the album.

"Filming historical dramas, still in costume, Peiliang senior brother, you're pulling out people's photos to show off—won't you be pursued later?" Er Mao pointed at the photos in the album.

"It's fine; I've obtained their consent, they're happy about it—this is also a form of promotion that can increase their visibility." Obviously Peiliang isn't encountering this for the first time; he's experienced, having considered many aspects.

"It's fine, I got their consent; they're happy about it. This is also a kind of promotion, raising their visibility." Obviously Peiliang isn't encountering this for the first time; he's experienced, having considered many aspects.

While Er Mao was looking at the photos, Peiliang took out a digital camera and said to Zheng Tan, "Come on, three partners, let's take a commemorative photo."

While Er Mao was looking at the photos, Peiliang took out a digital camera and said to Zheng Tan: "Come on, three little partners, let's take a commemorative photo."

"Taking photos is fine, but don't let this photo leak out later." Senior Brother Walnut said.

"Taking photos is fine, but don't let this photo leak out later." Hetaoshixiong said.

"I know, I've got it under control." Peiliang waved his hand, then gestured for Zheng Tan to come over, "Heijin and Hei Tan are both from the 'Black' family—what a coincidence."

"Got it, I know what I'm doing." Peiliang waved his hand, then gestured for Zheng Tan to come over: "Heijin, Hei Tan, both are of the 'Black' family—fate."

"Who knows when these two might team up again? After all, they both have experience solving cases." Senior Brother Walnut joked from the side.

"Who knows when these two might team up again; after all, both have experience solving cases." Hetaoshixiong joked from the side.

Before taking the photo, Zheng Tan glanced at the pose-striking Qi Dada, then at Heijin, who had been called over and was obediently squatting there like he was on duty. Zheng Tan thought for a moment, jumped onto a small chair, and since he was short, he needed to stand a bit higher; otherwise, when Qi Dada and Heijin came over, he would look rather puny.

To take the photo, Zheng Tan looked at the monkey striking poses, then at Heijin called over to sit obediently, looking like it was on duty. Zheng Tan thought, then jumped onto a small chair; being short, he needed to stand higher, otherwise when the monkey and Heijin came over, he'd look rather puny.

Qi Dada didn't dare stand next to Zheng Tan, so he had Heijin stand in the middle, with Zheng Tan and Qi Dada on either side. Whether he stood in the middle or on the sides, Zheng Tan didn't mind; he just needed to get through the photo shoot.

The monkey didn't dare stand next to Zheng Tan, so only Heijin stood in the middle, with Zheng Tan and the monkey on either side. Whether standing in the middle or on the sides, Zheng Tan didn't mind; just getting through the photo shoot was fine.

After returning home, Zheng Tan thought he wouldn't see that monkey again, but a few days later Peiliang brought Qi Dada over for a visit.

After returning home, Zheng Tan thought he wouldn't see that monkey again, but a few days later Peiliang brought the monkey to pay a visit.

Saying they were paying a visit, in fact Er Mao's side wouldn't let them enter the house, so they had to sit at the Jia family's place. As soon as Qi Dada stepped through Er Mao's door, Hei Mi began to bark, so Er Mao stopped worrying about anything else, prioritizing his own cat; the monkey, meanwhile, stayed outside.

Saying they came to visit, actually Er Mao's side wouldn't let them enter the house, so they had to sit at the Jiao family's place. As soon as the monkey entered Er Mao's door, Hei Mi began to bark, so Er Mao didn't bother with anything else—his own cat was priority; the monkey, well, stayed outside.

Er Mao felt sorry for his own cat, and Peiliang felt even sorrier for his own monkey; after sitting a while at Er Mao's place, they discussed it, and Er Mao would take the monkey upstairs to visit. After all, Jia's mother didn't know Peiliang.

Er Mao felt sorry for his cat; Peiliang felt even sorrier for his monkey. After sitting a while at Er Mao's place, they discussed with Er Mao, deciding that Er Mao would bring the monkey upstairs to visit. After all, Jiao Ma didn't know Peiliang.

Today is Saturday; at this time, Xiao Youzi and Jia Yuan were in their rooms doing homework. Hearing that guests had arrived, they didn't bother to get ready, but as soon as they heard there was a monkey, they dropped their pens and ran to the living room.

Today is Saturday; at this time Xiao Youzi and Jiao Yuan were in their rooms doing homework. Hearing that guests had come, they didn't bother to prepare, but as soon as they heard there was a monkey, they immediately dropped their pens and ran to the living room.

Qi Dada today wore a thin-material windbreaker; just now it was wearing a hat..

The monkey today wore a thin-material windbreaker; just now it was wearing a hat..

"I didn't take a close look earlier and thought it was a little kid!" After hearing Er Mao's introduction, Jia's mother warmly welcomed Peiliang and Qi Dada, "Too bad we don't have any bananas, and there's not much food left."

"Just now I didn't look closely, thought it was a little kid!" After hearing Er Mao's introduction, Jiao Ma warmly welcomed Peiliang and the monkey, "Too bad we have no bananas left, and not much food either."

"No need to go through all that trouble; just give it a cup of water." Peiliang quickly stopped Jia's mother, who was about to go out to buy things.

"No need to go through all that trouble; just give it a cup of water." Peiliang hurriedly stopped Jiao Ma, who was preparing to go out to buy things.

Jia's mother still washed some fruit and took it out, along with some snacks; Peiliang selectively let Qi Dada have a bit, since eating indiscriminately could upset his stomach—after all, this glutton isn't human.

Jiao Ma still washed some fruit and took it out, along with some snacks; Peiliang selectively let the monkey eat a bit, because eating indiscriminately could upset its stomach, after all this glutton isn't a person.

After Qi Dada followed Jia Yuan to his room to play with toys, only a few adults remained in the living room. Peiliang's visit had two purposes: first, to see what kind of family had raised Zheng Tan's special cat; second, to take a group photo of the three companions; and incidentally, to chat about some matters.

After the monkey followed Jiao Yuan to his room to play with toys, only a few adults remained in the living room. Today Peiliang came for two reasons: one was to visit, to see what kind of family raised this special cat Zheng Tan; the second was to take a group photo of the three little partners. Incidentally, he also wanted to talk about some things.

Peiliang took out a cigarette, preparing to smoke, but upon realizing there was a woman and two children in the house, he put it back.

Peiliang took out a cigarette, preparing to smoke, but thinking of the house with one woman and two children, he put it back again.

"It's fine, go ahead and smoke."

"It's fine, go ahead and smoke."

"No thanks. If I pull out a cigarette, Qi Dada will just waste another one of mine."

"No thanks. If I take out a cigarette, the monkey will just waste another one of mine."

"Oh. It smokes too?" Jia's mother exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh. It even smokes." Jiao Ma exclaimed in surprise.

"You bet..." Peiliang began to complain. From smoking to drinking, now he even plays cards—"this guy even has his own wardrobe. Some clothes are made by family members, some are commemorative outfits sent by production crews, and Qi Dada is full of himself; if his clothes get torn, we're not allowed to throw them away unless he himself decides they're trash. He's practically spoiled rotten by the family."

"Not really…" Peiliang began to complain. "From smoking to drinking, now it even plays cards—'this guy even has his own wardrobe. Some clothes are made by family members, some are commemorative outfits sent by the production crew; the monkey is full of itself, and if its clothes get torn we're not allowed to throw them away unless it itself discards them. It's practically spoiled rotten by the household."

This sparked Jia's mother's resonance: "Mine's the same! They've been spoiled rotten, this temper—it's bigger than a person's..."

This resonated with Jiao Ma: "Mine's the same! All spoiled rotten, this temper—bigger than a person's..."

In the room, Zheng Tan, listening

In the room, Zheng Tan, listening with perked ears: "……"

Qi Dada gets along well with the children, perhaps because he's been around kids a lot since young, unlike many cats and dogs that flee when they see troublemakers. Right now Qi Dada is bullying the two small Brazilian turtles in the tank. Whenever a turtle pokes its head out, he gives it a quick jab with his hand; when it comes out again, he jabs it again, then makes a few smug little noises. He looks like a meddlesome busybody. Jia Yuan and Xiao Youzi laugh beside him.

The monkey gets along well with the kids, perhaps because it's been around small children since young, unlike many cats and dogs that run away when they see brats. Now the monkey is bullying the two small Western tortoises in the basin. Whenever a tortoise pokes its head out, the monkey pokes it with a finger; when it comes out again, the monkey pokes again, then makes a few chirpy, smug sounds. It looks like a meddlesome hand. Jiao Yuan and Xiao Youzi laugh outright.

"Going to the capital to participate in the show?"

"Going to the capital to participate in the show?"

In the living room, Jia's mother exclaimed in surprise.

In the living room, Jiao Ma exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, the invitation went out two months ago. For this, the family has been accompanying it in preparation; my mother even bought special fabric to make a new Monkey King outfit for it, patterned after the old TV version of Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, ready to blow everyone away when the time comes. I think your cat could also go and participate; many animals that appear on the show are quite smart, and there are plenty that have been on TV, in dramas or movies—basically half-celebrities. I heard your cat has even filmed a commercial, so it's definitely qualified; you could just call to sign up."

"Yes, the invitation was sent out two months ago. For this, the family accompanied it in preparation; my mother even specially bought good fabric to make it a new Monkeys' Great Sage outfit, sewn according to the old TV version of Journey to the West's Sun Wukong, waiting to shock the audience when the time comes. I think your cat could also go participate; many animals on that show are quite smart, and there are plenty that have appeared on TV, dramas, movies, etc., counting as half‑stars. I heard your cat has also filmed ads, absolutely qualified—you can just call to sign up."

"Did you guys also sign up this way back then?" Jia's mother asked.

"Did you guys also sign up that way back then?" Jiao Ma asked.

"No," Peiliang shook his head, then started boasting about this again, "Our case is simply that the show's producers personally called to invite us; no qualification review needed, because Qi Dada has already filmed plenty of pieces and even done cameos with many stars. As for the reason behind the show's invitation, a few months ago the incident of people eating monkey brains sparked heated discussion, and the show's crew suddenly saw a cameo of Qi Dada in some TV drama, which gave them this idea—to get people to watch their words."

"No," Peiliang shook his head, and when he talked about this he began to boast: "Our case is just that the show's producers personally called to invite us; no qualification review needed, because the monkey has already filmed many pieces and even done joint shoots with many stars. As for the reason behind the show's invitation, a few months ago the incident of someone eating monkey brains sparked heated discussion, and the show's staff, after suddenly seeing a cameo of the monkey in some TV drama, came up with this idea to let people keep their mouths shut."

"Ours is the same," Jia's mother said, "When we first went to film that public service announcement, it was because of cat abuse, to draw more public attention—sigh, people these days..."

"Mine too," Jiao Ma said, "When we initially went to film that public service ad, it was because of cat abuse, to draw more public attention—sigh, people these days..."

After a while, Zheng Tan heard Jia's mother's exclamation and looked over, seeing Peiliang once again pulling out photos of Qi Dada with those celebrities to show off; even Xiao Youzi and Jia Yuan ran over to have a look.

After a while, Zheng Tan heard Jiao Ma's exclamation and looked over, seeing Peiliang again bring out the monkey's photos with those celebrities to show off; even Xiao Youzi and Jiao Yuan ran over to look.

When Peiliang left, he also left his phone number and the address of his shop, so that if the Jia family ever traveled there, they could give him a heads-up and he'd reserve a room for them, providing meals, drinks, and even a tour guide—because that place is Qi Dada's turf.

When Peiliang left, he also left his phone number and his shop's address; if the Jiao family ever goes there to travel, they just need to say in advance, and he'll reserve a room for them, providing food, drink, and even a tour guide—that place is the monkey's turf.

The episode featuring Qi Dada happened to air on Saturday as well, usually around eight o'clock in the evening; normally at that time Jia's mother would be watching dramas, but this time she made an exception, and the Jia family trio, together with Zheng Tan, all gathered in front of the TV.

The episode in which the monkey participates airs exactly on Saturday as well, usually around eight‑plus PM; normally at that time Jiao Ma would be watching dramas, but today is an exception—the Jiao family's three members, together with Zheng Tan, all gather in front of the TV.

The show had been taped earlier, and Peiliang had already brought Qi Dada back home, but its first broadcast was tonight.

The show was filmed long ago; Peiliang has already brought the monkey back home, but its first broadcast is tonight.

When he took the stage, Qi Dada wore a full Monkey King outfit, with two imitation pheasant feathers on his head, resembling about seventy to eighty percent of the Monkey King's attire from the TV version of Journey to the West. As soon as he appeared, he grabbed a prop resembling the golden staff and began dancing, twirling the stick and doing somersaults, earning applause and cheers from the audience.

When it went on stage, the monkey wore the Monkeys' Great Sage outfit, with two imitation pheasant feathers on its head, looking about seventy‑to‑eighty percent like the Sage's attire on TV's Journey to the West. As soon as it appeared, it brandished something like a "golden hoop staff," twirling the stick and doing flips, eliciting applause and cheers from the audience.

After the performance, he even bowed, showing he had not only talent but also manners.

After the performance it also bowed, showing it had talent as well as manners.

Zheng Tan couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, being a performer, when interacting with the host he always manages to shift the audience's attention from the charming host to himself."

Zheng Tan couldn't help but sigh: indeed, having acted before, when interacting with the host it always manages to shift the audience's attention from the pretty host onto itself.

Just as the host said, this is truly a "monkey spirit."

Just as the host said, this is a "monkey spirit."

There were still other talent performances to come; simple arithmetic was something many pets had demonstrated when they participated in the show, but Peiliang hadn't prepared for it to display that.

"He can dance with spears and sticks on stage, and at home he can help light the fire and cook—he's so versatile. But I still have to ask one more question: Does Qi Dada have any other talents to show?" The host, acting as if he knew nothing, asked Peiliang.

Peiliang made a gesture, thought for a moment, and said: "Then let's do an emotional reading."

The audience both on site and in front of the TV wondered how this monkey could recite poetry with feeling.

Not long after, they finally found out.

Qi Dada faced the audience, and behind it the background screen displayed: "Goose, goose, goose, bending its neck toward the sky to sing. White feathers float on green water, red webbed feet push aside the clear waves."

Peiliang read it once.

Immediately, Qi Dada followed along reading: "Ji, ji, ji, jijijijiji. Jijijiji, jijijiji."

Besides this poem, Peiliang read a few more lines of verse, and Qi Dada followed with "ji".

Although no one understood, Qi Dada's phrasing was spot on—its rhythm, tone, and inflection were all well done, making the live audience laugh outright.

Jiao Yuan stared at the TV, tossed a piece of chocolate into his mouth, and said: "I think Hei Tan could also go over and 'meow' a few lines of poetry—he'd definitely do better than Qi Dada!"

Xiao Youzi nodded in agreement.

Zheng Tan: "……" I'd rather die than go!

After the show's comedic segment, it turned sentimental. Peiliang's acting was no joke—although most of what he described were true events, it still needed some embellishment to let people feel it more deeply and understand that sense of responsibility; often treating a pet is like treating another child in the family, and while many might not grasp it, those with similar experiences nodded repeatedly.

The on‑site host also got in touch with Peiliang's home, and it was his grandmother who answered the call.

The old lady picked up the phone, and upon hearing the host's explanation, her first words were: "Qi Dada, I'm your grandma!"

The host laughed beside them and whispered: "Peiliang has been pushed to the back."

The on‑site audience also joined in the laughter.

Hearing the sound, Qi Dada looked around, found no one, and Peiliang handed it the microphone: "Come on, say a few words to Grandma."

Qi Dada snatched the phone and uttered "ji ji ah ah"; no one else could understand what it was saying, but the monkey looked extremely excited, its eyes glistening.

"Come back early after the show, and be careful on the road." Before the call ended, Peiliang's mother said that as a closing remark.

After the call, Qi Dada jumped into Peiliang's arms, and Peiliang patted its back like comforting a child: "Missing home, huh? Once we finish the show we'll go straight home."

After that, there wasn't much more about Peiliang and Qi Dada; the show was nearing its end, and the theme had to be brought up. The background screen showed photos of monkeys locked in cages, along with their uneasy and fearful gazes. This was the recent hot topic of eating monkey brains.

Jiao Ma sighed there about the recurring problem of using protected wild animals, while Zheng Tan thought, indeed, having a good backer is more reliable than anything else. (To be continued…)

ps: (4.16) Recently things are tense; some jokes, words, and descriptions are hard to write freely, so if you still see "**" and the like in the text, please bear with us.
