Chapter 98

The three lone tigers in the cage: "!!!"

Who's the little tiger, you little human saying who? We are golden bachelors!

If it weren't to maintain the surprise, I would have long ago given him a performance of ascending to heaven on the spot; of course, it's them helping him ascend.

Now it's no different either.

Amid countless people's expectations, the sky-blue cage cloth fell completely; the host, seeing the frozen movements of the crowd below, must have been utterly shocked by the goods they provided, right?

He gave a brilliant smile and asked the audience below: "Are you all very surprised?"

Just then, he suddenly heard heavy breathing behind him, as if a huge beast were right next to him.

But how could that be? The host turned his head, and a huge, Tile Hill-sized, colorful tiger's head appeared before his eyes, the wet tiger nose touching his nostrils, copper-bell-sized tiger eyes!

Hu Da curled the corners of his mouth, opened his bloody maw: "Roar!!!"

"Hello, human!"

The deafening roar directly confronted the host; in an instant, the man's hair exploded, his enlarged pupils reflecting a huge tiger head!

He didn't move a muscle.

Hu Da: "???"

Such a bold human, not even afraid of the tiger, it suspiciously raised its paw and poked the man's shoulder; with a bang, the man collapsed flat on the ground, completely unconscious.

This sound was like the death god's knell; below the platform, the frozen crowd finally reacted, their terrified eyes reflecting a vigorous beast in the cage, the huge beast cage couldn't contain it, and the door was kicked open!

"Ahhhh!! Save me!"

Someone let out a shout; the guests who had been chatting and laughing lost all decorum, scrambling to flee for their lives.

"Puleng~"

This is the sound of a crane flapping its wings and flying high, while the gate was blocked by a few leaps of the lioness queen!

A group of humans were completely caught like turtles in a jar by the animals; just a few minutes ago, they were still communicating from a position of superiority, pointing and judging the animals; now, the positions of hunter and prey have been completely reversed.

"Roar roar roar!"

Hu Da led his lackeys in a leap down from the platform; wherever this pack of beasts landed, the crowd would scatter and burst apart like a flower.

Shrill screams and beast roars mixed together; the chaotic scene was filled with terrified faces; Li Jiang immediately chose to flee, hiding if he couldn't run.

A leopard lunged at him; he instinctively grabbed the woman beside him, who turned pale with fright: "Ahhhh let me go!"

A Cartier nail bracelet flashed in the light; the woman shoved back against the leopard's claws, terrified to the point of losing her voice.

In the next moment, her skin touched a warm paw pad; the leopard opened its maw and roared; she screamed and collapsed limp to the ground, tears streaming down.

"Don't eat me, don't eat me, ahhhh! Please, don't eat me!"

She lay on the ground, hands over her head, eyes shut, tears streaming, vowing in her heart never to buy or sell wild animals again in her lifetime.

Seeing the woman so frightened she couldn't lift her head, the mighty leopard from moments ago tilted its head: "Yue~"

It's about to vomit!

What smell do humans have? The keen-nosed leopard would be drowned by perfume!

All kinds of chemicals marinated into flavor; the leopard couldn't stand it! Never mind having promised the boss earlier; even if it could hurt people, it wouldn't want to bite—it's just too foul!

Over here, the panicked Li Jiang fleeing in the crowd, the rampaging beasts filled him with utter terror as his eyes searched the crowd.

Suddenly, he saw a sturdy figure with its back to him, the surrounding area a vacuum.

Li Jiang's eyes lit up at once; this person was definitely capable; he rushed over: "Protect me! Quickly protect me; after this is done, I'll give you ten million, no, twenty million!"

The person with its back to him suddenly moved; Li Jiang overjoyed, he didn't hesitate to risk his life, grabbing that person's arm—thick and long, and even a bit furry?

He turned his head, took off the hat on his head, and grinned at him: "Roar roar roar!"

"Twenty million? Take a good look at what I am!"

Li Jiang: "!!!"

In an instant, cold sweat poured from his whole body; he fearfully stared at that furry beast face, wishing he could faint right then—it would be better than now.

That was actually a bear wearing clothes!

The brown bear Xiongxi looked at him, then suddenly lifted its big paw and hoisted him up like a chick, looking toward the nearby roaring brown bear Qian Qian: "Qian Qian, look what I brought you!"

This stupid human actually wanted to pay me to be a bodyguard just now; I am a bear, a state-protected animal, the state feeds me—what use is money?!

"What a big idiot!"

Unexpectedly, Qian Qian swiped a claw to pull off the boss Li's mask, furious and glaring at him, about to strike—his head would explode like a watermelon—when the brown bear Xiongxi blocked it: "Qian Qian?"

Qian Qian roared, bellowing: "It's you! It's you, you bastard who sold me!"

The brown bear Xiongxi had only been with the circus for a short time; a circus staff member had scolded it, so it never had time to see the boss; it never expected to see him now.

Xiongxi slapped him down with a paw; Li Jiang stared wide-eyed in terror as a huge butt was about to press onto his face: "Ahhhhh!! Don't come over——"

The sound cut off abruptly.

His face twisted as he flailed his limbs, finally losing consciousness completely.

"Qian Qian, look, I helped you get revenge!"

The brown bear Qian Qian gave him a glare: "Don't meddle!"

Immediately, they fell into a melee.

The underground trade fair seemed utter chaos, with the released beasts running wild, but in fact it hadn't harmed these people; it was just teasing them, letting them feel fear, ideally scaring them into wetting their pants so they'd never dare bully animals again in this lifetime.

On the table, the lively monkey Manman sat, slowly eating a peeled banana; likewise, beside it was a goat chewing a big apple: "This apple is really big and sweet!"

Manman said: "That's right, these people are either rich or noble; they'd definitely spend big money on things."

As they chatted, the table beneath it suddenly shook; the monkey lowered its head, a man lifted the tablecloth, about to peek, when he suddenly came face-to-face with an enormously enlarged monkey face, screamed, and fainted outright.

Manman: "……"

Good heavens, it was just taking a look; who knew he was so weak! So easily frightened!

"Click——"

The cage holding the Eastern sea hawk was knocked, the Eastern sea hawk inside the cage jolted, surprisedly looking at the woman outside the cage, its large wings flapped, but the drug's effect hadn't worn off, so it could only weakly struggle for a moment.

What are you doing?

Ling Yue had already dropped her disguise, staring fixedly at it: "I just want to save you, you will be saved. The police will be here soon."

Saying this, Ling Yue took out the prepared special-effect medicine and threw it over: "This is the antidote; bite it open and swallow it, and within a few minutes the drug's effect will wear off."

She said that and rushed to another counter, not seeing the Eastern sea hawk's shocked gaze behind her; if it hadn't misheard, humans were speaking to it?

"How could a human possibly understand beast language?" it muttered to itself.

Hey, brother, how are you?

Tiger Little Three leapt onto the counter in one bound, grinning at the Eastern sea hawk; the latter's head went numb, and in an instant it no longer hesitated, directly biting open the small medicine packet and swallowing it.

The social tiger Little Three looked at it: "Long time no see, brother, have you missed me?"

As it spoke, its tiger head almost reached into the cage, its voice light and attitude warm, making the Eastern sea hawk's head buzz.

"Don't not speak, do you know that pretty older sister just now? She's our zoo director; you wouldn't know coming from the countryside, but our director can understand animal speech, and the special-effect medicine she just gave you will definitely not harm you!"

The chattering tiger Little Three was about to pat its chest in assurance, but the Eastern sea hawk inside the cage paid it no mind, seeming to close its eyes and rest.

Actually, it was practically going mad! It was about to go crazy!

Whose tiger chatters on and on like this? It's simply a freak!

Can you leave me?

The Eastern sea hawk looked at it despairingly; it paused: "Wow, you can actually speak?"

"Not for now, oh; once the police uncle arrives, we'll be taken back to the zoo, you'll likely be elsewhere, and then we'll be separated."

Tiger Little Three wagged its tail, walking back and forth on the counter, watching its friends wreak havoc, scaring these despicable bad people stiff! Making them dare not harm animals again!

Over here, Ling Yue had already called the police; these people are being guarded by the animals, ensuring none of them can escape!

After leaving, she went to the storage counter and comforted each one individually, perhaps to warm up the atmosphere beforehand; these were all small animals.

Ling Yue's gaze fell on one cage of green birds; the little guy was especially frightened, curling into a ball of cyan-blue fluff, not daring to open its eyes.

Noticing Ling Yue picking up the cage, the youngest sister burst into tears: "Wuwuwuwu don't pull Qiuqiu's feathers, I'm scared, it hurts..."

"Sister, sister, I'm scared, wuwuwu..."

The eldest little green bird strained to spread its wings, standing in front of its younger siblings, its mung-bean-sized eyes fixed on her: "If you're going to pull feathers, pull mine; I'm almost grown, don't hurt my younger siblings!"

"You can't come any closer; if you get nearer… I'll peck you! I will definitely peck you!"

Green birds live by streams and lakes, liking water; they usually eat only small insects and such, their beaks are very small and delicate, as cute as the whole bird, and the force of their pecks on people is actually not painful.

So Ling Yue could be certain that this green bird was putting on a fierce front; in reality it was fierce outwardly but weak within.

As usual, seeing the little bird completely puff up into a fluffy blue ball, adorable to the point of exploding with cuteness, she would normally tease it, but now Ling Yue could only sigh softly: "Are you Qiuqiu's sister? What's your name?"

The little green bird guarding its siblings startled: "You, you how do you know?"

It reacted, shaking its head: "No, how can you understand our speech? You're not human?"

Ling Yue: "..."

"How many times is this? She admits understanding beast language is indeed special, but you can't expel me from humanity, can you?"

Ling Yue explained, speaking softly: "Don't worry, I won't pull your feathers; you're a state-protected animal, and the police will come to rescue you soon!"

"If you don't believe me, look around."

The little green bird turned its head to look all around, and instantly froze.

Its mung-bean-sized dark, shiny little eyes burst with intense light: "What's going on?"

Its wings instinctively shielded its body; behind it, the younger siblings curiously watched the chaotic scene, their little eyes blinking, speaking in a soft, childish voice: "Sister, so many, so many, so many big animals!"

"They're so amazing."

Ling Yue bent down, level with the few little cuties: "That's why I said the police uncle will come to rescue you; these are bad people, they've hurt you, but there are also good people who want to protect you; soon, you'll be safe."

The little green bird sister looked at her doubtfully, then tilted its head: "Really?"

Ling Yue: "Just look, and you'll see."

Cheers came from behind it.

The younger siblings saw the animals variously threatening humans, trembling with fear, then instantly excitedly jumped to their sister's side.

"Great! Big tiger, quickly smack him, bad people, bad people are going to be defeated!"

The big tiger slapped them down one by one, just like bouncing a basketball, using only a fraction of force in restraint; this is what it learned in zoo training to control strength, making humans feel intense pain without actually injuring them!

"Ahhh, so awesome, so awesome!"

"Sister, quick look, that bastard boss… hahaha he's crying from fright!"

Qian Qian threw a punch, and the chubby bad boss immediately got a bruised nose and swollen face; a big man, he was beaten to the point of crying for his mother, tragic yet comical.

Serves them right!

The little green bird looked carefully, turned its head toward Ling Yue, suddenly fluttered its wings, and flew to her: "Thank you."

Ling Yue smiled slightly: "Not just me, there's also the police uncle."

As her words fell, the door was suddenly kicked open heavily; the guarding lioness Lily reacted instantly, leaping aside, while the wailing crowd lay on the ground, and the moment the door opened, their eyes lit up.

Help has arrived!

Risking their lives, they surged forward; in the next instant, the smiles on everyone's faces froze, and they stared in terror at the pitch-black gun barrels.

Police in uniform aimed their guns at them; it turned out that what they had been waiting for was not reinforcements, but their nemesis!

The police seeing this scene were also incredulous.

Cheng Ziming swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and at a glance saw the cleanest kid in the crowd—who else could it be but Ling Yue? Aside from her, basically everyone had been beaten up by the animals, at most getting a bloody nose, not fatal, but extremely painful!

These pampered big bosses, the upper-class elite, had their masks ripped off one by one, the covering cloth torn away; perhaps some were still recognizable, but now they were completely exposed before the public.

At that moment, footsteps sounded; Lin Shaoze swept his gaze over the miserable crowd, his eyes passing over the obediently crouched beasts and landing on the sole standing Ling Yue; he clenched his jaw: "What are you standing there for? Arrest them all!"

A forestry bureau worker on secondment stared in shock at the beasts: "Brown bear? Crane? Hawk?"

After flipping through Monkey Manman's collected record book and reviewing the on-site surveillance, their face could no longer be described as ugly, they said through gritted teeth: "These are all state-protected animals; how dare they illegally buy and sell them? And even eat bear paws? Soak them in medicinal liquor?"

The number of animals here is huge, and most of them are state first-class protected animals; it can be said that, apart from the national treasure panda, all kinds of birds and beasts are present!

One can imagine what awaits them.

As for the officers participating in this operation, they were half happy, half confused—wasn't this supposed to be the country's biggest smuggling ring? What's going on? Aside from some initial difficulties, they were caught in a flash.

It's practically easier than catching a thief; thieves run, but these big fish can't escape at all.

Cheng Ziming and a few colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Brigade exchanged smiles, then when they looked at Ling Yue, their gazes completely changed—this wasn't a person, it was clearly a golden thigh! A shining golden thigh!

Because this was a secret operation, only very few people knew; the police team cooperated with Ling Yue, deploying three well-trained animal undercover agents, and relying on this, they joined forces with other animals to give all the criminals an unpleasant surprise!

The guests involved in the illegal wildlife trade looked utterly dejected, each wearing a "silver bracelet," looking exactly like eggplants beaten by frost.

But who could they blame? The state has its laws, the family its rules; they chose the evil path themselves and should bear responsibility for their sins.

Just then, a sudden exclamation rang out; the staff of the Forestry Bureau stared in shock at the bent iron cage, its surface covered with a layer of sharp barbs flashing a cold, menacing light, by now stained with mottled red blood.

A pure white sea eagle, as swift as lightning, let out a fierce cry to the heavens and was about to burst out of the room, flying toward the blue sky!

The staff turned pale with fright; Ling Yue was even more stunned for a moment, keenly noticing its slightly curled wing, and she immediately shouted: "Do you want to go home?"

The sea eagle hesitated, perching on the ceiling chandelier; seeing its state, Ling Yue pressed on: "Do you know how far this place is from Everwhite Mountain? Do you know the way home? Perhaps you'll encounter accidents; if captured again, could you still escape?"

The sea eagle hesitated for a moment, its sharp, knife-like gaze fixed on her, then let out a fierce cry: "What do you want to say?"

Ling Yue: "If we confirm you're unharmed, we'll send you back to Everwhite Mountain."

The sea eagle turned its head, looking at her, recalling past events, it hesitated, then suddenly heard a familiar voice and spread its wings.

Tiger Little Three widened his tiger eyes, staring in shock at it; the pristine white wings were stained with specks of blood, like blooming "red plum blossoms".

Tiger Little Three: "Oh my mother, brother, your wing is bleeding! Hurry down and tend to your wounds!"

"Otherwise, if your condition worsens, it will lead to……"

The tiger stood beside Ling Yue, hearing its roar; Ling Yue furrowed her brow and pinched its tiger mouth, and after a period of training she realized just how talkative this tiger was!

Ling Yue immediately solved the problem at its root: "Shut up; if you don't speak, no one will take you for a mute!"

Witnessing this fierce scene, Cheng Ziming hissed and suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.

Good grief, this is a woman who dares to pinch a tiger's mouth!

He glanced at the captain, noticing the captain's lip slightly curled, as if smiling……smiling?!

Cheng Ziming: QWQ

Tiger Little Three blinked his big eyes, lowering his head in a wronged manner, as if saying: "I understand."

Nobody saw it, but after witnessing this, the sea eagle's eyes flashed with surprise, then it fluttered down, staring fixedly at Ling Yue: "I'll stay."

"Human, you cannot deceive me; otherwise, I will certainly not let you go!"

As it spoke, a fierce light flashed in its eyes, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped by several degrees.

The staff couldn't help but shiver—it's only autumn, winter hasn't even arrived, why are they shivering so badly?

The matter was completely resolved; it was already past eleven at night, the police team had brought in truck after truck, the background a bit noisy, Ling Yue looked at Lin Shaoze: "I have something to say."

At that moment, Cheng Ziming suddenly came over: "Captain, Miss Ling."

Ling Yue looked at him; Cheng Ziming: "…You believe me, I really didn't do it on purpose."

Ling Yue didn't pay attention to his evasive glance, pursed her lips, thinking they had something important to discuss and preparing to find an excuse to step away, but Cheng Ziming spoke up directly: "Captain, regarding the earlier tally of the circus animals' performance list……"

That one sentence made her stay put.

Lin Shaoze's eyes flickered slightly; Cheng Ziming continued the report, in just a few sentences: "……We found all the circus animals at the underground trade fair; these animals differ from other wildlife—they cannot survive in the wild, and having been trained since childhood, they have long adapted to the human world; even if rewilded, their success rate is only one or two tenths, so their fate is a difficult matter."

Ling Yue gave a light cough.

The two turned their gazes toward her; Ling Yue: "O(∩_∩)O"

Cheng Ziming's face stiffened from holding it in; he could no longer pretend, looking at the captain: "Captain, I can't go on!"

Lin Shaoze said lightly: "After unanimous discussion among all members of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, we decided to place the final disposition of the circus animals in the Capital Zoo."

Ling Yue smiled like radiant stars.

"Thank you, Captain Lin!" She had long promised these animals; the original condition was that they help her complete her mission, and she would give them a perfect habitat.

Lin Shaoze pursed his lips, about to say something, when a car horn sounded from behind.

In the open-top truck, lioness Lily and the tigers, along with a group of small animals, lay on the exposed gaps of the fence, their glittering eyes fixed on them.

Monkey Manman sat on the goat's back, holding a large bunch of bananas, not knowing how he got them; as they passed, he suddenly offered half: "Director, want a banana?"

Ling Yue shook her head: "You eat; I still have some at home."

Monkey Manman instantly burst into laughter, then realized he was laughing too much; he covered his face, his big eyes too shy to look at Ling Yue, his bashful appearance tugging at the heartstrings.

"Creak—creak—"

A strange sound rang out.

Monkey Manman stared in shock downward; the goat chewed, then bleated in praise: "Wow, Manman, your bananas are really sweet!"

Monkey Manman: "!!!"

He shouted angrily, his voice changing tone: "You dare steal my bananas?!"

The monkey and goat started scuffling on the truck; the bored animals all laughed, truly hilarious beyond measure.

Ling Yue strained to keep her lips from curling, lest she laugh out loud.

At that moment, Tiger Hu San let out a low growl, raised his paw and waved, cheerfully saying to her: "Director, we're going home!"

Ling Yue also waved at them: "See you tomorrow!"

She turned to look at the two: "It's getting late, Captain Lin, you should rest early; good night."

Left with the two of them, Cheng Ziming furtively glanced at the captain's expressionless face, then blurted out: "Wow, Captain, you look like a legendary tool person!"

Lin Shaoze looked at him: "……"

Cheng Ziming: "I am, I am, I am the tool person!"

In the villa.

Ling Yue turned on her flashlight before heading home; she left early and returned late, and she couldn't let the little animals at home suffer like this—they were still small—

Thinking this, Ling Yue entered the villa, just opened the door, and a hurried squeaking sound squeaked into her ears: 'No, you can't do that, cut his middle lane! Quick, attack!'

'Roar!'

'What are you cutting, what are you cutting? We're not even on the same team—quickly unleash your big move, unleash your big move!'

'Squeak-squeak-squeak!'

'I'm a support, I'm a support, I'm a support! What big move are you unleashing, should I feed you milk?'

'Pa-da'

Ling Yue turned on the light with a blank expression.

On the sofa, Da Lao Hu Jun Jun and the treasure-finding mouse next to it, which was countless times larger than the little one, were almost huddled together, holding a game keyboard from who-knows-where, clacking away excitedly.

Da Lao Hu Jun Jun was using the one-finger Zen, while Xunbao Shu Duo Duo jumped all over the keyboard, wishing to use its whole body!

At that moment, a teammate's voice suddenly sounded: 'Hey wow, you two are addicted to pretending to be animals!'

'Eh-eh-eh? Why aren't you moving? What's wrong?'

Another voice followed: 'Holy shit, could it be an elementary schooler?!'

At that moment, in the villa's living room, Ling Yue stood with arms crossed, smiling charmingly as she watched the two small animals obsessed with the online game.

'You two have been busy lately.' ，，。
