Chapter 2637

The man in the windbreaker's face turned dark as iron; he secretly gave his colleagues a look, indicating that they had lost today and should retreat first to discuss later.

However, Liu Renming was still not resigned, his gaze sweeping past Jin Chen to rest on Bai Rengdong, who stood quietly in the back.

"Bai Rengdong, do you see clearly? This is that lion! It's a monster, a monster through and through! We capture monsters for the good of human society! To protect ordinary people like you!"

Bai Rengdong ignored him, stepped forward and examined Jin Chen's palm where he held the stick, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts," Jin Chen said immediately, handing it to Bai Rengdong.

He successfully obtained a kiss from his wife.

Liu Renming: "……Bai Rengdong! Ah!"

"Bullshit!" Hu Cai Cai transformed into human form and kicked him in the back with one foot.

Hu Cai Cai bent down to pick up three lifeless little rabbits, "Now the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin… Even if truly there are extremely few animals that have awakened spiritual intelligence and developed malicious intent, heavenly law and karma will handle it; it's not up to you to use this 'one rod capsizes a boat of monsters' approach, committing persecution under the guise of protecting humanity."

He raised the rabbit in his hand and sternly questioned Liu Renming, "If I'm not mistaken, these rabbits were originally just ordinary little lives that had just gained a hint of spiritual awareness, right?"

"What have they done wrong to be seized by you and turned into cruel surveillance tools? Is this what you call doing good for humanity?"

Upon hearing this, the animals glanced at the three rabbits and grew angry.

"Roar!!!"

Hu Gu let out an earth‑shaking tiger roar, slowly approached, his massive body suddenly lowering, his beast eyes fixed firmly on the Monster Management Bureau personnel.

The man in the windbreaker muttered a curse, "Damn it," knowing that no matter what, he wouldn't come out of this unscathed today.

He gave his colleagues a hand signal, intending to slip out through the garden exit in the chaos, but discovered…… the garden exit was blocked, let alone leaving the zoo.

Led by the keeper Da Niu, the logistics crew uncles held iron rods and large brooms.

Led by Xiao Li, the security team youths all held police batons.

The formation was intimidating enough to seal the garden exit completely.

Monster Management Bureau staff: "……"

What kind of tough folks are in this zoo!

From the director to the staff, from animals to humans, everyone is so fierce!

【Host，】Ling Gun Gun reports, 【This small world has few truly powerful monsters; most are merely animals that have just awakened spiritual intelligence.】

【The so‑called Monster Management Bureau is a privately founded organization; many of its members come from complex‑background research institutes, you understand.】

Hearing this, Jin Chen made a motion to swing his bamboo stick again.

All seven shouted in unison, "Wait! Don't hit!!"

The short‑haired man on the left said, "Big Brother, Lion Big Brother! Can we stop capturing? Let us go, we promise! We swear we'll never provoke any animal in your zoo again!"

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, tapped the bamboo stick against his palm, his gaze sweeping over the pallid Liu Renming before landing back on the short‑haired man.

"Do your words actually work?"

The short‑haired man shouted, "It works! The deputy director of the Monster Management Bureau is my sister‑in‑law's brother's partner's ex! I can pull strings!"

Jin Chen: "……"

He raised his bamboo stick a little higher.

"Ahhh, don't hit! Lion Grandfather! His words really work—I guarantee it! We all guarantee it!"

The man beside him also hurriedly cried out in agreement.

Bai Rengdong stepped forward, took hold of Jin Chen's hand gripping the stick, and said, "Bao Bao."

Jin Chen met Bai Rengdong's gentle gaze, and his hostility largely faded.

Well, we can't cause loss of life in a civilized modern society.

But there will always be another way to thwart them.

Jin Chen casually tossed the bamboo stick to the nearby alpaca, Tu Bao, who was watching the commotion.

Tu Bao caught it happily with his front teeth, chewing away with a crunch‑crunch, as if enjoying a tasty snack.

Jin Chen waved his hand, "Go, see these guests off."

The long‑impatient Hu Gu strode over, his over‑two‑meter frame exerting a palpable pressure.

The Monster Management Bureau staff were so frightened their legs went weak; they didn't dare linger, scrambling away on hands and knees.

As they passed the gate, the staff wielding "weapons" gave them deadly glares, making them feel utterly stifled.

They seethed inside, resolved to file a report immediately upon returning, permanently canceling any further investigation of this sinister zoo.

Whoever wants to come can come! Anyway, they're not coming back!

Seeing that lot disappear, Da Niu finally relaxed and called out the other staff who had been hiding.

Su Ning rushed over to Jin Chen and Hu Cai Cai in shock, "Good heavens! You couldn't be…… Xiao Baiyu and Hu Cai Cai, could you?"

Jin Chen already had his arm around Bai Rendong's waist; hearing that, he nodded and openly admitted, "Mm."

Amu hissed at the sound, "Wait… you two, I swear, Xiao Baiyu, you're the director's boyfriend!"

Jin Chen's admission grew more firm: "Yes!"

Hu Cai Cai, annoyed, lightly kicked Hu Gu's swaying tail with her toe, "Stupid tiger."

Hu Gu let out a low roar; his massive body was enveloped in a soft light, and when the light faded, a youth nearly two meters tall, wild and handsome, stood where he had been.

Hu Gu slung his arm around the keeper's shoulders in a brotherly way, his voice booming, "Amu! It's me! Tiger!"

Amu: "……"

Qiao Mai also looked surprised at the other animals, "You… you can also turn into human form?"

Hu Cai Cai explained, "No, for now only we three can stably transform in the park."

"The other animals have merely awakened their spiritual intellect; they are smarter than ordinary animals, but they are not yet considered monsters."

Qiao Mai bent over, picked up the purple marten that had come over to rub against him, and stroked its smooth fur.

The employees' acceptance was far better than Bai Rendong had expected; he had originally worried that everyone would find it hard to accept, but now it seems he was overthinking.

But thinking about it, besides Qiao Mai, the other employees have been staying here longer than Bai Rongdong.

After experiencing the initial shock, Amu's adaptability was astonishing; he has already started chatting with the transformed Hu Gu.

Hu Gu complained, "Amu, could you give me more meat next time? Each time you give just a little, I can't get enough."

Amu's face darkened. "Buddy, how can you even say that? Every time you're full you just lie there napping; visitors aren't here to watch you sleep."

Hu Gu gave an embarrassed hehe laugh twice and promised, "I'll pay attention next time—I'll get up and stroll around after I'm full."

After being 'appreciated' by the seventh staff member, Jin Chen impatiently embraced Bai Rongdong from behind and complained, "I'm a lion, not a monkey—let's go back and rest."

He then added, "Fighting wears me out—I might have sustained internal injuries."

Bai Rongdong immediately worried, "What should we do? I'll let Su Xiao—" "Just go back and kiss me; a kiss cures all ills."

Bai Rongdong smiled and whispered, "Alright."
