after a moment’s thought, he still ran into the crescent-shaped building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. Chen Zhiyu treated me to a big meal—I absolutely can’t cut her power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Better to spend some time going to the surveillance room and rebooting the pet park’s main server.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although An Sheng was no seasoned criminal, he’d spent plenty of free time browsing murder case breakdowns on the Yinfu platform, so he understood perfectly well the importance of minimizing eyewitnesses during a crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pet park might have security guards; An Sheng’s first thought had been to cut their power, create chaos inside, then slip in and fish for the crocodile during the confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after arriving at the pet park and seeing the lights on the second, third, and fourth floors, he hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second, third, and fourth floors were breeding zones, housing not only tropical pets but also cold-water fish and small animals requiring constant low temperatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cutting the pet park’s power for a short while might be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it lasted too long, accidents could happen—he’d just had a big meal courtesy of Chen Zhiyu that noon; cutting her power made An Sheng feel a twinge of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his only goal was to find the giant crocodile’s lair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fulfilling Chen Zhiyu’s condition simply meant making the suspected spirit beast crocodile disappear—there were no strict rules on how to make it vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng had originally planned to punch the crocodile’s mouth sideways and show it who was boss of Changping Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mountain was under the protection of Fuli Lao Ye; all life on it—including the pet park—was his private property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after hearing the conversation between Lin Ying and the Lin Patriarch tonight, An Sheng’s thoughts had shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That crocodile\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>could serve as Lin Ying’s door opener.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lin Patriarch had been very clear: the Lin family avoids spirit beasts for two reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, spirit beasts are extremely dangerous; ordinary people have no chance against them without heavy weaponry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, besides pharmaceuticals, daily goods, and shipping, the Lin family could easily engage in smuggling—if they secretly gathered large-scale intelligence on spirit beasts, it might trigger serious misunderstandings and damage the Lin family’s reputation in Xia Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher-ups might not have meant it, but the Lin family had to make the safest possible decision—the Lin family of Xia Country could not afford failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lin Patriarch’s emphasis was precisely on these two points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lin family Lin Ying belonged to had none of the martial vigor found in other Lin clans; for him or his group to investigate spirit beasts would be a major safety incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one truly wanted to safely obtain information about spirit beasts, it was better to lend a hand to the authorities, offering whatever small help one could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lin Patriarch clearly knew a great deal about spirit beasts and other hidden matters; if he advised Lin Ying this way, he must have his own reasons and intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying was a very pitiful good person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng’s attitude toward Lin Ying was simple: if he could help, he would; if he couldn’t, there was nothing he could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he’d been constantly opening her fridge, stealing foreign ham and seafood, often taking more than he ate—he felt a little ashamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying let him play with her phone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she even helped him clear his shopping cart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s a good person; the fox is naturally a good fox!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Changping Pet Park surveillance room, An Sheng stood upright, leaning on the control panel, humming a tune as he calmly shut down the park’s surveillance cameras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming all cameras were off, An Sheng ran to the second floor, picked up a brick, smashed a glass panel to create a huge noise, then fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, Sister Zhiyu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But don’t worry—whenever I have free time, I’ll pester Aqing to take me here to spend money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I have to pay with my body, I’ll groom you for free.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng muttered to himself as he dashed out of the building and sprinted straight up Changping Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the pet park was empty—though the lights on the second, third, and fourth floors stayed on, they were mostly heating lamps or equipment indicators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire pet park had only Chen Zhiyu on the rooftop, drinking the wind with a compound bow and a shotgun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, An Sheng didn’t know about those things—he was already back on Changping Mountain, swiftly moving through the forest to catch the wild boar he’d found earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmmmm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon returning to the mountain, An Sheng paused to greet Lin Ying, scanning the surroundings to ensure no wild animals were approaching her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying wasn’t just a good person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also held the fate of Driver Xiao Lin’s job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you back?” Lin Ying’s expressionless face showed a flicker of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I cut their power, set up the bait—I couldn’t bring the fishing lure earlier.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng typed the next line on his phone, then turned and sprinted into the dense forest, standing upright while holding a massive wild boar—knocked out, legs in the air—and carried it toward the foot of the mountain and the Changping Pet Park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying froze, a strange expression briefly crossing her otherwise calm face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she’d been half-dead from hunger, had Fuli Lao Ye carried her off to eat…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it done the same way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuli Lao Ye was far too practiced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Lin Ying hadn’t guessed wrong—An Sheng had carried her exactly like this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if Lin Ying faced downward, An Sheng would bump his head while dragging her, and her front was too soft to grip properly—he’d held her back with one hand and her waist with the other, transporting her like a folded smartphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng hurled the wild boar over the electric fence, then leapt powerfully to the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go! Sacred bait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hit me with a direct soul strike!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng threw with all his strength, sending the wild boar into Jianghe River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, the boar woke up, grunting loudly, swimming back toward the riverbank at astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wild boars can swim!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they swim shockingly fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng punched the boar, picked it up again, and hurled it straight back into Jianghe River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng wore a confident grin—this boar was the one he’d carefully selected as the most provocative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its pungent odor and this massive disturbance, it perfectly mimicked a wild animal accidentally falling into water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, if that crocodile was downstream, it would definitely be drawn in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then it was just normal air fishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fishermen spend tens of thousands on gear and still don’t catch fish—I don’t even have a fishing rod; not catching a crocodile is perfectly normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boar swam back again; when it saw Fuli Lao Ye, its face twisted in furious despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hss—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before An Sheng could throw it back, the massive boar turned, took a short running leap, and jumped into the river on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the next scene stunned An Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two-hundred-pound wild boar had excellent jumping power; as it hit the river, it was like a depth charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boar struck the water precisely on a shadow that resembled a solitary boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow had been silently gliding along the riverbank, unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its target—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was clearly the little fox by the riverbank!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1269,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.017Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","cdd1f54b4aac3f6da8ad3dc27ffb945c570f2ea34d6e167cc41260460fb8ff33","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-65","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-63",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
