Chapter 238: Giant Panda Mi Tuan

Bang bang bang…

Xu Jing and the others jumped repeatedly on the soft soil.

Finally the board was stepped on and held firm.

By then the sky was already dark.

Liu Erwa and Duan Fei dismantled a bamboo hut, piled the bamboo at the burial site, and set it alight.

Soon, a huge pile of bonfires ignited.

Zhao Xiaoyang carried a chair and placed it in front of the fire.

Lin Feng sat down, took out a cigarette pack, and gave each man present one.

Xu Jing, Li Tai and Yan Xiong's hands trembled as they took the cigarettes from Lin Feng.

Even murder on the execution ground is one thing; they are criminals.

The seventeen human traffickers who were just buried alive, though deserving death, were never tried.

Legally speaking, these are all suspects.

They don't know that Lin Feng previously, in Xiangjiang, killed several hundred Society People in one go.

"Instructor, instructor, this guy is breaking the law!"

Li Tai said, trembling.

They are only now learning what lawlessness means.

In the past they raced cars on the road, led hordes of subordinates to bully people, stole other people's girlfriends… all that, compared to Lin Feng, is nothing.

Lin Feng laughed, "Did I dig the pit? Did I bury the people?"

"No, no!"

Li Tai shook his head and said.

Yan Xiong said beside them, "But you said that after digging a pit, you buried everyone alive."

Zhao Xiaoyang laughed, "My brother was talking about mice, he didn't have you bury people. When you were burying people, did my brother hold a gun and force you?"

"Damn!"

Xu Jing jumped up.

It can still be like this!

Zhao Xiaoyang continued, "So this matter has nothing to do with my brother at all."

As soon as the words finished, Xu Jing, Li Tai and Yan Xiong's legs went weak; Yan Xiong even fell and sat on the ground.

He seemed to feel a pair of handcuffs already hovering above his head.

Lin Feng laughed, "Alright, alright! Not teasing you any more. What big deal is that? You'll see many more things in the future!"

Liu Erwa took fresh lamb from their bag, sprinkled seasoning, and began to roast it over the fire.

Buried beneath the ground is a 'beggar's chicken', and on top sizzles oily lamb.

Xu Jing and the others felt discomfort in their stomachs.

Liu Cangyun sliced the lamb with a small knife, placed the pieces on a paper plate, and handed them to Lin Feng.

Watching Lin Feng sip from a small bottle of Alcohol and eat the roasted lamb, Xu Jing, Li Tai, Yan Xiong and Yu Xiaomeng called him "Great Demon King" in their hearts.

Lin Feng laughed, "When we get back, I'll give you an explanation! Say that after the Special Police Brigade left, the seventeen people had already broken free of the ropes.

Then, after a hard‑fought battle, we accidentally killed those people, leaving only one wounded, and found a crime record book. What do you think of this story?"

Actually, what Xu Jing and the others are tangled over is how to explain it after we return.

Now there is finally an explanation.

Xu Jing kept nodding.

Lin Feng laughed, "Don't worry! No one will ask where those people went or how we dealt with them; we obtained the most important crime evidence and list. That's already a great achievement."

On the afternoon of December 9, Lin Feng returned to Shu Capital.

Detachment Captain Liu had already arrived, took the record book documenting crime evidence from Lin Feng's hand.

"Where are the suspects?"

Detachment Captain Liu flipped through it and asked.

Lin Feng said helplessly, "During the interrogation, we accidentally killed them."

Detachment Captain Liu said nothing, took the record book and left.

There are many people to capture next, and many to rescue.

In a farmhouse courtyard on the outskirts of Shu Capital, Lin Feng met Song Jiaren.

And the giant panda that came back with him.

Several professional panda caretakers had already arrived.

The giant panda is a national treasure!

However, aside from Song Jiaren, this wild giant panda is not allowed to be touched.

A sheet of plastic was spread on the courtyard.

The giant panda sat, gnawing a fresh tender bamboo shoot.

Song Jiaren crouched beside the giant panda, eyes wide as she stared at it.

Han Xiang was also among those present.

Han Xiang's eyes were full of worry, fearing the panda might hurt Song Jiaren.

But clearly her worry was unnecessary.

Song Jiaren occasionally scratched the panda's body and tugged its ears.

The giant panda remained aloof, focused on eating the tender bamboo.

When she saw Lin Feng, Song Jiaren ran toward him, her face lit with surprise and joy.

She then leapt into his arms.

"Dad! I'm afraid I'll never see you again!"

After saying that, Song Jiaren's tears flowed uncontrollably.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Silly girl, even if I hadn't saved you, you'd have escaped the bad guys yourself, right? Jiaren, you're the bravest and smartest child!"

Upon receiving Lin Feng's praise, Song Jiaren stopped crying and smiled.

The two keepers stepped forward, but the giant panda raised its paws, not letting them approach.

Then it crawled up to Lin Feng and looked at Song Jiaren.

Lin Feng set Song Jiaren down.

Song Jiaren put her arms around the panda's neck and told Lin Feng, "I gave the panda a name; I call her Rice Ball."

No sooner had she spoken than a keeper said, "This is a female giant panda."

Song Jiaren looked pleadingly at Lin Feng and said, "Dad, can we bring Rice Ball home?"

Lin Feng wore a troubled expression and said, "You still have school; you can't possibly keep Rice Ball locked up at home, can you?"

Actually, Lin Feng had originally wanted to tell Song Jiaren that private keeping of giant pandas is not allowed.

"No! I want Rice Ball! Rice Ball saved me!"

Song Jiaren threw a childish tantrum.

Han Xiang walked over, frowned, and told Song Jiaren, "Be obedient, let Rice Ball go! She's a wild giant panda and cannot be kept at home."

Song Jiaren said, "But Rice Ball is often hungry, she spends all day looking for food! I don't want her to go hungry again; I promised her that before I came out!"

"What should we do then?"

Lin Feng muttered.

Song Jiaren looked at Lin Feng with anticipation.

Lin Feng turned to the several keepers—actually the staff sent by the Giant Panda Administration—and asked, "Can we keep a panda at home?"

One of them spread his hands, making a "What do you say?" expression.

"This is going to be tough!"

Lin Feng thought for a moment, then brightened and said, "How about I spend money to build a special panda park in Yanjing, cover all of Rice Ball's expenses myself, and have your staff take care of Rice Ball."

"You choose the site for the park, and if there are other pandas later, they can also be sent to the panda park..."

After Lin Feng finished, the staff member's eyes lit up and asked, "Mr. Lin, how much are you prepared to invest?"

Investing in building a panda breeding base is no small sum.

Lin Feng held up one finger and said, "How about a hundred million US dollars?"

The responsible staffer first stared in surprise, then broke into a delighted smile and said, "Mr. Lin, thank you so much! Thank you for making a huge contribution to giant panda conservation!"

Lin Feng turned to Song Jiaren and said, "Jiaren, are you satisfied now? From now on, whenever you're on vacation you can come see Rice Ball, and Rice Ball won't have to go hungry anymore."

"Thank you, Dad! Daddy, kiss!"

Song Jiaren exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Feng squatted down, Song Jiaren hugged his head, and planted a kiss on his face.

At that moment, Lin Feng saw the old book Song Jiaren had tucked in her bosom...
