"What's going on, what's going on, who's causing trouble?"
At the Tiger Garden, Yang Lin, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, immediately stepped forward and called out loudly.
Just as he finished speaking, an elegantly dressed woman said irritably:
"What's wrong with your zoo? How could there be thieves here?"
"I wasn't paying attention for just a moment, and my phone was stolen."
"Mine too, my phone is gone as well."
"My wallet was stolen too."
"What kind of terrible zoo is this? How can the security be so poor?"
"If you don't give us an explanation today, I'm going to expose you online."
"Hurry up and check the surveillance cameras! What are you standing there for?"
Following the woman's outburst, one visitor after another who had lost their belongings stepped forward, directing their anger at Yang Lin, the only staff member present.
Faced with everyone's accusations, Yang Lin couldn't help but show a bitter smile.
"I'm sorry, but our zoo's surveillance cameras have been broken for a while."
"Broken?"
The already furious visitors became even more enraged after hearing Yang Lin's response.
"How can it be such a coincidence that right when our things get stolen, your cameras are broken?"
"Yeah, the cameras are always broken at crucial moments. Could it be that someone from inside the zoo is stealing?"
"If you knew they were broken, why didn't you fix them?"
"Who knows, this kind of thing has happened before."
Seeing the visitors' comments becoming increasingly hostile, even the usually patient Yang Lin began to frown.
"The reason our cameras are broken and haven't been fixed is that I don't think our zoo needs surveillance."
"Please don't worry, it won't take long for me to find the thief."
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the hundreds of visitors present.
Finding a thief among hundreds of visitors through normal means would be nearly impossible.
But he showed no concern about this.
"Li Goudan, get over here now!"
Following Yang Lin's loud call, barking sounds immediately came from another part of the park.
Soon after, a group of dogs came running over, led by Li Goudan, who was wearing a security guard uniform.
"Boss, what's up? What do you need me to do?"
As soon as he reached Yang Lin, Li Goudan asked eagerly with a fawning attitude.
"There's a thief in the park. Visitors' belongings have been stolen, and I need you to find the thief."
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, Li Goudan's face lit up with excitement.
"A thief! Finally, a chance for our Woof Patrol to be useful!"
"Great, don't worry boss, I'll lead my brothers to catch this thief right away."
Looking at the confident Li Goudan, Yang Lin nodded slightly.
Then he turned to the female visitor who had claimed her phone was stolen and said:
"Ma'am, please take out any personal item for our Captain Li Goudan to smell."
Though confused by Yang Lin's request, the woman took off her jacket and held it out to Li Goudan.
Li Goudan just took a quick sniff and immediately nodded to Yang Lin.
Clearly, he had memorized the scent.
"Sir, please also provide one of your personal items for him to smell."
"Yes, of course."
After sniffing the scents from three theft victims, Li Goudan dove straight into the crowd.
At this moment, a young man wearing a baseball cap in the crowd suddenly became nervous.
When Li Goudan was still about ten meters away from him, he tried to quietly move in another direction.
But he quickly realized that no matter which way he moved, Li Goudan would follow.
At this point, he finally realized he had been discovered and prepared to run.
However, before he could take a step, Li Goudan started barking furiously at him.
Li Goudan's barking immediately drew the attention of all the other visitors present.
"Hey, it's barking at that person. Could he be the thief?"
"That's impossible, he doesn't look like a thief."
"What are you saying? Do thieves have a specific look?"
"I remember now, that guy was standing behind me earlier. Could he really be the thief?"
...
As people were discussing, Yang Lin, wearing a serious expression, made his way through the crowd to stand in front of the young man.
"Sir, if I were you, I'd take out everything you've stolen right now."
Hearing Yang Lin's words, the young man first panicked, then quickly composed himself.
"What makes you think I stole anything? Just because your dog barked at me a couple of times?"
"It's not even a police dog, it hasn't had professional training. What if it's wrong?"
He was clearly counting on Yang Lin not daring to search him.
But Yang Lin wasn't going to be polite about his denial.
"Li Goudan, find what's on him and make him give up!"
At Yang Lin's command, Li Goudan immediately led the Woof Patrol to surround the man.
Seeing himself surrounded by dogs, the man quickly pulled out his phone and started recording.
"If you dare let these dogs bite me, I'll post this video online."
"Setting dogs on people is illegal."
While threatening Yang Lin, he backed away toward the iron cage.
But Yang Lin remained unmoved by his threats, and the Woof Patrol dogs cared even less.
They would bite whoever Yang Lin told them to bite, and wouldn't stop unless Yang Lin ordered them to.
Seeing his threats had no effect, the young man's face showed determination.
The next moment, everyone heard him shout:
"You forced me to do this, so don't blame me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man began climbing the tiger enclosure's fence, much to the shock of the visitors.
Perhaps due to years of practice from theft, he managed to climb over the four or five-meter-high fence in just a few moves.
Seeing him fall into the enclosure, everyone present was stunned with fear.
In this situation, climbing into a tiger's cage was no different from suicide.
Obviously, he was trying to intimidate Yang Lin into giving up the pursuit through this action.
Just as he had flipped over into the enclosure, a massive figure slowly emerged from the back of the cage.
Seeing this figure, everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.
They could almost predict the horrific scene that was about to unfold.
If this young man were to be killed or injured by the tiger, West Rainbow Zoo would face closure or bankruptcy.
His action was clearly intended to create a lose-lose situation with Yang Lin.
If the tiger didn't kill him, he would be set for life.
Just as everyone was preparing to cover their eyes, Yang Lin, as the zoo director, calmly took out his keys and opened the cage door.
The next second, under countless watching eyes, he walked straight toward the magnificent beast.
