In Dragon Country, everyone has a natural reverence for police officers, and Yang Lin is no exception.
Having just dealt with them last night, they've now shown up at his door, making it difficult not to assume the worst.
Of course, he wasn't the only one thinking this way; even the visitors in the park shared similar thoughts.
"Wow, what did the zoo director do to have the police come looking for him?"
"He must have done something shady, like illegal animal trafficking?"
"Not necessarily, could be something else entirely."
"Let's follow and see what happens. Hope the director's okay, and hopefully whatever it is won't affect the animals."
"Right, it doesn't matter if the director gets arrested as long as the animals are safe."
"I'm really growing more and more fond of the animals in this zoo."
"Then you must be crazy."
...
Surrounded by curious visitors, Yang Lin anxiously made his way to the zoo entrance.
Immediately, several police cars with flashing lights appeared before him.
Besides the police vehicles, there were also dozens of media reporters carrying various professional equipment.
"They can't really be here to arrest me, right? Why such a big show? Are those reporters from the law enforcement channel?"
Just as Yang Lin was pondering this, a familiar figure appeared before him.
"Director Yang, we meet again."
It was none other than Squad Leader Lin Feng from last night's operation, still sporting dark circles under his eyes but looking quite excited.
Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Yang Lin instinctively held out both hands.
However, instead of cold handcuffs, he was met with a firm handshake.
"Director Yang, we really owe you our thanks."
"After a night of interrogation, we successfully cracked this major international animal smuggling case spanning multiple countries."
"Without you, we might never have detected their presence in Ningnan, let alone captured their leaders."
"You deserve top honors for helping solve this case!"
Lin Feng then gestured to a nearby officer to come forward.
When the officer approached, Yang Lin noticed he was holding a commemorative banner and a small box.
"With unanimous approval from above, we've not only processed your full reward money but also nominated you for Ningnan's first Model Citizen Award."
"Here's your banner and medal."
Lin Feng then presented both items to Yang Lin.
The spectating visitors, who had initially gathered to witness potential drama, quickly realized their mistake.
They had assumed Yang Lin had done something wrong to warrant police attention.
Now it was clear that far from wrongdoing, he had done something commendable.
However, their conversation left many visitors confused.
What international smuggling? What leaders? Yang Lin was just a zoo director - how did he get involved in such a major international case?
As people pondered these questions, Lin Feng gathered the reporters.
Taking a microphone from one of them, he announced loudly:
"Greetings to all visitors from across the country, thank you for visiting Ningnan."
"I am Lin Feng, captain of Ningnan's Criminal Police Squad. We're here today to commend West Rainbow Zoo's Director Yang Lin for his significant contributions to Ningnan and indeed all of Dragon Country."
"Just yesterday, a ruthless gang of poachers entered Ningnan..."
...
As Lin Feng narrated the events, the crowd quickly pieced together what had happened the previous night.
When people heard how Yang Lin had single-handedly captured the poaching gang's leader and accomplices, the scene erupted in applause.
"Holy cow, who would've thought the director was such a badass, taking down seven armed poachers by himself!"
"No wonder all the animals are so well-behaved around him - it's not persuasion, it's intimidation!"
"Well, he runs a zoo, so it makes sense he'd learn some animal-style kung fu, like monkey style or tiger style."
"You know nothing, the director probably practices turtle style kung fu."
"Watch out, or he might throw you into the tiger enclosure."
"Is he really that skilled? One against seven armed men?"
...
As the crowd continued their discussion, Yang Lin, holding the medal and banner, stepped forward.
"As someone who works with animals, protecting wildlife is my duty."
"But I want to say that capturing those poachers wasn't just my achievement."
After finishing his words, he called out to the distance, much to the visitors' confusion.
"Goudan, Gousheng, all of you come here!"
Following his call, a chorus of barking echoed through the park.
Moments later, to everyone's amazement, Li Goudan and Li Gousheng led the rest of the canine patrol team trotting over.
When they reached Yang Lin, they promptly sat in an orderly row.
"Actually, I was only able to subdue those poachers yesterday thanks to their help."
"These brave dogs were the ones who really took down the poachers."
Hearing this, the crowd turned their astonished gaze to the canine patrol members.
They had assumed these dogs were just for show and entertainment.
They never imagined they could capture dangerous poachers.
To convince the skeptical crowd, Yang Lin commanded the dogs to perform various advanced maneuvers.
Only then did the visitors realize that these seemingly playful dogs were actually as formidable as wild wolves in combat, which explained how they could overcome the poachers.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng watched the dogs' performance with growing interest.
After their demonstration, he approached Yang Lin eagerly.
"Director Yang, I never expected the canine patrol to be the real heroes. Given how exceptional they are, have you considered finding them a part-time job?"
"Part-time?" Yang Lin was momentarily confused by Lin Feng's suggestion.
"I mean as police dogs. They'd be on government payroll with monthly allowances. Our police force really needs dogs like these."
"What? You mean you want my dogs to get jobs? And I'd be living off them?"
Finally, Yang Lin understood Lin Feng's meaning - this was about moving from private sector to public service.
Regular dogs rarely get such opportunities.
He himself hadn't managed to secure a government position after graduation, yet these dogs might beat him to it.
Of course, Yang Lin had no intention of letting the canine patrol become police dogs, not out of concern for them, but for the police officers.
These clever rascals would probably manipulate other police dogs to take the lead in dangerous situations, potentially throwing the entire police force into chaos.
If they were sent back after that, it would be quite the embarrassment.
Just when Yang Lin thought things couldn't get more surprising, a reporter with a microphone suddenly asked:
"Director Yang, would you be interested in having these dogs debut in show business?"

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
