As the live press conference concluded, the arrest operation began.
Police cars with flashing lights started heading toward locations where traces of wildlife had been spotted.
Yang Lin, serving as the action consultant, was riding in a minibus with Lin Feng.
There was no choice - Li Goudan and his companions were simply too large to fit in regular police cars.
While Yang Lin appeared to be staring absent-mindedly out the window, he was actually viewing the scene through Li Shuangying's aerial perspective.
Under Li Shuangying's super vision, everything within a five-kilometer radius was clearly visible.
Soon, a figure near the green belt caught his attention.
Looking at its golden-brown coat and magnificent build, Yang Lin immediately recognized its identity.
An Akhal-Teke horse.
The legendary "blood-sweating" horse, one of the world's most precious horse breeds, a walking fortune, and an unattainable dream for West Rainbow Zoo.
Although Yang Lin had already discovered its whereabouts, to avoid unnecessary complications, he casually said to Lin Feng:
"Captain Lin, I just saw a comment online from someone saying they spotted a horse near their neighborhood."
"It's not far ahead in Mingzhu Garden. Should we go check it out?"
Upon hearing Yang Lin's words, Lin Feng didn't even hesitate before telling the driver:
"Contact Team One, follow me to Mingzhu Garden now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the driver turned the wheel, and several police cars immediately followed behind.
They soon arrived at the location Yang Lin had mentioned.
The Akhal-Teke horse, which had been grazing on vegetation in the green belt, immediately sensed their presence.
Before anyone could get close, it took off galloping across the road on its long legs.
Seeing this, the driver prepared to step on the gas.
But at that moment, Yang Lin suddenly spoke up.
"No! Don't drive over there, you'll just startle it again."
"In these road conditions, we'll never catch up to it by car. Let me out and give me a motorcycle."
Hearing Yang Lin's request, Lin Feng agreed without hesitation.
The next second, Yang Lin opened the door and got out with the canine team.
A police motorcycle was already waiting there.
Looking at the police motorcycle that he usually could only admire from afar, Yang Lin excitedly mounted it.
He also released the eight leashes he was holding.
"Goudan, Gousheng, take your brothers and stop that horse up ahead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eight members of the canine team shot forward like the wind.
Yang Lin immediately twisted the throttle and followed on the police motorcycle.
Seeing this scene, the nearby officers were somewhat bewildered.
"Captain, can Director Yang really catch that horse this way? Will he be safe?"
"Of course, he's right. In these road conditions, we can't effectively pursue that horse. If we don't want to hurt it, we might really need to rely on Director Yang."
While Lin Feng and the officers were discussing, Yang Lin had already ridden the police motorcycle several kilometers.
Perhaps feeling less threatened, the startled Akhal-Teke horse gradually reduced its speed.
At that moment, Li Goudan and Li Gousheng seized the opportunity during its relaxed state and surrounded it.
Even a wild Akhal-Teke horse couldn't easily escape from eight strong large dogs.
Moreover, this was a domesticated Akhal-Teke horse.
After being cornered for a while, it calmed down.
Seeing it finally contained, Yang Lin rode the motorcycle slowly to its side.
Looking at the graceful blood-sweating horse before him, Yang Lin spoke directly:
"Why are you running? No one's going to hurt you."
Hearing Yang Lin's words, the previously agitated Akhal-Teke horse looked at him in surprise.
"Why can I understand what you're saying? Are you a horse too?"
"You're the horse, I'm human."
"You can't run away anymore, or people might shoot you."
"Besides, the zoo will feed and take care of you well, so why are you running?"
Though shocked that Yang Lin could communicate with it effortlessly, the Akhal-Teke horse quickly responded to his words.
"I don't want to run either, but I'm scared, and I get carsick. I feel like throwing up whenever I'm in a car."
As it spoke, its long face showed an expression of terror.
"That's it? That's your reason for running?"
"How about this - come with me, and I'll explain your situation to them. That should work, right?"
"You don't want to keep eating these roadside plants forever, do you?"
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, the Akhal-Teke horse shook its head repeatedly.
"No more, the grass out here tastes terrible, it's not fit for horses at all. I'll go back."
"In that case, let's go."
Yang Lin was about to turn the motorcycle around to leave with the precious horse.
But looking at its athletic figure, a bold idea formed in his mind.
"Why not ride this thing back?"
Once this thought emerged, Yang Lin couldn't suppress it.
Who could resist a million-dollar blood-sweating horse?
To be honest, if he passed up this chance, he might never get another one in his lifetime.
Thinking this, Yang Lin immediately parked the borrowed police motorcycle by the roadside.
He didn't worry about it getting stolen.
After all, in all of Dragon Country, probably no one would dare steal a police motorcycle.
After parking the bike, Yang Lin wasted no time, grabbed the horse's saddle, and swung himself onto its back.
"Goudan, Gousheng, let's go!"
As soon as he spoke, Yang Lin shook the reins, and the next second, the blood-sweating horse beneath him burst forward, galloping through the empty streets.
The eight dogs followed closely behind.
Soon they found Lin Feng and the others' position.
Lin Feng's group naturally spotted Yang Lin as well.
When they saw Yang Lin riding on horseback, galloping freely with eight dogs following behind, everyone present was stunned.
Although they had expected Yang Lin might be able to recover the Akhal-Teke horse,
they never imagined it would be such a scene.
It wasn't until Yang Lin was almost upon them that a reporter accompanying the team hurriedly turned on their camera.
Soon, news of the Akhal-Teke horse's recovery was transmitted back to the operation headquarters.
Along with it went footage of Yang Lin galloping through the streets on the Akhal-Teke horse.
