Mr. Su doesn't go online much, and the apps on his phone are all very large, with large fonts and an incredibly bright screen.

The assistant felt like his eyes were about to be blinded by the light. He tried to keep his eyes downcast. "Su Qiu, she shares the same surname as you, Qiu as in autumn."

"It seems the other party hired online trolls and bought trending topics. Several related terms are currently trending very high."

Su Yunhai does have his own account, but it's managed by a dedicated person, and he doesn't log in much himself. Following his assistant's instructions, he indeed saw his own name prominently featured at the top of the trending topics.

His expression turned somewhat grim: "Who exactly is this woman? Doesn't she have a father of her own? Why is she going around claiming to be someone else?"

This ambiguous rhetoric is designed to leave room for imagination for those who are unaware of the truth. Su Yunhai is very familiar with this tactic. Ever since Su Ji became popular, a bunch of counterfeit and copycat brands have sprung up. Some have even changed their names directly to Su Ji. If someone who frequently eats Su Ji can't read the words clearly, they might mistakenly think that this is the genuine Su Ji.

Su Yunhai was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. He repeatedly said "This is outrageous!" and then logged into his account.

The account is also specially verified, and it even has millions of followers, but its previous Weibo posts were all about giveaways.

He either typed or posted on Weibo, and the freshly posted Weibo was published in two minutes.

[Su Yunhai: I have only one daughter @Xiaosuzhou]

Xiao Su Zhou is the only account that Su Yunhai follows, but it has been set to private. Many people are speculating about who the owner of Su Ji's only follow is. In fact, it is Su Zhou's own personal Weibo account.

I usually use it to post about my daily life, and it has nothing to do with the zoo.

But his tagging was essentially a direct response that his daughter was not Su Qiu.

The number of likes on this Weibo post quickly climbed to tens of thousands. Su Yunhai felt that this was not enough. Su Zhou was clearly his biological daughter, and she was also very outstanding. As her father, he had no reason to hide his daughter for the sake of protection.

He posted another Weibo message.

[Su Yunhai: My daughter is very successful; she runs a zoo. You may have heard of it; it's called Wanling Zoo. Has anyone been there?]

His Weibo post had a very old-fashioned and traditional tone, completely different from his previous more savvy online statements. Su Ji's fans immediately knew that it was Su Ji himself logging in.

And what did you say?

The young director of Wanling Zoo is actually the biological daughter of the owner of Su Ji Restaurant.

That's really impressive!

This clarification statement is still circulating online.

Su Yunhai was unwilling to let his daughter suffer any loss, especially since some of the comments were really malicious, even directly speculating where his daughter's money came from.

As a man, he understood perfectly well what this meant; it was nothing more than spreading rumors and speculation. The words weren't explicitly stated, but that was the gist of it. He couldn't believe how terrible his beloved daughter had been feeling these past few days.

Su Zhou: ...

The police have arrived.

Su Zhou led the police to the security room to check the surveillance footage. She had made a copy of the footage and time period for that period. The equipment inside the zoo was very clear and high-definition. Even though it was dark at that time, it was still very clear under the ultra-high-definition equipment.

The fully armed woman furtively fed the two foxes.

Su Zhou said from the side, "I've told those animals before that they should be friendly to tourists. Even if they encounter something they don't really want to eat, they should pretend to take a bite to give them some emotional value."

Her breathing was disordered and somewhat unstable.

My fingers, hanging by my sides, curled into fists; I was in a really bad mood.

Unexpectedly, thanks to her guidance, the two little foxes, even though they didn't seem to want to eat, still obediently finished all the food the woman fed them.

Following the surveillance footage, the police were able to trace the complete timeline and route.

As the zoo was about to close, there were very few visitors left in the fox enclosure.

She chose this time to come so she wouldn't be noticed, since everyone was rushing towards the zoo exit, and naturally no one would pay special attention to her. Her movements were also clear: after leaving the hotel, she went straight to the fox enclosure, her goal clear—to see the two foxes.

After feeding the fox poisonous food, they went straight back to the hotel.

This period lasted very short, less than half an hour.

Officer Su pondered for a moment, "Have you identified what this poison is?"

Su Zhou nodded: "We found out, his name is DM, do you know him, Officer Su?"

"You've probably heard about the case of the internet-famous cat that was poisoned. This poison is specifically designed for animals." Officer Su, with his extensive experience, immediately recognized it as the poison that was very popular online.

The criminal gang operated across different regions, and their targets were animals.

Stray cats and dogs on the street, or famous internet celebrity cats and dogs, are their targets. Sometimes they also target foxes, monkeys, hedgehogs, and rabbits, since there are still many pet owners in China.

“I’ve received a lot of reports lately, almost all from pet owners. Many people claim their pets have been poisoned. Is it the same thing?” a policewoman asked.

One's pet is private property, and some of the more valuable, show-quality animals are very expensive. Some of the more valuable cats and dogs can even cost hundreds of thousands of yuan each. Losing hundreds of thousands of yuan is a considerable sum, even disregarding the life itself. Officer Su's expression was solemn, and he directly led his men: "Let's go, let's go to the hotel and take a look."

Su Zhou was the one who reported the incident, and this matter is no small thing for the zoo.

She followed the police officers to the hotel, still clutching her phone tightly in her hand, her expression ambiguous.

The police knocked on the door. Su Qiu, who was inside the room, was eating. As a female celebrity, she didn't need to suppress her appetite like other artists. She was the type of person who could eat without gaining weight, so the food on the table included milk tea and some fried food.

Hearing the knock on the door, Su Qiu felt a little flustered.

But then I remembered that the cleaning staff comes every day to replace the supplies in the room, so maybe they just come to clean.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm her inner turmoil.

"Coming." Taking off her disposable gloves, she went straight to open the door.

She screamed the moment the door opened.

My heart skipped a beat.

They are police officers in uniform.

"Ms. Su, we received a report that you are involved in poisoning a Class II protected animal. Please come with us." Officer Su took out her police ID and smiled slightly.
