A group of wild children arrived in the alley, some looking for their father, others for their mother. They were all pitiful children abandoned by educated youth before returning to the cities.
...Chapter 132 Dog Brother and Dog Sister 2 That was the most innocent thing Dog Brother had for Dog Sister…
Qiu Xiaoman has been doing morning exercises with the troops these past few days. She has already brushed her teeth and is getting ready for morning exercises.
As soon as she put down her toothbrush, her cell phone rang.
Liu Kun's weary voice came from the other end: "Officer Qiu, we found Little Lightning. He was almost killed. Please think of something. I've done my best."
"What?" Qiu Xiaoman was startled. She pulled out a tissue to wipe the foam from her mouth and asked, "What happened? I need to take leave to deal with it."
These words gave Liu Kun a glimmer of hope. Ever since he met Officer Qiu, she had always been invincible, only encountering obstacles when facing her biological parents.
He had done all he could do and could only hope that Officer Qiu would bring about a miracle, so he subconsciously asked, "Didn't you just go there a few days ago? Can you really get some time off?"
"Why not?" Qiu Xiaoman said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and get down to business."
Liu Kun yawned, forced himself to look at the sleeping Little Lightning, and explained, "The address and number you gave me are the maternal home of Wu Cichou's eldest daughter-in-law. The one who bought Little Lightning is her nephew. At first, I thought he bought the dog to keep as a pet, but when I got there, I found out he was abusing Little Lightning. I fought with him, and he even called the police. In the end, Captain Zou came and saved me."
"What?!" Qiu Xiaoman was enraged. After changing her shoes, she tied her shoelaces with one hand and started walking outside, asking as she went, "Why did he abuse Little Lightning?"
Liu Kun sighed silently: "That kid's father not only used drugs himself, but also encouraged and allowed others to use them. In the end, he almost lost all his savings and had to resort to drug trafficking to support his addiction. Once this drug got out of control, it gradually grew to a very large scale, alarming the police. The last time he traded drugs on the Yunnan border, he was caught red-handed by the anti-drug police. In order to catch that beast, Pili bit the beast's ankle tightly and was beaten into a dog-like shape but did not let go. By the time the anti-drug police killed the drug traffickers who were keeping watch outside and rushed into the abandoned factory where the transaction was taking place, Pili was on his last breath."
Upon hearing this truth, Qiu Xiaoman, like a fully drawn bowstring, left the morning training group without hesitation and ran towards Captain Lu in front of her. She needed to ask for leave! As she ran, she asked, "So they bought Little Lightning back to take revenge?"
Liu Kun lowered his voice, not wanting to disturb Uncle Zhou outside, and said, "Well, that beast was afraid of being caught, so he shot and killed the narcotics officer who was charging ahead, and was then shot dead on the spot by the narcotics officers who arrived from behind. The Wu family hates this narcotics officer to the core and has threatened to exterminate his entire family. But as you know, information about narcotics officers is top secret. If the Wu family wants to use back channels to investigate information about officers from other regions, they need the cooperation of the Yunnan side. Fortunately, the leaders in Yunnan are very firm and only replied 'no comment' to dismiss Wu Cichou. So the only revenge the Wu family can take is against Pili's children. Pili gave birth to five puppies in total, but only two were selected for the military dog training camp, and the remaining three..."
Qiu Xiaoman couldn't take it anymore and stopped in front of Captain Lu with red eyes: "Report, I need to ask for leave. I need to take Zhuifeng to handle an urgent matter."
Having already guessed what was going on after receiving a call from Director Wen, Captain Lu readily agreed: "Go ahead, just give me a call if you can't be back tonight."
Qiu Xiaoman shouted, "Yes!" and then ran all the way to the kennel.
Hearing that she had successfully obtained leave, Liu Kun breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "When will you arrive? I'll go buy you breakfast."
"I'm not hungry. Where are you now? How badly is Little Lightning injured?" Qiu Xiaoman appeared at the kennel, her temper flaring, startling all the dogs awake. They stared at her with innocent eyes, curiously examining her.
She smiled apologetically, but the forced smile looked worse than a grimace. Seeing this, Zhui Feng quickly reassured everyone, "You all go to sleep. I'll handle anything."
The other dogs, however, couldn't sleep. After all, it was the first time they had ever seen their trainer cry, a truly rare occurrence.
Actually, Qiu Xiaoman didn't realize she was crying at all. She picked up the key and opened the iron gate of Zhuifeng's kennel. Zhuifeng was very smart and guessed that the matter was related to him. He immediately took the initiative to pick up the dog leash and handed it to Qiu Xiaoman. Qiu Xiaoman bent down and put it on him. She heard from the other end that he was at Uncle Zhou's place and had just finished surgery on Xiaoshan. She felt a little more at ease.
She didn't know that Liu Kun was afraid she would drive too fast, so he didn't dare to tell her the specifics of Xiao Shandian's injuries. He only said that Uncle Zhou was taking care of her and told her to drive in peace.
She hung up the phone and quickly gave Zhui Feng a heads-up: "Listen, Little Lightning has been found, but she's injured. Luckily, we have a trustworthy veterinarian taking care of her. I'll take you to be with her now."
Zhui Feng assumed his sister had injured herself while walking because her previous leg injury hadn't healed. He reassured himself that she was alright and excitedly licked Qiu Xiaoman's hand, saying, "Human, you're so kind! I like you so much, thank you!"
Qiu Xiaoman sighed silently. Silly dog, I wonder if he's just fooling himself. Well, it's better to worry when we get there. Otherwise, the journey will be too agonizing.
She quickly took Zhui Feng's hand, went to the parking lot, started the engine, and set off.
Fortunately, it was late spring and the weather was getting warmer, so there was no need to waste time starting a fire. She quickly followed the system's map navigation, drove onto the main road, and headed straight for Beidu.
There weren't many private cars these days, so when she arrived in the city it was almost eight o'clock. There wasn't much traffic, and she headed straight for Uncle Zhou's house.
When she carried Zhuifeng inside and saw Xiaoshandian's miserable state, she couldn't help but swear. She then turned around and went out to find Uncle Zhou to find out what had happened.
Zhui Feng was terrified. He couldn't believe that this was his sister, the happy, proud, and agile sister who was as lively as a rabbit. How could she have become like this?
Zhui Feng lay sadly on the edge of the bed, desperately pawing forward with his two front paws and kicking upwards with his two hind paws. Unfortunately, a dog's body is not designed for climbing. After trying for a long time, Qiu Xiaoman finally came from the living room and helped him up.
Chasing Wind immediately circled Little Lightning a few times, finally finding a spot where it wouldn't touch Little Lightning's wounds. It then lay down in front of Little Lightning's head and silently licked Little Lightning's ears and forehead.
That was a dog brother's most natural love for a dog sister, full of heartache and reluctance.
Qiu Xiaoman felt a pang of sadness, looked away, and went outside.
She had just asked Uncle Zhou and knew that Little Lightning was likely to die, but she couldn't bear to tell Zhui Feng, so she could only sit in the living room and sigh.
Seeing this, Uncle Zhou comforted Qiu Xiaoman with the same words he had used the night before. Qiu Xiaoman looked at him gratefully and said, "Uncle, thank you. Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. I'm planning to open a pet hospital and a pet supply store. You'll be in charge of the hospital, and Liu Kun will be in charge of the supply store. The two shops will be next to each other and connected on both sides. Since you already know each other, I don't need to introduce you anymore."
Uncle Zhou was somewhat flattered: "Me? Are you serious? I'm just a veterinarian."
It was a veterinary station; they used to help out in suburban communes, the kind that treated pigs.
Qiu Xiaoman forced a smile, but couldn't manage a genuine laugh. She could only keep a straight face and say, "Well, Mr. Chen has already found a shop. Once everything is ready, you can go. Of course, I'm not forcing you. I was just thinking that you're probably bored living alone, so why don't you go help out at the shop and get to know some young people?"
Uncle Zhou was deeply moved. He turned his back and wiped his old face, saying, "I'm ashamed. I never thought that at my age, I would meet a mentor."
Qiu Xiaoman sighed and asked, "By the way, Uncle Zhou, if Little Lightning is staying here, where will you sleep?"
"I'll sleep on the sofa," Uncle Zhou forced a smile.
Qiu Xiaoman knew that he regretted not educating his son well. Now that his son was in jail, he had become an empty-nest old man, and it was inevitable that he felt melancholy.
She quickly took out her money: "This is not good. There's a hotel next to your house. Take the money and stay at the hotel for the next few days. If you have any sweet words, I'll have Liu Kun call you. I won't move Little Lightning. You have everything here. My pet hospital isn't ready yet."
Uncle Zhou didn't ask for money: "Don't keep talking about money. I'm fine, really. Why don't you let Xiao Liu sleep in a hotel? I'll take turns keeping watch with him."
"I still have to give you money. Hiring a caregiver costs money, doesn't it?" Qiu Xiaoman insisted on giving him money and stuffed three thousand into his hand.
Uncle Zhou refused to accept it no matter what, but after some back and forth, and with Liu Kun's persuasion, he finally accepted one thousand as a token.
When the three of them quieted down, they noticed the crying coming from the next bedroom. They looked at each other and could only sigh silently. It was Zhui Feng sobbing; he was worried about his sister's safety, which was truly touching.
However, there was no point in the three of them just sitting there doing nothing. Qiu Xiaoman was determined to uncover the Wu family and their related in-law network as soon as possible, collect evidence, and bring them to justice!
Especially those involved in drug use or seeking revenge against the offspring of drug-sniffing dogs—not a single one can be let off the hook!
She made an excuse to go out to find something to eat and called Liu Kun to talk outside. After all, it involved drug enforcement, and it was best not to involve Uncle Zhou.
Once seated in the car, Qiu Xiaoman finally spoke: "What's that little bastard's name? How old is he?"
"His name is Duan Jiahao, and he's seventeen years old." Liu Kun had already found out everything and reminded him, "The Duan family supplies steel to construction sites, and they have the final say on all the construction sites in Beidu City."
"What a joke! Do they think they're some kind of local tyrants? That they can call the shots? We're a socialist country, a public domain, not their Duan family's private domain!" Qiu Xiaoman had a direction for her investigation. She stepped on the gas and drove off into the street, asking as she drove, "What did Captain Zou say when he came to bail you out?"
“He said he didn’t know that Little Lightning was a descendant of drug-sniffing dogs, and he only found out from Director Wen. Because the police information between the two places is not shared, there is an information gap in this regard. And the matters of the military are not under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau and the base, so neither he nor Captain Meng were negligent.” Liu Kun quickly helped to clarify, so as not to make Qiu Xiaoman angry with the two captains.
Qiu Xiaoman was reasonable: "I know that information about drug-sniffing dogs will definitely not be shared with other units. It's normal for communication to be poor, especially since we're from different locations. It seems that we need to improve in this area. Anyway, I need to go to the criminal investigation building to check the information of veterinarian He Rui. When Xiao Shandian was handed over to him from the army, he must have known Xiao Shandian's identity. Something's not right with him!"
Liu Kun thought that made sense, but he still reminded him, "I think you should go directly to Director Wen and ask him. Going to the criminal investigation building now would easily arouse suspicion."
"Alright." Qiu Xiaoman drove to a park, stopped, and dialed Director Wen's number. She wanted to get justice for Xiao Shandian!

The author says: I felt a bit heavy-hearted while writing this passage. Considering the recent hot topics and current events, it's hard not to feel angry.
In the fight against drugs, we will not yield an inch! We will never compromise with illegality!
We urge everyone to be vigilant, not to drink beverages offered by strangers despite their friendly facade, and to avoid high-risk locations.
If the files are really sealed, the number of people using drugs will definitely increase. When those scumbags get too much drug use and their wallets are empty, they will drag those around them down with them, selling drugs to support their own addiction. Everyone must be vigilant.
