Chapter 138 The Little Bird Detective Has Done a Great Deed - It's Me! Your Little Chubby Bird Detective...

Qiu Xiaoman was very excited. Uncle Zhou had said that as long as Little Lightning could wake up within three days, his chances of survival would be very high.

Now that the little guy has opened his eyes, it's a relief. She bent down and patted Little Lightning's head, comforting him in dog language, "Don't be afraid, little guy, we won't hurt you. Your brother is here with you. Just focus on recovering."

Little Lightning weakly lifted her eyelids as a response, and tried to lift her neck to see where her brother was, but unfortunately she was too weak to lift it.

However, Qiu Xiaoman understood her intention and quickly called to Zhuifeng: "Come here, lie down here, Little Lightning wants to talk to you."

Chasing Wind immediately crouched down beside the tray, resting its chin on its sister's paw, gazing longingly at Little Lightning with eyes full of love.

However, Little Lightning was too tired and couldn't open her eyes no matter how hard she tried. She could only hum a couple of times. Chasing Wind quickly licked her head and said, "Go to sleep. Brother is here. Brother won't go anywhere."

Little Lightning felt relieved and fell asleep again.

She had a dream about their past at the breeding base in Yunnan.

That was when she and her older siblings were just starting to wean. They were greedy and after eating dog food, they couldn't help but chase after their mother's tail and try to suckle a little milk.

The mother wasn't angry. She just reminded them that they were big kids now and needed to gradually wean themselves off milk and eat more meat and rice so they could grow up quickly and become excellent drug-sniffing dogs like her.

At that time, she didn't understand what a drug-sniffing dog was.

The mother patiently told them that there was a group of lazy, evil, and despicable people who liked to get something for nothing. So they lured others to use drugs, and once others were addicted, they sold the drugs to others and made huge profits.

They were still young then and didn't understand what drugs were. They wagged their little tails, tilted their little heads, and looked at their mothers expectantly, asking, "What are drugs?"

The mother explained, "It's an extremely dangerous thing. It can make humans addicted, go crazy, become inhuman, destroy themselves, hurt their loved ones and friends, and suffer irreparable harm. As good companions to humans, we dogs should help the police and soldiers catch these bad guys so that the human world can become a better place and the dogs' living environment can become harmonious and peaceful. This is beneficial to both humans and dogs, and even if there are sacrifices, we, along with the police and soldiers, will not back down."

When Mom said this, her eyes were shining.

Back then, Little Lightning didn't understand what madness was, what it meant to be neither human nor ghost, or what sacrifice was.

Two weeks later, two men in military uniforms came to the base manager and said that there was a joint military-police operation and they didn't have enough drug-sniffing dogs, so they had to temporarily recall their mother.

The base leader was reluctant to let them go because their mothers had participated in hundreds of anti-drug operations, seizing over eighty kilograms of various types of drugs. Their mothers were already seven years old when they joined the breeding program, and their training was delayed during childbirth. If their mothers were not suited for frontline combat, they would only be a hindrance to everyone.

As a result, the mother took the initiative to stand up, barking and arguing her case. She wanted to go. Although she had given birth, she had started rehabilitation training a month ago. It didn't matter that she didn't have a trainer. She would find obstacles to climb over and pretend there was an enemy in front of her, crawling forward and slowly approaching.

My mother was always prepared to be called back to the team at any time, because she knew that the drug-sniffing dog team was desperately short of dogs.

The most glorious mission for a drug-sniffing dog is to dedicate its life to the cause of drug enforcement!

So even though the base leader was reluctant, my mother excitedly surrounded the two soldiers, repeatedly volunteering herself.

In the end, Mom got her wish, but she never came back.

Of the two soldiers, only one returned. The other, like his mother, lies buried underground, in the name of capturing those villains and maintaining peace on earth.

Fortunately, Mom left something for them—a shining medal, the most sacred lesson Mom taught them with her life.

As their mother's children, these five will surely inherit her will and become warriors who protect peace!

Perhaps one day, they too will earn medal after medal, and place them alongside their mother's. That would surely be the best tribute and comfort for their mother.

So even though she was captured by bad guys, even though her legs were broken and her body was burned, she still didn't want to die, she didn't want to die!

She hasn't passed the selection process yet, and she hasn't become an outstanding frontline drug detection dog like her mother. She can't die, absolutely not!

In his sleep, Little Lightning suddenly barked a few times, a protest against his difficult fate and a swearing-out to evil forces.

His voice was firm and resonant, full of energy; even when plagued by injuries, he would never back down!

These few barks completely dispelled Qiu Xiaoman's drowsiness. She stared blankly at Little Lightning, whose eyes were tightly closed, feeling both moved and admiring.

Good child, you will get better, you will achieve your goals, you will make your mother proud, you will!

As dawn approached, Liu Kun came in again to feed Qiu Xiaoman a meal of liquid food. Before five o'clock, Qiu Xiaoman ate and set off for the army.

She wanted to visit Little Lightning, and she also needed to train the military dogs at the base; she didn't want to neglect either of them.

During her lunch break, her mobile phone rang. Thinking it was Liu Kun reporting on the situation, she yawned and asked, "How is it? Has Little Lightning woken up?"

Wu Shirong's laughter came from the other end: "It's me. Your Little Fat Bird Detective is looking for you."

"Ah!" Qiu Xiaoman instantly snapped back to reality. "Quick, let her answer the phone."

Immediately, a cacophony of birdsong came from the other end of the microphone: "Human! Something's up! That boy ran away after arguing with his grandfather this morning, and now he's acting crazy with a bunch of young people in a dark room."

A room without the lights on?

"Yes, I don't know what that place is called."

"Is there any sign at the entrance? Just a wooden board or a sign or something, anything with words or pictures on it."

"Yes, yes! So that thing is called a signboard? It has a picture of a big wine bottle on it, and a woman on each side, hugging the bottle and sticking her butt out. There are some words written on the bottle, but I don't recognize them."

"That's probably a bar. It's not open right now, no wonder the lights aren't on. They must have drawn the curtains, right?"

"Oh, that thing is called a curtain."

"Hmm, do you still remember how to get there?"

"Remember!"

"Okay, you wait here. I'll send someone with you. You can let the person who called you answer the phone."

Wu Shirong's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's me, she's reporting the situation to you?"

Qiu Xiaoman nodded: "Okay, take Lele to find Captain Zou, I'll tell him the details."

Five minutes later, Zou, who had just finished working overtime and was about to go to lunch, was stopped by Wu Shirong. The two went to Wu Shirong's office and called Qiu Xiaoman back.

Hearing Wu Shirong's voice, Qiu Xiaoman said helplessly, "Don't get involved in this. It's dangerous. Just let Captain Zou listen to it alone."

"It's just catching a few criminals, what's the big deal?" Wu Shirong said dismissively.

Without saying a word, Captain Zou chased him out, closed the door, and then whispered, "Comrade Qiu, what is it?"

"Team Leader Zou, Duan Jiahao is using drugs at a bar. Follow Lele there, and once you find out the name of the bar, notify the anti-drug squad to go there."

"Is it really necessary to go through all that trouble? I'll just take them there directly."

"That won't do, it will expose Lele. It wasn't easy for me to develop a little bird detective, and I don't want to see the Little Lightning incident happen again."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I will protect Lele."

"Thank you. Please contact me if there are any issues. When Lele answers the phone, no one else should be present."

"Got it." Captain Zou hung up the phone, didn't even have time to eat, and rushed out. Lele flew out of the window and met him at the door.

Poor Wu Shirong couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only stare blankly at the empty office.

He disliked the feeling of being deliberately protected by female comrades, and subconsciously pinched his thin, bony arms, feeling disgusted with his own body for the first time in his life.

*

Duan Jiahao was arrested, along with another grandson of the Wu family, the sixth in his family, and Qu Tian, ​​who had hooked up with him after their last meal.

The bar where they used drugs was owned by one of Wu's sons-in-law. It was a coincidence that the mother opened the door for the coincidence, and coincidentally, they arrived home.

So soon, Wu's son-in-law was also summoned by the police.

When Wu Cichou received the news, he was completely stunned.

He couldn't believe that these brats would never learn their lesson and kept causing him trouble!

He immediately called Director Wen's superior, the rising star who had once been very respectful and polite to him, and even treated him like a brother.

The call was answered by the clerk, who said the leader was away on a business trip and wouldn't be back for a week.

He could only dial Director Wen's number, but it was Director Wen's clerk who answered, making an excuse that Director Wen was in a meeting and turned him away.

Wu Cichou dared not wait. When the drug addiction kicked in, his mouth was prone to leaking information. If those two bastards exposed the Wu family's secret, then it would be all over.

He had no choice but to swallow his pride and call his junior, Captain Zou, but no one answered the phone.

He was getting anxious and finally had to call Wu Meinian over: "Go and find Shen Qinghuai to find out if this matter has anything to do with his daughter, and whether his daughter knows anything about the inside story. You also need to think of a way to send some money to the people in the detention center and drug rehabilitation center, and get the person out first."

Wu Meinian frowned: "Dad, I'm not in the government office, so people might not give me that kind of face."

"What? You think your father's influence is no longer effective?" Wu Cichou was still dreaming of his invincible rule.

Wu Meinian sighed silently, "Alright, I'll give it a try."

After leaving the Wu family villa, Wu Meinian looked worried and called Shen Qinghuai. Shen Qinghuai knew nothing about it and steered the conversation toward the person who had been monitoring Qiu Xiaoman.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Wu Meinian hung up the phone before he could retaliate.

She parked her car at the intersection, watching the bustling traffic and the bright spring day, but she always felt that behind that brilliance lay dark clouds that blotted out the sky, only temporarily obscured by the illusion of sunshine.

The light turned green, and the cars behind her honked their horns to urge her on. She snapped out of her daze, stepped on the gas, and sped off, but didn't notice a dump truck turning right. Luckily, the driver was a steady man; he drove slowly and honked his horn loudly.

In a moment of panic, Wu Meinian turned the steering wheel sharply to the left, narrowly avoiding a collision with the dump truck.

But the car crashed into the median strip and broke down. I had to take a warning triangle from the trunk, put it on the road a short distance back, and call a tow truck.

When the traffic police arrived, she was squatting by the roadside in a daze. Since it was a non-collision accident and the responsibility lay with her, the traffic police simply issued a fine and that was it.

After her car was towed away, Wu Meinian walked alone on the street. For a moment, she felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

In the past, no matter what happened at home, her father could simply make a phone call, but now...

When did all this start to change? It started when Haoxiong's eating of meatballs was exposed. After that, it would have been better if they had just kept Haoxiong in line. Instead, they bribed the guards and found someone to take Haoxiong's place, thus replacing him.

He tried to run away, but lost his suitcase and his passport.

After that, Haoxiong died. It was as if some unseen hand was pushing the Wu family little by little into an abyss of destruction.

Wu Meinian became increasingly terrified as she thought about it, and she didn't even bother to look where she was going.

It wasn't until a piercing horn sounded behind her that she realized she had unknowingly walked to the middle of the road, looking like a distraught person contemplating suicide.

Amid the driver's curses, she walked back to the sidewalk, gripped her mobile phone tightly, and silently made up her mind.

Run! The building is about to collapse; it will be too late if you don't run now.

Unfortunately, she lost her passport and the replacement hadn't been issued yet, so she quickly went to the Exit-Entry Administration Office of the Public Security Bureau to inquire about the progress.

Unexpectedly, I ran into a familiar face.

She looked at the spirited old man in surprise and exclaimed, "Uncle Shen? Weren't you in America? Why are you back!"

Shen Wanming glanced at her indifferently, as if she were a stranger. He was too lazy to argue with the Wu family and simply walked past them.
