Song Baobao rushed to report the final intelligence: [The suspect is currently hiding in the tree hole under the third large pine tree in the forest area!]

[Please instruct, should the arrest be made immediately?]

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhining immediately entered "headmaster's case" mode and waved her hand: "Let's go! Arrest this naughty boy!"

She turned to look at Gu Huaiye, her eyes sparkling as she invited him, "Do you want to come with me? I'll teach the culprit a lesson myself and teach him a lesson!"

Gu Huaiye looked at the high-spirited "One Man and Two Rats Team" in front of him, and the words "Are you childish?" were already on the tip of his tongue.

But when he met Xia Zhining's expectant eyes, he changed the subject and finally nodded as if possessed by some unknown force: "...Lead the way."

Gu Huaiye followed Xia Zhining's footsteps and was about to go out when he caught a glimpse of Anxing, who had been hiding in a corner and trying hard to reduce his presence.

At this moment, Anxing couldn't help but quietly follow a few steps.

Gu Huaiye stopped, turned around, and gently touched Anxing's wet nose with his index finger: "You, go back and reflect on your mistakes. Tonight's extra meal is cancelled."

Dark Star immediately let out an aggrieved "howl", his ears drooping, but he still walked back to the corner obediently and lay down facing the wall, leaving only an extremely lonely back.

On the other side, the squirrel brothers skillfully jumped onto their beloved scooters and led the way.

Xia Zhining held up a flashlight, the beam of light dancing in the night.

Gu Huaiye followed behind, looking at this "special operations team" composed of people, squirrels and scooters, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "What a childish guy."

But the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted slightly, and an inexplicable soft emotion quietly spread in his heart.

A group of people quickly came to the corner of the forest, and saw a familiar white figure nestled in an abandoned express cardboard box.

Xia Zhining took a closer look and was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Snowball the stoat was sitting on four or five eggs in a very formal manner, his little head bobbing up and down, trying to imitate the hen's cry from his throat:

[Click—click—da—]

Its body also imitated the way a hen incubates eggs, arching up and down clumsily, trying to protect all the eggs under its body.

Gu Huaiye, who rushed over later, peeked in and saw this unimaginable scene, and was also completely stunned.

The two of them and the squirrel brothers had already surrounded the snowball.

Xuetuan, who was trying hard to imitate the crowing of a hen, fell silent instantly when he heard the noise and his whole body froze.

Xia Zhining reached out and pinched the skin on the back of its neck, pulling the furry "little thief" in front of her.

"Little rascal, do you know how much trouble you have caused?"

"You snuck into the chicken coop without locking the door, and now the whole zoo knows what you did!"

Xuetuan curled up his four little paws in the air, his eyes wandering, not daring to look at Xia Zhining:

[I, I just want to borrow a few eggs...]

There are too many chickens in there. I can’t beat them all…

[I just want to hatch some chicks and eat them myself...]

Xia Zhining chuckled at Xuetuan's bizarre train of thought, and turned around to stuff the "evidence" into Gu Huaiye's arms:

"Here, the victim is here. What do you want to do with him?"
