Chapter 168 Suspicion
Si Ran's head buzzed.
Sarah's words made her sweat run down her back.
She had always felt that the zoo was filled with a very strange atmosphere, but she had not figured out why it was strange until last night.
She had thought about asking the animals, but she didn't know where to start.
Now that I think about it carefully, all my doubts were answered in Sarah's words.
The animal procedures at Haicheng Zoo are certainly formal, but their sources are not.
If you buy an animal that looks like Sarah, it will cost at least one million to ship it back to China. With so many animals in Haicheng Zoo, it is impossible to make a profit no matter how high the ticket price is.
So they buy hunted animals at low prices and send them back to the country in the form of "rescue". But even so, they still rely on government subsidies while feeding the animals pig feed to cut costs!
"Sara, I know about this, but I don't have any evidence right now. Let's not act rashly." Si Ran asked in a low voice, "You just told me that someone called and asked someone to replace the pig feed with normal meals. Do you know who it was?"
"Lu Zhen."
Sarah said immediately, "Lu Zhen was talking to another man and wanted to hide the secret of the zoo!"
——
Si Ran quickly came out of the glass room and took a deep breath.
Song Zhi didn't understand animal language, but seeing Si Ran's expression suddenly become solemn and even angry, he guessed that there must be something wrong with the zoo.
Sure enough, Si Ran whispered, "Don't alert the enemy yet. Pretend you know nothing. I'll tell you when we get home tonight."
The zoo staff couldn't possibly be unaware that their breeding methods were wrong, so she couldn't show the slightest bit of abnormality.
Following the original route, Si Ran inspected the small animals in other parks.
With a breakthrough, Si Ran's inquiries became very smooth and easy.
And also learned a shocking news -
The animals that are rumored to be out of the circle are not necessarily performing, but a solution that the zoo came up with because of losses before:
Each park uses violence to train a few eye-catching animals to attract humans and guide tourists to consume.
"The gorilla next door is so miserable. Whenever there are tourists, it has to stand up. The keeper says it has to ask for food even when standing. Humans will find it funny and spend money so that the gorillas can eat fruit and normal food."
"Black bears are having a tough time too. The keepers are training them to dance and jump through fire hoops. They said they're going to open a circus in a few months."
"The red pandas in the hotel are also miserable. They have to sell their bodies to eat apples."
…
After one round, Si Ran's face couldn't be worse.
Si Ran didn't return to the hotel until the park was about to close.
The first thing I did when I got back was to pick up Yuebao.
But just as I received Yuebao, Lu Zhen came.
Today, Lu Zhen changed into another suit from a famous brand with a logo on it. When he saw Si Ran, he walked over with a smile.
"Miss Si Ran, how was your inspection today?" Lu Zhen looked at the red panda Si Ran was holding, crouched slightly, and looked at her lovingly. "This must be Yue Bao from the red panda park. I heard he gets into trouble every day."
After saying that, Lu Zhen smiled and asked, "But Miss Si seems to like Yuebao very much. If you like it, I can decide to give it to Miss Si."
Before Si Ran could say anything, Yue Bao's eyes lit up.
"Wow! Can I really follow Ranran? I do it, I do it, I do it!"
From then on, it would follow Ranran to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and it would no longer have to seduce guests to give it apples.
Ranran is so good, he will definitely have endless big apples to eat in the future!
Yuebao jumped up and down excitedly, with a visibly happy look on his face.
Although Lu Zhen is very annoying to the red panda, he is doing a humane thing by leaving today!
The little panda stood up straight, muttering earnestly, "Ranran, Ranran, can you take me away? I really like you. I can just go back and tell my mom. I'm willing to follow you and enjoy the good life... No, I'm willing to follow you through fire and water!"
"I will protect Ranran for the rest of my life!"
The red panda is crazy about showing his loyalty.
Si Ran did not answer the red panda.
She cast her gaze on Lu Zhen, who was examining Si Ran with a shrewd look.
Although they didn't say anything, their eyes started to exchange silently.
Si Ran suddenly smiled and patted Yue Bao's head. "It just so happens that there are very few red pandas in our zoo. I heard that Haicheng Zoo has the largest number of red pandas in the country. If you are willing, I would be more than happy to help you."
Lu Zhen smiled and said, "Miss Si Ran is young and promising. She's so outstanding at such a young age. She just wants a red panda, even as a pet. I think the country will agree."
"Director Lu!"
Si Ran's expression changed slightly, and Dean Lu was stunned, not knowing what he had said wrong.
Before Lu Zhen could say anything, he heard Si Ran angrily say, "What do you mean, Director Lu? All the animals in our Wonderful Zoo are legally regulated and sourced from sources that are impeccable. If you want to give me a red panda, I certainly wouldn't refuse. But why bring the country into this?"
Si Ran's eyes were dangerous, and his tone was filled with anger and questioning.
However, just like that, Lu Zhen's doubts were completely dispelled.
He had received news before that Si Ran had participated in many large-scale animal cases at a young age and had an amazing resume. He had become famous in the industry after only one year in the industry.
This time the official document came down so suddenly that he couldn't help but wonder if the country had found out something and sent Si Ran specifically to solve it.
But after getting to know him, he found that Si Ran was easily impulsive and acted on impulse, and would collapse at the slightest temptation.
The higher-ups would never send such an idiot down to investigate.
But Song Zhi next to him...
Lu Zhen narrowed his eyes.
Si Ran was so high-profile, how could she forget the woman in front of her.
Song Zhi looks more mature than Si Ran, and his resume shows that he is a very good animal expert, so Si Ran is probably the brick that throws a brick to attract jade, and he should be wary of Song Zhi.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhen felt that he had come to the truth and chuckled, "Ms. Si, please don't be angry. I just expressed myself incorrectly. You like Yuebao so much, so I wanted to give it to you."
Si Ran still looked very angry: "Your explanation is the same as no explanation at all, but for Yuebao's sake I don't bother to argue with you. My companions and I have inspection work tomorrow, so I'll go upstairs and rest first."
After saying that, Si Ran said respectfully to Song Zhi: "Sister Zhizhi, let's go."
Song Zhi was not stupid, he nodded expressionlessly: "Yeah."
Then he nodded towards Lu Zhen and said calmly, "Director Lu, we'll go up first."
Lu Zhen looked at Song Zhi, who was very calm, and was absolutely sure that his guess was correct.
Si Ran is just a smokescreen, Song Zhi is the real animal expert!
