Chapter Thirty-One: Licking the Tiger



The night was dark and windy, and the summer evening breeze brought waves of heat. Occasionally, stars twinkled in the mountains, and the air was much cleaner than in the city.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from inside.

The lion, which had been lying lazily on the ground, suddenly stood up. Its deep, heavy roar shook the earth. The lion had excellent night vision and saw a tiger slowly appearing in its field of vision.

It was clear that the tiger was not old; it would be considered young within its pride. The tiger gradually approached the lion enclosure, having adapted to zoo life, and thus easily slipped inside.

It smelled a strong aroma of meat.

He walked straight over, lowered his head, and buried himself in his food, completely unaware of the lion's increasingly gloomy gaze.

The meat was very fragrant and fresh, a taste it had never experienced before. Blood stained its whiskers and lips. The lion remained alert to the uninvited guest that had invaded its territory and pried open the tiger that had been engrossed in eating.

roar--

Another powerful lion's roar resounded.

The tiger has an almost instinctive fear of lions, which are much larger than itself. It has been domesticated by humans since birth, and its wildness has been almost completely worn away. It is very thin. Although there are many humans at Chaoxing Zoo, it is obvious that the food at this zoo is much better.

Under the lion's gaze, the tiger lowered its head and made weak, whimpering sounds.

Without a doubt, the CEO has no shortage of food. In the zoo, Su Zhou is very generous and has never skimped on the food of any of the animals. Otherwise, the CEO wouldn't have saved the meat until now. It originally intended to save it for a midnight snack or to eat whenever it felt like it, but the uninvited guests ate all the fresh meat it had accumulated, leaving only a bowl of bloody liquid at the bottom.

The tiger adopted an extremely submissive and ingratiating posture.

Seeing that the lion was only issuing warnings and had no intention of settling scores, the lion gradually relaxed its perked ears and wary, ingratiating expression, and continued to walk over with small, quick steps to lick up the last bit of blood.

Weiwei was raised on milk from birth, and as he grew a little older, he was fed meat.

The zookeepers have changed several times. The zookeepers only think that Weiwei is a picky eater, but they have no idea that every zookeeper is thinking of replacing fresh meat with frozen meat. Humans may not be sensitive enough to taste how long frozen meat has been stored, but animals have a keen sense of smell and taste and can tell that the meat is no longer fresh.

Even though Weiwei is considered one of the largest tigers in the world, he was so hungry that he was skin and bones.

Seeing Weiwei's timid yet greedy appearance, the CEO thought of how it was before Su Zhou arrived. Exposed to the scorching sun, without water or food, it helplessly watched as the villagers stole their rightful feed. Its body was too weak to survive, relying solely on the fat stored within it.

It's only because of the excellent feed that Su Zhou provided that it can look so majestic now.

The president raised his chin, his golden mane gleaming in the moonlight, like a true king of the jungle, temporarily allowing the tiger to reside in his territory.

Su Zhou slept very comfortably in the newly renovated office building. Without the hassle of commuting, she could even sleep an extra half hour.

When she woke up, she groggily reached for her phone and habitually swiped down the notification bar to see what messages she had.

The latest news that popped up was that Tiger Weiwei, who had been missing overnight, had not yet been found.

The good news is that there have been no reports of residents being injured so far.

"Still haven't found it. This is a bit tricky." Su Zhou hissed. In the past, a very small, non-venomous snake about a meter long crawling across the lawn of their school had terrified the students. Let alone this real tiger.

Despite her worries, Su Zhou still sent a message to her parents, telling them to be careful when going out recently.

After sending the message, we washed up, ate, and drank together.

Tang Yu is now in charge of opening the door, so Su Zhou, as the head of the kindergarten, can slack off a little.

She has a habit of feeding all the animals in the zoo before it officially opens.

Upon arriving at the Lion's Den, Su Zhou waved: "President, come and eat."

Worried that her child wasn't getting enough to eat, yet also concerned that overfeeding would upset their stomach, Su Zhou realized that even by human standards, this African lion was definitely older than her. Having discovered the CEO's endearing qualities, Su Zhou now viewed this enormous creature as nothing more than a large, affectionate kitten.

I put the meat in a bowl. Su Zhou left quite a bit of meat for it yesterday, but I didn't expect it to finish it so quickly.

"President, I think you've ordered too much food." Su Zhou always speaks her mind, and she's even more uninhibited in front of the animals. She directly said what was on her mind, rubbed the president's furry ears (they felt really nice), and then remembered the important matter. She took out all the meat and put it in a bowl.

Just as Su Zhou lowered her head, when she straightened up again, a large, piercing tiger with yellow and white stripes appeared in her field of vision. The man and the tiger stared at each other; the tiger looked at the man, and the man looked at the tiger.

In a short while, Su Zhou finally realized that there seemed to be an uninvited guest in her zoo.

No, why is she so cheeky? She saw the little tiger and wanted to possess it, but when the tiger actually appeared in front of her, Su Zhou became unhappy.

With the CEO around, she should be fine.

But how did the tiger get in? The gate is a bit dilapidated... wait, it seems there's really something wrong with the gate.

She had been planning to upgrade the zoo's main gate soon, and this wasn't just Su Zhou's thought; it was the sentiment of many visitors. While the other facilities were decent, the main gate seemed utterly out of place. It was like entering a dilapidated hotel only to discover that the interior was actually five-star.

But just based on its appearance, it's quite unacceptable.

Life is tough, even a small bowl of porridge sighs.

Without any desire to communicate, Su Zhou directly called the police, adding meat to the bowl while on the phone.
