Chapter 38 New Discoveries in the Zoo Disorder System
Peng Jie's brow twitched violently when he heard Gu Yiliu's idea. He wanted to say it was impossible, but he also understood what Gu Yiliu wanted to do.
"...This could easily scare the public, but your method is indeed effective and can attract a lot of attention. However, do you know who is behind Yang Fuhai?"
Gu Yiliu: "I knew he had some connections; he said his brother-in-law had some influence."
Peng Jie sighed, “His brother-in-law is a doctor. A few years ago, he saved the mother of the director of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Jiashui City. This is no secret. The director is a filial son. Almost everyone in the city knows him. He often brings his elderly mother to various restaurants.”
“However, he probably doesn’t know what you’re talking about, otherwise he wouldn’t have let Yang Fuhai do that. So I suggest you report it again. Last time you only mentioned abuse, not the industry chain behind it. Try it again this time,” Peng Jie said.
"Okay, but you should also prepare some people to wait near the zoo."
Peng Jie opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything hurtful.
Gu Yiliu was a woman of action, so she immediately went to the Forestry and Grassland Bureau again, where she was received by Cui Mingzhao.
As soon as the latter saw her, he hurriedly said, "Comrade Gu, we have already ordered Happy Fun Zoo to rectify the situation. What happened this time?"
Gu Yiliu revealed Yang Fuhai's business of selling animal flesh and blood: "Comrade Cui, Yang Fuhai nominally runs a zoo, but in reality, he keeps animals in captivity and makes money by buying and selling their flesh and blood. You should know that this is worth more than the entrance fee."
Cui Mingzhao's expression changed drastically. "Are you sure?"
"As I have seen with my own eyes, many animals are unable to resist, but they have long harbored resentment towards Yang Fuhai. If this is not resolved soon, an animal uprising is very likely."
Cui Mingzhao hurriedly reported the matter, while Gu Yiliu stood there watching him leave in a hurry. She guessed that he might be taking people to the zoo to find out what was going on.
After leaving the Forestry and Grassland Bureau, Gu Yiliu immediately went to the zoo.
She saw the zookeeper hitting them again.
"Roar!" The white tiger saw her during a lull in the attack, its eyes lit up, and it immediately roared.
When the black bear saw her, it excitedly bumped into the iron cage, which excitedly made the onlookers scream.
Gu Yiliu nodded slightly, then quickly walked away without lingering.
She wandered over to the elephant enclosure, then went to the camel enclosure, and after thinking for a moment, she went to the deer enclosure. Gu Yiliu discovered that the two large antlers of the deer had been cut off.
"Officer Gu..." The sika deer looked at the iron cage with a cut in it, puzzled.
"You don't want to have your blood drawn, do you?"
The sika deer's eyes dimmed. "That day... after you left, Officer Gu, the zookeeper took some of my blood and cut off my antlers."
Gu Yiliu frowned. "So you still want to have your blood drawn?"
"Don't worry, if we succeed today, we should be able to get you a new headmaster."
The sika deer certainly didn't want its blood drawn. It knew what to do.
It followed closely behind Gu Yiliu, but humans are faster than animals, and it also had to evade the zookeeper's pursuit, so it soon lost sight of Gu Yiliu.
Gu Yiliu walked very fast. The zoo was huge, and she would stop and talk to every animal she saw. As she was leaving, she bumped into Cui Mingzhao, who was rushing over, at the main gate.
The moment the two met, Cui Mingzhao's heart skipped a beat for some reason, and he blurted out, "You didn't do anything, did you?"
Gu Yiliu smiled slightly.
Cui Mingzhao suddenly realized something and heard a shout coming from the zoo behind her.
"Moo moo moo~"
Cui Mingzhao's eyes widened suddenly, and his heart skipped a beat. He looked at her and said, "You're too bold."
He realized that Gu Yiliu had deliberately led him here, and he was somewhat annoyed that he had fallen for her trap. He awkwardly turned to the person beside him, "Director, you go first..."
Wei Baosheng, who was called the bureau chief, slapped him on the back of the head, but not hard, and shouted, "What do you mean 'first'? Come with me to evacuate the crowd! If anything happens, you'll be in big trouble!"
Cui Mingzhao gave a weak "oh" and ran into the zoo. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was only one elephant and one camel. Fortunately, there weren't many of them.
Gu Yiliu stood at the door and soon saw him call a few people, trying to block the elephants and camels from leaving.
"Moo moo moo~"
The elephants and camels were not afraid of the stick in Cui Mingzhao's hand. Officer Gu had told them that they would not harm people and could damage the surrounding buildings.
They've disliked this zoo for a long time.
With a flick of its trunk, the elephant swept up the surrounding greenery and tossed it aside.
The crisp, clattering sound was exceptionally pleasant. The camel beside the elephant imitated it, raising a hoof and kicking over a nearby stool.
Cui Mingzhao ordered someone to bring ropes, attempting to weave a net around the elephants and camels. Even if it didn't completely trap them, it would at least slow them down for a while, giving Wei Baosheng time to evacuate the crowd.
But the elephant didn't let him have his way. As he approached at a distance, it sprayed him with its long trunk, instantly wetting Cui Mingzhao's face. He wiped it with his hand, not knowing whether the water stain was snot or saliva.
"..."
Suppressing his nausea, Cui Mingzhao continued his actions.
Gu Yiliu couldn't help but smile as he watched him get the short end of the stick.
"What are you laughing at? Don't you know animal language? Go and talk to them for me."
Gu Yiliu turned his head and saw the man that Cui Mingzhao had called "Director".
“My surname is Wei, Wei Baosheng, the director of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Jiashui City. Xiao Cui has told me about you.”
After Wei Baosheng finished speaking, he moved closer to her and asked in a low voice, "You released these elephants and camels, didn't you?"
Gu Yiliu's eyes flickered slightly. Although the movement was very subtle, Wei Baosheng still noticed it.
"First, calm them down. Whatever your needs are, I'll take care of them." Gu Yiliu looked at the man and smiled, which brought out a few wrinkles on his face, but the smile was somewhat sincere, and his eyes also revealed expectation.
“If you don’t make them stop, Yang Fuhai might come with a gun.”
Gu Yiliu: "Cancel his license to run the zoo, and then make sure the animals in the zoo are properly settled, okay?"
“That will definitely work!” Wei Baosheng said with certainty.
Even if it was for his career's sake, Gu Yiliu accepted it.
Gu Yiliu looked at the elephant and was about to approach when he heard Yang Fuhai's voice, "Director Wei, Director Wei, I have a hunting rifle here, do you want to... fire a shot?"
Gu Yiliu and Wei Baosheng both frowned.
Wei Baosheng looked at Yang Fuhai with displeasure. He thought the kid had some good intentions, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless. He was able to become the director of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau because he had dealt with all kinds of animals. He couldn't just shoot them indiscriminately.
Even Cui Mingzhao and others wouldn't have done that. Yang Fuhai is a hard-hearted man who only sees profit; he's definitely not suited to running a zoo.
Wei Baosheng, his mind racing, interrupted him directly, "Alright," he snatched the hunting rifle from his hand, "Don't shoot for now."
"Chief, but..."
Wei Baosheng glanced at him with a look of disgust that sent a shiver down Yang Fuhai's spine. He immediately regretted what he had just said.
He wanted to say something, but Wei Baosheng ignored him and walked towards Gu Yiliu, indicating that she could proceed.
"Copper coins, gold mountains, stop now."
Gu Yiliu approached the elephant and called out its name, which was the name of both the elephant and the camel.
Upon hearing these two names, Wei Baosheng's disgust for Yang Fuhai intensified. These two names alone were enough to reveal Yang Fuhai's greed.
Upon hearing the voice, the elephant coin immediately stopped. It had been spraying people indiscriminately with its long trunk, but it stopped as soon as it heard Gu Yilu's voice.
Wei Baosheng noticed that when Gu Yiliu approached, the elephant coin's hooves quietly retreated, and the camel, upon hearing Gu Yiliu's voice, abandoned the trash can beside it. Or rather, this camel named Jinshan had been trampling on the trash can all the time, except for kicking over the stool.
He also caught the camel occasionally glancing at Gu Yiliu.
"..." Wei Baosheng felt like he had been deceived.
"Moo moo moo!" the elephant coin let out a long moo, raising its head.
"...What is it saying?" Wei Baosheng put aside his thoughts and looked at Gu Yiliu.
"It said it didn't want to stop."
Wei Baosheng twitched his lips, the strange feeling in his heart growing stronger. He wanted to say, "Stop pretending, I'll agree to whatever you want," but then he thought of Gu Yiliu's request earlier, and he understood what she wanted to do.
So, following her lead, I said, "Ask them why they don't want to stop."
After Gu Yiliu repeated these words, the elephant and the camel both took two steps forward, and then all four eyes looked at Wei Baosheng. The crowd that had retreated to a safe area around them also couldn't help but look at him.
Wei Baosheng was taken aback. He noticed the stares from all around him and looked up at the elephants and camels that were right in front of him.
The elephant coin snorted at him, "Moo moo moo~"
The camel's large head was almost touching his face, "Neigh neigh neigh~"
"!"
"...What did they say?" Wei Baosheng wiped his face. He could feel their resentment, but he couldn't understand it at all.
"They said the zoo director abused them, used violence to force them to reproduce, beat them if they didn't cooperate, and didn't let them eat their fill."
Just then, the calls of deer came from behind the elephants and camels.
It was a sika deer. It ran up to Wei Baosheng, called out to him a few times, and then stretched out its front hooves straight towards him.
Wei Baosheng could only turn to Gu Yiliu for help, "What did it say this time?"
"The sika deer is saying that the zookeeper is taking its blood because he wants to eat its flesh, and it wants you to see the wound on its leg."
Wei Baosheng paused, his expression hardening. While the elephant and camel examples couldn't be verified, the later sika deer, with its broken antlers and wound on its forehoof, was undeniably real. Wei Baosheng could even see the needle marks.
"Director, I can explain..." Yang Fuhai's face was ashen. He didn't understand how these animals had escaped, but now was not the time to dwell on that. He ran to Wei Baosheng's side to try and explain.
Wei Baosheng's face was cold. "You don't need to explain. Xiao Cui, come with me to see the other animals. Xiao Wen, take a few people and take these animals back to their enclosures first."
Wei Baosheng also invited Gu Yiliu, and he didn't chase away the onlookers. In the end, the group walked around the zoo.
The more he looked, the louder the whispers and discussions behind him grew, and the darker Wei Baosheng's face became.
He still has some power; he can give things away according to procedure and he can take them back according to procedure. He is now extremely angry with Yang Fuhai, even though this man's brother-in-law saved his mother. "Yang Fuhai, from now on, your kindergarten's operating license is revoked."
Wei Baosheng knew that if he didn't handle this matter well, his position would be in jeopardy. "From now on, Happy Fun Zoo will be closed for rectification. All animals in the zoo will be temporarily managed by Jiashui City Zoo."
"Roar roar roar~"
"Moo moo moo~"
"Chirp chirp chirp~"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
Suddenly, various cheerful shouts filled the park. Wei Baosheng was startled by the shouts, but after realizing what was happening, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the others, while they were surprised, they also felt joy.
Gu Yiliu watched as the system's health bar surged, rising from 30% to 75% before stopping. As the system happily spun around, she almost wanted to spin around with it; the rate of increase was just too great.
"First-class, you're amazing!" Dian Dian was very excited, almost able to upgrade again, and couldn't wait for a few more big ones.
Just then, 75% suddenly jumped forward by 4%, which was seen by both the individual and the system.
The system stared at the suddenly rising health bar, and was taken aback when it sensed where it came from. "Huh? It actually succeeded!"
