Chapter 74
It took a long time for Snowflake to take this bath.
There was no other way, it was too dirty, Mu Ling brushed it back and forth several times.
But the effect after washing was immediate.
Snowflake's white is not pure white, it still has the black stripes of the tiger. When it was gray before, those black stripes and gray hair almost merged into one, and the whole thing looked dirty.
But now after washing, it instantly became black and white, and its features became delicate.
"Ahhh! It's glowing!"
"What a beauty my Snow Flower has! I thought Dabao and Xiaobao were very pretty when I watched their videos. It turns out they inherited my Snow Flower's genes! The black stripes and white fur are absolutely amazing, and the combination makes her look classy and noble!"
"I don't care. Even if the sky falls today, Snow Flower must be the supreme empress dowager of our Piccolo Zoo!"
"Hahaha, who wants to pay respects to the empress dowager? Oh, it's me!"
"Ahhh, are you going to take Snow Flower away, Director? No, I want to see her again!"
"No, I'm not taking her away. You're going to blow-dry her fur here!"
Yes, Mu Ling got up just to get the special hair dryer.
As Mu Ling stood up, Snowflake also stood up from the ground. After it stood still, it shook its fur. Instantly, water droplets flew around it. The sunlight from the sky just happened to fall on this area, and the water droplets seemed to be dyed with crystal orange light. The picture was as beautiful as a vivid oil painting.
There happened to be a professional photographer among the tourists. He immediately froze this scene, and then added a few still pictures of Snowflake after shaking its fur, and then saved them excitedly.
The onlookers also thought this scene was amazing, and many of them took pictures, but after all, they were not professionals, so the pictures they took were not so atmospheric.
At this time, Mu Ling also took the hair dryer from the staff, sat on a small plastic stool, and began to blow the hair of Snow Flower.
The hair dryer was silent, and the white tiger could not hear the noise. He only felt that the warm wind was very comfortable, so he simply leaned lazily in Mu Ling's arms, and occasionally licked Mu Ling's wrist.
After blowing the hair for about half an hour, when Snow Flower was completely refurbished successfully, Mu Ling stood up, then made a gesture to Snow Flower, asking Snow Flower to stand next to her.
Although still old and hunched, the white tiger, who was already shiny, bright and flamboyant, stood honestly beside Mu Ling.
Mu Ling bowed to the crowd, pointed to the ground and said to Snowflake, "Look here, Snowflake."
Snowflake looked at the ground in confusion, but saw nothing.
But when Snowflake lowered her head, it seemed to others that it had also bowed. The man and the tiger seemed to be doing a curtain call at the same time.
The audience below was immediately blown up, with loud applause and cheers!
Mu Ling smiled, touched Snowflake's head, and took it to the back.
The tourists didn't want them to leave, and kept shouting "Director" and "Snowflake", obviously wanting to interact with them for a while.
Chai Yunyue was caught in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by the roars of tourists. Such a noisy environment is usually prone to accidents. He turned his head and said to his subordinates, "Let's go out..."
"Ahhh! Xuehua, don't go! Xuehua, don't go!"
Chai Yunyue: "..."
Chai Yunyue looked at his subordinates who suddenly looked sad and heartbroken in shock, his pupils trembling!
Is this still his always serious and well-behaved confidant? Do you remember that you are at work!
Chai Yunyue went to find Hong Jiang again. This researcher Hong came with a mission. Now that the female director has ended, they should go find her.
After searching for a long time, Chai Yunyue finally found Hong Jiang, but he discovered that Hong Jiang was pulling a tourist and pestering him to buy his photos. He also said that he was from the War Beast Center and that the photos would be used on the cover of the War Beast official website's special column on the horned tiger.
The tourist was obviously a little tempted, but the two were still arguing about the copyright fee, because if they wanted to use it commercially, they had to buy the portrait rights of Snowflake from the zoo.
Chai Yunyue: "..."
No, no one is watching him?
"Director Chai, it's too chaotic here and it's not safe. Let's go outside." Colonel Val stepped forward and said very cautiously.
Chai Yunyue immediately looked at the colonel who was doing his duty with a smile on his face: "Okay."
Five minutes later, Chai Yunyue stood outside the animal dormitory. He looked at the middle-aged colonel beside him, who was excitedly doing little tricks with a golden tiger in the animal dormitory.
You don't really want to take me to a clean place...
You just want to come and see the tearing tiger!
"Director Chai, why are you here? Don't you dislike animals?"
The bathhouse was over, and the tourists all came to the animal dormitory. Hong Jiang and his subordinates finally found Director Chai.
Seeing that Director Chai had come to the animal dormitory early to take a seat, Hong Jiang felt that this person was quite stubborn. He had said before that he didn't like animals.
Chai Yunyue didn't want to say anything anymore. He asked tiredly, "Are we going to see Director Mu now?"
Hong Jiang immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes." Then he looked around again and asked suspiciously, "Hey, where is the young man who led the way?"
Chai Yunyue looked around and found that the male employee was gone.
Hong Jiang suddenly looked at Chai Yunyue with a subtle expression: "Director Chai, weren't you talking to that guy just now? What did you talk about?"
Chai Yunyue paused: "Nothing."
The subordinate beside him suddenly whispered: "I heard that the director flirted with Director Mu and the male employee was angry and left..."
Chai Yunyue: "..."
Chai Yunyue immediately looked at his subordinate: "What did you say?"
The subordinate was very frightened and lowered his head, but still said weakly: "You, you asked Director Mu how old he was, whether he had a boyfriend, and what he liked or not. The male employee must have thought you were a pervert and left without paying attention to us..."
Chai Yunyue: "..."
Hong Jiang was immediately very angry: "Director Chai, did you really say such obscene words?"
"I..."
Chai Yunyue suddenly didn't know how to explain... He did ask, but that wasn't what he meant!
Colonel Val was listening on the side, and he felt that his worldview was completely destroyed. This Director Chai was actually such a person?
No, after the mission is over, he must expose this matter in the group! Let everyone report anonymously, and let this Chai accept internal review as soon as possible! He
asked the girl how old she was and whether she had a boyfriend the first time they met. It can be seen that he has done this kind of thing a lot!
He wouldn't be a habitual offender! Chai Yunyue suddenly jumped into the Milky Way and couldn't wash it off!
So, when Hong Jiang and his group finally saw Mu Ling twenty minutes later, Chai Yunyue was blocked by the crowd at the end.
"Director Mu, I've heard a lot about you." Hong Jiang took the initiative to extend his hand.
Mu Ling shook hands with Researcher Hong: "Hello, hello, please take a seat."
Hong Jiang came this time mainly for the War Beast Nursery and Mu Ling's previous sharing session on the Four Bays. The purpose of his visit this time was to participate in the entire process of the first batch of war beasts entering the War Beast Nursery.
When Mu Ling heard this, he felt embarrassed. You are not one of us, and it is not convenient to bring you along... Hong Jiang hurriedly said that he would not disturb them, but would just watch and take notes from the side. After
hearing his repeated assurances, and considering that the War Beast Center is their superior unit, Mu Ling finally agreed.
After the negotiations, Hong Jiang heard that a snow bear war beast had already been stationed in the nursery, and immediately expressed that he wanted to go and see it now, so Mu Ling asked Fas to take him to see it.
When the few people left, Mu Ling had just sent them to the door when she heard a quiet male voice suddenly ring out from the crowd: "Director Mu, my surname is Chai."
Mu Ling was stunned.
The surroundings also became quiet in an instant.
Mu Ling looked into the crowd and saw a handsome young man who pushed aside the people in front of him, walked up to her step by step, looked into her eyes, and said: "Excuse me, is it convenient for me to talk to you alone?"
The surroundings became quieter.
Mu Ling felt that the atmosphere was not right. She looked at Hong Jiang, who was obviously nervous, and then looked at the other people around her who were also nervous. She was a little puzzled, but thinking that they were all leaders of the War Beast Center, she said: "Okay."
Soon, in full view of the public, the two went to a place not far away to talk alone.
Chai Yunyue could feel that there were at least a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him from behind, as if if he did anything wrong, these people would rush up and execute him on the spot!
Chai Yunyue didn't know why the situation had turned out like this. He looked a little haggard and asked Mu Ling: "Excuse me, on the night of September 21st, did any strangers come to your Bic Zoo?"
September 21st, a very precise date, but it had been too long in the past, and that was before she went to the exchange meeting.
Mu Ling thought for a while and shook her head: "Our zoo usually does not receive strangers, unless people from other units come and it is too late to leave, so they will stay overnight. It was September 21st, I can't remember clearly, is there anything I can help you with?"
Chai Yunyue carefully observed Mu Ling's expression when she heard September 21st. There was nothing wrong with her expression, and she didn't seem to think there was anything special about this day.
After a moment of silence, Chai Yunyue said, "I want to check the surveillance of your park on September 21st. Here is my ID."
He took out his ID. Mu Ling took a look and was a little surprised: "Aren't you from the War Beast Center?"
Chai Yunyue said, "Director of the Presidential Special Security Department, Chai Yunyue, I have a case and hope you can cooperate."
Mu Ling looked at him for a while and said, "I'll make a call."
Mu Ling made a call to Xiang Bie, who answered the call quickly. Mu Ling said directly, "Come here, I'm downstairs in the office building."
Soon, Xiang Bie came over from the garage.
Chai Yunyue looked at the male staff member, and his eyes turned red in an instant.
It was because this man left quietly that he was mistaken for a perverted pervert!
Mu Ling pulled Xiang Bie aside to talk: "This man said he was from the Security Bureau. There is a case that requires us to retrieve the surveillance footage from September 21. I don't know whether what he said is true or not, and I don't know what the Security Bureau is."
Xiang Bie glanced at Chai Yunyue and said in a low voice: "He came here with the people from the War Beast Center, so there shouldn't be any problem."
Mu Ling whispered: "Now I even doubt the identity of Mr. Hong. He said he Is it from the War Beast Center? I feel like they are a fraud gang. What surveillance can't the local troops come to investigate? And why that day? If they were investigating a theft case, it wouldn't be that day. Do you think I should contact Major Chang?"
Seeing that Mu Ling was nervous and ready to call the police at any time, Xiang Bie pointed in another direction with his chin: "Look over there."
Mu Ling was stunned and looked in the direction of his sight.
Xiang Bie said: "Colonel Val, the former owner of Qilin."
Mu Ling was a little surprised.
She knew that the owner of Qilin was Colonel Val, but she had never seen him.
Xiang Bie said, "Colonel Val is with them, so they are not a fraud gang. If you want to monitor them, just transfer them and let them sign. Just complete the formalities."
Mu Ling nodded and said, "Then you transfer him."
Xiang Bie left. When he came back, he had an information disk in his hand. He handed it to Mu Ling.
Mu Ling gave the information disk to Chai Yunyue and asked him to sign again.
After everyone finally left, Mu Ling suddenly turned her head to look at Brother Xiang and asked, "Brother Xiang, I remember that the surveillance at the entrance of our veterinary station had some problems before, and it would get stuck. On September 21, the surveillance had not been changed, so the view outside the veterinary station should still be stuck, right?"
Xiang Bie was stunned. He lowered his eyes to look at Mu Ling, and for a moment, his eyes were deep.
Mu Ling sighed softly, "Hey, I hope these big leaders won't come to trouble us again because our surveillance is stuck. Or the director, I can't afford to offend him."
Mu Ling said and walked towards the veterinary station, as if it was just a casual complaint.
But Xiang Bie looked at Mu Ling's back, and for a moment, he felt that he couldn't see through her.
No, he seemed to have never seen through her.
Many people say that Mu Ling has a good temper, a good personality, and is gentle, but most of them forget one thing.
She graduated from graduate school before she was 20 years old, and she earned hundreds of thousands of bonuses in her first job after graduation.
She is a very, very, very smart person.
She might have seen through some of the hidden things a long time ago.
Xiang Bie thought of the communication just now.
Mu Ling suddenly called him and only said, "Come here for a moment, I'm downstairs in the office building."
This is not the tone she usually speaks.
She usually says, "Brother Xiang, where are you, come here for a moment, I have something here."
She didn't call him "Brother Xiang" just now.
But just now, in front of Chai Yunyue, she never called him from beginning to end.
As if deliberately avoiding him.
His eyes became darker, Xiang Bie was silent for a moment, and looked forward again.
He saw that Mu Ling's figure had completely disappeared...
-The
video of Xuehua before and after taking a bath suddenly went viral on Star Network.
Some netizens who saw the video envied the tourists who visited today and caught up with the bathing activity. Some complained that it was too difficult to get tickets to the Piccolo Zoo. They tried for a month but still couldn't get one. Some took screenshots for daily collection. After all, the snowflakes were not open to the public yet, and they didn't know when they would see them next time.
At nine o'clock in the evening, in a house on Monina Star, the hostess checked her daughter's homework and was urging her to go to bed early when she heard the door outside suddenly ring.
The daughter ran out immediately, shouting happily, "Dad!"
The man of the house opened the door. He put down the suitcase in his hand, caught his daughter who was running towards him, hugged her and asked, "Do you miss Dad?"
The daughter said sweetly, "Yes! I also miss 'Hurricane'. Dad, can you take me to see 'Hurricane' this weekend?"
The hostess came out of the house at this time, took her daughter from her husband's arms, and tapped her daughter's nose: "Hurricane is a war beast, how can we meet it whenever we want."
The daughter was a little disappointed, hugged her mother's neck and said coquettishly, "But I Want to see him, mom? I told my classmates that my dad was a war beast, but no one believed me because I don’t even have a photo of Hurricane. Mom, I want to take a photo with Hurricane…”
The male owner said helplessly, “Hurricane is a military beast, you can’t just take a photo of him.”
The daughter still refused, so the female owner had to carry her back to the room and coax her to sleep. Then she came out and asked, “You took so long on this mission, you didn’t get hurt, did you?”
The male owner saw that the door was tightly closed, so he took off his coat. Suddenly, the wound on the back shoulder under his military vest was exposed.”
The female owner was startled and hurried over to check the wound. The more she looked, the more shocked she was, “Is it so serious? "
The man smiled, holding his wife's hand, and said softly: "You can take a half-month vacation. It's just right. Yuanyuan wants to see War Beasts, right? Let's go to the God King Star."
The hostess was stunned: "The God King Star..."
The man looked into his wife's eyes and said: "I saw it when I got the computer yesterday. The Bick Zoo on the God King Star released a video of Snowflake. Snowflake came down from the mountain."
The hostess's expression suddenly became unnatural: "I..."
"I know you have been donating to Snowflake." The man still held his wife's hand, his palm was very warm: "Back in the military academy, you were obviously the owner of Snowflake. If it weren't for that accident, you and Snowflake would not have been separated. I know you have been regretting all these years, especially after giving birth to Yuanyuan. You knew that Snowflake retired. During that time, your mood was always bad. "
The hostess bit her lip, and then said: "Snowflake retired at the age of 12. Before retiring, she even left offspring, providing new students for the War Beast Academy. She dedicated her entire life to the Federation, but what was her life like after retirement? If I hadn't discovered that the zoo was withholding animal food, I can't imagine how Snowflake would be tortured!"
The male host said: "You reported them, you did a good job."
The hostess continued: "But after that, I thought it was just an accident, but later I found out that its owner didn't care about it at all, so no matter how it was treated, no one would help it. What can I do? I can only keep donating to it, but I don't know its current situation. Every time I call to ask, the zoo says it is doing well. I can't see it, and I don't know if it is really doing well. I can only pray that it can live two more years, two more years..." "It
's doing well now. "The man said seriously: "Have you watched today's video? It's very beautiful. After taking a bath, it seems to have turned back to its young appearance."
"I saw it." The hostess' eyes were a little red: "That director Mu, when brushing it, when blowing its hair, Snowflake was very relaxed. It was comfortable. It didn't feel uncomfortable or uncomfortable. It was happy..."
"Then don't you want to see it with your own eyes?" The man wiped the tears from the corners of his wife's eyes: "You have always cared about it, and you have always paid attention to it."
The hostess bit her lip and looked at her husband disappointedly: "But it is not open to visitors, and we can't see it if we go there."
"You have Snowflake's donation form. For four whole years, the donations have exceeded one million. Almost most of the profits of your clothing store have been filled in. I believe that Director Mu will agree to let you see it alone when he sees the donation form. "
The hostess was a little nervous: "Principal Mu, he seems to be a very good person...but, Snow Flower doesn't know me..."
"It knows you." The host said: "You were together for a whole year."
The hostess suddenly felt a little dazed. Yes, in her freshman year, she had excellent grades and applied for an S-level war beast. She named it Snow Flower.
But in her sophomore year, she was in a car accident, which caused her left leg to be severely fractured. After that, she had to drop out of the Beast Academy because even if her leg was healed, it could not withstand the high-dose training of the military.
She touched her left leg with her hand. Now her leg can walk normally, and that military academy career seems to be a thing of the past life.
"It must have forgotten me..." The hostess was a little sad: "It's been too long, fifteen years ago, it won't remember me. "
Tigers have good memories." The man continued to encourage his wife: "Let's give it a try, go and see it. Even if it really doesn't remember you, at least you saw it, right?"
The woman looked at her husband again. After a while, her heart suddenly started beating faster. She asked: "Then... when are we going?"
The man smiled and said: "Let's go tomorrow. Ask for leave for Yuanyuan!"
The woman looked at her husband's wound again: "But you..."
"It's just a minor injury. We only have half a month of vacation, and we can't waste a single day. I heard that tickets to the Piccolo Zoo are hard to get, and we don't know when we can get one!"
The hostess was so excited by her husband's words that she immediately said, "Well, I'll go pack my things now!"
As she said this, she was about to get up and go back to her room.
But at this moment, her computer suddenly rang.
The beeping reminder sound kept ringing, as if it was the sound in the group.
Is it the parent group of her daughter? She had no choice but to open the computer, but found that a strange group name popped up.
Love and support in the same zoo?
She had never joined this group.
The hostess looked at her husband, and her husband was also puzzled. In just two seconds, several more messages appeared in the upper right corner of this group.
The hostess clicked on the group, and immediately saw some names she didn't recognize.
Lieutenant Herman? Lieutenant General Mylo? Commander Duan?
"This... is a mistake? Husband, this is your group, right? Did you add my wrong computer number?"
The hostess was confused. Her husband was her classmate in the military academy and is now a member of the Beast Army. Even if there are groups for lieutenants, lieutenant generals, and commanders, they should be her husband's work group, right?
The host looked at the name of Lieutenant General Mylo and frowned: "This seems to be the commander of our planet? The superior of my superior?"
The hostess and the hostess were very suspicious.
At this time, a name called "Xiang Bie" suddenly appeared in the group, and he sent a line of text.
Xiang Bie: [@Ms. Fang, this is the owner of Snowflake. 】
The hostess was stunned when she saw that she was tagged, and then she saw the word "snowflake" and was a little surprised.
In the group, Lieutenant General Mileo, who was said to be her husband's boss, also sent a reply.
Lieutenant General Mileo: [@Ms. Fang, welcome, I am the owner of moonlight, please take care of me.]
Then, there were replies from others.
Lieutenant Herman: [@Ms. Fang, welcome, I am the owner of lightning, please take care of me.] Lieutenant
Colonel Song: [@Ms. Fang, welcome, I am the owner of invincibility...]
[@Ms. Fang, welcome, I am...]
Messages popped up one after another, and Ms. Fang was completely dumbfounded.
She quickly replied: [I am not the owner of snowflake, is there something wrong?]
No one else said anything for a while, and that "Xiang Bie" replied again.
Item: [According to the review, you are fulfilling the duties of the Snowflake Guardian, so you are added to the group. If it makes you uncomfortable, you can leave the group. ]
Ms. Fang: "..."
Ms. Fang looked at the five words "Snowflake Guardian", suddenly raised her hand, covered her mouth, and her eyes were instantly wet.
She wanted so much, so much, and so much that she was really the guardian of Snowflake...
But she had already missed it...
