Chapter 96 (Free)
As soon as Meng Qingyin sent her message, Qin Jiu replied: "Can it be cured?"
Mengmeng: "It should be fine."
Chen Leying: "Let's split the treatment costs among the three of us."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "I have no objection. The pangolin was rescued by everyone, so sharing the treatment costs is perfectly reasonable. Mengmeng, you can pay for it first, and we'll settle the score when we get back."
Mengmeng: "But your last sentence seems a bit strange."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "That seems a bit strange, hahaha, it feels like I'm going to cause you trouble."
Mengmeng: "Regarding the ore, I contacted a smelter who can help us smelt all the ore into the corresponding products, but it will cost money. We'll discuss it in detail when we get back."
Drowning sorrows in strong liquor: "Okay, we'll wait for you to come back. I'll talk to you later, Miner's Little Liquor is now online."
Meng Qingyin couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Jiu has a lively personality and is very straightforward in her actions; she is someone worth getting to know better.
As for Chen Leying...
In their previous interactions, she thought Chen Leying had a rather aloof personality, but she was surprised to find that she was so kind to animals and even offered to share the pangolin's medical expenses.
Meng Qingyin was lost in thought when she suddenly heard footsteps, followed by a serious voice:
"Hello, I am Lu Ling, an enforcement officer from the Endangered Animals Protection Association. We have received a report that you are abusing pangolins, an endangered animal. Please cooperate with our investigation."
Meng Qingyin looked up.
A long-haired woman stood in front of him, holding up her work ID and staring at him with a serious expression.
Meng Qingyin was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and explained, "Officer, you've misunderstood. I didn't mistreat the pangolins. On the contrary, I brought them to the hospital for treatment."
Lu Ling said expressionlessly, "We will investigate the ins and outs of this matter. Until we do, please come with me."
Meng Qingyin asked instinctively, "Where to?"
Lu Ling reached out and touched her shoulder. "Of course, it's the Endangered Animals Protection Association."
As Lu Ling's voice faded, Meng Qingyin felt a sudden dizziness.
The next moment, she arrived at an interrogation room.
Lu Ling asked, "Please give a detailed account of how you encountered the pangolin. We will send someone to investigate."
Meng Qingyin herself is a highway law enforcement officer, so she naturally cooperated with the investigation and told the whole story about the mine.
Of course, she definitely wouldn't mention the matter of managing the group.
Lu Ling's expression grew increasingly serious. "You mean, the three of you went mining and found those imprisoned pangolins on the second underground level of the mine?"
Meng Qingyin nodded: "That's right."
Lu Ling then asked, "What about the remaining pangolins?"
Meng Qingyin: "They're all with my friend."
Lu Ling put away the paper and pen and walked out: "Okay, we will check it soon."
Meng Qingyin called out to her, "Can I leave now?"
Lu Ling: "I'm sorry, you can't leave until the investigation is complete. But don't worry, we'll go investigate now."
Meng Qingyin: "Okay."
Lu Ling left quickly.
Meng Qingyin sent a message to Chen Leying and Qin Jiu: "I was arrested by law enforcement officers from the animal protection association."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "What's going on? Why did I get arrested out of nowhere?"
Chen Leying: "Is it because of those three injured pangolins?"
Mengmeng: "That's right. They suspect me of abusing pangolins and may come to your area to investigate soon. Just tell them the truth."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Okay, okay, are you alright, boss? They didn't torture me, did they?"
Mengmeng: "What are you thinking about?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "That's good."
Just as Meng Qingyin was about to send a message to reassure them, the interrogation room door opened.
Lu Ling came in again.
This time, she smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Ms. Meng, the doctor just called and said it was a misunderstanding."
Meng Qingyin looked surprised.
Why did that doctor change his mind again?
Lu Ling handed her a glass of water: "Ms. Meng, I'm very sorry to have taken up your time. The matter has now been investigated and cleared up. You can leave now."
With the other party's attitude completely changing, Meng Qingyin felt more confident: "Although it was a misunderstanding, you did waste my time. How do you plan to compensate me?"
Lu Ling hesitated, "This...we don't have a precedent for this."
Meng Qingyin: That's perfect, you can set a precedent today.
Meng Qingyin made it clear that she wanted compensation, and Lu Ling couldn't make a decision, so she could only appease her by saying, "Ms. Meng, please wait a moment while I go and ask the president of our association."
Meng Qingyin nodded: "Okay, but my time is very precious, so you'd better hurry."
Lu Ling jogged outside, shouting, "Coming right away!"
After saying that, he dashed out.
Before long, Lu Ling brought in a chubby man.
She introduced, "Ms. Meng, this is President Chen of our association."
Meng Qingyin nodded slightly as a greeting.
Chairman Chen smiled warmly and said, "Hello, Ms. Meng. I'm sorry to have taken up your precious time. As compensation, I'll make an exception and give you a list of endangered animals for protection. How about I also grant you the title of Goodwill Ambassador?"
"A list of endangered animals under protection?" Meng Qingyin asked. "What's the use of that?"
Chairman Chen explained with a smile, "With this list, you'll know which animals are protected by the Animal Association and cannot be hunted at will. Otherwise, you'll be hunted down by the entire association. Just like the pangolin you rescued, our entire Animal Association will do everything in its power to find the culprits and won't let them get away with it."
Meng Qingyin understood.
Here, endangered animals are protected by animal associations.
Hunting endangered animals is tantamount to making an enemy of the entire animal welfare association.
This list is still very necessary to avoid accidentally killing endangered animals.
I never expected that this survival game would have a feature that protects endangered animals.
"Then what's the use of being a goodwill ambassador?" Meng Qingyin asked again.
President Chen: "This identity is an honor, symbolizing your contribution to the protection of endangered animals."
Meng Qingyin understood. "It's just an empty title?"
Chairman Chen gave an awkward smile, "It's the highest honor!"
Meng Qingyin: "Okay, honor."
Chairman Chen bowed: "Thank you once again for rescuing the pangolin!"
Meng Qingyin, carrying a list of endangered animals under protection and a supreme honor, was taken back to her hospital ward by Lu Ling.
In the ward, the chains on the hind legs of the three pangolins had been removed, and their wounds had healed completely.
It's clear that the hospital is providing top-notch treatment.
The doctor apologized profusely: "Ms. Meng, I'm so sorry for misunderstanding you."
More than his apology, Meng Qingyin was curious about how he knew he had misunderstood her.
The doctor explained, "I can communicate with animals. They told me about your situation after the anesthesia wore off."
Meng Qingyin nodded. "I see. Now that they're all better, I should take them home. How much did the treatment cost?"
The doctor shook his head: "Free."
