"You can have fun," Commander Song said with a straight face, his tone revealing his indulgence. "But you can't be so arrogant. This is discipline."
The tabby king simply meowed in a haughty manner, and pressed the pads of his paws against the medal, poking and prodding it, as if he was inspecting the tribute given to him by humans for his enjoyment, with a very bossy demeanor.
What made Xia Zhining's pupils tremble even more was that Commander Song's hand, which was blocked by the desk, was secretly rubbing the soft fur on the back of the cat's neck!
After being discovered by her, Commander Song coughed lightly in an attempt to cover up his mistake and pretended that nothing had happened.
Xia Zhining: “!!!”
Good boy! How is this being naughty, King Lihua?
This is clearly a precise grasp!
He went straight to the heart of the matter and turned the supreme commander into his own personal masseur!
As expected of the King of Tabby Cats, he can "subdue" the local leader wherever he goes.
"Sit down, Detective Xia, don't just stand there." Commander Song smiled and patted the empty seat next to him.
Xia Zhining sat down tremblingly, and was instantly surrounded by the gazes of a group of leaders. She almost shrank into a quail.
Commander Song glanced at the people still standing around and said with a hearty laugh, "Don't just stand there, sit down!" He then turned his gaze to Ji Shuyun, his eyes full of undisguised admiration, and beckoned, "Shuyun, come and sit over here with your sister."
After the two sat down, Commander Song suddenly fumbled in his briefcase, mysteriously pulled out a few pieces of exquisitely wrapped chocolate, and stuffed them into Xia Zhining's hand: "Little boy, have some snacks to fill your stomach first."
Xia Zhining looked at the chocolate in her hand, confused.
Commander Song coughed lightly and lowered his voice, a little embarrassed, to explain, "Well...my blood sugar is a little high. My wife is very strict at home and doesn't allow me to eat sweets. I occasionally hide some in my briefcase and secretly satisfy my cravings at work."
After saying that, he winked at her, as if sharing some little secret.
Commander Song returned the Lihua King to Xia Zhining. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Commander Song felt a little reluctant.
He pinched the cat hair off his clothes and said to Xia Zhining with a kind smile, "It's okay. Small animals are very down-to-earth, much cuter than people, and easy to get along with."
Commander Song sat up straight, his expression serious again. He carefully looked at the brother and sister sitting side by side, his eyes full of admiration. "I've heard from Captain Yang that they have a specially hired expert who can communicate with animals. I didn't expect him to be so young and promising!"
Xia Zheng, who was sitting nearby, narrowed his eyes when he heard Song call Xia Zhining an "expert," and the pen in his hand tore through the paper.
Commander Song has always been decisive and demanding in dealing with people and matters. Xia Zhengxian rarely sees Commander Song being so friendly to others.
Commander Song said this, glancing amusedly at the little parrot that was still persistently muttering "bonus, bonus."
"I heard that from identifying the real culprit to arresting him, you two brothers and sisters have done a great job with these little officials."
As soon as these words came out, the police officers nearby immediately became excited and rushed to corroborate:
"It's more than just a big deal, Commander Song! You don't know, those old people in Panshui Village are completely ignorant of the law. Not only did they protect the tomb robbers, they also tried to scam us! Thanks to King Lihua and the Cat Team to save the day!"
"And Boss Crow! The Sparrow Intelligence Network he built is incredible. He helps us catch every single one of them, even more efficient than the Sky Eye system!"
"Those two little squirrels are just complete sociopaths. They even mobilized all the animals in the village to act as undercover agents for us!"
"The masterstroke was that little water snake! Who would have thought it could even crack the tomb robbers' secret room mechanism? It's like a complete undercover agent!"
......
The deputy leader of the action team said to Commander Song in a sincere tone, "In short, we were led by Director Xiao Xia and her animal team the entire day today!"
"Commander Song, why don't we give out less bonuses? Give more to these young officials! I heard running their zoo isn't easy..."
Everyone nodded in agreement and looked at Commander Song, waiting for his response.
Commander Song tapped the table lightly with his fingers, looking at the group of young people in front of him who were staring at him eagerly, and then looked at the group of "animal ministers" next to him.
After a moment's silence, a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "As for the bonus... that's easy to talk about."
"However, regarding the future of Xiaoxia's zoo, I do have a more long-term 'idea'..."
Xia Zhining and Ji Shuyun immediately perked up and looked at Commander Song.
Xia Zheng, who was busy writing on a piece of paper, suddenly raised his head, frowned, and waited for Song's next words.
