Chapter 89 Abuse
President Zhang suddenly walked to the front of the cage and said with a mysterious smile: "Dear guests, can you guess what animal is in this cage?"
“Ah…”
A shrill cry came from the cage.
President Zhang was the closest and took two steps backward. Fortunately, he was supported by a staff member nearby and did not fall.
The other people present were not much better off. They all took a deep breath, until they realized that the sound came from inside the cage. Only then did they feel relieved.
Someone jokingly said, "President Zhang, hurry up and uncover it. Everyone knows it's a wolf."
Amidst the laughter, Chu Qiao frowned. Others could not hear the difference in the sound, but she could. The howl of the little wolf cub was clearly the wolf pack's cry for help and to summon its companions.
Why is the wolf cub so panicked?
As he was speaking, President Zhang had already walked back onto the stage and waved his hand: "Open."
The curtain was lifted in response, and Chu Qiao's eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked at the cage.
The wolf cub was thinner. Not only was it thinner, but its originally shiny fur had lost its luster. At this moment, there was fire in its eyes as it stared straight at the humans outside the cage.
Chu Qiao expected the little wolf cub to look at him and wanted to give it a comforting look.
But she was standing in the dark, and the wolf cub didn't notice her.
There was some yellow liquid in the cage, probably the wolf cub's excrement. The staff approached the cage and wanted to deal with it to avoid visual disturbance. Before they touched the cage, the wolf cub went crazy and banged the cage with all its limbs. A big bulge appeared on its head due to the impact.
The president was a little embarrassed, but he reacted quickly and explained immediately: "This is a normal stress response for animals. Don't worry, it will be fine in a while. Besides, this cage is reinforced, so there will be no danger."
Mo Tao walked over, pulled the staff away, and said gently, "Let me do it."
The little wolf cub felt a little relieved when he saw the person coming, but judging from the laugh and roar coming from his throat, he was not in good condition.
Chu Qiao suppressed his anger and waited for President Zhang beside the stage full of spotlights.
Chairman Zhang held his heart with his hand, as if he had just been frightened. He cursed softly, "What an ungrateful idiot! You scared me to death."
Although Chu Qiao was angry, she still maintained courtesy in such an occasion.
"Hello, President Zhang."
President Zhang changed his expression, extended his hand, and laughed: "Miss Chu, this is your first time participating in our event. How do you feel?"
Chu Qiao suppressed his discomfort and gently touched President Zhang's pig-trotter-like hand: "I have no experience, so I dare not speak out."
Chu Qiao suddenly changed the subject: "President, I brought the little wolf cub back. I tend to be nosy. I heard that this stress reaction usually lasts for a while before it becomes normal. It's been almost a month, little wolf cub, haven't you adapted yet?"
President Zhang waved his hand and said, "Miss Chu, this is just an amateur. With so many people here today, it's normal for him to react like this."
Chu Qiao nodded, but he didn't agree with his answer in his heart.
"President, can I take a closer look at it?"
Chairman Zhang: "It's very irritable now..."
Chu Qiao interrupted, "Don't worry, President. I will protect myself if there is any danger."
Chairman Zhang glanced at Chu Qiao and said he must be careful, but in his heart he was thinking: Anyway, the purpose of using her to invite Chen Ao has been achieved, so it doesn't matter what she does, but...
Chairman Zhang pulled over a staff member and said, "Keep an eye on her. Don't let her touch any animals."
Chu Qiao strode towards the little wolf cub, with Feng Ge following behind her.
As Chu Qiao approached step by step, the little wolf seemed to see her. The little wolf cub, who was originally growling softly, stopped and looked at Chu Qiao.
But when Chu Qiao was one meter away from it, the little wolf cub suddenly barked wildly. Chu Qiao frowned and found that its eyes were looking behind him.
Chu Qiao turned around and said, "Brother Feng, wait for me here."
Although Brother Feng wanted to see the little wolf cub up close, he had no choice but to stop.
Mo Tao, who was cleaning her cage, said, "Its personality is a bit strange. It won't accept anyone other than me. You better be careful."
Chu Qiao nodded. When Mo Tao turned to leave, Chu Qiao suddenly asked, "Have you been taking care of it?"
Chu Qiao had a good impression of Mo Tao, and she wanted to know some useful information from Mo Tao.
Mo Tao scratched his head. "It's not me. I'm an intern. The association only allows me to take back the rescued animals. I won't be responsible for that once I'm back."
Chu Qiao looked at Mo Tao with an inappropriate look, clear yet a bit embarrassed.
Mo Tao: "I...Is there something dirty on my face?"
Chu Qiao shook his head: "No, go deal with the things on your hands first."
Mo Tao looked down at his injured bag holding the wolf cub's excrement, his face flushed, and he immediately disappeared into the crowd.
Chu Qiao squatted down and approached the cage little by little, calling out, "Little guy, do you remember me?"
"I haven't seen you for a month. You've grown up."
The little wolf cub seemed to understand Chu Qiao's words. It calmed down and stared at Chu Qiao with its eyes fixed.
Chu Qiao felt sorry for the little wolf cub who used to hold onto his trouser leg and roll around in a rage, now locked in a cage with no freedom.
She squatted down and looked the little wolf in the eye. The little wolf obviously calmed down. Chu Qiao reached out her hand and wanted to touch the little wolf.
"Miss Chu, I'm sorry, but you can't touch the animals in my association. I'm afraid of infecting them with bacteria."
Chu Qiao slowly turned his head and looked at the person who came, without any retreat.
Just as the visitor's eyes were wandering, the little wolf cub poked its mouth out of the cage and grabbed her sleeve as it did before.
Chu Qiao lowered his head and laughed: "You little guy, how come you still can't change your habit of biting people's clothes?"
She flipped her wrist, pulled the sleeve out of the wolf cub's mouth, and reached out to touch the wolf cub's body.
The set of movements was smooth and flowing, and the staff who came to stop him didn't even see her movements clearly, and she had already touched him.
"Chu Qiao..." Brother Feng looked at her worriedly, afraid that she would be bitten.
Chu Qiao nodded, indicating that he knew his limits.
"Miss Chu, you can't..." Before the man could finish his words, Mo Tao, who had rushed over, suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Brother, please help me, the dog over there is defecating again." As he spoke, he dragged the man away.
Chu Qiao's hand touched the wolf cub's dull fur. Even with the thick fur, Chu Qiao could still clearly feel its bony body.
Chu Qiao's eyes suddenly became fierce. What stress reaction? The little wolf cub is very smart. As long as others are nice to it, it will not have such a big reaction.
Feeling Chu Qiao's gaze, the wolf cub suddenly became anxious, and Chu Qiao softened his eyes.
"I'm not mean to you, little one."
The little wolf cub began to groan.
A group of business elites were originally afraid of wolves, but when they saw that the little wolf cub had no hostility towards Chu Qiao, they all came forward to watch.
Some people even wanted to touch the wolf cub like Chu Qiao did.
