Chapter 232 Uninvited Guests
Chen Su turned his head upon hearing this and looked at Kong Cheng with a chilling gaze: "No need."
He collected the information and said, "I will be responsible for coordinating this case with Station Master Xiao Xu."
Chen Su paused, then added, "After all, this involves the illegal trade of rare species, so special attention needs to be paid to the procedures."
After saying that, he ignored Kong Cheng's puzzled look and got into the police car.
Seeing that Chen Su had already started the car engine and was about to abandon him, Kong Cheng hurried to open the car door.
When did Captain Chen become so concerned about wildlife cases? The last time they busted a pangolin smuggling case, they clearly said, "Just follow the procedures."
"Master, wait, don't leave me!"
Xu Ying looked at the convoy that was leaving, smiled, and released the lizards that had just been caught by poachers from the cages.
The captured little lizards thanked Xu Ying and slipped back into the underground sand cave.
Xu Ying stretched, climbed onto the horse, and asked the Przewalski's horse to take her back to her dune scooter.
Inside the air box covered with sunscreen on the dune scooter, the mother lizard with a broken tail was anxiously awaiting Xu Ying's return. Upon seeing her return, she quickly asked, "How's Station Master Xu? Has my child been found?"
The bearded dragons that had lost their little friend also came over and looked up at Xu Ying with expectant eyes.
Xu Ying soothed them gently, "The bad guys who kidnapped them have just been apprehended. We have professional human police officers tracking down your children and their friends. It might take some time."
"I'm sorry for not stopping these guys in time."
The understanding lizards shook their heads and said, "Thank you, Xiao Xu, you've done so much for us."
Xu Ying asked for their opinions: "While waiting for the other lizards to be sent back, do you want to come back to the rescue station with me or go home first?"
The mother desert night lizard and the bearded dragon, one big and five small, looked at each other in confusion.
[Stationmaster Xiao Xu, we want to stay in the aid station.]
"Yes, yes. It's so fun to see you treating other animals every day. We also want to be able to save our animal companions like you!"
[When I grow up, I want to be a veterinarian like the stationmaster's sister.]
[Webmaster Xu, please help us find partners, and we want to help you too. We are very sensitive to changes in the environment and can sense changes in humidity and air quality.]
[Yes, our touch and sounds can soothe other animals.]
The lizards have become curious about Xu Ying's daily work. During the past few days of getting along with him, they have witnessed the charm of the young stationmaster Xu. Infected by Xu Ying, they also want to be a little desert hero.
Xu Ying listened to the lizards' chirping and looked at these two-finger-sized little guys. "Okay, okay, don't worry. You're still so young. I'll try to get you involved in the work at the rescue station."
The lizards happily returned to their cages and found the motivation to live again.
Xu Ying drove a dune scooter towards the rescue station.
From a distance, I could see the villagers from Dongqing Village transporting building materials to the open space outside the station in their large trucks. The colored steel plates and steel bars were piled up into a small hill.
The construction of simple staff dormitories has started and will be put into use within a month.
Xu Ying inspected the empire he had conquered with satisfaction. When he turned around, a smile froze on his face.
There was a gray SUV parked next to the truck that the fellow villager was using to deliver goods. Kuang Ming, deputy director of the Desertification Control Area Management Office, and two men in suits blocked her way.
Xu Ying narrowed his eyes.
Last time at the rescue station headquarters, Deputy Director Kuang became much quieter after being criticized by Professor Fu.
Unexpectedly, it is difficult to change one's nature, and now it is jumping around in front of her again.
"Xiao Xu."
Behind Kuang Ming were two fat middle-aged men in suits.
Kuang Ming straightened his coat and said with a forced smile, "These two are the owners of the construction team that we have long-term cooperation with in our governance area. Let them handle the staff dormitory project."
The two men behind him immediately handed over their business cards with flattering smiles on their faces.
"Station Master Xu, I've heard a lot about you!"
"Leave this staff dormitory project to us. We guarantee that it will be completed quickly and efficiently, and that Station Master Xu will return with a full load."
The man's emphasis was placed on the four words "return with a full load", which was very suggestive.
Xu Ying forced a smile and chuckled. She was also feeling better. Some people came up to her to curry favor with her and offer bribes.
She glanced at the business card and said coldly, "Sorry, both of you, the dormitory construction contract has already been signed with the Holly Village Construction Team and the Qiao Group."
Kuang Ming's smile froze on his face. "The people in Dongqing Village are all roughnecks who run around all day, and they can't do their jobs well! They're just a bunch of vagrants!"
The two big bosses following him immediately took out a large bag from the car and said, "Master Xu, this is a small gift from me. Please accept it."
The big bag is filled with brand-name bags, cosmetics, skin care products...
Xu Ying didn't even glance at him. Her face was cold and unmoved. "Director Yi has already reviewed the contract, and this is a matter for the 032 Desert Rescue Station. I have the final say on who gets hired."
Kuang Ming's face darkened as he looked at Xu Ying, "Don't think you're all arrogant just because you're so popular now. Just because your fans call you 'Master Xu' you're going to be all over the place! Do you really think you're that important?"
"After all, I'm your leader, and you have to obey my orders when you're under me!"
Kuang Ming was about to explode when he suddenly noticed two brand new black commercial vehicles parked in front of the shelter.
He narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically, "Wow, Station Master Xu is quite capable. He contacted investors privately? I wonder how much kickbacks he took?"
Xu Ying looked back at the two business cars and was completely confused. She didn't know who the two cars belonged to.
Before she could respond, the doors of the business car suddenly opened at the same time.
The smugness on Kuang Ming's face froze instantly - the people who got out of the car were not the wealthy investors he had imagined.
The temperament of the man in the lead gave him the feeling that he was a member of the inspection team from the capital who came to the desertification control area. Wherever he went, his demeanor was different, and he had the air of a grand hall.
It’s just that the person who got off the car was unexpectedly young.
The leading man walked slowly over, his figure as straight as a pine tree, wearing a neatly tailored army green work suit.
He wore gold-rimmed glasses, and his fox eyes behind the lenses were calm and sharp. His hair was meticulously combed back, revealing his well-defined forehead.
Xu Ying was also dumbfounded when she saw the man getting out of the car. He was very young and gave her the feeling of Uncle Qin's adjutant at the military base, well-mannered yet oppressive.
The man's collar was buttoned to the top, and a low-key silver cufflink on his cuff was shining with a cold light. His whole body exuded an abstinent, restrained and introverted temperament.
