Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 224 Let the Upsetting Things Pass Quickly
The three people who were waiting all took photos that they were satisfied with, and it was almost time for breakfast.

Chen Ying followed them back, and when they were halfway there, Chen Ying's cell phone rang.

"Brother Ying, where are you now?"

"Me? I'm on my way back to camp in the river valley with three teammates. What happened?"

"Don't come back for now. Find a place to hide. If all else fails, head towards the sentry post."

Dao Meihua finished her words quickly and hung up the phone. Chen Ying called several times, but the phone only got a busy tone.

"What's going on? What happened?"

The other three were confused and didn't know what to do.

I quickly picked up my phone and called my companions, but the line was busy.

Not feeling too good, Chen Ying looked at the three of them and decided to listen to Dao Meihua and run straight to the sentry post.

He felt that this matter might be related to those two weird team members, but he didn't dare to say anything until the dust settled.

"Let's go, let's go to the sentry post first. No matter what, it's definitely the safest place."

The other three nodded and followed decisively.

After walking in silence for more than ten minutes, one of them couldn't help but speak.

"I wonder if it has something to do with the previous cross-border poaching case. They said they had a clue, but after tracking it for several months, there was no follow-up."

Yunnan Province has a very long border, and although neighboring countries are also cracking down on poaching, the intensity is nowhere near as strong as ours.

"I think we should take ruthless action. When I was in college, there were quite a few green peacocks here, but now, three years have passed. I have been a volunteer for three years and I have not photographed one."

There is no possibility of compatibility between animal protectors and poachers.

From the valley to the outpost, there was nothing but jungle and no roads.

They were struggling to find the right direction in the forest, so it was impossible for them to go any faster.

"Wait, there seems to be some movement."

Chen Ying was startled and grabbed his teammates, signaling everyone to hide first.

A few minutes later, a black bear swaggered past the tree.

Several people hiding in the trees covered their mouths and noses, fearing that a heavy breath would attract a critical attack from the black bear.

Chen Ying wasn't too worried about the big guy below. He always felt that there was danger ahead, and it was not caused by animals.

After the black bear left, the four of them discussed and decided to wait on the tree for a while. With Chen Ying there, no wild beasts would attack them.

The more anxious you are, the slower time goes.

At almost eleven o'clock, one of the people's cell phone finally rang.

"Hey, how are you guys doing now?"

Both sides spoke at the same time, and then the person who called said that they had arrived at the sentry post, but saw that the four of them had not arrived yet and were afraid that something had happened, so they called to inquire about the situation.

"We just encountered a black bear in the woods and hid for a while. Now we are wondering whether to continue hiding or go to the sentry post."

The other side told them to come to the sentry post, saying that the team leader had just called to tell them that two team members who were changing infrared cameras had encountered poachers.

"No casualties?"

"One was injured, but the other luckily escaped. Those poachers seemed to be chasing some animal, and they left before we had time to say anything more."

Chen Ying and the others looked at each other and simultaneously thought of Tiger Lord and the clouded leopard that caught the parrot.

"What should we do? Which way should we go now?"

"Let's leave the forest first." Chen Ying said without hesitation, "Poachers, especially those who cross the border, are extremely vicious people. We are not strong enough to fight, and running around in the forest will easily cause trouble for others."

"Okay, let's go then."

"Wait, we're not going this way, we're going to the village."

Chen Ying was almost certain that the two men had some connection with the poachers. He didn't know what the specific connection was, but judging from the degree of hatred they had for him, they would most likely ambush him along the way.

It was not convenient for Chen Ying to tell them directly, so she could only find another excuse.

"I just checked. Going southwest along the river is the village where the baby elephant was rescued. Let's go over there and ask for help. Maybe we can help."

Sure enough, there was no danger as they went down the river. The biggest danger was the steep slope and slippery road. All four of them were covered in mud.

When they arrived at the village, Chen Ying and the others told the village chief about the situation. The village chief immediately asked them to go to the village committee to rest first, and he personally called the sentry post to report that they were safe.

Chen Ying finally found some time and called Dao Meihua.

The call was quickly connected. Dao Meihua breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Chen Ying and the others had successfully arrived at the village.

"I'm sorry, I'll explain it to you when we get back. I think this investigation can only end here. I've contacted a car and it will come to the village to pick you up."

In fact, even if Dao Meihua didn't say it, Chen Ying had also pieced together a general idea.

In the final analysis, the two cases were handled as one.

The two weird guys in the team are probably part of a huge chain of interests.

Chen Ying speculated that even Director Song and his son-in-law might be pawns in the hands of poachers.

It is not difficult to understand why Director Song’s son-in-law hates him so much.

In less than a year on Jiamugou Mountain, he directly disrupted two poachers' operations. Who else should we hate if not him?
From this reasoning, Dao Meihua's sincere invitation to him to participate in this operation may not be without the intention of using him as bait.

I just don’t know what role Senior Sister Bai from Lao Gao played in this.

Chen Ying was holding his phone and thinking silently, not noticing the conflicted expressions on the faces of the other three people looking at him.

"Brother Ying, you should leave Yunnan Province as soon as possible. Come back when this matter is completely over. I will accompany you to the jungle to find big cats then." The young teammate who had a better relationship with Chen Ying couldn't help but come over. "We just learned that someone in the team is colluding with poachers and wants to use your luck to trap rare animals."

What do you mean, use him as bait to catch wild animals?

Oh, he is really a popular guy.

Use it to catch wild animals, and use it to catch poachers.

The three men didn't know what Dao Meihua and the others had done. They were still angry about the appearance of such a person among their companions. They also felt a little sorry for Chen Ying, who had encountered such a disturbing thing the first time she came out with them.

Chen Ying let out a long breath and adjusted his mood.

"It's okay. It has nothing to do with you. Don't feel sorry for the bad guys."

That being said, everyone still felt embarrassed.

Fortunately, the car to pick them up arrived soon.

There were also team members picked up from the outpost on the car.

Everyone's luggage and parcels were placed at the campsite and someone had to be sent to pick them up.

There was no conversation along the way. After arriving at the county town, they were placed in the county guesthouse and told not to ask any questions, to have a good rest and wait for the captain to come back.

Chen Ying lives in a room by herself, and her room is not on the same floor as other people's rooms.

Everyone had questions in their minds, but they were told not to ask, and they all went back to their rooms to rest. As for whether they could communicate privately, they would decide when the time came.

Chen Ying took a shower as soon as she entered the room and sent her clothes to the laundry room, which would probably be delivered back later.

I guess they know their needs, so each room is equipped with a complete set of disposable sanitary products and bathrobes.

Chen Ying was not in a hurry to ask. After having a good sleep, she turned on her phone and the number of messages in the background was no longer displayed.

After browsing for a while, he replied to the teacher and Director Bai, and finally called Yin Li directly.

"What's going on? How come you know all about it?"

"This is a big deal, involving several departments and related units. We have already notified them to study the Wildlife Protection Law for three consecutive days. Anyway, there will be a small earthquake."

Yin Li hummed twice and changed the subject, "After you leave Yunnan Province, do you want to come over to my place? We haven't seen each other for a long time. I'll treat you to big bowls of wine and big chunks of meat."

"Come on, just tell me, who wants to deal with me again?"

"Not really. You still have to have some faith in our leader. But I heard that the bastard escaped, and I'm afraid he'll do something desperate. You have to stay with me for at least two or three months, which is enough time for him to be caught."

Wow, that guy is quite well-informed.

He just broke out here, and he was already on the run over there.

After chatting aimlessly with Yin Li for a while, someone knocked on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw the team leader, Dao Meihua, and two people he didn't recognize. Judging from their attire, they must be cadres.

After hurriedly hanging up the phone with Yin Li, Chen Ying let them into the house.

"I'm sorry, I don't have a change of clothes. I'm sorry."

Dao Meihua didn't say anything, and the team leader directly stated the purpose of their visit.

Sure enough, this is a black industrial chain.

Director Song was not unaware of the matter, he just did not directly participate. The one involved was his son-in-law, and his daughter also helped a little.

"Of course, some department will investigate what should be done. I don't think this matter will be resolved anytime soon. The son-in-law of the director of your superior unit is on the run. For your safety, we suggest that you stay here for the time being and be protected."

Chen Ying looked up at them and said nothing.

It is protection and surveillance.

It didn't matter to him, after all, he had nothing to fear from his own shadow. But he was very upset about being used, and this group of people still hadn't given him an explanation.

"It was me who suggested using you."

Dao Meihua took a deep breath and looked up at Chen Ying.

"sorry."

Chen Ying pulled the corner of his mouth and said nothing.

The atmosphere in the room fell into an awkward silence. The team leader looked at the two of them, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.

"Okay, I get it. It's nothing. If you were in your position, it would be understandable for you to do this."

Chen Ying didn't say whether she forgave him or not.

"If I can't leave for the time being, what are you going to do with me?"

He looked at the two people who had been silent, as if he was certain that these two were the ones who made the decision.

Sure enough, one of them laughed.

"We know that Comrade Chen Ying is resentful. This matter..."

"Leader, don't say those words." Chen Ying interrupted him rudely, "Just tell me what you want me to do next. I will fully cooperate. I only have one request, try to be quick, there are still a bunch of animals waiting for me on the mountain."

"Next, Dr. Chen will be arranged to go to the Provincial Animal Research Institute for exchange and study for a period of time, probably about one to three months." Another person took over the topic and directly stated the arrangements.

"Doctor Chen has done extensive research on cats. One of the two clouded leopards we rescued happened to be pregnant, and the Institute of Animal Research is already arranging for its release into the wild. Doctor Chen's task is to follow up with the veterinarians at the Institute of Animal Research to observe the pregnant clouded leopard's life and birth, and to provide assistance to the clouded leopard when necessary."

Okay, it’s just that he was assigned to raise cats, and he is familiar with this job.

"There is one more thing we would like to seek Dr. Chen's opinion on."
