I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 232 Uninvited Guest

Upon hearing this, Chen Su turned his head and looked at Kong Cheng with a chilling gaze: "No need."

He carefully put away the documents. "I will be in charge of this case and will be coordinating with Station Chief Xu."

Chen Su paused for a moment, then added, "After all, it involves the illegal trade of rare species, so we need to be especially careful about the procedures."

After saying that, he ignored Kong Cheng's questioning gaze and got into the police car.

Seeing that Chen Su had already started the car engine and was about to abandon him, Kong Cheng quickly went to open the car door.

When did Captain Chen become so concerned about wildlife cases? Last time when they seized a pangolin smuggling case, he clearly said, "Just follow the procedures."

"Master, wait for me! Don't leave me behind!"

Xu Ying watched the convoy drive away, smiled, and released the batch of lizards that the poachers had just captured from the cage.

After thanking Xu Ying, the captured lizards scurried back to their underground sand burrows.

Xu Ying stretched, mounted her horse, and asked the Przewalski's horse to take her back to her sand motorcycle.

Inside the airline crate covered by a sunshade on the dune buggy, the mother lizard with the severed tail anxiously awaited Xu Ying's return. Upon seeing him, she immediately asked, "How is Station Chief Xu? Have they found my baby?"
The bearded dragons, having lost their companion, also came over, all looking up at Xu Ying with expectant eyes.

Xu Ying gently comforted them: "We've just caught the bad guys who kidnapped you. Professional human police are tracking down your children and friends, which may take some time."

"Sorry, I didn't stop these guys in time."

The understanding lizards shook their heads: [Thank you, Station Master Xu, you've already done so much for us~]

Xu Ying asked them for their opinions: "Before the other baby lizards are brought back, would you like to come back to the rescue station with me or go home first?"

The desert night lizard mother and her bearded dragon, one large and five small, stared at each other in bewilderment.

[Station Chief Xu, we want to stay at the shelter.]
[Yes, yes, it's so interesting to watch you treat other animals every day! We also want to be able to heal our animal friends like you!]

When I grow up, I want to be a veterinarian like the stationmaster.
[Station Manager Xu, you helped us find partners, and we want to help you too. We are very sensitive to changes in the environment; we can feel changes in humidity and air quality.]

[Yes, our touch and calls can also soothe other animals.]
The lizards have become curious about Xu Ying's daily work. In the past few days, they have witnessed the charm of Station Chief Xu and have been inspired by him to want to become a little desert hero.

Xu Ying listened to the lizards chirping and looked at these tiny creatures, no bigger than two fingers. "Alright, alright, don't worry, you're still so small. I'll try to get you involved in the work at the rescue station."

The lizards happily returned to their cages, finding their motivation for life once again.

Xu Ying drove his sand motorcycle towards the rescue station.

From afar, you can see the trucks of the villagers from Dongqing Village transporting building materials to the open space outside the station, with corrugated steel plates and steel bars piled up like small mountains.

Construction of the makeshift staff dormitory has begun and it will be ready for use in less than a month.

Xu Ying surveyed the empire he had conquered with satisfaction, but as he turned his head, his smile froze on his face.

A gray SUV was parked next to the truck that the fellow villager was delivering goods. Kuang Ming, deputy director of the desertification control area management office, blocked her way with two men in suits.

Xu Ying narrowed her eyes.

Last time at the rescue station headquarters, after being criticized by Professor Fu, Deputy Director Kuang quieted down considerably.

I never imagined that old habits die hard; he's back to his old ways again. "Little Xu."

Kuang Ming was followed by two middle-aged men in suits who were overweight.

Kuang Ming straightened his coat and said with a forced smile, "These two are the owners of the construction team that we have been cooperating with in our governance area for a long time. Let them handle the employee dormitory project."

The two men behind him immediately handed him their business cards, their faces full of fawning smiles.

"I've heard so much about Station Master Xu!"

"Leave this employee dormitory project to us, and we guarantee it will be completed quickly and well, and Station Master Xu will also return with a full harvest."

The man focused on the phrase "returning with a full load," which was full of implications.

Xu Ying forced a smile and chuckled softly. She was getting better; people were even coming up to her to curry favor and offer bribes.

She glanced at the business card and said coldly, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, the dormitory construction has already been contracted with the Dongqing Village construction team and the Qiao Group."

Kuang Ming's smile froze on his face: "The people of Dongqing Village are all roughnecks who spend their days running errands; they can't do any real work! They're just a bunch of vagrants and deserters!"

The two big bosses who were with him immediately took a large bag from the car. "Station Master Xu, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

The large bag was filled with designer bags, cosmetics, skincare products...

Xu Ying didn't even glance at it. Her face was cold and unyielding: "Director Yi has already reviewed the contract. Besides, this is a matter for the 032 Desert Rescue Station. I have the final say on who to use."

Kuang Ming's face darkened as he looked at Xu Ying: "Don't think you're so arrogant just because you're popular now. Just because your fans call you 'Master Xu,' you think you're on top of the world? Do you really think you're someone special?"

"Ultimately, I'm your boss, so you have to be mindful of my feelings if you work under me!"

Just as Kuang Ming was about to lash out, he suddenly noticed two brand-new black minivans parked at the entrance of the rescue station.

He narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically, "Oh, Station Chief Xu's got some skills, isn't he? Contacting investors privately on his own? I wonder how much kickback he took?"

Xu Ying looked back at the two minivans, completely bewildered. She had no idea whose vehicles they were.

Before she could respond, the doors of the van suddenly opened at the same time.

Kuang Ming's smug expression froze instantly—the people who got out of the car were not the wealthy investors he had imagined.

The leader's demeanor reminded him of a member of the inspection team from the capital to the desertification control area. Just standing there, he exuded a different kind of air, a refined and sophisticated presence.

The person who got out of the car was unexpectedly young.

The man at the head of the group walked slowly, his figure as straight as a pine tree, wearing a neatly tailored military green work uniform.

He wore gold-rimmed glasses, his fox-like eyes behind the lenses were calm and sharp, and his hair was neatly combed back, revealing his well-defined forehead.

Xu Ying was stunned when she saw the man get out of the car. He was very young and reminded her of Uncle Qin's adjutant at the military base—refined yet imposing.

The man's collar was buttoned up to the top, and a discreet silver cufflink gleamed coldly at his cuff, giving him an air of ascetic restraint and introversion.
