Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Fan Zhengcheng frowned, quickly stepped forward, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Village Chief Liu, do you really know where the tiger is? Did it appear around the village again last night?"

He had assumed Wang Yuyu would hide deep in the mountains, but he never expected that she might still be lingering nearby.

Liu Huanjun shook his head, took a sip of hot tea from his thermos, pointed towards the iconic Eagle's Beak Rock outside the village, and calmly said, "It wasn't last night, it was today!"

"I went out on patrol just as dawn broke this morning, and I saw that tiger lying on top of Eagle's Beak Rock in the distance. I guess it wanted to sunbathe and warm up. I've been watching it at the village entrance for almost an hour, and it hasn't moved an inch!"

Following the direction he pointed, everyone saw a blurry protrusion on the top of Eagle Beak Rock in the morning light. It was huge and its color was completely different from the grayish-brown of the rock. You could vaguely see yellow and black stripes, which was the outline of a tiger.

Fan Zhengcheng's eyes narrowed, and he turned to Chen Chen beside him, instructing, "Chen, fly the drone over there and check it out. Make sure to maintain a safe distance!"

"Yes, Captain Fan!" Chen Chen immediately responded, his fingers moving rapidly across the controller.

With a soft buzzing sound, a small drone slowly took off, its propellers creating a gentle breeze as it flew steadily toward Eagle Beak Rock.

At this moment, on the top of Eagle's Beak Rock, Wang Yuyu was lazily lying on the rock, basking in the sun.

He had a hearty meal last night and slept soundly in the cave. Now, the warm sunlight was shining on him, making him feel comfortable all over. He was in a pleasant state of half-awake and half-asleep, his eyelids almost too heavy to keep open.

But the drone's buzzing grew closer and closer, like an annoying fly buzzing around your ear, instantly shattering the tranquility.

Wang Yuyu suddenly opened her eyes, her amber pupils instantly igniting with rage.

Who is this blind fool who dares to disturb my sunbathing?

They're practically asking for it!

He looked up following the sound, and when he saw the drone hovering in the air, his anger subsided slightly, replaced by a look of astonishment.

Drones?

In a moment, he realized that people were coming down the mountain.

Wang Yuyu suddenly stood up, his massive body instantly exuding an aura of intimidation as he stood on the rock.

His gaze locked precisely on the group of police cars at the entrance of the village at the foot of the mountain, and then he roared deafeningly in the direction of Fan Zhengcheng and the others: "Roar!"

Fan Zhengcheng and the others at the village entrance were watching the live footage transmitted back by the drone, and could clearly see Wang Yuyu standing up and roaring.

Before they could react, the powerful tiger roar came on the wind, making their eardrums ache.

Immediately afterwards, a fist-sized rock suddenly flew down from the top of Eagle's Beak Rock with a loud "bang," landing in the snow not far from the police car, creating a deep snow crater, and sending snow spray flying more than a meter high.

Through the drone footage, Fan Zhengcheng clearly saw Wang Yuyu bending down to pick up another, larger stone, seemingly preparing to throw it down again.

His face paled with fright, and he hurriedly shouted at Chen Chen, "Quick! Take the drone back! Take it back right now!"

Chen Chen was also startled by this sudden scene. His fingers frantically operated the controller, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The drone quickly changed direction and flew rapidly towards the village entrance, afraid that if it was even a second too slow, it would be hit by a stone.

Watching the drone flee in panic, Wang Yuyu stopped what he was doing and gave a disdainful shout down the mountain, as if warning them, "Don't bother me again."

Then, he slowly lay back down on the rock, found the warmest position in the sun, closed his eyes again, and continued to enjoy his sunbathing.

The villagers at the village entrance looked at this scene with mixed feelings, but mostly with a headache.

This tiger is incredibly clever; it even uses stones to scare away drones, completely overturning our understanding of wild animals.

Chen Chen packed up the drone and quickly walked to Fan Zhengcheng's side, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Captain Fan, this tiger is too cunning. It detected the drone as soon as it got close and even attacked. What should we do next? We can't just charge in, can we?"

Fan Zhengcheng sighed softly, his gaze returning to the languid figure on Eagle Beak Rock. He waved his hand and said, "Don't make any rash moves. Have the drone keep an eye on it from a distance. Don't disturb it again."

"You all stay here and keep watch. I'll go and get someone. Maybe only she can persuade this 'ancestor'."

"Yes, Captain Fan!" Chen Chen nodded and took the drone back into the air, but this time he dared not get close. He hovered in the distance, monitoring Wang Yuyu's movements from afar.

Wang Yuyu, perched on Eagle Beak Rock, naturally noticed that the drone was still watching her from a distance.

But he was enjoying the sun right now and didn't bother arguing with this little thing!

Anyway, it's just a glance from afar, it won't hurt us, so let them be.

He yawned widely, rested his head on his paws, and quickly drifted back into a half-asleep state.

…………

Fan Zhengcheng quickly got into the police car, closed the door behind him, took out his phone from his pocket, and skillfully dialed Wang Weiguo's number.

Outside the car window, Wang Yuyu was still lying lazily on Eagle Beak Rock, the sunlight shining on his yellow and black fur, making him look quite content, completely unaware that he had become a "troublemaker".

In the director's office of the Linhai City Central Zoo, Wang Weiguo was tidying up the account books when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone and saw the words "Fan Zhengcheng" flashing on the screen, which startled him.

How long has it been? Is there already news?

He quickly answered the phone, his voice tinged with excitement: "Captain Fan, that's impressive! You've found a stable job so quickly?"

"Yes, we've found it." Fan Zhengcheng glanced at the figure on Eagle Beak Rock, paused, and said with a hint of helplessness, "However, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor. I really have no other choice."

"You need my help?" Wang Weiguo was taken aback at first, but quickly recovered and asked with a smile, "Captain Fan, I guess your secure job hasn't gone far and is still around the village?"

"Uncle Wang, how did you know?"

Fan Zhengcheng's tone was full of shock. He hadn't even explained in detail yet, but the old director had already figured out the situation.

"Hahaha!" Wang Weiguo's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone. "Captain Fan, have you forgotten what I do? I've dealt with tigers for most of my life, I know their habits pretty well!"

He cleared his throat, his tone becoming more professional: "Tigers, being such ferocious beasts, will never easily drag their prey far away if they can't finish eating it all."

"They will find a secluded spot near their prey and hide there, then wait nearby and eat slowly, bit by bit. They basically won't leave the area until they've finished eating."

"You found it in one night, which means it definitely didn't go deep into the mountains, and is most likely still wandering around the village."
