There's a chat group for pets in my neighborhood.

Gu Nanxi straightened up slightly: "Officer Li, if it's convenient, I'd like to invite him over for a chat."

"Is there something wrong?" Old Li didn't dare to be negligent. The director was taking this case very seriously because of Gu Nanxi.

"I promised that I would give a reward of 100,000 yuan to anyone who could find Charlie. I think it's time for me to keep my promise." Gu Nanxi's voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.

Old Li smacked his lips, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Lu Fang is such a lucky guy."

One hundred thousand yuan is not a small amount for him.

"Please have a seat, I'll go tell him." Old Li went out to call someone, leaving Gu Nanxi alone in the meeting room.

She received Lao Li's message early this morning and rushed over, canceling all her work arrangements for the day.

Because Charlie was the only thing her deceased grandmother left her.

It was also her only emotional refuge in Yanling City.

Ten thousand dollars is nothing compared to Charlie.

"You're lucky, kid." Old Li had just stepped out when he spotted Lu Fang in the crowd.

"Officer Li, is there anything else?" Lu Fang was busy adding people on WeChat at the moment. When he saw Lao Li walking over, he subconsciously thought that there was a statement that hadn't been taken yet.

"Charlie's master wants to see you."

"Charlie's owner?" Lu Fang certainly remembered the astronomical reward of 100,000 yuan and was also curious about Charlie's owner. "Where is he?"

"They're in the meeting room," Officer Li said, his voice tinged with envy. "They probably want to discuss the 100,000 yuan reward with you."

"You really gave it to me?" Lu Fang was startled.

"Who is Miss Gu? She became the head of ProVision Greater China at such a young age. Ten thousand yuan is really not much for her." Old Li took another sip of the goji berry water in his hand.

"Provision?" If it were another company, the Chinese side might not really know.

But it's Provence!

ProVision, short for ProVision Animal Health, is a multinational group headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, and is a world-leading biomedical research and development center.

No veterinarian can avoid this behemoth, which almost monopolizes more than 70% of the global market for critical care drugs for pets, such as the patented drug Vipcon for treating feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and monoclonal antibody targeted injections for severe arthritis in older dogs.

Its ProShield internal and external vegetative spray, developed by the company, is a standard product in high-end pet hospitals worldwide.

Did not expect ah.

If we could obtain the distribution rights for ProShield in Yanling City from them...

For a moment, Lu Fang was somewhat stunned, but then he came to his senses, shook his head, and shook the daydream out of his mind.

Are you kidding me? That's Provence!

An international brand that can attract countless people to buy its products simply because of its name.

Just the agency rights for ProShield alone would cost at least a million.

However, it's a good thing to become a familiar face.

"I'll be right there." Lu Fang straightened his clothes and was about to head to the meeting room when his phone suddenly rang loudly.

Could something have happened in the group chat?

He opened his phone; the pet chat group was quiet, everyone seemed to be slacking off.

Instead, Xu Yi's profile picture kept flashing.

"Brother Fang! Something terrible has happened!"

"Come back soon."

Lu Fang was startled, not knowing what had happened. He hesitated for a moment and then gave up the opportunity to meet Gu Nanxi.

"Officer Li, please tell Mr. Gu that I have some urgent business and may not be able to come over for the time being. We can arrange to meet privately another time."

After saying that, he hurriedly returned to Hello Pet Shop.

When I pushed open the door of the pet store, the atmosphere inside was so oppressive it was almost palpable.

Contrary to his expectations, Cui Ding came to cause trouble. Instead, two strange men stood imposingly in the center of the hall.

One was a middle-aged man in his fifties with thinning hair, but covered in greasy hair wax; the other was a young man in his early twenties with dyed yellow hair and a sleazy demeanor.

Qin Zhuyan stood behind the cashier with a deathly pale face. Her eyes, which were usually gentle and smiling, were now frighteningly red. Her slender fingers gripped the corner of the table tightly, and her knuckles looked white from the force.

Xu Yi, holding a broom, stood in front of Qin Zhuyan like a prickly kitten guarding its food, glaring angrily at the two men.

"I'm saying this one last time, this shop is something I've saved up little by little over ten years of working to open. What does it have to do with you?! Please leave, or I'll call the police." Qin Zhuyan's voice trembled uncontrollably, her tone resolute.

"Call the police? Go ahead and call the police! I'm still your father, no matter what. I'm just here to check on my daughter's shop. What can the police do to me?!" Qin Zhiqiang slammed his hand on the cash register, spitting as he raised his voice, "Qin Zhuyan, let me tell you, you're just a girl. You'll be marrying someone else sooner or later! Now that this shop is making money, it's only right that your brother helps you out, and you can finally take a break."

"Yeah, sis." The blond-haired youth chimed in nonchalantly, casually picking up a bag of expensive freeze-dried fruit from the shelf, tearing it open, stuffing a piece into his mouth, chewing it a couple of times, and then spitting it all out on the floor with a frown.

"You never even call home normally, and now that you're rich, you think you can ignore your family? I asked around before you came; your shop's been doing incredibly well lately. As your older sister, shouldn't you give your younger brother some pocket money?"

Lu Fang came in just in time to hear those words.

He realized that it was Qin Zhuyan's patriarchal father and vampire brother who had come. He didn't know where they had gotten the news, but seeing that Hello Pet Shop was thriving, they wanted to come and take it over.

"Put the stuff down." Lu Fang strode into the store, grabbed Qin Sheng's wrist that was holding the freeze-dried food, and with a little force, he made Qin Sheng howl in pain, spilling the freeze-dried food all over the floor.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you meddle in the affairs of the Qin family?" Qin Zhiqiang became furious when he saw his son being taken advantage of, and pointed at Lu Fang's nose and cursed.

"I'm a partner in this pet shop. I own a share of it. Why can't I have any say in this?" Lu Fang coldly glanced at the two men. Qin Zhiqiang and Qin Sheng were only a little over 1.6 meters tall, so they were at a disadvantage in terms of presence.

Not to mention that Lu Fang has been bathing large dogs for many years and is in good physical condition. Compared to him, Qin Sheng is just a skinny little chick.

He calmly stepped between Qin Zhuyan and Qin Zhiqiang, blocking Qin Zhiqiang's questioning.

"Well, so you've gotten too big for your britches! Turns out you've got a gigolo on your side!" Seeing Lu Fang's strong physique, Qin Zhiqiang knew he'd be at a disadvantage if he fought, so he started acting like a scoundrel: "I'm telling you right now, either pay me or give me the shop back, or this isn't over!"
