Wilderness Romance!

The next morning, as soon as Lu Pingchuan got up, Lin Jianguo drove to Hongqi Village.

"Hirakawa, there's been progress on the police dog issue."

"We happen to have two police dogs retiring. Bring your ID cards, and I'll take you to complete the formalities."

"Really, Brother Lin?"

Lu Pingchuan was extremely excited. With the police dogs, he no longer had to worry about his family getting into trouble when he wasn't home.

Even if Luo Sanpao brings people to cause trouble, his family will have enough time to notify him.

"Brother Lin, please wait a moment while I go get my ID card."

Lu Pingchuan quickly ran back to his room, grabbed his ID card, and followed Lin Jianguo to the police dog base of the Public Security Bureau.

Lu Pingchuan got into the car, feeling somewhat excited the whole way.

Adopting a police dog is something most people wouldn't even dream of, so Lin Jianguo's ability to help him make it happen clearly shows he put in a lot of effort.

"Brother Lin, you've really helped me a lot, but I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"It's no trouble at all." Lin Jianguo waved his hand. "I only made a few phone calls. Even if you don't adopt, someone else will."

"Besides, you saved my life, this is what I should do."

After driving for more than forty minutes, we arrived at the police dog base on the outskirts of the city.

Once the iron gate opened, it was very quiet inside. Rows of kennels stood neatly in rows, and several large dogs were lying inside sunbathing. When they saw someone coming, they lazily raised their eyelids.

They were greeted by a trainer surnamed Zhang, who was in his forties, with dark skin and calloused hands.

He led Lu Pingchuan and Lin Jianguo inside, explaining the situation of the police dogs as they walked.

"Two retired police dogs, one named Black Wind, a seven-and-a-half-year-old German Shepherd, with a background in drug detection, has a good sense of smell and a stable temperament."

"The other one is called Tiger, a six-year-old Malinois. He's a former patrol dog, quick-witted, and an excellent guard dog."

"However, Mr. Lu, whether you can successfully adopt depends on your luck."

Lu Pingchuan nodded slightly, completely baffled by the other party's meaning. What did adopting a police dog have to do with luck?

The group arrived at the backyard and saw two large dogs lying on the lawn, lazily basking in the sun.

"Black Wind, Tiger," Zhang called out, and the two police dogs immediately stood up and ran over at top speed.

Meanwhile, Zhang, the dog trainer, picked up two dog training treats from the side and prepared to feed them.

Seeing this, Lu Pingchuan immediately moved closer to the other person and said with a smile, "Instructor Zhang, how about I feed them?"

Training Instructor Zhang simply smiled and casually handed the dog training treats to Lu Pingchuan.

When the two police dogs ran up to him, Lu Pingchuan threw the dog training treats in his hand without hesitation.

To his surprise, the two police dogs didn't even glance at the dog training treats Lu Pingchuan threw out, seemingly completely uninterested, and simply circled around Instructor Zhang, wagging their tails and sticking out their tongues.

"This..." Lu Pingchuan was stunned and looked at Instructor Zhang with a puzzled expression.

Without saying a word, Zhang, the dog trainer, stepped forward, picked up the dog training treats that Lu Pingchuan had thrown out, and threw them out again.

The two police dogs leaped up and each caught a training treat, which they then devoured with gusto.

Lu Pingchuan scratched his head, even more confused. Could it be that he threw it wrong?

Seeing this, Instructor Zhang patted Lu Pingchuan on the shoulder and laughed, "Mr. Lu, our police dogs are all rigorously trained. They simply won't eat food from strangers or food of unknown origin."

Lu Pingchuan's eyes suddenly lit up; there was no disappointment, only excitement.

He had previously worried that the police dogs in the yard might be poisoned by malicious people, especially Li Erniu, who was capable of all sorts of insidious things.

In retrospect, my worries were completely unnecessary.

After Black Wind and Beard finished their training treats, Trainer Zhang immediately stepped forward, squatted down, and put his arm around one police dog in each hand.

"Black Wind, Tiger," Instructor Zhang looked at Lu Pingchuan, "This is Mr. Lu. He wants to adopt you. Are you willing?"

Black Wind and Tiger seemed to understand Instructor Zhang's words. They looked at Lu Pingchuan without wagging their tails or sticking out their tongues. Their gazes were deep and calm, carrying the composure of veterans.

After staring at him for half a minute, Black Wind suddenly strode towards Lu Pingchuan. It first sniffed with its sensitive nose, and then lay down at Lu Pingchuan's feet, its tail wagging.

Next, Tiger also went over, nuzzled Lu Pingchuan's trouser leg with its head, then stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail.

"Hahahaha..." Instructor Zhang laughed loudly: "Congratulations, Mr. Lu, Black Wind and Tiger have acknowledged you."

"Really?"

Lu Pingchuan was extremely excited. Only now did he realize what Zhang Xundao meant by "it depends on your luck." It turned out that to adopt a police dog, one had to first gain the police dog's approval.

Trainer Zhang walked over to Lu Pingchuan and handed him two more dog training treats: "Mr. Lu, try again."

"Okay." Lu Pingchuan nodded, took the dog training treats, and threw them out again.

This time, Black Wind and Tiger leaped high into the air at the same time and caught the dog training treats that Lu Pingchuan threw out in one bite.

"Black Wind, Tiger, go say goodbye to your companions. I'll take Mr. Lu to complete the formalities."

As soon as Instructor Zhang finished speaking, Black Wind and Tiger ran wildly towards the other kennels.

"Let's go, Mr. Lu."

Lu Pingchuan and Lin Jianguo followed Instructor Zhang to the office.

"Mr. Lu, did you bring your ID card?"

Lu Pingchuan nodded slightly and immediately handed his ID card to Instructor Zhang.

After fiddling with the computer for a moment, Instructor Zhang frowned and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, you are not eligible to adopt."

Upon hearing this, both Lu Pingchuan and Lin Jianguo were stunned.

"Instructor Zhang, why am I not eligible to adopt?"

"Yes, Instructor Zhang, what exactly happened?" Lin Jianguo pressed.

"I'm sorry." Instructor Zhang returned the ID card to Lu Pingchuan: "Mr. Lu, Director Lin, according to regulations, inmates are not allowed to adopt police dogs."

"Serving time in prison?" Lin Jianguo's eyes widened in disbelief. "Ping...Pingchuan, you committed a crime before?"

Lu Pingchuan was taking the blame for someone else, but obviously, saying all this is pointless.

He nodded: "Brother Lin, I served several years in prison for causing a traffic accident."

Upon hearing the words "traffic accident," Lin Jianguo visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Never mind." Lu Pingchuan sighed. "Brother Lin, Instructor Zhang, thank you for your trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Pingchuan prepared to leave.

But Lin Jianguo didn't give up: "Instructor Zhang, isn't there any other way?"

Instructor Zhang pondered for a moment, his gaze shifting back and forth between Lin Jianguo and Lu Pingchuan: "There is a solution, but given Mr. Lu's current situation, unless someone can vouch for him..."

"That's it?" Lin Jianguo patted his chest. "Instructor Zhang, can I vouch for Pingchuan? If so, I'll vouch for him."

Instructor Zhang looked at Lin Jianguo with a strange expression, his face unusually serious: "Director Lin, are you sure you want to vouch for Mr. Lu?"

"If Mr. Lu abuses the police dogs or uses them to maliciously attack others, he will be held legally responsible."

Lin Jianguo didn't speak, but turned to look at Lu Pingchuan, as if waiting for a promise from him.

Lu Pingchuan stared intently at Lin Jianguo, his expression unusually serious: "Brother Lin, I promise I won't mistreat Heifeng and Huzi, and I promise I won't use them to hurt anyone. Do you trust me?"

Lin Jianguo hadn't spent much time with Lu Pingchuan, but his intuition told him that Lu Pingchuan was definitely not a bad person.

Moreover, Lu Pingchuan was his savior, and he shouldn't have stood idly by, both morally and logically.

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Jianguo nodded emphatically: "Pingchuan, I believe you."

"Instructor Zhang, I'm willing to vouch for Pingchuan. Let's get the paperwork done."
