Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 60 What a coincidence

Zhou Mengran frowned: "Are there any master-level beast tamers passing by or stationed near Hailan City? If so, send someone over to provide support immediately."

"I have already contacted the Hundred Flowers Gym in Hundred Flowers City, as well as the League branch stationed in a nearby city. They will send people over as soon as possible," Zhou Xinhong said.

"It's not enough..." Zhou Mengran still felt uneasy.

It takes some time to travel from other cities.

Zhou Mengran thought for a moment, found a number in her phone's contacts, and immediately dialed it.

After waiting for about ten seconds, the call connected, and a pleasant female voice came through: "Mengran, what can I do for you?"

Zhou Mengran briefly explained the current situation, and then asked, "Senior, could you please ask in the master-level university group chat if any senior students have recently come to Hailan City, Nanfu Province, or are nearby?"

Senior student: "Okay, I'll go ask."

After the call ended, Zhou Mengran waited a few minutes, and a message from Jiang Xuejie popped up on WeChat:

[There really is one]

[It's quite a coincidence, he was originally going to Yunnan Province, but he got on the wrong bus and ended up in Nanfu Province. His location yesterday was Hailan City.]

[However, it seems he bought the wrong ticket again. Not wanting to waste money, he simply rode all the way to the end, and now he doesn't know which stop he's at.]

[I'll send you his WeChat ID; go ask him if he can make it over.]

Just as Zhou Mengran was filled with doubts and even questioning whether this person was reliable, a WeChat contact card popped up in the chat interface.

With the mindset that more people would mean more help, Zhou Mengran added them as WeChat friends.

While waiting for the other person to accept the friend request, Zhou Mengran asked her senior, "[Senior, who is this person you recommended? I don't think I've ever heard of such a 'unique' person among the top universities...]"

Senior student: [Who else could it be? Ye Wuyan, the star student of our Shanghai University!]

Zhou Mengran's pupils dilated in shock: It was him?!

There was a time when this saying circulated among universities in Shanghai—

In Shanghai University, if you grab any random person and ask them who the university's president is, they might not know. But if you ask who Ye Wuyan is, even a dog on the street will bark at you.

"Okay, okay... Thank you, senior!"

Zhou Mengran had never met Ye Wuyan because by the time she was admitted to Shanghai University, Ye Wuyan had already graduated and his whereabouts remained unknown.

I've heard some things about him, more or less.

Some admire him as a top-notch genius beast tamer, some curse him as a shameless and despicable villain, and some wish he would die sooner rather than later... but no one would question his abilities.

Zhou Mengran breathed a sigh of relief: "If Ye Wuyan can come... then there won't be any problems."

At that moment, Zhou Mengran saw that her friend request had been accepted, and immediately opened the chat interface...

[Senior Ye, hello, where are you right now?]

[I have a student who is currently on the G211 bullet train in Hailan and has encountered some trouble. Could you please come over if you have time?]

Just as Zhou Mengran was about to explain the whole story, a message suddenly came from the other end.

[…What a coincidence, I happen to be right here.]

Zhou Mengran: ?

……

at this time.

On a high-speed train.

Gu Ling first sent the travel itinerary to Zhou Meng, then picked up the bewildered Xian Jiu and typed a message on her phone for Xian Jiu to see:

There are bad guys on the bus.

[There's a reward for catching the bad guys; you can buy a can of bubble tea.]

[The villains are very strong; we can't handle them. We need to wait for reinforcements and avoid arousing their suspicion.]

After seeing the words "Xiangbo Bobo Canned Food", Xianjiu couldn't take her eyes off it.

After Gu Ling finished typing, she deleted all the words.

Fortunately, Xian Jiu had already learned some simple characters while playing games, so Gu Ling had no problem communicating with Xian Jiu by typing.

"Xian Jiu, do you understand?" Gu Ling patted Xian Jiu's head.

Xian Jiu snapped out of her daze and nodded repeatedly.

"Meow~"

Beastmaster, where is the villain?

Seeing Xian Jiu's excited expression, Gu Ling smiled helplessly: "You don't need to worry. I just wanted you to know so you could be mentally prepared."

Gu Ling knew very well that she was no match for the two pet poachers.

The most important thing now is to take a picture of the two of them without attracting their attention.

"Keep an eye on your luggage."

After giving Xianjiu a few instructions, Gu Ling turned on the camera on her phone and got up from her seat again.

As Gu Ling walked down the corridor, she held her phone in her right hand, her arm hanging naturally at her sides. The phone screen was hidden by her pants, while the rear camera was pointed towards the corridor ahead.

After walking through several carriages, Gu Ling finally spotted the two men who appeared to be pet poachers again. She carefully adjusted the angle of her phone, and after confirming that both men were in the shot, she pressed the power button next to her phone.

The phone screen went black in a second. Gu Ling casually stuffed the phone into her pocket and turned to leave as if nothing had happened.

When Gu Ling returned to her carriage, she saw Xian Jiu pawing at her seat, peering around curiously. When she saw Gu Ling, she happily wagged her tail and meowed.

Gu Ling walked over in a few steps, carrying Xian Jiu back to her seat as she did so.

Then Gu Ling started checking the recorded video, took screenshots of the two men in the video, and immediately sent them to Zhou Mengran.

After waiting a few minutes, Zhou Mengran sent a WeChat message, which Gu Ling quickly opened to view:

[Gu Ling, I've handed the photos over to the head of the reserve. It's been confirmed that those two are the pet poachers who stole the reserve's pet eggs; both are top-tier professional beast tamers.]

When Gu Ling saw the words "Gold Medal Professional Beast Tamer", her heart skipped a beat.

Zhou Mengran was still typing when another message popped up:

[Good news! There's a senior student named Ye, a graduate of Shanghai University, on this train. With his skills, he's more than capable of dealing with those two pet poachers.]

[This is his seat number, C313. Go find him first, then just follow his instructions.]

[be safe]

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Ling's eyes when she saw that there was a senior from Shanghai University in the car.

Is she really that lucky?

Gu Ling glanced at the seat number sent by Teacher Zhou again, and was about to get up to find someone when she suddenly noticed that the man opposite her, who had been sleeping all along, had gotten up at some point.

At this moment, the man was looking down at his phone, seemingly chatting with someone via text.

Gu Ling was about to leave, but her gaze still unconsciously glanced at the seat number opposite her.

Upon seeing this, Gu Ling froze on the spot.

The seat number opposite was clearly marked—

C313

Could it be such a coincidence?

The thought had just popped into Gu Ling's mind when, a second later, the man seemed to be preparing to leave as well, and turned to meet Gu Ling's gaze.

For a moment, the two stared at each other, wide-eyed...

Uh... no, that's not right.

The man was wearing sunglasses and a mask, so Gu Ling couldn't see whether his eyes were big or small.

Gu Ling tentatively asked, "Senior Ye?"

"The classmate that Zhou Mengran mentioned, is that you, Gu Ling?" The man glanced at Gu Ling, then looked down at the photo of the girl that Zhou Mengran had sent on his phone.

It's not so much similar as identical.

"Yes." Upon hearing the other party mention Zhou Mengran's name, Gu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
