Chapter 198: Crocodile Princess Feng Feng
Wei Fangfei took off her sunglasses and said with a half-smile, “So you care? Has a *tie shu kai hua* (iron tree blooming)?”
“Bureau Chief Lou’s idea,” Si Heng replied expressionlessly, his ear tips secretly burning.
Wei Fangfei observed him, her smile deepening, “I understand. I’ll definitely bring them back safe and sound for you.”
Xiao Xu got out of the car and walked over, greeting her through the car window, “Hello.”
Si Heng introduced, “This is Xiao Xu, responsible for protecting Jiang Yuan. Ms. Wei, you’re the director of Yun Jing Wildlife Park.”
“Hello, Xiao Xu!” Wei Fangfei opened her car door and got out, shaking Xiao Xu’s hand, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Xiao Xu felt her hand was very soft and nodded slightly, “It’s no trouble, this is my job.”
The villa’s aluminum carved automatic main door was opening.
A slender figure slowly walked over. The girl had long, curly hair casually falling on her shoulders, wearing a cool black leather jacket and jeans, carrying a small black backpack, with two dogs and two cats following behind her.
Seeing that they had arrived, Jiang Yuan quickened her pace to walk over, and the kittens and puppies also quickened their steps.
“Have you been here long?”
“Just arrived,” Wei Fangfei gazed at her with a smile.
“That’s good,” Jiang Yuan looked at Si Heng again, raising an eyebrow, “Why are you here?”
Si Heng calmly explained, “I’m here to escort Xiao Xu.”
Wei Fangfei: “You should have said so earlier. We could have just driven to the police station to pick them up.”
Si Heng glanced at her, “Weren’t you in a hurry?”
“That’s true,” Wei Fangfei smiled, “There will be plenty of opportunities to chat later. Let’s set off now.”
She opened the rear door and gestured for Jiang Yuan, “Jiang Yuan, please get in.”
“Thank you,” Jiang Yuan said, and looked back at her furry children who were watching her expectantly, finding it funny, “Guard the house well, I’ll be back soon.”
After saying that, she bent down and got into the car, waving to Si Heng, “I’m off.”
Wei Fangfei closed the car door and patted Si Heng’s sturdy arm, chiding him, “Stop looking, come and open the car door for me.”
Si Heng’s deep eyes flickered with helplessness as he walked around the back of the car to open the other side door for her, “Ms. Wei, please have a seat.”
Xiao Xu also got into the passenger seat.
“Hurry back, I’m closing the door,” Jiang Yuan watched the four furry children walk back before operating her mobile phone to close the villa’s main door.
Linjin City and Yun Jing City are adjacent, but it takes about an hour and a half to drive from East Bank Villa to the Linjin City Wildlife Park.
It was already 4:10 PM upon arrival at Linjin City Wildlife Park.
The person in charge, Director Qu, is also a woman. She is fifty-two years old, has permed short curly hair, wears silver-rimmed glasses, and as soon as she saw Jiang Yuan, she excitedly grasped her hand, “Consultant Jiang, thank you for coming…”
“Old Qu, we can talk thanks later,” Wei Fangfei interrupted her, frowning, “Let’s handle serious business first.”
“That’s right, that’s right!” Director Qu let go of Jiang Yuan and led them towards the Crocodile House, saying as they walked, “The fire department and police are all dispatched now. Our biggest concern is that the crocodiles might accidentally injure citizens.”
“How could such a major mistake happen?” Wei Fangfei asked, adopting a precautionary mindset.
Director Qu sighed, “This morning, the employee responsible for the Crocodile House suddenly had an upset stomach and rushed to the toilet, not closing the door tightly.”
“This…” Wei Fangfei really didn’t know how to comment.
Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu listened quietly.
When they arrived at the Crocodile House, they saw five crocodiles lazily submerged in the pool.
Wei Fangfei said softly, “If it’s because the employee didn’t close the door, then we probably won’t get any useful information from the crocodiles left here.”
“Yes,” Jiang Yuan nodded.
Director Qu’s face was pale, and she was so anxious her mind was a mess, “What should we do now?”
Jiang Yuan: “Since we’re here, I’ll ask a few questions first.”
The keeper used food to lure the crocodiles to the guardrail.
“Mr. Crocodile, hello,” Jiang Yuan tried to communicate with the crocodile, “Can I ask you a few questions?”
The crocodile, which was eating, opened its eyes, gave her a sideways glance, and grumbled, “Hate humans, I am NOT ‘Mister’!”
Jiang Yuan blinked and spoke again, “Beautiful Miss Crocodile, what’s your name?”
After finishing the fish, the crocodile replied, “I’m Feng Feng.”
Combining her previous experience with animals, Jiang Yuan guessed this was a vain crocodile and changed her address, “Princess Feng Feng, can we chat?”
“How do you know I’m a princess?” Crocodile Feng Feng suddenly became excited.
Jiang Yuan: “…”
She pressed her lips together, trying to make her tone sound as convincing as possible, “Because you look noble and elegant, with an extraordinary aura.”
These words clearly pleased Crocodile Feng Feng.
It squinted its eyes haughtily, “You are absolutely right.”
Jiang Yuan tentatively asked, “Then can I ask you a few questions?”
Crocodile Feng Feng: “What questions?”
Jiang Yuan: “Many of your companions are gone, did you notice?”
“I know,” Crocodile Feng Feng looked around and nodded.
“Then do you know why they are gone?”
“I know.”
“Can you tell me?”
Crocodile Feng Feng closed its mouth and stopped talking.
Jiang Yuan pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then spoke again, “Princess Feng Feng, please tell me, okay? If you tell me, I can give you a princess crown.”
“Princess crown?” Crocodile Feng Feng’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
“Really,” Jiang Yuan continued to coax it, “If you wear the crown, everyone will know you’re the Crocodile Princess.”
Crocodile Feng Feng was very tempted, its eyeballs rolling as if in thought.
Jiang Yuan also searched for pictures of crowns to show it, “Princess Feng Feng, do you like this golden crown or the pink one?”
Crocodile Feng Feng pressed tightly against the guardrail, staring intently at the phone screen, and said excitedly, “I like them both!”
“Okay!” Jiang Yuan smiled, “Then I’ll give you both.”
“This is great!” Crocodile Feng Feng was very surprised.
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, “I’m being so good to you, can you tell me why your crocodile companions are gone?”
“Uh…” Crocodile Feng Feng began to hesitate again.
Jiang Yuan tapped a few more times on her phone, showing it the screen again, “And a beautiful princess veil.”
“I like this too!” Crocodile Feng Feng said with delight, “Give it to me!”
This time, Jiang Yuan didn’t agree immediately, “First answer my previous question.”
“Ay!” Crocodile Feng Feng suddenly sighed, its eyelids drooping, “Those crocodiles…”
Jiang Yuan listened, her brow furrowing deeper and deeper.
Director Qu was so nervous her palms were covered in cold sweat.
After Crocodile Feng Feng finished speaking, it turned around and faced Jiang Yuan with its tail, its voice muffled, “That’s how it is. I’m too disappointed in them.”
Jiang Yuan’s tightly furrowed brow slowly relaxed. Although she knew she shouldn’t laugh in this situation, she couldn’t help but lower her head and laugh silently.
Xiao Xu looked at her, filled with curiosity.
Wei Fangfei couldn’t help but ask, “Jiang Yuan, what did Princess Feng Feng say?”
