Chapter 80: Don’t Blame Monkey For Being Ruthless
He Yifei was a little excited, and his voice was not low. Coupled with the monkey’s naturally keen hearing, the macaque sitting on the guardrail turned its head and stared at them, its two reddish-brown eyes full of wariness.
Meeting the macaque’s gaze, everyone’s scalp tightened, and their minds were highly tense.
The macaque suddenly bared its teeth and raised the infant it was holding.
Seeing this, the new parents downstairs cried heartbrokenly.
“Didn’t you say the animal consultant was already up there? Why is it still holding my baby up like that! Is it going to throw my baby down?”
“Can you save my child or not?”
“I can understand how you feel…” Meng Xiaokai, who didn’t know the specific situation, was also sweating profusely and felt compelled to comfort them.
On the ninth-floor rooftop, the cold wind howled, and the baby’s cries were intermittent.
The macaque seemed to perceive Jiang Yuan and the others’ nervous emotions, and it brought the infant back into its arms, pacing back and forth on the guardrail.
Everyone’s hearts were in their throats, their breathing became cautious, and they didn’t even dare to blink, for fear that the next moment they opened their eyes, they would see the infant fall.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan had not made any move yet, He Yifei became increasingly annoyed. He lowered his voice and berated, “Captain Si, is this animal consultant you hired any good? Are we just going to stand here and wait for the monkey to throw the infant down?”
“Captain He, give Consultant Jiang a little more time,” Si Heng said solemnly. “You also know the situation is critical, and Consultant Jiang cannot speak rashly.”
Jiang Yuan was indeed thinking about how to communicate with the macaque.
As the cold wind blew in gusts, fine beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead.
At this moment, System 009 suddenly spoke.
【System 009: Miss Jiang, LV1 unlocks the Animal Mall. You can choose the function cards you need in the mall and pay with points. 】
Jiang Yuan didn’t know why it brought this up, but based on her understanding of the system, it was not a system that would spout nonsense at critical moments.
She quickly entered the Animal Mall and, after browsing, was attracted by the “One-Minute Animal Telepathy Card.”
She scanned the usage explanation of the item card and found it very suitable for the current situation, but when she saw that it cost 50 points, her heart ached.
Previously, exchanging for one hour of combat power only cost 20 points, and this one-minute item card actually cost 50 points. It was too expensive.
【System 009: You can upgrade to LV2 as soon as possible, and you can enjoy an 80% discount. 】
Jiang Yuan: “…”
She sighed softly in her heart and exchanged 50 points for the “One-Minute Animal Telepathy Card.”
A human life was definitely more important than points.
Let alone 50 points, she would have exchanged it even if it cost 500 points.
Jiang Yuan used the item card on the macaque and successfully heard its thoughts.
【Monkeys treat humans as friends, but humans snatch away monkeys’ children! 】
【Since humans are so heartless and unjust, don’t blame monkeys for being ruthless! 】
Its child was snatched away by humans?
Jiang Yuan frowned, looked at the macaque’s fierce baring teeth, pressed her lips together, and tentatively asked, “Are you looking for your child?”
The firefighters found this utterly laughable.
What kind of animal consultant was this?
Seeing the monkey snatching a child, they assumed it was looking for its own?
Monkeys were inherently mischievous; it was clearly a simple prank, and it snatched the human child because it was fun.
Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, the macaque, which had been pacing back and forth on the guardrail, suddenly stopped.
Jiang Yuan heard its thoughts again.
【How does this human know the monkey is looking for its child? Was its child stolen by her? 】
As the thought ended, Jiang Yuan noticed that the macaque’s expression became even more fierce, and its emotions were very irritable.
“No, I didn’t steal your child,” Jiang Yuan quickly explained. “Can you tell me who stole your child? Maybe I can help you.”
The faces of the firefighters became gloomy and unpleasant.
He Yifei suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth, “Con-Consultant Jiang, it’s not the time for your act! The monkey isn’t even talking!”
He was unwilling even to call Jiang Yuan “Consultant Jiang.”
The monkey hadn’t even spoken; if she wanted to act, she had to be logical and treat everyone like fools!
Jiang Yuan glanced at He Yifei and ignored his hostile gaze, tentatively approaching the macaque by two steps.
Seeing that it did not overreact, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, held her breath, and listened to the macaque’s thoughts.
【Can she understand monkey language? Will she really help the monkey? 】
“I can understand, and I sincerely want to help you,” Jiang Yuan said gently, pointing to Si Heng behind her. “This is a human police officer, specializing in arresting criminals and protecting humans, as well as protecting macaques.”
Hearing this, the macaque finally moved its mouth and asked, “Can you really find the monkey’s child?”
Jiang Yuan actually dared not guarantee it, as she was unsure if the macaque’s child was alive and safe.
She took a deep breath. “We will try our best, but we also need your cooperation.”
The macaque lowered its eyelids, its expression revealing hesitation.
“Enough!” He Yifei suddenly roared. “How long are you going to keep acting? It’s not time for your play, mmm…”
Si Heng directly reached out and covered his mouth, his expression indifferent. “I apologize, Captain He.”
He Yifei: “Mmm mmm mmm! Let me go!”
However, Si Heng’s action of manually silencing He Yifei agitated the macaque.
Its emotions became agitated again, and it hopped around on the guardrail holding the infant, screaming frantically, “You’re in on it! You’re in on it with those people! That’s how they covered the monkey and snatched the monkey’s child away that day!”
The reporters on the opposite building and the crowd watching downstairs were all drenched in cold sweat.
“Don’t jump, don’t jump! Save my baby!”
“Is the animal consultant even useful?”
“Why is the monkey getting more upset the more you communicate? Is this to save people or to harm them?”
Hearing the macaque’s words, Jiang Yuan quickly asked Si Heng to release He Yifei. “When its child was snatched away, it was controlled like this.”
She looked at the macaque and explained softly, “I’m sorry, please don’t be angry. We just covered his mouth so he wouldn’t scare you by speaking.”
“You are in on it together!” The macaque didn’t believe her.
Every hop the macaque took with the infant made Jiang Yuan’s heart jump.
She looked up and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, feeling extremely anxious and unsure how to comfort the macaque.
Jiang Yuan sighed deeply and decided to ask directly, “What do I need to do for you to believe me?”
The animal world didn’t have so many twists and turns, and this question stumped the macaque.
It stopped jumping, frowned, and stared at Jiang Yuan for a while before saying, “Make them all leave! Go far away!”
