Chapter 83: The Country Has A Forbidden Dish
“What?” Taoqi exclaimed, clutching the boy’s hair and pulling hard.
“Ow, ow, ow!” the boy wailed in pain.
Seeing this, Taoqi released one of its small hands and slapped the boy, saying fiercely, “You’re too noisy!”
The boy had no idea what it was saying, and cried incessantly, “Save me, why aren’t you here to save me!”
The principal walked to Si Heng’s side and asked with a frown, “Officer, I’m the principal of the school. Bureau Chief Lou said on the phone that an animal consultant was arranged to come. Hasn’t he arrived yet?”
Hearing this, Si Heng said calmly, “He has already arrived.”
The principal looked around and asked eagerly, “Then where is the consultant? Hurry and have him save our students!”
Si Heng looked at Jiang Yuan’s back view, his chin slightly raised, “She is already communicating with the macaque.”
Hearing this, the principal followed his gaze and his small eyes under his glasses flashed with an unbelievable expression, “You, you’re talking about this girl?”
“Yes,” Si Heng nodded.
The principal adjusted his glasses and looked at Jiang Yuan carefully, his frown deepening, “This girl looks only slightly older than the high school students. She’s the animal consultant?”
Xiao Xu heard him and handed him her phone to look at, “This is a video of the animal consultant saving the infant from the macaque. Principal, you can watch it.”
While the principal was watching the video, he suddenly heard a cheer from the canteen.
He returned the phone to Xiao Xu, looked up, and found that the student who had been controlled by the monkey had regained freedom.
His gaze shifted, and he saw two macaques clinging to Jiang Yuan’s shoulders, one on each side.
Taoqi asked by her right ear, “Can you really help us find Youyou?”
Tonghua asked by her left ear, “Will you humans keep your word?”
Jiang Yuan felt a bit stiff from the two macaques being so close. Her red lips moved slightly, and she said softly, “I don’t know about other humans, but I keep my word.”
She paused, then continued, “The human police will definitely catch the person who snatched Youyou. After all, such behavior is vile and has already violated national law, but…”
Taoqi stared at her, “But what?”
Jiang Yuan pressed her lips together, her tone becoming a little solemn, “We cannot confirm if Youyou is safe and alive…”
Upon hearing this, Taoqi and Tonghua’s furry little faces showed sadness, and mist gathered in their tea-brown eyes.
“No matter what, we have to find them!” Taoqi gritted her teeth, her voice slightly choked, “It’s best if Youyou is safe and alive. If Youyou… I will definitely get revenge for Youyou!”
Tonghua nodded vigorously, “That’s right! Revenge!”
Jiang Yuan reached out and touched their fluffy heads, “Yes, we must catch them!”
The principal watched this scene and chuckled, “The country truly has many heroes nowadays.”
**
Jiang Yuan and the others made another trip to Wu Lin Mountain to take Taoqi and Tonghua back.
As they were leaving, Taoqi shouted after their backs, “You must find Youyou!”
This incident weighed heavily on Jiang Yuan’s heart like a heavy stone.
The macaque baby Youyou was snatched away the day before yesterday. Is it still alive now?
Si Heng saw her worried look in the rearview mirror. His dark eyebrows furrowed, and his mood also became heavy.
Xiao Xu felt the atmosphere in the carriage becoming a bit solemn. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and quickly found a topic, “I wonder what those people want with macaque babies. It’s really strange.”
“Our country has a forbidden dish called monkey brain,” Si Heng said coldly.
“Monkey brain?” Jiang Yuan frowned and took out her phone to open the browser to search.
Seeing the preparation process for monkey brain, her expression darkened, and her tone was filled with annoyance, “This way of eating is too cruel!”
Xiao Xu was driving and saw Jiang Yuan so angry, he asked doubtfully, “So how is monkey brain made?”
Jiang Yuan replied dully, “They first shave off the baby monkey’s fur and then pour boiling hot water directly onto the baby monkey’s head…”
After hearing this, Xiao Xu couldn’t help but shiver, “My heavens! That’s too much! How much pain must the monkey be in!”
“That’s why this dish became a national forbidden dish,” Si Heng said in a cold tone, “but there are still some ignorant people who, in pursuit of uniqueness, are keen on eating wild game.”
Xiao Xu gripped the steering wheel, angrily saying, “These people must all be arrested! Doing this not only destroys the ecological environment but also easily spreads germs!”
“Yes, severe punishment is warranted!” Si Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly, his handsome face seemingly covered in frost.
“If you need any help, just call me anytime,” Jiang Yuan said solemnly.
Si Heng met her bright, star-like eyes through the rearview mirror and inexplicably felt his heart skip a beat. A small beast seemed to be violently beating and struggling in his chest.
**
Two days later.
Yun Jing Police issued a notice.
Zhong Moumou, in collaboration with her boyfriend Lei Mou, accepted twenty thousand yuan from Fang Mou, got her good friend Xiao Li （ (alias ）) drunk, and allowed Fang Mou to attempt rape…
…
This notice instantly sparked heated discussions online.
【Damn, the black-hearted best friend should rot in jail! 】
【They actually sold their friend for twenty thousand yuan??? 】
【Wait, doesn’t this plot feel a bit familiar? I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere… 】
【Holy crap, isn’t this the plot from Jiang Yuan’s live stream that night? She said it wasn’t a script, and no one believed her. Turns out this really happened??? 】
【Heavens! That girl named Xiao Tao was too lucky… If she hadn’t coincidentally connected to Jiang Yuan’s live stream, the consequences would have been unthinkable! 】
【Ahhh, when is Jiang Yuan live streaming next? 】
【Are you guys serious or not? If it’s true, can you tell me Jiang Yuan’s account? 】
The party involved, Jiang Yuan, was unaware of this. She was having afternoon tea at Fu Xiaoxiao’s house.
Jin Jin grinned as soon as he saw her.
Jiang Yuan reached out and touched Jin Jin’s head, pondering a matter in her heart.
It still didn’t know about the death of its previous owner.
She picked up her phone, edited a message, and handed the phone screen to Fu Xiaoxiao.
【Should we tell Jin Jin about the death of its previous owner? 】
Fu Xiaoxiao took the phone and typed a few characters: 【How about telling it that the previous owner went abroad and isn’t coming back? 】
Jiang Yuan shook her head, disagreeing.
She sighed, “Let’s tell it the truth. There needs to be trust between humans and animals too.”
Fu Xiaoxiao felt that her reasoning made sense.
She nodded, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Jin Jin was returning to them, carrying a frisbee.
“Jin Jin, we want to tell you something,” Jiang Yuan took the frisbee and looked at it with a serious expression, “about your previous male owner.”
Hearing this, Jin Jin’s dark brown eyes suddenly lit up, and it asked expectantly, “Yuan Yuan, is the male owner back?”
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt reluctant to continue.
She pressed her lips together and said gently, “He… passed away.”
