Chapter 670 Public Security
"Is this for me?"

Ai Liang pronounced the question in a declarative tone.

Thinking about it carefully, no one in this family besides him would keep such a pet.

Feng Chengfu nodded and opened the cage: "It's not good for your health if you always stay cooped up in the room reading. You should come out and move around more often."

That's indeed the case.

Ai Liang sighed inwardly.

Feng Chengfu's words are not without merit.

Unless he specifically asks Ai Liang to go out with him, he always stays in his room reading when he's alone.

It's not that reading is bad, but while Feng Chengfu is happy for Ai Liang's intelligence, he also hopes that Ai Liang can pay more attention to her physical and mental health.

Spending a long time in a confined environment can make people more introverted and less willing to interact with others.

But this is no problem for the mentally mature Ai Liang.

He doesn't go out simply because he's too young and his family doesn't allow him to enter society; he can only wander around his own estate, not because he dislikes going out.

After all, it's already good enough if a child of the same age can speak clearly, and among acquaintances, there are too many older children who wouldn't have the patience to accompany a three-year-old.

The manor has many things that Ai Liang would never have dared to dream of in her previous life, such as a horse farm, shooting range, football field, wine cellar, flower field, swimming pool, and the like.

However, there were many things that Ai Liang was too old to enjoy, so he quickly lost interest.

Perhaps because she had been struggling to survive in her past life, Ai Liang was suddenly at a loss, unsure of what to do now that she didn't have to worry about survival and could easily live a life of luxury.

It's like someone living an ordinary life suddenly receiving a huge inheritance from overseas and not knowing how to spend it.

This sense of confusion manifested as autism in Feng Chengfu and his group.

Feng Chengfu placed the cage on the ground with Ai Liang facing it, and soon a small, beige head poked out.

The Angora ferret given to Ai Liang as a pet was naturally domesticated by someone else. The little guy didn't hesitate much and walked straight out of the cage, circled around Ai Liang's feet, and then used its little paws to grab Ai Liang's trouser leg.

Ai Liang has never even kept a cat or dog, let alone a mink.

He looked to Feng Chengfu for help, but the latter simply smiled and nodded.

Left with no other choice, Ai Liang had to squat down and hug the Anglu ferret.

A mink that an adult can easily lift with one hand requires Ai Liang to hold it with both hands.

The warm, furry touch brushed against his palm, and the slightly damp tip of his nose rubbed against Ai Liang's neck, making him feel a little itchy.

After holding it for only a short while, Ai Liang couldn't stand the extremely active mink that was darting around in her arms, so she put it on the ground.

This thing is so lively, no wonder Feng Chengfu chose it as a pet for himself.

"Don't you like it?" Feng Chengfu asked.

Ai Liang hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and replied, "No, it's too lively, I can't get used to it."

These words were essentially a tactful admission, but considering that it was her grandfather's good intention, Ai Liang didn't speak too directly.

There's no need to pretend to like Feng Chengfu and try to please him. Feng Chengfu isn't stupid; he'll definitely see through it in time. It's better to just tell the truth.

"It's alright, it's good that it's lively. We'll take it out for walks more often in the future," Feng Chengfu said cheerfully.

So this is a ferret that forces me to go out?
Ai Liang sighed inwardly and replied, "I understand. Leave the specific timing to Aunt Mei."

Feng Chengfu nodded in satisfaction: "To prevent you from falling into a coma again, we'll temporarily suspend your daily classes for a while to observe your condition. During this time, I can take you around more."

"Can we leave the manor and go outside?" Ai Liang immediately asked.

Aside from necessary physical examinations after birth, Ai Liang has almost never left the manor. He is extremely curious about this unfamiliar parallel world.

"It's fine if it's just near home."

Feng Chengfu squatted down and patted Ai Liang's head: "It's not that I don't want to take you out, it's just that Nevada has been a bit chaotic in recent years, not really suitable for travel."

"A bit messy?"

“Yes, in recent years, many bad people have appeared in Nianhua City, and you are still a child. I’m really worried about you,” Feng Chengfu sighed in a low voice.

"Is the profession of bounty hunter born because the police are under manpower shortages and social order is under great pressure? But wouldn't handing over law enforcement power to outsiders lead to social chaos?"

Ai Liang continued the conversation, bringing up the incident from the television news.

Ai Liang is very concerned about the world she will live in in the future; no one wants to live in a world where crime is rampant.

Faced with Ai Liang's overly precocious question, Feng Chengfu was already used to it. He slowly said, "The emergence of the bounty hunter system is indeed related to social security. However, this system originated in the United States. The Asian Union's bounty hunter system is a special improvement on the basis of the United States."

Bounty hunters registered in the Asian Union don't have law enforcement powers like those there. You can think of them as an intelligence network used by the police to gather information. Only a very small percentage receive official privileges, and these individuals often end up becoming members of the government. Overall, the Asian Union has very good public security.

"Just like Li Yongming in the TV news, he'll appear on the international news channel?" Ai Liang asked curiously.

Feng Chengfu paused for a moment: "He was just an exception. He only received the Medal of Honor because he happened to discover an incident and saved some important figures."

Finally, Feng Chengfu added, "It's not that the other party is unworthy of his reputation. I have heard about his heroic deeds. The main reason is that the privilege represented by the Medal of Honor is too great. Without the help of those big shots, he would not have been able to get it."

Ai Liang thought for a moment and said, "In other words, the Medal of Honor is actually a gimmick, like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey. It's just that those big shots go to great lengths to get it in order to repay a life-saving debt. Most bounty hunters' final destination is just to obtain an official identity."

Feng Chengfu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Ai Liang's analogy: "Your analogy is very vivid. The Medal of Honor is indeed the same for bounty hunters."

Many bounty hunters who have distinguished themselves in the line of work simply take a low-paying job with the government as a way to secure their livelihood in their later years.

It's probably for their own safety.

Ai Liang imagined the rest of what Feng Chengfu hadn't finished saying.

After figuring out the bounty hunter's problem, Ai Liang changed the subject back to going out: "What did you mean when you said there were many bad people in Neva City? Is it dangerous outside?"

Ai Liang had only asked casually, but Feng Chengfu's unusual silence made Ai Liang's heart pound with anxiety.
