start with a pet store

Chapter 953 Evil comes with evil consequences
The parent looked back at him and said, "Ah, doesn't it say zero stars for danger? I didn't dare let him catch the spiders before, but this one says it's non-toxic, and the sign says it's safe to touch, so I thought I'd let him try it."

"You'd better take it easy. Most of the things here are marked wrong. He thought your child was too young and he couldn't help but say it..." Xiao Xin had been listening to Xiao Sun for so long and understood a little bit, so he added.

"Baby, hurry up, listen to your brother and sister and put it back inside." The parent listened to the advice and immediately took the scorpion from the child's hand and put it into the shallow table.

Xiao Sun and Xiao Xin looked at each other and smiled, then continued walking forward.

As expected, the insect museum was full of mislabeled items.

Xiao Sun didn't want to talk anymore, because there were so many mistakes that he almost had an attack of stupidity.

What is the stupid leaf butterfly? It is obviously a leaf butterfly. There is also a big tree frog written on it, and there is actually a pet old tree frog in the tank. There are simply too many things.

After passing several tanks in the middle, there is an interactive pool at the back, which contains many exotic scorpions just like the ones in the front. Many children grabbed the scorpions directly in their hands and touched them without any staff guiding them.

These scorpions are in very bad condition, but that doesn't mean they don't have a temper and won't sting people. At first, Xiao Sun thought that the organizer had cut off their stingers. Although Xiao Sun also felt that was inappropriate, the lives of small animals are also lives.

But he was obviously overthinking it. He looked at several of them and found that the stingers of the little guys had not been cut off, so this made Xiao Sun sweat in his heart. He didn't know who gave the organizer the courage to do this.

Xiao Sun took a lot of photos. He felt that he must tell Brother Lu about it when he got back. This was so wrong.

He thought that Brother Lu probably didn't know there was such an exhibition, otherwise he would have come to see it. He might as well give him a heads-up early. If he didn't want to be pissed off, he'd better not come.

The two of them walked around and finally reached the exit.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to exit, he saw a scene that made him feel upset.

I saw two little boys, each holding a sand lizard in their hands. It was obvious that the two little guys were dead. They were lying straight in the little boys' hands, walking around so arrogantly. The staff at the door were laughing and no one spoke up to take care of them.

It seems that the staff are used to this kind of scene.

What’s even more ironic is that the loudspeaker next to it kept repeating the words: “Parents, please keep an eye on your children and don’t touch the animals in cages or exhibition halls at will…”

Xiao Sun was speechless. He took a video and then took Xiao Xin out the door.

"Let's go and eat first. After dinner, I want to go back to the store and show the video to Brother Lu..." Xiao Sun said.

"It's still early for dinner, why don't we go back to the store now..." Xiao Xin knew what Xiao Sun was thinking. He had been holding his breath all morning.

"Is this... okay? It's our first date..." Xiao Sun said.

"It's okay, let's go talk to Brother Lu and then find a place to eat. It's still early to eat now, right? Besides, if you don't tell Brother Lu first, you probably won't be able to eat comfortably." Xiao Xin said with a smile.

Xiao Sun scratched his head: "Do you think I have a bad temper? Actually, I am not like this usually."

"Oh, I know. Besides, you're not in any trouble. Let's go..." Xiao Xin took his hand and said, "You can take the bus up ahead. There are buses that go directly to our store."

"Okay..." Xiao Sun also laughed.

When Lu Jingxing arrived at the store today, he went into the operating room. He finally came down. Just as he arrived at the office and had no time to drink a sip of water, he saw Xiao Sun running in in a hurry.

Lu Jingxing looked at him in surprise: "Why do I remember that you are resting today?"

Xiao Sun didn't say anything, but pulled out the video from his phone and showed it to Lu Jingxing.

"Look here..." He pointed at the questions on his phone and said, "Brother Lu, this is a green snake, a protected animal. Look at how they raise it. Look at the soil."

Lu Jingxing looked in the direction he said.

"It's white soil, not moist at all. Look how miserable this snake is. It can't even shed its skin and is stuck like this. The one below is even more..." Xiao Sun became more and more angry as he spoke. Lu Jingxing had never seen him with such an expression before.

"It's really too much." Lu Jingxing frowned as he watched, "These people who use animals to make money only care about making money and don't care about the animals' lives. The circus at least knows how to provide food and water. They are too bad."

Xiao Sun sighed: "Not only is their behavior bad, they are doing this kind of thing in the name of popularizing science. And popularizing science, these people who distort the knowledge of young people are really..."

Lu Jingxing nodded. This behavior was not only disrespectful to pets, but also disrespectful to knowledge and life.

It is impossible to ignore this kind of thing, Lu Jingxing decided to find a way to resolve this situation.

Looks like I need to find some connections.

Lu Jingxing saved Xiao Sun’s video and sent it to Yi Wandou.

Soon, a call came to Lu Jingxing's cell phone.

"Lu Jingxing, where did you get this video?" Yi Wandou's serious voice came from the other side.

"One of my employees saw it when he visited this exhibition..." Lu Jingxing answered truthfully.

"I have something else to do, so let's forget about it for now. Are you free now? Let's go and take a look together." Yi Wandou was obviously unable to sit still.

"Okay, let's gather at the entrance of the venue. I'll send you the location..." Lu Jingxing replied.

Half an hour later, Lu Jingxing saw Yi Wandou dressed in black outside the venue.

"Here, here." Yi Wandou waved his hand there.

"Why are you wearing this, a black hat and a black mask? I almost didn't recognize you..." Lu Jingxing asked curiously.

"Oh, don't mention it. If I don't wear this, I'm afraid I can't even get into the parking lot." Yi Wandou took off his mask and took a deep breath. "I have reported this exhibition several times in other places. I never thought that the organizer would not give up and even came to Long'an..."

Lu Jingxing seemed to see the ferocious look on his face under the mask: "Then let's go in first."

A few people bought tickets and entered the venue again.

After passing the ticket through the machine, Yi Wandou tore up the ticket in his hand viciously and threw it into the trash can beside him.

"For such a small amount of money, a healthy animal is treated like this. I'm so angry..." Yi Wandou had never been so angry before.

Lu Jingxing looked all the way and saw that it was just as Xiao Sun said. The animals' stomachs were deflated due to hunger. There was not a single heating lamp in the venue, but the air conditioner was on fine.

"These animals from tropical and desert areas probably never thought that they would shiver with cold one day." Yi Wandou sighed. Yi Wandou recorded the whole process. As he was an experienced person, he used a small sports camera, mainly for evidence collection.

Lu Jingxing felt chilled when he saw this. He had devoted his entire life to the pet business, but he had never seen anyone making a profit from exotic pets in this way. This was no different from the so-called dog dealers who sold breeding dogs.

However, dog dealers have been condemned by everyone in recent years, but he can still openly hold so-called exhibitions.

Finally, looking at the sail-lizards on display individually, several people sighed at the same time.

"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Jingxing asked Yi Wandou.

Yi Wandou was silent for a while: "I don't know how to fix it now. I sent the video to the relevant department before. It is true that the exhibition was blocked at that time, but now you can see it..."

Lu Jingxing was speechless. Indeed, it was still operating normally, regardless of the relationship between the person who opened it and the others. But it was hard for these reptiles.

Several people left the exhibition hall and sat outside.

This was the first time that Lu Jingxing felt so helpless. Yi Wandou kept calling the relevant departments, but most of them just responded lip service, and it was unclear whether there was any follow-up.

At this time, Lu Jingxing came up with a good idea.

"Let's expose him." Lu Jingxing thought of someone, someone who hadn't contacted him for a long time. She would definitely come for this kind of topic.

After listening to Lu Jingxing's suggestion, Yi Wandou also nodded: "Then I will come again with her alone tomorrow. I should have known that you have such a friend. But I have a better idea..."

The next night, Lu Jingxing's account posted a video titled "Popularizing science should not cost lives!!!"

After this video was released, the comment section was filled with boos, and there was no shortage of internet trolls trying to whitewash and speak for the exhibition.

After the video craze broke out, Long'an TV station also followed up with an undercover investigation, exposing the black-heartedness and irresponsibility of the exhibition, and interviewed a large number of relevant people, condemning and criticizing the exhibition.

This time it was different. This matter was no longer just Yi Wandou's report, but was fully exposed to the public. The relevant departments quickly took measures and carried out a series of controls such as suspension of exhibition and inspection.

A few days later, Lu Jingxing received a call from a reporter.

"Good evening, Mr. Lu. Thank you so much for allowing me to shoot such good material..." The reporter thanked Lu Jingxing.

"I should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for your news, I don't know how long this black-hearted capitalist would continue to abuse the lives of these animals..." said Lu Jingxing.

"You're wrong." The reporter laughed and said, "What he did was unjust, and he will be punished one day. I was just adding fuel to the fire. Aren't you the ones who discovered the problem?"

Lu Jingxing smiled.

The reporter continued, "Guess what's happening to that boss now? Forget it, I'll tell you, he was investigated for suspected animal smuggling and bribed officials. He's been arrested now and will probably go to jail for a few years."

"That's a good thing." Lu Jingxing continued, "This can be considered his retribution. I just don't know what to do with his reptiles..."

The reporter listened to his words and smiled: "I was just going to tell you this. His reptiles are now detained by the court. The court is going to auction them off at a low price. Are you interested in buying them? Otherwise, who knows who will take them away."

Lu Jingxing agreed immediately.

Then Xiao Sun looked at the boxes being unloaded from the van, and his face, which had been full of joy at first, slowly fell.

"Brother Lu, let me discuss something with you..." Xiao Sun said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Lu Jingxing was a little confused.

"Or you could send someone else over. There are so many, I can't handle it all by myself." Xiao Sun looked at the reptiles as if they were treasures, but his energy was limited, and he couldn't handle so many by himself.

Lu Jingxing nodded and put the sand lizard in his hand into the sand tray. He had someone build this sand tray two days ago. It was not only large, but also had running water and heat lamps, allowing more than ten lizards to coexist peacefully in it.

"Then you go and choose the person yourself, but you need other people's consent. You can't force them to do something..." Lu Jingxing teased him with a smile.

"I'm not a human trafficker, Brother Lu, what you said is..." Xiao Sun scratched his head: "But then again, where did those butterflies go? Why didn't I see them?"

"Oh, we don't have a place to raise butterflies here, but the director of the zoo has a butterfly base, so I sent it there to him." Lu Jingxing remembered the director's smiling face behind the phone and also smiled.

"Come and take a look at this snake. It may need help to shed its skin. Let's go to the operating room..." Lu Jingxing pulled Xiao Sun up.

"Okay!" Xiao Sun followed him.

A week had passed when Xiao Sun and Xiao Xin had dinner again.

"What do you think, Brother Lu is awesome, isn't he? Not only did he bring down that boss, he also brought the reptile pet circle to everyone's attention. It's a win-win situation." Xiao Sun praised Lu Jingxing without hesitation.

"Brother Lu is indeed amazing, but you are also amazing. If you hadn't taken the initiative to talk to Brother Lu, I guess this exhibition would have continued..." Xiao Xin cut the steak and forked a piece onto Xiao Sun's plate: "Try mine, it's quite delicious."

"That's true." Xiao Sun put the piece of meat into his mouth: "But after all, I just wrote a report."

Xiao Xin smiled.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Lu asked me to find someone to go to the reptile area. There's no other way. Brother Lu brought in too many reptiles and they need someone to take care of them. Can you go?" Xiao Sun asked.

"Me?" Xiao Xin looked a little surprised: "It's not impossible, but will Brother Lu agree?"

"Of course, he told me to find one as long as I'm not forced." Xiao Sun was a little proud.

"Oh~really?" Xiao Xin smiled: "Then I... don't want to for the time being."

"Why?" The smile on Xiao Sun's face froze.

"Hehe, since I don't agree, you can't force me, right?" Xiao Xin said with a smile, "I feel like watching a movie now, what do you say I should do?"

Xiao Sun was frustrated: "Okay, okay, I really can't do anything to you. Which one do you want to watch? Brother Lu specifically asked me to make up for my leave, so I can't waste it."

At this time, Lu Jingxing was in the exotic pet area, very busy.

It really won't work without my little grandson...
