Chapter 18: Sheriff Sandcat is arrested
After listening to the content on the phone, Xu Ying's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, her 032 rescue station was robbed?

Qi Xiao was holding the little fennec fox. After hearing the content of the call, his brows showed worry: "Why don't we go back to the 032 rescue station first?"

"I'll go with you."

Qi Xiao glanced at the supplies stored in the 028 aid station and said, "I'll help you send some supplies over there. These are the ones they withheld from you."

Xu Ying felt that asking Qi Xiao to deliver the milk bottles and milk powder today was already troublesome enough for him.

Qi Xiao saw her hesitation and said, "If anything happens, one more person means more strength."

Qi Xiao is tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his muscles are well-defined. When he stands next to me, it feels like he can replace three people, and I feel very safe.

His life was at stake, so Xu Ying didn't refuse: "Thank you for your help."

"Qi Xiao, thank you so much today."

Xu Ying patted his chest and assured, "If your ranch encounters any difficult problems in the future, you can come to me. Although I just graduated, I'm not bragging. My professional level as a veterinarian is top-notch."

Qi Xiao was infected by the confident and cheerful smile on Xu Ying's face. His cold phoenix eyes also smiled and curved slightly: "Well, I believe you."

"You look very reliable."

Xu Ying received the affirmation in Qi Xiao's eyes and blinked.

Did Qi Xiao notice when watching the live broadcast that there were a lot of comments questioning her age and appearance, so he said this to comfort her?
It’s so heartwarming!

Xu Ying's live broadcast was interrupted when a call came in.

Xu Ying posted a video of fennec fox cubs running and playing, thanked the enthusiastic netizens in the text, and explained the time for the daily live broadcast. Then he immediately started packing up and returned to the 032 rescue station.

Xu Ying looked back at the five little foxes in the rescue station. He could only keep them until he could help these little babies find their mother.

Although there are five more little guys to take care of, Xu Ying is very happy!
However, she was a little worried that she would develop feelings for the fox cubs after spending too long with them, and would be reluctant to send them back to their mother.

What a sweet trouble!

Xu Ying squatted down and told the little fox cubs, "My dears, take a walk here first to digest the food. Then come back to the 032 rescue station with me."

When the fox cubs heard this, their eyes lit up and they were very excited.

[Wow, we're going to live in my sister's lair!]
[Yay! This shelter smells like those two bad guys. I don't like it. Finally, I can move out~]
[I'm curious about what my sister's dormitory looks like. How is it different from this shelter?]
Xu Ying and Qi Xiao picked out some essential daily necessities together, packed them in a box and tied it to Qi Xiao's motorcycle.

The 028 rescue station had gasoline for motorcycles, and Xu Ying filled up the motorcycle's tank.

After packing up their things, the two men rode their respective motorcycles, one carrying supplies and the other carrying an aviation box, and quickly rushed towards the 032 rescue station.

The two arrived at the 032 aid station within an hour.

When we arrived, there was already a jeep parked near the 032 rescue station.

Hearing the sound of a motorcycle engine, a thin old man in a dark blue jacket got out of the jeep.

This is the original body's superior, Director Yi, Yi Yuanzhou, who is 52 years old this year. I heard that he has been working as a desert worker for 30 years.

To be honest, Xu Ying was a little nervous about meeting his superiors.

As a result, as soon as Director Yi got out of the car, she immediately saw the old man walking towards her with a milk tea bag in his hand.

Seeing the milk tea bags of the familiar brand, Xu Ying was stunned. How did this old man get them in this barren desert?

"Comrade Xu Ying, I heard that you young people all love to drink milk tea. I brought this for you."

Director Yi's simple yet weathered face was filled with sincere apology, which made people feel sad. "It was my negligence at work that caused you to suffer such excessive bullying from a colleague. This is my dereliction of duty. I apologize to you."

"I have already applied for job subsidies and compensation for you, and the approval process is in progress."

There are over seventy aid stations in the desert, and they're so far apart that Director Yi can't reach them all. After learning that Xu Ying was abandoned in the desert by Tan Ming and his brother and nearly died, he felt deeply guilty.

There are few young people willing to work in the desert. If things like this are not handled seriously, it will easily discourage the young people.

When these old guys are too old to work hard in their jobs, who will be willing to take over?
Xu Ying took the milk tea thermos bag and found that the bag was still cold.

Director Yi called out to Xu Ying, "Hurry up and try it. I don't know what you like, so I asked the waiter to make two cups of what young people like the most."

Xu Ying couldn't help but ask curiously, "Thank you, Director. Where did you buy the milk tea? It looks freshly made, not too long ago."

Director Yi smiled sheepishly and said, "I've been in another province for a meeting lately. I bought the milk tea in the city before I came back on the military transport plane today."

"I thought it might still be drinkable if I brought it back with an extra ice pack."

Xu Ying was stunned when she heard this. This was the most amazing takeout she had ever received, and it arrived on a military transport plane!

There is a military airport in the desert. If the superior leaders are on a business trip, they usually take a plane from the nearby military airport.

Xu Ying looked at Director Yi's simple attire, feeling both sad and touched.

Oh my god, this is the first time she has met such a reasonable leader. She can truly feel his sincerity.

If it were any of the weird leaders she had met in the workplace, their first reaction when something bad happened would be to threaten the victim not to speak out.

It is even more impossible for the leader to admit his mistake and apologize.

Xu Ying wanted to share a cup of milk tea with Director Yi, but he waved his hand to refuse.

"You young people drink it. I'm old and I only drink red date and wolfberry tea."

Director Yi then extended his hand to Qi Xiao, who was standing beside Xu Ying. "Hello again, Comrade Qi Xiao. Thank you so much for helping our rescue station so many times."

Qi Xiao smiled shyly: "You're welcome."

Xu Ying blinked, it turned out to be an old acquaintance!

She gave Qi Xiao a cup of milk tea, then looked towards the door of the 032 aid station, "Director Yi, what's going on in the aid station? Have you seen it?"

The rescue station is actually a one-story iron house that looks very simple from the outside.

"not yet."

Director Yi shook his head: "I'm afraid something might happen, so I'll wait for you in the car first."

Qi Xiao took off the long package tied to the back seat of his motorcycle and said, "Let's go together."

Qi Xiao walked in front, taking out something from the package as he walked. It turned out to be an alloy bow and arrow.

With a creak, the slightly closed door of the rescue station was pushed open.

The shelter was bare, with nothing in it except beds, lockers, and a lame table.

Qi Xiao frowned: "This thief emptied your aid station."

Xu Ying scratched his head embarrassedly when he heard this: "No, it doesn't look like anything is missing. My shelter is just like this, with nothing to show."

The original owner was short of supplies, so how could he have the spare energy to add things to the rescue station?

Suddenly, Xu Ying's whole body stiffened.

She saw messy footprints and a pool of blood on the ground of the rescue station!
There were human shoe prints and plum blossom-shaped paw prints that looked like they were left by a cat.

Qi Xiao and Director Yi obviously noticed it as well, and their expressions suddenly became serious.

Just as Xu Ying was wondering, a system task notification sounded in her mind: [The desert cat was captured by a suspicious person at the rescue station. Host, please rescue it!]
