Chapter 203: Startled by her ID

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Feng Feng instantly bristled, "Bullshit! I'm not a coward!"

Jiang Yuan pulled out her phone and smashed it on the head a few times. "Try swearing again, and I'll beat you up, you know?"

“You…” Feng Feng said angrily, “Forget it, I’m not going to argue with a female.”

Jiang Yuan was amused by it and didn't bother to argue with it. She stood up and said calmly, "Follow me."

Fengfeng huffed and puffed as it followed behind her, waving its paws as it crawled along.

Firefighters and police officers stood at the turnstiles, and when they saw this scene, expressions of shock and disbelief instantly appeared on their faces, with some even opening their mouths wide involuntarily.

"This……"

"My God! How is this possible?"

"The crocodile followed behind her, as obedient as a husky!"

Jiang Yuan stopped in front of Wei Fangfei and the others. Feng Feng, who was following behind her, retracted its claws on the ground and also stopped.

"Do you have cable ties?" she asked the staff member in the zoo uniform.

"Yes!" The other person took out a few cable ties from their work uniform pocket and handed them over.

Jiang Yuan took only one stick and tied Feng Feng's mouth shut.

Fengfeng glared at her resentfully, wanting to curse but unable to say it, and could only sulk.

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and said to the zoo staff, "Please take it in the car. There are two Yangtze alligators inside."

Principal Qu's eyes trembled slightly, her heart filled with excitement, "Advisor Jiang, thank you so much!"

Jiang Yuan reached out and gently patted Director Qu's shoulder, smiling gently, "I'll go find them first."

As she turned to leave, a firefighter suddenly came to her side. It was he who had just told her to leave and not cause trouble.

"Is something the matter?" Jiang Yuan asked.

The firefighter's gaze fell on her calm face, and a hint of embarrassment crept onto his cheeks. He pursed his lips, saying with a touch of apology, "I apologize for what I did!"

After saying that, he bent down and bowed deeply to her solemnly.

His companions also came over, saying "I'm sorry" one after another.

“It’s alright.” Jiang Yuan shook her head gently and explained, “You meant well, but your actions in that situation would frighten the Yangtze alligators. I’ll take care of the remaining two Yangtze alligators.”

Everyone understood that she was the professional in this situation, and they nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you for your trust." After saying that, Jiang Yuan walked back into the hot spring area with her slender legs.

In just ten minutes, she brought out a Yangtze alligator, TuTu.

After handing Tutu to the zoo staff, Jiang Yuan entered the hot spring area.

This time it took fifteen minutes to bring back the Yangtze alligator, Congcong.

All three Yangtze alligators in the hot spring area have been found, and the system items show that one Yangtze alligator is hiding in the hotel parking lot.

It was nearly 8 p.m., and Jiang Yuan was feeling a bit hungry. At that moment, Director Qu suggested that they have dinner at the hotel before continuing their search for the Yangtze alligator.

“You guys eat first.” Jiang Yuan was a little worried about the Yangtze alligator hiding in the hotel parking lot. “There’s another Yangtze alligator hiding in the parking lot. I’ll go find it. You guys pack it up for me, and I can eat it in the car.”

“No, I’ll go with you.” Director Qu couldn’t bear to let Jiang Yuan go hungry while she went to find crocodiles, and she would stay at the hotel for dinner.

"No need," Jiang Yuan explained. "This is to save time; you can pack it for me."

"Please pack it for me too," Xiao Xu said. "My mission is to protect Jiang Yuan, so I have to stay with her every step of the way."

Director Qu was still somewhat hesitant, but Wei Fangfei said, "Old Qu, just listen to Jiang Yuan. You can thank her slowly later."

Director Qu nodded, "Alright then, please be careful."

Following the location guidance, Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu headed to the hotel's underground parking lot. As soon as they entered the parking lot, they were enveloped in dim light, with a few faint halos of light cast by the overhead lights. The surroundings were quiet, and their footsteps were so clear that they sounded like they were stepping on a drum.

Jiang Yuan discovered that the Yangtze alligator's location had begun to shift.

She frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Xu: "Let's split up and search. You search this side, and I'll search that side."

"Okay." Xiao Xu nodded. "Call me if you need anything."

Jiang Yuan ran towards the location indicated, but when she arrived at the location, she did not see the Yangtze alligator.

But the Yangtze alligator's location had stopped, and it hadn't moved any further.

Why is it so strange?
Jiang Yuan called Xiao Xu over, intending to search the surrounding area.

Just then, a cleaning worker nearby asked curiously, "Young ladies, what are you looking for?"

"Looking for the Yangtze alligator that escaped from the zoo." Jiang Yuan looked at the other person and asked, "Uncle, have you seen it here in the parking lot?"

"I didn't see it." The cleaning man shook his head.

"Thank you." Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and continued her search.

Seeing this, the cleaning worker chuckled and said, "Then take your time looking. I won't bother you any longer."

Jiang Yuan glanced at him and said calmly, "It's alright, it won't affect anything."

"I have to go to work," the sanitation worker said, pulling his cleaning cart away.

Jiang Yuan noticed that the Yangtze alligator had started moving again.

She frowned and glanced around.

Apart from a few parked cars, there's nowhere here to hide the Yangtze alligator.

She checked under the car as well, but found nothing.

Does this Yangtze alligator know how to become invisible?

Jiang Yuan was hungry and anxious, her brows furrowed, looking exhausted and distressed.

She took a deep breath, followed the location, and saw the cleaning man struggling to pull the cleaning cart.

Jiang Yuan gradually slowed her pace, her gaze falling on the cleaning truck. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, making her eyes light up.

"Uncle," she called out.

The cleaning man didn't stop; instead, his pace quickened.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuan narrowed her clear eyes slightly, turned to look at Xiao Xu, and said in a decisive low voice, "The Yangtze alligator is in his cleaning truck."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xu's eyes widened slightly, a hint of surprise in her heart, wondering how she had discovered it.

But knowing that now was not the time to ask that question, Xiao Xu nodded: "I'll go stop him."

After saying that, she lightly chased after him and blocked the street cleaner's path.

"Girl, what's wrong?" The cleaning man looked flustered. "I'm on my way to work. I didn't see any of those crocodiles you were talking about."

"Didn't you see it?" Jiang Yuan walked to his side, her delicate features serious. "Are you sure? That Yangtze alligator is a Class I protected animal in China. Possessing a protected animal is illegal. Can you take responsibility for what you said?"

Xiao Xu then promptly showed his police ID, saying, "I hope you will answer truthfully."

The cleaning man was startled by her identification and stammered, "Police...police?"

"Yes." Xiao Xu looked him over. "I'll ask you again, did you see any crocodiles?"

"I don't know what a crocodile looks like, but I found a strange thing while cleaning up the trash in the parking lot just now."

After the sanitation worker finished speaking, he opened the lid of the cleaning truck and took away the black plastic bag on it.
