Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 268 A Sudden Turn of Events!
For these humans who frequently make noise.

Ling Xiaozhe didn't have a good impression of her.

Without hesitation, it leaped lightly off the stone slab.

It seemed to stumble slightly upon landing, its hind paws tilting as it habitually did, but it quickly shook them off and appeared to be unharmed.

It wanted to go back to the inner quarters.

As a result, he ran into Ling Xiaomang on the way.

The little guy hid behind the tire toy, and then suddenly pounced out when Ling Xiaozhe got close!
I wanted to scare Ling Xiaozhe.

This sudden 'attack' gave Ling Xiaozhe, who was focused on the direction of the passage, a real fright!

Out of feline instinct, Ling Xiaozhe's fur stood on end!
With all four claws exerting force, it leaped high to the side!

Its entire body stretched out in mid-air, its fluffy fur bristled, and it instantly turned into a panicked giant snow pancake!
What's even more ridiculous is that Ling Xiaomang, who launched the 'attack,' was actually frightened by Ling Xiaozhe's overly intense reaction!

Almost simultaneously, it also leaped upwards in the same exaggerated manner.

It turned into another fluffy little snow cake in mid-air.

(As shown in the picture)
These two unfortunate brothers are incredibly brave!

Normally, Chen Nian and the principal would definitely burst into laughter upon seeing such a hilarious scene.

That's hilarious!
However, everyone's attention was focused on the entrance to the employee passage, rather than on the comical scene inside.

Or rather, it's focused on the family of three who appeared at the entrance of the passage.

The headmaster's brows furrowed instantly.

"Didn't I already order the museum to be sealed off? Where did this family of three come from?"

He looked at the staff member in charge of the leopard enclosure.

"I gonna go see!"

The staff immediately ran to check.

Less than a minute later, a voice came from the walkie-talkie clipped to my shoulder.

"Director, the 'No Entry' sign is still there, with no signs of being moved or damaged. Judging from the situation, these three people must have ignored the sign and bypassed the barrier to get in. I'll go in now and persuade them to leave."

zizi.

The walkie-talkie went silent.

The headmaster looked at Chen Nian with a mix of headache and surprise.

"Teacher Chen, how did you know someone was coming?"

“Yes!” The others also looked on curiously.

Chen Nian pointed to Ling Xiaozhe, who had just been on the stone slab, and said with a smile, "I can tell from Xiaozhe's reaction."

"I simply combined its reaction and made a reasonable inference."

"By the way, Principal, does this kind of thing happen often?"

Chen Nian skillfully changed the subject.

The headmaster shook his head: "This is the first time."

“Generally, we announce the cleaning of the venue or the closure of the venue for other reasons on our official account one day in advance, so this situation has never occurred before.”

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone force their way in like this!"

The vast majority of tourists who come here are quite well-mannered.

Even if the venue is closed, I won't just barge in.

The main reason is that if the zoo is closed, the animals inside will be moved, so even if someone manages to get in, they won't see anything, and naturally no one wants to make a wasted trip.

However, due to special circumstances today.

So the park staff simply put up a sign to stop them, as usual.

Unexpectedly, someone broke in.

This was something the head of the kindergarten hadn't expected.

Of course, this is not a big deal. After all, today is just to accompany Chen Nian to do an experiment. There is no danger, and the venue will be open to visitors as usual in the afternoon.

However, this act of defying the rules caused the head of the kindergarten and others to have a lower opinion of the family of three.

"As expected, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest."

"That's definitely the case when there are more people."

The zookeepers chirped softly. Even the usually mild-mannered zoo director was getting a little angry.

If it weren't for this family of three suddenly barging in, Teacher Chen might have already successfully made contact with Ling Xiaomang.

You should know that the first step is often the hardest!

The director was furious that such a crucial moment was interrupted by these rude tourists.

He looked at Chen Nian with a face full of apology.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Chen, it was our oversight."

Chen Nian waved her hands repeatedly: "It's alright, Principal. There's nothing anyone can do about this."

We can't let the park completely close the entire venue just because of his one experiment; that would be too much of a fuss.

Moreover, the operation was not a complete failure.

At least in Ling Xiaomang's mind, he had already left a good impression on her enough.

This laid the groundwork for the next contact.

So this cat-catching attempt wasn't a complete failure.

As they were talking, the family of three also arrived at the outer edge of the activity area. Through the huge observation glass, they immediately saw the "Zhemo Mang" duo playing and frolicking inside.

Immediately, the child excitedly broke free from his mother's hand.

Like a small cannonball, it rushed to the glass window, stretched out its hands, and pounded on the thick glass with force.

While taking pictures, she shouted, "Mom, look! It's Xiao Mang! It's Xiao Mang!"

"It's so cute! Even cuter than on TV!"

Right on the glass window he was banging on, there was a clear sign that read, "Please do not bang on the glass, and please do not make loud noises to avoid disturbing the animals."

However, what is infuriating is...

The parents of the children following behind were completely oblivious to this!

Moreover, she didn't stop her own child. Instead, she walked up behind the child with a smile, pointing at the little snow leopard inside through the glass, with a satisfied smile on her face, as if she had made the trip worthwhile.

"Oh my, it really is quite cute, all fluffy," the child's mother said with a smile.

"Yes, it was worth the trip!"

In order to get a better view of the snow leopard cub and attract its attention, the father even imitated him, reaching out and tapping the glass forcefully with his knuckles, making sounds like he was teasing a house cat.

"Come here, Mimi, come here."

Bang bang bang!
The dull yet resonant knocking sound clearly penetrated the thick glass and entered the activity area.

The sudden loud noise startled Ling Xiaozhe and Ling Xiaomang, who had just calmed down and were cuddling and licking each other to soothe each other!

This time, it wasn't a playful scare between brothers.

It was a truly threatening disturbance from the outside world!

The father of the child went to great lengths to attract the attention of the two leopards.

Especially Ling Xiaomang, who was already more timid and had relatively weak lower body strength due to her old injuries, was so frightened that her limbs went weak and she tumbled and fell off the low tree stump where they were lying!

Ouch——!
Ling Xiaomang let out a short cry of pain as her back hit the ground first. Although the ground beneath her was soft grass, the sudden impact and the way she fell aggravated her already fragile and recovering old back injury, causing a sharp pain to shoot through her body!
When it struggled to get up from the ground, it was clear that it dared not put any force on its left hind leg.

His walking posture also became limping.

It's obvious that the old injury has recurred!

However, the family of three outside the glass window, seeing Ling Xiaomang's disheveled state after falling and getting injured due to the sudden fright, showed no remorse or sympathy whatsoever. Instead, their faces revealed even more excited and amused smiles!

"Haha! Look at it! How clumsy! It still managed to fall down like that!"

The little boy pointed at Ling Xiaomang, who was walking unsteadily, and laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"Exactly, for a feline, how can its balance be so poor? And its reactions so slow? Is this all there is to snow leopards are capable of?"

Seeing the other snow leopard, Ling Xiaozhe, dart into its enclosure without looking back and disappear, the family of three laughed even harder, their voices sounding particularly jarring in the empty corridor.

"That's such a coward! Haha!"

Inside the internal passageway.

The kindergarten director, Chen Nian, veterinarian Liu, and all the staff who witnessed everything changed their expressions instantly!

"How dare they!!"

(It walks towards you bathed in light, whispering in your ear: Where's the monthly pass, darling?)
