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

Chapter 88 On the verge of collapse!

Liu Xiaoyu is a veteran caretaker at the rescue station.

They know every animal here like the lines on their own palm.

He has rescued countless animals!
When Lin Qidong conveyed Chen Nian's request to help her raise Wangcai, she almost immediately blurted out two words.

"No."

Her tone was resolute, carrying an undeniable weariness and vigilance.

Then, she raised her arm, which was wrapped in thick bandages and was now faintly bleeding from the edges, and showed it to Chen Nian.

A silent demonstration is more persuasive than any language.

The meaning is self-evident.

Wangcai is very fierce, his battle record is verifiable, strangers should not enter!

Having done all this, she turned to leave, swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Lin Qidong shrugged at Chen Nian, indicating that he could not help.

There was nothing he could do if the head zookeeper disagreed.

However, the moment Xiaoyu turned around, Chen Nian's gaze was fixed on the glaring crimson stain on her arm.

He spoke softly, his voice not loud, yet it clearly pierced through the air.

"You came back in such a hurry because you were worried about Wangcai, right?"

The wound had clearly not healed properly, and what made her rush back despite the doctor's orders, besides the heavy responsibility she felt, was her deep concern for that grumpy Pallas's cat.

"so what?"

Xiaoyu stopped in her tracks, turned around and glanced at Chen Nian, her tone unfriendly.

She mistook Chen Nian for a wealthy tourist who wanted to pay money to get close to nationally protected animals, completely disregarding the animals' safety—a clueless person!
There have been people like this before.

Because he was rich, he thought he could do whatever he wanted, which later led to animals being injured at the rescue station. So Xiaoyu had a very bad impression of this kind of person.

It could even be described as utterly disgusting!

"Oh dear!" Lin Qidong slapped his forehead, interrupting in annoyance:
"My bad, my bad, I forgot to introduce myself to you."

"Xiaoyu, this is feline expert, Teacher Chen Nian. You don't go online, so you don't know Teacher Chen. Teacher Chen is currently the most popular feline expert online. Some articles call him the number one cat appraiser on the entire internet. Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu were only brought back successfully thanks to Teacher Chen's help. He is truly skilled!"

"."

Chen Nian blushed, never expecting that Lin Qidong would see Xia Qiyue's article.

Even their nicknames have started circulating.

However, he nodded calmly, having successfully approached Wangcai.

“I do have some knowledge of felines. I wanted to observe Wangcai up close to check on its condition. Perhaps I could find a way to soothe it.”

Lin Qidong provided an assist from the sidelines.

"Teacher Chen could tell at a glance that Wangcai's hind leg injury hadn't fully healed, which was affecting its release!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu's expression improved considerably.

She had heard about Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu's situation even while she was at the hospital.

She gave Chen Nian an apologetic smile.

“I’m sorry, Professor Chen, I mistook you for one of those people.” Then, her gaze turned towards the direction of Wangcai’s isolation room, and her tone became serious again: “But since you are an expert, you must know better how aggressive Pallas’s cats are.”

"Even so, you still insist on going in?"

"Yes!" Chen Nian answered without the slightest hesitation, her gaze intense.

He didn't care who Xiaoyu was talking about; he was only concerned about Wangcai.

"Because I understand it, I'm more confident in reaching out to it. It desperately needs help right now, doesn't it? Otherwise, you wouldn't be here."

His gaze swept over her bleeding bandages again, the meaning of which was self-evident.

If Xiaoyu didn't deeply love these wild spirits, she wouldn't have rushed back to take care of Sun Wangcai, who had hurt her before, even though her wounds hadn't fully healed.

This professionalism is admirable.

Because of this, Chen Nian believed that Xiao Yu would agree to her request.

Both of them shared the same desire to help Wangcai!

Their eyes met in the air.

Finally, after catching something in Chen Nian's eyes, Xiao Yu relented.

"Then get ready and come in with me later. But I'm warning you upfront, I can't guarantee your safety. After all, you've seen it yourself, I can't even protect myself."

She glanced forlornly at her arm.

Anyone would feel disappointed if the Pallas's cat they had been caring for attacked them.

However, Xiaoyu quickly cheered up.

Since she chose to come here from a big city to rescue wild animals, she had already made all the necessary preparations!
This short-haired girl, seemingly delicate in appearance, hides an incredibly strong soul!
"Don't worry, I will be extremely careful."

Chen Nian nodded.

Xiaoyu nodded, said no more, and turned to prepare food for Wangcai.

Chen Nian and Lin Qidong returned to the team and found Lin Sen and Xia Qiyue to explain the situation.

"I have to stay here to take care of some things. I'll go back by myself later."

"Is it about Wangcai?"

Lin Sen guessed it immediately.

He had noticed Lin Qidong and Chen Nian whispering to each other long ago.

"Well, that's why I can't go back with you guys later."

Chen Nian briefly explained the situation.

Lin Sen nodded in understanding. "Okay, then we'll head out first. I'll talk to Brother Liang about this, and he should agree, as long as you can come back tonight, Teacher Chen."

"Don't worry, it won't delay tomorrow's progress."

Chen Nian assured him.

If all goes well, he should be able to go home tonight.

"Then there's no problem." Lin Qidong smiled. "It's a pity my combat ability is too poor, otherwise I really wanted to stay and lend you a hand!"

Chen Nian grinned and said, "It's okay, I'll pass on your feelings to Wangcai."

"Haha! Then I'll definitely have to leave it to you!"

This time, Chen Nian didn't even let Xia Qiyue stay.

He doesn't plan to broadcast the video of his encounter with the Pallas's rabbit; there's no need.

"Just go back and wait for my good news."

Seeing that Chen Nian was serious, Xia Qiyue was worried but didn't insist that she stay. She just patted Chen Nian on the shoulder and said, "Be careful!"

After saying that, she left the rescue station with the convoy.

Chen Nian followed Xiao Yu through a series of disinfection procedures before they walked together to Wangcai's feeding area.

On the way, Xiaoyu, wearing a mask, slowly recounted Wangcai's story.

“We were worried that Wangcai might get toxoplasmosis, so we always carefully processed his food. Fortunately, we have never had any problems.”

"But I could feel that Wangcai's mood was getting more and more irritable every day."

"If it stays any longer, its stress response will likely worsen until..."

"Completely out of control!"

Xiaoyu's anxiety was almost palpable in her voice.

Before reaching their destination, she stopped, turned around, and stared at Chen Nian with bright eyes: "Teacher Chen, if those special cat food and catnip you brought really work for Wangcai..."

"On behalf of Wangcai and our entire rescue station, I would like to express our deepest gratitude to you!"

Before coming in, Chen Nian introduced two of her belongings to Xiao Yu.

This is a prop that can be used to soothe Wangcai's emotions.

Specially formulated cat food and premium catnip to soothe feline emotions.

Xiaoyu checked it herself and there was nothing wrong.

The cat food is of extremely high quality and has an enticing aroma; the catnip is also top-grade, with a rich and pure scent and no abnormalities.

So Xiaoyu agreed.

After all, Wangcai's regular diet includes cat food.

Cat food can be guaranteed to be free of toxoplasmosis.

"Don't worry, I'm confident." Chen Nian looked at Xiao Yu, her eyes full of confidence.

"it is good."

Xiaoyu no longer hesitated. She took a deep breath, as if she had gathered enough courage, and gently turned the doorknob, pushed open the door to the isolation area, and walked in first with a food tray.

Chen Nian followed closely behind.

The two stepped into a relatively narrow transition corridor, where the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant and the distinctive scent of animals.

As you walk through the corridor, your view suddenly opens up, and the core area comes into view.

The grayish-yellow furry ball, Sun Wangcai, was curled up on a cold rock with its back to them, its body rising and falling slightly.

"Wangcai, your sister is here."

Xiaoyu softened her voice and called out as usual.

However, instead of the usual indifferent or wary growl, she was met with an extremely sharp, violent hiss!
ha--!
"careful!"

Chen Nian reacted quickly, pulling Xiao Yu back a step.

Sharp claws sliced ​​through the void with lightning speed!

"Are you alright?" Chen Nian asked quickly.

"It's nothing." Xiaoyu shook her head calmly: "Wangcai was just warning me. It wouldn't have caught me if I hadn't moved."

She tried to comfort herself with her past experiences.

"As long as Wangcai recognizes people, everything will be fine," Xiaoyu said casually.

However, she did not notice Chen Nian's solemn expression at that moment.

Hidden in the cat's ears, which were fully armed, Chen Nian heard an extremely strong desire to attack!
This is an indiscriminate attack!
Whether facing Xiaoyu or the stranger Chen Nian.

At this moment, Sun Wangcai is in extreme danger!

'It's on the verge of a breakdown, meow! We need to comfort it quickly, meow!'

A faint, anxious voice echoed in my mind.

Without further hesitation, Chen Nian stepped forward to shield Xiao Yu, and at the same time quickly sprinkled some catnip in front of him. After confirming that it covered the area around Wang Cai, he protected Xiao Yu and took a step back.

"Be careful, its condition is very unstable right now, it could attack at any moment!"

"How can it be"

Xiaoyu looked completely bewildered.

But when she peeked out and looked at Wangcai in front of her, she immediately covered her mouth tightly, a suppressed gasp escaping from her throat, her eyes instantly turning red!

The way Wangcai looked at this moment was exactly the same Wangcai she had first seen in the villager's dim woodshed that day, trapped in an animal trap, covered in blood, desperately and frantically attacking anyone who approached!

That wild spirit driven to the brink by pain, fear, and utter despair.
Appeared again!
