Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

The three of them immediately picked up their backpacks and followed closely behind Tang Li. They walked out of the back gate of the zoo and followed the fresh tiger paw prints on the snow, step by step, into the depths of the forest.

The four of them trudged through the snow, which was ankle-deep, and each step required considerable effort.

A cold wind howled through the forest, whipping up snowflakes that stung my face slightly.

Tang Li walked at the front, her eyes fixed on the tiger paw prints on the ground.

Suddenly, she noticed the paw prints in the snow abruptly stop. Her heart tightened, and she immediately turned back to warn the three people behind her: "Don't move! Stay where you are! Be careful, our secure jobs are probably all around us!"

"Ah!" The three of them were overjoyed instantly, their eyes widening. They immediately stood still, looking around frantically, eager to find Wang Yuyu's figure.

But after looking around for a long time, they couldn't see a single tiger hair, only bare trees and vast expanses of white snow.

Tang Li nervously looked around, then raised her voice and shouted into the woods, "Iron Rice Bowl, stop hiding! Come out, I can see you!"

"Come out now, your tail's already showing!"

"With your size, you can't hide anywhere. How could I not see you?"

"A secure job... a secure job..."

She called out again and again, but only her echo drifted through the silent forest; there was no other sound.

Left with no other option, Tang Li resorted to her trump card, lowering her voice to ask, "Uncle Ji, can you see the iron rice bowl over there? Where is he hiding it?"

In the security room at the back gate of the zoo, Ji Yongjun stared at the computer screen in front of him, glanced at Wang Yuyu's location signal, and replied, "Xiao Tang, the 'iron rice bowl' is about 50 meters to your northeast, behind a big rock. Look over there!"

Upon hearing the voice from her earpiece, Tang Li immediately turned to look at the large rock in the northeast, a smile playing on her lips, and called out in the direction of the rock:

"Stable job, stop hiding! I see you, aren't you hiding behind that rock?"

"Stop hiding, I've spotted you! Come out now, you can't hide anymore!"

After calling for a while without any response, she turned around and said to the three of them with a serious expression, "You all stand here and do not move!"

"The guy with the iron rice bowl is probably too scared to come out because he saw three strangers like you."

"I'll go call him. You all stay here and wait for me, understand?"

"Don't worry, Sister Tang! We promise to stand here and not move!" Song Maodian, the top contributor, patted his chest and nodded emphatically.

"Yes, yes, yes! We'll definitely listen and won't move!" Chen Shitao, the second-ranked girl, hurriedly chimed in, her palms sweating with nervousness, but she still stared intently at the direction of the big rock.

"Don't worry, we know what's important and won't cause you any trouble!" The third brother, Cai Anzhi, nodded firmly, gripping the backpack strap tightly.

"Remember, don't move around or run around! If you jeopardize your job security, I might not be able to protect you!"

Tang Li emphasized it again seriously before turning around and carefully walking towards the large rock in the distance.

But when she walked quickly behind the large blue stone, she froze.

There was nothing behind the rock; Wang Yuyu was nowhere to be seen. Only a small ball lay alone in the snow.

"Oh no!" Tang Li picked up the small ball and examined it carefully. She instantly realized what was happening and said urgently, "Uncle Ji, we've been tricked! There's only this small ball he left behind, no sign of him at all. The location signal was left behind on purpose. You need to find him quickly..."

"Ah!" Before Tang Li could finish speaking, three fans suddenly screamed in terror behind her, their voices filled with despair.

"Sister Tang! Help!"

"Sister Tang, come back quickly!"

Tang Li's heart skipped a beat, and she turned around abruptly. She saw Wang Yuyu slowly walking out of the dense forest not far from the three of them.

His limbs were tense, his body low, and he assumed a standard fighting stance. His golden fur stood out against the white snow, and he bared his white fangs. A low growl came from his throat as he approached the three people who were frozen in fear step by step. He exuded the majesty of a top predator, and the aura of a mountain lord was on full display.

The three fans were so frightened that they sat down on the snow, their legs too weak to stand.

They stared in terror at Wang Yuyu, who was closing in step by step, while they scrambled back on the snow, their clothes and hair covered in snow, but they dared not stop, wanting only to get as far away from this terrifying tiger as possible.

"A secure job!" Tang Li shouted anxiously, her voice sharp and startling several birds in the woods, which fluttered up and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.

"Stop! They're not bad people! I brought them here!"

She shouted as she hurriedly ran back.

However, the snow in the forest was too deep, and with each step they took they sank in half, making it impossible to pick up speed. They could only watch helplessly as Wang Yuyu got closer and closer to the three of them.

Upon hearing Tang Li's voice, Wang Yuyu stopped in her tracks.

He rolled his eyes dramatically, his ears drooping impatiently, and he thought to himself with a helpless sigh, "How boring! I finally wanted to play with you guys for a while, and you interrupted me like this?"

"Can't I even have some fun? It's rare to find something to do!"

Despite his complaints, he obediently abandoned his fighting stance, slowly lay down on the snow, propped his head up, and watched with interest as the three fans, with their backs to him, crawled towards Tang Li on their hands and feet.

The three climbed with extra effort, their faces flushed, their buttocks sticking up high, their hands and feet moving in turns as they strained forward, muttering under their breath, "Hurry up" and "Don't block me," afraid of falling behind and becoming the tiger's "snack."

Looking at their disheveled and comical appearance, Wang Yuyu couldn't help but grin, revealing her snow-white sharp teeth, and laughed heartily, her tail sweeping back and forth on the snow with great enjoyment.

When he saw someone climbing slowly, he let out a low growl to scare them into climbing faster!

On the other side, Tang Li watched Wang Yuyu's smug, almost goofy, expression, feeling both angry and amused. A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips, but she deliberately kept a straight face, inwardly cursing:

"That damn Tiger! I clearly told him beforehand that I would bring three people to help, and this bastard deliberately hid to scare us! Just wait until I get my hands on him!"

She hurried over through the snow, and when she reached the three of them, she almost couldn't help but laugh at their comical appearance: their hair was disheveled, their faces were full of fear, and they were covered in snowflakes.

She suppressed a laugh, her face stern, and reached out to help the three of them up from the snow one by one, reassuring them gently, "It's alright, it's alright, don't be afraid! I'm here, he won't dare come any closer!"

"It's safe now, it's safe now, he was just teasing you!"
