Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

A young man in his early twenties was crying like a wronged child, and the surrounding villagers couldn't help but sigh, feeling a pang of pity.

Fan Zhengcheng could also see that Su Lao Er didn't really want to poach; he was just young and ignorant, driven by curiosity. But that was no excuse for him to break the law.

The tiger's roar echoed from the back mountain once more, filled with desperate rage. Fan Zhengcheng suppressed his anger and said sternly, "I'll settle your score with you later! For now, you should pray the tiger isn't injured, or you'll be in big trouble!"

He turned and walked to the side, took out his phone and quickly dialed Tang Li's number.

They didn't bring a tranquilizer gun, so in this situation, only Tang Li could communicate with Wang Yuyu. They had no choice but to ask her to come out of retirement.

Meanwhile, deep in the forest, in a dark, gaping pit, Wang Yu was frantically scratching at the pit walls.

Sharp claws dug deep scratches into the frozen ground, pulling out soil that kept falling down. But the pit walls were steep and slippery, and every time he climbed up a little, he would slide down the slope and fall flat on his back.

He looked up at the small patch of sky above, divided by branches and snow, and roared angrily, "Damn it! Which heartless bastard dug this hole? Don't they have any sense of public decency? Didn't they know to fill it in after digging it?"

"Fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations! Don't let me find out who did this, or I'll grind your bones to dust and dig up your ancestral graves!"

After his roar, only his heavy breathing remained in the pit.

Wang Yuyu paced anxiously at the bottom of the pit, its tail thrashing restlessly, sending snow flying everywhere: "Is anyone there?! Come and save me!"

As he shouted, his voice gradually turned into a sob, his rage transforming into helplessness: "Tang Li! Tang Li! Where are you? Come and save me!"

"If you don't come soon, your beloved little tiger will be taken away by poachers! You'll never see me again!"

"Tang Li... Tang Li..."

He never imagined that while he was peacefully patrolling his territory, walking along the ridge to the vicinity of a small village, looking for a stream in the ravine to drink some water, the snow under his feet suddenly collapsed, and the whole tiger fell into the deep pit with a "plop".

This completely terrified him. Recalling the fox that had been trapped in the wire snare before, he immediately concluded that this was a trap set by poachers, and that all these pits and snares were aimed at him!

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and all the tiger fur on his body stood on end.

Just then, the small ball that had fallen to the side slowly deformed, and six spider legs stretched out. The camera on top turned around, as if it were probing the situation at the bottom of the pit.

Wang Yuyu abruptly stopped, her eyes lighting up. She scrambled to the ball, nuzzled her head against the camera, and cried out in a desperate, pleading voice, "Help! Please help me!"

"There's a trap set by poachers here, I'm going to be caught!"

In the research facility, a researcher staring at the screen suddenly exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

He rushed to Ji Yongjun's office like a madman, forcefully pushing open the door: "Director! Something terrible has happened! Your secure job is in danger!"

"He fell into a huge pit dug by poachers and can't get out!"

"Holy crap!" Ji Yongjun jumped up from his chair in fright and hurriedly followed the researcher to the monitoring room to watch the footage transmitted back by the ball.

Upon seeing Wang Yuyu anxiously pacing around at the bottom of the pit, he immediately pulled out his phone and called Fan Zhengcheng, his voice urgent:

"Captain Fan! Your secure job has fallen into the poachers' trap!"

"He's near the hill behind the village. Take some men and go check it out! We absolutely cannot let the poachers catch him!"

Fan Zhengcheng had just hung up the phone with Tang Li when he received a call from Ji Yongjun. He quickly reassured him, "Director Ji, don't panic, I already know the situation!"

"This wasn't done by poachers; it was just some kid from the village messing around."

"I'll tell you the details after I get my job back. I've already organized the villagers, and we'll head into the mountains for the rescue immediately!"

"Alright, alright! Then I'll leave it to you! You must get that secure job out safely!" Ji Yongjun's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was slightly relieved, and his tone was full of entrustment.

After hanging up the phone, Fan Zhengcheng looked at the old village chief who was still cursing at Su Lao Er and hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt, "Old village chief, stop cursing! Saving the tiger is the priority!"

"Every minute the tiger remains trapped in the pit increases its danger; the sooner it's rescued, the less likely it is to be injured!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Saving the tiger is the priority!" The old village chief reacted instantly, immediately calmed down, and turned to look at the dozen or so fully armed villagers in front of him.

Each person held various tools such as hoes, ropes, and machetes.

The old village chief solemnly instructed, "Follow Captain Fan into the mountains and make sure you rescue the tiger safely!"

"Fill up that hole immediately after you rescue them, you hear me?"

"Understood!" the villagers responded in unison, their voices loud and clear.

Fan Zhengcheng added, "Old village chief, a young girl named Tang Li will be coming over later. She works at the zoo and is very close to this tiger."

"Once she arrives, please send someone to take her up the mountain as soon as possible. With her there, the rescue will go much more smoothly."

"Tang Li, right? I remember you!" The old village chief nodded emphatically, patting his chest to assure him, "As soon as she arrives, I'll immediately send two fast young men to escort her up!"

Fan Zhengcheng said no more, waving to the police officers and villagers who were with him: "Let's go! Go into the mountains for rescue!"

The group trudged through the thick snow, making their way quickly toward the direction from which the tiger's roar came.

Trapped at the bottom of the pit, Wang Yu shouted for a long time until his throat was dry and his head was spinning, but he received no response.

He lay deflated beside the ball, his round head resting on his paws, his amber eyes fixed on the rotating camera, muttering low growls and curses without ceasing:

"Damn poachers! Those despicable bastards!"

"Don't give me a chance, or I'll tear you all to shreds and feed you to the vultures, sending you all to meet the King of Hell!"

"Damn it, they don't know any manners at all!"

Even those who live in the mountains know that the area near water sources is a safe zone, and you can't make a move there!

"You guys are really something, digging pits and setting traps around here! You're worse than animals, you're infuriating!"

"..."

He grew angrier with each curse, digging deep furrows in the ground with his claws, splattering snow and mud everywhere: "You scum who dug this hole, I hope your sons are born without an anus!"

"No, scum like you don't deserve to have descendants. I wish you no offspring, that you'll get hit by a car, choke on your water, choke on your food, and die a horrible death!"
