Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Wang Yu followed behind his concubine, watching her energetic and spirited demeanor. His pace gradually slowed down, and a sense of doubt suddenly arose in his heart. He belatedly realized that something seemed amiss.

He muttered to himself: Wait a minute, aren't tigers solitary animals?

But why is it that when I offer help to my two wives, they don't refuse at all, but instead rely on me a lot?

This is too unscientific!

Could it be that Tang Li and her team simply didn't fully understand the tiger's habits?

They only saw the surface phenomenon and didn't see the tiger's inner nature.

Or is it true that tigers are not absolutely solitary, and people have simply misunderstood them?

Wang Yuyu carefully recalled her life, and the image of her tiger father came to mind.

Back then, Tiger Dad would occasionally come to take care of Tiger Mom, along with him and his brothers and sisters, foraging for food and protecting her, never missing a moment.

And now, aren't I just like Tiger Dad, occasionally going over to take care of my wife and two cubs, helping them guard their territory and find food?

The more Wang Yuyu thought about it, the brighter her eyes became.

He thought of the tigers in the zoo. They lived together in the same enclosure, ate together, and sunbathed together, and they still got along peacefully without any violent conflicts.

Perhaps it's not that the tigers didn't show their ability to help each other and cooperate, but rather that the tigers were too strong!

As the top predator in the forest, a single tiger is enough to handle everything, from catching prey to protecting its territory. It doesn't need to cooperate or complement other tigers, so it rarely shows any cooperative side.

As the old saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female."

Perhaps the ancients had already seen through the tiger's habits.

True strength lies in not relying on others; one can handle everything on their own.

Having figured this out, Wang Yuyu's doubts vanished instantly, replaced by a surge of pride and self-satisfaction.

He involuntarily straightened his body, his chest puffed out, exuding a strong sense of majesty, and his steps became more steady and powerful!

They chased after the intruder from dawn till dusk, spending several hours on the move, but Wang Yuyu and his concubine still couldn't find him.

Left with no other choice, the two tigers stopped under a large, leafy tree and nestled together to rest.

Exhausted, the concubine rested her head gently on Wang Yuyu's chest and soon fell into a deep sleep, breathing evenly.

Wang Yuyu also closed her eyes and lay lazily on the ground, but still remained somewhat vigilant, her ears twitching slightly from time to time as she paid attention to the movements around her.

They slept soundly and comfortably in the woods, but none of the staff at the research base could calm down; everyone looked tense.

Early in the morning, the two tigers moved quickly, and soon the researchers on duty noticed the anomaly.

On the monitor screen, Wang Yuyu's figure was moving rapidly, his movements were chaotic and disorderly, completely unlike his usual leisurely patrol of the territory. He had no fixed route and did not take long breaks in the middle. Instead, he seemed to be in a hurry.

Upon realizing something was amiss, the researcher on duty immediately reported the situation to Ji Yongjun.

Ji Yongjun paid close attention to Wang Yuyu's movements. After all, the intelligent and perceptive Wang Yuyu was not only a key research subject of the base, but also a "star" of the entire reserve.

Upon receiving the report, he immediately convened experts at the base to urgently study Wang Yuyu's unusual trajectory.

Experts offered various opinions: some speculated that Wang Yuyu had discovered prey, others guessed that other wild beasts had appeared in his territory, and still others thought he was playing and frolicking with his concubine...

After much debate, no consensus was reached, and no evidence was available to support these speculations.

In the end, everyone could only agree that the staff on duty should continue to monitor the situation closely and report any new developments immediately.

Ji Yongjun stood in front of the monitor screen, watching Wang Yuyu's small dot still moving rapidly. He felt extremely frustrated, his brows furrowed, and he was filled with anxiety but also helpless. He could only continue to keep an eye on it, following the experts' advice.

Before long it was noon, several forest police officers came to the door, led by Fan Zhengcheng, an old acquaintance of Wang Yuyu.

Seeing Fan Zhengcheng's solemn expression, Ji Yongjun's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized that something serious had probably happened.

He quickly invited the person into his office, closed the door, and started talking!

What did you say? Say it again!

Ji Yongjun's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise!

Fan Zhengcheng's expression remained calm, though a hint of seriousness lingered in his eyes. He slowly spoke, "Poachers have their eyes on this secure job, and they've already entered the mountains."

"I only received the notification this morning!"

"They came into the mountains from elsewhere; they're not within my jurisdiction!"

"But according to the intelligence we have, they are heading in the direction of the 'iron rice bowl' (a metaphor for secure employment)."

"Based on their route and purpose, I judge that this group is most likely after a secure job."

"Ordinary tigers are not worth all this trouble, traveling hundreds of kilometers into the mountains and going to such great lengths."

"They're definitely after the bounty on the 'iron rice bowl' (guaranteed job) and might already be inside its territory."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yongjun was struck dumb. He instantly recalled Wang Yuyu's strange behavior earlier that day. His finger trembled as he raised it, pointing at Fan Zhengcheng, and roared furiously, "Why didn't you say so sooner! This is going to be a disaster!"

"Quick, come with me, I'll show you something!"

Ji Yongjun didn't have time to complain. He grabbed Fan Zhengcheng's hand and pulled him towards the monitoring hall.

Fan Zhengcheng stumbled as he was pulled along, his face full of confusion. He ran after him, anxiously asking, "What happened? Explain yourself! Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Don't ask, just go see for yourself!"

Ji Yongjun didn't turn his head, his tone was urgent, and his pace didn't slow down at all. He had only one thought in his mind: we must not let the poachers get their job.

The two rushed into the monitoring room. As soon as Ji Yongjun entered, he shouted at the researcher, "Quick! Pull up the activity trajectory of 'Iron Rice Bowl' today and put it on the big screen!"

The researcher immediately started working on the computer, his fingers flying across the keyboard. In just a few seconds, Wang Yuyu's real-time location and his complete activity trajectory from early morning to the present appeared clearly on the large screen.

Ji Yongjun pulled Fan Zhengcheng to stand in front of the large screen, pointed at the trajectory on the screen, and said anxiously, "Look! This is the activity trajectory of 'Iron Rice Bowl' today. He's not in his own territory at all, but deep in his mistress's domain!"
