Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

As night fell, the cold wind in the mountains grew even more biting, howling against the tent.

Inside the tent, Fan Zhengcheng sat in his sleeping bag, holding a survey report compiled by his team during the day. His brow furrowed, he sighed softly, "Sigh!"

He casually tossed the report aside, shrank into his sleeping bag, his brow furrowed, too lazy to look at it again.

After a day of comprehensive searching, it has been confirmed that the poachers have escaped!

They had already run away before they arrived!

As for whether the poachers received inside information and fled in advance, Fan Zhengcheng cannot be sure at the moment. He can only find the answer by conducting a secret investigation after returning.

However, he was still 90% convinced that there must be an insider secretly assisting the poachers, otherwise things wouldn't be so coincidental!

Based on all the intelligence gathered today, it is clear that these poachers did not blindly enter the mountains to search, but rather came prepared and were waiting for their prey.

All the traps they laid were meticulously arranged, precisely positioned along Wang Yuyu's likely routes, waiting for him to walk right into their trap.

Fan Zhengcheng felt a surge of relief when he thought of Wang Yuyu.

Fortunately, Wang Yuyu was extremely vigilant and ran away as soon as he discovered the trap, without going any further.

Otherwise, there is a very high chance that Wang Yuyu will be captured alive.

However, amidst his relief, a question lingered more and more clearly in his mind, refusing to dissipate.

How did these poachers know that Wang Yuyu would come here?

If the poachers set the traps on Wang Yuyu's own territory, then everything makes sense!

After all, the extent of Wang Yuyu's territory is hardly a secret.

He frequently appears near the zoo, and anyone with a discerning eye can easily deduce that his territory is located around the zoo.

In addition, he would occasionally show up in villages near his territory, and many villagers had seen him and even filmed him and uploaded the videos to various online platforms, resulting in a wide reach.

Anyone who is interested can easily deduce the location of his territory and the approximate range of his activities by collecting and organizing these scattered pieces of information.

The problem is that the poachers' traps were not set on Wang Yuyu's territory, but on his concubine's territory!

This is highly unusual, and there are very big problems hidden inside.

These poachers clearly knew that this was Wang Yuyu's wife's territory, and that Wang Yuyu would be coming here to see her sometime during this period!

Not many people know about these two pieces of information!

Aside from the research team at the research base specifically responsible for studying Wang Yuyu, the only other person who knew about this was Tang Li!

Even Tang Li only knew that Wang Yuyu had a wife here and knew the general location of the territory, but she had no idea when Wang Yuyu would come to visit his wife.

The research base has always kept Wang Yuyu's precise whereabouts information highly confidential.

Even he, the head of the forest police, before going to the research base to understand the situation, always thought that Wang Yuyu would be attacked in his own territory, and never thought that the poachers would set a trap in his concubine's territory.

Moreover, everyone can see how much Tang Li likes Wang Yuyu.

She even paid out of her own pocket to give Wang Yu extra meals, feeding him all sorts of good things!

She didn't need to invite poachers to arrest Wang Yuyu!

Wang Yuyu was arrested, and she will never see him again!

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to her.

If Tang Li is ruled out, then suspicion can only fall on the people at the research base.

Thinking of this, Fan Zhengcheng suddenly sat up in his sleeping bag, muttering to himself, "If that's really the case, then there's a huge problem!"

There are too many people in the research base. If there is a mole among them, it will not be easy to investigate.

The mole is lurking in the shadows, possessing information about Wang Yuyu. If he is not found soon, Wang Yuyu will remain in danger, and could be targeted and captured by poachers at any time.

If those poachers are so desperate that they can't catch Wang Yuyu for a long time, and instead set their sights on Wang Yuyu's cubs, then the problem will be even bigger!

They are in the open, the poachers are in the shadows, and there are even traitors tipping them off. No matter how strict the precautions are, there will always be loopholes and flaws.

Besides, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?

If this continues, problems will inevitably arise sooner or later.

Fan Zhengcheng sighed heavily, lay back down in his sleeping bag, closed his eyes, and muttered to himself, "I hope I'm wrong, that there's no mole, and that it's all just a coincidence..."

But his restless heart betrayed him!

Once some ideas take root in your mind, they are hard to take back!

…………

A few days later!

On the hill behind the zoo, a burly figure slowly emerged.

A tiger's head covered with black horizontal stripes was the first to emerge from the ridge, its amber eyes shining brightly as it stared intently at the well-arranged zoo buildings below.

Then, its massive body slowly stood up, its fluffy fur still covered with unmelted snowflakes, displaying the majesty of the Tiger King.

After several days of travel, Wang Yuyu finally arrived at the zoo.

Looking at the familiar scenery below the mountain, the fatigue that had been building up for many days instantly dissipated.

He excitedly raised his head and let out a roar that shook the mountains and forests: "Roar~"

The roar was loud and clear, carrying joy and urgency, echoing through the valley, as if proclaiming: "Tang Li, I have arrived!"

These past few days of traveling have been sheer torture.

They endured wind and rain, sleeping in the open, barely eating or sleeping, and constantly on guard against poachers, never finding a moment of peace.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuyu's joy was mixed with anger, and her resentment towards those poachers deepened.

If it weren't for those damned poachers, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state!

After venting his emotions, Wang Yuyu could no longer hold back. He pushed off the ground with his hind legs, leaped up, and charged down the mountain, staging a true "tiger descending the mountain."

He stomped through the thick snow, sending it flying and leaving a spectacular snow dust storm behind him, like a white tail, as he sped toward the zoo.

At this moment, Tang Li had already received a phone call from Ji Yongjun at the zoo.

Over the phone, Ji Yongjun told her that Wang Yuyu would most likely arrive at the zoo today, and that she should prepare in advance.

When Wang Yu arrives, carefully examine his body to see if he is injured.

At the same time, Ji Yongjun also told Wang Yuyu in detail about the poachers who were targeting her.

Upon hearing that Wang Yuyu had encountered poachers again, Tang Li panicked instantly. Her heart leaped into her throat, and she bombarded the other end of the phone with questions, asking if Wang Yuyu was injured and if the poachers had caught up with him...
