There's a chat group for pets in my neighborhood.

After so many busy days, we've finally made some progress.

Lu Fang's spirits lifted; he had been paying close attention to this matter.

The group members were already arguing fiercely at this point.

The guy with legs 1.8 meters long was the first to jump out: "They really found it?! Those damn dog thieves, daring to touch the dogs in our Tiancheng community! Brothers, this time we're definitely going to make Tiancheng community infamous and make these dog thieves never dare to covet our dogs again! I'm going to steal my mom's frying pan right now and smash their place up!"

I have a renovation plan: "How can this kind of thing be left out of my hands? There's no door I can't take down. I'll give them a completely new renovation plan."

Everyone was talking at once, all wanting to sign up.

Just as these hot-blooded little guys were about to stage a "Where Are the Cute Pets Going? A Plan to Suicide" scenario, Lu Fang was about to type a message to dissuade them when the sheriff spoke first.

Sheriff: "Calm down, everyone!"

It usually commands a high level of respect in the group, and as soon as it uttered those words, everyone immediately quieted down.

Sheriff: "This is no child's play. They're well-trained dog thieves, armed with tranquilizer darts, iron bars, and lassos. You guys just rush over there recklessly? They're going to have a dog meat feast today. Are you going to save people or go to your deaths?"

Lu Fang nodded in response to the sheriff's words.

There are still some clever cats in the group.

"But what do we do?" the 1.8-meter-tall boy asked timidly.

Sheriff: "@SparrowKnow-It-All, Sparrow Bro, can you confirm the location?"

Sparrow Know-It-All: "I'm 90% sure that within the patrol area of ​​our flight team, there are about three places that match the clues Charlie provided. However, Charlie isn't fast, and the other two places are too far away. Only the old steel factory is the most likely match."

The sheriff pondered for a moment: "Here's what we'll do. Brother Que, you take the brothers from the flight team, split into two groups, and keep a close eye on the old steel factory's movements these next few days. Once a van or a truck leaves, you follow it from the air, leave marks along the way, and report the route in the group chat at any time."

Sparrow Inquiry: "Got it, we've got it covered!"

Sheriff: "@Grey Mouse, take the elite of your rat family and find out the internal structure of the steel mill. Locate all the ventilation openings and sewers. And most importantly, find a way to notify the animals inside, tell them we plan to rescue them, and also find out if Blackie is still inside. This is crucial."

Gray Mouse: "Reporting to the leader, the mission will be completed."

Sheriff: "@Tanuki, take a few of your most agile and cleverest cats and go scout around the factory. Find out how many humans they have, whether they have guard dogs, and what their daily routine is. Remember, you're only allowed to look, not touch!"

Surprisingly, Tanuki didn't speak in the group chat.

At this moment, a girl with legs 1.8 meters long timidly popped up: "I saw Brother Tanuki looking for a few female kittens in the neighborhood last night. They should still be sleeping right now."

Sheriff: "Never mind that, I'll inform them about it."

"You little brat," Lu Fang thought, taking a deep breath as he looked at the messages in the group chat.

You wait, I'll crack your egg sooner or later!

I was wondering why, after performing so many bomb disposal surgeries, I still couldn't control the stray cats in my neighborhood.

So you're the culprit, aren't you? Spreading your seed everywhere, partying every night!

After arranging everything in the group chat, the sheriff suddenly remembered something and tagged Lu Fang in the group chat.

Sheriff: "@My God, this operation is very important. You're smart and resourceful. Could you come and help out in person? It would be a good opportunity for everyone to meet and get to know each other."

As Lu Fang, standing in the pet shop, looked at the line of text typed by the sheriff on the screen, a fine layer of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

What a joke! He's still keeping his disguise intact. In the group, he's a high-IQ Border Collie who's keeping his abilities hidden. If he had actually agreed to go through with it, and now that a real person has shown up, wouldn't he have been completely exposed?

Lu Fang's mind raced. After a moment's thought, he typed a reply: "Chief, it's been really unlucky these past few days. I got into trouble and my parents sent me to the countryside. We can't get out."

To be honest, as Lu Fang's status in the group has risen, everyone is actually looking forward to officially meeting him.

Upon seeing this news, everyone inevitably felt a little disappointed.

But dismantling the slaughterhouse was a serious matter, and Lu Fang couldn't just let a bunch of kids run wild. He changed the subject and immediately sent another message: "By the way, how about I have that veterinarian go and call the police?"

Sheriff, Brother Tanuki: "No way!"

"Why such a strong reaction? Wouldn't it be better and safer to have human police officers help?" Lu Fang asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Similar things have happened before. People called the police then, but the dog thieves brutally killed all the stolen dogs before the police arrived. We're going to save the black-skinned athlete, not kill him!"

"Alright then, but don't worry, even though I can't go, I can try to get that veterinarian to go."

The sheriff's eyes narrowed slightly: "A veterinarian? It's not appropriate with humans around."

Lu Fang advised, "Think about it, that's a slaughterhouse. There must be many brothers there who are seriously injured. Even if we rescue them, without human medicine, they won't survive. That veterinarian is highly skilled; he cured Charlie's leg. Besides, he's human, and humans are most effective against humans!"

"In addition, I hope @GreyMouse can contact some pets and record their appearance and the neighborhoods they live in; it might be useful."

The group chat was quiet for a moment.

The sheriff on the other end of the screen looked at the long message Lu Fang sent and nodded thoughtfully.

Sheriff: "You're right. Our animal strength is ultimately limited. If a reliable human doctor were involved, our chances of winning would be much greater. It's settled then. You're in charge of contacting that human doctor and being on standby. @Grey Mouse, listen to him. Everyone else, move out immediately!"

With the sheriff's order, the "land, sea, and air" integrated reconnaissance team of Tiancheng Community quietly and quickly began to operate.

Seeing that the kids in the group weren't discussing a direct confrontation, Lu Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter cannot be rushed; we must wait for their investigation results before proceeding with the next step.

The most important thing next is to strike while the iron is hot and finalize the deal with Ark Selection.

He turned off his phone and looked at Qin Zhuyan and Xu Yi in front of him: "Sister Qin, could you please order a sign for Fangzhou Yanxuan? In addition to the large sign, you could also make some small stickers so we can stick them on the outer packaging of our pet snacks to create a brand memory point."

"Xiaoyi, aren't you in a lot of groups? We'll be organizing a small event for Ark Selection, and we'll be relying on you for the promotion."

"It's nothing!" Xu Yi patted her chest, making a loud thud.

Looking at the two energetic people in front of her, Qin Zhuyan chuckled: "Alright, alright, to commemorate the founding of Fangzhou Yanxuan, I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."

Upon hearing that there would be a big meal, Xu Yi's eyes immediately lit up:

"Long live Sister Qin!"
