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

Upon hearing the question from the law enforcement officers, Qin Zhuyan was about to step forward when Lu Fang pulled her behind him.

"I am the manager of this pet store."

The law enforcement officer glanced at him, then began instructing his men: "Go check on that husky."

"Go and seal and sample that barrel of freeze-dried goods involved in the incident. You're the store manager, right? Please provide the inventory records and quarantine and inspection certificates for this batch of goods."

"It's all over, daughter! How could you do this just to make money?" Qin Zhiqiang feigned tears, "I've always advised you to be honest in business, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, you're going to jail!"

Qin Zhuyan looked at Lu Fang worriedly, and when she heard Qin Zhiqiang fanning the flames from the side, she immediately glared at him angrily: "Shut up!"

Qin Sheng, not to be outdone, retorted, "Chief, I've suspected something's off about them for a while now. This has nothing to do with us; it was all that guy surnamed Lu's doing. Can I identify them now? If I remember correctly, what's that called in the TV series? It's called a tainted witness!"

"The matter hasn't been settled yet, what's the rush?" Lu Fang coldly looked at the few clowns in front of him: "Hello, these are our inventory records and quarantine and inspection certificates."

"We can't draw any conclusions until the test results are in," he said softly. "If I remember correctly, it will take at least three days to get the results from the testing center, right?"

The law enforcement officer looked up at him and was surprised to find that the young man was quite familiar with their procedures.

"That's exactly how it should have been." The law enforcement officer glanced at Cui Ding. "When we received the report, our department happened to have a batch of rapid testing kits, so we just brought them along."

"So there's no need to send it to the testing center; we can do a rapid test here."

Upon hearing this, Cui Ding, who was standing to the side, was overjoyed.

This was, of course, his arrangement.

He'd love for Nihao Pet Shop and Lu Fang to die right now, how could he possibly make him wait two more days?

He even bought these test strips at his own expense, just to completely shut down Lu Fang in front of so many customers!

"Then we'll begin the testing." The law enforcement officer put a few freeze-dried grains in a sterile bag, took out a rapid test kit he carried with him, and handed it over.

Qin Zhuyan involuntarily held her breath.

The same applies to Qin Zhiqiang and Qin Sheng.

However, after a dozen seconds, the color on the test strip did not change at all.

Cui Ding's smile immediately froze, and he took two steps closer in disbelief: "This is impossible."

"Is there something else wrong? Should we try again?" Qin Zhiqiang suggested, still somewhat unwilling to give up.

The law enforcement officers repeated the operation several times, but the color still did not change.

Now it was Qin Sheng's turn to be dumbfounded.

"This freeze-dried food is fine; all indicators are normal in rapid testing." The law enforcement officer turned to Cui Ding, giving him a suspicious look: "Didn't you say it was highly toxic?"

"Impossible! It must be poisonous!" Cui Ding couldn't understand what it was either. He stared at Qin Zhiqiang beside him, his face full of confusion.

"This shouldn't be happening," Qin Zhiqiang muttered to himself.

He watched as the toxic freeze-dried food was put in, and the dog also got sick from eating it, so how could it not be toxic?

Just when everyone was puzzled, the husky, which had been lying on the ground on the verge of death, suddenly sprang to its feet.

It seemed perfectly fine, and even shook its fur before swaggering over to Lu Fang and affectionately rubbing against his trouser leg.

"This..." Cui Ding and the Qin family father and son were completely dumbfounded.

"Good son, are you alright?" Jiang Feng chuckled and came over, squatting down next to me with a renovation plan, rubbing its head: "So you were playing dead with me? We often do this at home, but you can't do it like that outside, okay? What if you scare someone?"

Jiang Feng emphasized the last few words of his speech, clearly intending them for certain people to hear.

Only then did Cui Ding belatedly realize that he had been tricked!

The market supervision bureau officers finally understood, their faces instantly darkening. They turned to stare at Cui Ding: "Boss Cui, you can't do this! Filing a false report, maliciously competing and occupying public resources—you've got some nerve! Come back to the bureau with me and explain the situation."

"No, comrade, let me explain, this has nothing to do with me..." Cui Ding immediately panicked, but was taken away by two staff members.

As soon as the market bureau officials left, the air in the store seemed to freeze.

Qin Zhiqiang and Qin Sheng stood there dumbfounded, their backs instantly soaked with cold sweat.

"How could that be? I clearly..."

Lu Fang slowly stood up: "Clearly what? Clearly you put something there, right?"

He walked up to the two men, took out his phone, and showed them footage of the father and son furtively releasing poison into the freeze-drying barrels at 2:30 a.m. last night.

Under high-definition infrared recording, every word of their conversation and every action of theirs was recorded clearly.

"You really think I didn't do anything? I cleaned up that freeze-dried food at five in the morning. This barrel is newly opened by me, how could it be found to have a problem?" Lu Fang stared coldly at the two of them, the chill emanating from him making Qin Sheng's blood almost stop flowing.

Qin Zhuyan stared blankly at the scene. She never expected that Qin Zhiqiang and Qin Sheng would actually go to jail for her in order to seize the store!

"Qin Zhuyan, you little bitch, you dare to scam me!" Qin Zhiqiang could no longer hold back. The hard work of so many days and the embarrassment and anger after the matter was exposed made him completely lose his temper. He roared as if he was about to snatch Lu Fang's phone.

He had only taken two steps when I, who had been quietly squatting to the side, rushed up, roaring angrily and revealing my white teeth. It was clear that if Qin Zhiqiang dared to take another step forward, I would bite him.

Lu Fang calmly took out a stack of pre-printed documents from the drawer and slammed them on the table.

"Intentional poisoning, disrupting production and business operations, extortion—if this video gets into the hands of the police, you two will be in jail for at least three years working on sewing machines."

"Now, Zhuyan is giving you two choices."

"First, I'll call the police, and you'll all be going to jail."

"Second, sign this 'Declaration of Severing Family Ties and Economic Ties,' and put your fingerprints on it. From this day forward, you have absolutely no connection with Qin Zhuyan. This shop and not a single penny of hers are completely unrelated to you. Take your tattered bags and get out of Yanling City immediately!"
