"Uncle Yang, come and take a look!"

Li Shiwei played with the Labrador for a while, then turned around and called Officer Yang to take over.

After all, it's Uncle Yang himself who will be living with this dog in the future; no one else can make that decision for him.

"What's so interesting about it? I can't see it clearly anyway."

Officer Yang shook his head with a chuckle.

Despite saying that, he couldn't help but take two steps forward and walk over following Li Shiwei's voice.

As they approached, Li Shiwei took the initiative to lead him to the doghouse. Seeing the adorable Labrador staring intently at Officer Yang, she cheerfully took Officer Yang's hand and placed it on the dog's head.

"Woof~"

Although puzzled by the behavior of the two people in front of him, Labrador only let out a puzzled cry and did not dodge.

When Officer Yang's large hand landed on its head, it deliberately tilted its neck to let its head rest in the center of his palm, making it more comfortable for the stranger to touch it.

Its tail was wagging incessantly, as if to express its welcome.

"Let's buy it, Uncle Yang! This dog is so obedient and well-behaved! Look, it knows who's in charge; it keeps wagging its tail at you!"

Li Shiwei was extremely excited.

"Tsk!"

It was only then that Chen Rang realized that Li Shiwei was actually a dog-faction member.

To him, this Labrador was quite ordinary, and its training level wasn't as impressive as Dog Bro had described. But Li Shiwei took a liking to it at first sight, and was so excited that she wanted to buy it herself.

"Maybe we should just forget about it?"

Officer Yang hesitated for a moment, then released his grip and stood up. Wearing sunglasses, he forced a smile and said, "Given my situation, it's not convenient for me to keep a dog. And frankly, it's too expensive. Wouldn't it be better to use that money to give some benefits to my colleagues?"

"Oh! What did you say! The director has already agreed, what are you still hesitating about?"

Li Shiwei stomped her feet.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade one person, she turned to Chen Rang and gestured for him to help persuade him as well, since they had come all this way and shouldn't leave empty-handed.

"Hey! Little Chen, you're here so early!"

A man emerged from the farmhouse, wearing a brightly colored short-sleeved shirt and a large gold chain around his neck. He walked over in slippers, clattering along, and pulled out a cigarette to offer as he went outside.

"Chen Rang, aren't you going to help with the introductions?"

Chen Rang waved his hand to decline the cigarette offered and introduced the two parties frankly, "These two are Officer Yang and Officer Li from Crescent Lake Police Station. And this is the owner of this farm, Boss Huang, nicknamed Brother Dog."

"A yellow dog?"

Li Shiwei raised an eyebrow, surprised that someone would choose such a name.

"Haha... It's easier to raise a poor man with a humble name. That's how it was back then. Please don't mind, officers. Besides, a humble name gives people courage. Officers, please come visit me more often. I guarantee fair prices and good food and fun."

Dog Brother didn't dare let the police call him "Brother," and just greeted them with a smile.

Seeing that the two officers remained unmoved, he got straight to the point, pointing to the Labrador and saying, "You two officers have excellent taste! This dog is indeed a treasure I brought back from the guide dog training base in Dalian! Don't think I offered a high price; to be honest, ten thousand yuan is just my cost price. After all, the training cost for a qualified guide dog is at least two hundred thousand yuan, so you can imagine how difficult it is to sell it cheaply. I just wanted to make friends with you two officers, so I'm transferring it to you without making a penny. Hehe... Actually, I initially thought it would be best to give it to this officer, but I was afraid of being accused of bribery or something, right? So let's not say much more. How about we have dinner together later?"

After saying that, Brother Gou looked at Li Shiwei and the other woman with a cheerful smile, his attitude both warm and humble.

However, after hearing his words, both Li Shiwei and Officer Yang frowned.

Li Shiwei wanted to step forward again, but Officer Yang spoke first, saying, "No need for dinner! And this dog, ten thousand yuan is too much, we can't afford it. Let's leave it at that for today, sorry to bother you."

Without hesitation, Officer Yang turned and left, leaving Dog Brother stunned.

He glanced at Officer Yang's retreating figure, then at Li Shiwei who had also turned around, and Chen Rang who was forcing a smile with a helpless expression. For a moment, he didn't know how to persuade them to stay.

But he quickly shrugged, smiled, glanced down at the Labrador, and nonchalantly turned and went back into the house.

"I'm sorry! I really didn't expect the yellow dog to have this kind of purpose."

Chen Rang spoke with shame.

"Chen Rang! Don't overthink it, you haven't done anything wrong."

Officer Yang fumbled to close the car door, waving his hand with a smile and saying, "This has nothing to do with you! It's just that those of us in this line of work have to be extra cautious."

At this point, he added with a touch of seriousness, "And don't think it's inappropriate for me to turn against them so directly. In fact, the more you deal with these kinds of people, the more you'll know that you can't make any exceptions for them. Look at today, this is just the first sentence: 'I took in his dog, so I have to eat his food.' So, at the dinner table, when he toasts me, should I drink? If I don't, there's one result; if I do, guess what the third thing he'll say? So, from the very beginning, you can't give them any chance."

Then, Officer Yang said to Li Shiwei, "Shiwei, you must remember this. As a police officer, you shouldn't always worry about whether it's polite or not. Even if it's just resolving neighborhood disputes, you have to be firm and not give people a chance to reason with you or act on their conscience. Although this may sound harsh, and Old Xu and the others usually won't say it to you directly, as a veteran of the police station, I'm telling you this privately: as a police officer, you must never be polite to people!"

"I understand that!"

Li Shiwei pursed her lips, and while turning the car around, she said regretfully, "I just feel it's a pity. That dog was really nice. Look how obedient it was. It must have been so good for you to have it with you."

"We still can't take it! The nature of this matter changed the moment he said he wouldn't make a penny from this dog."

Officer Yang decisively interrupted Li Shiwei.

"or……"

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Chen Rang quickly said, "It's still early, why don't you come to my place for a while? Officer Yang, what do you think of cats? To be honest, I don't think you necessarily need a guide dog; after all, you're different from others, you don't just need someone to guide you, you need a companion! As a companion, I think cats are better than dogs in this respect, at least they're easier to take care of, aren't they?"

"cat?"

Officer Yang was taken aback.

"Chen Rang, stop messing around with those cats at your clinic! I get the feeling you'll say it to everyone you meet, trying every possible way to get people to keep cats!"

Li Shiwei looked speechless and gave Chen Rang a disdainful glare.

However, this topic brought the argument to an end.

Although I felt disappointed at not being able to buy that guide dog, since there was a trap behind the bait, I couldn't afford to fall for it. Only the sugar coating of a sugar-coated bullet works? That kind of wishful thinking only happens in TV dramas.

Officer Yang became interested when he learned that Chen Rang's clinic kept a lot of cats.

He inquired carefully and learned that among the cats in the clinic, apart from one that Chen Rang had adopted, the rest were abandoned cats that he had taken in. He immediately praised Chen Rang highly.

"What's so great about it! You have no idea how expensive these cats are! I've only done a rough estimate, and the food alone costs five or six hundred a month, and that's for relatively cheap cat food. Add to that the cost of cat litter, and future deworming and vaccinations, and on average, feeding them will cost you a thousand dollars a month. And that doesn't even include my personal labor costs; I spend a lot of time taking care of them every day."

Chen Rang sighed, finally finding someone willing to listen to his complaints.

To be honest, it's not that he's unwilling to adopt the cats at home, nor is it that he insists on giving them away!

As the number of cats in his house increased, his life became increasingly neglected! With so much time spent serving these darlings every day, the time he could dedicate to learning and improving himself, as well as caring for sick customers, naturally became less.

The clinic's business has been so-so these past few days, but what if one day there are more sick pets that need his care? How will he be able to keep up with all that?

Therefore, finding them a more loving owner is actually the best choice for them.

"Hiss... I see! Then let's go take a look. If any cat takes a liking to a blind person like me, I'm happy to help raise one."

Officer Yang stroked his chin and spoke with a smile.
