Chapter 56

Shi Wen hesitation, Shi Wen turned and ran away from the crowd.

Although he might be able to dodge the bear's paw attack with his reaction speed, he would never want to try it now.

The brown bear roared and charged toward him, its anger practically burning.

Zhou Hongzhong panicked, picked up his gun, and wanted to shoot the brown bear.

But the brown bear was running too fast and was heading in the direction of Shi Wen, so Zhou Hongzhong was afraid of accidentally injuring it.

He hesitated, not daring to fire, and could only shout to Shi Wen, "Hold on for ten seconds! The anesthetic will take effect soon!"

Shi Wen rushed over and replied, "I know, don't worry!"

The brown bear chased after Shi Wen could practically smell its terrifying odor.

Fortunately, ten seconds passed quickly. The brown bear's running steps became unsteady, and its body swayed. Finally, with a thud, it collapsed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

After it collapsed, it scratched its paws a couple of times, but it was too weak and could only reluctantly faint.

Shi Wen hearing the sound of the brown bear falling to the ground, but they didn't stop running. They ran until they were several hundred meters away from the brown bear, then they supported themselves on their knees and waited for Zhou Hongzhong and the others to come and join them.

Everyone gathered together, looking at the motionless brown bear in the distance, still feeling lingering fear.

Zhou Hongzhong: "Fortunately, it hasn't run into the herders' homes yet."

Shi Wen, panting, said, "Yes, otherwise someone would definitely get hurt."

After resting for a while, Zhou Hongzhong called someone over.

They had to move the anesthetized brown bear away.

Shi Wen people asking, "What will happen to this brown bear? Where will it eventually be sent?"

Zhou Hongzhong hung up the phone, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm not sure, maybe we should send it to a zoo."

All eyes were on the person in charge of the N City Zoo.

The person in charge gave an awkward smile, "It probably won't be sent to us again, right? Our zoo's facilities are inadequate, and it escaped this time. What if it escapes again?"

Shi Wen, "Should we send it to another zoo? It didn't hurt anyone, and although it seems to have some hatred towards humans, it's a bit sad to just keep it locked up like this."

Zhou Hongzhong hesitated. "Shouldn't the higher-ups offer a better solution? Maybe they can release them in an uninhabited area?"

"Doesn't that mean we have to send it to a very far place?" Shi Wen sighed, looking at the brown bear in the distance. "But then again, it's already showing signs of hatred. Leaving it in a human-populated area is definitely not an option; it might hurt someone someday, which would be troublesome."

Protecting wild animals must be done on the premise that humans are protected; it is impossible to leave brown bears as a source of danger here.

Zhou Hongzhong said, "Let the higher-ups worry about it. I'll let you know when the results are in."

Chapter 56

In the evening, when Zhou Hongzhong took Shi Wen home, Yan Kexing was already home.

Deep in the grassland, the lights of this ranch came on, their glow reflecting off the newly risen stars in the night sky.

The aroma of food wafts from the house, drifting across the pasture, forming part of the warmth and life of everyday life.

Shi Wen got out of the car, exhausted, he smelled the scent of home and immediately felt relaxed, his expression brightening.

Seeing his expression, Zhou Hongzhong smiled and said, "Then I'll leave you here?"

Shi Wen waved and said, "Thank you, Captain Zhou. See you later."

After putting down Shi Wen, Zhou Hongzhong reversed and drove away.

Shi Wen, the family's little animals would rush out of the barn, jostling each other to greet him, whether they heard his voice or smelled his scent.

The sounds of "woof woof" and "howl" mingled together, along with the anxious little cries of the Langwa trying to outrun its older siblings.

Rushing to the fence, the dogs didn't even need to open the gate; they simply jumped out and nuzzled their fluffy heads into Shi Wen's arms, whimpering.

Shi Wen took turns hugging the heads of the dogs and Hu Zai, patting one after another, saying, "Let's go back."

The dogs and two Hu Zai then escorted him home, each of them wagging their tails like whirlwinds.

Shi Wen entered the house, Yan Kexing was standing at the door waiting for him, scrutinizing his expression. "Didn't things go well today?"

"Actually, it went quite smoothly." Shi Wen gently hugged Yan Kexing, inhaling his delicate fragrance, and said, "The brown bear has been captured."

Yan Kexing gently pressed his temples. "Then why do you still look so exhausted?"

Shi Wen, "Maybe it's because I walked too much today."

"With your stamina, these few dozen kilometers shouldn't have made you feel tired." Yan Kexing patted his shoulder. "What's wrong?"

"I just feel so tired," Shi Wen sighed. "I feel really bad for that brown bear."

Shi Wen told Yan Kexing about the brown bear's fate, "It might be sent to a zoo, but it's clearly a brown bear that hates being kept in captivity."

Yan Kexing understood. "It's not that bad; maybe it just needs some time to adjust."

"I hope so." Shi Wen shook his head, not wanting to discuss the topic further. "Let's eat first. It's so great to have you here; I get a hot meal as soon as I get home."

Yan Kexing: "Don't you sometimes cook too?"

When Yan Kexing busy, Shi Wen would indeed try her best to cook according to the recipes, even if it was just home-style cooking. Yan Kexing never skimped on this aspect.

Hearing Yan Kexing mention it, Shi Wen somewhat embarrassedly, "I have much to learn from you."

After dinner, the two went back to their respective rooms.

Shi Wen finished washing up and lay in bed, wrapped in the quilt, about to drift off to sleep, when she heard low voices coming from Yan Kexing's side of the wall. He seemed to be on the phone with someone.

Shi Wen instinctively wanted to hear the details, but I was too sleepy and fell into a deep sleep after only two minutes.

The next morning, Shi Wen got up yawning and stepped out of his room, only to Yan Kexing.

After a night's rest, Shi Wen was fully recovered. Upon seeing Yan Kexing, he ran up to him and Yan Kexing shoulder to shoulder. "I heard you on the phone yesterday. Who were you talking to?"
