Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Pressure

“In my opinion, you should have thrown the child to distract the dog and then run away.”

When Bai Cuiying heard this, she furrowed her brows slightly and spoke up to defend the hostess, “Let’s not talk like this. Our lady of the house is an intellectual, that’s definitely not what she meant. She usually takes good care of me.”

Bai Cuiying’s defense of the hostess resulted in fewer criticisms from the passersby.

It wasn’t because her defense was effective, but because someone among the passersby reminded them not to criticize the hostess too harshly, as it would put this kind and loyal nanny in a difficult position, making her life even harder.

“Ah, good people get bullied. Serving these rich folks is really tough.”

“What’s the police doing? Why haven’t they shot the dog dead yet?”

“Is it really necessary to kill it? That seems too cruel. Can’t they use a tranquilizer gun?”

“You bleeding heart don’t know anything. Tranquilizer guns take time to work, and the exact time is uncertain. It depends on the dog’s size and health. While waiting for the tranquilizer to take effect, the dog can still be aggressive.”

“Right! What if the tranquilizer just agitates it more, and it bites Aunt Bai and the child? Moreover, a dog that bites indiscriminately should definitely be put down. We can’t let it be a threat to society.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Hurry! Shoot the dog dead now! Lives are at stake here!”

The onlookers kept demanding loudly, urging the police to quickly put down the vicious dog.

At this moment, Chen Su had already reported to his superior on site, suggesting that the nanny might have issues and requested that the superiors refrain from ordering the shooting of Hunting Wind for the time being.

However, it was clear that for Station Chief Wei, this request seemed absurd.

“The nanny has issues? Then show me the evidence.”

“Chen Su, you’re a core member of the team; you don’t need me to repeat the importance of evidence, do you?”

“Understand Beast Language? Don’t give me that. I know this animal rescuer is trending online right now, but can you present concrete evidence? Can her words even be considered evidence?”

“What if the injured victim has a problem because they weren’t sent to the hospital in time? Who will be responsible then?”

Station Chief Wei was quite frustrated. Why had Chen Su, an experienced colleague, started making judgments so recklessly?

He had heard about this animal rescuer proficient in Beast Language catching a spy, which was impressive and miraculous, but right now, the most appropriate and secure choice was to shoot the vicious dog and quickly get Bai Cuiying to the hospital.

They couldn’t afford to gamble.

Just then, Chen Su’s pocket rang with a quirky animated theme song ringtone, breaking the tense atmosphere: “Don’t look at me as just a sheep~”

Faced with the pressure and questioning from his superior, Chen Su had maintained his composure, but when he heard the ringtone from his pocket, his ears turned a bright red.

“What’s wrong with Kong Cheng? Already part of the team, yet still has such childish ringtones! What an embarrassment.”

Chen Su cleared his throat: “Station Chief Wei, I need to take an urgent call related to the case.”

He promptly took out Kong Cheng’s phone from his pocket and answered it.

After hearing Kong Cheng’s report from the other end, Chen Su quickly told Station Chief Wei, “Chief, there’s an issue with the nanny. She swapped Feng Yun’s child; the child in her arms is actually her own grandson!”

—”What?!”

Station Chief Wei had not expected the vicious dog injury case to take such a turn.

“Is this what that animal rescuer fluent in Beast Language told you?”

Chen Su quickly nodded, “Yes, she watched the on-site video and understood the Afghan Hound’s growls!”

“The nanny might have done something this morning that got exposed, discovered by Hunting Wind, leading him to bite her and keep surrounding her, preventing her from leaving.”

He deduced clearly, “This would provide a reasonable explanation for the sudden incident where the usually loyal Hunting Wind bit the nanny.”

Station Chief Wei was silent. If this matter involved another young life, the nature of the incident would change completely.

Previously, he didn’t believe anyone could communicate with animals, but as the station chief, who often liaises with the military in the Desert Area, he knew Xu Ying’s case of communicating with animals to catch spies had been authenticated by military authorities.

Chen Su noticed Station Chief Wei’s hesitation and seized the moment to persuade him, “Station Chief Wei, given what’s at stake, let’s wait for Xu Ying’s station chief to come over and communicate with the Afghan Hound!”

“Otherwise, we might lose our only lead.”

Having collaborated so many times, Chen Su had unwavering trust in Xu Ying’s words, and at this moment, he confidently told Station Chief Wei: “Chief, if this is just an ordinary dog attack, I’ll take full responsibility for the consequences!”

Station Chief Wei glanced at Chen Su’s determined face and finally made a decision. He instructed the officers beside him, “Hold the armed officers, for now, wait for Xu Ying to come and support.”

“Also, have Feng Yun and his wife confirm carefully if the child in Bai Cuiying’s arms is indeed theirs.”

Chen Su sighed in relief. Just as he was about to share this good news with Xu Ying, asking her to rest assured, he heard Station Chief Wei comment meaningfully, “Seems like you’re fully convinced of that young woman’s words, willing to back it up with such assurances, even risking losing your badge.”

Chen Su’s long, narrow phoenix eyes widened a bit, he only replied, “This comes from absolute trust in my partner.”

Station Chief Wei snorted coldly, “Only known each other for a few months, yet you’ve already recognized her as your partner, with absolute trust, no less.”

Hearing this, a hint of redness appeared at the tips of Chen Su’s ears, but instead of directly responding to Station Chief Wei’s remark, he simply said, “I’ll return to the scene first, then communicate with Feng Yun and his wife.”

With that said, he took long strides away from Station Chief Wei’s view.

“They want us to confirm if the child in Aunt Bai’s arms is our biological son?”

Feng Yun and his wife were pulled aside by the officers to confirm the identity of the child in Aunt Bai’s arms. They were very surprised, “The child Aunt Bai is holding now is, of course, our biological child. He’s already five months old, how could we be mistaken?”

The couple had repeatedly checked many times.

Feng Yun took out his phone album to show the officers, “The child the nanny is holding is indeed ours. We have photos of the child from birth until now, how could we be mistaken?”

Feng Yun’s wife, Hao Menghan, the Afghan Hound’s owner, furrowed her brows slightly when she heard the officer’s words.

She felt that this child usually didn’t seem close to her at all. After all, he was the flesh that came out of her womb, sharing the same blood, yet there was always a sense of alienation. This child, however, was very close to Aunt Bai.

She always thought it was because she was a new mom, clueless, while Aunt Bai was experienced and had her way of taking care of children, so she even raised Aunt Bai’s salary.

Now, hearing the officer’s words, her mind opened up, and her expression turned grave.
