Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Fan Meetup

“Dismissed!”

As soon as Chief Qin finished speaking, the soldiers he brought with him quickly gathered in front of Xu Ying, and his secretary, taking advantage of his position, swiftly slipped in front of Xu Ying, almost startling her.

Both Chen Su and Ning Zexi were amazed at Little Xu Station Chief’s popularity.

Ning Zexi, filled with envy and jealousy, exclaimed, “Wow, Boss Xu’s fan base has even reached the special forces base. When will I ever achieve this kind of fame? Could a lightning bolt just hit me and suddenly make me fluent in Beast Language?”

Xia Man, amused by Ning Zexi’s expression, crossed her arms and said, “If that time ever comes, don’t you dare duck.”

Chen Su silently scanned the long line in front of Xu Ying. He simply found this group of young, handsome soldiers in their bright uniforms very eye-catching, all with their heads turned towards Xu Ying. Even his little apprentice, Kong Cheng, called him several times without him turning back.

The other soldiers, shocked after seeing Deputy Yang, the secretary of Chief Qin, take the lead, complained, “Deputy Yang, how could you do this!”

“Didn’t you say you weren’t a fan of Little Xu Station Chief? You’re such a liar.”

Deputy Yang gave a slight smile and didn’t pay any attention to his brothers behind him. Very politely, he said to Xu Ying in a gentle tone, “Little Xu Station Chief, it’s like this—due to work, I have long been unable to return home and can’t be there for my parents. Just as the rescue dog, Cangqiong, at the base retired, I applied to have Cangqiong sent to accompany my parents.”

As Deputy Yang spoke, he took out his phone to show Xu Ying a picture of the retired rescue dog Cangqiong—a golden retriever with its tongue out, looking energetic and lively.

“Rescue dogs are usually intelligent, kind, and helpful. I originally thought that Cangqiong being home could keep my parents company and give them some sense of security, but I didn’t expect that once Cangqiong got home, at the slightest disagreement, it would leap onto the dining table, sweeping all the dishes my parents were eating onto the floor.”

“The first time Cangqiong knocked the bowls over, we thought it was triggered by some stimulus. To our surprise, this wasn’t an isolated incident. Cangqiong knocks over bowls every few days, and in the two months it’s been home, it does it once a week. My parents are at their wit’s end and want to send Cangqiong away.”

Hearing Deputy Yang’s words, Xu Ying felt a sense of doubt within her heart and couldn’t suppress her curiosity. A golden retriever rescue dog, especially one trained by special forces, should be a gentle little angel. How could it suddenly become a plate-smashing dog after retiring?

Deputy Yang’s expression showed a trace of worry: “My parents can’t take it anymore and have been pressing me to send Cangqiong away recently.”

“Adopted retired dogs must have signed strict agreements, making it very troublesome to send them away, and we also have to be conscientious and responsible for them.”

Xu Ying understood upon hearing this. The dogs working within the system usually become available for public adoption after retirement to ensure they enjoy their twilight years. The adoption conditions are also very strict, requiring interviews, home visits, and training.

To adopt a police dog, you can directly contact the local police station, police dog training base, or check for adoption information on the police department’s official website. Animal protection organizations and related departments’ social media might also have related information.

Deputy Yang looked earnest as he said, “I feel Cangqiong behaved excellently at the base, so something must have gone wrong for it to behave suddenly like this at home, but I can’t figure out why. So I thought of inviting you to look at Cangqiong to identify the problem.”

Handing his phone to Xu Ying, Deputy Yang said, “My parents filmed a video of Cangqiong going crazy and smashing bowls. Little Xu Station Chief, can you help take a look?”

“If you can’t see the problem, I’ll video call my parents to bring Cangqiong in front of the camera.”

A long line still stood in queue, but upon hearing that Deputy Yang’s inquiry related to a retired rescue dog, they all patiently waited without further comments.

Aware that he had turned the fan meet into a kind of medical consultation, Deputy Yang felt a bit embarrassed: “Is this okay with you?”

Xu Ying took the phone, giving Deputy Yang a reassuring smile, “Of course.”

She was also very curious as to what difficulties this honorably retired rescue dog had encountered, and it would be great if she could help just by taking a look.

As Deputy Yang was speaking, Chen Su’s follower and apprentice, Kong Cheng, somehow found a folding chair and placed it behind Xu Ying: “Little Xu Station Chief, sit down. It’s tiring to stand so long among so many people. Someone who doesn’t know might think you’re being punished.”

Xu Ying quickly thanked him, “Brother Good Fortune, you’re quite thoughtful~”

Since Kong Cheng had an experience at the Fur Farm of having bird droppings showered on him due to being too impatient, he’s gained the nickname “Brother Good Fortune” at the police station.

Kong Cheng chuckled and loudly said, “It was Captain Chen who asked me to bring the chair. If you want to thank someone, thank Captain Chen!”

Xu Ying looked towards Chen Su, and as their eyes met, Chen Su quickly looked away, bending down to stroke the head of the German Shepherd at his feet, pretending to be very busy.

The German Shepherd, suddenly receiving affection from its aloof boss, remained still in fear, its eyes pitifully looking troubled as if being forced to perform.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ying remembered Chen Su saying that animals didn’t like him and kept their distance—turns out it was true as the police dog seemed scared into fluffiness. Xu Ying couldn’t help but smile.

Seeing Kong Cheng deliver a chair, Deputy Yang and the soldiers finally realized their oversight and quickly apologized: “Sorry, Little Xu Station Chief, we didn’t mean to have you stand. We just got a bit too excited.”

Xia Man, seeing this group of rough-and-ready guys, teased to lighten the mood, “You straight guys are really thoughtless.”

Xu Ying quickly replied, “It’s nothing! I know your circumstances make bringing things inconvenient.”

After sitting down, she opened the video on Deputy Yang’s phone. In the video, Deputy Yang’s mother, holding a phone, brought out two plates of food from the kitchen and placed them on the table. Cangqiong seemed to catch the scent, suddenly dashing out from the room, nimbly stepping on a chair and up to the table, pawing the two steaming hot plates of food onto the floor.

The sound of shattering dishes was harsh and genuinely frightening to watch.

Deputy Yang’s father seemed used to the dog’s “antics,” taking a broom to sweep up the broken dish pieces, looking resigned as he muttered, “Oh, what a waste!”

“Such a pity, all that food!”

Although not visible on camera, Deputy Yang’s mother spoke in a worried tone towards the phone, “Son, when can you find a way to send away this godly nuisance?”

“I don’t ask for this dog to protect us, just that it doesn’t cause us trouble.”
