Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Expose Them!

Xu Ying shouted to the uncle in the gray coat, “Uncle, I think your two sheep seem to be sick, how about I take a look for you?”

At this moment, the uncle in the gray coat, who was contemplating whether to immediately place an order, was brought back to reality by Xu Ying’s voice. He waved his hand towards Xu Ying, “Go ahead and take a look, sorry to trouble you. These two guys have been acting strange since they were found.”

Interrupted by Xu Ying, the uncle suddenly felt much calmer and couldn’t shake the feeling that something was a bit off.

Tian Lang noticed something awkward on the scene and averted his gaze, holding a brochure and explaining to the villagers about their excellent pest control solution.

Xu Ying approached the two scruffy sheep and began communicating with them, “Hello little ones, I’m a veterinarian.”

“You just said you were freezing all night and now you have diarrhea, is that right?”

The two sheep angrily looked in Tian Lang’s direction, and upon hearing Xu Ying’s words, they looked up in surprise.

This human could understand their bleats!

The two sheep nodded vigorously.

Xu Ying placed the pet carrier on the ground, took out a stethoscope, and examined the two sheep, asking if they had any other discomforts.

It wasn’t completely dark yet, and the big-eared hedgehog in the pet carrier was still sleeping soundly, feeling secure beside Xu Ying.

After a thorough examination, Xu Ying arrived at a diagnosis.

“It’s stomach upset due to chills. I’ll prescribe some medicine for you when I get back and ask Aunt Bao from the village to bring it over. Taking it for two or three days, and you won’t have diarrhea anymore.”

[Thank you, veterinarian, you’re so good!]

Having established initial trust with the two sheep, Xu Ying began asking them about how Tian Lang took them away.

Xu Ying whispered, “I just heard you say that the young guy in the blue vest deliberately took you away, right?”

[Yes! Our owner even thanked him!]

The two sheep nodded vigorously, snorting through their noses.

[Seeing this bad man still liked by so many in the village makes us sheep furious.]

Understanding sheep wasn’t enough; they needed evidence to prove that Tian Lang orchestrated everything.

Xu Ying gently prompted the sheep, “Can you tell me what happened that night the bad man took you and hid you?”

Sheep have an excellent memory compared to other animals. Xu Ying had read research reports showing sheep could remember at least fifty different faces, both of their kind and humans, and this memory could last for up to two years.

The two sheep pieced together what happened that night.

[Our owner, who is a carpenter, was home alone that night when a neighbor came by, saying the fence at their house was broken and asked the owner to go fix it.]

[As soon as the owner left, the bad man came and dragged us from the pen onto this van.]

Xu Ying glanced at the van plastered with Tai Lin Biological advertisements. Da Huyang Village was such a small place, using a strange vehicle would surely draw attention, so using a familiar van would go unnoticed.

[We weren’t on the van for long; he finished a cigarette, and we arrived at the place, the entire van stank of smoke and nearly suffocated us.]

The sheep vehemently added: [To get back at him, we peed and pooped inside the van, made his face turn green, and soon after, we stopped near some dry reeds, and he pushed us out.]

Xu Ying stifled a laugh; these two sheep were quite cunning.

Mentioning the reeds, in the desert such reeds naturally grew sparsely, only found near places with artificial irrigation systems where water accumulated.

According to her knowledge, not far from Da Huyang Village, there was an abandoned Karze well, where the reeds dried out from a lack of water.

[The bad man dragged us into the dry reeds and tied us up.]

The sheep looked disdainful: [He smoked a lot that night, suffocating us with secondhand smoke!]

Xu Ying raised an eyebrow in surprise, “You even know about secondhand smoke?”

[We overheard the word from the aunt. She would rant about how uncle smoked all the time, making the whole family inhale secondhand smoke and affecting their health.]

Xu Ying continued to ask, “Did he throw cigarette butts in the reed patch?”

Casual offenders usually leave traces behind at the scene, especially cigarette butts.

[Yes, almost caught fire!]

One sheep, marked by a scar on its left ear, turned to show Xu Ying the burn on its right haunch, [Look at the scorched hair on my right rump, caused by this guy.]

[To get back at him, we peed in his van again on the way back, this time especially aiming for the van’s crevices, so he surely couldn’t clean it completely!]

Xu Ying burst into laughter.

The van likely had a lasting urine odor, and near the dry reed patch, there would be signs of burns and cigarette butts.

Just as Xu Ying was pondering, her phone vibrated. Upon looking down, she saw Feng Yun had results concerning the verification of someone’s educational credentials.

Xu Ying smiled slightly, feeling fully confident now!

She was just about to reveal Tian Lang’s true colors, but unexpectedly, these characters from Tai Lin Biological dropped a “bombshell.”

Villagers were hesitantly contemplating, while Aunt Li and the uncle in the gray coat already showed signs of wavering.

Brother Deng, knowing villagers were tempted, shouted, “Only thirty slots available.”

At this moment, Tian Lang took another call, and after hanging up, he happily announced to the villagers, “For the first thirty to pay, Tai Lin Biological will deliver a basket of eggs and a can of oil every month! The eggs are from our boss’s farm, and the oil is freshly pressed peanut oil! Non-GMO!”

Monthly deliveries of eggs and oil perfectly appealed to the older people, snapping the tense cord of rationality in their minds.

Aunt Li immediately walked briskly to Brother Deng, pulling out her bank card from her tattered waist bag.

But before she could speak, a young girl squeezed through the crowd, cutting ahead of her.

The line cutter was none other than Xu Ying. She dramatically pulled a wrench from her toolbox and slapped it on Brother Deng’s desk, startling both Brother Deng and Tian Lang.

Aunt Li and the villagers queuing behind her became furious. “Rescue worker, you can’t just cut in line!”

“Everyone, hold on to your money first.”

Xu Ying switched to another chat log, “[Brother Deng, Mr. Deng Zhiqing, your National Agricultural and Forestry University credentials are fake. I contacted professors there, and no one heard of a student named Deng Zhiqing.]”

The villagers in line froze, Aunt Li’s eyes darting between Xu Ying and Deng Zhiqing, unsure whom to believe, yet quietly slipping her card back into her waist bag and clutching it.

Brother Deng and Tian Lang were stunned, not expecting this rescue worker from who knows where to be in contact with professors at the National Agricultural and Forestry University in the capital!
