Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Is There Really 500,000?

“My surname is Qin, just call me Uncle Qin.”

The man in tactical attire handed a very old-fashioned flip phone to Xu Ying, “Same goes for you, if you ever encounter danger, you can seek our help.”

This little girl among the rescuers is quite a rare talent.

The soldiers around the man were all wide-eyed with surprise when they heard him say this.

Chief Qin actually let this little girl, whom he just met, call him Uncle Qin. No one had ever seen this side of him.

He was like a different person from the Chief Qin who usually put them through hellish training!

Xu Ying, flattered, took the flip phone from Chief Qin: “Uncle Qin, I have one more piece of information to report!”

“There’s still one accomplice missing.”

Chief Qin frowned, immediately turned to his secretary, and said, “Go quickly and interrogate the four suspects in the vehicle.”

Then, he took a team of soldiers to search nearby to see if the other side had left any traces behind.

Seeing that everyone around was busy, Xu Ying quietly moved closer to Chen Su and whispered, “Brother Chen, do we get credited and rewarded if we catch spies?”

She said this with a wink at Chen Su.

Chen Su was so tall that Xu Ying had to stand on tiptoe to whisper to him.

Seeing this, Chen Su bent slightly and said to her, “Did you happen to read online that a spy could be worth five hundred thousand?”

He saw Xu Ying’s eager eyes and money-loving expression, smiled gently, and patiently explained to her, “According to the ’Reward Plan’, rewards are divided into three levels based on the effectiveness of the clues, offering a bonus ranging from 100,000 to 500,000, 50,000 to 100,000, and 10,000 to 50,000 yuan.”

“Ah, so that’s how it is.”

Understanding flashed in Xu Ying’s eyes.

It’s not based on the number of spies caught.

Xu Ying wasn’t really expecting to get the top reward of 500,000 yuan, even getting a few tens of thousands would be nice!

Plus, I heard there’s a certificate or medal of honor that money can’t buy.

With this thought, Xu Ying felt quite satisfied.

“Wow, so even though today was thrilling, rounding it up it’s like earning ten thousand a day!”

The early stage of planting vegetables at the rescue station still requires a good deal of investment.

And she wanted to furnish the impoverished rescue station with some furniture and convenient daily necessities, which would cost quite a bit. Rewards for catching spies were truly windfalls.

Xu Ying was already planning how to use this bonus to improve the environment at the rescue station. “I can use this reward to buy a comfortable mattress, a fridge…”

“And I can save the remaining money to buy a motorhome.”

With a motorhome, rescuing small animals will be even more convenient!

Xu Ying’s bright eyes were filled with longing, and she felt full of energy.

Chen Su couldn’t help but chuckle at Xu Ying’s dreams. This little girl was quite easily satisfied.

He then copied the way Xu Ying whispered to him earlier and said in a low voice, “But seeing the current situation, you won’t miss out on the top-tier reward.”

“Fi…Fifty thousand?”

Xu Ying was stunned and even stuttered when she spoke.

As a veterinarian at a top-tier pet hospital, she worked tirelessly for years but hadn’t saved fifty thousand.

Working in a big city, though the salary was higher compared to second or third-tier cities, expenses were also higher, making it hard to save money.

The rent, utilities, meals, and commuting costs already took a significant cut, and after tiring overtime, treating herself to good food left even less to save each month.

And now, being told that she could earn a fifty thousand reward from this mission?

Xu Ying was overwhelmed by such a tempting prospect, unable to contain her joy, “Really?!”

“Just look at the big credit you’re earning now.”

“You managed to bring down four, and judging by the threat level of their equipment…”

Chen Su couldn’t say more, so he reassured her, “Wait for my news, I’ll help you report it to the higher authorities.”

Xu Ying was dying to kneel and thank the little animals.

A huge reward of fifty thousand was beckoning her, and she felt like she was dreaming.

She already started thinking that when she went back, she had to carefully check out all the bounty notices released by the Xizhou Province police. She could cooperate with the little animals to be a bounty hunter and become wealthy!

In the system, it’s initially for job stability and a secure retirement.

But now, there was a chance for sudden wealth and credit, life was so promising.

As Xu Ying and Chen Su were whispering, Chief Qin strode over, and the two of them immediately stood up straight, like seeing a school principal.

Xu Ying asked with concern, “Uncle Qin, have you found any trace of the fifth bad guy?”

Chief Qin shook his head, “These four we’ve caught are tight-lipped, we’ll have to take them back to the unit and use some special means.”

“Let’s hope we don’t delay too long so that person hasn’t noticed anything unusual and run off.”

At this moment, the Little Sand Cat in Xu Ying’s arms meowed, [Rescuer maître, before you came to save me, the fifth bad guy said to his companions at dawn that he was going to check near where the sonic boom happened yesterday.]

[Maître, what’s a sonic boom?]

Hearing the Little Sand Cat, Xu Ying got excited, “Uncle Qin, the fifth bad guy said at dawn that he was going to the place where the sonic boom happened yesterday.”

Chief Qin was stunned at Xu Ying’s words, then quickly instructed the assistant, “Check where the base was test-flying new equipment yesterday!”

“We’ll use these points to expand our search area and catch him!”

After passing this important clue to Chief Qin, Xu Ying explained to the Little Sand Cat what a sonic boom was.

In the desert management area, due to its vastness and sparse population, many new and unreleased fighter jets and reconnaissance planes were tested in the desert.

These advanced combat equipment would often generate shock waves due to their ultra-high-speed passing through the airflow, resulting in a loud noise, which is a sonic boom.

The Little Sand Cat tilted its head in understanding without fully grasping it, [Wow, when I run fast in the desert, there’s also sound by my ears.]

Xu Ying rubbed its head, “Then you’re amazing, Little Cat, running so fast, not losing out to human high-tech!”

The Little Sand Cat straightened its small chest with pride as Xu Ying rubbed its head.

The Black Jungle Cat saw the Little Sand Cat’s tail raised to the sky and shook its head helplessly, saying to Xu Ying, [Go ahead and spoil it. It has many shortcomings to overcome.]

“Not listening, not listening.”

Xu Ying immediately covered the Little Sand Cat’s ears, “The kid is still young. Encouraging education is needed, and it really performed well today!”

The Black Jungle Cat was clearly a cool and strict master, so if it played the bad cop, Xu Ying would play the good cop.

Chen Su was intrigued by the conversation between Xu Ying and the two meowing cats, becoming curious.

“Are you chatting with them?”

“To me, the way they meow just sounds like different pitches and lengths. How does it sound to you?”
