"No rush about the bail, let's wait a bit..." Golden Leopard stretched lazily on the sofa.
"Wait? Wait for what?" Ansheng looked puzzled, turning to Golden Leopard who was rolling on the sofa and pressing its legs, causing them to creak, "This isn't like you. Usually, you urge me to hurry up..."
"That tiny roommate of yours ordered KFC, and the staff at the ecological base went to buy it. We'll bring it in smoothly later." Golden Leopard said to Master Fuli with a justified look.
"?" Ansheng slowly carved out a question mark.
As per usual, criminals arrested by the Security Bureau don't get to eat "KFC." They are only provided free drug-free medical services by the Security Bureau.
But Momo and her group are different. Though they are involved in spying on state secrets and provoking trouble, their identity from Xinxing Agricultural Science College makes the first charge hard to establish. Plus, with Master Fuli's guarantee, there's no need to push them over the brink.
Recording statements is the official term, while the reality is senior Wang Qiqi giving the younger schoolmates psychological guidance.
Along with coaxing Lingren, asking if she has any interest in part-time as a temporary technician for the Security Bureau.
Her rope art skills, from a certain perspective, are almost godlike skills for forest combat - especially her ability to quickly setup pulley systems and steel nail traps, which can serve as advanced courses for the forest ranger's forest combat subject.
...
After waiting for about five minutes, the staff from the ecological base pushed a cart inside.
On the cart, there were thirty-something cups of cola, more than a dozen family buckets, plus fifty or sixty egg tarts and other snacks, the cart was full to the brim, pushed by Golden Leopard toward the meeting room.
"Midnight snack is here~"
Golden Leopard pushed open the office door. Wang Qiqi was sitting in the small sitting area next to the meeting room, crossing her legs, talking to Momo and her group seated on the three-seater sofa.
Momo's face was full of resignation, her head against the wall, her entire body exuding a gray-white aura.
Meanwhile, Lingren was also tightly leaning against Momo, her head resting on her shoulder, eyes glazed over, with an absent-minded expression, oozing with deep resentment.
In the entire observation room, Yuyu was the only one enthusiastically conversing with Wang Qiqi.
"Hum~"
Ansheng peeked his head in from the door, looking at Momo and the others inside and let out a moan.
"Stop whining, we've all seen the video." Seeing the little fox peeking in, Momo weakly waved her hand.
"Mistakenly~ Entered heaven's house, advised me to put down the sand in my hand....."
Seeing Ansheng enter, Lingren even more directly pinched her fingertips in preparation to show off her singing skills.
To express the absurdity she felt inside at the moment.
It was easy to see that Momo and Lingren were in an extremely speechless state now.
"Not necessary, not necessary...."
Ansheng walked in from outside, stepped forward, sat on the coffee table, and said awkwardly, "I actually didn't plan to hide it from you guys at first....."
"But, you also know what kind of madhouse it is in our dormitory."
"One family doesn't talk about another's affairs. Whatever you want to ask, I can answer you one by one...."
The little fox's clear child's voice echoed in the meeting room, accompanied by the aroma of KFC fried chicken.
Momo looked solemnly at the little fox, putting her hand on his shoulder:
"You..."
"Never opened the wardrobe in my dorm or the computer in my study's hidden room."
Momo spoke directly to the core of the issue.
"I am not that kind of fox, next please." Ansheng raised his fox paw and waved it, indicating he never rummaged through Momo's wardrobe or the hidden room in the dance studio.
The hidden room Momo mentioned is the compartment between the study and the dance studio, containing a server.
Inside are Momo's selfies, including ones of her in swimsuits and pajamas.
"What were you doing just now?" Lingren stepped forward, raised her hand, and poked at the little fox's chest, testing the human-like feel of Fox.
"Helping them with things." Ansheng gestured with his mouth toward Wang Qiqi's direction and said, "I don't know if Old Wang has told you about Spirit Beast cases. The Security Bureau, to some extent, is an organization with the authority to manage and register Spirit Beasts."
"Xia Country is vast, Spirit Beasts can be classified into two types, the first type is those that consume state resources and are part of careers, and the other type is intelligent and harmless to human society. As long as they find a stable job, they can live independently in the city."
Ansheng slowly explained to Momo and others the rough classification the Security Bureau has for Spirit Beasts.
"So, you belong to the second type, and Ah Qing is your guardian in human society?"
Momo looked at Wang Qiqi, then turned to the little fox and offered her understanding.
"Not really, over at our Security Bureau, Master Fuli is your guardian."
Wang Qiqi, eating an egg tart, patched Momo's conclusion, "You belong to the students of Xinxing Agricultural Science College, and if you cause an incident involving Spiritual Particles, we will consult Master Fuli, and then inform your parents."
"???"
Upon hearing this, Momo looked at Wang Qiqi with a completely bewildered expression, feeling itchy on her scalp, as if about to grow a brain.
"Although you might not remember, this is actually the second time you've been arrested by our Security Bureau. Previously, you caused a safety incident, and Master Fuli paid to charter a helicopter to search for you, all over the mountains."
Wang Qiqi pointed to Momo.
"Me?"
Momo looked shocked, pointing to herself, then instinctively looked at Master Fuli and asked, "Did... did I?"
"Some small things, not worth mentioning. If you want to know the details, I'll tell you slowly when we get home...."
Ansheng proudly lifted his head, chest puffed out, the tail behind him swaying happily, almost hinting on his head: Go ahead, aren't you going to thank the master now?
"You guys chat, I need to rest a bit..." Momo reclined on the sofa, only feeling her head buzzing, and her brain feeling hot.
What Master Fuli said might not be much, but it basically matches what Wang Qiqi just stated.
Among beasts, Spirit Beasts are one in a million, but with Xia Country's vegetation coverage and beast population, Spirit Beasts aren't few, and conflicts between Spirit Beasts and humans occur daily, with those involved signing confidentiality agreements.
"By the way, does Ah Qing know about your situation?"
Yuyu looked curiously, eyes sparkling, at Master Fuli's face:
"How did you and Ah Qing meet? Really, just like Ah Qing said, was it picked up from a trash can?"
"Now knowing about Spirit Beasts, Ah Qing's words feel less credible to me."
Yuyu believes Ah Qing wouldn't lie, but the little fox Ah Qing picked up might not be as honest.
This little fox might be craving for older sister and approached her to engage in stonewalling-style gratitude.
"......"
Listening to Yuyu's question, Ansheng stayed silent for a while before speaking:
"Though I dislike admitting it, what Ah Qing said is essentially true."
"I belong to the North China subspecies of fox. That day in Changxi Town, I saw a serpent-type Spirit Beast invading territory, so I fought with it to the trash can side."
"Ah Qing was passing by with a suitcase, saw me, took my hand saying she found a fox, and packed me up."
Yuyu: "......"
So... it really was just found?
"You didn't resist?"
"How could I resist when there's food and lodging provided?"
