Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl Chapter 66 – Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Midnight Scare

Chapter 66: Chapter 66 Midnight Scare Chapter 66: Chapter 66 Midnight Scare Following Chen Ying inside, Jinya sensed danger and, enraged, lunged at Luo Ben.

Amid the shocked cries of everyone around, Chen Ying, swift and agile, caught Jinya. As Jinya fell, he flipped over, becoming her human cushion.

With several dozen kilograms thumping down, there was definitely some weight to it.

Plus, with the courtyard being a cement ground, the pain made Chen Ying groan, drawing a sharp intake of breath right there and then.

Little Sen and Xiao Song rushed over, one pulling Jinya away and the other helping Chen Ying up.

“Blame him! As a wildlife rescuer, he led by example in rearing wild animals. I simply learned from him. If you want to deal with me, deal with him first. Otherwise, I'm taking this to court, and I'll even blow it up in the media. We'll all be done for.”

Xiao Song, red-faced with anger, struggled to argue with him.

“Jinya was saved by Brother Ying. Isn't it normal for her to be attached to him? That's not the same as what you did!”

“How is it not the same? I also thought the wolf cub was abandoned, that's why I took it out. I returned it to the mother wolf when she came back, didn't I? It wasn't my wish for it to die.”

“You, you're twisting words to win an argument! The cub wasn't killed by the mother wolf, you threw and smashed it to death. What are you still arguing about, the video is proof!”

“Who knows if you tampered with that footage. Plus, it only shows the cub hitting the ground, who can be sure I threw it? Who dares?”

His harsh glare swept over Dr. Gao and the others as if he would devour someone.

The colleague, still indifferent, looked impatiently outside.

Dr. Gao and Zhou Hao, however, furrowed their brows and glared angrily at Luo Ben.

“Can't you be reasonable?”

“Ha, reasonable, talk about what? You're throwing all the blame on me now, acting all clean and innocent. Disgusting!”

Professor Song stood at the staircase, back turned, his expression dark.

“Notify his parents to come to the institute and pick him up. As for his academic issues, let the school handle it according to regulations. He should face up to any responsibilities he must bear. He's over twenty, not some clueless kid.”

Professor Song, having overextended his anger, calmed down and walked over to Chen Ying, squeezing his shoulder.

“Come with us to the hospital later for a check-up; the institute will cover the medical expenses.”

“I'm very sorry, my student has caused you trouble. If there's anything that needs to be handled regarding the wolf, let me know. My old face still has some uses.”

“It's fine, Professor Song, there are basically no problems now. I surely won't be shy if I need something.”

About fifteen minutes later, representatives from the rescue center, the Bird Research Institute, and the county Forestry Bureau all arrived.

After a busy ordeal and sending people off, it had already gotten dark.

Except for some swelling, Chen Ying's shoulder was fine.

Chen Ying declined the offer from the Bird Research Institute's leader to accompany him to the hospital and said goodbye to Professor Song and his group. The staff at the rescue station breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Today had truly been chaotic.

At the rescue center were Director Bai and Sister Dai.

They still had things to ask Chen Ying and didn't go down the mountain with the others.

Sister Dai, always straightforward, directly inquired about the mother wolf's condition.

Upon learning that her body was still injured but, because humans had killed her cub, she was very resistant to Chen Ying's intention to treat her.

“I'll figure out a way to deal with her external injuries. However, judging by her condition, it seems to be the result of a fight, not too severe.”

“Director Bai, I believe from the perspective of animal psychology, it's normal for the mother wolf to harbor resentment against humans after losing her partner and cub. To remove this resentment, I want to try pairing her so she might have her own pups again, which could stabilize her emotions.”

Director Bai glanced at Chen Ying several times.

Chen Ying had already been secretly informed about someone trying to find a mate for the she-wolf. He did not oppose the idea and quite admired Chen Ying's wildly imaginative thinking.

“Research on breeding wolves with police dogs started in the early 2000s but has never been widely promoted. There are many reasons, with the inheritance of natural instincts being a major factor.”

Director Bai stroked his chin, “Send me a short video of the she-wolf, and I'll ask around to see which unit might be interested. Once that's settled, we'll discuss how to proceed.”

When Sister Dai and Director Bai were descending the mountain, she gestured for Chen Ying to call her, likely having some matters that were inconvenient to discuss in public.

Little Sen dragged Chen Ying to apply some medicine and then vigorously massaged the bruises from the impact.

Jinya and Little Jin were originally standing by, but as the scent of the medicinal liquor spread, both youngsters yelped and quickly scampered away.

Standing on the platform, they looked at Chen Ying with worried eyes, Jinya even barking at Chen Ying, urging him to run away.

They probably mistook the medicinal liquor for a smoke bomb.

Just after the massage, Yin Li and the others returned.

They brought back three sets of animal traps.

“What's going on with these three… They don't seem like used items.”

“Definitely someone placed them secretly. We've already notified the nearby villages, and tomorrow police along with the Forestry Bureau colleagues will come up to handle this.”

“People are still illegally fishing at Old Dragon Pond. They ran away when they saw us coming, and didn't even gather their belongings.”

Master Yi threw the confiscated fishing rods and fish keeper onto the ground.

“Fortunately, they didn't catch any rare fish species. The fish in the keeper have all been released back into the water.”

“Did you get a clear shot of their faces?”

“No, those fishermen were fully equipped with hats, masks, and glasses, you can't make out their faces at all.”

Mentioning these people, the rangers felt like blowing up.

Every day propagating, every day patrolling, yet they can't stop these poaching and illegal fishing felons, these people have really taken guerrilla tactics to a senior level.

“Tomorrow, I'll go with Little Deng again, we'll use a drone from a distance to scout, at least to find out which gap they are entering from.”

During dinner, Yin Li inquired about the wolf situation.

Little Sen, infuriated, told him about Luo Ben's actions which made Yin Li and Master Zhao curse continuously.

“That bastard, still a scholar, how could he do such a thing? Even hunters wouldn't lay hands on little cubs.”

Master Zhao was so angry he even resorted to local slang, leaving Little Sen and the other two younger outsiders baffled.

“What about the wolf now, how is it doing?”

“It's staying on the hillside north of the bamboo forest. I checked, it was injured but wouldn't let anyone approach. I fed it some today, secretly hiding some medicine in the meat, it should help somewhat.”

Thankfully, this forest is abundant with small animals and does not lack food, so there's no need for it to fight with other predators.

“I asked Jinya to check on the Large Spirit Cat and its family more tonight, worried the she-wolf might attack them all in one swoop.”

Both are nocturnal animals; while humans sleep, that's when the mountain's wildlife is most active—just worried about waking up to bad news in the morning.

The two senior masters were a bit low on energy and went to rest after eating, while Little Deng still had to put in extra hours helping the masters write the forest patrolling logs.

Fortunately, now equipped with a smart system, just turning on the login could automatically record the patrolling track, their logs only needed a summary of today's issues.

Just when things were speeding up, Chen Ying suddenly heard someone knocking on his room's window glass.

He sat up abruptly and turned his head to ask, “Who is it, what's the matter?”

After a brief pause, the knocking sound resumed, more urgently.
