"I'll contact my colleagues from the forestry bureau!" Qin Yunhe, the first to react, directly picked up the phone and made a call, hanging up half a minute later.
"It's a circus run by a rural circus troupe without any permits. I hate these so-called circuses; they're like animal factories!"
"Although regular zoos aren't much better, they imprison animals' freedom, but at least they ensure survival and health," Qin Yunhe added indignantly. However, they could only assist from the sidelines; this was something the forestry bureau needed to handle.
"Xu Lin, Wanwan, I'll go over there to maintain order. You two stay here and don't wander around," Qin Yunhe said, taking out her police badge from her pocket and running towards the crowd, shouting loudly, which somewhat stabilized the chaotic environment.
Ji Yun looked into the distance. Ji Datong also noticed his daughter and waved his arms towards them to indicate that they were okay.
While the situation had calmed down, Xu Lin couldn't shake off the strange feeling in his heart. Although he couldn't see the tiger's body, he felt like he could sense its presence.
It seems to be getting closer slowly. Xu Lin took a deep breath and opened the system, only to find that there were no changes. He was sure he couldn't have such special abilities.
A few minutes later, the siren sounded, and two black armed police cars arrived nearby. But they were blocked several tens of meters away, with a green car from the forestry department behind them.
But the next second, Xu Lin felt that the tiger had already arrived outside the door!
He looked out through the glass and saw a large white figure squatting at the door of the shop, clawing at it with its front paws.
The people inside also screamed. The door was locked from the inside.
But it was just a glass door, not the thickened kind, but after all, it was a door, not so easy to break.
Moreover, this tiger didn't seem to have much desire to attack, but rather seemed a bit silly.
Although it was big in size, its face was drooping there, looking lazy, constantly wagging its tail.
Its body was also clean and white. When it squatted down, its belly meat directly touched the ground, indicating that the circus's food was not bad, at least not abusing animals.
The tiger stopped roaring and instead looked into the hotpot restaurant. People inside shivered, feeling for the first time what it's like to be observed by animals like in a zoo. Once, they watched lions and tigers from behind the glass; now, the tiger watched them from behind the glass.
But Qin Yunhe, unlike others, remained calm, even a bit happy, as she looked at the tiger nearby. She even wanted to open the door and go rub its head, but instinctively knew the tiger's teeth and claws could easily kill them. As they stood there, her colleagues called her again, while forestry and police officers nearby abandoned their cars, armed to approach.
However, in the next moment, the tiger seemed to realize something and let out a low growl, baring its sharp teeth!
Instantly, people in the restaurant hurriedly retreated, some heading upstairs. The owner also shouted to the customers, "Everyone, there's plenty of space upstairs, even on the third floor. Go upstairs, enter the private rooms, and lock the doors!"
"Listen to the boss, but don't crowd, go up in order! If you don't want to go up, stay back, and don't approach the door!" Qin Yunhe continued to shout, holding up her police badge. "I am a police officer, everyone follow the instructions. Help has arrived outside. Don't be afraid or panic!"
Instantly, most of the guests on the first floor went up to the second floor. Some people thought that if the tiger came in, there wouldn't be much difference between the first and second floors, so they remained downstairs waiting.
Xu Lin also found Ji Datong, along with Su Qingwan and Ji Yun, and instructed them to go to the kitchen at the back together, where the door could be closed.
Xu Lin then boldly approached Qin Yunhe, standing only half a meter away from the tiger.
"Why are you coming to my side? If the tiger breaks in, it'll bite you to death!"
"Your camouflage is much more obvious than mine. If it bites, it'll bite you first."
"Get lost! My tan is healthy wheat color, not fake like yours! Do you only find pale people attractive, like tigers?"
"I didn't say you're not attractive."
"Hmph."
After saying that, Xu Lin moved closer and closer, eventually reaching the glass. The people around gasped in shock.
This person is terrifying! His courage is too great!
But when the tiger saw him, it suddenly stood up. Although Xu Lin wasn't afraid, he could still feel the pressure. Just standing up, it was already taller than his chest, truly the king of beasts, and its eyes were so beautiful, like amber.
Xu Lin also noticed the tiger glanced at him, but its gaze kept going past him, as if looking at Qin Yunhe.
"Qin Yunhe, it seems like it's looking at you," he said.
"Huh?" Qin Yunhe looked over and happened to make eye contact with the tiger, then the next moment, the tiger suddenly growled lowly!
The people around were startled again, and a circle of people outside came with riot shields and tranquilizer guns, surrounding the restaurant. But just when they thought the tiger was going to pounce, it suddenly raised its front paw, not hitting the door, but slowly crouching down.
Like a knight bowing to the queen, it crawled slowly in front of Qin Yunhe, making a contented purring sound. The people around were also stunned, what is this situation!? It feels like watching a fantasy movie.
Qin Yunhe herself was also in a daze, I just looked at it casually, I didn't do anything.
At this moment, the tiger suddenly let out a low rumble, and the crowd noticed, there was an additional tranquilizer needle on its neck!
The white tiger suddenly turned around and roared at the group of people, but after swaying for a few moments, it collapsed to the ground.
Qin Yunhe watched the tiger's back with an unexpected sense of tenderness, wanting to open the door and go over to embrace it.
After another 2 minutes, when the tiger completely stopped moving, several forestry workers wearing work uniforms approached with two large shields.
"Confirmed unconsciousness, don't open the door yet, wait for us to carry it away," one of them said. Qin Yunhe nodded, but her body involuntarily leaned against the door, surprising the people around her who tried to stop her.
Xu Lin stood beside her, intending to stop her initially, but ultimately sighed deeply and let her go, then casually secured the door again to ease the anxiety of those inside. Qin Yunhe approached the fallen white tiger, with several workers also close by.
"Don't get too close, although the sedative works quickly, but..."
Before they could finish, the white tiger suddenly raised its head, startling the workers into a tactical retreat!
But Qin Yunhe, as if possessed, went straight to it and embraced the tiger's large head.
Then the white tiger nudged into her embrace, nestling like a kitten in her arms. A smile slowly formed at the corner of it's mouth, resembling a human smile, as the tiger closed its eyes completely.
"Bro, how do you describe this situation?"
"Have you ever seen such a friendly tiger?"
"It's from the circus, isn't it normal for it to have low aggression?"
"I think it's not normal."
"Whether it's normal or not, let's get the car to lift it first! It's so heavy, let's get some help to lift it!"
"Come to think of it, I've never lifted a tiger before."
"Old Li, call someone to come lift the tiger!"
Meanwhile, Qin Yunhe, squatting on the ground, holding the tiger's head, with the wheat-skinned beauty and the unconscious white tiger, formed a strange scene.
Many people around, seeing the tiger completely unconscious, also lost their fear and began taking photos with their phones.
Xu Lin's vision once again flashed with a series of red garbled characters, similar to when he shot the arrow last time. What on earth... is this?
