Chen carried the blood-covered reporter Li back to the hotel.
Doctor Cha dealt with the case hastily, fulfilling his professional ethics. Jian Jing, Fina and Chen sat outside drinking coffee and smiling bitterly at each other.
Fina: "I thought he would fall into the crocodile pool..."
Chen: “He has bad luck.”
Jane Jing sighed.
We were not really stinging, after all, the jungle was so big, there was no guarantee that someone would escape. However, we did have a plan B, if someone escaped, we would drive him to the crocodile pool - this idea was proposed by Finna, but no one else objected.
But plans cannot keep up with changes. Reporter Li probably inquired about the nearby terrain and avoided several pitfalls.
Just when they thought things were going to get bad, retribution was coming.
The South China leopard left its original territory and wandered around, as night was the best time for hunting.
Who can I blame
"He deserved it." Fina vented her anger and felt refreshed. "Anyway, we saved him. It's his bad luck that he didn't make it."
She began to look forward to tomorrow’s meeting: “I really need to send a pig over.”
"Yes, you can't fool a cat, right? You have to fool a leopard." Jian Jing was also looking forward to it.
Chen: “I’ll go.”
"No one can snatch it from me." Jian Jing said, "I will go and deliver it myself."
"What are you robbing?" Kang Mucheng walked in and happened to hear this.
Jian Jing said quickly: "Nothing, ah, it's past three o'clock, go to bed, he can't run away again."
Kang Mucheng was skeptical, but seeing that she looked sleepy and was panting, he stopped talking and said, "Then go to sleep."
She quickly slipped away.
The case was solved, and the suspect was lying in bed, so there was really nothing to worry about. Jian Jing fell into a deep sleep as soon as she got into bed, and she didn't even notice the knight carrying the blanket to bed.
The man and the dog slept soundly until noon the next day.
When he woke up, reporter Li had been taken to the hospital by the police who had arrived in the morning.
The system also completed the settlement in time.

Afterwards, Lao Xixi took Professor Lao's body to the funeral home, where she was responsible for the cremation and funeral, but Dr. Cha stayed and continued to work part-time.
With nothing to do, Jian Jing and Fina decided to go rafting.
When two girls are together, the most common thing is gossip.
Jian Jing: "Will Dr. Cha marry Vanilla?"
"No." Fina said, "They are not in love."
“They admire each other.”
"Being friends who appreciate each other doesn't necessarily mean being husband and wife." Fina said, "Maybe this is the best way, more than friends, but not quite lovers."
Jian Jing: "...You are good at Chinese."
Fina: "I hope I can go to China next year. Your country is so big, and there are rare animals everywhere."
"You're welcome."
Fina was happy: "Thank you, we are friends now, right?"
"Yes." Jian Jing paused, and suddenly stammered, "Since we are friends, I have a, uh, small request..."
Fina: “?”
Jian Jing winked.
She understood and made an "OK" gesture.
The two people and the dog played in the water for a whole day. At night, the knight lay down, and Jian Jing went to feed the leopard.
She kept her promise and brought half a head of frozen pork.
Kang Mucheng was stunned: "What are you doing?"
Jian Jing: "BBQ?"
He: "Quiet."
"Let's go out and play. Fina and Chen will join me." she said.
Kang Mucheng was already suspicious and deliberately said, "Whatever the event, I'll go too."
Fina couldn't help it and covered her mouth and laughed.
Jian Jing said calmly, "Feed the cat."
He frowned slightly, but seeing her and Fina making faces, he barely managed to hold back his words: "Get up early."
She felt relieved.
The forest was as quiet as ever. The faint moonlight shone through the sparse leaves, casting shadows on the forest, as if entering another world.
Fina: "Jane, are you afraid of Kang Mucheng?"
"He's always afraid that I'll be in danger, and I don't want him to worry." Jian Jing said, "Although this is not good, I can't think of a better way."
Fina: "Why don't you tell him the truth?"
Jian Jing kicked away the branches that were in the way and did not answer the question.
After walking for an hour, we finally arrived at the place where we parted yesterday.
The three of them waited, but the leopard did not appear.
Fina said: "We are here, it dare not come out."
"You guys move aside." Jian Jing wanted to try the power of the limit card, "Maybe if I'm alone, it will pass."
Fina: "This is dangerous."
"I brought a gun." Jian Jing borrowed Fina's revolver and put it behind her waist. "You also brought anesthesia guns. It's okay."
Fina was about to say something, but Chen held her back: "She'll be fine."
"Why?"
"The South China leopard was very close to her yesterday." Chen said, "I'll go to the tree over there. It's okay."
Fina trusted his judgment very much, so she stopped trying to stop him and stepped back to hide. Chen climbed up the tree and set up the gun under the cover of the tree canopy.
Ten minutes later there was a slight rustling in the bushes.
The South China leopard jumped out lightly. In the night, its agile body looked like a mountain elf, full of incomparable beauty.
Jian Jing breathed softly, afraid of disturbing it.
The leopard walked calmly, without any hunting movements. Instead, it seemed like it was taking a normal stroll. It slowly walked to Jian Jing and looked down at the thawed pork.
It had never eaten frozen food before, so it fiddled with it for a few times before tentatively taking a bite. After confirming that it was food, it immediately lay there and started to devour it.
Jian Jing sighed, "I really did commit suicide," and reached out her hand, slowly, gently, and stroked its head.
Fina's heart almost jumped out of her chest: This is not a tame leopard from the zoo, it's a wild one!!
But even so, her inner excitement had prompted her to raise her camera and silently record the scene which lasted less than half a minute.
Well, about 30 seconds.
After touching her, Jian Jing also ran away in fear.
Fina: “I’m so scared!”
Jian Jing: "Even if there is no crocodile, it's worth it to touch the leopard!"
"I don't... No!" Fina shook her head vigorously to get rid of this terrible thought. "This is a very dangerous move. It can easily put lives in danger. I can't do such an unprofessional thing."
Jian Jing: Immersed in great happiness.
Fina: qaq
Jian Jing: "Please give me a copy of the video."
Fina: "You can't publish it publicly, it would be bad if it misleads others."
Jian Jing swore and vowed not to tell anyone.
The two arrived at the hotel excitedly, but the light in Kang Mucheng's tent was still on.
Jian Jing smiled and took the initiative to greet him: "I'm ready."
"Um."
Angry.
Jian Jing pursed her lips and went straight to the room to sleep.
Kang Lei soon discovered that there was a little unpleasantness between Jian Jing and Kang Mucheng.
Her son continued to be caring as always, but he spoke less. The little girl was more direct and played with her phone the whole way and didn't talk much.
"Did you have a fight?" Ms. Kang asked her son. "Over the books?"
Kang Mucheng denied it outright: "No."
"Tsk." Kang Lei patted his shoulder, "Men should be more generous. Why are you angry with a girl?"
Kang Mucheng: "It's all over, there's no quarrel."
"Yes, we didn't quarrel, we were just in a cold war." Ms. Kang rolled her eyes, "Why are you arguing with me?"
She was quite interested: "Why are you making such a fuss with me?"
Kang Mucheng said nothing and continued reading emails.
"Jingjing, how did Mucheng bully you?" Kang Lei changed her target again and said with a smile, "Auntie, I'll help you scold him."
"I didn't play with him yesterday, and he got unhappy." Jian Jing glanced at him provocatively, "President, are men's minds particularly hard to guess?"
Kang Lei laughed to death: "By the way, ignore them."
Kang Mucheng didn't even raise his head.
Jian Jing suddenly felt bored and closed the magazine: "I'm going to buy a cup of coffee, President, do you want one?"
“Americano on the rocks.”
"OK."
The coffee shop at the airport is always crowded, especially today when the flight was delayed. Jian Jing waited in a long line to buy coffee and snacks. When she entered the VIP lounge, she passed by several tall men.
Her spiritual sense was touched and she glanced towards them.
It was just a curious look from passers-by, but it instantly attracted the other party's attention. They turned their heads sharply and looked at her coldly.
Jian Jing blinked and pretended to be confused.
When the other party saw that she was holding a cup of coffee and dressed fashionably and beautifully, and looked non-threatening, he turned around coldly and continued to scan the passers-by around him.
"Who is that?" Jian Jing walked to the seat and asked President Kang in a low voice.
President Kang took a sip of coffee and said, "The guest who just arrived was very mysterious and the security was so tight. He must be some important person."
"No wonder." Jian Jing didn't take it to heart and looked up at the display screen, "Can our plane fly?"
President Kang's face suddenly darkened: "It's been 5 hours."
As the saying goes, unexpected events happen. Our flight was fine, but the typhoon over the Pacific Ocean was attracted by something and did not follow the original route. It changed direction this morning and happened to be on the planned route of the flight.
As a result, the flight went from being on time to being delayed by 1 hour, 150 minutes, and then 240 minutes.
It never ends.
However, humans are very small and insignificant. No matter how unhappy they are, they cannot influence the typhoon. They can only accept the arrangements and wait patiently.
Jian Jing was frustrated: "How long do we have to wait?"
"Don't be anxious. The more anxious you are, the worse it will be." President Kang stretched lazily and said casually, "I'm going to take a nap. The flight attendant will notify me when it's time to board the plane. Go and have fun on your own."
Without waiting for their answer, she picked up her handbag and went to the room to rest.
Jian Jing continued to play with her phone out of boredom.
Kang Mucheng looked at her and asked, "Why don't you write an article when you have nothing to do?"
"No inspiration." she said.
He: “Want to talk about the plot?”
She: “No need to chat.”
Kang Mucheng sighed: "Quietly."
Jian Jing lowered her head and touched the knight's head: "Are you happy or not? You can sit in the cabin today."
According to the regulations, at least one pet must be allowed in the cabin. At that time, the knight did not get his turn to enter the cabin, and was checked in for several hours with grievances. He suffered a lot, so during the journey, Jian Jing took great effort and finally got a place to enter the cabin.
Because of this, she did not plan to change the flight to avoid letting the dog suffer any more.
Knight: “Hmm.”
"Would you like to have lunch?" she asked.
The knight looked at her, then looked at Kang Mucheng, and lay on the floor: "Hmm."
"I'll go buy you lunch." She said, "Be good and don't run around."
The knight wagged his tail to indicate that he had heard him.
Although there were a lot of food in the VIP restaurant, they were all specialties and there was nothing that the dog liked to eat. Jian Jing decided to find a steak house and order a medium rare steak for lunch.
The airport was very large and it took her some time, but fortunately she finally found a restaurant serving steak.
While waiting, she repeatedly watched the video of herself petting the big cat, thinking about who to send it to to share her happiness.
Monsoon? No, although he was not as worrying as Kang Mucheng, he probably wouldn't agree with her taking risks - after all, contact with wild animals was dangerous.
Jiang Baiyan? It was foreseeable that it would be a wave of flattery, but Jian Jing was afraid of misleading him, so she told him that there was nothing to be afraid of. What if he was filming a variety show and she went up to touch him
I'm afraid of being taught a lesson, afraid of misleading others. After spending so much time thinking about it, there's actually no one to share with. It's really depressing.
Jian Jing put down her phone and rested her chin on her hand in a daze.
The next moment, her body suddenly tensed up, and before she could turn her head, her elbow had already hit backwards.
It failed.
Someone hugged her from behind and laughed softly, "Long time no see, Miss Rabbit."
