Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 207 - 197 What a Coincidence
Chapter 207: Chapter 197: What a Coincidence Chapter 207 -197: What a Coincidence Qiao Sang walked out of the store with her repaired phone.
Considering that people with social anxiety often suffer from a mild fear of being without their phones, she didn’t wait until tomorrow and went straight back to school to deliver the phone to Jin Feifan.
This repair and delivery caused Qiao Sang to return home an hour later than usual.
As she entered the neighborhood and reached the corner, she saw two men in black suits lingering around her doorstep, occasionally peeking inside.
The two stood with straight backs, looking like a pair of bodyguards.
The first thought that came to Qiao Sang’s mind was: In the middle of summer, wearing such attire, aren’t they hot?
Even though there were two strangers at her door, Qiao Sang didn’t take it too seriously.
Although Tianjing Garden is not the most expensive residential area in Hangkang City, it’s still a wealthy neighborhood with a sound security system—there’s 24-hour security every day, and outsiders without registration can’t just come in.
Right at that moment, she saw a chubby pigeon flying out from her yard.
“Wait!” Qiao Sang immediately patted Yaobao’s back, signaling it to stop.
“Yaobao.”
Yaobao noticed the two humans not far ahead as well.
Qiao Sang stood still on Yaobao’s back and saw the chubby pigeon that flew out from her yard land on the shoulder of one of the men in black suits and shake its head.
Fuck! Illegal entry!
At that moment, several past news stories she had read flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.
[Lone female student encounters a strange man sneaking into her room]
[In Liaocheng, a solitary woman finds a strange man hiding under her bed, who doesn’t run but smiles instead]
[27-year-old solitary woman found stuffed in a suitcase and discarded]
[Advising all solitary women not to pick up strange pet beasts, as the beast turned out to be…]
The last piece of news was something she had come across on her phone not long ago: some people exploited women’s softer nature by making their pet beasts appear pitiable to be picked up and brought home, then using the pet beasts to determine whether the target lived alone and was easy to approach.
It was indeed despicable.
Qiao Sang began to ponder, considering that she was a woman living alone. She didn’t mean to be narcissistic, but although she was not fully developed, she had a pretty face!
Could it be that she was being targeted?
With that thought, Qiao Sang touched her face, growing more convinced the more she thought about it.
“Wait until you walk over there—look fierce,” Qiao Sang said to Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao.
“Yaobao!”
Yaobao seemed to understand something, glanced at the two humans ahead, bared its teeth, and immediately put on a fierce expression.
“Xunbao—”
The Treasure-seeking Ghost’s eyes lit up. It took off the ring and pulled out a portable mirror and a pen to touch up the tic-tac-toe scar on its face.
Before Qiao Sang could walk over, one of the men in black suits, the thinner one, seemed to sense something and looked their way.
The man was taken aback, then whispered something to his companion, and the two of them walked towards her together.
In an instant, Qiao Sang tensed up.
Are criminals this brazen now?!
Should she strike first and have Yaobao attack them?
Fortunately, she was still rational, suppressing the urge to beat them up.
Without any concrete evidence, and with the nearby security cameras only capturing the footage of the chubby pigeon flying into her house, what if they lied and claimed it was a mistake?
After all, it was a pet beast that entered, not a person.
The two men in black suits stopped their steps two meters away from the girl after noticing the Flame Listening Dog and Treasure-seeking Ghost that were glaring intently at them.
“Hello, do you live in apartment 1705?” asked the thinner man in a black suit.
Qiao Sang shook her head, “No.”
The two men in black suits were taken aback, and they looked at each other in confusion. Finally, the thinner one couldn’t help but say, “But I’ve seen you coming and going from apartment 1705 recently.”
Before Qiao Sang could respond, the chubbier man in a black suit turned and questioned, “Could you have made a mistake?”
“No, I remember all the residents of our community, and she definitely lives in apartment 1705,” the thinner man in a black suit affirmed confidently.
With a Flame Listening Dog that had been on the news and a rarely seen Treasure-seeking Ghost by her side, she had only moved in not long ago, but how could he possibly mistake such conspicuous presences.
We community… Qiao Sang picked up on the keyword from their conversation with precision.
She couldn’t have heard them wrong…
“Who are you?” Qiao Sang asked.
“We are security guards of the community. There was an incident where the owner of apartment 1707 reported that a Pet Beast stole two Bai Nuo fruits from their home, and it seems like the beast ran into apartment 1705, so we came to check,” the thinner security guard explained.
The dress code for security guards in a high-end community really is meticulous…
It was a good thing she had restrained herself from acting rashly earlier, or she would have been utterly embarrassed.
Qiao Sang laughed awkwardly, “Haha, is that so? I just got back from outside. Do you want to check it out now?”
“Didn’t you say that you don’t live in apartment 1705?” the chubbier security guard asked, frowning.
Qiao Sang brazenly responded, “I’m just a tenant, I thought you were asking about the owner.”
The chubbier security guard’s face darkened. As he was about to say something, his gaze met that of the Flame Listening Dog bearing its teeth at him, and he swallowed back his words instantly.
“Then let’s take a look inside,” the chubbier security guard said to his thinner colleague.
As he spoke, his eyes lit up as if he was eager to proceed immediately.
Watching his reaction, Qiao Sang narrowed her eyes slightly.
“What are you looking at, she just got back,” the thinner security guard reprimanded before turning to Qiao Sang with an apologetic tone, “He just started here and doesn’t know the ropes yet. We were also concerned about the possibility of a wild Pet Beast entering the premises. We’ve already sent Little Fatty Dove to scope it out from the inside.”

“As long as you’re not there and nothing’s amiss, just give us a call if you do notice any wild Pet Beasts.”
He internally scoffed at the idea, what a joke, they were security guards, not police officers.
For the sake of two Bai Nuo fruits, casually searching the home of a Beast Tamer who clearly was not someone to mess with—what if they got on her bad side?
This newbie clearly wasn’t thinking straight.
The chubbier security guard became anxious as soon as he heard this and started to protest, “But…”
Before he could finish, Qiao Sang interrupted, “Was the appearance of the Pet Beast that stole the Bai Nuo fruits captured?”
The thinner security guard looked puzzled for a moment, “We don’t know what the Pet Beast is, only that it was blue.”
Qiao Sang asked, “Wasn’t it clear on the surveillance footage?”
“It wasn’t caught on camera,” the thinner security guard said awkwardly.
“Oh?” Qiao Sang raised her eyebrows, “Then how are you certain that the Pet Beast that stole the Bai Nuo fruits ran into apartment 1705?”
The chubbier security guard stepped forward, “I saw it. I saw it run inside.”
Listening to him, Qiao Sang asked with a smile, “Uncle, where are you from? Your accent seems different from ours here.”
“He is from the Ancient Mist Region,” the thinner security guard interjected quickly. “He just arrived the day before yesterday.”
Ancient Mist Region… In a flash, Qiao Sang associated this with Shuilu Yana, who also hailed from the Ancient Mist Region.
What a coincidence…
