My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 144 - 143 Chen Zhenglong Arrives
Chapter 144: Chapter 143 Chen Zhenglong Arrives
Zifeng placed a few small objects into his upper pocket and walked into the corridor from the storage room, only to see the Chasing Moon Dog retreating backward, its whole body bristling as though there was something terrifying outside.
Then, a big black hand covered with red hair grabbed the edge of the corridor. The creature was just about to look inside when it retreated howling, stimulated by the pungent smell assaulting its nose.
Although it was only for an instant, Zifeng had already seen the owner of the large hand—it was Chen Zhenglong’s Dancing Ape. He was delighted and hurried out of the corridor.
“Don’t move!”
A sharp reprimand came, and four arresting dogs took their stances, surrounding Zifeng.

Seeing this, the Chasing Moon Dog stepped in front of Zifeng, lowered its head, and bared its teeth, threateningly growling at the arresting dogs.
...
The scene was temporarily at a standoff, and it was then that Zifeng clearly saw several young people in uniforms inside the originally disheveled study, their faces cold and vigilant as they watched Zifeng step out of the corridor.
Each of them was followed by an arresting dog, all of them eyeing Zifeng and the Chasing Moon Dog as if they were ready to apprehend him at the slightest provocation.
“YO~”
At that moment, the Dancing Ape, having stepped outside the wooden door, heard the commotion and poked its furry head back in.
Upon seeing Zifeng, its eyes lit up, and it made a surprised sound, its thick lips puckered.
The creature squeezed through the wooden door, pushing aside an Abnormal Administration Bureau staff member who was guarding it, and scurried over on all fours, its immense weight causing the floor of the room to tremble.
The four Abnormal Administration Bureau officers’ faces changed dramatically. They quickly retreated to one side with their dogs, clearing a path for the Dancing Ape to face Zifeng directly.
“Holy shit!”
Zifeng, seeing the muscle-bound ape’s eyes shining as it enthusiastically ran towards him, was so scared that he quickly backed up several steps against the wall.
The Dancing Ape ran up to Zifeng, spreading its muscular arms to reveal its strong pectorals and abs.
Just when it was about to give Zifeng a warm hug, its motion suddenly stopped, and then casually lowered its arms, pretending to nonchalantly survey the surroundings.
Its gaze swiftly swept across the room, and only after realizing that the annoying lizard wasn’t there did it breathe a sigh of relief.
“YO~”
Boom.
The strong arm covered in red hair pressed heavily against the bluestone wall, cornering Zifeng. It looked down at him from above, a mischievous smile on its lips, and slowly bowed its head.
Zifeng’s body stiffened, his expression grave as he watched the Dancing Ape draw nearer and nearer. He hadn’t expected such an encounter after leaving the storage room.
First he was surrounded by the Abnormal Administration Bureau, and that wasn’t all—the one to break the stalemate for him… turned out to be an ape with ulterior motives towards him.
The Dancing Ape’s thick lips puckered, drawing ever closer to Zifeng.
Zifeng’s face paled, and his eyes darted towards the ape’s indescribable area below; a kick there, even for the Dancing Ape… it wouldn’t be able to bear it, right?
Just then, the ape’s nostrils twitched twice, and its expression changed to one of delightful mischief in an instant.
Zifeng had been in the storage room for so long that his smell was even more stimulating than that in the corridor.
The Dancing Ape now found itself in an awkward position. Having already poised itself, it would seem rather foolish not to do something.
At that moment, it envisioned a skinny man with the Heavenly Eye tattooed on his forehead, crouched in an indescribable place, eating an indescribable thing, and a fighting spirit ignited in its eyes.
Looking down at Zifeng, the ape gritted its teeth and, with puckered lips, was just about to…
“Dance! Dance! Ape!”
A rough voice sounded from behind it, causing the Dancing Ape to shiver slightly. It lifted its large black hand, which had been leaning against the wall, to scratch its body; then, glancing at Chen Zhenglong, it nonchalantly walked to the side and leaned against the wall.
“Big Brother Chen!”
Shao Zifeng quietly lowered his leg, and upon seeing the scruffy man before him, his eyes welled up with emotion.
Damn, how had such a righteous man like Big Brother Chen ended up with a pet filled with such philosophical aura?
“Zifeng!” Chen Zhenglong let out a hearty laugh, spread his arms to give Shao Zifeng a bear hug, then slightly recoiled and said with distaste, “Whoa, did you fall into a manure pit, kiddo? You reek.”
But seeing that Shao Zifeng was unharmed, his tightly wound heartstrings finally relaxed a little.
Shao Zifeng scratched his head sheepishly, “It’s just that it was too stinky in there.”
“You were the one who solved the case?” Chen Zhenglong looked at his little brother with a chuckle, although he had already scanned the entire department store and confirmed that there was no lingering threat.
Shao Zifeng nodded slightly and then seemed to remember something, “Right, I was looking for the source of the foul smell inside just now but couldn’t find it.”
“Is that so.” Chen Zhenglong glanced at the aisle and furrowed his brows, “Xiao Zhou, Xiao Li, and Xiao Zhao, go down to search for clues. Xiao Sun, take Zifeng to clean up and buy him a set of clothes.”
“Yes, sir!” The four men stood at attention and saluted, but the eldest among them, Xiao Zhou, glanced at Shao Zifeng, hesitated, and stopped himself from speaking.
Chen Zhenglong caught this slight change in expression and glared, “If you have something to say, spit it out. Stop mumbling like that.”
In dealing with his colleagues, Chen Zhenglong always maintained a stern expression.
“Yes, Director Chen!” Xiao Zhou looked straight ahead and saluted, saying loudly, “I think we should first bring the suspect back to the precinct to record his statement and wait until we’ve cleared up the events before releasing him from custody.”
After speaking, Xiao Zhou stood straight, gazing rigidly ahead.
Chen Zhenglong’s face darkened, and he stared at Xiao Zhou, barking, “What do you mean by that?”
Xiao Zhou turned, saluted, and looked unflinchingly at Chen Zhenglong, “Director, you asked me to speak up. This is the proper procedure for handling a case.”
The other three officers exchanged glances and silently lowered their heads, not speaking.
Chen Zhenglong’s temper flared, and he pointed at Xiao Zhou’s nose, shouting, “You!”
Although he was angry, he couldn’t really let it out; logically speaking, what Xiao Zhou said was indeed the proper procedural conduct.
If this weren’t Shao Zifeng but anyone else, he, Chen Zhenglong, would handle it by the book; yet, dealing with this stubborn hothead made him feel irritated.
“It’s fine, Big Brother Chen.” Shao Zifeng, seeing Chen Zhenglong bristling with rage, quickly grabbed his arm, “Your place has a washroom, right? I can just wash up there.”
Shao Zifeng was somewhat aware of the rules at the Abnormal Administration Bureau and didn’t want to make things too difficult for his boss in front of his subordinates.
Besides, all these people came with arresting dogs, and those recognized by arresting dogs were those loyal to their duties and missions; they wouldn’t be deliberately antagonizing him.
Chen Zhenglong patted Shao Zifeng’s shoulder apologetically, then turned and said, “Xiao Sun, you first take Zifeng back to Dragon City Abnormal Administration to make his statement.” He then said to Shao Zifeng, “These guys all came with me from Su City, they’re familiar with the case, so just tell them everything you know.”
“Alright.” Shao Zifeng readily agreed, then with a serious expression, pulled Chen Zhenglong aside.
Upon seeing this, Chen Zhenglong thought there might be some secret matter and his expression grew serious, “What’s up, Zifeng?”
Shao Zifeng said a bit sheepishly, “Big Brother, the box on storage shelf number one, that’s a reward I picked out for my pet.”
Chen Zhenglong couldn’t help but smile wryly. He wrapped an arm around Shao Zifeng’s neck and playfully tousled his hair, “That’s all you aspire for, huh? If it were me, I would have bagged the whole rack for it.”
