Lin Chuxia had no idea what her words had inspired the village chief to decide. Upon returning ho and entering the courtyard, Mrs. Qin ca out to et her.
Seeing the grave expression on Mrs. Qin’s face, Lin Chuxia asked directly, "What’s wrong, Mom? Did sothing happen?"
Mrs. Qin took Lin Chuxia by the arm, pointing inside the house, "A few public security comrades have co looking for you. Your dad is entertaining them inside right now; we don’t know what the matter is."
Lin Chuxia, seeing the worry on Mrs. Qin’s face, patted her arm, "Don’t worry, I’ll go in and see."
It’s likely that the public security comrades are here because of what happened last night.
As expected, most of the officers inside were familiar faces: Chen Ping, Sun Hao, and an older one.
Chen Ping and Sun Hao stood up first to greet Lin Chuxia and then turned to introduce her to the older officer, "Director Wang, this is Mr. Lin."
Director Wang got up and extended his right hand, "Mr. Lin, thank you for yesterday. I’ve heard all about it. Not only did you save Comrade Chen Ping, but you also helped us apprehend a criminal suspect. The case is being further investigated, and you really helped us out a lot this ti. On behalf of our departnt, I thank you."
Lin Chuxia shook hands with Director Wang simply and smiled slightly, "I was just doing what I should."
Although she spoke lightly, everyone present, except for Mr. and Mrs. Qin, knew the gravity of the situation then.
Director Wang was not about to disregard Lin Chuxia’s rits just because she was modest.
"The case requires further investigation, but I have already reported Mr. Lin’s actions to the organization."
This ant they were looking to give Lin Chuxia so reward, and naturally, she had no reason to decline.
After a while, Director Wang suggested it was ti to leave. Sun Hao and Director Wang left first, but Chen Ping stayed behind.
Under the shade of the big tree in the courtyard, Lin Chuxia brought so fresh fruit for Chen Ping.
Chen Ping joked with a smile, "Such big grapes, I’m in for a treat today."
The grapes were grown in Granny Su’s yard. Granny Su had a green thumb for flowers, and her grapevines were just as thriving.
Lin Chuxia pushed the fruit plate closer to her so she would eat more, "How are your injuries?"
"Not bad, won’t kill . We’re a tough bunch, I’ll be fine after so rest."
"Still, you can’t be careless. Won and n are different. You need to be careful when you should."
Yesterday she had seen Chen Ping clutching the area of her stomach—that’s where won are most vulnerable.
Chen Ping certainly understood Lin Chuxia’s kindness and apologized again.
Ever since the public security officers had been in the house, Zhuangzhuang had been hiding far away, watching curiously with his big, grape-like black eyes.
Children are like that, admiring yet also in awe of the public security officers.
After Director Wang and Sun Hao had left, the house was left with a beautiful auntie wearing a public security uniform, and Zhuangzhuang felt a bit braver.
Now, not far away, he huddled around Yuan Bao’s neck, chattering away, though it was unclear what he was telling Yuan Bao.
Yuan Bao also cooperated by shaking his head and wagging his tail, occasionally making a humming sound or two.
This scene, watched from afar, was inexplicably harmonious and even a bit humorous.
"Your dog is really smart; it seems to understand what we say. Where did you get this little dog from?"
Rembering the scene from yesterday, Chen Ping saw Yuan Bao in a new light.
Lin Chuxia also knew about Yuan Bao’s intelligence, which she attributed to the spiritual spring water.
Ever since she found out that spiritual spring water was effective for its health and intelligence, she would occasionally give Yuan Bao so to drink.
But even knowing it was smarter than the average dog, she never expected that at the crucial mont, Yuan Bao would be such a great help to them.
At this mont, she just smiled lightly, "I didn’t beg for it, I found it. Picked it up right in the county, just this tiny, followed all the way and wouldn’t leave no matter what. I guessed it was a holess stray dog, so I kept it by my side."
Chen Ping sighed, "No wonder it’s so smart. To be able to pick you as its owner from the bustling streets at a glance certainly proves how intelligent this dog is."
Putting aside anything else, following Lin Chuxia, the owner of a bun shop and a deli, it at least didn’t have to worry about food and drink.
Seeming to know that others were talking about it, Yuan Bao wagged its tail and barked twice at the two people.
Lin Chuxia beckoned, and Yuan Bao imdiately ran over.
When it ran over, Little Zhuangzhuang was dumbfounded, then Lin Chuxia beckoned again and called Little Zhuangzhuang over to her side.
It was Zhuangzhuang’s first ti being so close to a police officer, and his little face was flushed with excitent.
Chen Ping also noticed that Little Zhuangzhuang was in awe of his uniform, and patted the little hand holding it.
Mrs. Qin was worried Zhuangzhuang would disturb Lin Chuxia and Chen Ping’s conversation. After Little Zhuangzhuang finished touching, she called to him, wanting to take him outside to play.
Little Zhuangzhuang held his hand up high, a look of pride on his face.
"Granny, I’m going to find Niuniu, let her touch my hand, I also want to wear my military uniform."
"It’s too hot, be careful not to get prickly heat..."
Mrs. Qin pulled Zhuangzhuang along, chatting as they left the yard.
Chen Ping and Lin Chuxia both had smiles on their lips. Once people had left, the topic once again shifted back to Yuan Bao.
It turned out that Chen Ping had another purpose for coming. Their case involved many issues, and although a suspect had been identified, so items had yet to be found.
"It was after seeing how smart Yuan Bao was yesterday that we had a breakthrough idea. We’ve always heard that so police dogs can help solve cases. Our station has limited resources, and not just here, even the city doesn’t have any, so the station wanted to discuss with you, to see if we might borrow Yuan Bao’s assistance. Maybe it can help us."
After saying this, Chen Ping seed to rember sothing.
"Don’t worry, Yuan Bao’s safety is absolutely not an issue, we will take good care of it."
Lin Chuxia had no worries about letting Yuan Bao help investigate, and she was also curious to see how far Yuan Bao could go.
However, she had to lay out the harsh truth, "Although Yuan Bao is a bit smarter than the average dog, it hasn’t been professionally trained. It might not necessarily be able to help you, and I just hope you won’t be disappointed."
"No, we won’t be. The station is aware of these matters, and we’re just trying out the possibility. You don’t need to worry."
The reason for keeping her to talk about this matter alone was precisely because of this consideration.
Now that things were clear, Lin Chuxia patted Yuan Bao’s head, "Yuan Bao, it’s ti for you to make mommy proud. You’ll follow Mr. Chen these next few days, do whatever he asks, and make sure to be good and obedient, alright?"
Yuan Bao seed to understand her words, raising its head and barking twice with its little tail wagging.
Then it stood up and walked over to Mr. Chen before sitting down again.
Having witnessed Yuan Bao subduing a criminal, Chen Ping knew of its intelligence, and seeing its behavior now, his eyes lit up even more.
Like Lin Chuxia, he extended his hand to pet its head, "Good job, Yuan Bao."
Yuan Bao proudly rubbed its head against her palm, as if to respond to her.
Chen Ping was even more confident, "Then I’ll take it with . Once we have results, I’ll bring it back to you."
