Chapter 889: Returning to the "Long" Film Crew
"Ah, if that's the case, then I can try to think of a solution for you."
Cheng Bei pondered for a moment and said, "I know Wei Feng's trainer and he's one of the top choices among the internal adoption candidates. I can adopt Wei Feng and register it under my name."
He then looked at Xiao He and said, “As you all know, even if I really wanted to raise Weifeng, I might not have that much time. So I can apply again to have Weifeng fostered here with you.”
In essence, he is the owner of Weifeng, responsible for it and bearing the risks, while Xiao He only has the right to raise it.
"Is this really okay? Will it affect you?"
Xiao He was pleasantly surprised when he heard about this idea.
"If we keep a low profile, there shouldn't be any problem. As long as you take good care of Weifeng and submit its medical reports and photos to the police dog team regularly, there shouldn't be any issues. After all, our initial intention is for it to have a happy life in its later years."
Cheng Bei explained.
This behavior is actually not allowed in the proper procedures, but Xiao He has a special status and is a major contributor to the Xiang Sheng Hao case. In addition, with the guarantee of several other high-level leaders, as long as no formal special approval is issued and an internal tacit consent model is adopted, then this matter will not have any problems if you don't ask and he doesn't say anything.
"Besides, I have absolute faith in Xiao He's character, and judging from your family's circumstances, Weifeng will definitely not have any major problems following you. On the contrary, its quality of life may even be better. I just hope that you can settle it in a certain city in the future to reduce travel and expenses, and take good care of Weifeng in the future."
What Cheng Bei didn't say is that although many people subconsciously feel that adopting a police dog is much better than raising an ordinary dog breed because police dogs are more disciplined, more obedient, and more human-like, making them easier to raise, that's not actually the case.
Keeping retired police dogs can lead to many hidden problems that only emerge after adoption.
One of the biggest problems is physical health. For example, Weifeng is a police dog that often works on the front lines with a particularly heavy workload. Although it received careful care during its service and retired successfully with its whiskers and tail intact, it still has some hidden injuries and joint wear and tear. This will make it more susceptible to illness in its later years, so it will require a certain amount of money to support its treatment.
Another point is that Belgian Malinois are very energetic. You can see this from Weifeng's performance on the film set. He is a very energetic "little old man" who can run around everywhere without any problem. Therefore, the adopter must take him out every day to expend his energy. However, if the adopter only lives in an ordinary city, it may not be able to satisfy his vigorous energy to run around everywhere, and may instead make him lethargic and irritable.
Therefore, considering all these factors, the complicated adoption procedures for police dogs are actually a responsible arrangement for both parties and a two-way selection opportunity.
"Ah, speaking of which, I actually already have plans."
Xiao He explained somewhat embarrassedly.
“I bought a house in Beijing before. It’s quite big, so I think it’s a good place to take Weifeng to retire.”
Xiao He hadn't originally planned to get a dog, but after the renovations at the Jinhe Prince's Mansion began, he suddenly had the idea again.
Most importantly, the Jinhe Prince's Mansion is really huge!
Let Weifeng run around freely in the garden.
Moreover, unlike the villas in Shanghai, the Jinhe Prince's Mansion will definitely need to hire people to maintain and care for the gardens on a daily basis. Therefore, Xiao He will arrange a team of housekeepers to stay there. Even if he travels to different cities, there will be dedicated people to feed and care for the gardens.
"A big house? That sounds nice!"
Cheng Bei had no idea that the big house Xiao He was talking about was actually a whole royal garden. He was still nodding and teasing with envy, "Then Wei Feng is going to be very lucky in the future."
Only Tong Junhui had heard a little about this, and his expression turned strange.
Um, if I remember correctly, Xiao Chen and Lao Qi were talking about a scenic area before?
Huh? No, even if you're just looking for a watchdog, you can't do it like this!
Both of you are actors, so why are you so rich?
Tong Junhui, who had already become a journalist, clenched his fist slightly, not letting his resentment towards the rich take over.
Only Cheng Bei calmly accepted the situation and chatted with Xiao He about some techniques for raising Belgian Malinois...
-
A few days later, on the set of the TV series "Long".
Wang Budao lay on the ground covered in blood, barely clinging to life.
His blood flowed out of his body as if it were free, but strangely, the direction of the blood flowed towards an even more sinister and terrifying dark red array.
His hands trembled slightly as he crawled forward, resisting the weakness brought on by blood loss, his blood-stained hands slamming heavily onto the last stroke of the formation.
In an instant, the formation glowed red, like a blood-sucking creature, and a large amount of blood evaporated out of thin air!
Chu Xin stood at the center of the formation, her eyes no longer able to distinguish between blood and tears. She softly murmured the incantation she had seen in her family's ancient texts, working in unison with the formation drawn by Wang Budao.
Further out, Zhou Zhiyi was relentlessly slaying monsters.
Zhou Zhiyi was also in a sorry state, his body covered in blood so thick that it was impossible to tell whose it was. Yet he continued to swing his sword and kick the monster away, creating a temporary safe space behind him.
They were no longer standing in the research institute, but had come from the tomb raiders through the hole they had made to the large tomb directly below the research institute.
It turns out that not long ago, the three people, driven to desperation, finally discovered the identity of the tomb's owner—
This man was a great general who guarded the southern border for decades. He died in his later years while resisting the Yuan dynasty. His subordinates, grateful for his lifelong loyalty and righteousness, searched for an auspicious burial site in the Nanling Mountains and gave him a grand burial. Surprisingly, he was buried right on the Nangan dragon vein.
Over the years, the tomb owner, a general who died in countless battles, absorbed dragon energy in the tomb and condensed into a powerful battle spirit. In addition, the tomb owner may have had obsessions and fierce and malevolent energy in his life, so it eventually evolved into an extremely powerful Yin Sha earth spirit, with extremely strong aggression and danger.
When the islanders explored the dragon veins and built research institutes, they continuously amplified the yin energy in the tombs without damaging the coffins or disturbing the owners' rest. Later, the tomb raiders who stumbled in by chance were also careful not to open the coffins immediately. The experienced tomb raiders had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong, so they retreated with their men without daring to wake the tomb owners.
Now, having reached a dead end, they have no choice but to burn their bridges.
Wang Budao possessed a formation he obtained through an unorthodox method, which allowed him to summon deities from tombs.
However, as everyone knows, ancient tombs and burial grounds are places where yin spirits gather, and countless dead souls and evil spirits dwell underground. Inviting the gods is like opening a door, which is equivalent to opening the passage between yin and yang, allowing them to pass through at will, and it is very easy to attract other things.
If the wrong thing comes along, it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away, especially in such a critical situation.
They are very likely to suffer a backlash and die on the spot.
Coincidentally, Chu Xin comes from a family of Xuanmen (mystical sects) with a family tradition. Although she lacks the ability, she is well-versed in ancient books and possesses a pair of Yin-Yang eyes. She can cooperate with Wang Budao's formation to identify the spirits at crucial moments, lure the tomb owner out, and kill all the monsters that have entered the tomb.
Whether the tomb owner will kill them along with the others is no longer important; they can't care about that now.
—They absolutely cannot let these monsters go up there.
Even at the cost of one's own life.
