Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 781 - 411: The Crisis of the Cattle Farm_1

"I really don’t know." Fang Xiaoqing had no idea what feed the man was asking about. "From what I’ve seen, their feeding practices seem to be the same as everyone else’s; they use all kinds of feed. If you’re so curious, why not just go take a look? The farm isn’t off-limits. If you want to work there, go ask around yourself, I don’t know when the boss is returning."

"I’m not raising any cattle right now, so I figured I’d just ask around." The man chuckled somewhat awkwardly, then took out fifty bucks from his pocket. "Take the fifty. I will be in town for the next few days. If your boss comes back, let me know. If I end up working at this cattle farm, I’ll share half of my pay with you. What do you think? This can be our little secret, I promise not to tell anyone else. I just want to find some work. I don’t care if the pay is low."

Seeing the man take out money, and start talking about sharing it with her, Fang Xiaoqing started to panic. She was a just middle school student from a small town who hadn’t seen much of the world herself. At least she knew that unprovoked kindness usually comes with ulterior motives, so she began to hurry away. "I don’t want your money, go find someone at the cattle farm if you need anything, I’m not involved in this..."

"Hey, miss, don’t rush!" Seeing Fang Xiaoqing trying to get away, the man got anxious and took a few quick steps after her.

Fang Xiaoqing, scared by his action, began to run.

After the event, she spoke with a classmate about it, who shrugged it off saying that considering the farm sold its beef to Hong Kong, it wouldn’t be unusual for people to be curious about it.

The girls proceeded to bury their heads in homework for the rest of the afternoon, completely forgetting about the event. It wasn’t until dinner time, that it came up again in conversation.

If it weren’t for the morning’s events, everyone would’ve likely thought the same as Fang Xiaoqing’s classmate - with the farm attracting attention, it’s normal for people to ask questions. People most likely assumed the man wanted to bribe the little girl into divulging news for fifty bucks.

Actually, everyone’s vigilance isn’t inherently strong. They’re all small-town folks with limited world exposure. Those who are aware of the need for discretion likely only know not to disclose the farm’s secret feed formula and wouldn’t have given a second thought to anything else.

As for Zhou Dalian instructing the kid to report back, that event took place when the farm was less well-known and Yan Fei was personally in charge, who had just rejected the suspicious Japanese visitor.

Now that Yan Fei is absent, everyone has grown more alert. They’ve reminded each other to be cautious, especially the younger students, who have been told to report immediately if someone approaches them with dubious intentions again.

However, there were those who were very concerned about these events, like Pang Fa. He wasn’t sure about the secret feed, nobody in particular had told him about it, and indeed he hadn’t asked.

The reason why he concerned was out of empathy — when he first started fishing for Yellow Eels to sell them around the town, he wouldn’t tell anyone his tricks or where he was selling them. He relied on this skill for work and letting others in on it could cost him his job.

Therefore, he somewhat concerned about the man asking about the farm. Another one who cared was Heizi, who having spent a good length of time with Yan Fei, now viewed the world differently, and hence thought more deeply.

In addition to this, when chatting with his wife that night, he brought up the incident on mute beggar in the morning. Prompted by him, his wife remembered something, mentioning that the beggar didn’t really seem mute.

Pang Fa and Heizi felt something was off, and couldn’t help but ponder that these incidents were quite a coincidence.

The fact that exactly after Yan Fei left, two suspicious events took place, that both of them were genuinely worried.

If Yan Fei were present, the two of them might not be so worried, and if these two incidents had happened at different times, they wouldn’t have been so suspicious.

The more they discussed, the more they felt that the situation was grave. Hence, they decided not to sleep. They felt that the top priority was to wake Old Gao and Old Ou, so that everyone could be alert, to prevent anyone from causing damage.

There was no need to alert so many people as there were four guard dogs in the cattle farm. Just letting them out and taking a walk with them would suffice, as nobody could hide anywhere on the grounds.

After patrolling for a while, they couldn’t sleep. All of them gathered in Pang Fa’s small room and started discussing. One of them suggested, "In my opinion, we should find a few people tomorrow, seize these two persons, beat and interrogate them first. We need to know which cattle farm sent them here, then tell Brother Fei about it so he can figure out how to retaliate."

Everyone else was on board, throwing out ideas left and right on how to deal with the situation, coming up with all sorts of wicked and devious schemes. If outsiders were to hear this, they’d probably think it’s a den of thieves!

However, after mulling it over for a while, Heizi, who had been hardened by these kind of situations, said, "With Brother Fei gone, we can’t stir up any major trouble, it’ll be a mess to clean up later. How about keeping an eye on these two first, see if they have acquaintances in town, and then taking action once we have all the information."

Pang Fa had his own thoughts, "Heizi, I think you’re being too cautious. They’re the ones who came looking for trouble. If we just sit around and do nothing until Xiao Fei comes back, what’s the point of having us around? Here’s what I think, we should first devise a plan to verify whether this beggar is really mute or just pretending to be. If he’s truly mute, it will be easier to deal with the remaining one. We can’t just capture people based on suspicion, not to mention Xiao Fei, even if we reported to Accountant Xiang or Director Lin, we’d have no grounds."

Everyone discussed chaotically for a while, and finally decided that they would first send someone to check the beggar pretending to be mute and if proven false, they would catch him first. Pretending to be mute in order to infiltrate the cattle farm, who would believe he came with good intentions?

They also needed to keep an eye on the guy snooping around, to see where he ended up. If he had acquaintances in town, it would be best as no one in town would dare to disrespect the cattle farm, so they could ask his acquaintances about him.

If he came on his own without any acquaintances, that would be even easier. After questioning the mute, if they turn out to be partners, they can capture him right away. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

After all, anyone who came to gather information, if they hadn’t been noticed by everyone, would be fine, but now that the brothers had become aware of him, as long as he hadn’t left, he would be considered unlucky.

They made this decision mainly because everyone felt that if the mute was pretending and in league with the man paying for information, it would be very sinister. At least, they never expected someone would impersonate a disabled person in order to infiltrate the cattle farm. Was the intention to destroy the cattle farm with one blow, with one person working openly, and the other under the radar?

So for everyone, as they discussed, the situation began to seem more serious, even escalating it to a crisis for the cattle farm.

After reaching an agreement, it was already late into the night and everyone finally dispersed to sleep. Only because they were all full of energy, otherwise working the next day would be accompanied by nonstop yawning, collapsing from exhaustion even before anyone has a chance to gather the secrets of the cattle farm.

In a hotel room in Hong Kong at this moment, Yan Fei and Miss Xu Xiaoyan were curled up on the couch, with the young lady already fast asleep and Yan Fei watching her peacefully sleeping face, rather dazed.

Truly dazed, not mesmerized by admiration.

He originally planned to wait for his wife to fall asleep and then take a look at the Hong Kong nightlife, but after his wife took a shower and urged him to do the same, she ended up treating him like a pillow, laying in his arms while they chat and admire the brightly lit city below. Before long, she drifted off to sleep.

Normally, he would just put his wife in a comfortable position and do whatever he wanted when she was asleep. But today being their first time traveling so far from home, and especially to the renowned international metropolis, in this completely unfamiliar city, the young lady was evidently a little uneasy.

He couldn’t quite put a finger on her uneasiness, but Yan Fei could sense it. This place was different from Gao City, which they visited before. Though Gao City is known as an ancient city, other than the large number of ancient architectures, everything else was about the same as the provincial city where the young lady attended university.

But things in Hong Kong were different. They encountered many things they didn’t understand and it felt truly foreign.

Realizing the young lady’s unease, Yan Fei chose to sit at an angle and dutifully serve as a pillow for his wife—he had initially planned to carry his drowsy wife to the bed, but she tightened her grip on him in her semi-conscious state as if fearing he would escape, so he gave up trying to move her.

And so, these two hicks visiting Hong Kong for the first time, staying in one of the top hotels in the city, spent their first night without even sleeping on the bed, slumbering on the couch instead.

Xu Xiaoyan, true to her habits, woke up early. After a period of restful sleep, as soon as she noticed the hazy daylight outside the window, she instantly revitalized.

At the same time, Yan Fei also opened his eyes.

Both of them were used to going about their own routines upon waking up—one would practice yoga while the other cooked or did some chores. But waking up in this rather empty hotel room and realizing they were in Hong Kong, they both felt as if nothing needed to be done.

After hesitating for a while, Yan Fei made a decision, "Are you going to practice yoga today? If not, let’s go for a stroll together, see if there’s a morning market around here? We can also grab a bite while we’re out."
