The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 29: The Missing Rich Beauty Case

"Oh no, your internet speed is so slow, this gossip has already trended."

As soon as gossip was mentioned, the news from Ning Zexi’s side came flying fast. Xu Ying could almost see the animated expression on his face when he was gossiping.

"A white wealthy woman worth millions went missing in the desert! Police investigation shows that the last place she appeared was in this Lin Mo County closest to us."

"In the past few days, several media reporters have gathered in the county, along with private detectives and bodyguards sent by this wealthy woman’s family. It’s quite the spectacle, with a lot of luxury cars around too."

Wow, this news is explosive.

"Hope that young lady is safe and sound."

Xu Ying shook her head, her eyes filled with worry, "Hopefully she didn’t accidentally wander into the uninhabited area, or else she might be in big trouble."

Every year, quite a few missing cases from the desert area make the news, and many people end up as skeletons in the desert.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ying felt melancholic and decided to ask around when she went to find the Little Desert Rat.

At this moment, a notification sounded in her mind:

"Congratulations to the host for completing the task, the reward has been credited to your account~"

"Does the host want to use a cubic meter of nutrient soil now?"

"Keep it for now, I’ll wait until Ning Zexi returns from his big shopping trip~"

Xu Ying had entrusted Ning Zexi to buy flower pots, seeds, and vegetable seedlings. She eagerly hoped Ning Zexi would return the next day, longing eagerly for his return.

"Would the host like to exchange for the Beast Language Skill now?"

Hearing this, Xu Ying glanced up at the clothesline above her.

A King Cobra had somehow snuck in, probably afraid of scaring Xu Ying and the little cubs inside the house, or perhaps afraid of the Black Jungle Cat. It was currently coiled on the high clothesline in the rescue station, sound asleep.

Xu Ying hesitated for a moment, deciding between mastering snake language or mouse language.

But seeing the heart-shaped shadow behind the King Cobra’s neck, Xu Ying immediately chose to activate the mouse language skill.

After all, with the cobra, once it started talking, she already knew it would not stop talking about finding a mate.

Xu Ying moved a wooden stool against the wall, sat down, and sighed, "Oh, I wish I could just collapse on a sofa for a bit!"

After a long while, a Gobi Bear poked its head through the doorway: [Little Station Master, do you want to lean on me for a while?]

Xu Ying jumped in surprise, "Introvert Bro, you’re here already? I thought you were still on the way!"

The Gobi Bear was slower than her motorcycle and needed to rest along the way, so Xu Ying had told it the direction to the rescue station, urging it to come slowly without rushing. The doors of the rescue station would always be open for it.

"Come in, come in. It’s a bit shabby here, don’t mind it."

Xu Ying warmly invited the Gobi Bear into the rescue station.

[I’m tired from traveling, can I lie down here for a bit?]

"Of course you can, we’re good friends, no need to be so restrained. Lie down whenever you like!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The Gobi Bear patted its belly: [Do you want to lean on me to rest for a while too?]

Xu Ying, who was troubled by the lack of a sofa, lit up, "Yes, yes!"

The Gobi Bear lay on its back, and Xu Ying lazily leaned against its belly. She had to admit, this "genuine leather sofa" was an absolute experience.

After a whole day of running around, the sun was already setting, the orange-red sunset slowly sinking below the desert horizon. The afterglow poured through the window, warming Xu Ying with the residual heat of the setting sun.

Xu Ying glanced at the Little Sand Cat, which had already nestled in a new bed and fallen asleep after playing with the fox cubs.

The energetic fox cubs sensibly chose to romp outside the rescue station.

The small ear fox cub rolled on the golden sand like a white fur ball, the magnificent sunset tinting their white fur.

The Black Jungle Cat, taking on the role of "guardian," nestled in a sandpit at the doorway it had dug, watching the fox cubs play and spend their energy with calm golden eyes, exuding a knightly demeanor.

Last time Director Yi visited Xu Ying, he brought quite a lot of snacks.

Xu Ying opened a bottled milk tea for herself, washed her hands, and started eating a bag of potato chips.

The solitude of the working environment was truly pleasant!

No need to pay rent, no need to squeeze onto the subway early in the morning, no 996 schedule, truly a flexible working system, no clocking in, no overtime, no performance targets to meet.

All there was, was the sunset, the great desert, and the adorable fluffies.

Everything around made Xu Ying feel comforted.

A small happiness in the peace of time.

A lot of the melancholy in her heart dissipated. How great it would be if the desert was always this peaceful and harmonious.

The next day, Xu Ying rode her motorcycle to complete her routine patrol of the area she was responsible for, and while doing so, asked the Sand Rat Boss if there had been any unusual activity in the desert lately. After working for five hours, she finished and clocked off.

Initially, Xu Ying planned to help the Little Desert Rat store food in its warehouse, but the Sand Rat Boss mentioned some construction issues with their new home, asking her to wait for a notification.

Amused and resigned, Xu Ying clocked off.

Apart from being responsible for rescuing small animals, the animal rescuers also checked the water pipes near the highway. Without special tasks for the day, the work is actually quite easy.

No unreasonable patient families, no endless work, Xu Ying had never had such a light workload before.

Even if this position occasionally faced life-threatening situations and poor working conditions, Xu Ying felt satisfied, with time to be alone, empty her mind, and enjoy the beauty of the desert.

She felt that the exhaustion from her previous life as an office animal had been healed here.

Happiness flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the third day. Ning Zexi drove to the 032 Rescue Station, and Xu Ying practically flew out to greet him.

"Big brother, I’ve been waiting forever for you to return!"

However, as soon as she heard the car stop in front of the door and stepped out, Xu Ying realized that there were three motorcycles following behind Ning Zexi’s off-road vehicle.

They seemed to be employees from other rescue stations.

From the passenger seat of Ning Zexi’s vehicle, a slightly chubby uncle got out. Xu Ying recognized him as Kuang Ming, the Deputy Director of the Desert Rescue Station Headquarters.

Ning Zexi came out of the driver’s seat with a bitter face.

Kuang Ming said to Xu Ying, "Xiao Xu, we received a message from the police that a 23-year-old young woman has gone missing in our desert management area."

"As those most familiar with the desert management area, our various rescue stations have been entrusted with the task of finding people."

"Be more vigilant while on your usual patrols."

Xu Ying nodded, feeling that this Deputy Director seemed less cordial than Director Yi, and answered honestly, "Alright, I’ll keep an eye out."

She glanced at the three motorcycles that came with Ning Zexi’s off-road vehicle, "Is there another joint rescue mission from headquarters this time?"
