"Shop manager." Although the dogs in front of him were of different sizes, Du Qianze did not intend to force his way in. If he was bitten by accident, his work for the next few days would be delayed.

"Is there anything?" Fang Yi turned around and asked.

"I have a few questions for you." Du Qianze shouted loudly.

"Tiger, get out of the way." Fang Yi shouted at the black cat.

After hearing the shout, the black cat slowed down and meowed softly. The dogs around it immediately dispersed, and it turned around and left.

"They won't hurt anyone." Fang Yi said without looking back.

Du Qianze took a cautious step forward and found that only a few dogs nearby looked up at him curiously. They did not show any signs of rushing over, so he continued to move forward with confidence.

Du Qianze stepped over dozens of dogs before finally walking to Fang Yi's side. He wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. Du Qianze calmed down for a while before asking Fang Yi when he picked up Da Bai.

Fang Yi thought for a while, then shook his head and said he couldn't remember. He shouted Naima towards the door.

A minute later, Naima appeared at the door. The yard suddenly became chaotic. Many cats basking in the sun stood up, and many dogs also stood up and circled around Naima. Some cats jumped on Naima. Naima carried a few cats and a little puppy on his back and squatted in front of Fang Yi.

Fang Yi finished the work in his hands, turned around and said to Naima seriously, "Call all the children you picked up these days."

After listening to Fang Yi's words, Naima woofed, as if to say yes, shook his body, let the cats get off, turned around and ran in the yard.

"Can he... understand you?" Du Qianze asked doubtfully, thinking that this pet shop was getting weirder and weirder.

"Dogs are pretty smart. Some words can be understood after being said a few times."

Not long after Fang Yi finished speaking, Naima had already come back from a walk in the backyard, squatting in front of Fang Yi with an expression that looked like he was asking for praise.

Several cats and dogs in the yard slowly came over and squatted behind Naima.

Fang Yi squatted down, rearranged the cats and dogs, and then counted in a low voice, "Yesterday's, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday..." Fang Yi finished counting and turned around to talk to Du Qianze, the a rabbit came over with a leaf in its mouth.

Fang Yi put the rabbit in the middle, looked at it for a while and moved it to another position, then nodded with satisfaction and counted again, "No. 15, No. 14, No. 13..."

After counting, Fang Yi stood up and said to Du Qianze, "Da Bai was probably picked up on May 5th."

May 5th was the day when Da Bai went missing, so Du Qianze felt a little relieved. It seemed that someone was watching him and trying to cause trouble for Da Bai.

"I saw you count the animals just now. Does Naima pick up an animal every day?" Although this had nothing to do with him, Du Qianze was still very curious.

"Not necessarily." Fang Yi pointed at the two cats standing together and said, "At least one, no limit on more. Naima's highest record is to bring back thirteen stray cats and dogs."

Naima was playing with a few puppies and kittens, lying on the ground and letting them step on him, without any impatience.

Du Qianze's previous doubts disappeared at this moment. To raise a dog as good as Naima, the owner must be a loving person.

"Thank you for saving Da Bai. When will you close? I may be busy at work these days and don't have time during the day. Can I come to see Da Bai at night?"

"Sure, we are open until midnight." Fang Yi replied without looking back, "You don't have to thank me. Just remember the cat food for the three cats. If you really want to thank me, just pay the medical bills on time."

"I will definitely pay on time."

Du Qianze stood in the backyard for a while and found that Fang Yi was busy putting dog food and didn't intend to pay attention to him, so he didn't intend to disturb Fang Yi. When he raised his foot to leave, a little rabbit suddenly jumped in front of him, still holding a vegetable leaf in its mouth.

Du Qianze had to change direction and continue walking. Who knew that after just two steps, the rabbit jumped in front of him again, looked up at him, and then stretched out its claws to scratch his trouser legs.

Du Qianze had only raised cats, never rabbits, and had no idea what the rabbit meant by doing this.

"Shop manager, this rabbit..."

Fang Yi didn't look back, but he knew which rabbit Du Qianze was talking about.

"This rabbit thinks this is its territory, and you have to hand in something when you leave. You can't leave without handing over your things, give this to it." Fang Yi handed two vegetable leaves to Du Qianze.

Du Qianze fed the two vegetable leaves to the rabbit. After the rabbit finished eating, it shook its ears and jumped aside to make way for Du Qianze.

Du Qianze was frightened. Was this really just a pet shop, not a place where demons and ghosts gather? There was Naima who could pick up cats and dogs, small animals who could queue up, and rabbits who rob people on the road. The small animals in this pet shop were all too smart.

When Du Qianze arrived at the shop, the food Hai Yang had ordered was already delivered, and the people there were eating. However, when they saw Du Qianze, they put down their food and gathered around to ask for his autograph.

After Du Qianze signed his name and answered a few questions from onlookers, he was finally able to leave.

"Hai Yang, how long has the missing cat notice been on the topic list?" Du Qianze parked his car downstairs and did not rush upstairs. Instead, he started chatting with Hai Yang in the car.

"Two days, and there are still people brushing it now." Hai Yang said with great satisfaction, "I didn't expect the missing cat notice to be so effective this time. Your Weibo fans have increased by more than 200,000."

"I want to hype it up again." Du Qianze said calmly.

"Still want to hype it up? That's fine. While the heat is still there last time, if the operation is done well this time, maybe it can still be on the topic list. I don't know if it will be so good this time. If it doesn't work, we have to hire internet trolls." Hearing that Du Qianze wanted to hype it up, Hai Yang felt that he had finally made it, and he could finally see some hope.
