Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 22

They hadn't entered the suburban highway yet, so there was no need to worry about speed. The sky was already darkening, and the streetlights were beginning to glow dimly.

At that moment, Xiao Chuan's call came in again. He first informed Shen Luo that the police had arrived, then asked how things were on their end.

Shen Luo said, "We are driving to the suburbs, and there are no new clues for the time being."

Xiao Chuan responded and said, "I will negotiate with the police."

Shen Luo glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Ethan, who had previously disappeared, had reappeared. He quickly told Wang Wei to find a spot to pull over.

Ethan jumped into the van, panting heavily, and barked a few times. Shen Luo patted his head, signaling that he understood.

"That car did pass by here. I'll open the back door and let the cats and dogs get in."

After the cats and dogs got in the van, they couldn't wait to meow and bark. Shen Luo asked them to come one by one.

Because cats and dogs couldn't read, they were not very sensitive to license plate information, so the information collected from nearby wild cats and dogs was not very useful. They only know the general direction of people.

Wang Wei drove for more than half an hour according to Shen Luo's instructions. The speed was not fast, far behind the speed of the human traffickers. Shen Luo was anxious, but he didn't dare to give blind instructions without accurate information.

When the car was about to enter the suburban highway, Big Horn flew in and hit Shen Luo, who simply covered his face. If it hadn't been for the urgent matters at hand, Shen Luo would have slapped him away long ago.

Big Horn was communicating with birds, whose range of activity was much larger than that of cats and dogs. It was also evening, when birds were returning to their nests, so many birds flew some distance.

After sorting through the messy information sent from Big Horn's phone, Shen Luo finally figured out where the Santana was headed.

"Take Jingbei Road, turn right at the intersection onto Hualun Third Road, then get on Mihua Road. After that, it's the road leading to Yuxiang County."

Wang Wei quickly started the car and sped forward at full speed.

Although he was surprised how Shen Luo knew all this, it was not the right time to ask about it.

The further the car drove, the narrower the road became, the sparser the streetlights became, and it became more and more difficult to drive. When it got to the village road, the road was still paved with sand, and you could hear a very clear rustling sound when driving.

"These bastards are really good at running. They actually ran here." Wang Wei cursed.

Shen Luo wasn't surprised—it made perfect sense. If someone stole a child, they would obviously want to hide. The city was full of surveillance cameras, and a single careless move could get them caught. Escaping to a more remote place was the logical choice.

A bad feeling crept over him.

"This is probably the work of a gang," Shen Luo said, staring into the dark night.

While steering, Wang Wei asked, "How do you know?"

"If there are only one or two children, why hide in such a remote place? In the city, it's normal for everyone to have one or two children, right? Unless this time they have a lot of children, in order to facilitate management and hide, they took the trouble to run to such a remote countryside."

Calculating the time, the car had been running for more than two hours.

Wang Wei also felt that it made sense. If they stayed in the city and the child started crying, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs would hear it. Aside from a kindergarten or a children's hospital, having multiple kids appear at once would definitely raise suspicion. So, the only choice was to hide in a remote rural area.

Wang Wei said, "Then we'd better be ready for a gang fight."

Shen Luo nodded and added, "Don't worry too much. We've got a big team too, don't we?"

Wang Wei didn't react for a moment. "Huh? Oh, them? How much help could they really be?" Clearly, he wasn't convinced. Even though he took care of these animals every day and was used to them biting and scratching people, their actual combat effectiveness was questionable.

Shen Luo chuckled, unbothered. It was hard for most people to believe that pets could have real firepower.

The car had been driving for quite a while. During the ride, Shen Luo checked in with Xiao Chuan. When they finally saw faint lights in the distance, he told Wang Wei to slow down.

About two hundred meters away, they stopped the car.

In the stillness of the night, the sound of the engine was still noticeable.

After the van came to a stop, everyone had no choice but to proceed on foot.

Shen Luo opened the van door, and the cats and dogs rushed out in a swarm, with Big Horn flying out as well.

What surprised Wang Wei the most was that none of the cats or dogs made a sound. Apart from the soft thuds of their paws hitting the ground, they moved in complete silence.

Even though he had been in the pet hospital for so long, Wang Wei had never seen such a strange situation, and he was even more surprised.

But at this time, there was no time to think about it, and his attention was mainly focused on that side.

There were wild mountains and wilderness around here, which could be said to be uninhabited. Although there was such a road that could be driven, there were not many people here. And the place where they hid was an old and dilapidated house. Someone had lived here before, and may have moved away later.

In this dark place, unlike in the city where there were light sources everywhere, nothing could be seen with the eyes, so Shen Luo relied on Ethan to pull forward, and Wang Wei led another dog.

The two people and a group of cats and dogs slowly approached the dilapidated house.

The house looked quite big, but only two windows had lights coming out, and they looked more like candles than electric lights. It was not convenient to stay here, there was no water or electricity, and there were mosquitoes. These people were really fighting for money.

They squeaked through the grass outside. Fortunately, it was autumn now, and the weeds began to wither. No one could grow taller than the weeds, otherwise it would be difficult to move forward.

After approaching the house, Shen Luo and Wang Wei both leaned on the window to look inside.
