Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 28

Once they sat down, the officer hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. "I came today to update you on the case. Since you were involved, you should know. So, here's the thing—four of the kids have already been reunited with their families, and we're still working on the others. The good news is, despite being drugged, they're all going to be okay. With some rest, they'll fully recover."

Shen Luo nodded. "That's great news, honestly. A lucky outcome considering the situation."

"Yeah... but this whole case is tricky. If we put everything in the official report as it happened... well, let's just say it would attract a lot of attention."

You could say that Shen Luo and Wang Wei, along with their cats and dogs, basically went head-to-head with a human trafficking gang. Then the cops showed up, and boom—the case was cracked wide open. Most of the credit should've gone to Shen Luo and the hospital, but there was no way they could report things exactly as they happened.

Shen Luo got what he meant right away. If word got out, people would start thinking his cats and dogs were some kind of supernatural crime-fighting squad. That alone would attract a ton of unwanted attention, not to mention other potential problems. But the real issue was the human trafficking ring—they had their own networks and unspoken rules. If this whole thing got leaked, there was a real chance someone would come looking for revenge, and that was the last thing he wanted to deal with.

He quickly pieced everything together. The credit for the bust wouldn't really benefit him anyway. The officers might get promotions and bonuses, but his hospital? Not so much.

"Got it. You don't have to worry about me. I'm not looking to be in the spotlight. I only did this to help find the kids—nothing else really matters." Shen Luo flashed a polite smile.

Hearing that, the officer let out a sigh of relief. "Knew you were a reasonable guy. That makes things much easier. But don't worry, the department is still discussing how to reward you guys! You won't get public recognition, but that doesn't mean you should walk away empty-handed, right?"

That was more like it. Shen Luo finally felt a little better. "Sounds fair. My cats and dogs are expecting a feast, you know!"

The officer clearly hadn't expected him to accept so quickly. Most people would at least pretend to decline first...

"Uh... right, haha... I'll make sure to pass that along to the higher-ups. You can count on it."

"Thanks for that, and thanks for coming all the way here."

With their understanding settled, everything else was just small talk. After a bit more casual conversation, Shen Luo finally saw the officer out.

As soon as the officer walked away, Shen Luo finally let out a breath. Even though he knew that the hospital and the animals couldn't exactly take credit for what happened, after that intense fight—where he almost lost his life—he still felt a little uneasy about it.

Xiao Chuan, seeing his expression, took a quick break to check in on him. After hearing the whole story, he patted Shen Luo on the shoulder. "This is the best outcome. It's better to keep a low profile."

Shen Luo nodded. He could only hope that the police department would at least acknowledge their efforts and give them a decent reward.

After sulking for a bit, he got too busy to dwell on it any longer.

With the cats and dogs recovering from their injuries, the pet hospital had been unusually quiet for the past two days.

White Cloud was healing well, with Black Earth sticking by his side every day, licking him nonstop. He probably enjoyed this kind of pampered life.

Ah Fei had fought like a beast that night, completely changing Shen Luo's impression of her. But she was still the same—cool and aloof, always chasing other cats around for a fight, clearly not the type to handle compliments well.

But after that child trafficking gang was taken down, it even made the news. The police covered it up so flawlessly that no one suspected a thing.

Two days later, that same officer showed up again, this time bringing a reward—20,000 yuan in cash.

"This is just a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it."

Shen Luo didn't hesitate at all and took it right away. After covering medical expenses and getting some extra nourishment for the animals, there wasn't much left.

By now, the police officer had gotten used to how Shen Luo operated, so he wasn't surprised anymore. Seeing that Shen Luo was reasonable and easy to talk to, he stuck around for a chat. That's when he found out that the hospital also took in stray animals.

"This is actually a good thing. You've worked hard. You wouldn't believe the kind of weird cases we get at the station—people bringing in injured animals they found, pet owners asking us to settle fights between their pets... The list goes on and on."

Seeing that the police officer was in a chatty mood, Shen Luo casually poured him a glass of water. "Sounds like your job is pretty interesting."

"Interesting? I'm usually quite tired when I'm on duty."

They ended up chatting for almost an hour before the police officer finally took his leave.

With the 20,000 yuan in hand, Shen Luo was in a great mood. He decided to treat everyone to a feast—especially the ones who had fought the hardest.

While he was busy in the kitchen, Xiao Chuan wasn't just standing around either—he was helping out on the side.

"Boss, your cooking skills are good. I'm drooling just looking at it."

Shen Luo smirked. "Then go ahead and keep drooling."

Xiao Chuan smiled. "I wouldn't dare fight them for food. It always looks like there's a lot, but once it's divided up, it's barely anything."

"Glad you know your place."

Shen Luo mixed the dough, adding a bunch of nutritional supplements before squeezing the soft, mushy mixture onto a baking tray and sliding it into the oven.

"What are you making?"

"Just some homemade biscuits. Both the cats and dogs can eat them. It's my special recipe—way better than store-bought food, plus it saves money. But I don't have the time or energy to make them often, so it's just an occasional treat."

Xiao Chuan chuckled. "Gotta admit, you've got some skills."

Shen Luo couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Just as they were preparing the feast, a huge dog suddenly barged in, howling loudly. Chasing after it was a stunning woman in ten-centimeter high heels, struggling to hold it back.
