After Lu Yiyun finished speaking, Zhang Zian and the shop employees were all speechless.
They did not know how the woman walked her dog, but huskies were not likely to hurt people normally. At most, it would have urinated and defecated everywhere. No matter what, it should not have been poisoned.
If the unfortunate person in this situation had been an honest person, it would have just ended there. After all, in these times, honest people always suffered from losses because they did not speak up. It happened that the woman was not the kind of person who was willing to give up, so things had become a big mess.
When the law could not solve the problem fairly, many things were distributed according to how much trouble people caused.
Zhang Zian thought about it carefully and told Wang Qian and Li Kun to take their puppies to walk in the green space every day. First, they should be fed until they were full before going there. Second, they should pay attention to whether there were any suspicious objects on the ground, so as to prevent the puppies eating it by mistake.
They did not have the heart to harm anyone, but they also did not have the heart to defend them.
The green space was desolate, mosquitoes were plentiful in summer, and nobody went there, but you could not defend against these things. Even if one had tremendous property, those that had fur did not count toward it—they might be gone at any time. If the puppies ate poison by mistake, he would return to the pre-liberation period overnight.
As for the Zhan Tian, it didn’t matter. It was a retired trump card police dog and had received strict anti-feeding training.
This was really just in case. In fact, the probability of accidents was very small because the green space was the base of stray cats. If any changes were made, Vladimir would know.
Zhang Zian cleaned up the place with the store employees. It was already past eight. Once the cleaning was done, he had Wang Qian and Li Kun go buy breakfast, and at that time, he got a notification on his phone again.
Wei Kang: Xiao Zhang, do you have time today?
Zhang Zian: Professor Wei, what is it? If it is about money, I have time all day long.
Wei Kang: Xiao Zhang, you’re joking again. It’s not about money. If you have time now, why don’t you make a trip down to my office to get to know the members of the expedition group and to do some preparation work before setting off.
Zhang Zian pretentiously checked his schedule for the day. It was empty as usual.
“Fina, I need to make a trip down to Binhai University to get to know the members of the expedition group. Are you going?” He went to the cat climbing rack, his arms drooping. He covered his crotch with both hands like a football player who made up a free-kick wall to prevent Snowy Lionet from attacking out of nowhere and asked Fina with his head up.
Fina lazily opened its eyes by a slit, coldly saying, “You’re asking me to lower myself to meet a few lowly beings?”
This answer was what Zhang Zian had expected.
Anyway, it did not matter. It would be better to wait until they reached Egypt to talk.
Wang Qian and Li Kun bought breakfast and came back, and Zhang Zian talked with them, then took his breakfast. He did not drive the car, but instead ate as he walked.
This time, Vladimir did not request to go. Binhai University was very near, and it had already gone there a long time ago.
When he walked to the housing area Lu Yiyun lived in, he took a look across the road, and saw that there was no one at the entrance. They had probably separated—those that had to go to work had gone to work, and those that had to go to school had gone to school. As to how this thing would be solved in the end, he would only be able to find out in the future.
He was on a familiar road, and it was an easy journey for him. When he reached Binhai University, he wolfed down the last few mouthfuls of his food and threw the wrapping into the garbage bin—in a place where there were so many girls, he needed to pay attention to his image. What if some white, rich, and beautiful girl fell for him?
Jiang Feifei had mentioned earlier that the stray cats of Binhai University had disappeared almost overnight. Today, Zhang Zian entered Binhai University again and as soon as he entered, he saw a stray cat lying lazily in the sun on the roof of the guard room at the school gate.
It met the eyes of Zhang Zian, then yawned and turned its head to stare at other people, uninterested.
This stray cat was probably a member of the Meow Meow Branch Organization of Binhai University, and it was its shift today. No matter who entered the university, they would not escape its eyes.
The campus was full of students, and he could not help but recall his youth. His biggest regret was that he’d spent all his time in the university playing games, and he hadn’t spent any time picking up girls…
Entering the central teaching building, he took the elevator directly to the floor where Wei Kang’s office was.
He had just approached the office and had yet to knock the door when he heard some chattering and happy talking sounds inside. It seemed that there were quite a lot of people there. There was an explosion of laughter once in a while.
The door was not closed tightly, and there was a small gap. He knocked twice, and pushed the door open to enter.
“Professor Wei, I’m here.”
The office instantly quieted down, and the speaking and laughing sounds stopped. A few pairs of eyes turned to look towards Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian also glanced at the people present. These were the companions who would spend time together for a period in the future.
Wei Kang was sitting at his desk, all smiles as he held a thermal flask and drank tea, not participating in the conversation and laughter of the young people.
The other four young people present were three men and one woman—a fat man who looked to be very loud, a tall, thin, shy boy with glasses, a medium-sized, muscular, dark boy who looked like he had been working out, and a girl with long hair that was like a shawl. There were freckles on her face.
When Wei Kang saw Zhang Zian, he put down his thermal cup, stood up, and said to the others, “Come, let me introduce you. This is the special adviser I mentioned to you for this expedition. His name is Zhang Zian.”
He introduced them to Zhang Zian: “These four are graduate students of mine. You guys can get to know each other. Don’t be too polite. Don’t be restrained.”
The freckled girl hurried to ask, “You’re the one who rears cats? Why didn’t you bring your cat over? We really wanted to see! We were still talking about that just now!”
Wei Kang coughed lightly, scolding her for being rude in his heart.
It was true that these four were all graduate students that he had brought with him. Among them, this freckled girl had just been recruited this year. Although her grades were acceptable, her main purpose was to balance the gender ratio.
Because Wei Kang often led the team to the field for expeditions, even many boys were tired and unwilling to take part in his postgraduate exams, let alone girls. It was rare that someone like the freckled girl was willing to take the initiative to apply for the exam. So she had been given preferential treatment in the process of applying for the exam and enrolling. Normally, Wei Kang also took care of her more.
In addition to that, her face was not unattractive, so the other three boys were like stars holding the moon. They would rush to do all of the chores for her, and she became the center of the four. After a long time she could not help becoming a bit spoiled and arrogant.
However, Zhang Zian was not one of Wei Kang’s graduate students, nor had he never seen a woman before. He did not care for her tone, but he was happy for Wei Kang, who had been worried about no one to apply for his graduate class. Now there were at least four.
As for her looks… He felt apologetic saying it, but after becoming used to Sihwa’s looks, it was really a bit of the feeling of “having sailed the seven seas, there was nothing new under the sun.”
“I’m the cat owner. As for the cat… It didn’t want to come, and I didn’t force it,” he said lightly.
