CHAPTER 326: CHAPTER 326: GRUMBLING AND CURSING

After the rescue station team went up the mountain, they began to relocate the injured mother wolf.

The little wolf cub was also among those being moved.

A few kids watched the little wolf cub with reluctance.

"Can we take care of it?" Yang Heng looked eagerly.

Jin Chunting had already examined this wolf cub. Other than being hungry for too long, it had no issues, showing that it had been well protected by its mother.

Taking care of a healthy wolf cub isn’t particularly difficult, but he had no decision-making power, and the rescue station staff were also in a dilemma.

Wu Ti patted Wu Yu, who was also reluctant. "We still have to patrol the mountain, do you want it to follow us up the mountain? It’s just a baby."

The baby wolf cub let out a low "awoo," as if in agreement.

The kids could only wave goodbye with pouting mouths.

Tuanzi encouraged everyone, "The rescue station isn’t far from here, after we finish patrolling the mountain, we can visit them together!"

"If we work hard and finish the patrol early, we can see them soon."

The kids were filled with enthusiasm and didn’t rest. "Let’s go, continue the patrol!"

"Awoo awoo!" Yang Heng even mimicked a wolf howl.

He really liked that little wolf cub, but unfortunately, it always snarled at him. Perhaps if he visited the rescue station a few more times, the wolf cub might be willing to be friends with him?

The little boy, with innocent hope, was filled with determination and tried to pull Wu Yu along with him.

Wu Yu had already cleverly run over to Tuanzi’s side.

"I’m going with you all."

None of the three little girls were as noisy as Yang Heng.

Yang Heng, having no audience, chased over in a huff, wanting to join in as well.

Tuanzi didn’t mind at all.

"Let’s go together then, but don’t fall behind, and don’t get distracted by furry animals and fall down again."

Wen Jing folded her arms and turned her head, "Who would be so absorbed in animals that they’d fall over!"

Zhou Xiangshang: "I’ll be careful, I won’t set a bad example for the viewers."

Yang Heng shouted loudly, "It definitely wasn’t me, I didn’t set a bad example, Yu, you can attest for me, Yu, why aren’t you saying anything? Yu?"

Wu Yu expressionlessly: "Yu is no more."

He should have known, once he ran over, Yang Heng would surely follow.

Several viewers laughed so hard they cried, taking screenshots and making Wu Yu’s little face into a ’hopeless expression’ meme.

Even Wu Ti was amused by his son’s expression.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened during the afternoon patrol, which left the guests relieved, descending the mountain in somewhat relaxed spirits. Thinking of the food at the foot of the mountain and the wolf cub at the rescue station, they all quickened their pace.

An unknown person seemed to realize the resistance from netizens and no longer made wasteful actions. The livestream gradually returned to normal, and the viewers could chat normally.

[Thankfully nothing happened, otherwise, I would’ve thought there were poachers everywhere]

[There really are poachers everywhere, it’s just that we usually don’t pay attention, so we’re not aware]

[How could a wolf survive the herd attack of wildebeests? Did the program group deliberately find an injured wolf for ratings?]

[Finally someone says it, I also think it’s unusual for wolves to show up here. Are poachers that dumb, not hiding what they catch?]

It wasn’t long before some ’clever’ individuals expressed very particular opinions, immediately drawing attention.

[What kind of person you are determines how you see others]

[I’ll name names directly, those people earlier, do you think the Forestry Bureau would allow the program group to do such a thing?]

[No need to argue with them, they’ll surely claim the Forestry Bureau staged a sacrifice of a wolf to draw attention to forest conservation]

[Strongly suggest the program group sues these nonsense-sayers]

[The program group probably won’t do it, no time or energy, plus it hasn’t caused widespread impact]

Director Chen was anxious the whole time, but as soon as the livestream calmed down, he saw these conspiracy theories and almost fainted in anger.

"Would I be the type to harm wildlife for ratings?"

At the very least, they’re a public service program. If they did that, they’d be done in the industry. Besides, are the people from the Forestry Bureau blind? Can’t they see?

Director Chen cursed under his breath while posting a pinned comment. The gist was that discovering the injured wolf was an accident, the program would never harm wildlife for high ratings, and if rumors reached a certain heat, the program group would certainly sue.

He understood now, some people always think there’s no responsibility for speaking online. Alternatively, they believe the party involved lacks the time and energy to sue. Litigation, after all, is a lengthy process that wears down time and willpower.

So he decided to take action to show everyone that he definitely has the energy for it, and that he can’t bear being wronged after dedicating himself to his work!

Once the pinned comment went up, those conspiracy theorists fell silent immediately.

They felt wronged too, going to the program’s super-topic to complain, saying they were just discussing a possibility, why such a big fuss? Could it be a guilty conscience for fear of being criticized? Only a clear person wouldn’t fear being talked about.

Rational netizens immediately clapped back.

The assistant advised the fuming Director Chen, "You should ’respect’ species diversity."

Director Chen retorted, "Their heads aren’t filled with water; it’s mud, utterly foul!"

Tuanzi just finished eating and was leisurely strolling to digest.

Once her friends finished eating, they were going to the rescue station together.

As she strolled along, she caught sight of the director excitedly saying something and eagerly moved closer to listen openly.

"Mud?"

"Ew," Tuanzi showed a look of disgust, "Filthy."

[Ancient Martial System: Yes, some people have dirty hearts]

Tuanzi was bewildered.

"Weren’t we talking about mud? How did it become about someone’s heart?"

[Ancient Martial System: I think your brother is on a phone call]

Tuanzi’s attention shifted immediately.

She quickly scanned the area and soon found Jin Chunting on the phone.

Since no camera crew was around, she tiptoed closer.

Jin Chunting didn’t speak, facing away from her, but she sensed a suppression.

Instead, the voice from the phone came through, an old voice, angrily criticizing Jin Chunting for ignoring advice and daring to join the program.

The other side spoke breathlessly, then yelled, "Say something!"

Jin Chunting: "I can stay unexposed, but I have to join this program. I’m rescuing animals."

"They are just beasts, what’s worth rescuing?"

Hearing the word ’beast,’ Jin Chunting’s pupils trembled a bit.

He didn’t explain further because he knew his grandfather would never agree with his views.

The person on the phone cursed a few more times, Jin Chunting listening silently, not hanging up. After all, if he hung up, the other would stew in anger and might end up back in the hospital.

Openly listening, Tuanzi was already agitated.

What kind of person is this, how can they scold their grandson like that?

And she thought her cousin did great, being super gentle and kind-hearted.

The more she thought, the more dissatisfied she became. Tuanzi zipped over, snatched the phone, and flew to a more distant spot.

Taking advantage of Jin Chunting needing time to come over, she quickly shouted to the person on the phone, "You’re too stubborn, what’s wrong with showing your face? People have faces to show them! Do you go out with your face covered?"

The person on the other end paused.

Tuanzi ferociously said, "What’s wrong with rescuing animals, should we go save people worse than beasts?"

She threatened, "If you scold Chunting Brother again, I’ll scold you!"
