CHAPTER 357: CHAPTER 357: A SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT

Tuanzi looked at her dear big brother with eyes full of longing.

"How is it? How is it?"

Gu Cheng: "Not much."

"How could it be?"

Tuanzi boasted, "Miaomiao is still very powerful, you should trust Miaomiao’s abilities."

She leaned in closely.

Seeing Gu Cheng still silent, she changed her approach, "Miaomiao knows you’re worried about her, afraid she’ll be in danger. It’s okay, big senior brother will also go. He’ll be the main force, Miaomiao will just assist."

The Honest System came online.

[Ancient Martial System: I think your big senior brother might not want to be the main force]

Tuanzi made a ’humming’ sound in her mind.

Gu Cheng lifted Tuanzi up and held her in his arms, seeing her eyes darting around, he knew she was planning something small.

Would she really just be content to assist if let out?

"It’s not because of that."

"Then why?"

Tuanzi puffed up her cheeks, "Miaomiao just wants to go and help."

"Are you sure he needs help?"

"Huh?"

Gu Cheng held the restless Tuanzi and explained carefully.

"He’s on official business. Sometimes handling a matter doesn’t just require pure force. Maybe they don’t need your help, going over might just be adding to the chaos, right?"

Tuanzi furrowed her brows and thought carefully, then nodded her little head.

"Seems like it."

"Besides, if you go to help, you’re considered external support. He trusts your skills, but do his colleagues, the people from Yun City, trust you? Even if they trust, would they be willing to let a five-year-old child take risks?"

This isn’t like catching poachers in the mountains.

Tuanzi was the first to discover and take down the poachers, which was an act of bravery. Even if she just reported the discovery without catching them, the forest police would still be grateful to her.

Conversely, Si Huai dealing with cross-provincial cases is likely major, with wide implications, facing vicious criminals. Si Huai and his colleagues definitely don’t want to involve innocent civilians.

Moreover, applying for external support is a complex process. He doesn’t wish for his sister’s kind heart to delay Si Huai’s career, so he explained thoroughly.

Luckily, Tuanzi listened.

Her little mind didn’t hold too much, seeing Si Huai hurriedly looking for cases in a strange city, she wanted to help.

If it wasn’t her cousin handling the mountain case, but someone else she recognized as a capable person, she would actually help as well.

The heart for chivalry and righteousness yearned to act, it was becoming her instinct.

"Big brother is right," Tuanzi said, hugging her little arms and nodding her little head, "Can’t cause trouble. Miaomiao didn’t think the adult world was this complicated."

Gu Cheng gently patted her little head in amusement.

"Then, what if they actively seek Miaomiao’s help?"

Tuanzi leaned in closely again.

"That would be okay."

Tuanzi immediately let out a cheer, trying to take things further, she glanced at Gu Cheng’s expression and quickly said, "They all don’t know Miaomiao is here, so they can’t apply for support. How about we let the forest police know, so cousin and his team know we’re here?"

Generally, for mountain searches like this, local forest police assistance is needed.

No one can guarantee 100% knowledge of a mountain, but local forest police can help avoid unnecessary detours.

Gu Cheng thought about it, then under Tuanzi’s anxious gaze, nodded.

Having experienced Gu Che’s situation, he also realized strict control is not the best form of protection.

Besides, his sister has already proved her prowess with facts.

Tuanzi cheered again, eager to immediately find the forest police.

Faced with Tuanzi’s voluntary offering of help, the forest police welcomed it and said they would notify Si Huai and others, but whether they would apply for external support would be up to them.

Moreover, Si Huai and the others hadn’t descended the mountain yet, so Tuanzi could only wait for news in the reception area.

Tuanzi could only return to the hostel to study, learning until almost ten, when everyone dispersed for rest. She still didn’t get the request for help.

Lying in bed, Tuanzi begged the system to see what Si Huai and others were doing.

"We aren’t bad guys, just looking a bit. Besides, if you don’t say anything, and I don’t say anything, no one will know."

The system seemed afraid, and could only start searching, quickly finding Si Huai and a few others, marking them on a map with a red dot.

Tuanzi looked at the map in her mind, noticing Si Huai and others had delved deep into the mountain, unable to descend any time soon.

"They’re not moving either, are they in ambush?"

She was an ambush expert!

But regardless of how eager she felt, she had promised her big brother.

[Ancient Martial System: Not exactly still, exhibiting small movements, seemingly searching for something. Currently, besides them, there are no other suspicious people in the area.]

The system leaned towards the belief that Si Huai and others were investigating, not needing Tuanzi’s help.

Tuanzi’s skills were great for catching bad guys, but scene examination was a professional domain.

"Fine then."

Tuanzi could only lay back, mumbling softly before closing her eyes and falling asleep quickly.

The next day, she woke up early, skipped homework, directly went to find the forest police without speaking, gazing expectantly with her big dark eyes at the now familiar group.

One of them scratched their head, "They haven’t come down yet, we didn’t get a chance to mention it."

Tuanzi instantly felt deflated.

These days, trying to do good deeds isn’t easy!

She gloomily followed everyone up the mountain, occasionally feeling the impulse to sneak over for a look but held back in fear of disrupting the scene.

This time, everyone moved in two large groups.

Forester Li was responsible for leading their group and told them two pieces of good news.

"Experts said that the likelihood of the Gongtong surviving is very high."

Everyone cheered.

Tuanzi also clapped excitably, momentarily forgetting her previous frustration.

She urged, "Uncle, what’s the other good news?"

Forester Li smiled, "The restaurant owner who collaborated with those two poachers was also caught, there were three of them."

What he didn’t say was that he witnessed the scene, noticing several diners trying to flee when the forest police barged in.

With his rich experience, he quickly judged that these people knew they were eating wild game; that was why they were afraid and wanted to run. Trade in such matters, sometimes it’s hard to determine whether it was the buyer who paid high prices coaxing the seller, or the seller using it as a hype to attract buyers.

Unfortunately, while those owners would be punished, these diners could easily escape if they denied involvement in poaching. They might one day go to another restaurant again or raise high bids convincing sellers to collect wild game.

The guests and staff were even happier.

Although they had come to the mountain patrol to make a show, truly participating and finding their actions meaningful brought a sense of accomplishment entirely different from doing other things.

In fact, such a sense of accomplishment prompted a desire to do even more.
