Chapter 623


: A Tricky Problem
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Sun Xiaomeng had no intention of eavesdropping, but as soon as she heard
Love Lovely Pet,
she started to listen carefully. It was fair to say that the Love Lovely Pet Breeding Base was the main rival of Pets’ Home Breeding Base because Love Lovely Pet was much larger and didn’t care about Pets’ Home at all.
One of the reasons for Pets’ Home’s dismal business was Love Lovely Pet’s low prices.
Love Lovely Pet’s prices were more than 20% cheaper than Pets’ Home.
She had been wondering why the animals of Love Lovely Pet were sold at such low prices. Love Lovely Pet couldn’t possibly make profits like that.
Her attention was on Sheng Ke and Zhang Zian’s conversation. After hesitating several times, Sun Xiaomeng spoke up.
Sheng Ke wondered why a veterinarian would be so interested in a pet breeding base, but since she was a friend of Zhang Zian, he let her enter the conversation.

You mean, Love Lovely Pet has killed a customer’s dog?
she asked, frowning.
Sheng Ke couldn’t give an answer. The rich woman who reported the issue was very rude and unreasonable, and her son had cried incessantly, so neither of them provided Sheng Ke with the details he needed.
Zhang Zian told Sun Xiaomeng what happened that day. After, the rich woman’s son dislocated the Teacup Puppy’s back leg, Zhang Wanguo told the woman that he could set the broken bone just to make money. The rich woman believed him and took the Teacup Puppy to him.

He’s obviously practicing medicine without a license!
Sun Xiaomeng said firmly.
I don’t believe that a salesperson has a medical license.


That’s how he is.
Zhang Zian pointed out.
It has nothing to do with Love Lovely Pet.

Zhang Zian read Sun Xiaomeng’s mind. She wanted to take this opportunity to find out Love Lovely Pet’s weaknesses and sabotage them. If Love Lovely Pet kept dumping their pets, other pet breeding bases, like Pets’ Home, would have to close.
Not only did this matter pertain to Sun Xiaomeng and her family’s business, but it also pertained to Zhang Zian. If Love Lovely Pet dominated the market in Binhai City, they would certainly use their status to increase the prices of their pets, to do whatever they want.
Sheng Ke agreed with Zhang Zian.
Love Lovely Pet could fire the salesperson for his personal misconduct.


Captain Sheng, what can I do to help?
Zhang Zian asked. He would figure out what to do and how to do it after hearing Sheng Ke’s input.
He could help Sheng Ke, Sun Xiaomeng, and even himself by solving this problem. If Love Lovely Pet was illegally practicing medicine, even Zhang Zian’s late parents would agree with his decision to get involved. It was in everyone’s best interests if the chaos in the pet industry improved.
Sheng Ke glanced around to confirm that there were no relevant people in the shop. He replied,
The police officers, and the proper authorities, basically know nothing about animals. Even if Love Lovely Pet were committing crimes, we wouldn’t know. So, I’d like to ask you'
Sheng Ke glanced at Sun Xiaomeng and rephrased,
I’d like to ask both of you to help find evidence, if any, of Love Lovely Pet breaking the law.

Sheng Ke changed his tone and said,
If there isn’t any evidence to be found, we can at least provide some explanation to the woman who filed a report. The woman claimed that she spent almost 30,000 Yuan buying that Teacup Puppy, which died one day later. She insisted that we make a case for fraud.


I understand.
Zhang Zian exhaled.
Let me think about it.

Finding evidence was easier said than done. Unlike the dog market, Love Lovely Pet Breeding Base wasn’t easily accessible. Zhang Zian couldn’t just visit Love Lovely Pet and inquire about their business practices, could he?
Sun Xiaomeng bit her lip and frowned. Even if there was evidence anything illegal, it’d be hidden so well that only core personnel would know, and it’d be impossible to get them to expose such secrets.
Sheng Ke knew that this was a very tricky problem. The officers didn’t know anything about animals, so even if they had a search warrant for Love Lovely Pet, they wouldn’t be able to identify anything useful.
Sheng Ke was very optimistic about the resourceful Zhang Zian, who had helped solve a bizarre theft case of luxury watches and came up with the idea of using smoke cakes to poison the dogs for the Dog Warrior movie.
As for Sun Xiaomeng, she also knew that Zhang Zian had extensive knowledge about animals and was a man of action. He was the one who had helped her clients solve the dog-trapping cases during New Year’s Day. If anyone could find a way to deal with Love Lovely Pet, it’d be Zhang Zian.
If Love Lovely Pet were beat, her father’s breeding base would have better prospects, and the pet breeding industry in this region could return to its usual healthy competition instead of a corrupt price war.
Zhang Zian knew that Sheng Ke and Sun Xiaomeng were looking at him with high expectations, which added a tremendous pressure. However, he couldn’t come up with any good idea at the moment.
After contemplating for a long time, he sighed,
Captain Sheng, give me some time to think about it.


All right, this matter has nothing to do with the police. It’s just a personal request. If you don’t know what to do, don’t force yourself.
Sheng Ke was a bit disappointed. He stood from the chair and put the cap back on his head.
What Sheng Ke meant by
don’t force yourself
was that Zhang Zian shouldn’t violate any laws.
Zhang Zian understood, and he nodded.
I’ll call you if I think of a way.

Since he knew Sheng Ke was busy, Zhang Zian sent him on his way.

Please send my regards to your friends at the police dog training base,
Zhang Zian reminded Sheng Ke.
When Liu and Wang complete their missions, they’re welcome to bring Red Dragon and Prince over to play. Dinner is on me!

Sheng Ke laughed and said,
Okay, no problem. We’re a bit busy right now, perhaps we could visit your place after the Chinese New Year. Besides, it’s us who should buy you dinner. If it weren’t for you, a lot more police dogs would’ve been injured. See you later. Call me if you come up with anything!


Be careful, Captain Sheng.

Zhang Zian walked Sheng Ke out, then returned inside.
