There was a saying, “what you hear can’t compare to seeing it yourself.” Zhang Zian put the young poodle’s collar aside after removing the memory card from its camera. Many phones nowadays no longer had the option to insert a memory card in, and the screen would be too small for everyone to watch. So, Zhang Zian inserted the memory card into a network set-top box.
The travel-worn Old Time Tea and Famous were both tired and hungry. Famous was especially tired because it had to carry the puppy, its mother, and Old Time Tea on its back during the return trip. If a kitten or puppy fell behind, Famous would pick them up and carry them for a while.
After escaping Love Lovely Pets Breeding Base, they had two options. The first was to let the animals flee in all directions. The second was to bring the animals into the city. The former would’ve been easier on the two of them, but considering that the animals had lived in cages since birth, their chances of surviving was worrisome. The first option would do them more harm than good.
After taking everything into consideration, Famous and Old Time Tea decided to bring them all into the city before going separate ways.
To bring the animals into the city meant that everyone had to get together before they started their trek, and there was a big risk of getting caught. So, Famous and Old Time Tea had set up multiple diversions to lead any pursuers in the wrong direction, which only made the two of them even more exhausted.
Zhang Zian turned on the television and used the set-top box to play the file.
It was going fine, until Famous moved. The film started to shake uncontrollably, worse than low budget films recorded with handheld cameras. At least the image was clear when everything was still and the infrared night vision allowed all the details to be seen.
Zhang Zian saw the inside of Love Lovely Pets Breeding Base, and with it, the truth of the animals being treated like breeding machines was revealed. Honestly, it didn’t surprise him. It wouldn’t have been possible for them to lower costs otherwise. Their actions were unjustifiable and unethical, yet not illegal. They could only hope for the country to quickly produce laws that’ll regulate such issues, to prevent these acts from ever happening again.
As Famous and Old Time Tea went deeper into the base, Zhang Zian saw them follow the chef who delivered the meals. Soon, they were outside the room that Zhang Wanguo and his colleagues were in. Through the window, they could clearly see all the unethical activities taking place.
The camera also came with a microphone, and although there was glass between them, it was still able to record crucial information. Zhang Wanguo described the effects of lipolytic solution and how he knew it was illegal to administer the solution for private use, but still went ahead in doing so.
The video ended there, Famous and Old Time Tea’s heroic rescue wasn’t recorded.
The recording was sufficient evidence of Love Lovely Pets illegal practices. Not only were they cheating their customers, they were also purchasing, formulating and using illegal drugs. As long as the video was given to Sheng Ke, Love Lovely Pets was going to be in serious trouble. Actually, they already were in serious trouble due to most of their animals escaping, so the video will just make their current situation worse.
Zhang Zian replayed the video, this time he paid attention to the details, if any, that would expose Famous and Old Time Tea’s identities. If there were any, they’d have to be edited out. As the camera was attached to Famous’s neck, it’s heavy breathing could be heard throughout the whole video. Add in the fact that the video was shot from a low angle, and it was easy for anyone watching to guess that the camera was attached to an animal.
It made it hard for Zhang Zian to simply hand over the video to Sheng Ke. If Love Lovely Pets started asking questions, he might be dragged into the mess.
“What to do?”
Zhang Zian temporarily disregarded the issue since it wasn’t urgent. He brought the female dog and the puppy to the washing area, put on a waterproof apron and disposable rubber glove before giving them a shower.
The two poodles had probably never showered. The clear water soon turned dirty, full of mud, fur, dead insects, food scraps, and its own waste. Even after a few minutes, she still wasn’t clean.
Both dogs stood still, letting Zhang Zian rinse them with the showerhead. Even if the puppy wanted to move around and play, it’d be scolded by the mother.
Once the water started running a bit clearer, Zhang Zian applied shampoo meant for dogs to their fur and combed through it.
The puppy’s fur was okay, but the mother’s fur was so matted, he couldn’t use his hands to manage it, much less with a comb. The only option was to cut the knots out since combing the fur would only cause pain.
Zhang Zian had to apply shampoo three times before he could blow dry them, revealing their true appearance.
The mother’s fur was uneven, it’ll take some time for it to grow back. If you left her on the streets, no one would pick her up.
The puppy’s fur used to be stuck to its body, but now its fur was fluffy and smelled good. Since it was smaller than the usual puppy, it was safe to say that it’ll most likely be popular among the young ladies.
Zhang Zian took off his apron and hung it to dry outside. He found a big dog kennel for both of them to settle down in.
It took some time to bathe the two dogs, so the exhausted Famous and Old Time Tea had already gone to bed.
Zhang Zian accessed Weibo on his mobile phone.
The self-righteous girl left an impression on Zhang Zian. He thought there would be quite a number of people like her on Weibo.
Zhang Zian applied for a Weibo account. He posted a blog article titled, “Abuse, Cold-Hearted Breeding, and Administration of Illegal Drugs: Who Can Save These Poor Animals?” In the post, he denounced Love Lovely Pets for their animal abuse, called all pet lovers to condemn the corrupt organization, and attached the video at the end for proof.
He proofread the post, and tagged a few animal-loving users on Weibo. They were mouthpieces of several different adoption organizations, so getting their assistance in upholding justice for the animals would only benefit them. That’s what you call fighting poison with poison, a villain can only be taken care of by another villain.
