**Chapter 557: Tuanzi: Knowledge Changes Fate!**
Inside the Panda House, the Staff stood nearby holding the extension phone, listening to Chi Feichi talk to the giant panda and the giant panda roaring back in a seemingly proper manner. They couldn't help but smile. Inadvertently looking up, they saw Tuanzi's mouth curled up, as if it were smiling. Upon closer inspection, they realized Tuanzi was just planning to open its mouth, feeling doubt in their heart.
Weird...
Could it be that he was overthinking?
Correct, he definitely was overthinking. How could a giant panda smile like a human?
That smile looked so evil and playful.
Tuanzi felt a sense of relief in its heart. Fortunately, it reacted quickly and continued roaring into the phone, "Master, that's it, I'm going to look at a book."
"Uh-huh, okay."
Tuanzi hugged the bamboo and moved to a magazine, lowering its head to look at the magazine, indicating it was okay to hang up the phone.
The Staff chatted with Chi Feichi for a couple more sentences about Tuanzi's recent situation before hanging up the phone.
In the taxi back to Tokyo, Chi Feichi looked at his mobile phone, lost in thought.
Has Tuanzi been this enthusiastic about learning recently?
It didn't even chatter with him just to look at a book?
Wrong, very wrong...
...
The Zoo, Panda House.
Tuanzi patiently lowered its head and looked at the magazine.
The 'giant panda who loves to read' was already famous, and many people came to watch the giant panda.
Even though Tuanzi was just looking at a magazine, there were still people who watched with great interest.
Until closing time, Tuanzi gnawed on bamboo, watched people clean, watched people leave, and waited until the sky turned black. It silently dragged the bamboo back into a Small Bamboo House.
The Small Bamboo House wasn't big, but the Surveillance Room outside the Panda House couldn't capture the situation inside.
Tuanzi tilted its head and listened to the Bamboo House Wall Surface. After many people passed by outside, it poked the Bamboo House Wall Surface with its claw, pushed down a bamboo panel, squeezed out from the crack, went to the House where the Staff stayed in the back, probed around, ran to the Room at the End of the Corridor, and used its claw to plug two plugs into the socket.
Too many machines couldn't be connected here, otherwise, it would short circuit and burn the electric wire...
The new Zookeeper who had just arrived a month ago had been reminded of this.
Indeed, electric light flashed from the socket, and black smoke quickly appeared.
Tuanzi immediately turned around and ran away, squeezed back through the hole in the Bamboo House, put the Bamboo House Wall Panel back in place, and lay lazily in the Bamboo House.
Okay, Surveillance Room cut off~!
Not long after, a male Zookeeper came in with a flashlight, talking on the phone, "Not sure, the power outage was sudden. I guess it's a circuit problem. I'll have someone come for maintenance tomorrow... Don't worry, it won't impact opening tomorrow. If the circuit isn't repaired before opening tomorrow, I'll go to the Warehouse to find the generator... Uh-huh, I'll check on Tuanzi, that's it."
Tuanzi tilted its head to look towards the male Zookeeper squatting Outside the Bamboo House, its eyes half-closed and filled with confusion.
The male Zookeeper quickly lowered his voice, "Sorry, did I disturb your rest? The power is out, I came to check on you. You sleep well, and I won't bother you."
Tuanzi lazily turned its head away, its belly moving with its breath.
The male Zookeeper: "..."
So cute, I really want to pet it!
But...
Never mind, can't disturb Tuanzi's rest.
Their Tuanzi was famously irritable, a giant panda with a specially assigned Psychologist, seemingly only this one here.
If Tuanzi's rest was disturbed and it became irritable, he wouldn't be able to coax it.
After the male Zookeeper left, Tuanzi lazily sat up again, looking at the moonlight shining through the Glass Window Outside the Small Bamboo House. It patiently waited for over ten minutes before slipping to the Glass Observation Window, lying down at the Edge Corner, using its claw to pull open the lock, then pulling open the glass, squeezing, squeezing, squeezing... and getting outside.
The Zoo was completely silent, the Street Lamps shone on the Small Path, and there wasn't a single figure.
In the distance, the Duty Room at the Main Entrance was lit, and the sound of a television playing a program faintly came through.
Tuanzi immediately became energetic. It didn't need to look at the road signs at all and ran towards the Restroom. It climbed over the Restroom Wall, and ran past the Vicinity of Monkey Mountain.
Its speed was like a chasing wind teenager!
A small monkey, half-asleep, opened its eyes and saw a black and white round creature 'whoosh' past Outside the Glass Observation Window. It seemed to also see the creature grinning, revealing terrifying white teeth, which was very scary.
But when it rubbed its eyes and sat up, it seemed like nothing was there.
Was I dreaming just now?
Never mind, continue to sleep.
Tuanzi had already climbed a high tree in a few moves, flipped over the Wall, and looked at the Road Outside, its heart surging.
Ahhh!
Finally out.
The people in the Hometown were correct, knowledge changes fate.
Master was also correct, coming to This Place, it was indeed more convenient to learn the language here.
Tuanzi strongly suppressed the impulse to howl two or three times, looked up at the moon, distinguished the direction a bit, its eyes lit up, and it quickly ran madly towards one direction...
'Beihu Town, here I come...'
Huh?
Tuanzi suddenly braked, rolled a bit, stopped its body from rushing forward, and turned its head to sniff the smell by the Roadside.
Sniff again, sniff, sniff...
It chased all the way in another direction and fell into deep thought.
It's Master's smell.
Master passed by The Zoo before and went to other places... it's very possible he's not home?
Then what's the purpose of it going to Beihu Town?
Towards the new direction, depart.
'Master, I'm coming!'
...
On a secluded Road by the River, a black Porsche 356A and a black Zelas were parked by the Roadside.
Three men wearing black clothes stood by the Car, talking.
"Too many explosives, not convenient to transport back to Tokyo, Chiba Prefecture..."
Gin handed an Envelope to Chi Feichi, "The Address and Warehouse Key are Inside."
Chi Feichi received the Envelope, opened it, looked at the paper strip and key inside, put the Key into his Pocket, took out a box of matches, took out one and struck it, burning the paper together with the Envelope.
He just came to find Gin and Vodka tonight, he didn't disguise.
He went to Boston on a 'Business Trip', and Gin was in charge of hijacking Wataru Ichiro's batch of explosives in Japan.
Before they finished over there, things here were already handled. He came over tonight to get his share.
"Belmode helped with this action..." Vodka was about to say something when he was interrupted by a roaring sound.
"Woo—"
A motorcycle roared and drove to the Vicinity, braking to a stop.
Belmode wore a tight black clothes, with a black trench coat with white collar fur outside. After getting off the motorcycle, she took off her helmet, "Am I late?"
"Not late, we and Raki came early," Vodka replied, then explained to Chi Feichi, "Belmode disguised as that Guy Sarutari, and took our personnel to directly load the explosives onto the fishing boat and take them away. It didn't take much time..."
"So I have a share," Belmode smiled and received the Envelope Gin handed to her, "But I won't compete with you for the big share. It's enough if it can be used to handle some matters when necessary."
"Casual." Chi Feichi threw the Envelope, which had burned to the End, into the River.
Understood, tonight was for collective dividing loot.
Anyway, there were a lot of explosives in this batch, and it didn't matter to give Belmode a bit.
Belmode also opened the Envelope, looked at the paper strip inside, put the Key away, and while lighting a cigarette, by the way, burned the Envelope and paper strip as well.
Gin leaned against the Car Door and looked, "Belmode, is your investigation going smoothly?"
Belmode stared at the burning Envelope, a trace of a smile on her mouth, "After all, they are people who are hidden. It's a bit troublesome to find them, but it's still going smoothly. Don't rush, slow excavation is a kind of joy..."
Gin lit a cigarette. He always felt that the people around him were a group of psychologically twisted Guys. He sneered, "Hmph! Don't be so slow that you let them run away."
"Have a bit of confidence in me!" Belmode also threw the Envelope, which had burned to the End, into the River.
Vodka realized and said, "So you were talking about Sherry, that Traitor!"
Chi Feichi: "..."
Vodka just realized now?
Gin: "..."
He's tired! Don't ask why.
Belmode looked at Vodka, and ultimately didn't say anything, looking towards Chi Feichi, "Want to help?"
"I have other things." Chi Feichi indicated he was busy.
Moreover, His Mom was coming to Japan, and The Boss also knew about it. It was considered giving him a holiday, allowing him the opportunity to contact Sawada Hiroki, so he shouldn't care about other things.
Belmode's tone deliberately carried a hint of helplessness, "Okay, your matters are really..."
"Roar!"
A roaring sound suddenly came from the End of the Road.
The four people immediately stopped talking, turned around and looked over.
Belmode was vigilant in her heart, her hand subtly moving to the place where she hid her gun, but when she saw the black and white creature rolling and running over, she was still a bit confused, somewhat not knowing what to do.
After Gin saw clearly that it was a giant panda running over, he didn't know whether to take out his Left Hand, which was in his Pocket, or keep it Inside.
Facing an irritable creature that looked very aggressive rushing over, it was the first time he didn't know whether he should shoot...
Vodka's face was blank, "G-G-G..."
Chi Feichi was also momentarily stunned. He carefully recalled the 'Master' with wild joy, confirmed it was Tuanzi's voice, and stepped forward, "Tuanzi?"
Huh?
Vodka looked at Chi Feichi in surprise.
They know each other?
"Master, I came to find you!" Tuanzi completely ignored the other three people, ran madly on all fours, and jumped up while still some distance away, preparing to give Chi Feichi a remote tiger-pounce version of a bear hug.
"@&#+...!" Feichi probed out from the collar and saw Tuanzi pouncing. It was startled, shouting a string of unclear sounds, and 'whoosh' it darted onto Gin's shoulder next to him.
Tuanzi is too inconsiderate, it doesn't even look at its own body shape. It plays like this every time, getting more exaggerated each time. It will be flattened sooner or later!
Please consider the feelings of the creature that stays on Master's body daily, okay?!
Chi Feichi stepped forward and reached out to catch Tuanzi, and was even knocked back two steps by Tuanzi, but he finally managed to hold it. Worried that Gin and these people would overreact and shoot directly, he explained, "It's My Place's."
Tuanzi hung on Chi Feichi like a fuzzy, round big toy, and even rubbed Chi Feichi with its head.
"Ah?" Vodka was bewildered, "Is private support of giant pandas allowed?"
"It's fostered at The Zoo, right?" Gin speechless put down the gun he was tightly gripping in his Left Hand. Seeing Feichi wrapping around his shoulder, he didn't say anything.
Looking at Feichi's reaction just now, being scared and darting over to him, he guessed this giant panda had also pounced like this before, causing Feichi to suffer a considerable loss, for example... almost being flattened.
"Fostered at The Zoo?" Belmode also hadn't quite recovered.
Chi Feichi nodded, "Uh-huh, correct."
Gin was not surprised at all by this answer.
Raki's tactic, he understood it all: Anyway, all the animals in the World belong to Raki, the only difference is where they are fostered.
Belmode also realized that it's impossible for giant pandas to be privately kept. If someone could adopt a giant panda, it would have been reported long ago. That should be a giant panda from The Zoo, but two Guys privately defined it as 'their own'...
"It's really Raki's?" Vodka hadn't realized.
Gin looked at Vodka, and still decided to explain, "The sharks and whales in the Sea are also Raki's, they are just fostered by him in the Sea."
Understood?
Raki's train of thought is not normal.
If Vodka still didn't understand, he didn't want to say anymore, there was no hope.
Vodka understood, and speechless looked at Chi Feichi.
Chi Feichi: "..."
How should I say this...
Actually, he really does have an orca fostered in the Sea.
Don't care if others admit it or not, and it doesn't need others to admit it. As long as he and Fei Li admit it, then it's his.
