start with a pet store

Chapter 900 A false alarm

"Meow...where are you going?" A ragdoll licked another ragdoll next to it and asked in a low voice.

"Aoaoao... wherever you go, I will go..." The body of this puppet is smaller than the one that is licking it. It seems that these two are in couple mode. They are talking in low voices, and Lu Jingxing smiled slightly. This scene looks so familiar.

"Meow meow, let's go to a cat cafe together. There will be many people there to give us delicious food, and we can still be together every day..." The bigger ragdoll licked the edge of the smaller one's ear, but it was still mumbling something in its mouth.

"Hmm, hmm, I'll do whatever you say..." The smaller puppet also spoke in a humming voice.

Lu Jingxing listened to the humming of the little guys with amusement, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

He didn't say anything more, just walked out with a smile, leaving the issue for them to discuss on their own.

A dreamless night.

The next day, Lu Jingxing walked to the store. From a distance, he saw several shop assistants gathered at the store entrance.

Seeing him coming, the shop assistants immediately looked over at him.

Lu Jingxing didn't know what was going on and quickened his pace.

"What's wrong?" He looked at Ding Fang.

"As soon as we arrived, we saw three airline boxes here, each containing a cat. Look, there are also supplies and other things. There is also a note left here..." Ding Fang handed the note to Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing squatted down, and soon more people gathered around.

"Is this abandonment?" someone in the crowd whispered.

"That's probably true..." another person responded.

The airline boxes were all of better quality, with three little guys in them, a British shorthair, a ragdoll, and a surprisingly German one.

The three little guys are all chubby and look like cats that are well taken care of by their owners.

The note stated the condition of the little ones.

Breed: German, male, fully vaccinated, not neutered, even the birthday is written, and personality: clingy, lively.

Then, a letter of introduction was attached, saying that the Ragdoll and the British Shorthair were picked up by her. The Ragdoll had a chronic disease when she picked it up, but it is very healthy now.

There is a special sentence written below: Please do not touch them at will, and please hand them over to the [Pet Love Home] pet shop.

Wasn't this delivered directly to their store?

Lu Jingxing looked up at the surveillance camera at the door, and Ding Fang immediately said, "The surveillance camera showed that this person was brought in at around five in the morning, when it was still light. She was wearing a big hat and was brought in in two sets. The car must have been parked far away, and she was afraid that our surveillance camera would capture her..."

That means these little guys were thrown here intentionally.

Wow, there are four such cute cats. Except for the Chuan Chuan ragdoll, the other two are really worth a lot of money.

Because they were still locked in the box, Lu Jingxing couldn't tell whether there was anything wrong with these guys, but when he thought about it, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but suspect that these guys must be either seriously ill or disabled.

If this is really a serious illness or a disability, it will invisibly increase a lot of expenses.

Because these little guys didn't look like stray cats and looked pretty good, people immediately gathered around and wanted to adopt them.

Some people also helped post on WeChat Moments to see if anyone knew these cats and whether they could find their owners.
After listening to those who wanted to adopt, Lu Jingxing did not nod.

He still couldn't bear to watch the cat die without helping it, even though he knew that doing so might lead to more people dumping cats at their doorstep in the future, but he just couldn't do nothing about it.

He thought for a moment and said to everyone, "We need to first figure out what's going on and see if we can find the owner. No matter what the reason is, we can't give it to you without knowing the reason. If we really can't find the owner and we check and see if there's no problem with the adoption, we'll notify you. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay, okay, sure..." The onlookers nodded repeatedly.

Everyone has their own considerations.

Although these little guys look healthy, there is no guarantee that they don’t have any other problems. If they were healthy, why would their owners lose them? It doesn’t make sense. This is what everyone is thinking secretly in their hearts.

Lu Jingxing knew very well what these people were thinking.

However, he was not surprised by this phenomenon, even though there was a large notice posted at their door: they would not accept abandoned animals for unknown reasons.

But what can you do if it’s thrown to you secretly like this? They are heading for your store.

This is because these people no longer want to keep their pets, nor do they want to let them wander around, or worse, because these little guys are sick and they don’t have the ability to treat them, or they may not want to spend the money to treat them, so, they still have a trace of conscience and don’t let the little guys wander around, but just abandon them directly in front of their store.

This is also because these people are sure that Lu Jingxing and others will not stand by and watch someone die, so this kind of thing seems to be happening more and more.

Especially those little kittens, there are especially many of them.

This time, Lu Jingxing was not very angry, because these little guys looked good. As long as they were not seriously ill, he believed that it should be easy to find adoptive parents for them. As for if they really got sick, he still believed that he had the ability to cure them.

Thinking this way, he felt more confident and directed his employees to move the little ones into the store.

Xiaojiu and Xiaoliu have taken the initiative to accept the task of conducting physical examinations on them.

When Lu Jingxing came in after inspecting the entire store, the two said to him at the same time: "Brother Lu, there is nothing wrong with the little ones. They are all very healthy, without even any minor skin diseases..."

"Except for the British Shorthair, all the others have been vaccinated. Only Devon has not been sterilized, while the other two have been sterilized..." Xiaojiu added.

"Moreover, it looked like they had just been bathed not long ago. They all had a faint scent of shower gel on their bodies, and even their ears were cleaned particularly well..." Xiao Liu also said.

"That's weird, it shouldn't be like that, if that's the case, the owner should love them very much, why would he abandon them?" At this point, Lu Jingxing's initial anger towards the owner disappeared. Everyone showed their worry.

Ding Fang leaned against the door frame and whispered, "Is it possible that their owner is sick or something, so he can't take care of them..."

"The owner must have had a major change, otherwise it doesn't make sense. If he didn't love them, even if he wanted to leave them to us, he would have brought them here directly. They are so clean. Moreover, we also looked at the items placed next to the airline box. The cat food they used to eat was considered very good..." Xiaojiu said.

"Yes, yes, a lot of toys were also delivered here..." Ding Fang also said.

"Then should we go look for their owner? I'm most worried that she might have encountered some difficulties and is upset..." Xiao Liu held the unsterilized Devon and looked at Lu Jingxing.

This was indeed the first time that Lu Jingxing had encountered such a thing. He was a little overwhelmed. You can let me adopt these little guys, but do you want me to find their owners? They deliberately lost them, how can I find them?

He said with difficulty: "It shouldn't be so bad that I can't let it go..."

"That's not necessarily true. What if you encounter a particularly difficult problem and can't find anyone to help? There are many... For example, if a serious illness cannot be cured or something like that..." Ding Fang said.

"Well...there's nothing we can do..." Xiao Jiu continued.

"You know what, many years ago, there was a very good little boy in my company. He had just graduated and came to work in the company. I didn't know him very well, but he was very polite. Every time he saw me, he would say hello. Later, he was 'optimized' and he gave away several cats in his home, and he also gave us some things at home. When we went to his house to get them, we saw that he had thrown away piles of comics he had drawn. Later..." The person who spoke was a customer who often came to the store. She was a lady, probably in her thirties.

She was holding a little Bichon Frise in her arms. Seeing that the topic had attracted everyone, she sighed and continued, "On my way back, a screw for the cat-proof door that Bing sent me fell off. I called him and he went to the store to send me the screw. In short, he was a very kind person. When I was talking to him on the phone, he said that we would never see each other again. He sounded sad at the time, but I thought it would be a big deal. It was just resignation. We were in the same industry and there was a long time to come. But a few days later, I heard that he had drowned. What a good child he was. I still can't get over it every time I think of him..." After saying that, she sighed again.

"If you really encounter a problem that you can't think straight, should we still look for this person to see if he can help?" Lu Jingxing said after a long time after listening.

"Master, do you have any solution?" Xiao Liu asked, as he rarely saw Lu Jingxing like this.

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "I haven't thought of it yet, but there should be surveillance cameras at the intersection, maybe they can take pictures of her car. Besides, there weren't many cars at that time, so maybe we should go to the traffic police to ask? Or the police station to ask?"

"Police station, I think the police station should be able to handle this matter..." Xiaojiu said, pointing at the airline box.

Everyone nodded. There was no better way. All they wanted to do was find the owner and see what difficulties she had encountered and whether they could help her.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. It should be applicable here.

Having decided, Lu Jingxing immediately gave an order: "Xiaojiu, go to the police station now and find Officer Hu. Ask him to find a way to help us investigate. We will upload the videos of the little guys to the platform and see if we can find their owners through the platform..."

"Platform? Since she threw it away like this on purpose, I'm afraid she won't come out to claim it, right?" Xiao Liu asked.

"It depends on how we put it. If we say that no matter what her reason is, we can accept these little ones from her and she won't have any psychological burden, then maybe she will come out..." Ding Fang said.

Lu Jingxing nodded.

He thought so too. No matter what, they were willing to accept these little guys. In this way, she would have no worries.

Everyone agreed that the person who lost these little guys must be a lady in trouble.

Xiaojiu received the task and left early.

Lu Jingxing also asked everyone to disperse. He was afraid that Xiaojiu would go directly to find Officer Hu, but Officer Hu didn't know him and Xiaojiu might not even be able to see him.

So, after returning to the office, he made a special call to Officer Hu.

Officer Hu agreed readily. This was not entirely Lu Jingxing's and his team's business. If the owner really couldn't get over it and had problems with his life, it would also be of concern to them.

So helping Lu Jingxing and the others is actually their job.

So, it didn’t take long before Xiaojiu came back.

He didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before he ran to Lu Jingxing's office: "Brother Lu, I found out..."

Seeing him coming back, Xiao Liu and the others gathered around him: "How is it, how is it?"

Xiao Jiu looked at the colleagues surrounding him and said, "Oh, it was just a false alarm..."

He deliberately kept the conversation a secret and paused.

"You idiot, just say something..." Ding Fang slapped him.

"Oh, let me tell you, the police station checked the surveillance footage, saw the license plate, and then tracked down the person involved from the license plate. The owner is a woman who got married not long ago. We were worried to death about her, and we were afraid that she would commit suicide or something. But that's not the case at all. She raised these cats before she got married, and now that she's married and pregnant, she doesn't keep them anymore..." Xiao Jiu said angrily.

"No, why? Why can't I keep a cat after getting married and having a baby..." Ding Fang asked puzzledly.

"That's right, what kind of logic is this..." Xiao Liu also stared with disbelief.

"What's so difficult to understand? Maybe my mother-in-law doesn't like cats, or my husband is allergic to cat hair after we got married... In short, there are thousands of excuses like this, and there's really nothing strange about it..." At this time, the little grandson who came in from the backyard said in a sarcastic tone.

Lu Jingxing knocked on his head: "Don't be sarcastic, she must have encountered difficulties, who knows how miserable she is now..." Then he looked at Xiaojiu: "Did the police station tell you her address? Or did you tell her about the little girl's situation?"

"Oh, I talked to her. She seemed to be crying. She didn't want us to know her address. She just said that she couldn't keep the cats anymore and asked us to deal with them. She said she had no choice. Her family forced her to choose between her family or the cats. Then she cried and said that she was old and that she had conceived this child with great difficulty. She had no choice but to hope that we could help her cats find better owners..." Xiaojiu repeated the master's words.

After hearing what Xiaojiu said, everyone sighed.

This is something no one expected, but there is nothing we can do about it.

You can't force others to keep a cat.

Although everyone felt a little indignant, it was her choice. She must have been in tears when she gave these little guys a bath.
