Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

When it was finally time to be discharged, Li Zhanwen helped me with the discharge paperwork and took me home. My children were waiting for me. I hadn't been home for over a month, so returning was incredibly heartwarming.

Xu Jing came back to see me mid-trip, which delayed me a bit, but thankfully, the European acquisition is going smoothly and everything is going according to plan. Yuanyuan's stock price has skyrocketed thanks to the acquisition. Blue Forest Design's work is incredibly popular with consumers, and Fu Sheng Liu Ji remains incredibly popular. Although I'm in the hospital, my value is steadily rising. The old saying, "Those who survive great adversity will find happiness in the future," has truly come true.

After I rested at home for a few days, Dean Cong came to see me very anxiously and knelt down as soon as he saw me.

"Boss Wei, please save those poor furry kids! They're dying!"

"what happened?"

"A few days ago, a few kittens were left at the entrance of our base. We thought they were abandoned by their owners. This has happened before. Some people don't want to keep them anymore, but they feel guilty about the kittens and can't bear to see them die, so they choose to leave them at the entrance of the base and wait for us to adopt them."

"Although that man is a bit irresponsible, at least he still has some conscience!"

"We thought so at first, but who would have thought those kittens were all suffering from the plague. Because cage space was tight and the previously abandoned kittens were all healthy, we didn't do a detailed examination and raised them with other healthy cats. Unexpectedly, a few days later, many cats showed symptoms, and some even died!"

"Then treat it quickly! What are you waiting for?"

"This plague has spread so rapidly that more than half of the cats and dogs on the base are now infected. And somehow the Animal Management Bureau received a tip-off and came to inspect our base, revealing the presence of an animal plague. Now the Animal Management Bureau is culling all the sick cats and dogs."

"Can this plague be transmitted to humans?"

"Nothing has been found so far."

“Then why are these little animals being culled?”

"I've explained to them that the plague can be controlled, but they won't listen! Mr. Wei, please save them!"

"But I can't interfere with the decision of the Animal Management Bureau! I don't have that much power to interfere with their work!"

"Boss Wei, those cats and dogs are just suffering from a common animal plague. They can be cured with treatment! Although this plague is highly contagious, it also has a high cure rate! The few we found at the beginning have already recovered, but now the Animal Management Bureau has sealed off the entire base, so we can't treat those sick cats and dogs at all. They don't receive treatment, so the mortality rate remains high!"

"Have you filed a complaint?"

"We've already filed a complaint, but it's completely useless. We also have no way of getting more comprehensive data to prove that the mortality rate of this plague is not high, because we simply can't provide treatment!"

"But……"

"Mr. Wei, I'm just an ordinary person! An ordinary person who loves small animals! I don't know any dignitaries, so now I can only ask you to help me!" Dean Cong kept kowtowing to me, and no matter how I pulled him, it was useless.

Faced with Dean Cong's tearful plea for help, I couldn't bear it and could only temporarily agree to give it a try. However, I didn't know anyone at the Animal Management Bureau, so I could only go to prosecutor Zhang Mu and try.

"Prosecutor Zhang! Sorry to bother you!"

"Mr. Wei, you're too polite! Just call me Zhang Mu."

"No, that's so rude!"

"Okay then! Mr. Wei, just call me whatever you like, hahaha!" Zhang Mu seemed to be in a good mood.

"Is You Yuanzhou's case ready to be closed?"

"Oh no! Not yet! This You Yuanzhou is involved in too many cases! And in the end, he also caused many bombings abroad, with a lot of casualties. Now police and prosecutors from all over the world have come to Hegang to investigate and collect evidence. We have been very busy recently!"

"I see. I didn't disturb you, did I?"

"No, no! Thanks to you, President Wei, otherwise we would not have been able to make You Yuanzhou's crimes public. It's a pity that I couldn't personally send him to court to face legal sanctions, and I couldn't comfort my master's spirit in heaven!" Zhang Mu was a little depressed.

"Although he wasn't punished by law, his end was still pretty miserable! It can be considered retribution!"

"Maybe! Mr. Wei, is this the reason you came here today?"

"Well, not entirely! Also, I wanted to ask if you know anyone in the Animal Control Bureau?"

"Animal Management Bureau?" Zhang Mu was a little confused.

"Correct."

"Are you here for Cong Yunfei's homeless adoption base?" Zhang Mu saw through my intention.

"Yes. Do you know anyone?"

"Yes, I have a classmate working there. But I think it's useless for you to look for that classmate of mine. You should go to the Independent Commission Against Corruption!"

"ICAC?" It was my turn to be confused.

"I don't need to explain what the ICAC does, right?" Zhang Mu said with a hint of meaning.

"The ICAC is responsible for maintaining integrity..." I seemed to understand something.

"You guessed right! Did you know that rescuing stray animals is very popular right now? There are some speculators who are specifically marketing this to gain popularity and profit. But Cong Yunfei is a fool in those people's eyes. He took the money and gave it to animals. He gave it to them, but he also took away all the popularity and traffic. Cutting off someone's source of income will make people very angry. So Cong Yunfei is a thorn in their side! They will definitely want to discredit him and destroy his base."

"How does Prosecutor Zhang know so much about this?"

“It’s just that I suddenly discovered that some people have things that are not commensurate with their financial ability!”

"Oh! I'll have to look this up!"

"Go find Fu Junbin from the Independent Commission Against Corruption. He's my junior fellow student and he's incredibly serious! Serious to the point of paranoia! He'll definitely be able to save those kittens and puppies in time!"

"No problem! You've done me such a big favor, I owe you a big favor!"

"Then you should repay this favor after Xu Jing comes back!"

"Oh no! What's going on?" I looked gossipy.

"I'm already in my forties and I don't want to leave any regrets for myself!" Zhang Mu's eyes were full of anticipation and joy.

"understand!"

I found a breakthrough as Zhang Mu said, and with my "money power" I easily found evidence. Zhang Mu was right. His fellow apprentice, Fu Junbin, was indeed very good. He arrested the bad apple of the Animal Management Bureau when the plague at the base was even more serious.

After the lockdown was lifted, Director Cong's pet medical team successfully entered the base to treat the sick cats and dogs. After one course of treatment, the conditions of the sick cats and dogs were under control, and the Animal Management Bureau lowered the alert level. After the full course of treatment, 98% of the sick animals at the base returned to normal health, with only a few elderly cats and dogs failing.

Finally, after testing by the Animal Management Bureau, the plague in the base was confirmed to have been eradicated. However, the entire base needed to be thoroughly disinfected before it could be put back into use. Furthermore, Dean Cong, as the person responsible for the outbreak, bore unshirkable responsibility. The Animal Management Bureau issued a fine to Dean Cong, who gladly accepted it.
