Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

"Hello, I'm Lin Bufan, the person in charge of "Biaoge Paradise." Lin Bufan took the initiative to extend his hand, looking at his future mother-in-law subtly.

Zhuge Dasheng shook hands with Lin Bufan crisply, with just the right amount of force. "Zhuge Dasheng. Mr. Lin, time is running out. Let's get straight to the point of discussing the case."

Lin Bufan nodded and briefly handed over the situation of "Biaoge Paradise", Lightning's training records, and adoption information to Zhuge Dasheng.

Zhuge Dasheng quickly checked and asked a key question: "Did Lightning have a history of similar thefts while in the paradise?"

"Absolutely not!" Lin Bufan replied firmly, "At 'Brother Biao's Paradise', we not only cultivate various skills in pet dogs, but also instill in them the correct values. Every dog ​​receives a comprehensive education in morals, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, including basic moral principles like not stealing or robbing, and being helpful."

After listening to Lin Bufan's explanation, Zhuge Dasheng frowned slightly, and a trace of speechlessness flashed in his eyes. If it weren't for his good professional ethics, she really wanted to roll her eyes at Lin Bufan. He not only developed morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor, but also established correct views on the world, why didn't you say that your pet dogs were planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination!

"Mr. Lin, according to you, Lightning is a professionally trained, excellent dog with both good character and academic performance. A dog like that should be able to create a lot of commercial value for the park, right?" Zhuge Dasheng closed the information and looked at Lin Bufan sharply. "But why do I find in the information that Lightning was adopted after only working at the park for a month? This seems a bit unreasonable, doesn't it?"

Obviously, Zhuge Dasheng had some doubts about Lin Bufan's words.

Perhaps feeling that his words had gone a bit too far, Zhuge Dasheng added, "Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean anything else. It's just that as a lawyer, I need to know all the details. Only in this way can I handle this matter properly!"

Lin Bufan naturally understood what Zhuge Dasheng meant and clapped his hands excitedly. "Aunt Dasheng, what do you think of our Biaoge Paradise? Do you think we're some ancient brothel? Do you think we'd be like those beasts, engaging in forced buying and selling, forcing women into prostitution?"

"Wait, what did you just call me? Auntie Dasheng?!"

Lin Bufan seemed not to notice Zhuge Dasheng's somewhat gloomy expression, and ignored his words, saying to himself: "Every dog ​​in our Biaoge Paradise is our family! They have the right to choose the life they want. If they are willing to stay in the park to work, we certainly welcome them; if they want a warm family, we will also fully support them!

Lightning is clever and can bring high profits to our Biaoge Paradise, but he longs for a home of his own. As a family, why should we stop him?

Zhuge Dasheng ignored Lin Bufan's explanation. Instead, he crossed his arms and stared at Lin Bufan sharply, "Mr. Lin, let's put the theft aside for now. Did you just call me Aunt Dasheng?"

"Oh, that's not important!" Lin Bufan waved his hand and continued to change the subject: "The important thing is that we at Biaoge Paradise don't charge for pet adoptions at all. We do this purely to find good homes for the dogs!"

However, Zhuge Dasheng refused to let Lin Bufan go: "I'm only 38 years old this year. I shouldn't be old enough for Mr. Lin to call me auntie, right?"

Seeing Zhuge Dasheng chasing after him, Lin Bufan muttered in a low voice with some distress: "I don't want to call her auntie either, but if I call her sister, wouldn't that mess up the generations? What if we become close friends? How will I face our Dali in the future?"

Because Lin Bufan's voice was too soft, Zhuge Dasheng didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

"I... actually... he's like this!" Lin Bufan explained haltingly, "Aunt Dasheng might not understand, but I just dress a little more maturely. Actually, I just celebrated my 18th birthday two days ago. I'm about the same age as your daughter, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to call you auntie!"

"18 years old?!" Zhuge Dasheng raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it.

Just as Lin Bufan was about to open his mouth to continue his argument, Zhuge Dasheng suddenly said, "Wait, how did you know I have a daughter? And how did you know that my daughter is 18 years old?"

Lin Bufan was stunned for a moment, then revealed an innocent expression: "Really? I didn't say that, did I? I don't know! Aunt Dasheng, did you hear it wrong?"

Zhuge Dasheng narrowed his eyes and was about to ask further questions when a police officer came over and said, "Mr. Lin, Lawyer Zhuge, you can see Zhang Ming now."

Seeing this, Zhuge Dasheng didn't dare to continue asking questions. He told Lin Bufan to talk less and took her as the leader. Then he entered the interrogation room under the guidance of the police.

Inside the interrogation room, Zhang Ming sat across from them with a haggard look on his face. Upon seeing Lin Bufan and Zhuge Dasheng come in, he immediately stood up excitedly, "Mr. Lin! I really didn't teach Lightning to steal! I swear to God!"

With the previous instructions from Zhuge Dasheng, Lin Bufan did not say anything, but stood aside and observed Zhang Ming's reaction.

Zhuge Dasheng calmly gestured for Zhang Ming to sit down. "Mr. Zhang, I'm Zhuge Dasheng, the attorney representing Biaoge Paradise. Could you please explain what happened in detail?"

Zhang Ming wiped his face and explained in a trembling voice, "I really don't know why Lightning stole things! The police suddenly came to my house to search that day, and I was stunned! I had never seen those bags and jewelry before. Someone must have framed them!"

Zhuge Dasheng calmly flipped open his notebook. "Mr. Zhang, according to the surveillance footage, Lightning has appeared at the theft scenes in different neighborhoods for three consecutive days. As the owner, how do you explain this?"

Zhang Ming couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had a weak mental state. "Lightning is very smart. Sometimes he runs out to play on his own. I can't control him..."

At this moment, Lin Bufan suddenly interrupted and said, "Lightning never leaves the group without permission when he's in the park. He's received strict obedience training, and it's impossible for him to go out on his own without his master's order."

"Then...then..." Zhang Ming was obviously a little panicked: "Maybe it's suddenly in its rebellious phase? Animals also have rebellious periods, right?"

Zhuge Dasheng naturally noticed Zhang Ming's anomaly and immediately pressed the issue, "Mr. Zhang, according to the Criminal Law, inciting animals to commit theft also constitutes theft. If you confess now, perhaps you can get a lighter sentence."

Beads of sweat rolled down Zhang Ming's forehead, but he still managed to shake his head. "Lawyer Zhuge, I really don't know what's going on! Lightning... maybe it's self-taught?"

No matter how Lin Bufan and Zhuge Dasheng questioned him, Zhang Ming insisted he knew nothing. His excuses became increasingly forced, his eyes flickering, and the cold sweat on his forehead never stopped, but he refused to admit anything.

Zhuge Dasheng closed his notebook and exchanged a glance with Lin Bufan. They both knew that continuing like this would lead to nothing. Zhang Ming was clearly hiding something, but lacking direct evidence, they could only give up for now.

After coming out of the interrogation room, Zhuge Dasheng was about to leave the police station directly and go to the community where Zhang Ming lived to inquire about the situation, but he was stopped by Lin Bufan.

Lin Bufan felt that since the person involved had seen it, the dog in question should also see it. Perhaps other useful clues could be found!

Under the guidance of the police, Lin Bufan and Zhuge Dasheng found Lightning in the corner of the police station compound.

As soon as he saw Lin Bufan, Lightning immediately stood up, wagged his tail cautiously, but avoided looking him in the eye, obviously looking guilty as if he had done something wrong.

"Lightning!" Lin Bufan squatted down and called out seriously.

Lightning let out a low "Woo" and slowly rubbed against Lin Bufan's feet. He gently nudged Lin Bufan's hand with his head, as if trying to please and admit his mistake.

Lin Bufan asked with a stern face, "Why did you steal? Have you forgotten the rules that Sang Biao taught you? Do you know that your behavior not only affects you, but also brings shame to so many brothers and sisters in Brother Biao's Paradise?"

Lightning drooped his ears, whimpered in grievance, and dug the ground with his front paws nervously.

"Did Zhang Ming instruct you?"

Lightning tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously and barked a few more times, this time with a noticeably higher pitch.

"How did you get the key? Did Zhang Ming get it for you?"

Lightning raised his front paws and gestured a few times, then barked a few times, his eyes filled with anxiety, as if he was trying to explain something.

"Did he threaten you?"

Lightning nodded with a look of grievance!

Watching the fluent communication between the man and the dog, Zhuge Dasheng beside him could not help but open his mouth in surprise: "Mr. Lin, can you understand what it is saying?"

Lin Bufan shook his head and said calmly, "I don't understand."

Zhuge Dasheng almost stumbled and fell to the ground. "I don't understand why you're pretending to be so serious? You're so serious, I almost believed your nonsense!"

"Aunt Dasheng, although I don't understand, there are people who can understand, no, there are dogs who can understand!" As he said that, Lin Bufan took out his mobile phone and made a video call to Zhu Suosuo.

Zhu Suosuo on the other side of the screen was sitting on the sofa in Sang Biao's office, while Sang Biao rested his head on Zhu Suosuo's thigh with an unhappy look on his face!

"Suosuo, is Sang Biao here?" Lin Bufan said straight to the point: "I need his help with something."

Zhu Suosuo understood and immediately pointed the camera of her mobile phone at Sang Biao: "Brother Biao, the boss is looking for you."

However, after seeing Sang Biao, Lin Bufan did not rush to ask him to help translate, but instead became angry!

"You bastard! Get off that leg lock! Is that a place you can stay?!"

Sang Biao was startled by the yelling and reluctantly moved his head away, whimpering in dissatisfaction.

"Suosuo, don't let this bastard take advantage of you from now on!" Lin Bufan gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a pervert!"

Zhu Suosuo was stunned at first, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha... Boss, you are not jealous of Sang Biao, are you? It's just a dog!"

"Even dogs are not allowed!" Lin Bufan's face turned red with anger: "This dog is very smart, it's just taking advantage of you!"

Sang Biao on the other end of the video rolled his eyes with a speechless expression, as if to say that Lin Bufan was overthinking it!

Zhu Suosuo, who had laughed enough, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Okay, okay, I'll be more careful next time. Boss, what do you want with Sang Biao?"

Lin Bufan then remembered the important matter, so he turned the camera to Lightning. However, before Lin Bufan could say anything, Sang Biao became angry the moment he saw Lightning!

Sang Biao's fur stood on end, and he bared his teeth and barked at the screen, his face so ferocious that it looked as if he could rip lightning apart through the screen. His front paws clung to the sofa, his eyes burning with anger, and a low growl emanated from his throat.

Obviously, Sang Biao was very angry about Lightning's theft!

Lightning saw the furious Sang Biao on the screen and immediately trembled with fear. He crouched on the ground, his ears pressed tightly to his head, his tail tucked between his legs, and let out a whine. He didn't even dare to look up at the screen, only sneaking glances out of the corner of his eye, occasionally letting out a few low, pleading growls.

"Alright, alright, stop scaring it." Lin Bufan quickly moved his phone further away, then said to Sang Biao, "I have something to ask Lightning, can you help me translate it?"

After Sang Biao's "translation", the truth of the matter finally came to light.

It turned out that Zhang Ming had a gold-digger girlfriend some time ago. However, he didn't want to spend money but wanted to please his girlfriend, so he came up with the idea of ​​a quick revenge.

Every night he would take Lightning around high-end residential areas, letting Lightning use his cute appearance to approach his target, take the opportunity to steal the target's keys, and then follow the smell to find the target's home and steal.

After reading the "translation" sent by Sang Biao, Lin Bufan was so angry that he slapped Lightning on the head: "He told you to steal and you stole it? How did you take the ideological class before?"

Lightning barked in grievance, while Sang Biao continued typing and translating with a grin on the other side of the screen!

Looking at the translation sent by Sang Biao, Lin Bufan fell into a long silence!

According to Lightning, as a pet dog that has been fully trained in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor in Biaoge Paradise, it naturally did not agree to Zhang Ming's request that violated morality and law at first, but after Zhang Ming's persistent persuasion, Lightning finally agreed!

However, this kind of excuse obviously could not fool Lin Bufan and Sang Biao. Under the double pressure of Lin Bufan and Sang Biao, Lightning finally confessed!

It turned out that Zhang Ming used a purebred Pomeranian female dog as bait, and promised to find a "girlfriend" for Lightning as long as he cooperated in the theft.

In the end, Lightning couldn't resist the temptation of beauty, violated the moral code he learned in the paradise, and became Zhang Ming's accomplice.

After knowing the whole story, Lin Bufan gave Zhu Suosuo a few more words of advice, asking her to be careful not to be taken advantage of by that bastard Sang Biao, and then hung up the phone!

Putting the phone back in his pocket, Lin Bufan snapped his fingers and said proudly, "Done, time to go home!"
