Super Zoo-Chapter 789 - 768 ’Familiar’ Aisenburg
Suming lectured the young couple, and since they were already terrified and it was indeed their violation of the rules that had gotten them into trouble in the first place, they didn't dare to talk back and kept apologizing profusely.
"Alright, let me take you out of here." Suming waved his hand and stood up, ready to leave.
The two, with their heads bowed like children who had done something wrong, followed Suming out of Orgrimmar City.
There was silence all the way until they were about to exit the sanctuary at the border between the two worlds; that's when the girl, gathering her courage, quickened her pace to walk beside Suming and whispered, "Leader, I have an inappropriate request, I don't know if I can mention it?"
Her boyfriend, Bai Chen, was slightly startled, clearly unaware of what the girl was going to say.
The first thought that came to Suming's mind was whether his protagonist's charm had once again taken effect, making the girl decide to break up with her boyfriend and chase after him upon seeing his majestic heroism.
Did she want his phone number?
"Ahem..." Recently his mind had been filled with all sorts of wild thoughts, he coughed once and said more seriously, "Go ahead and speak, but I'll say this upfront, I might not agree to it."
The girl seemed to check if she was overheard, glancing around first. Apart from animals, there weren't any other people nearby, and then she murmured quietly like a mosquito, "We know we were wrong, could you please not tell others that we tried to earn money by secretly cutting the monkey's fur? If this gets out, we'll definitely be cursed to death online, and the school will surely give us a severe penalty, which would greatly affect our studies and future job prospects..."
It is said that girls mature earlier than boys at the same age, and this wasn't wrong at all. Bai Chen finally caught on and hurriedly echoed on the side, nodding vigorously, "Yes, yes, Leader, the school really enforces strict discipline, if they find out we've done such an uncivilized act, they'll definitely mark it as a demerit, and I can kiss my scholarship for this year goodbye."
"I've thought about it carefully on the way, and this matter has gone beyond uncivilized behavior. If we take it seriously, it's like we're stealing our own country's national treasures for foreigners' money – wouldn't that make us traitors?" The girl was on the verge of tears.
The two young ones looked pitifully at Suming with a face full of pleading.
"Young lady, you've actually come to realize the error of your ways at the end here. Bai Chen, you too, think things through from now on. You're both twenty years old." Suming nodded and said, "Alright, we'll come up with a feasible excuse... To the public... um, we'll say that your stomach hurt and Bai Chen accompanied you to find a place to rest, and you accidentally wandered into an animal's den."
The girl's face blushes slightly, and she bites her lip, nodding, "Mhm, thank you, Leader."
Once the three of them had aligned their stories, they left the sanctuary. As soon as they stepped out from the border crossing, they were greeted with a burst of intense camera flashes and the clicking sounds of photographs being taken.
A white ambulance was on standby nearby.
Good news doesn't go beyond the door, while bad news spreads far and wide – but this isn't necessarily always true; sometimes the opposite is true.
After rescuing the people, Suming had already contacted Mr. Tian and reported that all was well.
With the crisis resolved, there was now the opportunity to promote the heroics of an individual; Mr. Tian, responsible for managing Yangchuan City's tourism, naturally welcomed this and therefore notified numerous media outlets.
At this time, the media presence at the border crossing was several times larger than when Suming had entered, a vast crowd gathered with their cameras and equipment at the ready.
"Mr. Su, can you tell us what exactly happened?"
"Were any people or animals injured?"
"I'm a reporter from the Yangchuan Daily; Mr. Su, hello, did you ever consider the danger you might face when you went in to rescue them alone?"
Smiling, Suming waved his hand, "Friends from the press, please let the two tourists check their health first, I will talk with all of you shortly."
...
After confirming the student identities and health conditions of the two tourists, a moderate incident came to a close. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Media in Yangchuan City covered the story extensively. In the news, what was originally a safety accident was downplayed to an accident. No parties faced criticism; on the contrary, everyone involved received moderate recognition for their contributions, including the two university students, who were not blamed.
The couple, tourists, where the female's menstrual cycle had arrived early, and her boyfriend stayed with her to rest. They accidentally wandered into a beast's den and were surrounded by wild animals;
Fortunately, the animals in Taoyuan Wildlife Sanctuary, trained by Yangchuan City Zoo, were more civilized than average wild beasts. Moreover, Taoyuan Travel Company had always provided the sanctuary animals with ample and quality food, so the creatures, content in their needs, did not harm the two tourists;
To ensure the safety of the tourists, the Tourism Bureau arrived at the scene promptly, and with the assistance of the police, the situation was controlled;
Upon receiving the news, Comrade Su Ming, director of Yangchuan City Zoo, immediately rushed to the scene. He ventured alone into the sanctuary and, surrounded by a group of ferocious wild animals, bravely rescued the two stranded tourists without regard for his own safety...
"Whether it's Taoyuan Travel Agency or Yangchuan City Zoo, or myself, we have always been committed to harmonious coexistence between humans and animals," Su Ming said during an interview.
Other tabloid stories emerged as well. A small newspaper discovered that Su Ming was an alumnus of the same university as the two tourists. The Medical University sent a banner to Yangchuan City Zoo in thanks, and Su Ming took this opportunity to donate three hundred thousand in research funds to his alma mater, among other things...
The young couple ended up benefiting from the misfortune, especially the somewhat simple-minded Bai Chen. Once the news report came out, the whole school knew they were dating, and those who coveted his girlfriend knew she was taken and backed off. Their class teacher even praised the guy, saying he stepped up at the crucial moment to care for and protect his female classmate, acting very manly...
In short, fools have their own kind of luck.
...
"Don't you guys think this foreigner looks familiar?"
In Su Ming's office, a large projection beamed onto the wall showed a clear photo—the one with Aisenburg and Bai Chen.
Besides Su Ming, Zhao Yun and Su Meng were also present, and Su Ming's question was directed at the two of them.
Su Meng stared at the photo for a good while and then shook his head vigorously, while Zhao Yun frowned slightly and then turned to look at Su Ming.
"He does look somewhat familiar to me," Zhao Yun said.
"I felt the same," Su Ming nodded.
Both turned to look at Su Meng.
Su Meng opened his mouth, looking somewhat bewildered at the two of them.
After laying eyes on Aisenburg, Su Ming immediately thought of Su Meng, not because they looked alike, but because upon first seeing both of them, he had a sense of 'familiarity.'
After much thought, he couldn't figure out who they resembled among his acquaintances. Their facial features weren't like anyone he knew well, but at a glance, they both gave him a sense of déjà vu.
The same had been true with Su Meng. Back then, when Su Ming asked several people, only Zhao Yun felt the same as he did, noting Su Meng's familiar appearance.
The same was now true with Aisenburg.
