Chapter 152 - 150: Wanting Mo Yu

Chapter 152: Chapter 150: Wanting Mo Yu

Lin Feng waited at the foot of the mountain for half an hour before seeing Captain Yu come down with the man in custody.

"Boss Lin, is there really no way we can have Mo Yu as a K-9?"

"Don’t even think about it. Even if I agreed, Mo Yu would never go with you."

The captain recalled the scene on the mountain. If it weren’t for Mo Yu, it would have been a real hassle had that guy escaped deep into the mountains.

In a single bite, Mo Yu had nearly torn the man’s leg off.

Mo Yu’s incredible speed and astonishing strength were especially potent.

It would be a terrible shame not to get a dog like that for the K-9 unit.

"Mo Yu, how about you come with me? I’ll buy you meat to eat every day."

The captain looked like a kidnapper trying to lure a child away, forcing a smile as he squatted down to coax Mo Yu.

"WOOF WOOF, WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF."

After a few barks, Mo Yu trotted right over to Lin Feng, who rubbed its head.

The county authorities soon learned that the man had been apprehended, and on a mountain in Lin Xian Village no less. They breathed a collective sigh of relief.

If he had harmed a tourist, the county would have been in serious trouble. It might have even become a major news story, scaring tourists away.

After the man was taken in for questioning, the results of the interrogation came out quickly. The motive, however, was dumbfounding.

Apparently, the Kong father and son had embezzled the money he had tipped them. He ran out of funds, and just then, the two of them appeared.

One could only say the father and son were unlucky. If they hadn’t shown up to hang their banners, Gou Ji would never have found them.

An official announcement was quickly released, and to make it more credible, they even included a recording of the interrogation.

Of course, those who didn’t want to believe wouldn’t be convinced, even under these circumstances.

Sometimes, it only takes one bad actor to ruin public trust, and no amount of effort by others can win it back.

Lin Feng didn’t pay the matter any more mind. Whether people believed the official account or not had no impact on him.

He was now at the Medicine House, watching a few men hang up the business license.

Wu Xianlin said excitedly, "Boss Lin, we can officially practice medicine here now."

"Yes. Be careful. If you come across an illness you aren’t confident you can treat, have the patient go to the county for treatment."

’Opening a private clinic did have its perks,’ Lin Feng realized. For one, he could now order certain medical equipment without raising suspicion.

’As things stood, he had to be extremely careful when buying equipment, and he basically didn’t dare purchase any large-scale devices online.’

Leaving the Medicine House, Lin Feng went to the Land God Temple. He wanted to see how the treatments for mental illness were progressing.

"Professor Quan, what are the results of your research? Can we treat those mental illnesses yet?"

Quan Liangyan said excitedly, "We’ve discovered that this peculiar aroma has a therapeutic effect on any mental illness related to mental agitation.

This unique aroma helps with sleep, focuses the mind, and soothes the spirit. The effect is especially pronounced for conditions like mania or those stemming from psychological trauma."

"As long as it can treat patients, that’s what matters."

"Mr. Lin, the experimental space here is too small. It will definitely be insufficient later on when more patients arrive for treatment.

I was wondering if we could build treatment rooms on the land behind the temple?"

There wasn’t much space behind the Land God Temple; it was just a slope, and the Arrow Tower District was only a few dozen meters away.

"Professor Quan, even if I let you build there, you have to consider whether the unique aroma can reach that far."

"Ahem, we’ve already run an experiment on that. As long as we use equipment to quickly draw the aroma over, it still has some effect, although it is diminished."

’In fact,’ he thought, ’it would be even better if the Land God Temple itself could be expanded. Then we could build the treatment rooms right inside.’

They had discovered that as long as you were inside the Land God Temple, you could smell the aroma from anywhere.

Once outside the temple, the aroma would dissipate rapidly, and they had no idea what principle was at work.

"You can use that plot of land, but the building you construct should ideally match the architectural style of Lin Xian Village."

"That’s no problem. We’ll hire someone to design it."

In truth, the patients would only be here during their treatments; otherwise, they would be sent to the sanatorium at the base of the mountain.

Just as he stepped outside, he ran into Chu Xiuhong waiting for him.

Chu Xiuhong said sheepishly, "Mr. Lin, sorry to bother you. I have a friend who would like to come here for treatment. What are the requirements?"

"You should know how things work with Professor Quan’s team. If your friend wants to get treated, it’s best to have them contact the researchers directly.

Many tourists come here to pray, so it’s not a suitable place for a large group to stay inside."

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Lin. I’ll go find Professor Quan."

"Hello, Uncle."

"Hao Hao, are you able to control your temper now?"

"Yes, Uncle. I feel much better. The old me was a bad boy."

"You’re not a bad boy, Hao Hao. You were just sick. After your treatment is done, you’ll be able to go to school and play with other kids."

Lin Feng suddenly thought of the Academy. ’When will that be finished? That building will be a huge help to students.’

"Boss Lin! Boss Lin! Someone over here is looking for you."

"Captain Yu, it’s never a good thing when you come looking for me."

’This guy secretly feeds Mo Yu meat and bones every day, trying to poach him. He must think I haven’t noticed.’

’Too bad his efforts were like throwing a meatbun at a dog—a sunk cost. Mo Yu was never going to leave.’

’Still, maybe it’s time to develop the Pet Function’s capabilities.’

"Don’t you slander me. It’s not me looking for you this time, it’s someone from the K-9 training base."

"You told them about Mo Yu?"

Yu Yongfeng said, "It wasn’t me. It was in the case report, so a lot of people know now."

’Well, that was unavoidable. It looks like even more people have their eyes on Mo Yu now.’

"What do they want? I’m not handing Mo Yu over to them."

"Relax, they know your situation. They can’t just snatch Mo Yu from you. They probably just want to talk to you about how you trained him."

At the guard post, Lin Feng met Wang Ming, the captain of the Jiangcheng City K-9 Training Base, who greeted him with great enthusiasm.

"Mr. Lin, I was wondering how you trained Mo Yu. How did he get such an incredible sense of smell?"

"Captain Wang, to be honest, Mo Yu has never been trained. He’s probably just naturally gifted."

Wang Ming was stunned for a moment. He had considered many possible answers, but he hadn’t expected this one.

"Then would it be possible for me to see Mo Yu?"

"That’s not a problem, but I have no idea where Mo Yu is right now."

"I can wait here. When you find Mo Yu, just have someone come and let me know."

After Lin Feng left, Yu Yongfeng said, "Old Wang, that dog Mo Yu is truly incredible. I get the feeling he’s extremely intelligent, even smarter than a Border Collie."

"If a dog is really that smart, it’s not suitable for K-9 work."

A dog that’s too smart understands danger and might resist certain commands or refuse to obey them entirely.

Border Collies are a classic example. They’ll avoid danger and sometimes even try to outwit their owners.

"But Mo Yu is special. He understands commands, and his sense of smell is unbelievably powerful."

"I know he’s special. That’s why I came to see for myself. Even if he can’t be a K-9, we could try breeding him for the next generation."

Yu Yongfeng understood. "You devil! So you want to use Mo Yu to breed the next generation. But he’s only four months old."

The two of them waited for half an hour before someone came over to inform them that Mo Yu was back.

When Wang Ming saw Mo Yu, his eyes lit up. The dog was simply magnificent.

You could tell just by looking into his eyes that he was highly intelligent and had a very Stable temperament.

"Mo Yu!"

Yu Yongfeng called out to Mo Yu, but the dog only gave him a disdainful glance before turning its head away.

"See? The dog isn’t just smart, he’s practically human."

Some tourists were standing beside Mo Yu, taking photos. As long as they didn’t bother him, he generally didn’t mind.

Of course, if anyone got too handsy, they would be in for a punishment.

"What a dog!"

Wang Ming walked over, and seeing Mo Yu lying on a rock, he wanted to reach out and pet him.

Mo Yu shot away in an instant, his speed shockingly fast.

"Don’t even think about it," Yu Yongfeng said. "You’re not familiar with him. No one can touch him unless Boss Lin gives the order."

He felt a pang of sadness, recalling that he couldn’t even pet Mo Yu despite all his attempts to bribe him with meat.
