Chapter 2317: Chapter 2317

Duan Xi gave him a mocking glance and said, "You can do it, but you’re afraid she’ll find out?"

"..." Ruan Jie.

Ruan Jie felt a bit stifled, but considering that he’s been feeling that way since childhood, it didn’t seem that hard to accept. He let out a cold snort, displaying his haughty indifference, then rubbed his chin as he looked out at the night scenery swiftly retreating outside the window.

At this time, the zoo was already closed, but all the animals seemed to sense their arrival. In the darkness, all the animals were itching to move, and several wolves were even howling at the night sky, causing the other animals to join in, creating a chaotic symphony of animal calls.

Knowing that Duan Xi was coming, the zoo director had been waiting outside for a while. As soon as the two got out of the car, they were immediately ushered in.

Thinking about what they had to do next, Duan Xi instructed the director and the others to leave first and come back after dawn tomorrow.

About twenty minutes later, Ruan Jie stood on the steps of the zoo’s large performance area, gazing down at twelve majestic grown wolves, whose temperaments were still like wolf pups, chasing each other and causing a ruckus, alongside the scattered, sprawling Changchongs, feeling a bit exasperated as he rubbed his forehead.

He asked Duan Xi, "Are you really going to use these things?" Are you sure it’s to protect him and not get him killed?

In the nighttime, his voice wasn’t quiet, and the venue was open, so his words reached the ears of those "things" in front of him.

Those things seemed to have heard something offensive and immediately glared at him furiously.

Especially those sprawling Changchongs, their little eyes were icy cold, penetratingly so.

The wolf pups were more direct, howling at him indignantly, their eyes seemed to be asking, "Who are you calling things?"

Faced with dozens of eyes, Ruan Jie pursed his lips, rubbed his buzz cut, unwilling to admit he was intimidated.

Duan Xi cast a nonchalant glance at the Changchongs and wolf pups and said, "Train them, they can save your life."

Of course, the most important thing is that animals have their own unique communication language. Ruan Jie needed to go undercover in a place he’d researched; it was densely forested, sparsely populated, or rather an uninhabited area, surely with lots of animals. The animals he trained, aside from ensuring his safety, could help control other animals through them, ideally becoming leaders.

Living in such a place, even if Ruan Jie gets exposed in the future, in a forest filled with animals, he could still ensure his safety.

It’s February now, his report had been submitted, and approval would likely come by April. There’s a two-month window, and within this time, not only must the abilities of the Changchongs and wolf pups be honed, but their mutual understanding must also be trained, especially some secret signals exclusive to them.

Seeing Duan Xi’s serious and earnest expression, Ruan Jie too became serious, dropping his previous nonchalance.

However, what followed was rather awkward.

To establish good rapport with the animals, to have them protect him willingly, and not forcibly, was vital. Otherwise, in life-and-death situations, if the animals escape last minute, any preparations would be in vain.

Duan Xi instructed Ruan Jie to go and select a Changchong and a wolf pup.
