At the entrance to the police dog training base, Liu drove away. Zhang Zian had just hung up the phone when Richard's wailing stopped abruptly.
”Did something happen in your store?” asked Feng Xuan with concern.
”Just a small issue. My employee is handling it.” Zhang Zian downplayed the matter. ”Director Feng, let's go in.”
”Yeah, sure.” Feng Xuan nodded.
Besides Feng Xuan and Zhang Zian, Feng Xuan's personal assistant and several staff came to help. A truck was also rented to deliver dogs. Of course, Famous was also there.
Surrounded by a big gate and tall walls, with police officers on guard at the entrance, the police dog training base was closed to visitors. From the entrance, they could vaguely hear barking from further inside the base, probably the police dogs that were training in the morning. There was a sign hanging on the gate that read: Police Dog Training Brigade of SWAT Division of Binhai City Public Security Bureau.
A short and stout, middle-aged police officer hurriedly walked out of the gate and extended his hand enthusiastically to Feng Xuan. ”Oh, my! It's Director Feng Xuan! Thank you for visiting! Our superiors have already notified us that you would be coming over. I didn't expect to see you here so early. Have you been waiting a long time?”
Feng Xuan shook hands with him, ”We just arrived. How should I address you?”
”Han Gui. Just call me Old Han.” Old Han warmly greeted the others. ”Come in, everyone.”
They followed Old Han and walked inside.
Despite the occasional barking, the base was very quiet with a sense of solemnity that seemed exclusive to soldiers or the armed police force. Even though there were police officers passing by, they stared directly in front of them and walked briskly, upholding the strict regulation that states ”two people should walk side by side, while three or more people should walk in line.” By contrast, these common people in their casual clothes seemed rather eccentric.
The interior of the base was covered with green plants. There were tall, evergreen pines and cypresses on both sides of the passageway, and several small, brick-red buildings that were hidden among the forest.
While he was walking, Old Han briefly went over the locations of the canteen, office building, training field, dormitories and the like to them. He wanted to lead them to the reception area so they could rest and have a cup of tea, but Feng Xuan politely declined.
Feng Xuan said, ”Don't bother, just take us directly to the kennel and we will leave as soon as we finish picking the dogs. You seem quite busy here and we shouldn't take too much of your time.”
”You've traveled all this way to visit us, why not stay longer? I've already instructed the canteen to prepare lunch for you,” said Old Han eagerly.
Feng Xuan checked the time and figured that after selecting the dogs, it would be time for lunch. He pondered for a while and said, ”Okay, we can stay here for lunch, but don't prepare any special meals for us. We will eat what you eat.”
”But you are our guests.” Old Han wanted to persuade him, but Feng Xuan was determined.
The kennel alone occupied a compound in the base. Surrounded by an iron fence, its appearance seemed rather commonplace. Three two-story buildings built in the shape of a triangle were painted deep blue, with a touch of light blue on the higher areas, making the buildings look simple and neat. The police officers on duty in the kennel also got the news in advance and were standing outside to greet them.
”Where are the retired dogs?” Feng Xuan asked.
