After shooting all day, the sky darkened. Feng Xuan called it a day and asked the crew members to carry the equipment back to the storage room. He thought of where he wanted to have dinner, and whether he wanted to do karaoke or call some girls.

Liu and Wang were waiting at the door of the shooting base. It was pretty cold, and Zhang Zian didn't want to keep them waiting so he was about to leave when Feng Xuan called him.

”Zhang, are you busy? Come with me. I have something that I want to discuss with you,” Feng Xuan said in a tone that you couldn't say no to. ”Let's call Old Yang.”

Zhang Zian couldn't refuse so he texted Liu and Wang and told them to wait.

He called Old Yang and walked into Feng Xuan's conference room, surprised to see the producer there. Famous came inside as well, and laid on the floor.

Xu Gang shook hands with Zhang Zian and Old Yang and then said sincerely, ”Thank you so much, both of you! Today's shooting was amazing. I can't imagine how I would've dealt with the Tibetan Mastiffs if you were not here. Honestly, when we were delivered the Tibetan Mastiffs, I was nervous they might hurt someone.”

Old Yang seemed indifferent and said something random. Then he saw a carton of cigarettes on the table, unopened. He immediately put it under his armpit, knowing it was a present from Feng Xuan.

Feng Xuan, delighted, drank his hot cocoa.

Zhang Zian was flattered by what Xu Gang said because he didn't feel like he did anything. Famous did all the work. It was like it was a completely different dog yesterday.

They sat down.

Feng Xuan put his mug down to say something nice before moving onto the main topic.

He said, ”Zhang, Old Yang, Gang Zi, you all did a great job and I appreciate it. After today's shooting, we're almost finished, there are just a few scenes for us to work on. I'm sure it will go smoothly as Famous and the other two police dogs are really smart.”

Old Yang smoked happily, while Zhang Zian listened carefully.

”The reason why I called you in today is because I wanted to discuss the dogs' retirement issue. This includes Famous, Red Dragon, Prince and the other German Shepherds as well as the Tibetan Mastiffs.” Feng Xuan looked at each of them and asked, ”Thoughts?”

Xu Gang had already thought of some plans so he broke silence air first, ”I'll start. Before we delivered the Tibetan Mastiffs, we made a deal with the monks in the Zang temples that we would never hurt these dogs. So, I suggest we send them back to the stray dog's homes as there's no other suitable place for them to stay.”

Old Yang blew out the cigarette smoke and nodded. ”That's the only thing we can do. When the Yushu earthquake happened in 2010, some of the police dogs were sent to help search for people stuck under the ruins.”

The others listened without interrupting.

Old Yang ashed his cigarette and continued. ”You know, usually there will be a an outbreak of disease after a big disaster, especially for a serious earthquake like this one. Yushu is the original place of the Himalayan Marmot, and the earthquake made more marmots come out of their holes. Himalayan Marmots have two big front teeth, and look fluffy and cute. Even though they clean themselves, they are covered with diseases.”

He paused and exhaled before continuing. ”There were plenty of mice in Yushu as no one kept cats as pets. After the earthquake, the mice were everywhere. They were not afraid of humans and always traveled in groups. The local government immediately made a decision to exterminate them, not caring if they were marmots or mice. The decision was withdrawn by the locals who thought of marmots as saints and fed them every day even though they were suffering from hunger.

Others agreed this situation was similar to what they were dealing with now. It was obvious that killing the Tibetan Mastiffs was the easiest solution, but they couldn't because it was inhuman and against local customs. If they did it, people would be unhappy, and it could cause an uprising.

Xu Gang was intrigued. ”Then, what happened?”

Old Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, ”In that circumstance, they had no choice, but to kill the saint.”

They understood, but knew it couldn't be applied to this situation. The Yushu earthquake was a natural disaster, what they were dealing with was not.

No one else had any ideas, so they decided with Xu Gang to send the Tibetan Mastiffs back, after sterilization, to the stray dog nursing homes in Zang .

It was time to talk about the retired German Shepherds.
