As he watched Sheng Ke get out the police car, Zhang Zian was slightly surprised. The first thing he thought of was the incident where Wang Qian and Li Kun were involved with robbers from a bike gang. With that thought in his mind, Zhang Zian quickly went out to welcome him.

Zhang Zian wasn't the only one who had this thought. Wang Qian and Li Kun's hearts skipped a beat, their faces turned gray, and their hands reached for the wallets in their pockets, thinking that the scholarship money would be taken from them. They had yet to receive the scholarship money, so the money they spent was their own. They started to wonder if the fireworks they bought for their master could be returned.

”Happy New Year! It's been awhile, but I wanted to come over to wish you an early Happy New Year!” Sheng Ke didn't even glance at Wang Qian and Li Kun, he just started a conversation with Zhang Zian. ”Brothers from the Police Dog Unit told me to send their regards.”

Zhang Zian smiled as he replied, ”Captain Sheng, Happy New Year to you and the boys. Come in! It's cold outside and you're lightly dressed.”

Sheng Ke was usually working during the week and sometimes on the weekends. Chinese New Year is a peak period for various theft cases, so it was very unusual for him to make a trip down when he could've simply called.

”Sorry for bothering you.” Sheng Ke didn't refuse as he followed Zhang Zian into the shop.

Sun Xiaomeng was observing a few brown Abyssinian cats that were expecting. She momentarily glanced over to Sheng Ke in his uniform, but she wasn't concerned.

”Captain Sheng, how's Liu and Wang? Red Dragon and Prince?” Zhang Zian gestured for him to take a seat.

After completing Dog Warrior, Red Dragon and Prince returned to the Police Force, once again throwing themselves back into their usual work with their owners. Zhang Zian hadn't seen them since.

”They're currently away on a tracking mission,” Sheng Ke answered. ”Whether or not they'll be back before New Years is the question.”

”That's tough.” Zhang Zian understood that the case was confidential, so he didn't push.

”This is our job, but it's also our responsibility.” Sheng Ke casually laughed it off, looking around the store before heading into the reason he was here. ”I came over today for another piece of business.”

Zhang Zian sat upright. ”Should we go somewhere private?”

The last time Sheng Ke came to the pet store, it was about Guan Biao, who was part of the fireworks division of the film crew. He brought over case files and requested to have a private discussion. Zhang Zian thought that this time would be similar, which was why he asked the question. Sun Xiaomeng, Wang Qian, Li Kun and Lu Yiyun were all inside the store, and, though they were some distance away, if they wanted to listen in, they could.

”There's nothing confidential this time.” Sheng Ke waved his hands. ”Actually, it's quite embarrassing to bring up, but someone came to the station and wanted to file a report on a cheating case, requesting for us to form an investigation.”

Zhang Zian listened closely. If this was a cheating case, there was no need to look for him.
