Chapter 167: A School Student

Sheng Ke wandered through the pet shop. Out of his professional instinct, his ears had been listening to the conversation. From time to time, he glanced at Zhang Zian through the corner of his eyes because he showed great interest in this martial arts master who appeared suddenly.

Xiao Yan was vigilant against him. "Captain Sheng, I don't think eavesdropping was really good, wasn't it?

"Ms. Xiao, you can't say that! This was not eavesdropping; I simply heard it by accident," Sheng Ke laughed.

"Oh, really? Congratulations, Captain Sheng, on your good hearing. You will not become deaf when you get older," Xiao Yan said ironically.

Sheng Ke did not care, but laughed out loud again, picking at his ears with his little finger.

The two seemed have some conflicts before. Through Xiao Yan's entrepreneurial journey, she probably received a lot of grievances from the police. She could maintain peace from the outside, but inside her heart, her grudge was not so easy to completely erase.

"Captain Sheng, what's your opinion? Should I accept his compensation or not?" Zhang Zian asked. In fact, he already knew the answer, because Sheng Ke personally came to ask him.

Xiao Yan sighed and whispered, "They are police and they love nothing more than conflict..."

Old Time Tea's ears moved a little and its beard trembled while it pretended to be asleep.

Sheng Ke approached him. "Well, my personal opinion is that it is better to solve the conflict instead of making an enemy. Mr. Zhang, if you can accept the offer, that is great." He paused, then said, "Since you are pretty open to me, I will tell you whatever I want to say — because Stars Pet Chain Supermarket is involved, we've gotten a lot of pressure on this case."

Zhang Zian understood, and so did Xiao Yan.

It was hard for Sheng Ke to deal with this case.

Chen Taitong's shop was just a franchise, but because of the pressure of going on the stock market, in order to maintain corporate image and prevent the attack of competitors, the incident would definitely be intervened, hoping to turn a big problem into a smaller one, or a smaller one into nothing. Stars Pet Chain Supermarket in the industry, of course, didn't have any real competitors that could compete with them, but standing on corporate levels, there were still some that didn't want it to expand endlessly.

Stars' marketing and legal departments had already gotten involved. This so-called involvement did not mean that they were coming to Binhai City, but instead were trying to connect to people in the provincial and ministerial levels, from top to bottom, to exert pressure.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yan began to understand and stopped persuading Zhang Zian.

Zhang Zian did not want to continue to struggle with Stars Pet Chain Supermarket anymore as it would not benefit his shop at all. It would be better to solve the problem now.

So he simply replied, "I understand. As long as the compensation is fair, I will forgive Chen Taitong."

Captain Sheng's expression also relaxed a little, "Mr. Zhang, you are very reasonable. I will remember your favor this time. In the future, if anything happens, in a reasonable legal range, I will try my best to help. Ok, then I will go back now... It may take a couple of days, but their lawyer will come and talk to you about compensation. So Mr. Zhang, please use these two days to make a list of damages, trying to be as accurate as possible..."

He swept at the damaged goods which were not completely cleaned up yet. "It will save you a lot of time if you've kept the purchase documents, but as for other things, you can only estimate the prices... I guess their lawyer will not care about it too much. That's all. I am leaving now," he said.

Zhang Zian was ready to send him out.

"No, you don't have to." Sheng Ke walked to the door, then looked back at the kittens which were playing happily inside of the shop," Also, I checked the Internet yesterday and learned that your cats know how to do the stunts?"

Zhang Zian said indifferently, "Some of my ancestors were cat trainers, so they passed on some tips and skills to me."

"Oh?" Sheng Ke and Xiao Yan were surprised at the same time.

"Mr. Zhang is not only martial arts master, but also a cat trainer?" Sheng Ke asked with curiosity.

Zhang Zian was also very surprised because the captain did not ask what the cat trainer was, which meant that he had clearly known before that there was such an ancient and mysterious career the world. There were not even a lot of people in the pets industry that knew about this, so how did a cop actually know?

"Most of my ancestors' crafts were lost, and I only know a little," he explained with caution. He did not how much Sheng Ke know about this, so he tried to be more cautious.

Sheng Ke spaced out after a while, then sighed, "There were a lot of good things in ancient times, but unfortunately... but Mr. Zhang being low-key really made me admire him. I did not expect a hidden dragon in my territory. If it were not for the incident this time, Mr. Zhang, you probably would have hid it forever?"

Zhang Zian gave a mysterious smile. He was neither a martial arts master nor a cat trainer, but occasionally he had heard of such jobs. He had no other way to explain things, but he would not pretend to be an expert.

Based on Sheng Ke's observation, he knew that Zhang Zian didn't want to reveal too much, then said, "Ok, when we solve this case, I will come and learn from you one day."

After Captain Sheng drove away, Xiao Yan whispered, "I guess he may make a case to ask you for help."

"Ah?" Zhang Zian was shocked for a moment and thought to himself, "Can I just transform into a school student and never grow up?"

Xiao Yan said with certainty, "I could tell right from his reaction at the time he heard you say 'cat trainer', but because there were other people present, he did not feel convenient to disclose more, so he just said he would come by another time. In my opinion, he's probably encountered some difficult cases related to cats."

Zhang Zian carefully thought about what she had said and felt that it made sense. If this was usual for Zhang Zian, perhaps he would have figured it out already, not needing a reminder from Xiao Yan, but because of his nervousness facing unknown police, his reaction became dull.

"Then if he came here again..." he asked Xiao Yan because after all, she had more entrepreneurial and life experiences, not to mention experience dealing with Sheng Ke.

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said, "It will be up to you. If you feel sure, you can give it a try. If you succeed, you can let him owe you a favor, which will be very helpful for your future career. As far as I know, Captain Sheng is not a bad person. His detection rate is very high, and as long as he doesn't have big flaw or station in a wrong team, he may get promoted in a few years.

"Station in a wrong team...?" Zhang Zian took the hint.

Xiao Yan did not know his complex feelings at this time, and continued saying, "On the contrary, if you think it will be difficult to solve the case... then reject it. If you accept the task but fail, it would be better to not take the task and keep your mystery. "

Zhang Zian did not know what kind of task it was and couldn't decide it now, only saying, "Thank you for your reminder, I will think twice before I make the decision."

Xiao Yan nodded.

"But you are so powerful and know everything," he sincerely gave her a compliment. Xiao Yan not only understood the relevant knowledge of civil compensation, but also knew the detailed background of Captain Sheng. It was not luck for her to be successful in her career.

Xiao Yan laughed, "You think I wanted to understand this? I was forced when I was feeling helpless."

Her life, summed up, was: Entrepreneurship was hard with a lot of battles.
