Reborn as a tiger cub, I'm too weak, so I can only rely on self-discipline.

Chapter 53: Luring the Masses, Working Together from Inside and Outside

"Oh right! There's a little tiger over here at Longhua Square Pedestrian Street!"

Of course it's true! Why would I lie to you? Officer, don't doubt my character based on nothing!

Hurry up and come over! There are already a lot of people gathered here; you'll see them as soon as you arrive.

"Quickly take this little tiger back to the mountains. It might have gotten lost and wandered into the city. We don't want it to attract the mountain god's wrath."

Although the young people around, especially the beautiful young girls, all wanted to interact with Cang Nian for a while longer, they crowded the place with people.

However, some elderly people who came out for a walk after dinner knew the importance of the matter and some had already taken out their phones to call the police.

Surrounded by a group of young women, Cang Nian's lips curled into a smile upon hearing this.

Immediately, he stopped obediently letting passersby pet the tiger and nimbly darted out from the gaps in the crowd!

"Oh no! The little tiger has run away! Quickly, catch it back!"

"Don't run around! Little cutie, don't get hit by a car!"

"Quick, chase after it! We can't let it get away! If the police come, it'll be such a hassle!"

……

The old man's escape surprised the onlookers who were taking pictures, and they shouted incoherently.

Even some young people who wanted to take photos and pet the tiger, or middle-aged and elderly people with a strong sense of social responsibility, followed suit.

Fortunately, Cangnian didn't run far. It seemed to have just been startled and stopped timidly among the green bushes not far away.

But just as the crowd moved closer, Cang Nian turned and ran, crossing the road while the light was red, and came to the pedestrian crossing on the other side.

Seeing this, the crowd continued to chase, and Cang Nian continued to run.

But Cangnian would only run a short distance before stopping, as if he found it amusing and was waiting for the people behind him to catch up.

"Oh dear! This little tiger is so naughty!"

"How come it's even more agile than a cat? Isn't it said that cats are the tiger's teacher?"

"You believe in fables? But it is indeed a bit strange. How can such a small tiger cub be so athletic? I saw such big ones at the zoo before, and they would fall over after running a few steps!"

"Can those animals in zoos be compared to those raised in the wild?"

"Exactly! The one in the zoo is called Fat Tiger, and the one in the mountain is called Mountain God!"

……

Although the number of people chasing after Cangnian is decreasing, there are still a large number of people who have nothing better to do than follow along.

Moreover, as they witness this amusing scene along the way, many more people will join in the chase.

So, Cangnian fished out the group of passersby from a distance, sometimes close, sometimes far, sometimes close, sometimes pulling them in and sometimes letting them out.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Cangnian was "escaping" in an almost straight line.

This straight line points directly to that factory building!

……

Finally, under the careful kite of the old man, he returned to the industrial park where the factory was located.

Cang Nian himself slipped through the gap in the unstable gate.

Upon seeing this, some people stopped where they were, while others, being more daring, climbed over the wall to enter.

Seeing that someone had climbed over the wall and gone in, others followed suit.

Although sneaking into an industrial park at night by climbing over the wall is strictly speaking an improper act.

But the law doesn't punish everyone!

So even though Cangnian ran back to the factory, there were still more than 30 people following behind him.

Finally, upon seeing the familiar factory building, Cang Nian quickly raised its forelimbs and gripped the factory gate with its claws.

"Awoooooo—!!!"

A childish voice, tinged with panic and fear, came from the young man's tender throat.

Just as everyone was wondering why Cang Nian had stopped running and was even yelling at the factory, an astonishing roar came from within!

“Ouch——!!!”

The voice was captivating; even those who had recently done something wrong couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

“Ouch——!!!”

"Awoooooo~!"

Then, two more voices rang out, one loud and one soft. The former was slightly higher-pitched than the initial astonishing roar, but equally terrifying. The latter sounded like Cang Nian's cry, and was clearly from a small creature.

"There...are there tigers inside?"

"It definitely is! I've heard tigers roar at the zoo, and it sounds a lot like this, but it's not this powerful. It makes my heart tremble!"

"Holy crap! That scared me so much, my legs went weak!"

"What's going on? Why are there tigers here, and they should be adults?"

"Could they be the tiger cub's parents? Judging from their voices, there seems to be another cub too!"

"Who cares? We don't have a zoo in Kangcheng. These tigers must be from shady sources. Whatever they do, we should just call the police!"

"Yes! Call the police immediately!"

……

Hearing the sounds coming from the factory, the passersby who had followed immediately erupted in a commotion.

"Hey! Officer! I'm calling the police! There's a factory here, and we're hearing tiger sounds coming from inside. We suspect there might be some criminals involved. Why don't you send someone? I reckon you'll get a third-class merit award for nothing!"

"I'm not really sure where we are either. How about we add each other on WeChat, policewoman, and I'll send you the location?"

A young man was the first to take out his phone and call the police.

"Young man, you've got some nerve! Harassing a female police officer, isn't that assaulting a police officer?"

An uncle who was a complete stranger to him, but who had come along to chase after the passing of his father, gave him a thumbs up.

"What assault on a police officer? I didn't even touch him, how could that be considered an assault on a police officer?"

The young man rolled his eyes.

"I think that asking for your WeChat based on your appearance would be considered assaulting a police officer."

Beside her, a pretty girl who had come along spoke expressionlessly.

"Hey! Look, I successfully assaulted a police officer!"

The young man was taken aback for a moment, but then accepted the female police officer's WeChat friend request, turned his phone around, and smugly said...

He then sent his location.

At this moment, Cangnian was completely relieved.

With the police involved, it won't be long before the factory is forcibly opened, and all the crimes inside will be exposed to the light of day.

When the time comes, the police will arrest the poachers and bring them to justice.

As for my family, they will probably be sent back to the mountains by the armed police.

In this way, everyone is happy.

Beep beep beep—! ! !

Just then, a series of sirens sounded, and the dark industrial park was brightly illuminated by the high beams.

"Uh... are police response times this fast now? I sent the location and it hasn't even been two and a half minutes?"

Seeing this, the young man who called the police was puzzled.

"Don't move! Uncle Qin, see? I told you! There are definitely criminal gangs entrenched here. More than thirty people are sneaking around here at night instead of going home to sleep. I don't know what they're up to. They're definitely doing something illegal or criminal!"

At that moment, several police cars stopped in front of the factory gate, and then a familiar voice rang out.

Upon closer inspection, Cang Nian was slightly taken aback.

"Isn't that the fisherman?"
