Ding Ning was constantly searching in the flower and bird market. What he needed was a pet with intelligence which was small and not easy to attract people’s attention.

Shrews was a good choice for Ground tracking work, but by communicating he found that shrews were not intelligential, and very weak in vision, thus not suitable for pets with intelligence.

On the contrary, dog pets were quite spiritual and easy to communicate, but Ding Ning did not want to take another dog as pet with intelligence. After all, dog was big to be targeted at, and it was easy to be detected by the target with strong anti-investigation consciousness.

Aquatic organisms were not considered, and then excluding dogs and rats, so birds became the first choice, such as parrots, larks, thrushes, pigeons, woodpeckers, and cuckoos…

But communicating with them, Ding Ning was disappointed to find that the birds had no spirit at all probably because they had been locked up in the cage for a long time. Therefore, they were no match for Xiaojin.

“Bro, since you’ve been around for a long time, I wonder what kind of pets you want to buy?”

Just as he shook his head and wanted to leave, suddenly a middle-aged man with sneaky eyes stopped his way and asked furtively.

Ding Ning’s soul moved. He had heard that there were many people in the pet market who illegally sold animals protected by the state. The middle-aged man in front of him were probably one of them.

He immediately asked calmly, “What pet do you have?”

“I can provide you with anything you want except the giant panda.”

Although the middle-aged man was thievish-looking, he said presumptuously.

But Dinning did not doubt what he said. He knew that some people specialized in poaching all over the world, and even polar bears could get at a proper price.

“I don’t know what pets I want. It depends on the feeling and fate. Go ahead.”

Ding Ning said ambiguously.

The middle-aged man frowned, looking up and down at him with suspicion on his face, and asked vigilantly, “You’re not from the Animal Protection Association, are you?”

“Ha-ha, do you think I am?”

Ding Ning knew that he was suspicious and complained in disguise, “My wife always likes to raise pets, cats and dogs at home. She raises a lot of pets. Since today is her birthday today, I want to send her a special pet to please her. But the pets on the market are too ordinary for her. If you can take me to buy the pets I want, please assure that I will definitely pay you thank fee.”

Ding Ning saw that this guy was a middleman. He spent all day wandering around the pet market, looking for invisible buyers with his eyesight and collecting introduction fees.

Money disturbed the hearts of people. If you mentioned money to such a man, he would surely be greedy.

True it was that the middle-aged man’s eyes suddenly brightened up because of the thank fee. After a little hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, I think you really want to buy it. Then I, Chen Laoqi, risk to take you there. Anyway, those vendors are not easy to get along with. Even if you are from the animal protection association, you can’t play tricks on them. Maybe you will be wrapped in a jute bag and sank into the river.”

“Hey, I sincerely came to buy pets, but not to make trouble here. Go ahead. Here, one thousand yuan for introduction, and when I get the pet I want, I will give you another one thousand yuan for thanks!”

Ding Ning took out his wallet and generously gave him 1,000 yuan, so that Chen Laoqi was too happy to close his mouth and stuffed the money into his pocket. He immediately became enthusiastic. “Follow me.”

Following Chen Laoqi, he was almost dizzy by the twists and turns in the flower and bird market, and finally stopped in front of a warehouse-style building. The rolling gate was pulled up, and whether there was anyone inside was unknown.

“Here it is. It’s the place of Master Nine-finger. Don’t talk so rashly that you may be annoyed by him. Then, nobody can save you, and even I will get in trouble.”

Chen Laoqi’s look also became serious, and he earnestly exhorted.

“I’m here to buy pets, and not to make trouble. Don’t worry. I’ll never let you get in trouble.”

Ding Ning patted Chen Laoqi on his shoulder righteously. He just wanted to find a pet with intelligence. Master Nine-finger or Brother Nine-finger had nothing to do with him.

“That’s good!”

Chen Laoqi turned around and pressed the doorbell on the wall. In a short time, the electric rolling gate rose automatically, but stopped only half way up. From inside, a fierce-looking man went out. After a careful look at Ding Ning, he said, “Chen Laoqi, is this the guest you brought?”

Chen Laoqi hurriedly took out a pack of wrinkled cigarette Yellow Crane Tower from his pocket, and handed it to him. He said flatteringly, “Brother Dafei, this is the guest I brought with me. He wants to buy some rare pets.”

The man named Dafei nodded and let Chen Laoqi light his cigarette for him. After taking a deep breath, he spat out the curling smoke and looked at Ding Ning obliquely. “First, I don’t care who you are, what your identity is, or whether you can buy our goods, but when you come out of this door, you should act as you never came, and the goods will not be returned or exchanged, you know?”

“Do not worry, I know the rules!”

Ding Ning said in a calm voice, but he secretly complained in his heart. “They are just selling a prohibited pet, so why do they behave like drug trafficking.”

“Come in then!”

Dafei seemed satisfied with Ding Ning’s answer and turned to bend down and get in.

Ding Ning followed in without saying anything. Chen Laoqi hesitated for a moment. He was supposed to leave after bringing the guest here. When he returned, someone would settle the introduction fee with him. But he was concerned about the thousand yuan Ding Ning promised, so he bent down to get in.

“What are you doing in here?” Dafei was about to press the button to put down the rolling gate. When he saw Chen Laoqi coming in, his face looked terrible.

“I, I haven’t come in yet, and I want to broaden my vision.”

Chen Laoqi’s face turned white and said with groaning.

Ding Ning knew it well and quickly took out a thousand yuan to hand it to him. “Okay, since Brother Dafei has his rules here, you’d better go out.”

“OK, OK, I’ll go out now. Thank you. Thank you, bro!”

Chen Laoqi was overjoyed. He nodded, with a flattering smile at Dafei. He thanked Ding Ning and sneaked out. It seemed that Dafei brought him a lot of pressure.

Ding Ning also saw that Dafei was not an ordinary person who had sharp eyes and steady footsteps. He was absolutely a trainer.

With bronze skin, knotted muscles and walking posture, he were likely to be one of the poachers.

But it had nothing to do with him, and his eyes were attracted by the cages of different sizes in the warehouse.

The warehouse was very large and long. Walking along the middle aisle, he found that the cages on both sides were full of animals, like animal fairs, which dazzled him.

Such as tiger snake, anteater, sloth, armadillo, opossum, spider monkey, anaconda, red-tailed owl, horned horse, zebra, gazelle, cheetah, raccoon, leopard, golden monkey, mink bear, northeastern tiger, Muntiacus crinifrons, Sika deer, Tibetan antelope, beaver, golden eagle, green peacock, red-crowned crane, four-clawed tortoise, Asian giant softshell turtle, lizard, etc.

Looking at Ding Ning’s shocked eyes, Dafei said proudly, “How about that? We have all the goods here, right?”

“Yes. Damn it! I feel dizzy.”

Ding Ning sincerely said, because the animals here were more than that in the national zoo.

Dafei smiled and said, “These are all in stock. If you want anything else, we can also accept the reservation. You can pay a deposit in advance, and we’ll get it for you in a month, but the price may be higher.”

Ding Ning’s heart moved. “Is there any panther?”

“Panther?” Dafei was stunned, and then laughed. “You must be joking. Panther is not a species. Leopard or panthera onca is likely to give birth to panther.”

“I know that. I just like the pure black panther. It looks beautiful.”

Ding Ning laughed irrefutably. How could he possibly not know that the panther was a black variant of the leopard, but it was not an independent species?

The reason why the color of the panther’s coat is black is that it is born with melanosis, which increases the melanin content of the diseased animals, so the color of the panther’s coat will appear black.

“Wait a minute. It is not available in this warehouse. I’ll contact other warehouses to check if there are any panthers.”

Dafei was very dedicated, and immediately took out his mobile phone to get in touch with others.

Ding Ning was shocked secretly. He thought there were enough species in this warehouse. He didn’t realize that it was just one of the warehouses. How many warehouses did the poaching organization have? It was definitely an international poaching organization. No wonder he was warned to keep secret.

“You just want a panther? Don’t you want anything else?”

Dafei hung up the phone and asked unwillingly while he was waiting for his peers to answer.

“Yes, why not? How much is this pair?”

Ding Ning took a fancy to a pair of little raccoons.

The two raccoons lay listlessly in their cages, but their smart eyes looked at him pitifully and imploringly, as if they wanted to leave the dark environment.

Although Ding Ning could not confirm whether the raccoons were spiritual or what IQ could be achieved by genetically modified, he decided to buy them, because their small eyes looked distressed.

Dafei was overjoyed when he heard that Ding Ning wanted the raccoons. “The raccoons themselves are not very expensive, but because it is too hard to get them back, we have spent a lot of money. If you really want them, give me five million yuan.”

Ding Ning frowned. Although he had decided to buy it, he couldn’t even pay the price without bargaining. “Brother Dafei, the price is a little high. I’ll take it with two million yuan.”

“Two million yuan is not enough for us to pay the freight. I think you are sincere enough to buy it. You can take it with three million yuan.”

Dafei seemed to be reluctant, but he was overjoyed in his heart. This pair of raccoons was unaccustomed to the climate here. If he didn’t sell it timely, it could die. But if he could earn more, he naturally couldn’t agree at once.

“This pair of raccoons is obviously sick. I have to cure them after buying. I will take it with two million yuan, otherwise, I am not buying.”

Knowing the essence of bargaining, Ding Ning firmly said. As a doctor, how could he not see that two raccoons were not acclimatized and sick? But for him, this didn’t matter. As long as they were genetically modified, they could adapt to any environment.

Dafei pretended to hesitate until he saw Ding Ning showing impatience. Then he gritted his teeth painfully and said, “It is the first time that we have dealt with each other. Fine, we can make friends. Two million yuan deals.”

“OK, by the way, how much is the pair of hummingbirds?”

Ding Ning accidentally found two hummingbirds in a very tiny cage, and his eyes were suddenly lit up.

“Well, to be honest, hummingbirds are not worth much, but it’s hard to catch them…”

Just as Dafei was about to ask for a lot of money, his mobile phone rang. He apologetically gestured to Ding Ning and answered the phone, “Hello…”

“Ha-ha, my friend, you are so lucky. I just brought a shipment from America today. There’s really a panther in it. If you are sure to buy it, I’ll let someone send it now.”

Dafei didn’t even hang up the phone, and he said to Ding Ning with surprise on his face.

Ding Ning was happy to hear that and said, “How much is it?” If the price is OK, I’ll take it.”
