Hearing someone call out to him, Yang Qi turned to look at the stopped police car.
Through the driver's side window, he saw a round-faced male police officer in his mid-twenties looking at him with delighted surprise.
Yang Qi searched his memory and confirmed he didn't recognize the man.
But guessing it was an officer from a nearby station responding to the call, he nodded as a form of greeting.
He then gestured for Bai Wan to continue tracking.
The man and dog quickly passed through the Zoo's main gate, merging into the stream of people outside.
Ms. Zhou followed closely behind them.
Inside the police car, Wang Anjiu watched the departing figures of Yang Qi and Bai Wan, and spoke excitedly to an older, composed-looking officer of about fifty in the passenger seat.
"Sir, did you see? That was Yang Qi! The 'Druid' from Donghua Zoo! I finally got to see him in person!"
"Wow, he's even more handsome in person than in his photos. And his aura is amazing."
