The gaze of the man in the lead locked directly onto Yang Qi, who was standing beside the car.
He was in his thirties, with a sharp buzz cut and a stern expression.
Stopping about two steps in front of Yang Qi, he first presented his credentials, his voice resonant and formal.
"Hello, we're from the Ningshan County Forest Police. I'm Squadron Leader Luo Kaifeng."
Just as he was about to explain the purpose of his visit, Yang Qi cut him off with a natural smile, handing him a stack of credentials and documents.
"Hello, Captain Luo. I'm Yang Qi, a zookeeper at the Donghua City Wildlife Park."
"These are my credentials, along with the permits and authorization documents allowing me to temporarily leave the zoo with this clouded leopard cub. Please take a look."
Luo Kaifeng clearly hadn't expected this reaction from Yang Qi, much less for him to so proactively and methodically produce so many documents.
