The live-streamed object exploration made me release that bird.

Chapter 26 Destroying the Cattle-Stealing Gang

The situation before him sent chills down Yang Xun's spine; there was only one possibility he could think of.

Those are the people slaughtering cattle up ahead; they are a gang that steals, slaughters, and sells cattle.

They first steal the cattle, load them onto trucks, and bring them back here. Then they slaughter them and take them out to sell. No matter how hard you search, you will never find the missing cattle.

Because the cow has already been slaughtered and sold as beef.

Not only did Yang Xun immediately realize that this was a cattle-stealing gang, but the viewers in the live stream also guessed it. They were extremely anxious and urged the streamer to leave immediately, otherwise, once discovered by this group, they would not be able to escape and might even be in personal danger.

Of course, many viewers also urged the anchor to call the police immediately so that they could take down the cattle-stealing gang in one fell swoop.

After weighing his options, Yang Xun quietly returned to his car in the woods.

Liu Cuilan, who hadn't gotten out of the car yet and was feeling anxious, looked at Yang Xun getting in and asked urgently, "Anchor, have you found my ox? Should we give up? There's no one around here, and it's getting dark. Shall we go back?"

"Sister Liu, I've found your cow, but the situation is a bit too sudden. I'll call the police first. Sister Liu, please don't ask any more questions."

Yang Xun offered a reassuring remark, then took his phone and called the police.

A few minutes later, Yang Xun explained the situation to the person on the other end of the line, and they were told not to act rashly and to wait patiently for them to arrive.

Liu Cuilan then realized that her ox hadn't run off to hide anywhere, but had been stolen—by a gang that stole, slaughtered, and sold cattle. A little scared, she asked, "Answerer, are we safe here? What if they find us?"

Yang Xun looked around at the surroundings and reassured her, "Sister Liu, don't worry. As long as we don't get out of the car or go outside, passing cars won't notice us here. That cattle-stealing gang doesn't know they've been discovered either. We can just wait patiently."

"Uh-huh."

Liu Cuilan nodded repeatedly, but she still felt somewhat uneasy.

Just then, his phone rang. Yang Xun picked it up and saw that it was his landlady calling. He quickly answered the call.

"Xiao Xun, I didn't expect you to do something so dangerous. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you go, and I certainly wouldn't have lent you the car. Xiao Xun, what's your situation right now? Listen to me, drive out first. Don't stay there; it's very dangerous."

Also, if you're livestreaming, those people could easily spot you. Leave quickly, don't stay there."

Touched by the landlady's concern, Yang Xun said, "Thank you for your concern, Sister Chen. I'm fine for now. I've called the police, and they'll be here soon. Don't worry, Sister Chen."

"They called the police, that's even better. Xiao Xun, don't get out of the car. If there's any commotion, just drive away and make sure those guys don't catch you."

"Sister Chen, I know, I will definitely be careful."

"Yes, Xun, you must be careful. I'm looking forward to your return soon."

"Sister Chen, I will. Sister Chen, that's all for now, I have a phone call coming in."

"it is good."

After hanging up, Yang Xun answered another call from Jiang Ran.

"Xiao Xun, you just helped me find the turtle, and I didn't expect you to run off to such a far and dangerous place to look for cattle. But don't worry, Xiao Xun, I've already notified Xiao Min, and they'll be there as soon as possible. But Xiao Xun, you need to be careful. If anything happens, just drive away and talk to them first. Don't fight with those people."

Yang Xun was surprised that Jiang Ran not only watched his live stream but also cared about him so much. He was very touched and said gratefully, "President Jiang, thank you for your concern. I will be careful. If anything happens, I will drive away immediately."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here at the restaurant until you return safely, Xiaoxun. I'll prepare a delicious meal to celebrate."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone again, Yang Xun finally had time to check the live stream, and he was startled.

The live stream was filled with words of advice, prayers, and blessings, along with a flood of flowers and gifts. The number of viewers broke the thousand mark again, heading straight for two thousand.

After expressing his gratitude for the situation in the live stream, Yang Xun calmed down and waited.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Yang Xun was wondering why the police hadn't arrived yet, several police cars suddenly sped past on the mountain road ahead, heading into the ravine ahead.

Reassured by this, Yang Xun started the car and drove forward, heading into the ravine ahead.

From afar, Yang Xun saw dozens of police officers quickly get out of their vehicles and arrest everyone in the ravine, including those slaughtering cattle and those resting there.

Qin Min, whom I had met before, was among them.

As for Liu Cuilan, who was the first to open the car door and get out, she ran towards the cowshed next door, crying with joy: "My yellow ox, this is my yellow ox."

At this moment, Yang Xun opened the car door and got out.

Qin Min walked up and said, "Anchor Yang, you're really brave. You've solved another big case. With your abilities, it would be a shame if you didn't join us."

Yang Xun laughed awkwardly, "Sister Min, I didn't want such a thrilling scene either, but I was helping a fan find a cow and ended up here. Luckily, Sister Min and the others arrived in time, or I would have had a heart attack."

"Anchor Yang, with such a big heart, how could you possibly have a heart attack from fright?"

Qin Min laughed and said, "But I still thank you, Anchor Yang, for ridding the people of this scourge. Anchor Yang, next time something like this happens, could you please turn off the live stream first? You're making it easy to attract attention. What if one of their people is watching your live stream? You're not only giving them advance notice, but you're also putting yourself in danger, and they might run away and come back to retaliate against you later."

Yang Xun nodded: "Yes, that's right, Sister Min, you're right to remind me. I'll definitely pay attention next time."

"Well, let's not talk about it anymore, let's go back and talk about it later."

"it is good."

Afterwards, Yang Xun took Liu Cuilan to his car and drove back to the police station.

Over the next half hour, after giving his statement, Yang Xun vaguely answered some of the police officers' questions, then took Liu Cuilan back to Baishi Village, where Liu Cuilan's stolen ox was also returned.

Ding.

[Find the ox, complete the quest, and receive 300 exploration points.]

[Live stream of item exploration has ended. 200 item exploration points earned.]

Meanwhile, the system's settlement arrived as scheduled. With the addition of the 500 exploration points just obtained, the exploration points reached 1480, enough to initiate one active exploration.

"Host, thank you so much! Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get my scalped money back. I'll transfer the money to you right now."

At the Liu family's door, Liu Cuilan held Yang Xun's hand with both hands, expressing her gratitude repeatedly. Then she took out her phone and transferred 1,000 yuan. She then said to her father, who had come out, "Dad, look at the streamer. Isn't he amazing? He helped us find the scalper."

Also, Dad, you have no idea how dangerous it was to find the cow. It turns out that the cow we couldn't find didn't just wander off; it was stolen. The anchor took me to the thieves, and we called the police, who arrested them all.

"Dad, do you still dare to say that things you haven't seen or heard of don't exist? The streamer is a perfect example. Dad, you need to apologize to the streamer."
