As this press conference concluded, the apprehension operation commenced.
Police cars, their lights flashing, began heading towards the locations where traces of wild animals had been discovered.
Yang Lin, the chief consultant for the operation, was in a minivan with Lin Feng.
It was impossible to fit Li Goudan and his companions in a regular police car due to their immense size.
Currently, Yang Lin appeared to be staring blankly out the window, but in reality, he was observing the surroundings through Li Shuangying's aerial vision.
Li Shuangying's super vision provided an unobstructed view of the area within a five-kilometer radius.
Before long, a figure appearing near a patch of greenery caught his attention.
With its golden-brown fur and robust physique, Yang Lin immediately recognized its identity.
An Akhal-Teke horse.
A legendary breed, the Ferghana horse, was one of the world's most prized horse breeds, a walking fortune, and an unreachable existence for the Xihong Zoo.
Despite discovering its whereabouts, Yang Lin maintained a nonchalant demeanor to avoid unnecessary trouble and said to Lin Feng,
"Captain Lin, I just saw a comment from a netizen saying they think they spotted a horse near their home.
It's at Mingzhu Garden not far ahead. Should we go take a look now?"
Upon hearing Yang Lin's words, Lin Feng, without the slightest suspicion, instructed the driver ahead,
"Contact Squad One. We're going to Mingzhu Garden to check it out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the driver made a turn, and several police cars immediately followed behind.
Soon, they arrived at the location Yang Lin had mentioned.
The moment they arrived, the Akhal-Teke horse, which had been grazing on vegetation in the green belt, sensed their presence.
Before anyone could approach, it galloped away towards the other side of the road on its four long legs.
Seeing this, the driver prepared to accelerate.
But at that moment, Yang Lin suddenly spoke.
"Stop! Don't drive over there. It'll get spooked again if you do."
"With the road conditions, we definitely can't catch it by car. Let me out and give me a motorcycle."
Lin Feng agreed to Yang Lin's request without hesitation.
The next second, Yang Lin opened the car door and exited with the Wang Wang team.
A police motorcycle was already waiting for him outside the vehicle.
Yang Lin's eyes lit up as he saw the police motorcycle he usually only admired from afar, and he excitedly mounted it.
Simultaneously, he loosened the eight leashes in his hand.
"Goudan, Gousheng, take your brothers and stop that horse ahead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eight members of the Wang Wang team rushed out like a gust of wind.
Yang Lin instantly twisted the throttle and followed them on the police motorcycle.
The officers present looked bewildered.
"Captain, can Director Yang really catch that horse like this? Won't he be in danger?"
"Of course. He's right; with this road environment, it's not convenient for us to pursue the horse. If we don't want to harm the horse, perhaps we really do need Director Yang's help."
While Lin Feng and the officers were discussing, Yang Lin had already ridden the police motorcycle for several kilometers.
Perhaps sensing no more danger, the startled Akhal-Teke horse began to slow down.
It was at this moment that Li Goudan and Li Gousheng seized the opportunity while it was relaxed to surround it.
Faced with eight strong, large dogs, even a wild Akhal-Teke horse could not easily escape.
Moreover, this was an Akhal-Teke horse that had been domesticated by humans.
After being surrounded, it soon became docile.
Seeing that it had finally been intercepted, Yang Lin, riding the motorcycle, slowly approached it.
Looking at the graceful Ferghana horse before him, Yang Lin directly said,
"Why did you run? No one was going to hurt you."
Hearing Yang Lin's words, the Akhal-Teke horse, which had been looking agitated, suddenly looked at him in surprise.
"Why can I understand you? Are you also a horse?"
"You're the horse, I'm human."
"You can't run anymore, okay? If you run again, you'll be beaten to death."
"Besides, the zoo provides you with good food and drink. Why are you running?"
Although shocked that Yang Lin could communicate with it without any barriers, the Akhal-Teke horse quickly responded to what Yang Lin said.
"I didn't want to run, but I was scared. And I get motion sickness; I feel like throwing up whenever I get in a vehicle."
As it spoke, a look of terror appeared on its long face.
"That's it? You ran away for such a flimsy reason?"
"How about this? You come with me later, and I'll explain your situation to them, okay?"
"You don't want to keep eating grass from the roadside, do you?"
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, the Akhal-Teke horse shook its head repeatedly.
"I won't eat it anymore. The grass outside is too unpleasant to eat; it's not fit for a horse. I want to go back."
"In that case, let's go."
Saying this, Yang Lin prepared to turn his motorcycle around and leave with the Ferghana horse.
However, looking at its agile figure, a bold idea struck him.
"Why not ride this thing back?"
Once this thought occurred, Yang Lin could no longer suppress it.
Who could refuse a Ferghana horse worth millions?
Frankly speaking, if he missed this opportunity, he might never get another chance in his lifetime.
With this in mind, Yang Lin immediately parked the borrowed police motorcycle by the roadside.
He didn't consider the possibility of it being lost at all.
Who would dare steal such a thing in the entire Dragon Country, he thought.
After parking the motorcycle, Yang Lin wasted no more time. He grabbed the saddle of the Akhal-Teke horse and vaulted onto its back.
"Goudan, Gousheng, let's go!"
As he spoke, Yang Lin flicked the reins in his hand, and the Ferghana horse beneath him broke through the wind, galloping on the empty street.
At the same time, Li Goudan and the other eight dogs followed closely behind.
Before long, they found Lin Feng and his team again.
At this moment, Lin Feng and his team had also spotted Yang Lin.
Upon seeing Yang Lin galloping on horseback with eight dogs trailing behind him, everyone present was stunned.
Although they had already guessed that Yang Lin might be able to retrieve the Akhal-Teke horse, they had never expected such a scene.
As Yang Lin approached, a reporter accompanying the team fumbled to turn on their camera.
Soon, the news of the Akhal-Teke horse's recovery was transmitted back to the operation command center by the accompanying reporter.
Transmitted along with it was the image of Yang Lin galloping through the streets on the Akhal-Teke horse.
