Animal Whisperer: Take Back My Life and Love Chapter 224: The Golden Opportunity

"Mr. Simon is something else. It only took him three hours to get the suspect to spit out everything—the handlers, the meeting methods, the works."

As Captain Simmons spoke, a hint of confusion flickered across his face, and he muttered under his breath:

"With ability like that, how on earth did he get assigned to a small township station in the first place... What a waste of talent."

Just then, Commissioner West's assistant brought over the detailed interrogation records. As the Commissioner read, his eyes grew brighter, and when he looked back at Simon, his gaze was filled with genuine appreciation and a desire to recruit him.

"Simon," he said, setting the records down and speaking formally. "At the end of the year, there is a nationwide Elite Training program in Bellwood. It brings together the most outstanding young officers and external experts from all over the world to exchange experience and improve together."

He looked at Simon expectantly and issued a direct invitation: "Are you interested in participating?"

Hearing the words Elite Training, Captain Simmons looked up in surprise.

He protested, half-joking and half-serious: "Commissioner West! That's not very fair of you—trying to poach my man right in front of me?"

Captain Simmons looked at Simon, his face written with reluctance. "I just got my hands on this treasure, and I haven't even had the chance to settle him in yet..."

Simon was momentarily taken aback by the invitation. He didn't agree immediately; instead, he turned to Nancy beside him, his voice firm: "If I participate, can my sister obtain the qualification for this training as well?"

Commissioner West smiled and took a gentle look at Nancy's slender frame. "The requirements for the Elite Training are quite comprehensive; you have to pass both the mental and physical tests. In that regard..."

Nancy understood what the Commissioner left unsaid. She scratched her head awkwardly; her physical stamina was indeed quite poor.

However, the Commissioner's tone shifted, becoming meaningful. "But you don't need to worry about her at all. Even without this channel, other departments will be actively inviting her to Bellwood."

He leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice with a touch of certainty. "If all goes well, the people from National Security... should be knocking on your door in a few days."

National Security!

Nancy blinked in surprise. That was the legendary, mysterious department!

While she had a vague inkling they might contact her, her primary concern was her brother. "What exactly is this Elite Training? Why did Captain Simmons look like my brother was being snatched away the moment he heard it?"

Captain Simmons sighed and explained, "This training is more than just classes."

"Those who perform exceptionally well during the training and the drills are very likely to be selected directly for the Bellwood Supreme Bureau..."

He looked at Simon with a complex expression, filled with both pride and reluctance. "Your brother is so talented that once he goes, it will be hard for him to go unnoticed... Sigh, I'm honestly both happy and conflicted!"

"As long as you can go, that's all that matters!" Nancy's heart raced the moment she heard that.

A direct transfer to the Bellwood Supreme Bureau! With Simon's capabilities, his future would be limitless.

She excitedly grabbed Simon's sleeve and gave it a gentle shake. "What are you hesitating for? Say yes!"

With a sparkle in her eyes, Nancy was already planning the future. "Don't worry about me. I'll just open an animal hospital there! I'll travel between both cities!"

Simon looked at his sister's tugging with a mix of helplessness and worry, but his expression soon calmed. He turned to Commissioner West, his posture upright, speaking with steady sincerity:

"Thank you for your kindness and for the opportunity, Commissioner. I will give it my all and live up to your expectations."

At that moment, Captain Neil was presiding over the meeting. Their conversation was kept very low and did not attract the attention of those around them.

However, Jack's gaze remained locked on Nancy and Simon. Nancy sensed the look and looked up to meet his eyes. When she caught sight of the roll of the banner that Jack hadn't put away yet, things suddenly became clear in her mind.

She finally realized why Jack had put on this show with the banner today. Had he heard news of the Elite Training and wanted to use this chance to get involved?

Nancy understood now why Jack had uncharacteristically offered to collaborate with her. His true goal was likely to use a successful case to secure a transfer to Bellwood as an external consultant for the Bellwood Police. The Summers family didn't lack money now; what they lacked was prestige and power.

Once the meeting ended, Nancy hurried to the Municipal Wildlife Rescue Station. In the isolation ward, she saw the female Red-crowned crane. Her condition had stabilized, but she was very weak.

Her partner, the male crane, was carefully dipping his beak into a water basin and then gently letting the fresh water drip onto the female's dry beak. Seeing her swallow slightly, he tenderly rubbed his cheek against her neck, letting out low, soothing calls.
